Account of Tliclr Trial and Tribulation
by a Fellow KunVrer.
The following account of the doings of
some well-known Oregon City people la
taken from the Woods Ocean Wave of
Auk-tint 12th:
Monday morning, AugUHt2nd, a crowd
nuiiihoring fourtoen left Oregon City for
Ocean I'ark. Mixg Latourette, Mrs.
Cora Lewilhwaite, Mrs. II. J. Hard
ing and daughter Ciunevieve, C. D.
Latourette and family, Miss Kale Ward,
L. L. Drigiis ami Dr. C. 15. Smith,
wife and sou.
Dayton was made the flint night and
the party put up at the hotel. At six
next morning Mr. Durham was ready
for the start and pulled out of Dayton
with liis load of stinbonot and ulsters
through the dust, amid the cheers of the
o.slookers. Amity was parsed and
Sheiidan reached before noon when a
stop was made on the bank of the Yam
hill for lunch. Doc Smith and C. D.
i Latourette had gone on ahead in Doc's
light buckboard and they bad a fire
going and the coflee pot on. After a
three hours rest during which time all
hands went in bathing we started on
again, traveling ten miles to Old Mr.
Hour's place, where vie spent the night,
taking all the b-ds in the house at 15c
per head for adults and 10c for children.
Breakfasting next morning on boiled
chickens and eggs on toast, we again
atruck out at six and reached the toll
gate at Dolpb about 10:30. Here wa
filled up on soda op and candy and
pushed on to Three Rivers. Here Doc
and Charlie had dinner ready for us
againon ashudy bank and two hours were
spent here. The ladies quarette com
posed of Kate Ward, Miss Latourette,
Mrs. Latourette and Mrs. Lewithwaile
discoursed sweet muHic while we ate and
while we rode. The ride through the
mountains was cool and delightful, no
smoke nor dust and very pretty scenery.
No e.MM-ciallj exciting adventures hap
pened excepting, hanging over a cliff
while a hay wagon passed and squeezing
by another team on the narrow road.
Doc and Charlie left ns on the bank of
Three Kivers and went on ahead to
secure rooms at the hotel and supper
enough for the crowd.
It was a pretty tired load that pulled
into Ocean Park at 5 o'clock Wednesday
evening. The hotel was found and every
one unloaded and began for the third
time to take off the la vers of dust accum
ulated on our faces, clothing and baggage
That supper was a marvel. There was
clam chowder, clams fried, baked
salmon, halibut aud ateak, honey, apple
sauce, cream and Tillamook butter. The
fourteen did ample justice to it, and sup'
per over, all crosned the ferry and walked
over the sand to the beach where the
incoming tide sent in huge breakers that
shimmered under tha ravs of the full
moon before they broke.
Friday, August Gth, being Charlie
Lalourette's birthday, a surprise was
planned In the shape of a bonfire and
candy pull to be given in his honor. The
campers in the vicinity were invited and
about nine o, clock a huge bonfire was
lighted in front of the hotel. Dr. Smith
w as elected master of the ceremonies and
filled his office finely. lie inaugurated
the ceremonies by a brief speech inform
ing the listeners ttie occasion was in
honor of C. D. Lttourette and that a
short musical program had been pre
pared. This consisted of songs by the
Salem girls quartet, solos by Kate Ward,
Laurence Drigg, Doc Smith and Mrs.
Frank Hughes of Salem mandolin and
guitar duets and choruses by the crowd.
The solo by our master of ceremonies de
serves special mention. It is a song
coiii08ed by himself, consisting of seven
verses and written twenty-five years ago
when he was young man living in New
York. We will give you the first verse:
'There was Andrew Scott of Hooker creek,
I suppose yuii do him know;
He drove the wor"t old gray mare
That ever you see go.
Chorus:
Oil whang de dang dang do a diddle
iIhiI Iiiiii,
Whung de dang, dung, do a diddle day !"
The whole party goes in surf bathing
once a day and takes in many little ex
cursions exploring caves on Sand Cape,
digging clams and fishing. The longest
trip was a walk attempted over to Cape
Lookout by Miss Latourette, M'ibs Ger
trude Finley, Mett Finley and L. L.
Driggs. They took lunch enough for two
days and a blanket apiece strapped on
their back a and startep out early one
morning, reaching the cape by three
o'clock. Two hours were spent follow
ing bear trails down to the point through
mud and wringing wet bushes. They re
turned down the mountain and a mile
down the beach where they built up a
lire and bad supper and spent the night,
returning to Ocean Park about three the
next day, thoughly tired out after their
thirty mile walk.
