CLACKAMASCOl'NTY THE ESTF.Kl'RISE rORKESPONO ESTSSWDEP the field. Olla Hollrm in Ihe Triumph of Just rrliiriples0ugit In a Thunder Storm Neighborhood Notes. Cam's, J"" 4. Election i l'tric display of the pus tetai" of heavy thunder an day I rnusul 1st week, in the and sharp light ning, hare cleared the air. Mnjestic Sol is driving back the clouds which so frequently of late dissolved in showers of mist or tain. Tbe day that dawned in tears may end in smiles and prove a symbol of the vic tory which Right will win at the polls. Calla believes in the ultimate triumph of sound policy and just principles, and that thee are embodied in the principles ot tbe republican party. At this early hour, men and teams though hows like women can't Tote pass by on their way to the polls. Many are the hearts that anxiously beat. Hoping a place to win; Many the sad ones to suffer defeat When the returns are in. V. W. May drove home from Oregon City during the thunder storm Saturday afternoon. He states that the lightning layed around the steel rims on the wheels cf his hack in a very alarming manner, and this with the loud frequent thunder Tendered his team almost unmanageable. It was a very uncomfortable situation for himself and companion a lady; and they were th an k f ul, though completely drenched, to reach home in salety. We have always understood that the blame for the disturbed condition of the country, both physical and political, could be laid to the democratic ad ministration ; but now we learn from a sci entific clipping from a noted paper, that Mother Earth is wabbling to and from ber proper axis, changing the climatic condi tions of each latitude! tk, when arctic ex plorers finally succeed in reaching the north pole, they may find it at Washington, I). C.! Curious, but interesting is the matter of scientific speculation. Henry il ay and family, of Latourelle Falls, have been visiting at the home of his father, W. W. May. Will Hornshuh has been obliged to repair to the M. E. hospital for further treatment. It seems doubtful whether he will ever ob tain a permanent cure. Willie has many warm friends in this community who sym pathize with bim in this attliction. Eugene Hayward went down to Portland on Saturday last for a short Tisit to bis friend, Richard Jones. John Lewis, who went on a visit to Wales arly in the spring, has reached New York on his return trip, and will soon beat borne. Henry Homshuh expects to complete his new barn this week. Some ten or twelTe men were employed in raising the frame. It is in Octagon shape, dimensions not learned. Mrs. H. T. Evans has been enjoying a abort visit with her sisters, the Misses Rog ers, ol Portland. Calla. Sandy Sifting. Sardt, June S. The weather lately has been generally good, especially for crops. Saturday a beavy thunder shower passed over here which we consider was excellent (or grass and grain. The frost has damaged tbe fruit somewhat. Decoration day was observed In grand style at Pleasant Home. A large crowd came regardless of wet weather. After dec orating tbe graves the people and Sons of Veterans fell in line and marched to the church where the people were highly enter tained by ReT. Skid more of Fairview, Hon. J. M. Long, of Portland, and Clarence Ste phens. Instrumental music, singing and recitations were the order of the day, Every thing seemed to be a grand success. Work is progressing rapidly on the Bull Bun water works. About two hundred men are employed between Sandy and Pleasant Home, digging the trench and lay ing the pipe, and about twenty teams are at -work bsuling tbe iron for tbe new bridge across the Sandy. This bridge, which is to Jiold the pipes, will be about one hundred yards further up the stream than tbe wagon bridge. Ole Mickleson, foreman, has a large force of men working on the Bull Run road wbo have done some good work. Lewis Verity will build a big new barn as soon as he baa tbe lumber. Rev. Fruth, of Damascus, preached at the Bandy school bouse last Sunday to a large audience. After the close of the exercises a special meeting was held to consider the question of building a church. The money toward building is at hand, but there is some difficulty in getting property to build on. An effort will be made to build it on the Sandy cemetery lot if the right can be got from the trustees. Mr. Calvin has the contract for sawing fifteen hundred cords of wood for the Union Meat Company at Troutdale. He is making it on trie Sandy river about four miles below town. He bas something like twenty-five men sawing wood and will raft it down the Sandy. H. Bruns bas built a new picket fence around his new residence which greatly beautifies the appearance of the place. Mrs. Charles Bailey is very sick with lung fever, ami it is said there is but little bope for ber recovery. Mrs. R. Hatch, of McMinnville, was vis iting relations and friends on tbe Sandy the past week. A petition is being circulated asking the county court to make a special appropria tion of one hundred dollars to improve the old Portland road which is in a bad condi tion at present. A special school meeting will be held the 9th of June to elect one director to succeed H. B. Chase, deceased. Reaves. Needy Nlpplngs. Uiedy, May 29. J. P. Yoder, who bas been very low with typhoid pneumonia is convalescing slowly and bis many friends hope to see bim in good health again soon. Mrs. Yoder has re-opened her school at this place, tbe school having been closed for a week on account of ber husband's sickness. Tbe contract for tbe building of the wood house for the Needy school district and for Abe painting of tbe scboolhouse has been awarded to Henry Oiterholli, be being the lowest bidder for the work. The Young People's Entertainment Soci ety of Needy, which was organUed a few weeks ago, introduced themselves to the people last Saturday evening by giving a grand free entertainment at the school house. The following program was carried through in an able manner: Opening address-by the president. Recitation Scbnlder's Tomatoes, by K. J. Osterholi. dialogue-Hospitality, by Katie Thomp son. Bertha Hesse, Tena Stuwe, Fred Slu we and Andy Thompson. Parkie Play Shooting Stars, by F. J. Osterhois and Will Stuwe. Recitation Grade's Lament, by May Haley.

