Any resident of Ore gon City who will take the pains to make a careful examination of the work Mux done tiy the company must Ih convinced that the future of the city at the lulls of the Willamette is assured. Cities of mush room and paper growth are not built as is this place, and, while to many of us the growth may seem slow it is well to War in mind that much preparation is necessary for establishing larg enterprises, and the present period is one of preparation only, which is certain to be followed by one of rapid and prosperous growth. All this takes time but all indications point to an era of rapid growth which will come al most unawares upon the unthinking pub lic who hare not considered the plans from the beginning. But not so to the men who have for long time been laying the wires which will ultimately result In the building up of the greatest manufacturing city on the coast. That the work Is being well done shows for itself. That the plans w ill not miscarry is evidenced hv the succes of those of the past.

Property One THE BE A VER CREEK ROAD Some of the energetic people of the county who are anxious to have the country devel oped and recognize the great advantage ot good roads to any section of the county have been trying to arouse a general in terest in the matter but they report an ad verse sentiment in localities where it ought not to exist. They state that parties who are owners of large farms which will be greatly benefited by the building of the proposed roads are refusing to contribute a cent although they are abundantly able. It ought to be a matter of local pride with II good citizens to take hold of the road matter and to secure good roads and those, whose places are to be directiy benefited by reason of the immediate contiguity of the road which is so located that it can be utilized at all times in conveying produce to market, should be the first to take hold of the matter and not premit those who do not own the property along the road to move .in the matter. There lias lately been a move on foot to secure the improvement of the Highland road for a couple of miles out beyond the "Maple Lane bridge and there has been con siderable interest on the part of some who will not be benefited by an increased valua tion of their lands, but others have thus far not shown that interest which they ought by reason of their prope.ty relation to the road. Good roads add greatly to the selling value of lands in their vicinity and they add to their material value to the resident who does not care to sell, but who has occasion to travel them either with pro duce which be is taking to market or in going to and from town. When therefore, as in this state and county there is no gen eral law known to be available by which roads can be permanently improved by the county and private subscription has to be employed to secure it, those who live along the road which is sought to be improved should seize the opportunity offored by the general Interest aroused and have the work done as it can be done at such a time at less exfiense to them than at any other Thiki should be a good attendance of farmers and fruit growers at the meeting of the county horticultural society on Satur day, as with the location of Clackamas county and the advantages which it pos sesses for Iruit growing it is of the utmost importance that that industry be developed tothe fullest possible extent; and the way to secure the best results in that line is by con certive effort. Thiscan best be done through the organization or the truit growers them selves who should be aided in every possible way by all who have the best good of the county at heart. There is no better way at a comparatively small outlay to increase the market value of land than by securing a large acreage of profitable fruits. Com bine this with a manufacturing district such as Is rapidly being built up here at the Falls of the Willamette, and we have at hand the forces calculated to make Clacka mas county the richest and best county in the state. The hearty support of the soci ety which meets on Saturday of this week will help very materially in bringing about that condition, and the sooner it can be done the better it will be for all parties con cerned, and none should be found hanging back to permit others to do the work which should be done br all. A cycloke on Sunday at Chicago and a holocaust on Monday, resulting in the death of a couple of score of victims, are among the casualties of the past week. The latter is one of the results cf the cheap building incident to the great show, and shows that too much care cannot be exercised by those who have enterprises like the World's Fair to look after. Xiw Yohk merchants are, some of them, i inserting gold payment clauses in their con tracts. This has been the practice with all parties loaning money in the West, and if this silver agitation continues the parties who control the money of the country are likely to adopt such a provision in all money transactions. On account of short crops the German Minister of Trade will propose a susiisiuii of duties on breadstuff. That means an added demand for American cereals, as Germany's European neighbors have little if anything to spare. TAXING MOItTtiAGKS. time, hot. It pays to strike while the iron is FOR WILDCAT MONEY. The ew York Fress which represents a safe and conservative element, says relative to the redeal of the state bai:k tax: Ex-Speaker Crisp, after prolonging hesi tancy, has broke the barriers of the silence which has shrouded bis candidacy for re election long enough to say that while he favors the repeal of the Silver Purchasing act, be is also strongly in favor of the re peal of the 10 er cent, tax on currency is sued by state banks. Representative Wilson who is the declared choice of the Adminis tration for the Ways and Means Chairman ship, has also declared that be favors removing the prohibitive tax on state bank issues. Representative McMillin, who has been selected by the administration as the parlimentary leader on the floor of the House, has expressed himself in a similar manner. These utterances by men who are to be so prominent and powerful in the organ ization and proceedings of the Fifty-third Congress will not reassure the country. The promise of wild cat currency, the sta- bility of which must depend upon the State Legislatures, will he a disastrous substitute for silver certificates issued against a real even if depreciated, metal. A Bilver dollar and a silver certificate are wertb at least the market value of the bullian each con tains or represents, and their legal tender quality has thus far made them acceptable for their face value in domestic transac tions. State bank currency would represent 'Whatever the vagaries of local statutes might define. Its real value would depend upon the humors of sentiment in Southern and Western states and upon the strength of the cry for " cheap money." Not only i for the repeal of the Sherman act, but for protection from wildcat money, the country must look to the republican minority in congress. To Whom it Mav Comi-frm : There is an effort being made, in a very curious manner, to collect all delinquent taxes on mortgages. Now as this is is a very irregular thing to do, and all those who have not paid will be taken in detail, one by one, and will have no chance to defend themselves except at great cost, it is advisable for all so situated to meet and arrange for a test case of this matter. The expense would be very small to each. All who are willing to enter into an arrangement of this kind will please send their names to Benjamin Jaggar, P. O. box 130, Oregon City, before July 18, 1, who will notify them through the papers when and where to meet. The property of B. Jagger has already been attached in a very irregular manner by a lawyer into whose hands the county court has put this matter, and the methods which he employs are very reprehensible.

