A II i- Casoy, April K Canny farmer's alliance No. ji? has passed into history. U as (ri!:niiot last June and at one time it hoted of some forty members. last Sat urday night was the lime of regular meet iiiji at Evan' Hall but tlTer only seven orrifht tnenilwrs ('resent ami they aj:reel anioni: themselves to niar up accounts a nit disband ami acted atwrdiiiKly. TUe ind storm of last Sunday was the severest known here sine ISSu, Fence were blown down, trees prostrated and eevrral buildings injured. The telephone line was also broken in several places. A iatch of shiu;l waa Mown from tbe residence of A. It. Ie a house that waa built and occupied by Ben Ilalliday in IsfTS. The wind did considerable damage to fruit. the aj'i'le and prune trees just being in toll blown. Frosts and hail had previously hurt the peach crop some but there will still b a large crop. G. W. Whipple's team ran away last Fri day evening. He waa driving and three men were ruling with him, all Mug under the influence of liquor. The team ran several blocks, tipped over the wagon and threw the occupants out, quite seriously injuring Teter Woertier. Major Caldwell, the prohibitionist, ad dressed a public meeting at the XI. K. church last Sunday night. After the speech a collection of !2 was taken up. FRvHi POND UCtTRRKNTES The Bail Weathcr-A Rrsldeiiee Barrifd-The T "Billiee." FaiKi Fos, April i5. This spring U a stunner to the oldest settlers ol the country, and by the looks of the weather we will get nothini; sown now before the first of May, and t!i. i! is getting it in rather late, liut one tine thing is, Oregon never has a failure ail together, so we may hojie for something yet it it is late in the season. Yesterday 1 think was the worst day of the season by all odds for wind and rain. Mrs. A. M. Barnes's house, of Frog Pond, burned yesterday alwut 11 A. M. with all its contents while they were away at one of the neighbors. The tire is supposed to have come from the chimney through some de fect and by force of the hard wind blow ing at the time. Preparations were made by John Kruse and others today to have a new house built in a short time for the widow. The lumber will be ready to haul in a couple of days. A subscription was started today which in a short time had 7.o0. More will be subsorihod tomorrow. Mr. and Mrs. John Kruse start tomorrow for Freeport to make a few days visit at their son's and to see the country in general for .the first time. M r. A. Coles, our Frog Pond teacher, had a spelling school last Friday night which was well attended, but I think the matter ol order w as one of the main things and should be attended to at the next one. Tualatin secular union meets next Sun day. The new officers will take their seats and a tine time is eiicted. Tualatin grange meets Saturday and a good attendance is looked for. I should think some of those old political cranks would let upon the two " Billies" as they are called. The people showed thein they were not wanted at the convention of they would have been chosen again. But as it is I think they have had their turn and ought to be satisfied without grumbling or keeping a set of grumblers in their offices as they are doing. They both are making themselves ridiculous by countenancing such proceedings in their offices. I think it is high time the " Billies" are laid in the shade and give a new set a show, and "get there Eli'' by all means. 0. K. Park Place Items. Pahk Place, April 26. Last Sunday was the stormiest day of the season at this place. Mr. Elliott is slowly improving and is able to be up and around the house. The young people's endeavor society is a success in this vicinity. The attendance is increasing and more interest is manifested than heretofore. Born to the wife of W. Yetiske, April 7, a boy. Mrs. P. M. Remington, of Arlington, Gil liam county, was the guest last week of her si6tcr,Mrs. L. D. Leonard. There seems to be some doubt about the legality of the fish law in regard to fishing at the Gladstone sawmill dam in tbe minds of some of the fishermen as they 0enly vi olate that law. If the law is legal why not enforce it? There is a reward of 12.7 offered for the detection of illegal fishing at that dam. J News Notes from Logan. Lolas, April 23. Rev.

