It seems that the floating population has been more successful in getting work on the pipe line than local men, who have families to support. Men who are transients will not leave much money in Oregon City, while local men could be able to pay their bills.

CLARKES Miss Dora Marquardt went buck to Portland hist week. Jay Clarke butchered ten hogs last A Mr. Welsh, of Mt. Union, Pa., was in town lately, and said the Pennsylvania Central Railroad uses large quantities of creosote in pre serving the railroad material, which they got largely from Germany in the past, but now they are seeking it here in this country. Here is a chance for some one to get busy. A. W. Lafferty, one-time U. S. congressman from Portland, has been writing to some railroad land squtit crs here, stating that his efforts to secure them homes on this land held out of use has "broken" hiin completely, and that he often goes without his meals, and asking for a little advance in ready funds to help him out of his dilemna. Lafferty got in bad with Big Business in Port land on account of his fighting the Money Power, while in Congress, and Chey not only kicked him out of Con gress, but they are bound to put him on the "bum." If he had played in their back yard and jumped at the crack of their whip, he might be in "rat" McArthur s place to-day. Owing to family affairs a rancher owning a delightful little home on the railroad line near here, is offer ing his holding at an enormous sac rifice.

He is now living at Santa Bar bara, and the writer is in touch with him and hopes to write a complete and truthful account of the Mesaba Iron Range, and Rockefeller's con nection with it. Now comes the sum of all villiany, the Colorado murders, and the direct proof'showing that the man behind the guns of the black-hearted ruf? fians, who killed women and children at Ludlow, Col., was Rockefeller. Send us money for our hungry people, says Portland, and the next breath say hooray, look at our banks full to bursting, with over $20,000, 000. Why not take some of this idle money? No! This must not be touched. It is like the sacred white elephant of Siam, or the high tariff of the G. O. P. REDLAND Frank Walsh, chairman of the In dustrial Commission, appointed by Congress, gives out the statement that each and every allegation charg ed up against the Colorado Iron & Fuel Co., in Colo., for inhuman and deadly treatment of their employees, has been proven in toto and that Rockefeller and his son were also guilty actors in that terrible drama of crime and carnage. The whole history of this combination of unpar alleled outlawes and bloodsuckers has not been surpassed by anything re corded in the dark ages. When the Standard Oil Co. was first coming into notoriety it resorted to almost every kind of treachery, crime brutality to accomplish its purpose. ror proof read ..Wealth Vs.

Hearing of the great trood fortune of the Merritt Brothers, of Duluth Minn., who discovered this de posit, and secured it as a mineral claim, and other ways, Rockefeller sent out a hypocritical wretch, Rev from the bunkers at the Willamette Southern tracks.

The patrons of Highland Grange are going to give a Fourth of July celebration on Saturday, July the third at their hall at Clarkes. About two years ago they borrowed money to improve the hall by enlarging it and building a kitchen, which added very much to the convenience of those using it. Now they give this cele bration so the folks who stood in and helped them "pay off the debt can come together and enjoy themselves in a good old fashioned Fourth with out any fire works. There is talk of a ball game be tween the Married Men and the Young Men of Clarkes and vicinity, which no doubt will be interesting as some of the old boys have made good records in days gone by, while the young fellows, though full of vim, will have to look well to their laurels. There will be a chance for those who wish to trip the light fantastic toe, and the Grange extends an invi tation to all who wish to come and have a good time with them.

This svmlinl tins been adopted as the permanent de sign of the ornamental street light ing system ot the Gate City. The lighting fixtures are each four feet wide and six feet long, be ing mounted on galvanized nosts eight leet high. Ranged on either side of the arrowhead are 14 10-watt Edison Mazda lamps, while the top is surmounted by a 60-watt lamp. The blocks in San Bernardino are 600 feet long, and 10 of these fixtures are ranged five on each side of the street, and spread an even glow over the entire length of the block, pene trating every shady spot caused by the trees in the yards, and giving the street all the illumination necessary at very little expense. The plan is to burn all the lights in the fixture from dark until 11 o'clock, and to operate the top light only during the balance of the night.

Latest Wrinkles Are Told The Courier has received an ad vance copy of an original little book on auction bridge by Wynne Fergu son, 358 Broadway, New York City, entitled "1915 Auction Bridee." The work is terse and to the point, based on the fundamentals necessary for sound playing as recognized by the best players. It contains the 1915 rules and a table of auction leads that every player should know, and is of convenient form and size that one may carry in the pocket to consult at odd moments. This is the first book on the game to sell at a popular price, 25 cents a copy, and the' little book should fill a long-felt demand. Mr. Fergsuon is a member of the Union League Club and one of the pioneer players of Auction in the Knickerbocker Whist Club of New York.
