A WATCH is intended to tell you the time of day. Unless it
does this it is worse than useless, for it i like the man you
cannot depend upon.
Many a man has twenty-five or thirty dollars tied up in a
watch which is worthless . when if he would invest a dollar or
two for having it repaired he would get the full value out of it.
Often a watch which does not keep proper time needs regu
lating, for which we make no charge. If it needs repairing our
charges are more than reasonable. Our work is guaranteed.

DEWEY IS DEAD
Memorial Service Here for Departed
f Hero of Spanish-American War
Admiral George Dewey, America's
hero in the Spanish-American war,
and by priority of grade the ranking
naval officer of the world, will be hon
ored in death with an appropriate me
morial exercise at the Congregational
church here on Sunday evening.

vote the evening service to the mem
ory of the great naval hero and has
provided not only special music but
other features that will make the ser
vice attractive. The subject of Mr.
MacCallum's address will be "Dewey,
the Man and Citizen."
Admiral Dewey died on Tuesday
evening at his home in Washington in
his 80th year. He had not been con
scious since the day before, when he
had lapsed into coma, still believing
that he would soon be back at his
desk in the Navy department, where
he kept at his tasks until a few days
before his death. General break
down, accompanied by arterior sceler
osis incident to old age, was the cause
of death. The disease had been grad
ually spreading its hold upon the pow
erful body for more than a year, but
the proud .old hero had fought it off
and kept its existence a secret from
even his intimate friends.
The G. A. R. veterans, ladies of
the Relief corps and fraternal orders
have all been invited to attend the
service at the Congregational church
Sunday night at 7:30.
WANT TO BUILD PLANT
Oregon City and West Linn Would
Co-operate in Paving Project
After much discussion of the plan,
the idea -of installing a joint paving
plant for West Linn and Oregon City
about to be taken up officially by
the Oregon City council, according to
Mayor Hackett, who will present the
matter once more with figures on the
cost.
Mayor Hackett believes the two
cities can bear the expense of erect
ing a plant and will profit from pav
ing laid without the expensive servic-
of contractors. The two cities
have approximately $17,000 to spend
on road work this year and Oregon
City's council has pledged itself to
stop repairing macadam or other sur
faces except with pavement. It is
estimated that such work would cost
about 80 cents a square yard and that
plant, similar to that used by the
county, could be built for less than
$1500. The first road to be built by
Oregon City will be from Fourteentth
and Washington to the end of the
hard surfaced Oregon City-Parkplace
road.

Hog Prices Continue to Climb. Sheep
Trade at Standstill
There was a light run of cattle on
the Portland market Monday, the to
tal being less than 500 head. Trad
ing was 'fairly active, although de
mand was limited. Prices were on
about the same basis as a week ago,
although prime light steers showed an
advance of 15 to 25 cents, while all
other lines were steady.
Trading in the beef steer division
was active, prime steers sold up to
$8.50 for several loads, which was a
good 25 cents higher than a week ago.
Also' several loads of primes crossed
the scales at $8.50; medium grades
brought from $7.50 to $7.55, with
common kind down to $5; one load of
choice feeding -steers sold at $7.25;
best cows brought $7.50 for a few
small lots, while two loads of prime
de-horned cows brought $7.35; good
kind realized around $7 to $7.10; me
dium and fair grades $6.25 to $6.75;
common valley cows and canners $4
to $5.50.
The hog market is on the climb
"yet," an advance of 5 to 10 cents be
ing made on all good butchers ana
packing droves; the top was $10.55
for one load of choice light hogs
which was 5 cents higher, while the
bulk of sales were $10.45 to $10.50,
which is a big ten cents higher than
a week ago. Sellers had a hard time
boosting prices, but after considerable
holding packers got busy on the ad
vance prices. Pigs were in good sup
ply with fair demand at steady pric
es; a few good pigs brought $9.1i5
while $9 took the bulk.
The sheep trade is at a standstill
the only supply received having been
weiehed of cars to packers. The
trade is very firm and prices on val
ley lambs have been boosted another
25 cents to $11; no east-of-the-moun
tain lambs have been in the market
for over a week, when lambs brought
$11.25 and yearlings $10; a further
advance may be expected when sup
plies are available.

E. A. HACKETT INJURED
Mayor's Son Suffers Fractured Skull
' and Broken Jaw Bone
When E. A. Hackett, son of Mayor
C. Hackett, put open bridles on a
team of horses hitched to a heavy
wood wagon' on Tuesday, the animals
became frightened and started a mad
rush down Main street. 'The young
man, who was standing directly in
front of the team, was knocked to the
ground, stepped on by the animals
and, it is thought, the heavy wheels
of the wood wagon passed over his
head.
Mr. Hackett suffered a fractured
skull and a broken jaw bone, in addi
tion to many minor cuts and bruises,
and for some time his life was de-
paired of. He has been resting as
well as could be expected considering
nature of his injuries, which the
Drs. Mount dressed. The team
dashed madly down Main street
for 10 blocks before Chief of Police
Blanchard saw them. The officer
stopped the animals single handed
after several spectators had failed.
Drs. Mount hold every hope for the
complete recovery of the mayor's son.
