The coming of Head CouhuI Falkcn burg of the I'aciflc JnriMiIiction, Wood men of the World, had been anticipated by Wiiluniutto Fall Camp and ex tunatve preparation had been made to make the day one long to be reiuern bcred by the craft and public at large. ISy 8 o'clock fully 1000 people had aaacm bled In the hall and greeted tl.; head coiihuI and members of the local organ ization with cheers a the curtain rone. J. J. Cooke's flno orchcatra fnriiinhi'd the tnutic with which the evening a program waa InterKpuraed. CouhuI E. E. Martin preided and in trod need Prof . U.K. Strange, to whom had been anoigned the pleaning talk of welcoming the camp gueaia, and lie performed the tank creditably to hi ni ne!! and the local camp, lie referred to the fact, patent to all, that It no longer reijuired any effort to fill houae for a Woodmen uatherini; and that while a i few yean ago the amallerit hall wan large j enough to accommodate their friends, I now even Shively'a waa none too large. lie referred with pardonable pride to ; Oregon Cily't hiatoric paat and to the fact that the miHionary spirit as well as ' that of law and order were interwoven in the warp and woof of the city's history. In cloning, Mr. Strange pre sented Conaul Falkenburg with a gavel made from the limb of the first apple tree planted in Oregon, the tree being planted in this city 50 years ago by Rev. A. F. Waller, and it is still stand ing strong and vigorous in the Methodist parsonage yard. The handle of the gavel was made from a piece of timber taken from the old state bouse building on the corner of Main and Sixth streets. Mr. Strange was fraternal in the best sense of the word, and craftsman and layman alike felt the generous impulse of his unoqui vital wel come. In accepting the gavel Mr. Falkenburg feelingly expressed hi appreciation of the gift and spoke in eloquent terms of the esteem and affection in which Ore gon Woodmen weie hold in general and said that among all the tokens of remem brance he had in his home in Denver none weie more highly appreciated or should occupy a more honored place than the gavel presented by Willamette Falls camp. After another selection by the orches tra came the addi-era of the evening by Head Consul Falkenburg. He was greeted with applause as he advanced to the footlights and the course of his speech was marked by many kindly manifestations of approval by the im mense audience. The beauties and ben fits of Woodcraft were put in a new guise and presented in a masterly manner that appealed to the audience as perhaps never before, while his profound famil iarity with the order and every detail of its work and affairs served to deepen the favorable impressions already enter tained for this fraternity. Among other things he placed the actual strength of the craft, in good standing, at 84,000 which was a pleaaant surprise to hun dreds of his hearers. The March appli cations had been 5,380, the best record in the order's six and one half year's ex istence, during which time the benefits paid out reached the handsome aggegato of $1,780 ,0.K). The order had never ap peared in court, had' never compio mised a dollar's worth of its obligations and was stronger, morally, financially and fraternally today than ever in its history. Mr. Falkenburg indulged in a great deal of dry humor and apt simile and his address as a whole made very pleaxnnt hearing, as was evidenced by its hearty reception. At the conclusion of the address the orchestra furnished some more excellent music while the active members in the camp mingled with the busy throng soliciting names for initiates and at the endofliltoan minutes 23 were reported to the consul commander. Ry this time everything was in readi ness for the sawing contest and for this event Messrs. Frank Barlow, Wash Fra rier and Scott Bozorth w rera appointed judges. There were two teams of two members each, E. J. Maple and J. A. Whetstone and E. A. Frost and W. A. llewett. The log serving for this contest was a seasoned fir 12x14 inches which was duly mounted upon the stage. Manle and Whetstone won in 37 seconds and Frost and llewett ceased sawing and no time was counted. A second contest for fun between Maple and Whetstone against Scripture and Clark was won by the former team, who sawed off two cuts and began on the third, using the back of the saw before the other team sevpred their end of the log. The contest provoked any amount of fun in the audience, and were hugely enjoyed on and off the stage. This ended the program of one of the most pleasant eveninns ever spent in Shively's opera house. for a Ilicycle fat Ii. It the bicycle path question continues lo be as popular as it is at prcsnnt, it will be but a little while before the whole country will lie a network of them. The Oregonian of the 10th irist has this to say regarding a path from Portland to this city: The citizens of Oregon City have now awakened to the advantages that will follow in the wake of a bicycle path from that city to Portland, and are taking active measures to provide one. Colonel Robert Miller, of Oregon City, was in Portland yesterday conferring with Mr. Eugene D. White concerning the project, and was promined the hearty support of Portland wheelman. Oregon City is just about the right distance for a pleasant ride to portland, and has many attrac tions to sightgeers, chief among them being the beautiful falls of the Willam ette. The path will probably be built through Clackamas and Gladstone, and possibly through Sellwood and Milwau kee, so that any of these hamlets can be easily reached by wheel. The path will undoubtedly be eventually extended to ward Salem, and it will not be long be fore a branch will extend to the Clack amas hatchery. The promoters of the scheme are confident of its success, and it will probably be an accomplished fact by the end of the summer. Resolutions of Respect. Whereas, In the providence of God, it baa pleased Him to call our worthy brother, Hon. John Henry Kruse, from his labor on earth to his rest above, therefore be it Resolved, By the the Clackamas dis trict Pamona grange, that we deeply deplore his untimely death and do most earnestly sympathize with his relatives and the Oswego grange of which he was a worthy and useful member. Resolved, That we will strive to emu late his virtues and so live that when we arc called from earth away, it may be said of us, we have done what we could to make the world better. