Mrs. E. F. Ginther has gone to Port land to spend a few days with her daughters, Resa and Hettie, who are at tending the Business College. Rev.

The Populists of this precinct met in the Beaver Creek schoolhouse on the 12th to elect five delegates to the County convention, and also to vote on the question of Union .

That cer tainly speaks well for our fellow Granger, Mrs. Howard. Mr. Fischer has received the contract for making the corduroy for our road. The members of the Lutheran Church have cleared the ground around the parsonage and erected a neat picket fence. A nice little garden now appears in the place formerly occupied by stumps. Our road supervisor, E. W, Horn schuh, with some assistant, has been busily engaged repairing the roads un der his supervision. Ed is a rustler. The County Court has promised us three-fourths of a mile of plank road, as our portion of Improvement for the year, which will reach about to the Henry Hughes place. By the personal effort ot our supervisor he has a promise from the Court that if the people will volun teer to do the grading, etc., the County would furnish the lumber, nails and powder to complete the road to Thomas store. Accordingly our supervisor is taking up a subscription lor volunteer work and in one day secured pledges to the amount of $-10. Many offered more than lequeeted if necessary. Onlv two absolutely refused to give any assistance. Yet one of these will have it at his very door and will make a double use of it both public and private. Mr. Editor, in our humble opinion, the man who is unwilling to unite with his neighbors and assist to obtain a common necessity at so little sacrifice cannot command the good wishes of his neighbors. Bpringwatcr. Sprinowatkr, March 20. Farmers have been making good use of the fine spring weather. Most of the spring grain is sown. Fall sown grain is look ing fine. The outlook for a fruit crop is good it late frosts do not catch it. Died, on March 9th, Grandma Finley, mo'herof Mrv A. E. Lewellen, of ton- silitis, at the age of 84 years. She was sick only a few days. The funeral was conducted by Rev. A. Hurd, where a large crowd of friends assembled to pay respects to the aged, who is gone but not forgotten. On March 4th, Springwater school closed by giving an entertainment at Lewetlen's hall, which was a success in every respect. The proceeds amounted to (13.35, which will be used tor the purchasing of a flag for the school. On March 6th, school rr eeting 'was held and great interest was manifested in education. A subscription list was passed around where $200 was quickly subscribed for the im provement of our school, that of putting it on a graded plan. On March 12th,at the hall.J. W. Sher wood, of Portland, delivered an able ad dress to a large audience, the subject being " Fraternal Organizations." The Order of the Maccabees is pro greasing in this place where a good strong order will be established. Mr. Johnson, secretary of the Y M. C. A., of Oregon City, is holding revi val services in connection with Rev. E Hurd at this place. A great interest is manifested . Springwater Is alive and is going to live as long as any one else lives if she does have to pull 16 miles throngh mud to get to the county seat to pay her taxes. Although we should not object as we are not so bad off as some of the other rural districts. Under the present road sys tem, we will soon have good roads if the money is properly divided and judici ously used. There will be no complaint on taxes from this part of the county, if the money is only used to the best advan tage. Our hope is for a good set of busi ness men for our next board of county court. Dover. Dovkb, March 22. The weather is very pleasant but cold and frosty at night. The farmers are about through seeding for this spring, and are now go ing to clear. A. J Kitzsmiller and son C. Bowman are going to Eastern Oregon, to work this summer. Mrs. N. Nelson has returned home from Handy, where she has been keeping a hotel for the winter. Mrs. Cubbage intends to yisit friends in Portland, shortly. Mrs. French bag returned from Port land, where she has been visiting for the past month. L. Robertson has recurned from Ore gon City, where) she has been visiting her parents. The ministers have returned to con tinue their revival meetings at Dover, as there is much mote good to be done. Many more have been converted. Marqnsm. Mabqdam, March 19. A report that a gold and silver-bearing quartz ledge had been found on the farm of of P. J. Ridinas, nearMarquam, was published. I know of no discovery being made on the Ridings place, though Mr. Ridings did find something he thought was gold, which on examination, proved to be dyn amite caps. A discovery was made on j the farm ot 0. P. Black, two miles north east of Maruuam, on the road leading from Oregon City to Hilvorlon The d s- j covery was made by C. P. Black hltn-i self, who has been prospecting tor ey ' eral years, but without success until latj October. At that time he was rewarded by uncovering a fissure of the main ' ledge, After this the work was pushed with energy, and about February I, he was rewarded a second time by uncover-1 lug me main leuge. tie suiecieu oino rock from 12 feet Mow the surface, which he had assayed. The return cer tificate shows gold, t. 13; silver, 30 cents. Rock and sand in feet below the 1 surface assayed $8.20 in gold, The ledge Is composed of decomposed auarta. PHOSI'rCTOK. Ilarnioay. Hahmonv, March, 22. At our annual school meeting Mr. T. Hagonbtirgur was elected trustee and Mr, Geo, Wise was re-elected clerk ; Alfred Clark was the retiring trustee. He has served two terms. Our school is progressing nicely under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Uoland. They are as successful teachers as we have ever had, and we hope they will e engaged for our school for an Indefinite period. The weather, which has not been the best this month for spring work, has not been so bad but what a considerable amount has been done here by way of spring sown grain. It would almost be humorous to note the war-talk, were it not for the whole some fact that it is bom of deefeated patriotic principles. We hardly think the Maine disaster will lead to war with Spain eyen if the Spanish government should be proven to be guilty or respon sible for so atrocious a deed. We could raise an army about aa large as the entire population ot Spain. An indem nity consisting of $10,000,000 and the ceding of the West Indies to the United States, would, perhaps, be as much satisfaction as we could get nnder the circumstances. But ot course it might take a fight or a display of arms to obtain this. Willis Johnson, of Clackamas, was in our town yesterday. Mr. Payne was circulating a petition again last week tor a postotfice in this place. He obtained a large number of signatures. A memorable event occured here ti day, it being the marriage of Miss Rosa it 1 l. i . .... ii.... t n uuriioiuui;!! iuu uur fiasfcur iiev. w . u. Streyfeller, at the church which was. tastefully and beautifully decorated for the occasion. The bride is one of Oregon City's accomplished young ladies; the groom, one of the rising young preachers of the Evangelical church, and for the past two years, pastorate Milwaukee and Harmony. After the several hundred friends present had extended congratula tions, some beautiful and valuable pres-1 enta were received by Mr. and Mrs. I 8 :rey feller.

On April 9 we celebrate. For 365 days customers of this store have celebrated the fact that they were saving from 25 to 33 per cent, on Patent Medicines, Drugs and Prescriptions. This store started the cut rate prices and this 'store insures their permanency. This store has but one price and that price is the same for children or adults; for people who don't know prices or people who do know prices; for the customer with a nickle or the one with dollars.
