CLACKAMAS COUNTY THE ENTERI'IISE f ORKESPOM) ET8 SWEEP THE FIELD. Boar That Did the Hunting Saw will Improvements Snwfss fnl Debating Soclt tj. 8avdt, Sov. 17. The weather we have bad for the Inst four weeks baa been just what the farmers want to do their fall work in. It is claimed by many old settlers that this fall was the best ever known. Flower of all kinds were blooming and ern strawberries were in bloom. The road In some places was good to travel on. Messrs. Withman & Swabb bought a r steam thresher last year, but on account of not having a successful run they were com pelled to give the machinery back to the implement company, who sent men out here from Portland last week and got it. They encountered considerable trouble In getting the seperator and engine over the road. They broke the axle of the generator between here and Pleasant Home, and also came near wrecking the engine. It took then) a week to get back to Portland. LaM week an exciting hear hunt was had within our city limits. The bear bad been making himself quite at home for some time and hail visited all the orchards in this vicinity and helped himself to all kinds or fruit, and also killed a calf for Mr. Ganten bine. A hunting party was rganiied and started out in pursuit of old bruin, armed with all kinds of weapons. One of the hunters soon scared bini up and fired at the bear without any effect. After several in effective shots the bear gave chase to the bonier, who, to save himself, climbed a tree and having Bred all his lead at the bear cut the buttons off his clothes to load his gun with. By this time the bounds came np and chased the bear for half an hour, when it came to Mr. Kapper's place, who gave bini a shot from his rifle, killing his bear hip. When dressed he weighed 3m pounds. This was one of the liveliest bear hunts ever bad here. Mr. R. Gantenbine has purchased a three- borse power engine to run his creamery, seperator and other farm machinery. J. H. Weaver intends to put in a scroll saw and turning lathe and other wood work ing machinery, to run in connection with bia sawmill. This is a good idea, and wilt be a benefit to this vicinity. Work has been resumed at the Bull Run bead works, where they are doing some - concrete work and finishing np. The water was tamed on and it is said came out all right at ML Tabor, but it is reported the reservoir bursted. Mr. Beagle has a contract for clearing ten acres of land for J. N. Foster for ViO. The second meeting of the High Forest debating society was held Saturday, Nov. 17, and a crowd the size of which was never seen before. A great deal of interest was manifested by all present. The question, "Resolved, That Railroad is or More Bene fit Than a Good Wagon Road," was debated. After four hours of lively discussion it was decided in favor of the negative. The ques tion for next meeting is, "Resolved, That Intemperance Causes More fullering Than War." The affirmative is beaded by Ed Bruns and the negative by John Epperson. A great time and a large crowd is expected. Mt. Pleasant Views. Mt. Pleasast, Nov. 17. Miss Chase's school is progressing nicely weare Informed by patrons who have lately taken a peep into the realm where Minerva and Clio preside. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Moore were visiting Geo. Webster and family, of Clackamas, last week. In their absence Miss Marv Brown kept bonis as cheerful as the cricket on the hearth for her nephews, Will and John. Mrs. 6en. Hendrickson's wounded hsnd is doing nicely. We dare say that none of us will break the tenth commandment about the same mishap. Last Wednesday week Mrs. David Mc Arthur and daughter, Isabel, of New Era, were visiting Mrs. J. 8. McCord and daughters. At the present moment the social fetes are quiescent. If we ever wish to reach the apex we must not cease to keep pace with the swim of the city. Mrs. Cornelia Myers is beingcarefully at tended by Dr. Norns, with Mrs. John Hendrickson installed as nurse. We all hope for a speedy recovery. This of all seasons of the year brings back respectful memories of the late beloved lady, Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, who wore the honors of official life with such womanly grace and modest dignity. Gardens are again bright with their chosen flower the chrysanthemum. Among the ladies here who have s hand some chrysanthemum show we find Mrs. - Thomas and her near neighbor, Mrs. Rus sell excel. We would there should be a wedding ever an snon to diversify the columns from Mt. Pleasant. Perhaps ''Barkis isn't willin." In that case silken fetters would be torn asunder. The granger ball at New Era was quite well attended by our people. Miss Mary Brown's flowers are still bloom ing profusely, especially rose bushes are crowned with buds. We may bespeak ad miration for Oregon's balmy climate since the frost has not as yet despoiled the "last Tose of summer." Tomorrow is the day set apart for the turkeys at the Lawton farm to pay the debt for essaying to pip their shells a twelve month or so ago. W. E. Johnson expects to be enjoying the beaatifnl sunshine of American Italy very soon. We hope tbst be will not forget this land of golden pumpkins wben he reaches the "apples or gold." We wish to say that illness prevented your correspondent from contributing last week. Vox Humahia. Logan ij-la. Logah, Nov. 12. In spite of the interest manifested in the spelling at district No. 4 last Tuesday quite a number of the spellers apparently became sleepy, for tbey dropped -off at the word mattress. The great event of the week, if not of the .month, was the dunce at Grange hall. The weather was faultless, the crowd large, the floor smooth as some of the masculine ele ment proved to the detriment of their dig nity, and the supper as delirium as only grangers ran make them. The debate was well attended, considering the effect of tht attraction of the previous night. The question was won by the attlrm ative. The program was short but Inter esting. The membership fee was reduced from twenty Ave to ten cents, ladies free. The subject chosen for next Saturday even ing was "Resolved, That a Ilsh-rag is More Useful than a Rroom." A few thoughtful minds regret that a more instructive sub ject was not selected. Miss Katie Schiittel ts one of the new pupils at district No. M. There Is a slight agitation ol a night school at Logan. It is s good sign when young people show an Interest in education. Mr. Fred Brown started for Marlon county Sunday, taking his sister home. L.

Louah, Nov. lft. Some of our people who knew Mrs. Fulluin, of Kedland, personally, feel greatly shocked at her suicide. She ! gashed her side with suicidal intent some time before she ended her life by cutting her throat with a raior. Mrs. Wolter Is very sick and Mrs. Reed ts recovering. Clem Clark received a severe cut on the knee cap by the slivering of a piece of steel from a wedge which he was driving In a log. The Germans held protracted meeting in Logan church this week, which was well attended by our German neighbors. The grange held its regular monthly meeting yesterday which is always inter esting to its members. The Telleson boys gave a danrs Friday night, which was heartily enjoyed by those present. The shooting match at Nea kirk's was in tensely interesting to the best shots who triumphantly earned home line turkeys. The dance at night at the same place was of equal interest to both sexes. Though Newkiik's dance was a rival at traction Saturday night, the debate was well attended and created much mifth. The Logan Leader, the organ of the society, was full of the laughable nothings common to such publications. The subject chosen for debate next Saturday is "Resolved, That a Miser is More ol a I'etriment to Society than a Spendthrift" Leaders, 0. D. Rob- bins for the affirmative and M. L. Hampton for the negative. Robert Ginther will organize a night school at Logan district No. 4, tomorrow, Nov. 19. I'iabu. CASTS CUPPINGS.

Farmers, as a rule, in this vicinity planted a large acreage to potatoes. The crop, as reported, is all that could be desired in point ol quality and yield. The shipment is light, as manv are holding for better prices. It seems as if the overwhelming republi can victories so recently gained must restore courage and confidence, and matters great and small move on to the establisment of better times.
