Occasional. Needy N erdy, Or., Nov. 2. Once more we hear the rain pattering on the shingles and see the white coat on the Cascade range, which reminds us that our wood houses need to be filled with our winter's fuel with which to keep up the blaze on the hearth. Our neighborhood is steadily Improving. Acre by acre is being grubbed and put into cultivation and new buildings continue to spring up In all directions.

These are all good and substan tial structures, put up with a view to com fort, durability and style. The old log cabin and board shanty are fast becoming relics of the past. In riding through the country around about Needy one can see a wonderful change, and a change that shows prosperity has attended the people. The new Presbyterian church is also nour ishing.

The Empire Manufacturing company is now under the management of a new corps of men, having L, I ., , rvocnuy cnaugeo. nsiiiis. Mr, Muster, lor inerty connected with the Standard 1ms fac tory in F.ast Portland, has the controlling Interest, and as he is a man of push and energy and one of w ide business experience there is every indication that he will meet with success. Since the new company has taken hold of the work a large dryhoiis has been built for Reasoning Hie lumber, and other improvements from time to time will he made as the company deems neces sary. N. J. While, former suerintcndenl and recently from Cleveland, O., has already given over his part of the work to Mr, Mosier and will undoubtedly seek new Held for business. Those having made the acquaintance of Mr, ami Mrs. White will regret exceedingly tlivir leaving Park Place, but will wish them success and proserity in any new enterprise they may undertake. Miss Nora Elliott will ietid the rail and winter with her aunt, Mrs. A person, and will attend school at this place. Death seems to have dealt unkindly In our little town during the past month, and has snatched low! ones from the home of three of our ellleii. The youngest child of Mr. and Mni.tl, 11. Maple died suddenly at their residence last Saturday, after only a few hours' illness. The little one was naturally delicate and was unable to w ithstand the disease that caused its death, The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near Ore gon City, the funeral service being at the Oregon City M . K. Church Sunday. Mr. Sneider, of Forest Drove, has Ken preaching each Sunday evening in the Con gregational cliel, with good audiences. Mrs. M.

Mr. Wurr can always be found at his bench in his home near Paper Mill station. Park lime is to have another new house right anay. Mr. Jones, of Jones' mill, commences operations this week on his house, to be built on hia lot. Mulalta, Molai.la, Dr., Oct. Jl.-Three months early or nine mouths late the w ater starts running in tin brooklet just before Novem ber 1st this (all, w hile last fall the branches started alxxit February 1. Scarcely had the copious rains ceased w hen many farmer " hooked on to their plow and now the soil is being turned over. The Molalla saw mill bits started up in earnest and is turning out a fine grade of j lumber. We nmlerstand that a company from Mt. Angel is Miming the mill a present. Mr. Charles Stewart bos rcnt.il his furm to some eastern man (or $.' a year, cash rent. Mr. Al. Gray who has run the farm for several years has moved to Marqiam, and will take osse9sion of the Thompson farm. Mrs. Wells has charge of the Molalla school w hich is to lie a four mouths term, On reading the account of Oregon City's rubbish and generally uncomely river front we were reminded of many dumping grounds for all manner of debris about many coun try homes, known about the premises as the backyard," Bnd almost invariably the well catches the filthy solntiou, very poorly filtered too, and by and by the family lake down w ith the typhoid or some other fever. Quito recently we beard ol an instance where in attempting to clean out a well, the farmer sunk three feet in the muck at the bottom of that hole in the ground he called his " well," alsiut which he hail been thinking all summer for several years that " something must lie In the well." If you must be cranky alsiut any any thing, let it I about the water you drink and the air you breathe. What a pity that many front yards, in cities and in the country, for the best interests of man kind, arc not the back yards. Should this short sanitary lecture fit any town or coun try with a dirty background let it clean up and live a life of cleanliness. Let us wake up and rebuke our lust legis lature in dollars and cents in the Columbian eiiKjsition matter. The old song of bad roads is being sung over again. While the giganticquestious of the day are absorbing the people's minds who will be the first to solve our road ques tion? The 99 bushels to the acre wheat case will lie thrown out of court for want ol suf ficient testimony unless there is a showing up soon. Frog Pond. Fboo Pond, Or., Nov. 1. It has been some time since our part of the county has been represented in your paper owing to some cause unavoidable, but Frog Pond Is still thriving and nourishing. We have plenty of rain and the farmers are improving their time in plowing and sowing wheat. The most of the potatoes are dug with a fair yield and lots of small ones. Home are complaining of their rotting already. Felix and George Evans were up from Portland visiting their father last week who Is seriously afflicted with a cancur In his face. James Kent was visiting lii.i uncle and family the past week. Mrs. Kent and daughter, of Portland, also gave them acall. Frank Kruse returned last Thursday from his trip to Dayton, Washington. Ho went there for his health after being sick all sum iner, and came back fully restored and fat and saucy. Mary and Annie Andres, who lived near Canby in years gono by, came down with him and will stay till spring pro- vided homesickness docs not set in. Our school district gave a dance Friday night for their benefit. A party will he given at Tualatin Grange hall on Thuuksgiving evening with a basket snpper.

