VIEWS OF MAYOR CARLL,
Council Has An Interesting Session
Wednesday Night.
The City Council had rather a hot
session Wednesday night and Mayor
Carll electrified the members by mak

was not necessary, but he had ciiangeu
"I am now convinced," snld Dr. Carll,
"that tho ofllce of City engineer is
not necessary, and for that reason It
will he abolished for a time. It might
havo been abolished during November

salary of $125 per mouth during that

which abrogated that part oi me con

City and Cainas. It is regarded as un
likely that the buildings or tne imper
ial mills can be used for a paper mm,
and in that, event they will be re
moved to make room for new build
ings. The brick mill will probably not
be used to any extent, out tins prop

needed by the growth of the business
of the company. It is stated tnat tne
two paper machines to ne installed
will be among the largest manufac
tured.
There will he no difilculty In the
new company obtaining sufficient pow
er to operate its plant. It will have
all the power of tho Portland Flour

rlirht. to use enough water to operate
six stones at the Imperial Mill and a
stated number of inclies at tne dhck
mill and as the Portland General Elec-
trle fVimnanv has nlontv of water to

In abundance to push its wneeis.
During the last five years the Im
nnrlal Mills have been operated only
a few months each year by the Port

nf the Willamette Valley wheat has
been carried to Portland and ground
Into (lour at the Portland branch, and
the Oregon City mills have not been a
source of profit to tho company.
Facts of Production Wanted.
Tho corresponding secretary of the
Willamette Valley Development
l.naenn has undertaken the most gi
gantic work of collecting data for the
proper advertising of this section in
the East. He wants 1000 facts of prod
ucts from the growers tnemseives,

dairy products, wool, mohair, or any
product of the soil, and or mis col
lection of 1000 facts, statements made
hv tho iiriulnrprs nf tho elirht counties
of the Willamette Valley, 100,000 cop

ty days. In March the immigration
rates will be put into effect and we
want to break all records and secure
for the eight counties of Western
Oregon Included in the Willamette
Valley at least fifty thousand addi
tional home-seekers In 1908. This
can bo done if we but give the facts
of our products to the world. The
homo-seekers are coming West as
never before, and the eight counties
In the Willamette Valley can make a
showing of products in variety and
richness that will surpass any part of
tho world. Send your contribution
to the secretary, J. K. Shepard, at Sa

wo will forward it to him. This under

BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe Hyomel's Tonic Healing and
Be Cured of Catarrh.
Nature has a remedy for catarrh, a
t rat meat that Is far better than dos
lug tho stomach with niedlcne.
It Is the healing oils and balsams of
llyomel which medicates the air you
breathe, reach the most remote air
jells In the nose, throat and lungs
killing all catarrhal germs, and restor
ing health to the mucous membrane.
In using Hyotuol you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for It gives a cura
tive air both to tho air passages that
has as powerful healing and antiseptic
effect as that found In the mountains
where the pine forests give off their
fragrant and healing balsams.
Breathe the Invigorating and healing
llyomel, and see how quickly you will
get relief from your catarrhal troubles
Huntley Bros. Co. have seen so many
cures, even of the worst cases of ca
tarrh, with offensive breath, raising of
mucous, frequent sneezing, droppings
In the throat and spasmodic coughing,
that they feel warranted in selling
llyomel under an absolute guarantee
to refund the money If It does not do
all that is claimed for it They take
all the risk.

The rain of the past week has been

so it will make the crops much later.
Many of the farmers have finished

Injure it. Many of the farmers are
making good use of the time between
showers, but from the present condi
tion of the weather the prospects are
that they will be able to accomplish
the work that was not done before the
rain set in.
In some sections of the county po
tatoes are being fed to hogs, as the
price of pork has gone up considera
bly, and the farmers think it better
to use the potatoes for feed than to
haul the produce over the muddy
roads to market for the price that is
in it. Pork is bringing a price of 6
rents to 7 cents Der nound.
There has been no change whatever
In the price of eggs, and they are still
bringing a price of 35 cents per dozen
for fresh ranch eggs, and 30 cents for
Eastern eggs. There is a larger de
mand for the ranch eggs at a higher
nripn than fnr the Eastern enes at a
lower price, and the ranch eggs that

The Clackamas County Rural Car
riers' Association held a meeting Sat
urday evening In the Band Hall and
listened to an account of the National
Rural Carriers' Convention at Atlanta,
Ga., by State President K. P. Loop.
State Secretary Going and Franz Krax

the meeting. Resolutions favoring
good roads were unanimously adopted.
Parcels Posts were discussed and the
sentiment of the local carriers is
about evenly divided for and against
this proposition. The meeting was
very Interesting and eight carriers

