Bench' elor, a German Lutheran minister of Pen- trespassing on yourvaluable time and space, J ,nill, prwM.ned , ,he informed church to but as I have so long been furnishing "News Notes from Hood View" I would now like to introduce to your many readers this new place. I say new, for the place was only two years old the spring just past " Hood View" is the name of a church, and is situated on the foot hills of Pleasant Hills in the southwestern part of Clackamas county about one mile and a half from each Washington and Yamhill county lines; is three miles from Sherwood on the Portland and Willamette Valley railroad, and two and a half miles from the Willamette river; also two miles from Wilsonville post office, one mile from school, one half mile from the Pleasant Hill cemetery, and overlooks a beautiful plot of farming country. It de rives its name Hood View from the mag nificent view presented of Mt. Hood, and were you here you could not help but ad mire the lovely sight of that snow covered mountain. Hood View church was founded bv Rev. Jerome Barber and his wife Dora, of Michi gan. Ibey were as it seemed just sailing over the world In search of a nice spot on which to alight and build a nest. Having alighted here in Decemoer '91, they com menced a protracted meeting in the Pleasant Hill school bouse, then the place of worship, and conducted a series of meetings, pro claiming the Gosiel night and day for a Jtemi of six weeks. At the end of this time there were in this immediate vicinity a suf ficient number of good and faithful Chris tians to combine and form a church of the Congregational faith. Pars were circu lated and soon a part of the money was raised and a contract let to build a church. Its locaiity a part of the old Thompson farm waa decided on by a majority of the members. The present owner of the farm, Mr. Cook of Salem a very devoted mem ber of the Friends church of Newberg came to the front and gave ground enough for a parsonage and a very beautiful fir grove which lies across the road from the church and parsonage grounds and affords plenty ot room lor picnics. In June, 192, a large crowd assembled to witness the laying of the corner stone, and the first picnic was enjoyed in the new grounds. In the fall a still larger crowd gathered together to bear the dedicatory sermon which was delivered by Rev. Mr. Clapp of Portland-Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Barber, Rev. Roraier and others assisting in the dedicatory exercises. Tbe new church then floated high and dry of debt, and Mr. and Mrs. Barber, and all who had kindly assisted in this grand work were justly proud of the effect of their united labor which bad cost them in good United States gold coin the sum of fit- teen hundred dollars besides months of toil Jreely given. The church was complete. Four lamps swung from the ceiling, two hundred and nineteen chairs occupied tbe seating space, tbe aisles and pulpit were carpeted, hand some chairs were in the pulpit, and a lovely Bible rest, secretary's table, stove and other fixtures completed the out lit Then began in our new house of worship services twice every Sabbath, Sunday school, prayer meetings Thursday evenings, young people's meetings Tuesday evenings, and as often as Providence will permit extra reli gious meetings, all under the guidance of a large congregation. Qaite a number of people in our vicinity have been on the sick list for the past two weeks with some disease we do not know what, but it has not proved fatal to any one yet. Mr. Ogles, our music teacher, will soon take a vacation on account of the coming harvest. Frei Heft and John Huffman left last Tuesday for Eastern Oregon with the Inten tion of doing harvest work. Valentine Bolauder has purchased a new Osborn binder. Mr. Shannon and sons will soon have a large kiln of brick to burn. Mr. and Mrs. F. Fosberg of Oregon City were guests at Charles Hettman's last Sunday. Quite a ideasant surprise party was given at the Mink post office residence on Thurs day evening, July l.'Sth, in honor of W. F. C. Moehnke's Ifth birthday. He lives at Tu alatin, but was here visiting his sisters at the time. A very pleasant evening was sent in playing cards, music ami singing. Refreshments were served at 12 o'clock. Those present were Misses Julia Kamm Bolander, Messrs. Win. Shriver, John A. rath, Grace Weidner, M. Flora Mochnke, M. Moebnke, Frank K. Linn, John Fisher, F.

