2 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1915. News of the County and Suburbs Local and County Items of Interest to Our Readers SHUBEL Farming is almost at a standstill, because of the weather being too wet. But never mind it will be' dry after Beacon Heights Hall will be a good place to meet your friends next Satur day evening, Nov. 20th. A dance will be given (and very likely such other things as usually go with a dance), to dedicate the new kitchen, which" was deemed necessary when a supper was given. On Saturday evening, Nov. 27th, at 7:30 P. M., there will be a road budget meeting held at the same hall. . Your "Buy in Oregon City'' move ment is being discussed and then cuss ed by the farmers. I'll venture to say that nine-tenths of the farmers believe in the move that is, by chang ing the spelling of one word, and an other little change. Instead of read ing "Buy in Oregon City," it will read "Go By Oregon City," and they will all tell you they have good reasons. Let me give you one illustration, and there are dozens, too. A farmer bargained with a certain firm in Oregon City to sell them some wheat. When he came with his load they hemmed and hawed; then finally agreed to pay him 87 cents but they would pay him 90 cents if he would take it out in flour, and further they would rather have oats and would pay him $25.00 per ton but they wanted him to take it out in flour. The farmer needed something besides flour, so called up another "Buy-it-in-Oregon-City" firm. Here is the an swer he got: "No, I am not buying just now. I'll wait 'till I can get oats for about $20.00 per ton.'' A deal and said he would buy and did, certain country merchant heard of the and still does buy, and paid $24.00 per ton. Now don't you think that the farm er likes that motto: "Go by Oregon City," and not "Buy in Oregon City?" Now this did not happen ten or fif teen years ago, but in September, 1915. No doubt there are, and we know these merchants in Oregon City who are fair and try to do the right thing without argument, we will ad mit, and that the above can be ap plied to farmers as well. I think we Mr. and Mrs. John Hamilton, Sr., were in Oregon City on Monday to do some shopping. Wm. Hicinbotham took them in his Ford. Jim Sevier took in a load of hogs to Portland for John Randolph and took in a load for Ben Tannler Mon day. The farmers are getting rid of their hogs, not because they are get ting a big price for them (7 cents isn't much), but because feed is so high, and the roads are so nice and muddy that it is a pleasure to pass over them. Frank Cummin and Ed Miller were in Portland on business recently, also Wm. Hicinbotham and Mrs. M. L, Sevier. visiting her son, expects to go back to her home in California soon. EAGLE CREEK Mrs. Brackett and Mrs. Judd visit ed with Mrs. Howlett one day last week. A. W. Cooke and wife, of Damascus, were guests at the home of Mr. and Mr. and Mrs. George Priester, of Logan, were visitors with Roy Doug las and wife Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. John Reid and Henry Udell and family were the dinner guests of James Gibson Sunday, were over to their son's, Ray, Sun day. Mrs. Kate Courter spent Sunday A. W. McMillan was a Portland visitor one day last week. Mr. Beckett and daughter, Miss Veda, paid a week-end visit to the home folks recently. Miss Louise M. Duns, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Duns, of Garfield, and W. H. Douglass were married in Portland Monday, November 15. They left on the evening train for San Fran cisco, where they expect to visit the Panama Exposition. Following a short honeymoon the couple will re turn to the home of the groom near Eagle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. Douglass will be at home after November 25. LIFE IN ESTACADA Hunting of Fur-Bearing Animals in Cellars is Latest Vogue Much has been written in late years of the huge profits made from the domesticating and raising of fur bear ing animals and while the aroma may not be a true index to the amount of future profits, Walt Givens expects to be able to market not less than one gross of skunk hides this season, pro viding always that the hides are as easy to catch a the odor. Walt is the proud owner of the former W. F. Cary home on Terrace Addition, with its sixteen cords of neatly piled wood in the basement. Said wood is now the resting, abiding and permanent headquarters of one or more skunks. Temporarily the family sleeping porch with its liberal supply of fresh air is popular with the Giv ens lamily. Seven different kinds of traps, two explosive baits, sixteen snares and a bird coop are now in the Givens' base ment, awaiting the fur bearing inhab itants, who seem to be perfectly satis fied to spend the winter next to the cheer and warmth of the furnace. (Estacada Progress.) JACK FINDS "CRUSOE" LOGAN The coroner at Portland called up N. H.

Constable Frost Called to Apprehend Real "Nature Man'' in Woods "When hec rawled out of the hole in which he was living he looked jifst like Robinson Crusoe," said Constable Jack Frost, when he was telling of NJiis apprehension of Martini Loretto, an ascaped patient from ward 23 of the state insane asylum at Salem. Loretto was hiding in the woods near Rock Island, and was discovered by Joe and Clarence Enghouse, who noti fied the constable. The "nature man'' had been living in the woods for some time, and was very thin and very dirty. He had tak en shelter in a hole under the roots of an old stump, and when called by Constable Frost showed no inclination to return to the ways of civilization. At first the man refused to answer any questions, simply shrugging his shoulders; but later when confronted with an asylum guard who knew him he became more talkative, and said he was having a nice time out in the woods, and didn't see why he should be disturbed. He was returned to the asylum. . 'ed to Miss Gertrude Smith. Mr. Hill No doubt every one who accepted . :.i j...

Now if they could only think of some plan to get us such roads without taxing the people to death they would always have plenty of friends, or evolve, think of, or invent some plan whereby every farmer could have his own automobile within th next six months, the question would be solved at the next election. Now don't think I'm crazy.) I am like the editors of our papers they know all about road building; that is, it takes money to build roads, and I do not agree with them that the present sys tem is a wasteful system, for ther are a good many miles of road Clackamas county, which had to be cleared of trees, stumps and rock, and hills to be graded down, and if they will investigate they will find that getting the Columbia Highway ready lor hard surfacing took a good par of their one million dollars, and only tv miles, while a good many road dis tricts in Clackamas county have over half that many miles, and there are bO districts in the conuty, CLARKES home Mrs. Jassen Clarke came from Portland lust week.

Company Second Jitney Ordinance Remains Un born at Behest of Templeton -The second jitney ordinance for Oregon City, which appeared myster iously in the council chamber some weeks ago because "somebody slip ped" as Councilman Templeton said; and which City Attorney Schuebel re ferred to as "a very good skeleton," was not produced for dressing and manipulation at Monday night's coun cil meeting . for two reasons. The first reason was that there wasn't any council meeting; and the second reason was that Mr. Templeton, god father of the jitney ordinances, asked the mayor to let the skeleton slumber peacefully until the appeal of the Bagley decision on the first jitney or dinance had been determined. Just why Mr. Templeton didn1 care to have the second jitney ord nance started on its merry way was not revealed.
