OREGON
S THIS FOR
A Few Starters for
City's Big Year.
the
BUILDING ON EVERY STREET,
This Year will Show Biggest
Boom in City's History.
Oregon City is 'going to have the
iggost boom in its history this year,
and it's going to start uext month.
This isn't a pipe, it's a fact one of
those facts that is substantiated with
direct, conclusive evidence.
And this coining growth isn't a
"boom" in the western boom sense,
bnt simply a permanent growth based
on present demand and an alluring fa
tare prospects for this city.
Any man alive above the eais knows
this part of Oregon has its knee pants
on yet, and that in five years from
now the present picture of Clackamas
county will compare just about as do
the old MoLaaghlin pictures with the
present.
Great droves are coming from the
East on every excursion train, and
when the Panama canal clips off the
thousands of miles around the Horn
and gives the ocean vessels the short
ont to this bit of God's country well,
the people are simply going to roll in
to this section, this valley of the Pa-
oifio that has ninety-nine advantages
to one drawback.
Bat, whoa Bill. We started out to
show you direct evidence of things
coming. Here are a few, just those
voa fall over. '
The Mt. Hood Brewing Co will
commenoe work on a Main street bus
iness block the first of March, from
the corner of Eighth Btreet south. It
will be two stories, cement, with a
frontagi of 66 feet.
The Elks will build a handsome and
expensive home on Water street this
year a building modern in all details
and an ornament to the city.
The Episcopal ohurch has the foun
dation started for a 40,000 edifice at
the end of Niutti ttreet, on the bank
nf the Willamette. This church will
be of English architecture aud a
handsome building.
The library association will soon
commence the erection of a 113.500
pnblio library building at the head
of the Seventh ttreet stairway, and
this will be one of the most sightly
and attractive plaoes in the city.
J'fro.'jtions are under way for the
Maia'street property where Williams
Bros, transfer office is now located,
aud the barber shop adjoining. It in
planned to bnild a modern business
place there. .
Senator W. A. Dimiok will soon
commence work on a handsome new
rerldence on Center street, on the
heights, near the Oaufield residence.
William Andresen will build a new

. "I find that kitchen work is a pleasure,
rathe than a drudgery," says the housekeeper,
4 'now -that this wonderful MAZDA LAMP
brightens the room like sunshine. This new
lamp certainly is a blessing to the housekeeper.
It COSTS' NO MORE to burn than the or
dinary incandescent lamp and radiates nearly
THREE TIMES as much light. And the
quality of light is ever so much better. It is so
restful to the
residence on Jefferson street, on IiIb
present site.
J. A. Koake will bbuild a new home
on Madison street.
Frank Moore will build a residence
on Washington street.
It is reported that Frank Bosch will
erect a large building on the lot
north of his big store, and there are
any number of stories an to what it
will be. And Mr. Busoh says he
hasn't anything to say just at pres
ent.
V. Harris is building an apartment
nouse at the corner of 14th and Main,
and will soon have It readv for ten
ants.
H. B. Cartlidge, foreman of the
Enterprise, will build a pretty bunga
low on in men and Washington.
A. W. Cheney of Portland, who
owns considerable property in this
city, will build an apartment house
on Ninth street, between Madison and
Jefferson.
Harry Jones is getting material
ready for a new residnoe.
Victor Conroe, on Tnird street, will
build a new home this spnng
Joseph Davenport expects to bnild a
new residence on his lot on Warning
ton street between Second and Third.
Dr. O. A. Stewart has commenced
work on a modern bnngalow on Wash
ington street betweeu Third and
Fourth.
inese are bat a few that have come
under our personal observation, aud
the carpenters and contractors report
the prospects are for a big banding
growth this year.
And beside all tin's, don't forget the
big government oanal project, that
will expend over $700,000 here, and
which work will oommence this sum
mer.
Then will come dredging approrria
tions both above and Leloir the falls,
public docks and then this oity will
have what most cities would give
their hearts to get water trauspovta'
tion, direct from the ocean.