Trulllnger Is Exonerated.
OREGON CITY, Or., Jan. 4. (To
the Editor.) In a recent issue of your
paper you published an item headed,
"Macksburg School Has Trouble." I
do not wish to take exception to the
item, but as a matter of justice to
myself I would ask that you give as
much prominence to the folowing sign
ed statement. As the item stated,
what trouble there was was In the
following way: I contracted to teach
only the first eight grades. Upon
learning that I was expected to teach
the ninth grade, I immediately noti
fied the board of my intention to re
sign, but the directors would not ac
cept my resignation. After refusing to
teach the ninth grade, when school
had started, the four last-named gen
tlemen signing this statement entered
protest, as was their right.
The statement is as follows:
"Macksburg, Or., Nov. 26, 1907.
Thia is to certify that this exonerates
R. H. Trulllnger from all blame In
any trouble whatever since the begin
ning of the present term of school in
the Macksburg school district, No. 20
(Clackamas County, Oregon).

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Inflamed conditon of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when it 1b entirely closed, Deafness
Is the result, and unless the Inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube
restorod to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing nut an in
flamed conditon of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars

MIX AT THE FIRST SIGN
Says Home-Made Mixture Is Easily
Prepared, and Cures Weak Kid
neys and Bladder.
Here Is a simple home-made mix
ture as given by an eminent authority
on Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement In a New York dally news
paper that it will relieve almost any
case of Kidney trouble If taken be
fore the stage of Brlght's disease. He
states that such symptoms as lame
back, pain in the side, frequent desire
to urinate, especially at night; pain
ful and discolored urination, are read
ily overcome. Here is the recipe;
try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla, three
ounces. Take a teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here in town
Is authority that these ingredients
are all harmless and easily mixed at
home by shaking well in a bottle. This
mixture has a peculiar healing and
soothing effect upon the entire Kid
ney and Urinary structure, and often
overcomes the worst forms of Rheu
matism in just a little while. This
mixture is said to remove all blood
disorders and cure the Rheumatism
by forcing the Kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood and system all
uric acid and foul, decomposed waste
matter, which cause these afflictions.
Try it if you aren't well. Save the
prescription.

PICKING FRUfT.
It Should Not Be Allovod to Got To
Ripe on tho Trea. .--
W.'iny gp: wi'-.-.i do u t know the prop
er time to r'c'; fruit that is, the stage
of muiuiity that puts It on the ina.ket
In goid 'im.ll-.lon.- Very often one
sees fine large pears and peaches that
lire rottir;; when the packages are
opened Ucu :.;e the fir.:t h:is been al
lowed to get too ripe on the tree be
fore picking.
Sometimes wbeu the early market is
slark there is a deiniiud for Immature
fruit for cooking purposes.
The Early Applee.
The first early summer npplen niny
be profitably picked when tliey get
big enough for cooking. This will
be when the reeds nro still white
and before the fruit shows signs
of coloring. The market is always
looking forward to the earliest apples.
Dessert and winter apples should not
be picked until well colored. Those
that stay on the tree late tire bejr
flavored than those picked early. Win
ter apples will usually keep !:?iler if
allowed to ripen in the 'vw weather
of the fall. The ease wllh which some
fruit separates from the hvltf by n nip
sldewlse gives a good Id of maturity.
Apples should not he rr. arated from
the twig, by a straight pull, but by a
twist upward or sldewlse.
Peaches For Market.
Peaches are picked for market wheu
they show the clear, bright colors.
They should not be pinched to test
maturity. The experienced picker has
a way of rolling the flat of his huiid
over tho ridge of a peach, and the feel
means the same to hhu as grain in the
sack does to the miller's hund-W. N.

