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

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.

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

some of these days she will have a rousing
quilting bee.
Miss Minnie Daniels will go to Portland

Mrs. C. T. Howard exacts to attend the

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
