yREGoN CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 190 3 COUNTY WILL ASK FOR BIDS Arguments Made for and Against Barton Bridge. MR. TRACY SCORES GRANGE Estimates Considered Low, But if People Contribute Enough, Bridge May Be Bailt. Whether the Barton bridgo across tue uiiiRkamas will be constructed or not is still an open question, but it seems probable that ultimately the im provements will be made, notwith standing protests from the Oregon City Board of Trade and taxpayers. The matter occupied the attention of the county court all Thursday after noon, and James "Tracy, one of the heavy property owners of Logam made a speech in which he announced the Lojan Orange, which passed resolu tions opposing the construction. "The Grange was formed in 1874 in my hall," Baid Mr. Tracy, "and if they have ever done anything of bene fit since that time, I would l;ke to have someone sliow me. " Judge Gordon E. Hayes appeared for the petitioners as an attorney, and he said that ho was there also as a publio-spirited citizen. "I am aware of the fact," said he, "that no improvement has ever been made in Clackamas county without opposition. I am not a representative of the Oregon Water Power & Rail' way Oompauy, but of the five gentle men who sit here, 1 confess that 1 am a little surprised at the members of .. the Board of Trade for exhibiting suoh alselHsh spirit. We muse give these people a market. Thoy have none. We cannot coruor all "of the trade of Clackamas county. Farmers of that section require facilities and they .must have them." The attorney roastd the Board of Trade and denounoad the opposition as a short-sighted policy. He made some comparisons with the situation in regard t roads and bridges at Stafford and Oswego. W. P. Kirchem, of Stone, talked in opposition to the bridge, as did Presi dent W. A. Hunltey, of the Board of Trade. County Judge Ryan said that the county court would advertise for bids for the contsrutcion of the bridge, with the object of ' ascertaining its cost, which has been estimated at 3500. This estimate is considered low too, but the total cost of the bridge and the three miles of road leading to it would probably be close to f 15, 000. Three thousand dollars have al ready been subscribed for the road, and the Oregon Water Power & Bail way Company will give $3000 toward the bridge. This will leave $3000 to be raised, and it is very likely that if the connty court is satisfied that the road and bridge can be made at a total oost to the oonnty of $15000, it will be done. Judge Ryan states that if Olaokamas county can secure $15,000 worth of bridge and road improvement for $6000, he regarded it as good pol icy to go ahead. . Estacsda Itsues Bonds. Estscada lias decided to issue bondB for $5000 for the erection of a new school building. The matter has been udner discussion for some time. I OLIVE OIL AS A PREVENTIVE OF CONSUMPTION " Diet is a great factor in the prevention and cure ot consumption," says Dr. W. H. Wiley, head chemist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and although no diet can be regarded as strictly "curative," many foods are of ex treme value in treatment on account of their high nutritive qualities namely, pure olive oil. Pure olive oil contains more nutrient than any other food, and in comparison with the best beef, io to 20 per cent. more. Two teaspoontuls before each meal is the proper portion. It is easily assimilated and readily clarifies the whole system particularly the bowels. Masticating it thoroughly in the mouth not only pre-digests it, but its oily p quancy is most helpful to the throat. Olive oil is a wholesome stimulant. To obtain all these desirable r suits, however; the oil must be absolutely pure. The. following branus we have handled for many years, and can safely guarantee them to be strictly pure.

One of the prettiest weddings in this city of recent years was solemnized at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday evening at th9 Episcopal church, when Miss Jennie Imogen Harding and Edward Everett Brodie were made man and wife. Long before the hour set for the cer emony the church was crowded by in vited guests, and many were unable to gain entrance. Mrs. Water Reed, ot Portland, reu- dored a solo, "I Know a Garden," by Oardils. This was followed by the entering of the bridal party, which was led by a chorus of Miss Harding's pupils, singing the wedding inarch. The bride, attended by her father, was met at the altar by the groom and the Rev. Phillip K. Hammond. Miss Neita Harding acted as maid of honor, and Mr. Tremble, of Portland, as best man. Immediately after the Services at tli a churchja reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. "George A. Harding. The large and spacious lawn of the Hardiugs was handsomely decorated with Chi nese lanterns, under which tables were placed to accomodate the guests re ceiving the delicious refreshments, which were served by a number of young lady friends of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Brodie left on a late oar for Portland, from whence they left this morning for a shoit honey moon at Victoria and Vancouver, B. O. The Harding home was most beau tifully decorated with flow ers and evergreens. Each room in which trie guests were received by the bride and groom, ' contained a distinct color scheme. Many beautiful presents were received by the young couple. Mr. and Mrs. Brodi9 are very popu lar and well known young people of this oitr.

