George Fletcher, Howard Eccles, Lee

as they can be soonred. The roof is
completed now on the big building,
which is 64 by 120 teot, and the car
pouters are getting the Moors done

of 33 feet, and wis blasted out
through solid rock nil the way down.
A line large stream was struck at that
depth and the well at once filed with
pure, cold, spring water. A large
tank is being constructed, and a gas
engine will be used in pumping water
into the tank, affording the finest
drinking fountain for man and beast
at the fair grounds .

cellent showing of a large attendance
from this section of the county.

SPENDING MONEY AT HOME
WE WANT MORE HERE
Oregon City people appreciate the
features of tho good results that fol
low the patronage of home industry.
The workmen about Oregon City
mostly snend their money here at
home, all lines of business and the
professions are given thtir support.
Every dollar sent out of Oregou City
to a distant market is forever Inst to
tho business men and people of this
city. These facts are called to mind
by the spending of the entire pay role
ot the lumber.camps, mills, railroads,
etc., in the town of Spirit Late,
Idaho, which is a far-roachiug and
sustaining example of home industry.
This town has risen as if by magic,
within the past year, whero 13 months
Bgo it was a wilderness without a
single inhabitant. And this town
now has a very noticeable aud citified
appoarauoe, water works, electric
lights, graded streets, ooiuout side
walks and beaatifnl homes. In its
well-built husiness district are general
merchandise, clothing, grooery, hard
ware, drug and other storos. It lias a
bakery, a moat market, a tin shop,
hotelB and restaurants, barber shops,
a fine bank, and all the minor linos of
busiuess found in a thriving, growing
town. It gives employment to me
chanics in various lines. This exam
ple shows what is accomplished by
spending your money at home.

How Kelly Was Defeated
Tliirtv-six years ago II. L. Kelley,
our venerable citizen, was defeated
for the office of conntv clerk by ten
votes. At that time the Indians were
camping on the bluff iu considerable
numbers and their carousals were ter
rifying o the citizens. The town
was little mere than a trading post
and throughout the county travorsed
by Mr. Kelley that year were sparsely
settled communities and one in partic
ular attracted his attention, that be
iug Oazadero. From tho year 1872 to
the present time Mr. Kelley lias not
visited the town until Wednesday of
this week, when ho took the eloctrio
car aud went over the old political
battlefield. Thirty-six yaars had
caused a great change, hundreds of
farms now scattered through the
country where then spread the vast
foiests. The thriftiness of the fann
ers aud their wives and the fine fields
md orohards, painted boildiugs and
the many features of growth and pros
perity impressed Mr. Kelley beyond
the power of words to portray. But I
characteristic with the man, Mr. Kel
ley still remembers the light side of
that eventful year and states that had
he known of the deal at the time he
could have easily won the election by
exposing the joke played on him by
one who has now crossed the golden
shores, who seonrod a number of the
ballotB and crossed Mr. Kelley 'g name
therefrom, which prank caused his
dofoat, by ten ballots.

Leota Young, daughter of Oapt,
Young, of this city, performed an as
founding feat in the Willamette rivw
at tins oity. The little girl, who is
about 18 years old, swam a distance
of 2000 feet iu 12 minutos and was not
very inuoh fatigued by the effort, ex
pressing her desire to swim the return
distance immediately, but was not
permitted to do bo. O. S. Young is
captain or ino steamer JN. K. Lang,
and his little daughtir shows the dis
position and liking to the water that
is prominent with her futher.
Laura Ganong, daughter of J. W.
Ganong, vice-pies, of the Portland
Flouring Mills Co., the same evening
exhibited a wonderful swimming feat,
Hwimmiug across the river at the
samo point in 19 minutes.
The many young men of this ciiy
who have been practicing acquatic
sports throughout the sumuierghould
sit up and take notice of the above
feat-. We will wager there are not
many export swimmers among the
male persuasion who can beat the
swimming stunts accomplished by
those two young girls Sunday even

Mr. ,md Mrs. J. J. Cooke, John K.

Sol S. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Wuldron and sou Harold, andMr. aud
Mrs. Wheeler Choroh have . returned
home, after spondiug three weeks at
Mt. Hood.
The Faoifio Telephone Company
have very reoently completed sev
eral important changes in their long
distance service between Oregon City
aud Portland. The new service,
whioh went into effoot yesterday,
September 27th, Is of great impor
tance to Oregon City people. The
notification given oat by the local
superintendent, Mr. Oeo. J. Hall,
reads as follows :
"Before making a call to- Portland,
subscribers should oonHnlt directory
and give the desired number, to the
exchange operator, preceded by the
name 'Portland,' thus: 'Portland
Main 814,' and wait with the receiver
to the oar, the same as when making
a city call. If the desired number is,
not known and does not appear in the
direotory, it should be obtainod by
calling 'Information Operator.' It
will not be neoessary to ask for 'Long
Distance' and give the name of the
person wanted, as heretofore. A rate
of ten cents for the first two minutes
and five oents for each additional
minute will be charged for the new
service. The charge does not begin
until the called station answers."
.This is a material change from the
former system, when people here
when desiring Portland had to call
"Long Distance" and give name of .
party desired and there was usually
an annoying delay as well, and again,
the rato was twice as high as under
the new order.
The company have oompleted the
overhauling of their lines from Port
land to Salem and have five new lines
from Portland to Oregon Oity. About
thirty men are at work here taking
the ovorhead wires out of the pre
scribed limit contiguous to Main
street, and running same in cables on
Water street and Railroad avenue,
while within the prescribed limits the
wires are all under ground. Oregon
