OREGON CITY, - OREGON OPERATIVES LOSE STRIKE All But 17 Employes of Mill Resume Work. WEAVERS DID NOT AGREE Wages Will Be Based on .Scale Paid By Six Mills' on the Coast, and This is Low. The strike in the woolen mills of the Oregon City Manufacturing Oo. ended Monday night and the wills wore running in every department Tuesday morning. The backbone of the strike was broken because the employes could not agree ou concerted action. Three loom fixers went back to work Monday morning on looms. They are capable of toaohiug greeu hands to weave on flannel and blankets and this fact caused uneasiness among the Btrikers, many of whom were dissat isfied with the action of the main body of strikers iu rejecting the com promise offered by the Oregou City Manufacturing Company. There are people living in Oregon City who have to work in the woolen mills to earn a living, and these people could not afford to take the chance of hav ing their positions lost to them. The scale to be paid in the weave room has not yet been adjusted, but will probably be based ou the average wages paid in six Facifio Coast milis. Both the Santa Rosa and San Jose mills pay 14 cents per yard, and em ploy Chinese labor, and the average of these mills will bring the scale down to the place where the reduc tion ' was made, that is, 2 cents per yard on two looms. Seventeen of the strikerj will not go back Jto work. Some of the men have found employment on the paper mill "construction across the river, some have gone to Seattle, others to California and many of the . women have gone to the hop fields. Orders have . gone forth from the office of the company that no more men "are to be employee in the spin ning and weaving departments Here after only women will be employed there. It is expected that the com pany will soon be able to replace all of the employes who did not return to the mill, which wifl be running full time in a few dayB. it is stated by people who keep an eye on the wool market that tlfj strike would have .worked no hardship ou the business of the Oregon City Man ufacturing Company, that there is no demand in the market for oassimeres, and that the company has overstocked with these goods. It is said to be a fair indication that business is not all it should be whenever a firm adopts the polioy of putting one workman on two machines, and this is exactly whatjhas been done here. Suoh a move naturally decreases the output of the mill. One weaver on two looms can not "turn out the work that two weav ers can on the same number of ma chines. When anything goes wrong with one machine, both necessarily have to shut down. In fact, the Ore gon City woolen mills, so the story goes, would have suffered no incon venience if their mill had shut down for several weeks or even mouths. BOUNDARY DISPUTE SETTLED. Estacada People Call in Surveyor to Adjust Differences. , Dispute between William Stubhe and wife, and D. J'. Warner, of Esta cada, over the boundary lines between their respective farms has Deen amic ably aduB ed by Ernest P. Hands, who has returned from Estacada, where he surveyed the property and found tho lines and corners. Tho two families have had a great deal of trouble over the matter, and the result was that Mrs. Stubbe had Warner arrostod sev eral months ago, on a charge of as sault and battery but Warner was acquitted after a bitter trial in the justice court hero. Stubbo built a fence on his land and Warner connected up to it, and here the dispute arose. JStubbe threw down tho fence and as fast af Warner could rebuild it, it was thrown down. While the two families are far from being friends,-the boundary quostion has been settled to their mutual satis faction. Mrs. Stubbe will bring suit against Warner for damages ou ac count of alleged injuries sustained in their altercation. The sceno of the affair is about one-half mile from Es tacada. Mr. Cross Raises Tall Cera. Remarkably large stalks of corn were taken by County Jurtgo Ryan Friday to Portland, where they wero placed on exhibition with Clackamas county's prodncts at the Exposition. The com is of the yellow dent field variety, is nearly 10 feet in heighth, and was raised by F. H. Cross at Green Point, within the limits of Ore gon City. Peaches and cucumbers from Dr. Ferguson, of New Era, and pears and petite pronoa from H. O. Kanne, of Cauby,.were also taken to Portland. VALUATIONS ARE RAISED Assessment of Property In creased By $175,000. P. G. E. CO. IS HIT HARD Board of Equalization Adds $40,000 to Assessed Value of Corporation Holdings. Pointing with pride to the fact that the assessed valuation of Clacnainas county proporty is $175,000 in exooss of last year, tho county board of equalization adjourned sine die Satur day afternoon, but not before thoy had taken action upon the potitiou of