THE A'EIV I'E.iH.
Refore another issue of the EsTKRPKtet
greets its readers old father time will have
"rung out the old and ring in the new year."
Htt will have passed into history and lsstl
will have made its salutatory bow to its vast
audience, and the hours that make its
record will be chasing each other down the
Might of time. We welcome the new year
because "Hope springs eternal in the human
breast." No matter what the age, man
looks forward with a degree of eagerness
and expectancy to the future from which he
expects better things than the past has
abiiwered upon him. The retrospective
view a not usually a pleasant one to most
persons. The clouds are apt to predomi
nate; the mistakes stand out with glaring
distinctness obscuring the successes or
dwarfing them in comparison. Yet, if we
would make the most of the new rear,
which we hope is to bless us abundantly,
we must take the retrospective view of the
year just closing to enable us to profit by its
mistakes and avoid the rocks and shoals
upon which our lile boat struck while we
were gliding swiftly dow n the channel of
1-fri. The coming year will bear us along
the stream with ever increasing speed, and
the experience and lessons of the past year
are a necessity to the success of the one
upon whi h we are entering. If the rud
der be not held by hands that have learned
and profited by experience the lessons
gained by bard blows in the past are use
less, and the disasters of 1893, are likely to
be worse than those of its predecessor.
Rut with the "glad new year" almost
drawing upon us, let us not take a gloomy
pessimistic riew or the future, but look for
the brightest and best thifigs that it has in
store for us. To a great extent life is what
we make it and if the new year is ap
proached w ith a gloomy countenance its dark
aide is most certain to be turned toward the
lerson who seeks it, while he who wills to
see blessings and sunshine, will fl nd them
everywhere, and be favored with more of
the good things of life because of his happy
temperament.
The coming year promises to be a happy
one tor Oregon City and Clackamas county,
owing to the culmination of plans for its
improvement which have been for some
time perfecting. There is every indication
that the coming year will lie one of the
most prosieroiis in the history of the place,
nd that it w ill lie marked by a more rapid
growth than ever before. This means
material pros)erity to the people living
here, and it is to all a matter of congratula
tion, that the factors bringing about this
forward movement are such as result in per
manent growth and prosperity, being in
no sense a boom inflation. The Kntf.b
phise therefore wishes its subscribers a
Happy Ne
V'ear with the assurance Hint i
the year is full of promise to all, so that the
laborer, the tradesmen and the manufacturer
may be assured of improved opportunities
and material prosperity.
ABOUT ELECTRIC 110 ADS.
The subject ol electric roads, city and
stiburtian, is just now agitating and interest-!
iug our citizens and this item taken from j
the United States Investor,
ptlUllSimii Ul
Iioston will le of interest as showing the
rapidity with which the system is coming
into favor arid being extended. It Bays:
"As an instance of what is being done in
(Ids line, our attention has recently been
arrested by the announcement that the elec
tric line from Worcester to Spencer, Mass.,
a distance of over fourteen miles, has
proved such a success that extensions will
be made to Southbridge and other places.
The line from Natick, Mass., to Farmingham
will be extended to Ashland, and event
ually to Welesley, We mention these facts
(imply to ahow how rapidly the country
roada are-being utilized by electric rail
ways. It i( predicted that in time, and po
(ibly at io very remote day, the populous
portion of tli country will be simply
network of such linos, 1 is also predicted
that in time th riRlit will r granted to
electric street railways to curry light freight,
A move of this character, it can readily be
perceived, would insure very large, tn -
crease in revenue to ueh roads, wlialever
might l the eonscinencea to tin) steam
lines,"
The pivgs recently made in developing
electrical machinery and its application to
practical results makes it rntiire prohlemati -
cal only lii one way. No on can tell (lie
otetit to which it will b applied in theeoii
iluet of theevorv ilny affairs of business, hut

. . . . . , .
! nay to aiu (ireauy in solving in nii.cn
vexed road problem, width is always a
buruingoueMion in Orecon. The obstacle
ofdistam-e in transmission is happily
com. Can roads 1 built and oratet
in rural districts cheap enough to warrant
their instruction? This la a matter that
can only b determined by trial, but the
uniform success of road heretofore built
both east and west warrants the citizens of
Oregon City in their belief that with the
Willamette Kails at their feet to supply
cheap power for operating roads this eitv
can be made a proserou electric road cen
ter with branches leading into the country
in every direction.

New Ea, Dec. 27, lf:r2. During the past
week Old Boreas nmde a descent upon New
Era, and wrapt her it. aboat eight inches ol
his beautiful snow. The mild Chinook came
siieedily to our rescue and removed the
snow, leaving a fair amount of mud, which
the average Wehfuot prefers rather than a
combination of both snow and mud.
Warner Grange held a regular meeting at
their hall in New Era on the 24th.
The scholars of New Era public school,
with the assistance of their teachers and
friends, furnished a charming display of
talent on the occasion of their Christmas

New Era is becoming an important ship

There is now j

of rail for the reason that much lower rates
can be had. Here is a fine opening for some