And then the big lumber mill at
Greenpoint will start np tha minute
the Molalla timber can be gotten to,
so it is reported, and will ran a full
force
And this year the Clackamas Sooth
ern railroad will be finished and one
of the richest garden spots of the
Willamette valley will have its outlet
here.
Don't you love this old town?
Den t tilings look rosy for its' fn
ture, and don't yon feel sorry for any
man that has to live anywhere else?
Harvey Case is On.
The ra of Naihun Harvey, in con
nection with thf mnrder of the Hill
family, will rome before the grand
jury today (Friday. ) The witnesses
have benn sahpoenaed and Sheriff
Mass will present his evidence. The
outcome will be watched with ntmost
interest.

And are You Qualified to
Pass out Judgment?
HAVE YOU EYER FACED DEATH
Paul Gozesky Played the Cards
as they Were Dealt to Him.
Were you ever dead broke, hungry
and desperate?

ver dime, see nothing ahead but the
ragged edges and the fringe of things?
liver look at the fotore through das
perate eyes, thinking ot yourself as a
drag on those you should be helping
as a hindrance rather than a help?
You who haven't been down m
these ditches of despair are not to
judge Paul Gozesky, nor call him
coward because he ended life with
carboilo aoid. Only yon who have
been there and ont the cards with
grim death are qualified to judge.
Paul Gozesky was handioapped in
the free-for-all fight for a living be
cause he had but one arm, and the old
saying that misfortunes bunch np was
illustrated in his life, for he lost what
money he had in a business venture
and then lost his job.
Tilings went from bad to worse
with Paul. Married bat five months
he found he was a borden rather than
an aid to his wife and mother.
men he went the road that so
many, desperate men go. He tried the
cheer ot a false sensation, tried to
drown worry with drink and failed
Then the remorseful, desperate man
played the cards as they were dealt to
him. hie soured lonr ounces ol dead
ly carboilo aoid down his throat and
waited for it to burn his vitals
The uoroner's jury went through
the usual form and rendered the nsual
verdict, aud Paul Gozesky is no more,
I heard a man mate this remark on
the street: "Any man who will kill
himself and leave a family to strug
gle on is a coward."
I wanted to ask this man if he was
ever oomnletelv lost in a forest of
dead hop s, and I wanted to ask him
Hti had courage enongb to sit down
on his bed, raise a glass of certain
death to his lips, look at it and drink
it
Paul Gozesky wasn't a coward he
was braver than the man who said he
was.
The martyr's Bilence is louder than
tha shriek of pain. He was down aud
ont, crippled, moneyless, drnnken,
dispondent and . desperate. He did
what be thought was the only brave
thins be could do and he did it
without flinching.
And here's betting that the Uhief
Juslioe, when he looks over the ap
peal, will nnn extenuating circum
stances and parole him.
Some people don't like independence,
MORA
COWARD?
WHEN THE BUCKET
SPRINGS A LEAK.
What Would be the Best
Thing to Do?
HERE IS A STORY FOR. YOU,
Mend it or Let the Leak Grow.
It is Up to You.
We want to tell the business men of
Oregon City a few more things this
week after a little we will quit talk
ing aud give yon a rest.
A man came into the Courier office
a few days ago and told a little story
It may interest yon. It should.
He was in no way con netted with
tiny office and we had no knowledge
of what he was doiug He said he
did it to prove a leak in Oregon Oity
Here s the lensy story.
He said from Busch's store he
watohed the half hour cars pull out
for Portland for three hours in mid
day.
During tins time there averaged
sixteen people on every car. They
were mostly ladies.
They were going into Portland.
What for?
At night he found out what for, by
watching the cars nnload at the Sev
enth street corner.
Every lady had a bundle. Now that
is his little story. Here is ours:
A Bhort time ago a man from Van
couver was in the Courier office and
he had a proposition.
lie was promoting a Portland adver
tising agency, but Portland mer
chants wanted to be shown.
