Last Friday some railroad men were blasting rock to improve the track a short distance above Canemah when one blast resulted in breaking the telegraph wires five of them. The lines were got ten in working order before noon, bow ever, so the interruption to telegraphic service was not long. Mrs. D. A. Eastham, of Silverton, died Thursday night.

A call has been issued for the meeting of delegates representing the People's party at Oregon City in March, but the call states that this convention will be governed by the national convention which meets February 22, for the pur pose of consolidating all reform elements into one party. If that convention should decide not to consolidate and not put a ticket in the field, it will have a modifying influence on state conventions. SOKE OBSERVATIONS. "I wish we women had some place of eiitortAinment and instruction," a ma tron was overheard lo rvmark at a recent social gathering in Oregon City. "The men have their kxltea and club rooms suimttuoustv furnished and stylishly maintained. They meet Companion there any evening and am use them selves in various ways, gather informa tion from one another and enjoy free and easy sociability. We women folks have nothing of the k ind and I don't wonder that some of us seek relief in gossip that in more or less idle and possibly a little tainted." "Yea," replied her companion, "the men have many advantages of this kind that we cannot enjoy, hut it wanld be impossible for us to provide elegantly furnished halls or club rooms without disrupting the family. These things cost the men a good deal of money and our husbands would never Btand it to have us spending similar sums for sim ilar purposes. You know how grudg ingly we get even a very small allowance lor church work. The men have been spending hundreds of dollars for their high-toned lodges so long that they re gard it as a matter of course, but they would pronounce a woman's club a baneful and unholy novelty. La, me! I wish it were otherwise." "I don't care," rejoined the m atron who began the conversation, "the women of other towns are not so con fined as are we in Oregon City and I be lieve we could find some means of healthy and profitable divertisement. I don't see why we couldn't do something for ourselves here if we should try." It isn't at all necessary to call atten tion to the condition of Main street; it commands for itself the entire attention of the people who have occasion to travel it But that nothing is done to remedy its shocking condition is a shame to the officials entrusted with the duty of look ing after the public welfare. Primarily the street is passable, as streets go, but with the lack of sewerage and the ac cumulated filth of a whole year for I am informed that the street has not lieen cleaned during this period the main business street of a city of 5000 souls is in a state infinitely worse than that of the worst country roads, through the neglect of those whose duty it is to attend to it. To be sure the mud is not so deep as on some of the country roads, ' k., l..nlr rtf ila Mmiuuitmn 1 ThaatMul is a slimy, quivering, sickening river of filth several inches deep from curb stone to curbstone. It is not cieditable to anybody that this is true. Of course we ought to have a sewer age system, and that we have not may be charged up to that spirit of petty jealousy or selfish greed that has cropped out In the city council on more than one occasion. I suppose there never was a municipal board entirely free of this smallness, but in the respect that affects the sewerage matter there is enough greedophobia in the Oregon City council to inoculate a pretty large body, I be lieve the Entirprisk touched upon this point some time ago. If I were running a newspaper I would keep the matter sizzling hot. But in the absence of sewers there is no excuse for not cleaning Main street. Once a year, forsooth ! Once a month is too seldom. Instead of wallowing in the slime eleven months of the year and then spending several hundred dollars in a grand scooping np of the soupy street, why not have a garbage wagon once a week, or at least once a month, gather up the dirt and rubbish which the busi ness men shall have been required to collect in compact heaps in front of their establishments? This would not cost more than the present slovenly habit and it is a method much in vogue in civ ilized communities. This last is another reason why we might profitably imitate the custom. Roundabout. Next Monday will be the regular meet ing of the board of trade. It will be in auguration meeting and there should be a full attendance. Last week a Chinaman by the name of Wong Ching was bound over to the grand jnry on the charge of indecent ex posure, his bond being fixed by Justice Fouts at $500. Wednesday he was bailed out by two Chinese merchants from Portland. The Chinese market gardener who peddles green groceries in this ci ty has a pair of roadsters. A short time ago they gave an exhibition of their speed by can tering gracefully around a block and then sowing vegetables up Main street. They were caught a short distance above Canemah and some kind-hearted citi zens of that burg repaired his wagon and sent the Chinaman on his way rejoicing. Last Wednesday the perverse beasts took another frolic, this time going down Main street on a tour of exploration, Not much damage was done, but their proprietor thinks that they too much foolee allee time. St. Valentine will make headquarters at Huntley 's bookstore from the 8th to the 15th. Grand ball at Goulding h all at Pleas ant hill on Friday evening, the 12tn of February, 1892.

Mr. Ilagey was a pioneer of 184J, com ing with his wife from Iowa and settling on French prairie. Two years ago Mr, and Mrs. Ilagey went to live with their daughter, Mrs. Levi Stehman, at Wright's Springs, on the Molalla, where the old gentleman died. He had suf ferwd from heart trouble for a lot.g time. Mrs. Ilagey survives. The burial was in Mountain View cemetery in this city last Monday, Rev. Edward Gittens of the M. E. church officiating. The surviving children of the deceased are A. W. Ilagey, a Molalla fanner, Mrs. Levi Stehman of Wrkht'l Springs, Mrs. Mary E. Hamilton of this city, and Mrs. Alice James of Ranier. Mr, Ilagey was a man of considerable force of char' actor, of the stuff that makes successful pioneers. He was not obtrusive and did not occupy a promiuent place in politics, but he was well known and esteemed by the old settlers in the lower Willamette valley. PARTLOW Near Mount Pleasant, Ja uary 29, 1892, Frances L., wife of W, B. Partlow, aged sixty-two years, five months, twenty-four days. Trie death of Mrs. Partlow was a sur prise to all. She was sick only one week, and peacefully paused away last Friday, January 29 Her funeral was held at her home Tuesday, February 2. Mrs. Frances L. Partlow, daughter of Sisson and Dorothy II. Chase, was born August 6, IK'-'H, at Bristol, Addison conn ty, Vermont. She lived there until 1842, when she removed with her family to Hancock county, Illinois. Remaining there until 1845, she, with her parent, removed to Council Bluffs, Iowa. : In, 1850 they 'turned their faces westward, and spent the winter In Ogden, Utah Taking'up the line of march they arrived in Oregon City in the summer of 1851. She remained with her family until mar ried to W. B. Partlow in Oregon City, June 8, 1857. The result of this union was three sons, James W., born March 15, 1859, Richard SiBson, bom August 18, I860, who died in his infancy, and Edgar Ballanger, born July 2, 1864, who lived only two years and four months. Having no daughter of her own Mrs. Partlow took into her family Annie E. Howland, to he brought up and treated as her own child. Little Annie was only nine years old when she was re ceived into this family. She was treated and loved as an own child, and In return gave the respect and love of a daughter. A more loving, dutiful child a mother never had. Too much cannot be sail of the gen erous disposition of our departed friend. No one came to her hungry without be ing fed, and she always had a willing hand outstretched to the needy. The funeral was largely attended by old and sympathetic friends. The ser mon was preached by Rev. J. C. Read, of Portland. Dairymen, Attention.
