Vmskiis, April 16.-X meeting was held at K. of L. hall at Highland lust Saturday lor the purpo.se of organizing a republican lub; but only a temporary organisation was made, as no speaker was present from ' Oregon Oily, much to the disappointment or a large crowd. Mr. Schrader, populist, and Mr. Jewell, republican, debated for about two hours, when the crowd adjourned to meet two weeks from last Friday night. Harry Gard mad flying trip to Oregon City last Saturday. J. Gard is to teach two months term of school in tha new school district just formed by taking a part of Clarkes district No. 82. A this will be John's first attempt at teach ing wa wish him success. We understand we are to hare a brass band in the near future, and that Jack Ringo, J. L. Card and Lucitie Stout of Clarkes, and others from Highland, are to be the musicians. Rev. McLain, from Oregon City, preached in Timber Grove school house last Sunday with good attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Grace and Liztie went to Portland last Thursday expecting to return on Monday. Mrs. Lottie Hoffman of Portland is visit ing her sister, Mrs. J. J. Gard. Mrs. A. Stout is intending to start for Yaquina Bay to join her husband who has been there all winter. They intend to make it their future home. Mr. Cbristensen died at ten o'clock this morning.

Wednesday. , Auu, joint discussion, the question being, Re solved, That a protective taritl', as advocated by the republican party, is the boat taritl' policy Tor the good of the people. The speakers on the atllrmative Dr. Kerrin and C. H. Pye of Oregon City. On the negative W. A. Starkweather and T. H. Hankins. The tiueidion was ably discussed on both sides, but especially on the alternative. Dr, Kerrin showed by (acts beyond doubt that legislation in any form against a protective tariff has been followed by a panic in busi ness. Altogether it was a victory lor the republican side. Ml'LINO Xl'MNliS. Road Work and Dtucunlon-Delng of the Neighborhood. MOLALU MOOTLNUS. Spring Work and Crop Prospect TalklngCamp Me ting-Democracy Losing Prestige. Molalla, April 16. Farming has been going on rather slow; fall wheat is growing nicely and the fruit crop is not injured to date. Peaches, plums, cherries and pears are in full bloom, w hile the early apples are just putting out colors. The roads have dried up betwwen mire holes, but some of these holes will yet bold a four horse team pretty fast. Born, to the wife of Kdward K. Dart, on the 13th inst., a ten pound son. All doing well. The banner democracy precinct of Upper Molalla will have to hand over the broom to the populists this election. Already the "calamaties" are nearing one hundred Cleveland is not in it. k The annual M. E. Sonth camp meeting commences on the 15th of Jyne at their camp ground at Teasel creek. No "Taritl bone" will take this time as a Tote catcher even among clod hoppers. Why, Mr. Editor, you just ought to see the farmer looking tor lite issues. While they are not particularly after blood, they are craving littie flesh and fat. Thrown into this political couldron we bear so much about "beginning to boil." It is a little particular now what kind of soup we gulp down for straight goods. Bones alone have become skeletons. Mcliho, April IS. Last week C. T. How ard se nt several days with a force ol men on the old rock hill. The most ol the work done was corduroying. While w were en gaged in the road work, several people ex pressed their opinions in regard to road work. Among the most important was the expression " I would build a road if I only made two rods a year." The speaker forgot to consider the extent ot his remark. Two rods a year would require 100 years to com plete one mile of road. Several farmers are making preparations to plant new hop yards. Kellogirs will plant twelve acres and Mike Mulvey four acres. Mary Mulvey is visiting friends in Port land. The Mulino orchestra spent a pleasant day Sunday with the Mack family. Mike Mulvey and Ed. Boman have rented the the hop yard of Erickson Bros, for one year. Lillie Knotta spent last week in the metropolis. A free dance will be given at Tain's next Saturday night. Chas. Pen broke made a business trip to Salem last week. Little Vee Jones, the eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Jones, has four Bice quilts that she pieced herself, and some of these days she will have a rousing quilting bee. Miss Minnie Daniels will go to Portland this week to work. C. E. Knotta received the copy-right cer tificate for a waltz composition Friday even- j tng. The title of the piece is " Webfcot WalU." D. C. Ball is employed on the Pain farm. Mrs. C. T. Howard exacts to attend the grange at Milwaukee this week. Damascus Doings, Damasci's, April Kt. Farmers are push' lug their work. They have a good part of their spring cropping done. Some of our farmers have been having bad luck with their horses, Mr. Freedolph has had two sick horses for some time, and is obliged to hire a team to do his spring work. Mr. Hover has a good horse sick. Mr. Metlilas had a valuable horse drop dead In tko plow a few days ago from siitl'oculion. The horse bad been sick, but they supimsed it was well again and commenced working it with the above result. The farmers of the community have been circulating and signing a petition to have sheep kept up in their pasture Instead of running at large. The sheep In question have the trick of being very breachy, along with numerous other accomplishments, Mrs. Nevel from near Gresham has been visiting Mr. Koyer's folks. The reading circle met again Friday night and elected Miss Hicinbothem president, W. E. Foster vice president, Oscar Ilreith aupt secretary, and U. E. Lovelace treas urer. They have eighteen members en rolled, with the prospect of more soon. The work to be taken up is history, penman ship and algebra. A number of the Damascus boys have been subpienaed to appear in Oregon City at coHrt this week, and they wonder what for; at least (hat's what they claim. The young men are trying to get up a Da mascus base ball nine. It is rather ditllcult for them to obtain suitable grounds. Last Tuesday evening the writer attended a very pleasant party in honor of Willie Mavbee's 18th birthday. The evening was spent In singing and listeuihg to instru mental music, after which those present were served with excellent refreshments. After these all started for home at a late hour feeling well repaid for the trouble of traveling over the bad roads. GREHT REDUCTION IN- CLOTH IW MY G Boys' $1.60 and $2.00 Suits for 00c. and $1.00.

