Wouldn't it be a good scheme to list your real estate

all other agents in Oregon City combined can make
a showing equal to the above? Then get your prop

After being held np for nearly a
mouth the way to the establishment
of a oommeroial apple orchard in
Clackamas County lias been opened
and Oounty Fruit Inspector A. J.
Lewis has just received the informa
tion that trees are being slapped for
the three ten-acre tracts in this
county. The work of planting, cul
tivating and caring for the orchards
for ten years will be undertaken by
the ttate under the direotion of Pro
fessor Lewis of the State Agricultural
College and his oo-It borers in the
horticultural work of this state. The
first tract selected on which to plant
an orchard was that of Thomas F.
Kyan on the Rinearson place at Glad
stone. Eighteen varieties wore sent
to Judge Kyan who declined to have
his place used as an experimental
orchard and insisted that there be not
more than two or three varieties of
oommeroial value.
Inspoctor Lewis said Monday morn
ing that the Kyan tract will be plant
ed immediately with Graveustein,
Spitzonbera, Baldwin and Wagner
apples, in February the W. H.
Holder traot at Garfield will be
planted in Spitzonbergs and Wagners
and the H. A Kavler tract at Molalla
wilt be planted with Spitsseubergs and
Baldwins.

""ni. So oouta
Dear Friend Kobert :
1 saw in the Courier of last weok
that you was quite surprised about the
so called ill-temper oi Captain O. O.
Branson, and that he was snappish as
you called him. I just wish to ask
you whethT or not you have ever met
face to face with him? And if you
have, will you be lione t and toll me
if you have ever met with a more
pleasant and well meaning man than
he is" You may think that his notes
seemed snappish. Naturally, it
would seem that way o vou when
you have a hatred 1 tried in your
neart agmnst him. lu that case the
iearest letter .would seem snappish to
tou. He certainly did not have the
t mi tc debate on bucIi a hellish
institute as tne dance, while 'n that
time he could win ten souls for
Christ by preaching the gospel. He
is here lo preach the gospel, give
lectures, and w.un people from sin,
und u t waste his time on dehuting
with sueli a man as Jyou Yes a cow
ard. Would not come out to the meet
ings tor fear it would get ro hot for
vou. Why didn't you come out to
hear his lectures'' He always gave a
chance to speak after each service.
There would beeu your chance to ex
change your mind with Captain, but
instead of that, you stayed at home
and send a little open note, didn't
even think it worthy to enclose it
in an envelope, or eithor youdid not
have any. The right way would have
been for you to come out night after
night, or as often atime would allow,
and listen to his lectures, thou if you
found anything false about him take
him up. on it. The meetings lasted
7 weeks, 4 weeks at Highland and 8
weeks at Clarkes, but we failed to
see you out once, uaptain was on
his pose ivery evening with a orowded
house, but you barked behind the
bush, Jaud now that Captain Branson
is gone von are shouting, nut an
empty can always rattles the loudest.
lou state in your letter that there are
ndividuals who are not anxious to
swallow every pill prepared by Doo
tors of Diviuity. It would not hurt
them a particle to swallow the pills
prepared bj Uootors oi Divinity, for
they have saved many a soul from
hell, but pity them who swallow the
pills prepared by infidelity, for they
mean everlasting hell, where there
is weepnig and gnashing cf teeth.
You. once upon a time have pro
fessed Christianity, but you 'have haok
slidden, and it came true what is
stated in the' Bible, "When a nran
was orce a Christian and falls back
into sin again, the demon will return
n his heart and bring seven ot.ier
demons with him t int are worse than
himself." I want you to take notice
that when a man gets struck by the
truth and he is guilty he will shout
every time. Friend, you state that
poverty brings no less ihan 15 per
cent, of prostitutes something that
none! believe but yourself. You,
us a general rule, will find the poorest
people tne most nouest ana respectable
and the greater part of them, yen
will find are Christian, more so tuan
among the rich. My honest opinion
is when you spoke of poverty yon
meant to wring in your Socialist
politics. You said in your letter that
yon wanted to debate with Captain
Branson. Think you for a raome it
that Captain has lectured for 22 long
years and does not yet know what lie
is talking about? He knows more
about the dance hall and the ball-room
than you do; he has lived the life of
sin and darkness long enough to know
what happens in and about them. He
was on the stage preaohing infidelity,
and has been in everything mean and
contemptible that this world can
think of. Then when the Lord opened
his eys and he awoke np out of his
sinful life he saw that he was a lost
man in his state. He gave his heart
to God ; yeB not his heart alo le. but
his whole body and every minute of
the rest of his life, and now he is try
ing to rescue lost, blind souls that are
going the same way he did. and show
ing them the right road to Heaven.
But what are you doing my friend?
You are trying to tear down what
Captain built up by the grace of God,
not by himself. You are upholding
the Hellish dance hail and the
room and what not, showing the
right road to hell, yes to everlasting
damnation. Boor blind body. The
devil is using ' you as one of his
agents, and he knows how to handle
you in prpper shape. But mark yoa,
when he gets through with you there
will not be euon h left to make hash
out of. If yon just knew what people
thought of your lettor you put in the
paper you would hide your faoe. They
all say ''Kobert Ginther exposed some
more of his ignorance." Yon didn't
' urt anyone but yourself. Captain is
known all over the United States
from Maine to Mexioo, and you can't
hurt him a particle by putting a tew
simple notes in the papers. Lvery
oussing you give him will send him
that much nearer to Heaven and you
that much nearer to , so be careful
my friend, Gog is not mocked. The
Lord says iu his word that "Whatso
ever a man sowoth that shall he also
reap," and what are you sowing?
Stop juHt a moment with me and
think. The card table is your family
worship: the dance, the ball-room.
the saloon, all these things are from
the devil, and them you uphold.
Kemember your children are growing
up and will take to these things, and
you will have to answer for them if
their precious souls land in hell-
Train a child in the ways he should
walk and when he is old he will not
depart from it. Is this the way you
wish for your.childrtn to walk in? If
it is, mark you, as they grow up they
will make this world hot enough for
you, not thinking of the next. Is tiiis
what your dear mother taught you?
If you say "yes" you are telling a
bare faoed lie and one of the blackest
tamp. The writer ot jtjiese lines
knows your mother and knows how
often she falis on her knees weeping
and praying to God that He might
bring her wandering boy back home
again, tsut you are trampling her
heart beneath your feet. A mother
that would give her life for her boy.
You once walked in the ways vour
dear mother taught you, but depart
ed from them : you loved evil rather
than good. Kemember, oh remember,
the day is ooming, yes the great judg
ment day is coming, . in which every
knee shall bow before the Lord. He
uon't fay those that want "to can bow
burore me at that day, no uver; the
Lord saifh "Evory knee shall bow