Charlie Pope came in on his wheel
reaching here Sunday night and the fol
lowing day Claude Adams and his
brother Waldo ai rived here having
made the trip from Oregon City In one
day. Hanking, Phillips, Pratt and
Logns are camping in the grove, also
Mrs John Gerin oi Portland and George
Prosser, wife and children of Oswego.
The weather has been very good and
everyone has been well and happy.
There are dances three nights in the
week and bonfires the other three. Mr.
Latourette went home Saturday out in
tends returning in a week to go back
with his family.

Building Notes.
Messrs E. M. and S. M. Rasmufsen,
the well-known contractors and builders,
have under course of constructiou in
Willamette Falls three cottages of seven
and eight looms each, which will be as
handsome and convenient when com
pleted as any. in or about Oregon City.
One of them will be occupied by John
Hickman, an employe of the Willamette
Falls Railway Company; and the other
two by J. T. Hodges and Isaac Moser,
employes of the pulp and paper mills.
Ko soon as these cottages are com
pleted they will begin one forC. A.
Miller, suerintendent of the Willamette
Falls Railway and after that they will
build one for Oscar May in Bolton.
Ira Jones, of Portland, is erecting a
nice house on bis 100-acre tract on the
West Side.
Thomas F. Ryan is erecting an elegant
10-room cottage on Jefferson street, near
Fifth. When completed it will cost
about $2500.
Stands at the Head.
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, La , says "Dr. King's Dis
covery is the only discovery is the only
thing that cures my cough, and it is the
best sailer I have." J. F. Campbell,
merchant of SatTord, Ariz., writes: Dr.
King's New Discovery is all that is
claimed for it : it never fails, and is a
sure cure for Consumption. Coughs and
Colds. I cannot say enough for its
merits." Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds is not
an experiment. It has been tried for
a quarter of a century, and to-day stands
at the head. It never disappoints.

RETURNED TO OREGON.
Counterfeiter Reed Brought bark to
Answer for lii Crime.
Deputy United States Marshal Shelby,
of Kansas City, Missouri, arrived in
Portland Sunday morning, having in
custody Wolfert Reed, a counterfeiter,
who had just finished a three year's
sentence in the penitentiary at Jefferson
City, Mo., and was brought here to
answer an Indictment returned against
him in 1804, on a warrant issued by
Judge John f . Phillips.
Reed was arrested in Oregon City on
the 26th of June, 1804, by Chief of Police
Chas. E. Burns. When arrested Reed
had 1507.50 in bogns (told coin, all of the
denomination of $" except one $2.50
piece. He first tried to pass one of tha
counterfeits on E. . E. Williams, the
grocer, but failed and was arrested in
Jack Trembath'a saloon, where he aa
endeavoring to pass another one. Reed
had a flannel belt sewed into depart
ments just large enough to admit a $5
piece in which he carried bis bogns
money, the belt being worn around bis
waist.
After Reed was taken into custody a
strong plea was made by his attorney,
C. F. Lord, for bis release on a nominal
bond, and finally the amount was fixed
at $1000. A bond was given, with Wil
liam P. Glidding and Samuel Reed, the
latter a brother of the accused, and both
of Grant's Pass, as sureties. A short
time subsequent to tbe execution of the
bond, Reed took his departure from tbe
state, and was next beard from' in the
toils in Missouri. He was apprehended
at Carthage for having molds for making
counterfeit $5 pieces in his keeping, and
was tried and convicted at Kansas City.
The officials in Portland heard of
Reed's fate in Missouri, and appraised
the authorities there of the distance of
the Oregon indictment, which accounts
for the return of the rain at the expira
tion of bis sentance. He was in prison
at Jefferson City just 27 mouths, gaining
nine months for good conduct. Reed ia
37 years old and has a wife and three
children at Joplin, Mo. He had four
children, but while he was in the peni
tentiary one of them died; .his mother
also died.
At the request of Reed, W. M. Draffen,
United States district attorney at Kan
sas City, wrote a letter to United States
District Attorney Murphy, reciting that
Reeds wife is a good woman and begged
bard that he be not again imprisoned,
and that Reed was an exemplary convict
and promised to reform and lead an hon
est life hereafter. Reed was accordingly
I released on his own recongnizance and
will be permitted to go when and where
he pleases so long as he leads an honor
able life.
A Remarkable Core of Chronic Diar
