Mrs. Fisher died at her home four miles
east of Canbv on the Sth insu M rs. Fisher
had been in Oregon scarcely a year, but
notwithstanding, she leaves a host of friends
and a large family and sorrowing husband
to mourn her loss. She was aged 37 years,
six months and eight days. Her remains
were laid at rest in the Canby cemetery,
Rev. Mathews officiating.
Miss Ina Rauch of Mt. View, spent a few
days last week in our midst Tisiting rela
tives and friends.
Some of these young fellows basking
round in single blessidness seem to have
no sympathy for a man when his wile
leaves him. Never mind boys, we labored
hard for near thirty years before we got a
wife, and ierhaps you will be just as for
tunate, and if so, we will endeavor to retali
ate when you are in the same condition.
Say, wonder how it would work to form a
syndicate and build an electric line from
Oregon City to Canby and Barlows, for the
purpose of lighting the streets and running
street cars. We will invest all the money
we have Rot in the enterprise which is six
bits, if some one will furnish the wind and
brains.
There are a good many of our progressive
farmers her, who have a slight disposition
to growl a littleon account of so much rain.
Even our worthy constable is going around

Our Enterprising vu .g fii-iin', Mr. Geo.
Brown, is pushing the work rapidly on his
farm, and in a short time will have about
forty acres gabbed and ready for the plow,
which six months ago was covered with a
heavy growth of small and some large
timber. Success we hope will be his reward.
We desire to congratulate our Honorable
Judge Meldrum in his attempt to improve
the condition ol our county roaas. ine
fact is just as he sees it. We can never
have good roads untill many of them have
been relocated and the grade established in
the proper way, and we people up the river
from Oregon City, would welcome the day
when several of our main roads leading to
Oregon City, are vacated and one good road
established that would be decent to ride
over at least six months in the year. At
present there are three trunk roads leading
from New Era to Oregon City, and none of
them are fit to travel any day in the year.
One good road could be built to answer in
place of the three, and wonld it not be
wisdom to do so.

The Beaver Creek Press is before us. It
is a small sheet, but has got the right tone,
a tone which is being sounded throughout
this community and being discussed when
ever an opportunity presents itself. It is
finding favor in the eyes of the people, irre
spective of the old parties. The question is
sometimes asked, will it ever amount to
anything. I say yes, while others say you
wont stick together. Wait and see.
While Mr. Mailer was sharpening some

Mr. N. Cook, late of Dakota, has concluded
that Oregon is the place that Horace Greely
had in mind when he gave his famous
advice to young men, and haa located in
our city, and is at present building a resi
dence. We shall expect ere long to see a
cook, in fact, as well at name established
therein. ,
After long waiting we are about to be re
warded with a new depot.
We feel called upon to again suggest that
it wonld be wisdom for some of our citizens
to erect a few more cottages en their vacant
lots, as there are repeated calls for houses
to rent, and also would sgggest that our
streets be open to the public instead of being
fenced in for garden purposes.
There was a spirit of cussed ness developed

We are glad to report good health In this

akin to the grippe; but nothing more serious
assails us.
Farm work has been somewhat delayed
bv rain, and a few find their frain falling
and hay wet. It is hod that the bright
sunshine and cool air may continue oer
harvest.
And now, Mr. Editor, we would like to
call the attention of yourself, and the
natrons of vour paper, to the feasibility of
an electric car line on this Molalla road
from Oreain Citv to Soda Springs, We
believe such a line would be well patron
iied, and farmers would be able to semi
their light produce to market without hav
ing the lite and freshness shaken out of it
by a hard drive of from six to twenty miles.

Weather fine, wind up stream, and the
indications for haying and harvest weather
are good. The farmers are busy taking care
of tlie hay crop w hich is very good all over
the country. Fall wheat is also good and
well filled, and promises a good yield. The
late rains have insured a large yield of oats.
Our hop yards are in fine condition, and un
less injured by the louse will yield an abun
dant crop. Cherries and strawwrries are of
the past. Apples and pears will not be a
full crop this season, but promise to be of
good site, and we hope a good price.
Times are in a flourishing condition in onr
section this season. New bams and new

Mr. Jonas Kaupman is the luckiest boy
around these diggings. Last week he was
shingling on the roof of Mr. Thompson's
new barn, when by accident he slipped and
fell to the ground a distance of twenty-two
feet; but as he is possessed of a certain
amount of activity he managed to light on
his feet and escaed with only slight shak
ing up, and is now all right again. He says
he does not care to show us how he did it
by trying it over again; and we de not
blame him, for we are satisfied be could not
do it and come out alive. Hibo.

Covots are getting numerous, and Mr.
Hodmen's Mock of sheep is diminishing in
consequence. If Clackamas county could
afford to otfer as good a bonus, as Mtiltno
mak boes, it would be worth w hile to hunt
down some of these pesky knaves.
Tourists are already enjoying the pleasure
afforded among the Cascades. What is
pie asetiter than the fresh mountain air, and
the pure, sparkling water as it rushes
in numerous streams from lis mysterious
home in our W-anliful, majestic Mount
Hood? These streams almuud in trout, and
many of their banks are richly covered
with blackberries. A few wise town folks
are, I dare say, dreaming of the buckle
berries that are ripening for them. Those
w ho have seen Mount Hood rroin no less
distance than Oregon City, know nothing
or its grandeur. The writer knows wherein
she speaks. Gnu week or free mountain
life is worth a month In a hot sniokev loan.

Invite us over. We will be engaged with
