harm, and you cannot afford to take any chances. As ref

THOUSANDS
WILL COME
Meteorite to Be Exhibited in.
Oregon City.
DR. CARLL SETS THE PACE
Litigants Consented to Have
Mo'ten Mass Displayed
In Courthouse
Square,
Thousands of people from all over
the United States will be given an
opportunity to view the famous me
teor, which will 'be placed on the
courthouse (square within a few weeks.
The molten mass was discovered
more than d year ago in Wost
Oregon City, and has beeu in
littgation ever since. Twice has
the Oregon Iron & Steel Company
been awarded the huge piece of iron,
hot counter claims are still pending
and notice of appeal has been given in
the supreme court. The metoorite
weighs probably 15 tons and is the
second largest in the world and the
lnrgest in the United States.
To Dr. W. E. Oarll belongs the
credit of initiating the movement to
plnce the meteor on exhibition in this
city. He saw that thousands of Fair
visitors would be attracted to Oregon
City, and aft'jr a grenfrdoal of trouble
seoured tho consent of the litigants to
have it placed in the courthouse
square, pending settlement of .the lit
igation. While permissioD has not
been granted formally by the county
oourt, the matter as boen referred to
Judge Ryan with power to act, and it
is understood that the judge will give
his oonsent, providing restrictions are
S laced about the masB, to prevent
epredatious to county property.
The meteor will be situatod on the 1
north side of the courthouse, and a
plaoe will be made in the alley where
people may have a splendid view.
The great number of visitors that
will be brought to Oreogn City to see
the bigmeteorite will spend thousands
of dollars here and the business men
will reap the benefit.
