Present Annual Report ' t
Taxpayers of Ore
gon City.
The attendance wan light Monday
night at ihe annual sohoul meeting,
which was held in the county court
room. Although 188 people mani
fested interest enough in the schools
to go to the polls and vote for a di
rector Modnay afternonn, not one
tenth of that number were present to
hear the report of the board of direct
ors on the condition of the schools,
and to hear what had been done dur
ing the past year and what was con
templated. The board of directors,
Thomas F. Ryan, Geo. A. Harding,
Charles H. Can Held, Charles Albright
and W. E. dull, submitted the fol
lowing report :
with the wishes of the taxpayers as
expressed at said meeting, that an in
crease in the amount paid the teach
ers for their services shall be made
when oontracts are entered into for
the next school year. The amount of
such increase has not M yet been de
termined, but will be within the very
near future.
We are pleased to report that the
1 TFuatlinni nnhnnl hnilrlinoia in Vflrv
good condition, and will need hut
little repairs during the oomine Tear.
In the Barolay building, it will lie
necessary to make a number nf
changes, such as putting in a back
stairway, Rnd also renewing the pres
ent front stairway, and the building
requires re-shingling and painting It
will be necessary to renew the fur
naces. We are unable to report the
oost of these repairs at this time, as
our estimates are not complete.
The increase ot the sohool popula
tion of the district is very small, the
enumeration being 1247 as against
1248 last year.
Very truly yo ts,
THOS F RYAN,
GEO. A. HARDING.

Opening the schools as usual in
September last, we found thai the at
tendance was even larger than the
previous year, but we ware able to
proceed withont auy extra teaohers;
towards tha close of the year, throngn
the removal from the city of many
children, and the fact that very many
others were prevented from attend
ance by reason of measles, the average
attendance was much reduced.
At the annual meeting of the di
tirct, held for the purpose of levying
a tax for the ensuing year, the mat
ter of an advance in wages of teach
ers, which had been presented tD the
Board, was taken up and discuhsed by
the taxpayers in attendance, with the
result that a resolution was passed
rAnnmmnndino that the Board inorease
the salary schedule ot the teaohers; as berry,
contraots had been amy ana legauy
entered into between the district and
the teachers for the school year just

An enterprise 'hai will mean much
to Oregon City and Clackamas county
was placed in operation Monday
morning when the Oreuon City Plan
ing Mill Company started its new
mill, which hai just bni n constructed
on the site of the old Broughton saw
mill. Work was romnieuced about
two months ago and was poshed with
amnziug rapidity. 1 he new concern
is the outgrowth of the baker mill,
which was situated between Eleventh
and Twelfth street,'- F. S. Baker op
erated this mill for several years and
then sold the mi' f o the Knppen
bender Bros., who biilt a new mill
across the street from the Baker loca
tion. Several months ago a uw oom
pany was formed, and a number of
leading business men of the city lock
sto k. John A. Moehnke, W. A.
Huntley, Join. Adams and others are
interested in the " uv concern along
with the Euppenl 'em, and negotia
tions were entere .'to to build a plan
ing mill, sawmill and dry kiln at Wil
lamette, where inducements were
offered in the wav of ground, light
and power. A deal had almost been
consummated, when the company de
cided to secure the niorefadvautageous
site of the old Broughton sawmill.
Contracts were made with six saw
mills in the county for their entire
product and work was couimenoed
vigorously. ,
The plauing mill and nry Klin are
of the latest improved design, and the
mill has a oapaoiry of about 10 000
per month. The enterprise will pro
vide employment tor nnt less tlmn 150
men, as in addition to the force of
between 40 and 50 men in this city,
the sawmills in the county will fur
nish labor for 120 men, mill men, log
gers and teamsters. The surplus pro
dnot that ih supplied by the sawmills
will be sold in the rough. The plan
ing mill is equipped with steam, and
develops 125 horse power.
he wante3d to learn an expression
from the several companies as to the
proper use oi the money.
For several years past it has been
oustomary to hold annual banquets,
and this was proposed, but some dele
gate immediately suggested a pionio,
and the proposition was fetching.

Degenerate Sentenced to Stale's Prison
By Judge McBride.
Fifty years in the stato peinteutiary
is the fate of Ira Hughes, who was
convicted Thursday of tho crime of
inoest. The second tria'. resulted in
speedy conviction of the accused, af
ter a disagreement by the jury in the
first trial of the case.
Hughes made an address to the
oourt, asking for leniency, and stated
that his wife and daughters had
formed a conspifkoy to become rid of
him, but Judge McBride said that he
could find no room for lenieuoy, tak
ing into consideration the testimony
and circumstances connected with the
oase.
Hughes is about 40 years ot age, and
is afflicted with tuberoulosls, and the
sentence means lite imprisonment for
him. The maximum penaty is life,
and the minimum ia 20 years' impris
onment. Husrhes was a resident of
this city with his family op to a few '
months ago, when he moved to Van- j
oonver, Wash. i
Son of T. J. Thomas, of New Era, Re
ceives Serious Injuries.
The 14-year-old son of T."J. Thomas
of New Era, was seri 'usly injured in
a runaway accident in this city early
Thur day afternoon. Mr. Thomas and
his son started to drive up Main street
from the woolen mills, with a large
HinokeBtnck in the wagon, when the
horses became frightened and tore
down tho street. The father grasped
his bov, but both fell from the wagon
and the wheels ran over the lad,
breaking his leg in two places. The
team then raced madly up the Btroeo,
the wagon careening wildly from Bide
to sido, and when opposite the puflt-
offlce, David Williams rushed out,
and, aftr a frantic chase, succeeded
in getting hold of the reins aud stop
ping the infuriated animals in front
of Huntley's. The bisr smokestack
fell into the street Hnd this, only
served to frighten the horses still
rmore. No sooner were the animals
bronght to a slop, then they again
started.to run, but were stopped. The
boy was taken care of by a physician
and was suit to a Portland hospital
to receive treatment for his injuries. !
All Residents Will Be Re
quested to Dispose of
Accumulation of
Rubbish.
Mayor E. G Can field will in a few
days issue a proclamation naming a
"cleanlng-up" day for Oregon City.
The time will probably be next week,
and every effort will be made by the
oity authorities to porBuade the resi
dents and business men to remove all
rubbish and unsightlylsubstanoes from
around their premises. Oregon City
has great natural and soenic beauty
that has boon marred by carelessness
and the absence of a place to dispose
of the constant accumulation of rub
bish, but the council recently rented
an old gravel-pit on the Albright pas
ture for a garbgae dump, and now
there is no excuse for dirty yards aud
back alleys.
The oounoil Tuesday night author
ized the foreclosure of all loins
against property for coi strnotion of
sidewalks, sowers, streets, eto , and
the matter will be pushed with vigor
under the provisions of the charter,
whiuh provides for the sale of the
property. When this is doue and the
deed placed on record, there will be a
cloud against the title that can only
be removed by payment of the lein.
The Fifth street improvement ordi
nance was passed, as was tho ordi
nance establishing the grade of Wash
intgon street, and the ordinance pro
viding that all houses m the city be
numbered, preliminary to the estab
lishmnnt of a free postal doliverr,
The francMses granjked to O. D.
Latnurette for a railway line, and to
T.' '.' Kynn for elevators to the top of
the bluff were ordered revoked To.es
night, as the provisions have not been
complied with. .