Parkie Tlay Ducks for Dinner, by F. J. Osterhois and Will Stuwe. Wreath Prill, by Bertha Hess, Katie Thompson, Mertie Thompson, Emma Ack erson and Nannie Haley. Music was furnished between scenes on the organ, violin and ituilar, by Gilbert Noe, Laton Resland and J. D. Ritter. About 2iX) people composed the audience. The house was not largeenough to accom modate them, many having to stand up and many crowding around the windows on the outside to see and hear, thus repeat ing the often shown necessity of a good sited hall at Needy. Our school house is much too small to accommodate all the people of our own vicinity on any public occasion. The entertainment proved a success and the society has received invitations from other villages to visit them and reproduce the pro gram. Mrs. Cofllnberry. of Hubbard, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. B.F. Smith of this place. Mr. and Mrs. Parrish, who have been vis iting with Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, have returned to their home in Portland. ailaukee Musings. MiLWAt'KKa, June 5. Lat Monday morning about 9:30 o'clock, Mr. T. K. Baldwin's bouse caught fire from a defective flue and in a very few minutes burned to the ground. The property was insured, but it will not cover half the loss. Mr. Baldwin will rebuild sometime this summer. Sam Fbieater is a proud.father of a ten pound boy, born at eight o'clock Wed nesday morning. Mother and baby doing nicely. During the heavy thunder etorm last Saturday a gentlemen from Clackamas left his borne standing without hitching while he found shelter in the butcher shop, the horse became frightened from the loud claps of thunder and ran away smashing the wagon into kindling wood. The horse was caught two and one-half miles south on the road near the Southern Pacific railway track. The election passed off Terr quietly in this precinct. The total number of votes cast exceeded all expectations, being 236 an increase of thirty-four over the last election. Pat Byrns, wbo bought a part of the Jake Miller property, is having the old house torn down and in its place will erect two four room cottages. Cbas, Mullan has the contract. Hurrah for enterprising Pat. Miss Rosa Scott returned home Tues day after six week's visit among relatives and friends in San Francisco. Ml'LIHO MENTIONING.

A Mr. Brown, from Eastern Oregon, has a band of about twenty-five horses down that be is selling cheap. IUMA(HT8 IHVTS. About Road Mattert-A Bad Mud llole-Freaki of Lightning. Paxajhtk, June 5.

The election at this place passed of! very quietly notwithstanding you could see on the faces of the republicans a strong determination to win, and the count showed the result of their work was very satisfactory, there being fully 20 per cent. gain over two years ago. We will have a jolly ratitlcaiien some day next week. The republican club will meet Saturday evening to make the necessary ar rangements. The republicans were never more Jubilant and it undoubtedly will be the grandest meeting ever held here. The demo-pops have got it where the chicken got the axe. Listen to their tale of woe! They'll never bring up their straw pile money in the future, you know. The cloud of populism that has hung over our state for the past year has passed awav, and with the passing away of free tradeism pros perity will return. Onr or tiikJoi.lv Kkpuhmcans.