Farmers are nutting forth all ttieir efforts to "make hay' while the suu shines," and will booh have the satis faction of having a splendid crop of that product harvested. The potato crop is looking flue. The late rains produced a gond effect on them, as well as the gardens. B. Freidricks and sons have shinglod their barn, which was only tempor arily roofed last summer. Laurence Mack, of Oregon City, has been working for J. W. Lowry the nast to weeks and has also heen enter taining the neighbors w'ith his phono graph. Mrs. Wm. Lowry has gone to Kan sas for a few month's visit with rel atives. The hops are about as thickly cov ered with lice as they can be and ap pear to be worse on high ground than low. if the present weather continues it may exterminate the nests to some extent, but spraying will have ito be resorted to to secure a lair crop. The warm weather has undoubtedly come too late to do the . grain much good in the way of ridding it of the grain aphis, as much of it is soon ready to cut and the substaucejs well sapped. George Lowry has gone to house keeping. Mr. iiorkholder purchased about 75 head of goats of Wm. Lowry, and ex pects them to do some good work for him clearing his laud. In some localities the fruit trees aro badly affected. Many of the branches are dying and in some orchards a num ber of the trees iiave not a vestige of green lea' es. This part of the country was well repre.ented at Oregon City the Fourth. 'Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Marsh expect to soon make their second trip to the Fnir. Lyman Mack, of Oregon City, passed through our burg Tuesday on his way to J. W. Lowry 's. . MOLALLA. Hay harvest is now the order of the day in this section. The meadows us ually are producing a light crop. There will be moBtly grain and cheat hay cut here. Spring oats will yield a light crop owing to a blight that re sembles rust but is sometiug that has never happened to grain in this seo tion before. Quite a serious accident happened to a young man last Sunday, whose home is near Monitor. He, with oth ers, were having an outing np near the mouth of Trout creek on the Mol alla river. He accidentally discharged a pistol and the bullet penetrated his left hand, entering between the sec ond and third fingers on the under side and passing out about an inch behind the knuckle of the little finger on tep of the hand. Dr. Powell gave it a temporary dressing. His hand was so swollen that the ' doctor could not tell just how serious the injury was, as he did not probe the wound. Another one of the party stuck a ram rod through his hand, causing a pain ful but not very seroius wouud. Dr. R. F. Parent has dosed his office here and has rone to Tacoma to take charge of an office. HiS family will remain on the ranch for awhile. Prof. James Buff" is engaged in mov ing a large barn for Mr. Tolliver. They ex ect to move it about three quarters of a mile. Mr. Buff has had 26 years' experience in moving build ings and will probably got the barn moved in good shape. The upper Molalla, river for miles and miles shows strong evidonce that tiiere has been giant powder used in killing fish. The least possible fine that can be imposed is $200. Now, unless this is stopped, someone is go ing to get caught and who ever it way be will have a fine and a good stiff one to pay. There soon will be no trout in the Molalla unless thia blast ing ceases. OSWEGO. The Oswego basohall team was de feated in a game played last Saturday with the Fulton team at the latter's grounds. The score was 10 to 11. Next ..Sunday .the Osewgo team will play at Canby. Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Evans, of this place, are camping at Chautauqua. 2 2 Many Oswego people attended the Fair this week. John Bioner is erecting a now house near his store, "which will be quite an addition to the appearance of the town. Mrs. Agnes E. Cox was visiting in Portland this week. AGENCY PLAINS. The weather still continues dry and hoi. The cropsjire looking well, but are needing'rain at present. Mr. Ramsey is bnsy hauling water from the Deschutes river to fill his new oistern. John Gard's daughter, Ruby, while playing, ran into thi wire fence and cut her face quite badly, but not ser iously. Misses Addie and May Jackson and Billy Hannen, of this place, attended the celebration at Prineville the Fourth. Several on the plains celebrated the Fourth on the Deschutes river. The party consisted of Mr. and Mr Jessie Mayfield, Mr. Hill and family, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kirk, Miss Myrtle Gard and Messrs. Burney and Chester I I 1 Furniture, Carpets Matting 1 1.

Call and be convinced w, We baked some pies and several loaves - ot bread, Put on our ragged clothes and hats on our head, And to the Deschutes river to spend the 4th of July ; Our intentions were to get a great many fish to fry, To go with our loaves of bread and orange and lemon pie, But alas I the roads were so rooky and rough, When we got there the pies were naught but crust. We got into camp at half past two, Pitohed out our grub-boxeb, which were but few, And the next thing in line Was to catch the fish we heard were so fine. The boys set out with smiles bright, And hearts very light, To catoh the fish which were to grat ify our appetite. The camp fire was ready, the frying panB nigh, And on the table were the loaves of bread and crusts of nie, But sad to relate, The flbh met not their intended fate. Next day with clothing sadly soiled, We hitched up our horses ana up the long hill toiled. When we'got to oar"destination Our friends all asked of our celebra tion. But do not believe all the stories yon hear, For we are sure the fish went cele brating, too, this year. GO EAST . . .
