CHERRY VI LLE Jack Frost made his appearance 'here last week. Lyceum and Debating societies have started again for the Fall and Winter. They started up on the 8th. Work has begun on the bad turn on the road at W. A. and Frank Stone's, or the Peek-n-Boo ranch. This has been a menace to travelers for some years and John Bercholz, the road boss, has repeatedly called the attention of the Court to it. Rev. Dwight Hillis, who occupies the pulpit at Brooklyn, formerly fill ed by Rev. Beecher, got in bad by speculations in land in British Colum bia, and went broke, besides getting others into financial troubles iilso. He says himself that he wanted to become wealthy in a get-rich-quick scheme, which is the spirit of the age, He tried to make a scapegoat of his nephew, Percy Hillis, who promptly called his uncle down and refused to stand for it. He bus been drawing a salary of $12,000 for 10 years, besides making as much again on the side. This was not enough to satisfy his worldly greed, which was mountain high and still climbing. If he had lost his money in some sort of scheme to better the sad condition of the poor in the great city, where he lives, there would have been a grand excuse for it. On the contrary he has done nothing for them, as they had no money to keep up his fat salary. Quite the reverse, as he has denounced their attempts to better their condition by organizing the unions, and said what he knew to be false when he said that the infamous Colorado Iron Ai Fuel company had offered to recognize the Union to settle the strike in the awful war then raging. At no time was there such an offer made, nor is there now when John D. Jr., is out there play ing house with the miners' children and giving his greasy smile to the poor miners whom his bloody gun men have left alive. If Hillis had a heart in him and not a gizzard, he would have denounced the horrible condition of the laboring men in old John D's oil refinery at Bayonne, N. J., right under this right Reverend's nose when men were compelled to work 12 hours a day in a shifting room of 110 degrees blood heat, and only once, early in the morning, was a little bit of ice put in their drink ing vessels and by 10 o'clock their drinking water was nearly boiling hot. For this murderous toil the men got $1.68 a day. Now it is said that the rich men in the Brooklyn church will come and help Hillis out ot nis imanciai noie and ne will go on preaching the nice, comfortable doctrine (!) ot letting a lew Kind Christian men possess the earth and let uoa s great majority tne poor toil on for meager wages until death relieves tnem. Now the S. P. R. R. officials say that while the supreme court of the U. S. say they must sell the grant lands in this state at $2.50 it does not say when they shall sell them, which is of course, a lie, as it does say that Congress does not within six months from the date of the de- cree formulate a plan for disposing of the land to actual settlers then the federal court in Oregon must proceed at once to sell the land. The truth of the matter is that this railroad has mortuged these lands to the Union I Trust company of New York City for $40,000,000, and when they sell the land this mortgage will have to be taken care of and $2.50 an acre will not go very far on this vast sum.. In the meantime if our Representatives in the senate and House do nothing to expedite this business then they will hear from the people next Fall. Wm. McKenzie. of Bull Run. has sold his ranch near that place and will go to Bridgeport, Conn., where he expects to get a' job in a gun fac- tory as he formerly workeed for the Savaee Arms factory at Utica. N. Y. Brideenort is in the heitrht of a hitr boom, growing out of manufacturing guns and ammunition for the Allies in the great war. They have grown from a city of 102,000 to a city of 125,000 in six months and every train that comes in brings loads of people skilled mechanics who make things that kill. They can get $4.00 a day, but when we consider the high rent they will have to pay, to say nothing of the high cost of fuel and other living expenses in that rigorous cli. mate that amount will not go very far. The vast army of people seek- ing employment there will soon be worKing at starvation wages as their ve.y numuers will invite a cut in tne w.r.,.o "M "'rr . U1- 'V wo" nvyii unu h'"" 1,1 JngiMuu aic nun making shrapnel shells and cartridges at $1.78 a week. The capitalists are however, reaping a rich harvest as the shells which cost them $2.00 to make, they are selling at $16.00 to the Allies and stock in these war sup plies companies is selling at several times above Dar. and is still soarinir while 50-percent semi-annual divi- dends have been paid. This stampede which is now going on at Bridgeport is just like a stampede at a mining camp, and will soon blow over, lcav ing lots of silly fellows flat "busted." Keep away from it! It is nothing but a rools Paradise. MOUNTAIN VIEW ,ast Monday there was a sorryL, ,u;. , i, ut ..ui set of women in this part of Oregon City.

We believe this road when properly placed, will be all O. K The auarrv at Fisher's Mill had an other blow up, causing the bunkers to tumble over for the second time, and also injuring the machinery.

Adams People with parched throats, roam ing about in search of a suitable liba tion to quench a rising thirst, will find a great array of drinks with every flavor, and combination of flavors, so far discovered in- the eventful life of the "soft drink." "Let's have a temperance bar, the kind, we'll have next year," said one committeeman. "That's a good idea," agreed an other. "Why not call it the '1916 Bar,' '' suggested a third, and all voted yess at once. Thus, the "1916. Bar" became an institution. A manager was secured and this manager will have as his as sistants real bartenders six of 'em, in white coats. As for the bar, well, it will be a regular one with front and back bars, plate glass mirrors, considerable "gingerbread" work, glasses stacked with soldier-like precision and lis ten there will be the brass foot rail, too, and it will be highly polished.

For the first time, there will be served a beverage that looks like beer, tastes like beer, has the customary "bead" to it and the ever present "kick,'' but isn t beer at all. NEIGHBOR SPEAKS UP Banks Herald Says Washington Coun ty Roads Worse than Ours The Oregon City Courier makes some pertinent comments upon the wasteful manner of expending county road funds in Clackamas county. The situation there, it appears, is much the same as in Washington county, where the bulk of the money is spent repair ing worn out roads and patching up mud holes. The Herald has many times in the past shown how precisely the same conditions exist in Washington county. By far the biggest item on the annu al budget is the one for county roads, and yet we haven't a single permanent oad in the county. Clackamas county is ahead of Washington in this respect. It has two miles of nearly permanent roads. Sometimes the taxpayers of both Washington and Clackamas counties will wake up. They will realize what tremendous waste there is in the road funds each year through the lack of economy in the system of expendi ture. But they do not yet appear ready to wake up. It is too comfort able to dream on and raise that per renial howl about taxes each spring. With a variously sycophantic, re troactive and innocuous press, relief seems far distant. (Banks Herald.) MORE ABOUT MOLALLA Pioneer Sees Hope for Its Readers if They Will Travel About Some The Oregon habit of knocking the place to strangers is to common in Molalla. Some of it comes through pure cussedness; from bad liver and an ugly disposition; from a fear that someone will succeed where they have failed and thus reflect upon them. Some of the knocking comes through ignorance of home opportunities and COTTON BLANKETS A large collection White, Grey & Tan.

Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling: sound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