'The t Taxpayer Mentioned-False Report from til Sheriff's OINre-Other Hole. Nkw Km, April '. A heavy wind storm prevailed here ystcnlay which reminded one ot some of the young cyclones of Kan sas. Some fencing was blown down and the telephone line was down between her and Canby In tevera! places, S. A. Hurley visited our peoplala.it week in the eaiacity ol deputy assessor, and as the fl Ot taxpayer lives her ho concluded not to burden the next sheriff with the re sponsibility of collecting that amount. He just paid the same to the assessor. Our folks up here will make a demand of the republi can central committee to make an investi gation, and publish the result of the same, of the false statements that are going out of the sheriffs otlice every day concerning the candidate for that office on the republican ticket in regard to the $1.00 tax. Frost lias greatly damaged the early blos soms up this wav and the entire Urst crop of strawberries is ruined. J. P. Uigan, or Molalla, will move his family to Sew Era In the near future. This time we gain w hat Molalla, will los. All we want is more ol the same kind to come in our midst Barney Frederick has just raised the frame of the largest barn in New Era precinct. The dimensions are 40t. It is ab the only hank barn in the precinct. -The democrats ar rather Indignant tip here because they were not allowed a clerk of the election board. And some of their leaders say they are going to present a peti tion to the county court asking that they b represented with one clerk. Joseph Hriggs, of this precinct, was nom inated last Saturday fur justice of the peace on the democratic ticket, and Mike Harris for constable. The next county clerk of this county, Geo. F. Horton, is very busily engaged put ting on the finishing touch of plastering George Brown's new house. We expect he will put the finishing touch on the rest of it on the 6th day of next June. Mr. Gailard has rented the store building vacated by Mr. W. W.Jesse in this plate, and will soon put in a stink of general mer chandise. This, along with our completed roller flour mill, will lie a great advantage to many in our community and e predict tor toth decided success. The golden wed.ling of Mr. and Mrs. J. ii. Foster will he duly observed by their many friends in and about this locality next Saturday at grange hall in New Era. The exercises will commence at luo'elock A. M. All relatives and friends are requested to be present and take part in the exercise. Par ties near by are requested to bring their bas kets well tilled. Those at distance are not expected to bring anything. Aurora Improvements. AfRoa.i, April 1S. Our town is beginning to show some signs of improvement and we trust the good signs will be kept up. William Mily has let the contract for the construction of a modern dwelling house on his lots in town. I'rban Wall intends soon to erect a new dwelling on his place near here. As soon as our school closes, whirl will be in about three weeks, work will be com menced on the large addition to lie erected and connected to our school building. This will give us two targe rooms and hereafter Aurora will have a graded school with two teachers. J. D. Hurst A Son are putting up a small cottage near their mills to rent. John Bitter is erecting a small house in town into which he intends to move when completed. Aurora is in need of a bank and offers su perior inducements for an institution of that kind. Dr. G. W. Cnsick. formerly of Portland, bas located here. His olhce is at Dr. M. Giesy's drug store. Children's day will be observed by our Sunday school. A splendid program of ex ercises is being prepared and a rich treat is in store fur the public on June 12th next. Dtnu'Hia, From the Mink Neighborhood Mink, April 21. II. O. Inskcep, Mr. Moran and ethers spoke to a crowded house last week in the interest of the peo ple's party. A number of the voters of school district No. HO are circulating a petition to divide the district. By all means let us have a county fair. I for one think Oregon City is the place for tbe same. Home of the farmers tiere are going to try and raise peanuts this year. If successful it w ill be a paying pastime. Martin A Hun's saw mill is again shut down as they have all their lumber sheds full of first class lumber and are waiting for good roads so tbey can begin hauling to market. Fruit trees are in full bloom. The late frost has not hurt them. The prosiects are good tor a big crop. Grey squirrels and chipmunks were poisoned by the hundreds during the few pleasant days we had. It would be a good thing if every farmer would use a few boxes of poison on his farm in the spring. Monk. Milwaukee Happenings. MILWAUKEE, April 2li. Tbe wind storm Sunday played havoc about Milwaukee vi cinity, blowing down trees, fences, etc. Mr. Frank Wilson's barn was moved by the wind so as to lean ten inches.

He hag circulated a petition which has been numerously signed. Tbe other night thieves entered our butcher shop carrying off about $2 worth of choice nieat. After supplying themselves there they entered the hotel and carried away bread and other eatables; the whole amounting to about It A UTTKK WIOS CASTS. Influences Men Need to Stimulate them to IJve of Higher Moral Tone. Caki s, April St. It la the business of a news correspondent to collect ami report all such facts and happenings as are likely to prove of interest to the patrons of the paper on which he is engaged. We consider that he also has the right to criticise any action or pnvovdings which atlW t the material or moral interests ot the community. It was with this understanding ol duty and privi lege that Calla penned the liam In her last munlcatlon, which had the fortune to (realty ollend the parties to whom It tvfVrred, Calla isn't afraid of any titan or a donen, and when Mr. McOont and bis crew waited upon her at her residence, last Tuesday evening, and requested an explanation of the language used In that item, It was frankly and cheer fully given. The cause that led to the pen ning of that Hem was the alleged perpetra tion of one or two practical Jokea; the facts having been given your scribe bv reliable parties. It was Intended as a criticism and reproof for whoever deserved it. We cordially agree with Mr. McCord in saying that his men con II no their " perform ances," wise or otherwise, to their own premises, and the persons and profiles of our residents are not in any sensv molested. He also claims that he has at present as quiet and well ordered a crew aa Is common among mill owners, and we willlnglv giu him the benefit of the assertion. I'erliaps it Is too much to expect that a company of men without the restraiut of home, or the presence of the gentler sex, should maintain as high a standard of morals aa those sub ject to such restraint. Granting the same to be true, III assertion is equally so that the presence in any community of any com pany of men, log campers or sawm!!) men, would be better appreciated if their morals were ol a higher tone. Tom Jones bas gone up to Castle Km k to look for work. Potato planting progresses slowly on ac count of the rainy weather. We hope that the subject of system of motor hues radiating from Oregon City to the inlying country, wilt be well considered by the board ol trade and citietis generally. t'ALl.t. .Notes (runt Mark's Prwlrle.
