In gathered from all men and women, whof-e ranks are fast thinning, but in those left to us remains the spirit that transformed Oregon from a wilderness into a paradise. Oregon City is dear to pioneers. Remembered as the site of early territorial government, its histori cal features will be pointed out to tour ist for hundreds of years to' come. The lust resting place and the home of Dr. Jo in McLougblin, whose name is al ways associated with the name of Ore gon City, and who is immortalized in Eva Emery Dye's "McLoaghlin and 0l Oregon," the first Methodist Church built west of tbe Rocky mountains, and many other scenes of historic interest are all here. As the years fade, some of them will disappear and be forgotten. Tbe memories of the noble pioneers will be preserved in books, which will be read by their descendants hundreds of yars Irora today, hat ttiey nave given chd never be repaid; what they have done w;U live until the end of time. In a lot adjoining the Methodist cbarch in Oregon City there stood until s few years ago, when it was cut down and sold for souvenirs an old apple tree, the first tree of its kind in Oregon, now so famous for its apples. In the early forties one season's crop of apples was purchased from the owner by W. P. Barns, formerly of this city, but now of Portland. He shipped tbe crop to Cali fornia and sold it for several hundred dollars. Tbe purchaser toroed about and sold the apples to the miners of the days of gold for one dollar apiece. This incident is only one of the many which are told and retold by the pioneers and peculiarly illustrates the life in Oregon over fifty years ago. Oregon City is particularly honored at this year's pioneer reunion by the selec tion of Hon. Thomas A. McBride, him self a jioneer of 1846, to deliver the annual address. His speech was masterpiece and full of reminescences of the half-forgotten past. Id a very few years more Oregon will have seen the last of pioneer reunions. The Sons and Daughters of Oregon Pioneers has been organized to perpet uate and keep evergreen tbe memories of the pioneers. Mrs. M. L. Myrick, a grand-daughter of Dr. McLoughlin, is i's vice president. Once a year the sons daughters will meet to talk over the times gone by, and of the work and suf ferings endured by men and women, in order that Oregon might reach the high stage of development, prosperity and happiness now enjoyed by ber inhabi tants if the present day. piRsriT or convicts. It is safe to say that never agHin will the state militia be called out to catch escaped convicU when thecircumntauces are similar to those which occurred last week. It may not take a thief to catch a thief, but it is the helghlli of folly to send uniformed men In a body after des perate fugitives who take to the woods. The only reasonable method to pursue is to take the pattern of the hunted men. Sheriff. Cooke said last Sunday that he would rather hare ten (earlexs and cau tious men, weli armed and prepared for anything that came their way, than all of the militia in Oregon. This is not dis paraging the national guard. The or ganization is unexcelled for its purpose. open warfare. But they are not taught to skulk in brush aud lie in wnit for a treacherous and hidden enemy. It does seem strange, upon reflection, that two men avoided two hundred, as Tracey and Merrill avoided the poose in search of them. Several times sur rounded, they made their escape with comparative ease, eluding and battling tbe officers who were using every means to catch them or, failing in that, to shoot them down like dogs, as they deserved. They were open In their escape and laughed at pursuit. From pillar to poet, from town to country and from country to town, from wheat fields to under brush, tbey went boldly and openly, or secretly as beet served their purpose, not hesitating to demand food and cloth ing when it was necessary to them, at the point of their rifles. Tracey and Merrill will not soon be forgotten . Their escape will be a lesson to some. It will probably make the guard at the state penitentiary more rigid. If Winchesters can be smuggled over the walls without detection under! the very eyes of tbe authorities to two men, why not to fifty? Has discipline been lax? Have the lives of three good men been lost through fault? 6 Be It remembered, That at a regular term of the Hoard of County Commis sioners lor the County of Clackamas, State of Oregon, begun and held at the court house in said county and stale on Wednesday, the 4th day of June, the sums being the regular tune fixed bylaw for tram-action ol county business.

COINAGE OF SILVER DOLLARS. The currency act of March 14, 1900, war intended to establish the gold stand ard in the United States, and declared it to be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to maintain the parity. It provided for the redemption of United States notes in gold, but it did not pre scribe a definite method for maintaining tbe parity of the silver dollar. That de fect, and the recognized necessity for an increase in the volume of subsidiary coinage, is now believed to have been remedied by tbe Hill currency bill, which lately passed the House. Its purpose is to stop tbe further coinage of legal-tender silver dollars, and to use the silver bullion now in the Treasury to supply subsidiary coin. Hitherto, the subsidiary coinage has been limited to (100,000,000. The new measure removes the limit,' and tbe volume hereafter is discretionary with tbe Secretary of the Treasury. The pressure for the bill has been caused by the demands of trade for fa.lv er change, exhausting the stock on Recovers ?432u Dumugeg Against Southern Pacific Company. Rebecca Turney was Monday awarded (4325 damages against the Southern Pa cific Company by a jury in the Circuit Court. This is the result of a suit for (15,000 filed by Mrs. Turney against tbe railroad company some months ago. The plaintiff in the suit is an old lady residing just above Canemah who was injured September 14, 1900, by being struck with a stick ol wood which was thrown from a moving train. The tim ber struck on the left side of the back, breaking four ribs, her collar bone and injuring her lung. Her left arm was also permaneutly injured and rendered useless. The case excited much interest and was vigorously prosecuted by Gilbert Hedges, of Oregon City, and Alfred S. Bennett, of The Dalles. The Southern Pacific Company was represented by W. D. Fenton and J. C. Moreland, of Port land. 1 lie case involved the construe tion of court instruments regarding county roads, the railroad company claiming that they were the absolute owners of that portion of the county road lying between the fence and the' river and between the old F. X. Paquet place and a point 5100 feet south. The court orders showed clearly that a mere pre misive use or easement was given to the company with no words whatever to in dicate that they were to have exclusive use of the particular strip in Question. The plaintiff's attorneys contended that this strip had always been a part of the county road and was at the present time. This contention was upheld and verdict shows that tbe company, which simply had an easement on the road came in 25 years later and claimed the land. After the rendering of the verdict Judge McBride adjourned court until JulyS. Head It In III Newnjisper. George Schaub. a well known German citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a con stant reader of tbe Dayton Volkzeitung. lie knows that this paper aims to adver tise only the lest in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, be did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with tbe most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: "After using tbe Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, 'I feel as though born anew,' and before usiDg the entire con tents of tbe bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could again take np her household duties." He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will bear of her won derful recovery. This valuable liniment ! is for sale by U. A. Harding, Druggist. I VACATION WARRANTS, June 3rd, 1002.
