' The Courier force is celebrat ing in honor of Mr. Fourth of Ju ly, the biggest man this country ever produced, so if this week's issue is a little shy, forget it.

Keating tnd two child ren, Rodney and Virginia, who have been the guests of Mrs Keating's sisters, the Misses Coch ran, have returned to their home in Portland. But two ,. days in June did the temperature register as high as 75, and July 1 opened with the old mercury hugging 05.

A representative of the Dun's commercial agency was in tnis city Saturday, just returned from a driving trip all over Clackamas county, and to a Courier man he said he was simply astonshed at the richness of his wond.Tful county. He said it was the equal if not ahead of the famous Hood River country, and that the day would come when the country ar ound Boring would be raising ap ples that would rival that famous locality. This gentleman said that Clackamas county was only in its swaddling dresses as yet, and that its development had on ly begun. The members of St. John's sewing ciud pleasantly surprised Mrs. J. W. McMillan at her home n Gladstone Monday afternoon, arriving mere at l and spenu- ng the afternoon.

And already there is talk that the west side will incorporate and have a little city of its own rs last, as you near a man say this, shoot him. Mrs. j . McMillan anil ehilr;ren left Tuesday for Astoriai where they will join Mr. McMillan, who has been there for the past m-mlti J hey will remain in Astoria imI about September 1. B. N.

An eastern cutlery factory that will sustain fifty families wants to come here. A milk condensary with an investment of half a mil lion dollars wants to come here.

Ford will preach next Sunday evening on the "Passing of the Old Political System and the New Order," and he invites the public, especially those . who are interested in the present po litical crisis. Service at 7:45 p. m., the morning sermon at 10:45. Philip Leichtweis of. Molalla, was in the city on business mat ters the other day, and was a cal ler at the Courier office. Mr. Leichtweis is we believe the old est subscriber on the Courier's records, he having taken the pap er for 26 years. The Hawley Paper Co. adding a big $80',000 mill, the government starting a $750,000 locks canal, the Willamette Co. building fifty new houses, and with new houses and public buildings going up all over the city well, things are looking pretty bright for the fu ture. The eastern cutlery factory that wants to locate here has been of fered all it asks byMedford.but the company wants the terminal rates this city is going to have. But the company will not force its way in. Our people must make a stir if we locate this industry that pays the highest wages of any skilled workmen manufactory. With the growth the west side is bound to have following the Southern Pacific's big work and the completion of the locks canal, then will have to come a new sus pension bridge, but this one a much larger one, partly paid for by the street car companies which will use, and with wide sidewalks on both sides. Next Tuesday is the opening of Chautauqua, and from the inter est and talk in the city it will be a pretty good place to take a census of the city in the next two weeks. Secretary Cross has certainly ar ranged a splendid program, and no family in Oregon City can af ford to let such an entertainment go by without --attending some part of it. On the big telephone pedes you will see signs posted offering a reward of fifty dollars for anyone mutilating thein. Yet the linemen will shin up your shade trees, and use his ax and saw till his heart is content with mutilation, and until the limbs of the trees shall not touch those precious wires. If there isn't there should be a a city ordinance that would make criminal any person climbing in to and mutilating a shade tree. A man can't stand with a shot gun to protect his trees all the time. If a private individual should should climb into one of these trees and go to butchering it we would make him hump fast en. ough. Next Tuesday is the day the day the voters will pass on the three propositions and on the city charier. It seems strange that (here is so little talk or discussion of these important matters. One w6uld never know there was a special city election within a hun dred miles. Hut at the same time this apparent indifference is little to judge by. Now a days the peo- j pie think out theso. propositions all by their lonesome, and then I they vote. OREGON CITY COURIERS FRIDAY ONE BIQ DAY OF SPORT. Willamette Company Qlve Empoy ees Splendid Entertainment. The big fourth of July celebra tion given by the Willamette Pa per company is on as tnis paper goes to press, and there are hun dreds of men, women and children enjoying the day, the refresh ments and the splendid outing, I his big celebration will no doubt cost the company a lot of money, but the Courier believes it is a splendid investment, and that the managers did the right and handsome thing to provide their employees with this day of recre alion and enjoyment. The proper thing for the work men and employers is to get clos er together, to have a feeling of lellowslnp and to do away with the foolish class prejudice. When a man has his heart in his work and with his employers he is a valuable man, when he has not he is simply a machine marking time. The managers of the Willam ette company have taken a step in the right way to get the men and the employers closer together. It was a splendid day of sport and one the employees highly appre ciate and will long remember. And along the same lines why would it not be a good idea for the smaller concerns, the printing plants, the stores and offices to all get together on some dav of the future and give their employ ees the same kind of a sport day as this paper company has inau gerated? WILSON AND MARSHALL. The People win at Baltimore with Strong Progressive Ticket. There probably is not a reader of the Courier but who knows the ticket the Democratic national convention nominated at Balti more, and it would be like a twice told tale to rehash the details. Woodrow .Wilson was nomina ted, not by the trusts and the bos ses, Dut despite them, and that popular progressive, Governor Marshall of Indiana, was chosen as his running mate. Bryan brought about the nom ination of Wilson, forced Wall Street to keep its hands off, and then put the party on one of the broadest and most progressive platforms that was ever before the American people. The nomination of Wilson and the adoption of the platform kills ,ne necessity ol Roosevelt s new party, and sounds the dirge for the old Republican party. MURDER, FIRST DEGREE. Jack Roberts Gets the Full Penal ty for Auto Murder. Jack Roberts, charged with the murder of Donald McLoud Stew art, by shooting, him in an auto mobile on the Whitehouse road, June 3, was convicted of murder, first degree, Wednesday, and will be sentenced Saturday. Rouerts received the sentence with indiffrence. Multnomah Pays the Costs. We have never heard any criti cism because Sheriff Mass per mitted the Jack Roberts murder trial to go to Multnomah county. he murder was committed in this county, and the man could have been tried here, but the sheriff did not make any very loud noise when Portland wanted to try the case. And the takpayers of Clack- mas aren t kicking, either. WOMAN'S CLUB COMMITTEES. Appointments Made for the Com ing Working Year.

