came as a surprise for all but two or

take effect after the first Sunday in

Dr. Giboney has been pastor oi tne
church since November, 18S4, wnen
he came here from Oregon City, Ore.
During his pastorate the church mem

present church building and lots are
valued at $30,000.
Mr. Giboney is a graduate or Han

'84, and of Princeton Theological in
stitute. '87. Before coming to Spo
kane he was in charge of a pastorate
at nretron City. Oregon, for several
years, in a statement sunaay ne saw
that he had made no plans for the
future, merely expecting to take a
racar nf several months, during which
time he will probably remain in the
city.
Speaking of his resignation he said
The onlv reason I have is that my

the demands are too great for one

f!D you ever stop to compare the COURIER
with other County papers? Consider a
minute. There are 12 pages each page contain
ing 7 colums. This makes a column more on
each page than you usually get in a county weekly
or 12 columns, which is equal to two extra pages
when comparing with a six column paper. Then
the extra length gives half a page extra. So,
summing up, the County Weekly as a rule gives
you 8 pages each containing 6 columns. To
get the comparative size of the COURIER you
must odd 6 pages which is lacking only a page
and a half of being just double the size of the
ordinary 8-page weekly.
Only the loyal support that the COURIER
has enioved throughout the County enables it to
furnish such a large paper. If you are a reader of the poper call your neighbor's
attention to the fact that Clackamas County has never before had so much in the
way of a County Paper.
Remember the MAGAZINE SECTION THE COMIC SUPPLEMENT. This
alone is worth the price of the COURIER.
