At no lime within recent years has Oregon City real estate offered such inducements to the investors as now. In conscience of the general business depression throughout the country, property values in this city suf fered a decline, but so solid is the future of Oregon City that already a marked stittning is noticeable and the time is near at band when real estate will reach a higher figure than ever before known. So soon as the in dustrial coi.i'ition of the country is settled, several new factories now under consider ation, will be located in Oregon City, thus doubling the number of our wage earners, and advancing the city another step toward being one of the great factory centers of the United States. With a pay-roll of $70,000 rer month at the present time and every prospect that it will reach 100,010 before the close of another year, Oregon City bas an income such as will guarantee absolute stability and safety to all investments made within its Hants. While Oregon City has made a splendid growth during the past five years, a growth not equaled by any other town in the state, yet the next five years will witness an in crease in its wealth and population not equaled in any period in Its history. In the industrial development ot Oregon tbis city is sure to be a leading factor and with the building of factories will come the need of homes for the operatives. Tbis demand will cause a ste ady increase in real estate values and make ibis line of investments one of the safest and best to be had in Oregon City. At the present time Oregon City bas, in proportion to the number of buildings, less vacant houses than any other town in the North est. This fact is verified by the state ment of every peison who bas bad occasion to visit our neighboring towns within the past ear, For the future that is so prom ising for Oregon City, real estate is yet beld at very reasonable figures and no boom prices are being asked but this state of the market will not last long and belore the close of the year a decided advance will have taken place. It is thus a certainty that no other time in the history of tbis city bas the real estate market offered such inducements to investors as is now to be bad. U'Rtif. the good, says he only got fSO out of the Simon-Corbett corruption fund. How much more this pure and upright states man pulled out or the hold up pool only he and Simon, the wise. know. If ISO tier bead was all that Mr. Corbett bad to pay for populists members, than his honors in being a hold-up senator come cheap. Tm Missouri supreme court bas rulrd that in that state "a woman can bold any office for which the is not specifically de clared inelegible." As most offices exist un der tenures which do not expressly inhibit female Incumbency, the women of Mis souri will now have a fairj chance to gratify tbeir political ambitions. Mutterof reyising city ordinance re ferred to finance committee with power to act. Sekatok-Exfictid Corbktt is no nearer seated now than be was when he left bere four weeks ago, post haste for Washington, to assume his new senatorial honors. Simon and l"Ken could handle this end of He combination all right, but,tbey are not eqaai to the occasion at the other end. Our Standing at Hume.

THE CITY LEGISLATORS. Much Routine Business Transacted at Regular April Meetlug. Fbiday of this week will be observed as Arbor day by the public schools or Oregon. Arbor day had its origin in Nebraska and bas come to be one or the great national days ol this country, being observed in nearly every state in the Union. Tle need of a day to be set apart that the subject of for estry may be taught in our schools is em phasized by the recent floods of the Mis sippi valley, where the great forests have been destroyed, leaving nothing to obstruct the flow of the water toward the low lauds and valleys. There is little donbt that the floods in the Willamette valley will become more frequent and disasterous as the for ests are obliterated. Few people have any adequate conception of the annual drain npon our lorests. Aside from the amount ot timber used lor fuel and building pur poses, 200,000 acres are cut off every year to furnish ties for the railroads or the United States, a half million acres of timber being necessary to supply the entire demands of these roads for one year. At the rate we are now going our practically limitless for ests will soon be a thing or the past. Amer ica bas gone by thecontrary rule or Europe. There two trees are planted for every one cut down, while in this country ror each tree that is cut down and used two are wont only destroyed. This cotirse.tiersisted in can have but one result, the utter annihilation or the finest timber regions or the world, with the consequent results that have be fallen Spain, Palestine and other countries that have been denuded of their forests. The city council met in regular session Wednesday evening with Mayor Caufield presiding and Recorder Ryan in charge of the records. All the councilmen were in their seats at roll call'I except H. E.