When that ron arrived he asked for the license before the ceremony could I perfnmied, when the young Ieutscher pulled from his HH'ket his eilUen'i paper. , Tualatin Grange met Saturday with a fair turn out and had a pleasant lime as usual. Dr. J. Casto, from Warner Grange, gave us a good talk. Mr. Itork, the farmer' alliance man, with an Iron paw, who packs his black hoard and works hia Jaw In the interest of the dear eople, gave Frog Pond a call a short lime ago. II hd two listener, It V.

Professor Henry liobb bas returned from the Suunyslde hospital sound and well and able to go to plowing. Alw Keesler has also returned from the same place fully recov ered. Fred Shaufer and John Tyler have taken a Job of clearing ten acres of laud for John KriiM. at f.u per acre. They are baching, ami the Is.ys gave them a charivari the first night in their new home.

A. l'hilli' and Clyde F.vau are buying produce ami taking it to Portland by wagon. I hope they will do well in their new enler ivrUe. CAM'S. rrmlt tinmen' AMWtatlon Belter Country Koail Nreded Cahcs, Or., Nov. J.-Cams seems to Ix In the lead as It shoukl lie, as people round here think. Sow for one 1 second the motion of Mr. Andrews that a meeting of the fruit growers of Clackamas county tie railed at an early day, so that proper means of protection can lie secured to the fruit and fruit growers. There is no doubt hut Clackamas county is one of the best fruit counties In the state, It not the best, but the fruit pest must tie fought and conquered or the business given up. Just'kecp on agitating the road question until the people become awakened to the ne cessity of better roads. It is a fai t that Hour, gram, and all kinds of produce still remain on the farms on account of the al most impassable nwls. While the farmers feel justly pruud of Oregon City, our county seat, its substantial growth, its natural facil ities for a line city and market for our pro duce,' it is almost impossible to get there with anything like a decent load. I would suggest that the many would-be candidates fur legislative honors pledge themselves to In all in their power to have a law passed allowing counties to issue bonds to aid in making some through roads of the first class to the county seats. Ihdieving the state should lie fairly well represented in the coming world's fair we still think It of more interest to the people of Oregon to have some good roads, When an immigrant conies iutothiscoun- ty he seems well pluased w ith almost every thing but the muds. let the roads be re surveyed (main ones I mean), and though the distance be somewhat Increased, and a few who now have the very oor roads passing by their doors be somewhat Injured by the change, let the main thoroughfares lie so located and worked that the greatest number shall be accommodated. If this can tie accomplished Oregon City will lie- come the trading center it is Justly entitled to he. Reuben Fanton, Henry Waldron and J. Casto are each building first class root houses. Much of the fall sown wheat in this neighborhood is up and the fields quite green. The lower lands are not yet sown Mr. Roliert Matlicson has purchased the Al. Dundass place and will soon leave the Campbell place. We shall miss bim much Mr. Stone and family have left the Doty farm and moved to Mulino. The apple crop though abundant is not worth hauling over the fearful rouds, and hence goes to the hogs, Mr. Davis's new barn is Hearing com pic thin. Mr. George Cassady has rented his farm and gono to Tennessee. Ho got tired of teaching and will probably bring back a helpmate. It is currently reported that a wedding will soon take place in this neighborhood. Yours for good roads, Fakmkk. oui:uo MTV CIGAR FACTORY, AUGUST FISHER, I'ropr.