The fear that has existed for months in tho minds of the citizens of Chicago found tvalUntlun toil ay in the frightful holocaust at the World's Fair, that claimed nearly two score of victims and for a time threatened destruction of the entire white city. Tim disaster was all the more dreadful be cause, of its sudden transformation from innocent flames into a iloutli-dcaling catastrophe. The stuctiire that burned was the cold storage warehouse, one of the smallest buildings of the fair but not belonging to the exposition, being used (or an exhibit of the Hercules Iron works, and where their Ice and refrigerating machines were manufactured. The building con tained a skating rink, three 120 ton ice machines, some forty barrels of linseed oil which added fuel to the (lames, and in it there was stored large (inutilities of meat, fruit, etc. That the tire was not communicated to the other World's Fair buildings is due to favorable inds. The scene of horror was witnessed by many thousands of people who flocked to the locality when the alarm was sounded, and strong men wept and women fainted as one life after another was snuffed out within full view of the multitude, but beyond the reach of human aid. ' The fire was not generally observed until about 1 :15 P. M . and within tliirtv minutes the great loss of life occurred At the first signal the firemen rushed up the huge shaft surrounding the smoke stack and when at the summit began preparations to fight the flames, which first appeared at this point. Before the hoe could be coupled a cry of horror from the crowd below caused the firemen to look down, fur the whole shaft below was encircled with flames. The men stood stolidly for a moment in full reali zation of their danger. Then one grasped the rope which had been loweied for the purpose of raising the hose, and, half sliding, half falling, reached the roof ninety feet below, in a bruised and burned condition but still alive. The crowd below became wild with excite ment and weeping women and frenzied men rushed around wringing their hands and moaning in anguish over their ina bility to render aid. Suddenly every eye was turned y ward by the preparation of a man to jump. He gave a quick, spasmodic leap and turned over and over haif a dozen times U'lore he struck the roof ninety feet below. When the body struck the roof there was a frightful crash and it bounced far up again into the air. Fium this timd on bodies rained from the s'ecple. as after the liirHt wild leup, one man after another jumped in quick suc cession as the flames closed in below and the heat became more intense. The yery horror of death riveted every eye to the Bcene, and, while men and women shouted hysterically, guards were almost powerless to keep the crowd away from danger. The spectacle became more honible as the minutes passed and tor the lust man on the cupola was reset ved the fate most horrible of all. After Ins companions leaped to appar ent death and as he was hesitating the whole shaft began to tremble and vibrate. The lone fireman understood the omi nous warning and gave a wild leap but too late. At the very instant he sprang the whole structure collapsed and this human being, quivering with life and wildly grasping for support in the frenzy of despair, was seen to drop into the lab yrinth of flame and fire and disapiear into the roaring furnace below. As a fire trap the cold storage ware house could not have been more per fectly constructed. It was 250 feet long and 150 feet wide, made of wood and cov ered with staff. The main body of the building was five stories high. In the center rose the smoke stack in the shape of a cupola 200 feet high . Its base was about thirty feet square and ninety feet up there was a balcony from which rose a tower culminating in the smoke stack where the fire was first discovered. The interior of the tower was wooden beams and framework on which staff was laid. It is supposed that the framework around the mouth of the chimney caught lire f ,1....... a . . ' and did the terrible work In literally one minute's time, A great amount of diiumgu is done to crops and the path o( the storm Is strewn with the carcasses ot animals nnd In every direction there Is nothing but wreck mid ruin, immedi ately alter the storm panned, the cries and moans of the Injured ami dying were heartrending, Willing ones begun the work ol rescue. Their wotk was sicken ing us people were found literally torn to pieces, some with legs or anus drawn, others iiilTWIng from terrible wounds with the very lilu oozing out, Many of the dead are so disfigured that they nte unrecognisable.

Seventy four tieople dead, at least five more to die, and over a hundred injured, is the result of a cyclone that started at Quimhy and ended with this awful record at l'omeroy last night. At the latter place forty are dead and over a hundred and five Mocks of rem- dence are demolished, nothing remain ing but kindling wood. Two hundred families are homeless, many having lost their all. Buisness blocks are badly damaged and the new postoffice, drug store and seven churches are completely demolished. The loss in l'omeroy will reach fully $500,000. All is chaos there .
