OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17 im NEWS OF THE ' COUNTY Logan. Everything in Logan. Is prospering. Hard times do not hurt us much. There was a great turn-out at, the Grange meeting last Saturday, and by far the best meeting of the year was held. One cold-blooded brute of a mill man, we know of, recently pulled a fine mare blind and now has the gall to work her in the brush and logs, be , side driving her on his carriage. This " (a a case for the humane society. ,' Mr. Diamond's mill Is to start up soon. Mr. Bonney has practically re tired from the business. Mr. Diamond has leased the mill, and will carry on the business independently of the old management. Mr. Bonney started out In business in a small way. His mot to was, "Be honest and pay as you go." He made money from the start. "Lucky Bill" he was called. Perhaps the se cret of his success is the way he ar- tho Ann rifitAllH nf his business. tt ...111. tkn Hmhavmant buying his logs on a cash basis, thus not onlv securine his timber cheap, but also insuring a good profit to the logger. Joel Lacroy is proDaDiy uie Inrp-pRf rtnalflr to realize on Mr. Bon- ney's generosity. In conclusion, let me say: "Boys, it pays to De non est. Live a true, steadfast, upright life and the world will look on and approve." Marks Prairie. And still we have plenty of rain. Bad colds and la grippe is the gen eral complaint here. Our country Is feeling the effects of the low price of hops and potatoes, as it Is very hard to raise any money with which to do business. Henry Kraus has been' building some fences on his farm here.

Your Macksburg correspondent seems to be suffering from a bad case of swoll-head, and we would recom mend a big dose of Teraxacum or Po dorhylin. He says he stands for prin ciple, but does not say what princi ples. The attacks he makes on cer tain Canny business men Is done only through malice, and, if not, why do you not sign your name to your ar ticles? Instead of trying to better conditions, you are trying, In your weak and insignificant way, to hurt men, who are far your superiors in brains and education, and who ,at all ' times, are In for good government and are a credit to our county, instead of chronic kickers.

Our people are afflicted with colds and la grippe, and the afflictions hold on well. Herbert Marston returned from Illi nois and is better satisfied with Ore gon and Clackamas County than he ever was. The farmers who have not dug their spuds till this week have been raising their spuds out of the ground, and the potatoes produce two crops at one digging one of green tops and one of tubers. One farmer says his green irnn Is ni Inches hlnh. That red clover field that looks so thick on the ground and green at this time of the year should be treated -to a rtriBB of Oreeon land plaster, to the amount of 20 pounds to the acre. Why don't some of tne progressive larmers In old Clackamas County try an acre of clover by plastering it in January una watch the experiment? ' Your scribe had his ideas tickled by a plow he saw this week. Why, Mr. Editor, It had no plowshare on it, and it cut 12 Inches wide and 13 inches deep, and It turned the underside right on top, and this furrow was as clean as a floor, and no clods fell back in the furrow. The operator sat on tne piow and drove the team and operated the plow. I think if I was a boy again I would have one of these plows. A gasoline cross-cut saw outfit is crosscuttlng stove wood at Grant Mumpower's during the wet spell. From the appearance of things, this outfit has quite a Job nf nnwlner to do here, and several of the boys around here are inclined to take things kind of easy, especially when it rains in Oregon. Elder G. P. Rich will preach at Park Place in the Congregational Church on the 19th day of January, at 11 o'clock.

A very pretty home wedding oc curred yesterday at high noon at the residence of Lewis Hasslebrlnk, when his eldest daughter, Amelia, was unit ed In marriage to Mr. Jake Peters, of the firm of Peters & Aden, of this place. Those present were the rela tives of the contracting parses and a very few of the most intimate friends. Miss Hasslebrlnk was one of the most popular young ladles of our midst, and had been the head of her father's home for a number of years, the mother being dead. Mr. Peters Is one of Wllsonvllle's best business men, having been In the merchandise busi ness here since he was a boy. They have a very beautiful home built and furnished on the bank of the beauti ful Willamette at this place. Lewis and Nettle, brother and sister of the bride, were groomsman and brides maid. A sumptuous repast was served, after which the bridal couple left amid showers of rice and old shoes, for a short honeymoon. Mr. and Mrs. Pe ters will be at home to their many friends after February 1. Carus. The citizens have been doing some good road work on the one-mile west of the plank road, which includes the rural extension weBt on No. 3. MrB. Ward is up and about after a protracted lllneBs. I saw an article in a Portland pa per saying that all party nominations must be made under the primary law. It is the only legal proceeding, but it is not representative and the primary has upset bosslsm, but has introduced a system less representative. It has Introduced unusual strife and distinct ive strife for nominations, etc. Now, lot us see; the old system called pre cinct meetings to elect delegatos ' to county conventions, where the bosses generally made their appearance, or some small ward strikers, and, if pos sible, had such delegates as would be eaBily handled on the day of the con vention. These primary delegates were often elected by a small majori ty and when the convention met the bosses usually had their pot nomina tion, not fairly, to say the least. If, for Instance, a condidate for the State Legislature got a majority, he was declared elected, and bo went be fore the people at the election and used to be elected; but the voters are more independent now, and such per sons do not carry their party vote. Under the primary all the voters are the convention, and they made no mis take in the last election. The people will stand for the primary law. Canby. Rev. F. J. Springer, pastor of the Catholic Churches of New Era and Canby, has been called to the pastor ate of St. Luke's at Woodburn. The appointment was made by Archbishop Christie last week, and Mr. Springer will assume his new duties at once.

He will serve Canby and New Era until the Archbishop ap- Our Painless Methods and acknowledged skill and gentleness in handling the most difficult caies have robbed the dentist's office of its old time terror.

The new church building project here will be turned over to his successor, r Jordan & Garbade, Portland men, have purchased the Buckman tract, owned by Isaiah Buckman, of Port land, comprising 375 acres, and will cut It up into small tracts for settle ment. This land lies almost in the city limits of Canby and has Willam ette River frontage for more than a mile, with numerous boat landings. The south line touches near the Southern Pacific Railroad.
