that the floating population has been

money in Oregon City, while local
men could be able to pay their bills.
The coming winter will be a hard

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

him and hopes to write a complete

Iron Range, and Rockefeller's con

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?

Send us money for our hungry
people, says Portland, and the next

that each and every allegation charg

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

Later the black-faced robbers of

most astounding piece of villiany

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

have a good time with them.

California City Adopts Arrowhead as
v Symbol for Lamps
Closely connected with the Indian
legends of California is a peculiar
scar on the mountain side near San
Bernardino which takes the form of
an arrow head. 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.
