i CLACKAMAS COUNTY THE ESTERrFlSE CORRESrOM) ENTS SWEEP THE FIELD. SSonool (ironuda to bf Reantiflfd Lighted Strwts Trachem to Meet Interesting Notes. Caxht, Not. 14. It is quite task to writ a batch of nr wa for lb pap r wlir n nothing, happens in town. No ntarriafes, no deaths, no births, no sickness, no runa way, no lights, no drunks nothing at all. And yet something must be sent to the pa per. Everybody looks for the news from their respective places. We will write what little there is to be told. The Clsckamas County Teachers' Assocl- - ation will hold its next regular monthly meeting In Tenby on Saturday the 24th. A larjw meeting is expected. The council at its laM meeting passed the - ordinance ordering eiv'ht street lights to be - put up in town. The lamps were ordered from Portland last week and on last Mon day the boys put them up. Hereafter we will walk in the light. Mr. Deyoe has bought out Mr. Floyd, the butcher, and intends to run the shop at the same place Mr. Floyd did. A revival meeting is in progress at ihe M. K. church. Wesley Riggs and Mr. Carlton went to the mountains last Tuesday on a hunting tour. D. W. Howard has received a car load of large tiling. They are intended for walls in wells. It is much cheaper to put a wall in well with this tiling, and just as good it mot better than with stone or brick, as there - - ti no rave-In to them. Mr, Howard has for sale cheap. Mr. A. Kocher and family, of Marks Prairie, visited George Knight's family last Sunday. -' John Alexander, formerly of this place, " "tut lately llring at Bartlett Springs, Califor nia, after and absence ol over nine years has returned to spend short time here. Mrs. Dr. Fenton, of Portland, visited her sister, Mrs. Porter, last Sat unity. Mrs. Harris haa moved into one of Mr. Hodge's houses. . Mr. Floyd has moved into Judge Wait's bouse, McCann and family have left town for parts unknown. As former suggestion of ours has been realized in putting up street lamps, we will venture another: We have one of the finest school houses in the country, and it stands on a very sightly place, but out on the com mon. It would cost but a small amount to have the grounds fenced in and shade trees planted. We suggest that the council take the matter in hand and see what can be ione in regard to it. We think the council could do no better In the way ot beautifying our town than to make an appropriation in that direction. If it cannot be done with the city lunds then the council perhaps can suggest some other way. OSWEGO NOTES. House Bnrglariied Fish Net Thieves-Hunters and Crack Shots. Oswego, Nov. 7. Halloween passed off quietly here. The boys played but few pranks and they are very wilted ones. There was a dance at Prosser's hall and quite a number gathered and tripped the light fan- tastic till the we snia' hours. Council No. 2 of the American Protective Association was visited on Saturday night hy the editor ol the Portlander and another gentlemen from Portland. I have been told that this order has the largest mem bership of any lodge in Oswego. Mr. Henry Gaus, who lives on a tine fruit farm near Oswego, is the crack shot in this community, at least so says his neighbor, Mr. Mettetal. Mr. Metettal, who is a na tive of sunny France, says that Mr. Gaus went in his vineyard to shoot the birds that were destroying the grapes and he fired his gun at ze little bird, but by gol instead of bitting ze bird lie hit one window down stairs and one window up stairs and break all ze glass out. "Oh,'' exclaimed Mr. Mettetal, "it was von fine, von diable of a shot." The hunting party that went with J. R. Hays to the coast returned Monday. They report having a good time, killed two deer, one panther and a qaantity of small game, A. W. Shipley, W. S. Smith, F. E. David son and a number of others had a deer chase Saturday at the bead of Sucker lake. The bounds found the deer but none of the boys got a shot. Saturday night while Robt. Hoyt, who lives alone in a little house near the water tank on the S. P. R. R., was in Portland some one broke into his bouse and took two pair of blankets, a comforter, a valise containing a set of bag pipes that Mr. Hoyt prized very highly as they were a present from an old friend, a deed to a lot of land and other valuable papers, also some mutton, cheese, and two loaves of bread. A rather hard looking customer was arrested on sus picion and brought before Justice Haines, but there seems not to have been sufficient evidence to bold bim and he was discharged. There was an exciting runaway here Mon day evening. Albert Tufts, a farmer who lives near Oswego, was returning home from Portland and had stopped at the lum ber yard. He left his team standing in the road while be went over in the yard and talked to Mr. Mintie. While he was engaged the five o'clock south bound - train came along at which the horses took fright and ran up the road at a breakneck rate of speed. They had gone but short distance when the wagon upset and came uncoupled. The horses continued in their mad flight until near the alley in the rear - of G. W. Prosser's residence when the wagon tongue broke and the borses were thrown violently to the ground. One of the borses received a serious cut en the face from which several pieces of bone were taken. The wagon and harness was badly wrecked. The injured horse will recover. The fishermen have been losing fish al- - roost every night for a week. The boys watched for the thieves with the result that last night two men were caught going through a net belonging to A. C. Walling and Wm. Bullock. A complaint was lodged against tbeni and warrants issued for their arrest by Justice Haines. At this writing only one has been caught.