'Ihey wanted to know if the Courier
would run the ads as they wanted
them run, with a coupon proposition,
that return of car fare would be made
tu any Oregon Oity resident who
traded a certain amount.
Another firm wanted readers on the
local page, quoting prices and aekiug
fnrmers to bring their produce to
Portland.
You haven't seen the ads, have you?
You won't, unless we are forced to
take them for this is au Oregon Oity
sheet.
Now onoe more :
The newspaper at Can by, that little
town we could hide in the hoopskirts
of Oregon Oity, has more advertising
than all the busine s plaoes of Oregon
Oity.
AND THAT TOWN DKAWS
TRADE PROM OREGON CITY.
It.'g a fact. "
Woodburn, another uttia town np
the river, one-sixth the size of this
oity, has two newspapers, arid either
carries more advertising than the
Courier.
Some sweet day, when the baby
wants a new shirt, and when patienoe
has qmt the virtue job, there may be
a lot more Portland ads in this paper.
a lot more ladies going to the oity and
a lot more bundles being put off at
the Seventh street oorner. .
It's a matter of business with you
merchants and a matter of business
with us.
Stop the leak, keep trade at home or
help to boom Portland.
Think it over.
Mil YOU STAND FOR THIS?
Will you Let Marion County play
the Persia Game on Us?
There is rebellion at Woodburn and
open talk of secession from Marion
oounty.
Aud this right in the face of a high
state tax, a presidential eleotion and a
good roads campaign.
Do you wonder that Socialism
grows.'
Woodburn says she lsn t in right on
the Final Wh&ck-up, that she isn't
given notice of the Distribution ot
Dividends and that unless she is taken
in on the Main Divy she is going to
start something.
Now Oregon City hasn't any objec
tion to Woodbnrn making a noise like
an eoho, or howling until its citizens
get the asthma, if it will only keep
its trouble a iotly family affair.
But when she comes over the border
and proposes to make us line np and
fight with her, or confiscate our prop
erty if we din't well It Is time to
oall off the city couucil light and oall
on a. call to arms.
The Independent serves notice on
the fellows who run things that un
less that end of Marion oounty has
the political plums passed to it more
often, it will secede from the oounty,
annex a chunk of Clackamas and es
tablish a county ot its own, by gosh.
So there.
Treason I Judas Iscariotl Benedict
Arnold and Col. Henri Wattnrson I
Men of Clackamas, w'll yon stand
this? Will yon let the north end of
Marion county tell you where to head
in at?
Up and at 'em. Tell them they
can't have one foot of Clackamas
county to make politios of, and that
we will never, no never aid or abet
any suoh revolution. So there.
Hardin Fets the Limit.
Judge Campbell gave William Har
din about the limit Monday, when he
sentenoed him to serve twenty years
in Halem prison, on conviction of
criminally attaching his step-daugh
ter, Eva Phelps.
Hardin is the owner of a large goat
ranch near Bull Run and is said to be
wealthy. The attack is said to have
been made three years ago, and die
trial was at the last circuit court.
The defendant's attorney, G. B.
Dimick, says the case will be taken to
the, supreme court and Judge Camp
bell has fixed the bail at 110,000.
D1SHPANS, highest grade, seamless,

SELLING LIQUOR TO MINORS
Revokes a License, but Council
Doesn't Seem to Know It.
Polioenien Frost aud Green saw a
saloon man sell liquor to a 17-year-old
boy. They did what they are sworn
to do, what they are ordered to ' do.
aud arrested him.
Henry Oppermaun was tried before
Mayor Dimick, nued $50 and paid
his fine. -
The matter ends.
Now you mayor aud counoi linen of
Ortgou City.you men so busy lighting,
diow away tne smoke ana turn to or
dinance No. 319, Sec 7 of the oity
laws, wniou yon are pledged to eu
force.