S. Bollinger, of the Highland Congregational church, who was also a former resident of this city. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white chiffon over while taffeta, and carried a bouquet of white sweet peas. During the ceremony Mrs. Mrs. Thomas Keith, sister of the bride, sang very beautifully "Per. feet Day." Sweet peas and roses were ued very effectively as decorations in the different rooms. During the evening refreshments were served After a wedding trip, Mr. and .Mrs. Hinz will make their home in Portland. JULY 5, 1912. Don't you miss" Chautauqua this year you can't afford to. E. R. Case, a horse trader, was arrested and fined $10 Monday for allowing his horses to stand on the streets for longer than two hours. Mr. Case claims that Policeman Shaw persecuted him in the arrest, but Shaw says this is not the first offense, but that he did not arrest him before as he thought a warning would be suf ficient.

Dye, Rev. A. Ilille brand, Frederick V. Holman, K. E. Brodie, Dr. Andrews, C. Smith and ueorge H mines. Following the meeting of the Association the birectors elected the following officers: E. G. Cau- fleld, president; Rev. A. Hillebrand vice president; J. E. Hedges, sec retary; The Bank of Oregon City, treasurer. STUBBORN IN POLITICS. , National Movement to Which H. Was Violently Opposed. At the meeting of the Illinois Bar ns Boclatloa Judge Theodore Brentnno of the superior court told of a cose tried before him several years ago at which the late Jim Evans, a widely known ind universally liked newspaper writer, was a witness. Evans bud given im portant evidence, and the opposing at torney was doing his best to shake bis testimony. He had made ICvnns go back over bis past life and was questioning him re garding the different positions be hud held. Jim wag telling of a period of bis early newspaper days when he hud held many places and none for long. "Then where did you go?" thundered the lawyer after Evans hud told of working a few days in the southwest "To Dallas, Tex. Worked two weeks," replied Evans. i "Why did you ebunge?" asked the lawyer, "My boss and I could not agree upon a question of nation nl policy," was the answer. "Then where did you go?" "To New Orleans. Left there In a week." "And what wag the reason this time?" from the attorney. "Same thing," answered Evans with a smile. "The proprietor and I found that we did not agree upon a political question of natloual Importance." ' The same nuswer was given as Evans told of numerous other places be hud taken and given up. Tbe attorney finally 'gave up bis attempt to break down Evans with tbe remark, "You must be a hard man to get along wltb If you have such sot political Ideas." A few days after the case had been decided Judge Brentnno met Evans on tbe street. Soy, Jim," be usked. "what was tbut question of national Importance that cost you so many Jobs? Whut did you and your bosses disagree over?" "Prohibition," answered Evans with a smile. Chlciigo Tribune. Frenoh With a Brogue.