Prints, Shirtings and Muslins cheaper than over before. Highest Price Paid for Produce. CARUS Cl'LLIN'GS. Bead Work Being Done Thrown From a Horse and Injured. Cabis, April 17. The weather and roads prove a fertile topic for grumblers. Frank Jaggar, our supervisor, has called out a crew to work on the road this week, and we look for an improved condition. John Jones went down to Portland last Wednesday as a delegate to the Presbytery. One or two days later while returning from town late in the afternoon, his horse took fright, and Mr. Jones was thrown, receiving a fractured rib and other injuries. After some delay he reached home, but will be laid aside from work for a week or so. Several of our young people attended the spelling match at Beaver Creek school house last evening. On the first trial Miss Hattie Hunter spelled all the rest down. A second trial showed Mary Hornshuh to be the vic tor. Cams is well sustained when ber citi zens go abroad, and may be proud of her spellers as of her politicians. The third quarterly meeting of the M. E. church will take place in Graham s church Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 29. Calla. Beaver Creek Breezes. Beaver Cheek, April 16. Every thing is booming, especially politics. Rut il'svery hard to get money with which to pay taxes. The debating club adjourned last Satur day evening to meet as early as possible next fall. Miss Minnie Bluhm and Miss Lizzie Hen ricy left our school last Monday to attend the Henricy school. The Beaver Creek Justice society has ex tended its meetings to once in two weeks. As the people are getting busy not very many attend. Geore Traylor, who brought a load of gro ceries out for Dr. Thomas last Saturday, re ports the road in good condition. The spelling school is still going on. Last Monday night we had quite a good time. Hetty Hunter and Miss Mary Hornshub came out as the best spellers. I ought to say that it was not Lulu Hayward that spelled us down the last time. That was my mistake. Park Place Pointers. Park Place, April 17. There was a sa cred concert at the church Sunday evening i which was well attended. It was given un der the auspices of the Young People's Christian Endeavor 8ociety. Recitations and songs were well rendered. Messrs. James and John Lamar started the first of this week to Columbia county, hy way of St. Helens, for the purpose of looking op witnesses for making final proof on a homestead. The Abernethy Republican club met in Mink Musings. Mirk, April 17. William Evans has his shingle mill running in full blast. Four men turn ont from twelve to fifteen thou sand per day. George McCord furnishes the power with his small engine. Mr, Evans intends to alter the mill this summer and run it by water power which will require one man less. He will undoubtedly succeed in bis business as he has a fine quality of celar on bis farm and an unlimited amount of it. He has now on the market one hun dred and sixty-five thousand rirst class shin gles which be will sell at a low figure for cash at the mill. Carl Studeman is talking of erecting a large barn on his farm. The taxpayers of this neighborhood seem to be terribly aroused over the high taxes which they have to pay, as many farmers who had but a few dollars to pay In past years, this year have over thirty dollars. How to raise it is a mystery to them. The Beaver Creek mock court will hava a contest with the Mink mock courton Thurs day evening. It will be their last meeting for this season. Two years ago at the election Beaver Creek went people's party, and the reason was because no republican speakers visited this precinct, so they all got stuck on Joe Waldrop's speaking. Now if the republic can candidates will pay this place a visit this year and tell the voters why they are republicans it will bring these voters back home again where they belonged two years ago. A good many have already seen the folly of joining the populists and are work ing for the republican ticket while others are almost ready to return. Charles Moehnke was back on bis farm last Sunday and reports that he is getting along as well as expected with bis logs on the Molalla. He thinks within ten days he will have them all down to the mouth of the river. Logan Locals. Looa, April 15. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were thrown from the carnage which upset a week ago. Mrs. Johnson had her face bruised and Mr. Johnson received a lame shoulder. Both are well now. Jacob Gerber bought two head of cattle this week, and Miss Hampton bought a cow of Cbas. Wooden boe family will move to California. Logan school observed arbor day and sev eral visitors witnes-sed the exercises. Miss Reed is borne for a week from Mon mouth normal. Mtsr. Campbell and Hankins had an interesting debate on the causof the pres ent hard times t Ugtn school house last night. About forty were present. Mr. Royer delivered a sermon at Logan church today.

James Matheson has been laid up for the past few weeks with the quinsy, but is some better at pres ent. Pete Rinearson one of Gladstone's re spectable citizens has moved back to bis ranch about one and one-half miles west of this place. Nathan Tingle, who it will be remembered was suddenly stricken down with a par aletic stroke a short time ago is slightly re covering, t Winnie Dauchey has been quite sick, but is thought to be some better. Gladstone always has some enterprise on foot. Look out for the new picket fence along the motor line.

Corkehposdejit. Snnnyslde Hayings. Sunkyside, April 18. Farmers are plow ing and seeding in spite of such awful weather. Trees are blooming and fall grain looks fine. Our school commenced on the second with Mr. Glass as teacher. There are over fifty scholars and more to go. We expected a new school house, but it must he that some thing occurred to disappoint the school board as we don't see one. Mr. Johnson has bis store almost done. He will keep the post ollice there. Mr. Sumner and wife are just returned home from the M. E. conference. Mr. Bowerman, our minister, will preach another year at our church. We are sorry to see that some of the con verts have already become backsliders. Mr. Johnson lost a fine horse two weeks ago.