It says any keeper or pronrietor of a
saloon who sells nanor to a minor
siip.ii De nuea not exceeding 8100 or
by imprisonment not more than CO
days, or by both AND SHALL FOR-
FEIT ANY LICENSE WHICH HE
MAY HAVE. "
Now if any ordinanoe means anv

There are uo two wavs about it it

Why don't yon do it? Why didn't
you bring it up Wednesday night?
ion knew or the case and vou know
one orainanoe.
There are enough men over 21 to
put their teet on the bar rails and
their elbows on the walnut, without
the kids.
jLvery saioon man who believes in
law believes that it should be enforc
ed, and 1)9 men and women out of 100
in this oity want to Bte it enforced.
They haven t any boys to spare.
Last summer Mayor Browuell and
the city couucil went after the Log
uanin saioon under tue very same or
idnance. The proprietor was Sued.
given a jail sontenoe and his license
revoked. This saloon was found guil
ty of having Portland women in its
place.
Was it worse than selling liquor to
a boy ?
Let us enforce- the ordinances aud
the penalties, or let us bnrn the char
ters. Quit fighting and saw wood.
Wednesday night's council meeting
was the usual row; only harder and
more of it, and no doubt the courts
will have to separate what should be
a harmonious body working for the
interests of Oregon City. In brief
here are the important points :
Mayor Dimick appointed Stephen
Green a ohief of police the couucil
refused to confirm.
The mayor refused to sign the pay
warrant of Shaw, removed ; a motion
that the recorder draw the order was
ruled out of order, and an appeal from
the decision was carried.
The mayor's veto ot the Water
street ordinance, where the retaining
wall fell over, was passed over his
veto.
The mayor appointed Henry Mel
drum city engineer and the council
killed it. He tLen appointed H. A.
Montgomery and he was approved.
The mayor appointed Lee French as
pol email, the couucil killed him.
The mayor appointed Steven Green
as ohiet of police and the counoil
killed him.
Oounoiluiau Altrght stated that the
night policemen were off their beats
hours at a time and took tarnB going
home aud to bed. He refused to di
vulge the source of his information,
bnt said he would swear to it. Tooze
backed these statements.
Green and Frost emphatically deuy
those statements aud demand an Inves
tigation. Gordon E. Hayes as, a cit
izen, demanded that the proof be
prodnoed.
The mayor appointed John Lewlleen
street commissioner and Charles
Burns ohiet of police: the uouuoil
would not oonflrm.
And thus the war goes on and the
people are getting very, very tired of
it.
The Date is Feb. 22.
February 22 the Columbia Hook &
Ladder Co. will give its big annual
dance in Bosch's hall, and there will
be nothing like it for a big time, tor
the Hooks always give a guarantee
tor a time of your life with every
ticket.
Fox's orchestra of Pot thud has been
engaged, the dance bill is only oue
dollar and everybody is invited.
Firemen s dances are always popu
lar, for a fellow feels a sort of loyalty
to the boys, lie knows where his in
surance rates would be if it were not
for them. And the Columbia boys
have a good stand in.
Put the date where you will fall
over it Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 22
A TAXPAYER'S COMMENT.
Presents a Matter for Taxpay
ers and Workmen to Consider
To the Editor: Among those who
visit the tax collector's office between
now and April will be many a man
whose ouly assets are a growing fam
ily and humble cottage with only the
necessary pieces ot furniture. All of
this certainly yields not a penny
toward paying the year's taxes, which
in many cases must come out of the
two dollars pet day earned in ten
hours or the 12. 28 earned in 12 hours
shift work in the mills.
At oertain hours of the day he may
meet iu the h ills of the court house
bevies of gay girls who draw from the
treasury of the county f 55 and np per
month for six or eight hours' work
daily. Their youth readily suggests
that they are still unencumbered.
wbiob again suggests the probability
HAVE
BO
that their earnings are for pin money,
fiumes ana inns. The average pay
w buuoD nuu uu Bixuiiur wum iu pri
vate offices is less than $50 Der month.