Wills and wife left on the Northern Pacific railroad Saturday for a two months visit in Wisconsin. They will stop at the World's Fair on their return. Multnomah county Is doing some good work on our road. They have graded and graveled the entire road from the Clacka mas county line to Sellwood, the road run ning east and west past this burg. The corner stone of the new Congrega tional church of this place, located one third of a mile southeast of the station on the height, was laid Friday evening. The ceremonies were conducted by Rev. G. A. Rock wood ol this place and Rev. Mr. Webb of Sellwood. Many people were in attend ance. The building when completed will cost $2000. Size 2Kx53 with steeple. Shind ler & Co. have the contract for building it. Some one in this neighborhood has turned his attention to killing dogs, three having been killed last week. We know times are hard, but the dog killer ought to And some thing else to do. Clackamas Chatter. Clackamas, July 18. The farmers of this vicinity are busy haying. Strawberries are a thing of the past. Ow ing to the low price a great many were left to go to waste on the vines. Mrs. McVicker and Mrs. Howlett who have been quite ill, are slowly improving. The bicycle craze has struck this place tijwiNvtu.a, July lit. Thinking that perhaps some of the readers of the Kntkk mis wmiiu ukv to Know v. nut kttul of a place Wilsonville Is I will try to describe it as nearly correct as I can. Wilson ia a thriving little village sllunled on the west bank of the Willamette river about 12 miles south of Oregon City, If has a population of about ft, and boasts of a large dry goods store of which Henry Miley ia the enterprising proprietor, The yield of 40 bushel or wheat, 4A of oats and 200 ol potatoes to the acre Is not unusual in the Immediate vicinity of the village, while other crops, such as apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, strawberries, hay, hops, etc., yield in like great proorlion. To the careful observer Wilsonville will justly seem the Eden of the Willamette valley, surrounded aa it is by beautiful fields in high cultivation. Now, when the grain is ripening, all about here has a very attractive appearance. The forests too, the pride ol the neighborhood, with the tall firs looming up in all their majesty, add vastly to the grandeur and beauty of the scenery, But 1 must not attempt a further description as I cannot do Justice to the place and its thrifty and Intelligent people. Hon. John Kruse's large barn was com pleted on Friday, July 14th, thus breaking the record of barn building In this vicinity. Fur four carpenters to frame and put up complete in twenty-one days a barn of such large dimensions was no light task, and J. li. McMillan, under whose able and etli- cieut supervision the work was done, la de serving ol no small amount of credit. Mr. McMillan moved from the Kruse res idence to that of C. T. Tore, where he has been employed to build a hop house, double dryer, 2iiiS0 feet, a ware house, 40HI0 feet, a palace for hogs, and a Chinese dwelling house, all to be finished on the outside with rustic. This, certainly, does not look like hard times. The fact of the matter is, times, to the energetic farmer, are just as Hour isbiug as they ever were. Haying commenced in Wilsonville the beginning of last week ami is now being pushed as vigorously as the weather will permit. The yield is about an average. Frank M. Kruse who recently underwent a serious surgical operation is expected to return home from Portland the latter part ol the present week. Bishop Seely has added another to his list of farm necessities in the shape of a bran new cart. He, with wife and baby, could be seen on the streets of Wilsonville today testing the new purchase. The steamer Toledo, of the KelloggTrans portation Company, has been chartered to run daily trips between Portland and Mis sion landing, which will add greatly to the convenience of the people of this place. We think the boat should be patronized as much as Kjssible. Strasokk. IM7eNSe STOCK OF Spring i and i Summer i Millinery JUST ARRIVED DIRECT FROM THE EAST.

The German Ev angelical bunday school held their annual picnic last Thursday in Ihman's grove. An Interesting program was rendered by the young folks.

Not knowing the danger he allowed them to walk in too far and they became mired in the muddy bottom. In struggling to free themselves they fell over on their sides and sank, making it necessary for a man to hold up their heads to prevent their drowning. It was a very difficult task to get them out, but several men succeeded In doing so after an hour's hard work. Ethel, aged three years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C.

WILSON A COOK hard, and it is surely a great thing as some Kevs. Mr. and Mrs. Barber, the founders of of the riders claim it to be a good muscle Hood View. In the fall of 1892 it was decided to erect tbe parsonage, and by Christmas a very neat two-story frame building was com pleted, paint, paper and all. The next thing In line will be a fence to enclose the church and parsonage. Mr. and Mrs. Barber are engaged to labor for us in church work for the next five years, and we all join in wishing them much happiness in this their new field of labor. So what but only a few years ago was an old rundown farm is now all clear; about 150 acres are in grain with a Congregational church and parsonage looming up at one end of it. The nearest saloon is at Bher "wood, a distance of three" miles, and does not aflect our peace in tbe least, further than the thought of bow much it destroys developer. The hogs of some of our leading citizens are allowed to run the streets of Clackamas notwithstanding we have a law prohibiting hogs running at large. i'rof.
