News of the County and Suburbs Local and County Items of Interest to Our Readers VIOLA Viola was well represented in Oregon City on Booster day, and all reported a good time. Some of them wondered where all the people came from. J. Randolph spent last week in Portland looking after his property there. A band of sheep have done quite a bit of damage here lately. The only way to keep them out of grain and gardens is to build a Bcreen fence. Wm. Ilicinbotham and family, and James and Wayne Craft, went to Portland on Monduy. Frank Gibb went to Portlund-to work Tuesdav. Frank Cummin and J. Sevier' were in Oretron Citv on Tuesdav. Mr. Brash was out in Violit aguin lately, looking after his interests. Well, we would like to see the sunshine again. The rain is spoil ing the strawberry crop and the rouds are bad to travel in the mini. Tom Jubb has been papering the church here, which improves the looks of it very much. He may also do some painting on the inside of the church. Tom Eaden is a busy man, as he makes a trio throuirh the country buying eggs, and chickens, landing up in Portland the first or every week. On Fridays ho goes to Ore gon City. He is a jolly merchant, and is well liked by all of us. We will soon have our young ncnnle at home n train those who 1 r ' have been attending the Kstacada High School. They are Laura Cock erline, Lena and Janett Graham, Es ther Myers and Worth Randolph. Our school will close on Friday with a program and a dinner. We expect to have Mi6S Woodlo back again in the fall to teach, which pleases the scholars and parents, as she is a splendid teacher. CHERRYVILLE And the next day it rained! Two weeks of falling weather has surely soaked up the ground in good shape. Over 1 rrfin nno steelhead fealmon i uin iai-on nt this dam eggs jinv m"i this spring and artificially hatched. After the fish are a couple of inches long they are taken to the feeding ponds at Bull Run, where they are kmit until Fall, when they are re leased and make their journey to the ocean and return, so it is said, when four years old. 4 It must have been an edifying spectacle to see old Joe Cannon dance tho Highlund Fling at the San Francisco exposition lately. Uncle Joe may be a high kicker, but he never can jump as high in a thou sand years as he helped boost the high tariff under the lniquitious Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Edison savs that in a hundred years tho poorest person will enjoy luxuries and eomlorts now unKown to many of tho rich and well-to-do. It's a long way to Tipperary, Mr. Edison! Ted and Harry Moore returned home lately after a season of toil on a ranch near Molalla. They say the outlook for crops all kinds there is good. Claude Woodle, the deputy asses sor from Eatacnda, was in town lately and says the prospect for a good crop of fruit is the best in the past three years. LOGAN Wo got wet weather by continued wishing and we will have to try watchful waiting for dry weather again. The recent Lower Loga nschool entertainment was very successful, owing to the hard work of the many interested in making it go. Our May cherries are a good crop and very early this year. There is a poor prospect for a clover crop, probably on account of poor start last year; but maybe the worms have something to do with it Grain and potatoes ought to do well from present prospects. Several Logan people attended the Grange picnic at Eagle Creek last Saturday, and enjoyed a fine pro gram, having a good time in general. Children's Day picnic, base ball and other games, a good program and a dinner to eat in the park if you bring it, on June 6th. Rainy Sundays are discouraging to base ball fans and the games have to be called off. Logan's developing a good team again. Clear Creek Creamery Co., receiv ed during April, 138,844 pounds of cream; 45,621 pounds butter fat, amounting to $12,321.36. The amount of butter made was 56,404 pounds, valued at $14,512.16. There seems to be some business back of those figures and new cream routes have to be refused though the capacity of the plant has been recently increased.. HIGHLAND A. Coop was an Oregon City vis itor Saturday. Mrs. J. Cash, of Beaver Creek, spent Saturday and Sunday at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. Simms. Mr. and Mrs. Hanhard spent Sun day afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Adams. Mr. and Mrs. J. Rutherford gave a party at their home Thursday night, about twenty-five young people being present.