There are rich corporations who can
afford to pay their girl clerks salaries
beyond the dreams of the majority of
wage workers or the income of most
farmers, but tne average taxpayer is a
mau usually in pressed circumstances
whom the tax oolleotor puts annually
into a nnaucial pinch.
A knowledge of the facts iust cited
would give him a keener desire to
take part in the oivio reforms, and al
so a better realization of the truth
that justice as well as liberty is the
price of eternal vigilance
To reduce the salaries of the county
employees to the generally accepted
standard would be as agreeable to the
average ritizeu's sense of justice as it
wouiu be to the hard pressed tax
payer. A TAXPAYER.
LET'S GET A MOVE ON.
Farmers Say we Talk too Much
and Act too Little.
A Molalla man was in the other day
and he had something to say.
He wauted to know it it will be neces
sary for the farmers to organize iu or
der to get Oregon City to take hold of
the pnb.io dock matter.
Aud he says if the farmers DO or
ganize to force something for their
own good, it may not ba along the
lines of what Oregon City may want.
And again, he says the Live Wires
and Commercial Club have talked a
puhlio wharf for just peven mouths,
and we are not seven minutes nearer
to It.
Three is something to this gentle
man's compliant, but it isn't all tine.
' The Commercial bodies here are not
the whole works. They cau't haud
out ultimatums to the oity or oounty
nor go down aud make a dock. They
can blaze the trail and get interest
started, then others must help.
But, follows, down at the eud of
Twelfth street !b a natural dock, aud
all we have to do is to take it.
There are no if 's and and's about it,
it iB the only natural dock, the only
plaoe the farmeis' teams can get in
and get out-asd the only place where
a little expenditure will make a splen
did wharf. Nature has made it.
Aud the thing to do is to go tolit
go take it.
TueWilUinetteOo. is going to organ
ize a common carrier rfeight ooniimuv
and run boats. We must have a dock
Let us talk less and saw a little more
wood.
The farmers want to come hoie.
waut to ship from here, and want to
receive from here, aud the move to
make is to help them, and do it oheer-
fullv.
THE CALLS OF THE CLIMES.
Oregon and Minnesota Send
Out their Appeals.
Frank Moore, the veteran news
paper man of St. Paul, after freezing
tor fifty yeats in Minnesota, came to
Oregon City two years ago.
Aud like the rest of us Mr. Moore
'got it" and got it bad. He troke
out with it, had it in its worst form,
and one day when he oonldn't stand it
any longer he sat down aud dashed oft
the following to the newspaper boys
of the Pioneer Press :
Come out to the laud of cedar aud
vine,
Where the birds ever sing aud the
flowers ever twine.
The laud of the pouch, the prune and
ttie pear,
The laud where the apple grows
everywhere,
The laud of the bossie and the land
of the sheep,
The land where ye sow ye may also
reap,
The laud of the mountain, the forest
aud stream,
Where the water is pure aud the
grass ever green.
(And a few days later Mr. Moore
received the following reply, whioh
he says he held over a lamp nntil it
warmed up a little before he dared
read it he was afraid of pueumouiu:)
Come back to the land of the ice and
the snow,
Where the thermometer goes down to
thirty bolow,
Where there's frost on your whiskers,
frost on your nose,
Frost on your lingers, frost on your
toes,
FroBt on the window, irost on the
street,
Frost on the faces of the people you
meet.
Then why do yon boast of the peach
aud the pear
When there's nothing as good as the
pure frigid air? , (j

An Unknown End of Our
Unknown Country.
100 MILES ON MULE'S BACK
Wierd, Burned-up Cow Country
in Southwest Texas.
When you go to
west Texas to stop
atJr o.
You'll have to stoD there, for there
is nothiug farthor west. It is the
jumping on place. West there is
nothing not a postofflce, a grooery or
hotel, it is as far west as cultiva
tion goes.
On your map you will find traoed a
rather crooked stream from ISonora to
Juno, and it is labeled Devil's Kiver.
