ALL DRUGGISTS: EOc. AND Ji.00
Mr. Matthies, of Portland, a brother
of E. Matthies, of this city, is prepar-
Icgto build a cottage on his place on
Twelfth Street and Water Street, and
has commenced the excavation for the
i basement, and will have all of the
modern Improvements.
.The building owned by Judge David
and Miss Mary Barlow In the Com
mercial Bank block, is undergoing ex
tensive improvements and a new front
is being placed to the Electric Thea
tre in keeping with others, will give
the appearance of a metropolitan
musee. The theatre Is well patron
ized by the people of Oregon City,
and It was necessary to enlarge the
seatlne capacity. J. D. Renner has
the contract for the Improvement.
Oswold & Frederick, the furniture
manufacturers, whoso large establish
ment is on Water Street, between
Eleventh and Twelfth Streets, have
this week completed a dry kiln. The
building is 20x21 feet In size and 11
feet In height, and Is built on the prop
erty adjoinglng that where their man
ufacturing plant is situated, and Is
on Twelfth & Water Streets. The
property on which the kiln has been
built has been leased for a number of
years. The kiln heretofore used by
the company has been abandoned
since last August, owing to the struc
ture being too near that of the'Busch
store, and the building will be remov
ed. The Oswold & Frederick Manu
facturing Co. makes a specialty of
mission furniture, and the furniture
turned out at this establishment com
pares with that of any other manu
facturing concern In the state.
On the corner of Third and Wash
ington streets, Kent & Smith are the
architects on the neat cottage of Mrs.
H. M. Montour, which will be for rent
on Its completion. The resiuence
will consist of seven rooms, hot and
cold water and electric lights. Mrs.
Montour will also erect another cot
tage on the property adjoining, and
like the present one being built, will
be modern and up-to-date.
There Is a scarcity of desirable va
cant houses in Oregon City, and mod
ern houses that are under construc
tion will be eagerly sought for, as
many of the real estate men of this
place say that there is a ready de
demand for good houses, but the de
mand cannot be supplied,
Among some of the property that
has been sold by O. A. Cheney, the
place In Kansas City Addition, which
brought a price of $750, and other
deals are to be closed up In a short
time.
With the advent of spring the in
flux of Eastern people who are look
ing for better things and seem to
know where to find them, an Improve
ment Is notlcablo in the movement of
real estate. From our city real estate
deals a few transactions were glean
ed just to let our readers know which
way the wind blows:
H. E. Cross, of the Gladstone Real-
estate Co., reports the sale of tho
Fuller property to Chas. Tooze at
Gladstone. The place is a valuable
one from various points of view, and
Itself commands a magnificent view
overlooking that prosperous Park Ad
dition. Also the sale of a lot to C. B,
Johnson adjoining the one recently
purchased by him.
Gorbett & Elliott handled a $1500
sale, a large residence at St. Johns,

building lot of Mrs. E. Paine. The
former will build thereon soon, and
expects to reside in this city.
The Gladstone Realestate Co. sold to
T. M. Cross, of Molalla, 6 lots from
the Bolds estate at Gladstone, and Mr.
Cross is considering the erection of
a home on one of the lots In the near
future.

He Got What He Needed.
"Nino years ago it looked as If my
tlmo hnd come," says Mrs. C. Farth
ing, of Mill Creek, Ind. Ter. "I was
so run down that life hung on a very
slender thread. It was then my drug
gist recommended Electric Bitters. 1

IF WE TRUST HIM.
God gives to each a share of sorrow,
God gives to each a share of joy,
We need not fret thou for the morrow
For unknown things we need not
sigh;
But be content with what llo gives
us
Nor plno for things he does not give,
Only trusting In His promise,
His servant He will never leave.
The depth of love, we cannot fathom,
As we praiso Hlra In our song;
Yet, we see Him bruised and bleeding,
As on tho cruel cross He hung.
Lot ns think how much God loves us,
That Ills only son Ho. gave
That we though but sinful mortals
With Ills eternal life might leave.
As God gives to each a portion
both of sorrow and of joy,
Let us trust Him for salvation,
Which tho world can not destroy.
For the hand of God Is nblo
To protect us from all harm,
If each day will find us resting

When setting trees, trim off all
bruised roots with a sharp knife,
leaving a ""smooth clean-edge which
will heal rapidly and' send out new
feeding roots in a short time. A brok
en or- bruised root will decay and be
a damago to the tree. When a tree
has lost a portion of its roots, a like
proportion of the top should be re
moved. If but a few- of the roots have
been removed by being transplanted,
it will not be necessary to do more
than thin out the top and balance the
symmetry of the tree.
American Farmer.
Did you ever hear a farmer say that
he has no us"e for a garden, that it
does not pay? The man is a loser who
holds such notions. He misses the
pleasures of having vegetables to eat
In their season, and he has to pay the
household expenses which would not
accrue if a good garden were allowed
to contribute to the food supply.

The Rhodes
PRUNING
(PATENTED)
EVERY fruit grower will appreciate the advantages of a prun- 0
ing shears that has a double cutting edge, as all the pruning shears
heretofore on the market have had only one . cutlng edge, and the A
other edge being dull would bruise and peel the bark from the X
limb and Injure it so it would not heal up smoothly, but the Rhodes "
Pruning Shears having a double cutting edge, cuts from both sides
of the limb and does not bruise the bark, but leaves a clean, smooth
cut that heals up rapidly.
All previous attempts to make a double cutting pruning shears Y
have been failures, as the shear blades would draw together, and cut
themselves; but with the Rhodes Double Cut Pruning Shears this
difficulty has been overcome by the overlapping points, as you will
notice by the cuts that the points of the Rhodes Shears pass by each A
other before the shears cuts into the limb far enough to draw the T
blades, and it is impossible for the blades to dra wtoegther them- J
selves after the points pass each other.
The Rhodes Double Cut Pruning Shears are finely finished and
are made from the best quality of material. The shear blades are A
forged from tool steel and are carefully ground and tempered. The X
handles are maple. The ferrules are of wrought iron four inches Y
long, with an extra ferrule one inch long on the end. There la a
rivet put through the ferrule, handle and shank of the-'shears which
keeps the ferrule and shears from coming loose from the handle,
Blades of Wood Handle Pruners are the same size for all lengths. X