DEFENDS CAPTAIN BRANSON
Oregon City, R. F. D. No.' 4.
(Editor of the Courier, ) Iu looking
over the Courier ot December 7, 1
noticed an open letter to Captain C,
O. Branson, bvaugelitt, and rinding
mat no one answered In tn last istue
and thinking t at the publio should
know the truth of all, I wish to state
some facts.
in tne urst place i nave no
knowledge of Mr. Ginther's attend
ance at any of the meetings whioh
continued for sovtn woeks, and tor
that reason he cannot be thoroughly
enlightened as to the Captain's
aootrine.
Now that Mr. Branson is gone it
does not look very niuoh in any man's
lavor to speak ill of his truths; most
men would keep their tongues bridled
or wait until they meet, their man
face to face.
During his stay in this vicinity the
Captain lias been heard to sav that on
his leaving there would be some like
a little our; when a stranger was
around would keep well out of sight,
bat as soon as he left would come out
and make t. great noise but never
frightened anyone. And I wish to nv
that it Mr. Ginther had attended the I
meetings lie would have had to
t' swallow a pill" or two, even though
he did not wish to; also wBre peopie
to po as,tne uaptain advocated there
would be a great change for the good
in the public schools or any other
place, even if at a dance there would
be no drunkenness, which is always
to be seen more or less and drunken
ness is branded one of. the greatast
evils of our country. Furthermore
Mr. Ginther denies Captain credit for
some things he did; for one the
Captain did call the attention of
parents to right living and good train
ing of thoir childron.
Lastly, if the meetings had not
drawn the greater portion of the
crowd from the social and dance Mr.
Ginther gave at Highland, he might
have had a better opinion of Captain
Branson.

"23" FOR MRS. PATRICK.
Gets Little Satisfaction From Suit For
AnjAccountin;.
Judge McBride made a ruling Fri
day in the suit of Mrs. Mary Batriok
vs. M. Bodeen which oanie up on
supplemantary proceedings. During
the trial of the suit against Bodeen
the testimony developed that the de
fendant had about $1000 of his own
money and the plaintiff's and that ot
this amount $r75 belonged to Mrs.
Patrick, who obtained a judgment
and through her attorneys. U'Ren &
Sehuebel, sought and obtained an
accounting from Bodeen of the dis
position of the money. The defend
ant showed that he had built, a h
and barn and had done considerable
clearing . He admitted that he had
$23 in his pocket and the court order-
ed him to turn that amount over in
partial satisfaction of the judgment.
Bodeen has transferred his nrnnnrt
to his daughter and Mrs Patiick now
has a suit peudiiiK asking the court tn
declare the deed void and alleges
that the transfer was fraudulent and
made for the sole pnrpose ot evading
the judgment. .