I drove a mule down its bed tor over
oue hundred miles and I do not be
lieve that anywhere in the course of
sixty miles could a damp stone be
found if you dug for fifty feet. Der-
i s Kiver it is indeed, if it ever rains
out there, for this great draw is the
drain for a hundred miles, and when
general rains come this channel is a
raging, dangorouB torrent.
xour geographies tell you that west
Texas is a plains oouutry. I wish
the man who wrote this misstatement
could follow down dry Devil's river
from Sutton oounty to the Rio
Grande, for west Texas geography
would change.
This great draw, in plaoes two
miles wide, and again narrowing
down to three hundred yards, appar
ently was onoe a great river. For
over a hundred miles it is lined by
great bare binds as high as the Cas
cade mountains, these bluffs running
buok many miles in every direotion,
and forming smaller oauyons tribu
taries to the big draw.
The trip down this river Is one a
traveler will never forget, because of
its weirduess, its desolation, its dry
ness its heat, itB strangeness. Shut
in this great valley, and looking up at
the walls ot rock and sand on either
side, one will occasionally stop and
wonder were he is at wouder it he is
still in the United States. These hills
are different from any hills you ever
saw. There is a strangeness associ
ated with them, and an awesome feel
ing oomea over you. It seems as if
the baked buttes had been heaved np
from below, pushed np ages ago by
some volcanic action, and had ever
since been waiting for the moisture
that never comes. ..
Many of the hills are as devoid of
vegetation as is John Rockefeller's
head of hair, aores and acres oovered
with sand and stones, stones as small
as marbles and as large bb houses.
Then will come miles of cacti, oat
claw, soto, dwarf oak, Spanish dagger
and soiaweista. Hundreds of caves
are hidden in these bluffs, the homes
of coyotes, panthers, loafers and wild
oats, and thousands ot pouuds of
honey are hidden in those ohambers.
Hunting? Well, if you could only
find your way baoK yon could go tip
almost any of the side draws and start
a deer. They abound in these hills
and the roughness of the country pro
tects them aud will for many years to
come. But unless one has one of the
old timers for a guide, he had better
shoot quail iu the main draw, for the
country is a maze, and lie will be
oome hopelessly lost in an hour.
Every draw looks just like the other
draw, orosBing, intersecting and
winding, and to become lost in these
canyons, with not a ranch house in
titty miles, is dangerous, But any
tenderfoot is oautioned when lost to
climb to the top of the highest peak
he can find, make smoke signals and
wait for someone to oome and get
him.
There are panthers on these hills
as big as yearlings; wild turkeys are
numerous: deer are plentiful; there
are a few bears, while wolves, wild
cats and oivie cats can be started any
where. And after hours of riding through
the hot drains we oome to Juno. This
cow town iB 135 miles southwest of
Sun Angelo a nice little three days'
drive. It is probably the most peace
ful and the wildest aud wickedest
west Texas oow town, and one of the
oldest towns of the Devil's Kiver
country. Two general stores, a smith
hop, a hotnl aud a saloon make up
the town. But the saloon should have
been named first, for it is the magnet.
Without it Juno would long since
have been lost from the map.
Every Saturday the cowboys oome
in from the canyons and until Monday
morning there is anything in the way
of wild west entertainment one wants
to see. And when these common
drunks beoome monotonous, a barbe
cue is pulled off. The "09" boys
come in to clean up for the Tailor
outfit and west Texas mates his
tory. Why men will live in these desert
hills and oauyons I cannot under
stand. I talked with a bright young
puncher regarding his life, aud found
he was juBt home from tiie rioh cot
ton lands of Texas, and glad to be
back.
This is sure 'nough a sorrv coun
try, but I wouldn't give one of these
little ole sand hills for all the country
west or uevu s Kiver."
Such is love of home.
Almost the whale west half of Tex
as from 1 eat smith country to the
Bio Gran-j, is dried up. Not since
the spring of 1906 have there been
generla rains, and the ranches are in
bad shape On maay pastures a