CHICKEN COOP.
It li Built to Stand Level, Facing
Downhill.
I have adopted the plan of substitut
ing a large roosting coop for each thir
ty or forty chicks as soou as they are
large enough to roost. This Is made
from a dry goods box four feet long,
three feet wide and three feet high.
The front aud bottom nre removed.
Two strips are nailed perpendicular on
the front corner, projertins n foot be
low the bottom of tho box. This raises
the front and gives the roof the neces
sary pitch when facing a downhill po-
HILLSIDE CHICKEN COOP,
Itlon, explains a writer in American
Agriculturist. Two strips nailed on
each side form a support for perches
which are fastened together by cross
pieces so all aiuy be removed at one
operation to be sprayed.
We move this coop twice a week,
and It Is always clean and fresh. The
open front and bottom seem a little
risky, considering the possibility of
wandering cats, rats or weasels. But
we are willing to run some risks it
we can fill our own and customers'
pens In the fall with large, robust
stock. This one plan has enabled us
to produce Orpingtons well up to stand
ard size, which some fail to do. The
accompanying sketch of coop will ex
plain Itself.
The Pot's Reply.
Onoa I saw a vessel rare,
All Inlaid,
And commenced to wonder where
It was made.
"Whence came you," I asked, "old
chap
From Cathay f
Or from Timbuktu, mayhap,
Far away?
"Did some skillful south sea chief,
Blaok and queer,
Bant you out upon his reef
With a spear?"
Then occurred a thing, I wot,
Moat unique.
For I aaw that ancient pot
Wlahed to apeak.
Quoth the pot, "It may.-niy son,
Seem odd, but
I Was made in Bridgeport Con-
MeoUsut"

ON THE FARM.
HOW NATURE PROVIDES FOR US.
The most Independent man on earth Is
the farmer, for he makes the earth yield
him almost everything needed for life.
He knows that as he sows so will he
reap. He usually keeps strong and
healthy from constant strife with Nature
In sunshine and in pure air. At night
when work is done, he finds most rsfresh
lng sleep, such as only a tired man
knows. In the same way that the earth
yields food for man, so does It provide
remedies for human ills. Thousands of
households throughout the farming dis
tricts of the United States know the,
value of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dls-
tovery It Is Nature's most valuable and
health-giving agent-made without tht
use of alcohol. It contains native medl
cinal roots, and is the concentration of
Nature's vitality as found in tl 9 Ameri
can forests. This remedy has a history
which speaks well for It became It was
given to the public by Dr. R. T. Pierce,
founder of the Invalids' Hotel and Surg
ical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., nearly
forty years ago, and has since been sold
by druggists in ever increasing quan
tities. Dr. Pierce found that the bark ol
the Black Cherry-tree, the root of the
Mandrake, Stone root. Queen's root,
Bloodroot and Golden Seal root, mada
Into a scientific, non-alcoholic extract by
the use of glycerine, made the hast altera
tive and tonic. The refreshing Influence
of this extract is at once apparant In the
recovered strength of the patient tha
vital fires of the body burn brlghtor and
their increased activity consumes the
tissue rubbish which otherwise may
poison the system. This alterative and
tonic extract has been found to stand
alone as a safe, invigorating tonic, as It
does not depend on alcohol for a false
stimulation, but is Nature's own method
of strengthening and cleansing ths sys
tem. It tones up the stomach and purifies
the blood in Nature's own way. It Is well
known all over the world as Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. The name
was given to this vegetable compound
because one of the important ingredients
was Golden Seal root. Such an
authority as Dr. Roberts Bartholow. of
Jefferson Medical College, says of Golden
Seal root, "very useful as a stomachic
tonic. Cures catarrh of the stomach and
headaches accompanying the samo." Dr.
Grover Coo, in his book Organic Medl
clnes, speaking of Golden Seal root, says
that "as a liver invlgorator It has em
equals." Further he says, "In chronic in
flammation of the bladder we deem it one
of the most reliable agents of cure. As a
tonic In the convalescing stages of fevers,
Sneumonla, dysentery and other acute
iseascs Hydrastis ((ioldon Seal root) is
peculiarly appropriate."
Dr. Coe continues: "We would here
add that our experience has demon
started the Hydrastis or Golden Seal root
to be a valuable remedv In bronchitis,
laryngitis, and other affections of the
respiratory organs."
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, M. D., University
of Pennsylvania, says of Golden Seal :
"Of service in chronic catarrh of the
stomach and bowels following abuse of
alcohol, a tonic after malarial fever.
Has a distinct, anti-malarial influence.
Good in all catarrhal conditions, as
uterine catarrh, leucorrhea, etc. Is a
curative agent in chronic dyspepsia."
Prof. John M. Scudder in Specific Med
ication says of Golden Seal : "It stimu
lates thedigestlve processes, and Increases
the assimilation of food. By these meant
the blood is enriched, and this blood feeds
the muscular system. I mention the
muscular system because I believe it
first feels the increased power imparted
by the stimulation of Increased nutri
tion. The consequent Improvement on
the nervous and glandular systems are
natural results.
"In relation to Its general effects on
the system, there Is no ?nctiici?ie in ust
about which there is such general unan
imity of opinion. It is universally re
garded as the tonic useful In all de
Ellltlated states."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription spe

peculiar to women Is also a temperance
remedy inat is oest, Known oy lis cures.
