The placing of the steamer Ramona on the upper Willamette trade, means a practi cal withdrawal from the Oregon City and Tortland route by the Oregon City Trans portation Co. Of course they will by their new schedule have a boat each way daily between this city and Portland, but all di rect benefit to Oregon City will cease, for the boats will no longer lie in Oregon City, and all supplies for the boat and families of thecrew will come from Portland, for they will all have to move to that city. The amount of money lefl in Oregon City each month by the steamer Ramona is far more than oar people realize. For wood, $180 each month is paid out. The grocery stores get 125 each month of the boat's money, while the other business houses av erage $40 for incidentals. The salary of the crew amounts to 1420 per month, and; as they all live here this money is spent in the city. With the withdrawal of the boat all this money will go to other towns. Captain Graham and Purser Randall will have to move their lamilies to Portland, thus en tailing another loss to the business men of Oregon City. Ttiere is no possibility of another boat coming on the route, for the trade will not sustain a boat now that so much is shipped on the electric car. If the electric car gave a cheaper and better service there might be some eicuse for tlie desertion of the boats. But the facts of the case are that the boats have given as cheap and efficient service as the electric cars, and the officers have been as obliging as one could ask. The restless desire of Americans for a change is the only apparent reason for the shippers leaving the boat for the cars. The salary of possibly one man residing in the city is all the'direct benefit the freight car wilt be to Oregon City, while the ob struction to the street will more than offset this benefit. The freezing out of the boats is a penny wise and pound foolish policy for Oregon City. TiiitT tell us that the prosperity of a town can be told by the number of gambling places it has in operation. If such be the case Oregon City will tie a very prosperous town for the coming year. t'rhlerville News. Fkiii kkvii.li, Pec. 2.

We understand that the masquerade at Linn's mill on Thanksgiving was a success, a large crowd being present from the city and country. We have been told tbere was t populist meeting at Maple Lane November 28. We did not learn what was done, but as the meeting was on Thanksgiving we suppose it was to give thanks for being snowed un der deeper than ever in every state where an election was held last month.

Miss Annie Tarry has been home for a few days visiting her parents. John Bowen returned from the hospital last Sunday, Miss Hannah Hughes has left lis to attend school in Gladstone.

Cleveland's message to congress con tained little that was new and was merely a rehash of bis well known views on free trade and financial matters. The all im portant fact that is staring the country in the face of a deficit in the treasury, be made no reference to, evidently thinking that his secretary and the English bankers could attend to that without the help of congress. His remedial legislation which he recommends, is the same old prescrip tion that has nearly brought death to bis patient, the people, and congress will give little beed to it now that the republicans are able to put on the brake. In his for eign policy, which he outlines, he attempts to make a show of vigor and American ism, but it abounds with the same vacillat ing spirit that has dominated bis adminis tration of foreign affairs. Bo far as the good it will do in influencing legislation or enlightening the people, Cleveland's message was a failure. We will have tons of candy, nuts and fruits for Christmas trade and we are going to sell them cheap. E. E. Williams, The Grocer. Oregon City. fetter List.

Tbe first number was a little six-column paper of four pages, pub lished weekly. For a number of years it bad a checkered career, and it was only by the extraordinary industry and persever ance of Mr. H. L. Pittock, one of the pres ent owners who came into possession of the paper after others had failed, that the Ore goiiian lived to become the great paper that it now is. Tbe Oregonian has come to be one of the leading daily papers of the country, and its editorial columns are not excelled by even tbe New York or Chicago papers for breadth and depth of thought. From a moral standpoint the Oregonian is one of the cleanest dailies we have, for it gives very little of the sensational news of tbe day, presentir g a marked contrast to tbe Ban Francisco and New York dailies in the columns of slush and debasing matter given their readers. Thc city election of Monday was really jt victory for the law and order element, notwithstanding a part of their ticket was defeated. It demonstrated to the better element of Oregon City that with better organization and a closer guard on tbe un scrupulous methods of the opposing tide, the control of the city government could be asily bad, and an another year they will Before you buy your Christmas presents come and see us.