Mr. and Mrs. Yeoman have ex changed their five acre home for res idence property in Lents, and will soon remove to their former home in Olympia. Keep your mouth shut! Seventy two new dentists were recently re leased from the North Pacific Den tal College. Hood River strawberries on the Portland market sell at $2.00 and $2.25 a crate, while Willamette Val ley berries go begging at a dollar. Query, what's in a name? Answer, $1.25. The five-acre English walnut or chard set out recently by W. A. Snook is making a very gratifying growth. The good book says that our Creator made all things that were made, yet when it comes to beetles, fleas and Johnson grass we find practitioners of that faith asserting the handiwork of Satan. Miss Florence Weisenbeck is home from Portland for the summer. The battle with water pulled off Booster Day indicated to the observ ers the need of more pressure. TWILIGHT EAGLE CREEK Continued showers greatly inspire the growth of vegetation, especially weeds. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Dodds enter tained Portland friends over the Sabbath. Booster Day claimed a large per cent of our inhabitants, many of them accompanied by a lunch basket A beetle of some sort is proving an injury to clover fields and such plant life as cabbage, kale and cauliflow er, by stripping their roots of hte small fibers so essential to a vigorous growth. J. M. Jack exhibited Duroc Jer seys and Wm. Mc Cord represented our Jersey breeders at the Booster Day stock sale and show. How easy it is to offer advice, not practiced by the expounder. Look around you and you will find a host of them. B. L. Harvey spent Saturday and Sunday with Portland friends. Von Jensen won the suit brought against him in Justice Sievcr's court by the horse trader, Case, in which an old span of grays were unloaded on the former at a good round price, and which proved their worthlessness at their first hitching. M. C. Glover and wife attended the State Grange, which convened recently at Tillamook. S. J. Eddy and wife, of Portland, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Gibson Saturday and Sunday. Eagle Creek Grange met last Wednesday, held a short meeting, and cleaned up the hall and grounds, preparing for the picnic, which oc cured on Saturday. There was a large crowd out to the picnic, though if there had been promise of more sunshine, there probably would have been a much larger attendance. A short but en tertaining program was rendered. C. E. Spence, State Master, was present and gave an interesting ad dress on grange work. C. Aue, of Springwater, rendered several vocal selections, which were much enjoy ed. Music was furnished by the Gar field ban-J. Altogether a pleasant day was spent, notwithstanding the shower that came in the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Douglass made a trip to Barton Sunday. Ray Woodle and wife were the guests of Malcolm Woodle and wife, of Troutdale, Sunday. Mrs. Viola Douglass, having quit working for Mrs. Howlett, the latter now has Mrs. Keith staying with her.

W. Ben nett and family; F. S. Weir, of Clyde, Wn.; M. S. Shearer and wife. Ralph Boyer left Tuesday to try his luck in eastern Washington. HOMEDALE EAST CLACKAMAS J. W. Bennett and son, Raymond, returned last week from a trip thru Eastern Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Blackburn are building a new house and reports are in circulation that they intend to warm it. We regret to say that sneak thieves again visited the Robbins' place and carried off 40 Rhode Island Reds. This is the fourth time that they have lost chickens. It is about time that officers of the Law were doing something in order to run down these offenders. Chris Muralt, as Aide to the mar shal on Booster Day, at Oregon City, was undoubtedly more impressive than the Marshal. Hats off to Maple Lane Grange! First prize again, also Johnnie Kunz man with 61 out-of-town people on his wagon, among them some very pretty girls. Mr. Curtiss is willing to wager that he will split more wood with three wedges than the much-adver tised wood splitter. Our community was signMly hon ored by royalty on Booster Day when their majesties the King and Queen, boarded the train at Robins. Mrs. Gwellum, of Carus, will en tertain the Homedale Card Club next Saturday evening. true, brought in a unanimous ver dict for the defendant, Perrett. The Farquhar Machinery Co., were represented by Hall & Leper of Port land. The operations of this Co-op erative Supply Co. will be remem bered by most people, more especially by the farmers and those who were taken in. There are thousands of dollars' worth of these notes obtained in all parts of the state by people, who in some cases were advised by their bankers to go into it. The majority of the notes are not paid and they never should be as long as the mak er of the note can fight it. Our new Corporation Law will help eliminate a lot of these wild cat schemers. The Merchants Bank of Portland at one time held six thousand dol lars' ($6,000.00) worth of these notes for collection and were offer ing them for sixteen hundred dol lars, ($1600.00.) LIBERAL SANDY The old Cooperative Supply Co. of Portland has been heard from again, and aired in the circuit court of Clackamas county when Henry Per rett of Sandy, was made defendant in a suit brought against him by the Western Farquhar Machinery Co., of Portland on a note obtained through fraud and misrepresentation by the Cooperative Supply Co. Mr. Perrett is to be commended on the stand he took in 'fighting the case to a finish. - x ' The jury of twelve men good and The heavy rains are doing some damage to heavy fall wheat as the ground is thoroughly soaked and it is falling. Strawberries are rotting, but the grass is growing. Corn is turning yellow in the fields; spring grain is growing fast, especially late sown varieties. Early cherries are ripening. The sign painter was out from Canby and put on the finishing touches on Vick's new store. Dudley Boyles, of Molalla, was a visitor Sunday last. Quite a few farmers are enjoying new potatoes. They are getting up-to-date on early varieties and cul ture as well. Dock Saylor and Purrdy, of Can by, have opened a pool room and bil liard rail in the old store building vacated by Vick, also a confectionery and ice cream parlor. Dock Saylor has charge at present.

Barr, for over 20 years in the employ of the Southern Pacific railroad as a bridge carpenter, died at Canby Sunday as the result of burns received when his clothing caught fire from the explosion of tor pedoes in his pocket Sunday after noon. How the torpedoes became discharged is a mystery, as Mr. Barr was lying unconscious beside the track with his clothes on fire when he was found by fellow workmen. In spite of medical aid given him, Mr. Barr passed away after a night of intense suffering. The body will be sent to Oakland, Oregon, for bur ial. Mr. Barr was 53 years old and is survived bv his widow inj t, children. He was a native of Oregon Having Dcen Dorn in Douglas county. R. L.