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu lons be sent the near relatives of the deceased and to the county papers and Northwest Pacific Farmer for publica tion. T. R. A. Sellwood, M. A. Gagk, J. Casto, . Committee. For Memorial Day. The general committee of arrange ments for Memorial day exercises con sisting of Capt. J. T. Apperson, J. Doremm, C. II. Dauchy and Charles Horn has been appointed by Meadn Post, G. A. It., and these gentlemen have matters pertaining to the proper observance of the day well in hand. There will be services on Memorial Sun day, May 30, at Shively'a opera house in the afternoon and on Monday, the 31st, Decoration day exercises at the cemetery. These exercises will be par ticipated in by all old soldiers and members of the Relief Corps, F Com pany, O.N. G . , will also contribute to the proper observance of the day. The memorial sermon on Sunday will be delivered, in accordance with the usual custom of the post, by one of the leading minister; of the city and the ora tion at the cemetery on Monday will be by some prominent orator. A Home tnslitullon. Capt. A. B. Graham, manager of the Oregon City Transportation Company, was in Oregon City lat Wednesdey paying the bills of his company for the past month. His company distributes in this city something like $400 every month for wood, and groceries for the boat's galley and other supplies needed from time to time. Part of the crew have families and live here and the rest board here and spend their money in the town. On the other hand the electric line does not leave on an aver age of 25 cents per week in the city. The employes all live in Milwaukee or Portland and an occasional lunch or a dish of ice cream is the extent of their purchases. Oregon City people and her merchants especially should patronize the transportation company since they spend so much money in the city and contribute to our prosperity in so many ways. "My landlord will pay for that paper," said a business man to Holman, the wall paper dealer. Holman said it was $ for the room. "Is that all? Well, I will pay it myself," replied the business mau. You will be surprised when you find how little it costs to paper your room when you see Holman and see his up-to-date styles and prices. Daniel Williams, at the head of Sev enth street stairs, has added a line of pat ent medicines to his stock of school books, candies, notions, etc., which he sells cheaper than the cheapest.

End of the May Term .1 Itere Taki I'utll Tuenhiy, June I, 1897.' :en The suit of Pier Bros, New York hop buyers, against John P, Cole, recit er of the Barlow-Will mercantile company resulted in a verdict for the p!aintiff. Pier Bros, held a chattle mortgage on tome hops that were seized by the Barlow-Will Co. and converted to Ha own oe. The claim was for $525, $100 of which was for damages and the jury al lowed it all with interest. The indictment against Tom Dincll for the theft of liquors from the Liberal sa loon to the value of $45 was dismissed on motion of District Attorney Cleeton. The Jury failed to convict Dinell of the theft of goods from a dwelling and it was deemed useless to puih the second in dictment axainst him. The revolver and clippers that were in evidence in the case tried were diosed of bv the court awarding the former to the defendant and the latter to the boy from whom the defendant said he did not steal it. In the suit of Sellwood ys Henneman, over a boundary line and involving pos session of three-fourths of an acre of land that controls a small water-power near Sellwood, judgment was given in favor of Sellwood. The winner, however, has to pay one-third of the costs, and j the loser the remainder. The land waa worth about $500. The appeal of the city of Caitby from the decision of County Judge Hayes, re leasing J. W. Smith from the custody of J. F. Defoe, chief of police, was decided in favor of Smith. Smith was arrested for violating the city ordinance relative to selling goods without a license on a picnic diy, refused to pay his fine and was sent to jail. He was released from jail by County Judge Hayes on a writ of habeas corpus and the trial confirmed the decision of the county jude. The motion of P. A. Marqnam, who was convicted last November for selling liquors without a license and sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and costs, for a new trial was denied by Judge McBride and Marqnam given CO days iu which to prepare a bill of exceptions. Marquam appeared in his own behalf. ' 1 The famous hop case of Pope, Ander son & Co against A. D. Chapman has not yet . reached final disposition. Plaintiff's attorney has been given until . June 10 to file motion for a new trial. At the November term of court, an order was made for J. C. Stricklin to surrender posession of a certain hop I yard in the case of M. M. Shively vs J. j J. C. A G. W. Stricklin ; the order was j disobeyed when the demand was made upon Stricklin and he was brought into court Saturday on a bench warrant to answer to the charge ol contempt. It appearing to the court that Stricklin was ignorant of the effect of his refusal to comply with the order, the contempt proceedings were dismissed upon pay ment of costs by the defendant. John Ferguson indicted for assaulting ' John Benson with a deadly weapon, waa found guilty of simple assault only and were given until June 1, to file a motion for a new trial. Both parties have farms ud the Aber nethy and the trouble grew out of the right to use an old road that ran through Ferguson's place. Peter Younger was convicted of inde cent exposure and sentenced to six months in the county jail. Judge McBride adjourned court Mon day afternoon and went to St Helens t. hold the regular spring term of court (or Columbia county. An adjourned term of court for Clackamas county will be held commencing Tuesday, June 1, and the following jurors were retained from the regular panel and cited to appear on Monday, June 7, 1897 : George C. Kinney, Henry Cooke, W. W. Aldredge, J. W. . Boatman, L. Blanchard and I. Farr. Home Beautifying. There is nothing that adds more lo th e attractions of a borne than flowers.
