Hood View celebrated the Fourth of July
In a very becoming manner. Kev. Komler
of Portland delivered an address on his re
cent travels in the Holy lauds, and other
able seakers of our vicinity addressed the
audience in appropriate remarks. A good

picnic day with us; our ncigliharhood
bountifully supplied with good cooks and
well tilled larders, and you may tleend
none go home hungry.
Thanking the Kntkhmi very kindly for

Mixk, July IS. Last Sunday Rev. 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

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

convenience of the people of this place.
We think the boat should be patronized as
much as Kjssible. Strasokk.

The German Ev angelical bunday school

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.

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

not aflect our peace in tbe least, further

The hogs of some of our leading citizens
