BOARD OF TKADE WORK- That all parts of Clackamas county ma; be connected with the county seat by good roads is one of the important duties that the Oregon City board ol trade should at tend to. Jood roads attract business to the towns like railroads do to the cities. Ore gon City, with its growth as a manufactur ing center, should be the natural market for all the products of Clackamas county. The central location and topography of the coun try favor the centralization of the trade of the county in this city, but M ultnomab be ing more progressive in her road work has pushed graveled highways out to tap our county, and Portland being the larger city has naturally attracted the trade that should have come to Oregon City. This trade can be again turned to this city if the proper effort is made, for to a large part of the peo ple of Clackamas county wbo now trade in Portland, the distance is much less titan to that city, and if tbey can be given graveled roads of easy grade they will seek the near est market, as the saving of time will more than make up for any difference in price that may exist between the two markets. Tbe board of trade should aid and take the initiatory in the work of hrst getting our highways properly located and then of im proving them. Of tbe roads that the board could well give its attention just now and that need relocating and improving, and which would be of the most benefit to this ! of the Northwest. place, is the Oregon City and New Era road, ' ton end Oregon would make a girdle round That Japan has no domestic a iimuls or pets is a surprise to Americans and Europe ans who are used to the man v animals we have w ith us. Of this strange condition the New York Recorder has the following: Japan is a land without the domestic ani mals. It is this lack which strikes the stranger so forcibly in locking u; on Japan ese landscapes. There are no cows the I Jap neither drinks milk nor eats meat. There are but few honses and these are im ported mainly for the use of foreigners. The freight cars in the city streets are pulled and pushed by coolies and the pleasure car riages are drawn by men. There are but few dogs, and these are neither used as watch dogs, beasts of burden nor in hunt ing, except by foreigners. There are no sbeep in Japan, and wool is not used ia clothing, silk and cotton being the staples. There are no pigs pork is an unknown ar ticle of diet and lard is not used in cook ing. There are no goats, or mules or don keys. Wild animals there are. and in par ticular bears of enormous size. Oneof these Mr. Finck saw, stuffed, in a museum, he describes as "big as an ox." Beside another stuffed museum bear is preserved in alcohol the mangled body of a child the bear had partially eaten befare being killed. The great timber resources of Oregon and Washington are spoken of as follows by that able trade journal, the Puget Sound Lumberman: The two states of Washing ton and Oregon have more standing timber than all the rest of the United States put together; they have more than ten times a much as Michigan, Wisconsin and Min nesota (the white pine states) combined; more than 400 times as much as the great lumber state of Maine and more than tiOO times as much as New lork. The nine largest lumber states ol the Sooth have only one-third as much as these two forest kings The woods of Washing- Cherryvllle Notes. Ciikkkyvili.k, Oct. SI. A regular old fashioned wedding party was held at the residence of Mr. J. Hanimer on (-atnrday last, the occasion being the marriage of Mr. Allert Hammer to Miss Delilah Oavls. Tbe knot was tied in Justice W. (i. Curriu's most pleasing style. At the close of the ceremonies a sumptuous dinner was served to those present. In addition to a tine wed ding cake and Iruits and other delicacies, some of tne finest bear sieak ever set before a hungry man was served.

There lias been a feeling among the people of the country that Oregon City was inclined to shirk its duty in road matters, and that tbe city did not care whether there was a mile of passable road in the county or not. This spirit should be allayed and city and county work together that they may be placed in better communication with each other, and eacb prosper the more. Reithbs from the good work that the Monthly Oregonian is doing have oeen bo tlattering that the continued publication ol the pap:r ha9 been decided on by the pro prietors, wbo are men interested in the de velopment of the resourcesof Oregon. There is scarce a doubt that the Monthly Oregon ian is doing more to cull the attention of eastern people to this state than any other publication ever sent out. It is in such a form, and tbe matter is so gotten up, that people will read it and will rely on its state ments. Of the Oregon City firms who bave contributed to its support and have carried advertisements in it, all report good returns on their venture and feel that their money was well spent. Toe Entekpkise, which is carrying an advertisement in it, has received several new subscribers from tbe East, and many letters of inquiry regarding this sec tion. The next tide of emigration that that leaves the East will be for Oregon. Cal ifornia, the Dakotas and Texas have bad their day, and it now rests with our people if they wish to receive the full benefit of this new blood capital that will come to us to make known the advantages of our stale. the earth three miles wide. If all the other forests of the Union were to go up in smoke these two states could meet the present de mands, until these forests were regrown. At the present rate of consumption, and not allowing for new growth, the forests of the United States will be exhausted in 120 years. The woods of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota will he exhausted within ten years. Then Washington and Oregin will be the chief source of supply for the whole Union. BEDLAND :N0TES.

Mr. Chetieyis naturally a very respectable young man, but he must not let his greed get away with his honor, for if he does it w ill be the ruin of him. With a freight rate of s dollar a ton from Portland and free cartage of freights to all parts of the city, the merchants of Oregon City should be able to successfully compete with Portland and the surrounding towns for the trade of Clackamas county.

Fires have been raging and doing some damage iu burning fences. At one time there was great, alarm lest the Presbyterian church and the school house should take fire from the woods which were ablaze back of them. The citizens turned out early Sunday morning! or rather about midnight, and watched and fought fire for many hours; then again in the afternoon, the wind becoming stronger, the blaze got un der headway and the people were obliged to watch again till midnight.