the Board of Trade asking that corporation values be increased and reciting special instances. While valuations of indi vidual holdings were decreasod by $10,000 increases in corporation assess ment foot up close to $40,000. Of this amount the Portland General Eleotric Company shares about $30,000, and the balance is divided iu small amounts between other corporations. An attempt J was ' made to increase the valuation of the roadbed of the Oregon & California Railroad Com pany, and also of the Oregon Wator Power & Railway Company, but these companies were not disturbed, ou the showing that their valuation per mile had been increased $1000 by County Assessor Nelson, whose figures were generally sustained. Application of E. S. Collins for the reduoiiou of the assessment on 11,500 acres of timber laud to $1.25 an acre was denied. Collins is assessed at from $11.40 to $3 an acre oil this prop erty, and this valuation is considered reasonable. MARRIED BUT NOT A WIFE. L, M. Hawley Married a Woman Who Had Not Been Divorced Six Months. Curious allegations are made in a divorce oomplaint that was filed in the circuit oourt by L. M. Hawluy, who seeks for a decree of divorce from Blanche Hawley, who last April was the wife of Lew Wright. She pro cured a divorce from Wright in Uma tilla county July 18, 1905, and Hawley states that he was not aware of the faot that less than six months had elapsed since the date of her divoroe from Wright, as he had been informed and believed that the present Mrs. Hawley had a lawful right to re marry. Accordingly he made a swift courtship and went through the form of marriagewith the defendant, but as soon as he ascertained that the said marriage was void, he ceased to sus tain marriage relations with his wife and commenced a suit for legal sepa ration. Attorney J. N. Poaroy, of Portland represents the plaintiff in the action. Socialists Against Fusion. Socialists of tho county held a moot ing Sunday afternoon in Knapp's hall, with a fair attendance. A debate was held on "The Difference Between Revolution and Evolution," and mu Bio was furnished by Secretary How ard's phonograph. The aotion of the national ' organization in expelling Victor Bergen for ins advocaoy of ru- Bion, was confirmed. Barn Burned at Central Point. Vafuable barn belonging to Thomas Blanchard, who lives uoar New Era, at Central Point, was burned to the ground Friday, the fire starting from a spark from a threshing engine. Mr. Blanohard's residenoe was saved only through the heroio efforts of the threshing crew, and the wator wagon was converted into an omergeuey lire department. The fire that threatened Gladsrone has been subdued and no further danger is anticipated from the slashing firos in that section.

EXPOSITION SOON CEASES Gates Shut n Centennial October 1 5. FAIR NOW m ITS PRIME Stock and Poultry Shows Ae Late Features and Great Interest is Shown. The program prepared for the dos ing weeks of thoExposition provides for 'more attractive features than have- characterized any period since the opening. Perhaps the most import ant of those is tho Btock show, whioh will be hold from September JlOtli ;to 2!)th inclusive. For this event there is available nearly $50,000 in prize money, but the attractiveness of the western market is a greater induce ment than the money awards. East ern stockmen have shown a romark abble interest in the show, and there is no question that the exhibition will be the biggest thing of the kind ever hold in the West. The poultry show, under charge, of Elmor Dixon, follows shortly after the stock show ana promises to bo unus ually interesting. The datos ..e from October 5ch to 12th inclusive. The Royal Hawaiian Baj 1, now playing at the Exposition- has made the biggest hit of any musioii organ ization which so far has visited the Fair. Band conoerts, free to all, are given twiue daily from the bandstand on the shore of Guild's Lake. The Hawaiian Baud will be followed by Ellery's B ud, whioh will play until the olose of the Exposition, October 16th. " . The Expositionjis now in its priice, and late visitorrs will find everything in the best ot condition. The Trail, the amusement street, is better now than at any time during the Fair, the few shows of doubtful merit whioh operated during the early weeks have been dispeused with, so that every thing to be seen there is first-class and worth the money ohargod. ' v Tho attendance at the Exposition, which has been good from the first, owing to a large extent to patronage from east of the mountains, has in creased steadily , and the mcroase is expected to continue right rip to the olosing day, as the end of the harvest season will permit farmers who have been too busy to got away earlier to pay a visit to the biggest fair ever held in the Paoiflo Northwest.
