But it Is by no means intended to transfer all the energy of falls into Port land. That is too long and too big a game even if the interests of the Oregon City concern lay in that direction. But the company also owns some 800 acres of fine land adjoining the falls on the west side of tne tiver, where there has already been a large amount of money invested in permanent improvements in the way olfactories.

This is the turn in affairs that every body here has been watching with great interest, for the immediate prosperity of the town depended in a large measure first of April only. The monthly dues I ol the members were originally fixed at 50 ceuts, but beginuing with the first of this year does were reduced one-half. These small dues are calculated to meet the small running expenses of the or ganisation. For any other funds the company must depend on hall rentals, j Hon, good water, a variety of (run Irwa. balls, etc. Tbe present strength is flity men. Many old men are re-eullstimr and considerable Is being done io the way of recruiting the ranks. This military company Is a commsada ble organization and worthy of every encouragement. It takes painstaking and persistent efforts to achieve effici ency in tbe manual and company evolu tions so as to be capable of real service. And Company F is composed of material that would face any service unflinch ingly. Company work affords a means of recreation and exercise and of social divextisement. The company is well officered and is in good shape for uiak- body is invited to attend. Park Place school district No. 48 has sold (2500 of its six per cent bonds to a Boston firm at par and it will now go ahead with the erection of its new school bouse. The bonds were negotiated through H. Z. Burkhart. The papers say that Judge McBride is teaching some of the witnesses a whole some lesson. One man came to the stand at Hillsboro tbe worse for liquor whereupon tbe judge fined him (10 and ten days in tbe connty jail.

A gentleman just in from tbe Bonanza mine at Greenhorn mountains, near Baker City, says that rubies have been discovered near there which are worthy of mention. They have the appearance of tbe genuine article in color, and to all appearances are rubies. He said they were about the size of peas, and have the octangular shape of a cut stone. He secured over 100 of the little gems. course the immense water power can not be removed from here and it must be developed sooner or later. But ( the sooner the development takes place the sooner will the hopes of the people be realized and the sooner the possibilities of the situation will be achieved. There seems now to be nothing in the way of rapid and substantial progress. Relative to the transmission of electric power Mr. Morey is quoted as saying ''I believe the time is not far distant when a water-fall of any magnitude can te maue avananie to even as great a distance as 100 miles. Tbe Willamette Mails is the greatest available water power situated near tidewater. The amount of water-power now being used is about 6000 horse-power. Outside of our own purposes, about 4000 horse power is being utilized, all of which is on free-water basis for six years longer. Construction will not commence until all the details have been settled upon, but active work at the falls will do doubt begin inside of sixty days". Teachers' Institute.
