VEGETABLES
COMING IN
During the Week California
Vegetables and Fruit
Arrive Here.
The few days of rain of last week
was very beneficial to the farmers
and ganlners throughout the whole
county, and the vegetation has taken
on an extra growth during the past
few days.
The farmers are jubilant over the
prospocts of their crops, and say that
If no more late frosts occur the crop
throughout the county will be the
largest for years.
The heavy frosts of last week )ii
some section of the county hurt some
of the. early fruit, but the cherry crop
will be large, also the strawberry
crop. Never before was there a bet
ter prospect for a large fruit yield.
Many of the farmers of Clackamas
County are now planting their corn.
Early potatoes are' large enough to
cultivate and are tn excellent condi
tion. Fall rye is heading, and the early
sown winter wheat Is in fine condi
tion and is in the first joint. The
spring grain that has been sown Is
growing rapidly, and there is every
prospect for a gxd crop of hay as
the meadows are looking fine.
During the past week the local mer
chants have depended mostly on Cal
il'ornia vegetables, but say by next
week the gardeners and farmers of
tho county will bring in enough vege
tables to supply the local markets.
The price of cheat hay has gone
from $11 to $14 during the week and
also grain hay from $iCi.lO to $12 and
$15.
Cattle remain scraco and firm In
prices as usual for good, fat quality

OSWEGO CASE SATURDAY.
Opponents of Incorporation Will Raise
Question of Constitutionality.
Whether or not the state legislature
has the power to delegate authority
to municipalities to incorporate is a
question that will be raised Saturday
when the county court will hold a
special session for (the purpose of
hearing argument upon the petition
filed two months ago by a majority of
the citizens of Oswego asking for the
Incorporation of that town under the
legislative enactment of 1893. The
county court may, under the terms of
this act, set a date and call an election
of the people of the boundaries affect
ed by the petition, for a vote on the
question as to whether they desire to
incorporate. -
The Oregon Iron & Steel Companys'
holdings in Oswego amount to many
thousand of dollars and this company
Is opposed to the movement. Their
attorneys will raise a point as to the
constitutionality of the law. The
question Is largely whether the legis
lature could delegate its power to In-
Friday night an attempt was made
to enter the house of Mrs. Woodfin,
whose son, Abby Woodfin, came home
about 11:30 o'clock and was followed
by a strange man. The boy says that
the same man called at the house and
wanted to sell soap and a few minutes
later returned and asked for some
pins. He was evidently trying to se
cure some information about the
place and was seen talking to Mrs.
Woodfin's little girls during the day.
Young Woodfin says he left the rear
doors and windows unlocked and saw
the tramp pass around the back of
the house, but the man was evidently
bluffed by the sight of a gun standing
In the corner and endeavored to eqect
an entrance by the front door, but
his keys would not work as the door
was bolted on the inside. About 3
o'clock Saturday morning the Wood-
fins aroused one of their neighbors
but a search failed to reveal the
whereabouts of the tramp.
Another attempt was made Satur
day night by unknown men to enter
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Woodfin, at
Eleventh and J. Q. Adams streets,
hole was cut In the front door but
the robbers fulled to effect an en
trance and the police force was called
to the scene, but the supposed burg
lars had departed. Mr. Woodfin and
his oldest son are working In the
mills at night. People of that locality
are preparing to give midnight prowl
ers a warm reception.
DAIRY EXPERT IS COMING.
E. H. Webster, Chief of Government
Division, to Visit Oregon.
Last December, E. H. Webster
Chief of the Dairy Division of the
Department of Agriculture, visited
Oregon. At that time he assured
State Food and Dairy Commissioner
I. W. Bailey that he would visit the
Beaver State again in the month of
June. He said he was particularly
Impressed with the state and its pos
sibilities as a dairying community and
lie hoped to be able during the sum
mer to pay this section another visit.
Mr. Bailey yesterday in a letter re
minded Mr. Webster of his promise
and especially urged him to give the
dairymen of this state the benefit of
a visit from him next month as he
had promised.
It is the belief of Oregon's Dairy
Commissioner that a visit from Mr.
Webster would do more towards stim
ulating and promoting the dairy' in
dustry In this state than any othehr
program that could be devised and
he will use his best endeavor to
bring this prominent dairy expert to
the Coast this summer. If Mr. Web
ster finds it convenient to fulfill his
promise, says the Oregonian. Mr.
Bailey will arrange a series of meet
ings to be addressed by the head of
the dairy department at the National
Capital.
Good Words for Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
People everywhere take pleasure In
testifying to the good qualities of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Edward Phillips of Barclay, Md.,
writes: "I wish to tell you that I can
ecommend Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. My little girl, Catherine,
who is two years old, has been taking
this remedy whenever she has a cold
since she was two months old. About
a month ago I contracted a dreadful
cold myself, but I took Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and was soon as well
as ever." This remedy is for sale by
Huntley Bros. Co., Oregon City and
Molalla.

The Building of a Drug Business
Square Dealing.
Why is it that this store deserves and wins your preference ?
Here is the answer in a nutshell.
Because we give you a square deal In everything you buy because
we look at Drug Store keeping from your standpoint. You find that out
every time you trade here.
We believe in doing things a little bit better than ordinary, and it Is
by doing things a little bit better than ordinary that our business building
is accomplished.
There's a difference between the ordinary and better-than-ordinary
store, just as there is a difference between the "cheap" drug store and
the " fair priced " drug store. The " cneap store or me orainary store is
a dangerous store to patronize, especially if it is a drug store. Your doctor
knows that, and your doctor also knows that this store is a lit better than
the ordinary drugstore M it is reliable that we will sell only drugs
and medicines that are pure and fresh, and at the same time we sell every- j
thing at a fair price. '

He says common laborers In Alaska
receive $3 per day and board, while
higher wages are paid to skilled men,
some carpenters receiving $7 and $8
per day. Potatoes sell for $4.50 per
100 pounds, and the price of apples
is the same. Refrigerator chickens
sell for 30 cents per pound and beef
brings 25 cents. Two-room cabins
rent for $18 fo $20 per month.
"For carrying the mall from Valdez
to Fairbanks, a distance of 500 miles,
the contractor receives $04,000 for
eight months' work. This may appear
enormously high, but when one is ac
quainted with the service that is re
quired the compensation seems only
within reason. The contract covers
eight months of the year from Octo
ber to May, Inclusive, the mall being
delivered the other four months of
the year via St. Michaels and up the
Yukon River. The rates for passen
gers over the stage route during the
eight months of the year Is $150 per
