The lively rol licking cjlletie sons are not the only style of aonga whicn the Stanford Musi cal Clubs ren ler. The Glee Club rise to a higher piace and sings high class musio with a precision and line shading which rouiet only from long, diligent practice. The mandolin club plays with a dash and go, typical of Stauford men and Slandfoid spirit. The big nvlodrarnatic sensation, "The James Boys in Missouri," has made a big hit everywhere presented. There is a roniitntic love story running through the play, iinuense comedy and some very surprising effects; every act ia mounted in a new and novel manner and the most realistic train robbery scene that hat ever tieen put on any stage forms one of the most interesting and exciting stage pictures ever attempted. John Barred and Harriett Lee are with the company. "The James Boys in i Missouri ' will he the ottering at the Hhively Opera House, Dec, 23 Victor Erickson, a well-to-do farmer who reeides at Cams, was doing busi ness in Oregon City Monday. Mr, Erickson is perhaps one of the most successful farmers in Clackamas county, He has labored for twenty years on his farm clearing away the tangle wood and slumps and today when passing his beautiful ranch you see as fine a piece of rolliug land as can be seen in Clacka mas county. If you ask Mr. Erickson why bis products always come out ao well and wtiv his crops universally look so line he will explain that hard work, and nothing short of haid work did the business. Moral Hard work will win when directed with a will. The production of the big scenic melo dramatic play, "The James Boys in Mis souri," will be the offering at the Shively Opera House December 23, and there is every indication of a general interest be ing taken in the event as it is a play out ol tiie ordinary and embraces a series of sensational features, as well as a pretty love story away from the conventional. The comedy element is also of the breezy sort and a general dash assists in the ac tion. Every stick of scenery required for a detail production is carried and is both massive an picturesque, "The Blue Cut Train Robbery" being particu larly effective. The company includes John Barrett and Harriett Lee and a host of others of ability. Y. M. C. A. on Boon. It Is more than pleasing to the many friends of the Y. M. C. A. in this city to learn that alt the work of the organization is progress ing more rapidly than ever before in its history. The able secretary, Mr. Seth Leavens, declares that the typewriting, shorthand and bookkeeping classes never have done better work than at present. The work is under the per-' sonal supervision ol toe secretary and under him the class is growing. In the gymnastic line everything is looking up, about a hundred members take daily in terest in this attractive part of the work. Plans are now nnder way to arrange lor a game ol basket ball at the Y. M. C. A. A T POPULAR rooms in this city with a strong team of players from Chehalis, Wash. The lime of the game is as vet undecided but will probably be New Year's Eve. December 14th Misa Tillie Belle Rouse, ol Brownsville, Oregon, was united in marriage to Mr. W. S. May at the residence ot Kev. and Mra. W. L. Molloy, at Ely. A large assembly of guests were present to do honor to the occasion and many valuable and useful presents were left with them as tokens nf kind regard and warm friendship. Misa Koumt haa been ever since ber earliest childhood, a resident of Browns ville. She has many admirers and irienda who entertain for her high re gard and whose best wishes will always attend her. Mr. May is no less favored with a warm following of friends, he is a carpenter by trade and is at present working for the Crown Paper Co. on their new pulp mill. Mr. and Mrs. May intend for the present to make their resi dence in this city and will live at the home of Kev. and Mrs. W. L. Molloy for the time being, where they will be pleased to meet their friends. "The James Boys in Missouri" is the title of the latest melodramatic produc tion which will be seen at the Shively Opera House, Dec. 23. Thire is a pretty love story nicely woven throughout this nlav and the adventures of the James Boys are depicted iu a somewhat thrill ing manner as weil. There are lour acts and each is environed with a .handsom scenic dressing. Tne play is staged in a decidedly finished manner and the com pany is of the better kind headed by: John Abbott and Harriett Lee, who have won distinction heretofore in prominent productions. The famous Blue-Cut hold up, which took place in 1S81, is shown in a very vivid way. The immense train runs on to the stage in full view of the audience and all of the features of this great train robbery are shown in a real istic manner. The other acts ate no less inteieating and "The James Boys in Missouri" will be found to be the best dramatizaiion of affairs concerning these well known characters. School Report.

Last week more than outdid itself along the social line. Wednesday evening one of the prettiest and most enjoyable dances of the season was given by the Knights and Ladies ot security in Willamette Hall and Thursday evening witnessed a large assembly of young people at the Armory, where, under the auspices of the merry Dancing club, a most delightful evening was spent. Bell Wouldh't Work. The ropes on the Cataract bell are worn out and too short for service. Saturday night, whea the W. H. Young fire occurred and it be came urgently necessary to arouse the firemen, the bell could only be operated by one rope and that rope was so near worn out and so very short that no con trol of the bell could be bad. Wake op, fellow Cataracts, and replace this worn out paraphernalia with new and remem ber "a stitch in time saves nine." Christmas Nioht Ball. Christmas night Mr. and Mri. Turney will give their usual Chrietmas ball at the Armory and the affair will more than surpass all former entertainments of a similar na ture. Two elegant prizes are to be given to the neatest dressed lady and gentle man, and to the most graceful cake walker there is to be awarded a beautiful prize also. The Turner orchestra, con sisting of four artiets, will furnish music for the occasion, and as their work is al ways of a high order, no one can afford to miss the treat. The spacious hall will be lavishly dressed in fern and evergreen and the floor will be in perlezt order tor dancing. Fins Teasels. Mr. Gregory, the tea sel grower, of Carus, who has grown fifty acres of teasels this year on hie place at Carus. was in the city Monday with a large load of excellent teasels. Mr. Greg ory ia now busily engaged, with bis help, trimming his teasels and preparing thorn for the market. He has been for several years engaged in the work of raising these invaluable things and be is now perhaps the best advised man in the cul ture of teasels in Clackamas county. It is Mr. Fregory's present intention to rent more ground this season and set it out to teasels; the demand is greater than his ability to supply it. The teasels are of a very fine variety this season and are bringing a good price. A Hose Cart at Green Point. That part of this city known for so long as Green Point haa been shamefully slighted in the way of equipment for putting out fire, there being no hose cart, hose or fire bouse within three quarters of a mile of the place. This condition haa been brought to the notice of the city fathers and at their last meeting they very wisely ordered a cart and a hundred feet of hose fitted up and sent tbere to be kept in easy reach of the people when needed. An old cart and some hose, somewhat worn yet serviceable, has been sent to Green Point, and we commend the action heartily. A little blaze among frame houses may work great devastation when alienated from an apparatus for extin guishing the same and it has truly been a wonder that some one has not been burned out before ibis. Christmas knives at Cbarman's. The ' Cut Price Druggist. pax Foot Ball on Christmas. The pres ent plan now is for the foot ball player of this city, under the able management of Mr. Grorge Cal iff, to engtge in a game with the Vancouver team on the west side at Willamette Falls. A good game is assured as every man on the home team is strong in his position and the op ponents, from all. that can be learned, are locking in neither courage nor in strength. Manager Califf haa been care fully training bis men every night at the Y. M. C. A. and he predicts an exciting game on Christmas afternoon. The Van couver team is not from the soldier ranks but is composed of fully as good material from the town. A small admittance fee will be charged simply to cover expenses) and the public generally is invited. Fire in a Dwelling. A few taps of the Cataract bell Saturday night an nounced that fire had broken out some where and it was soon discovered in the bouse of W. H. Young, near the railroad When the firemen bad arrived on the scene the flames were burning with dan gerous virulency, having totally envel oped the inside of the rooms of tbe house, Fireman Hartman was, a usual, the first man on the scene and to him is chief!; due the credit of putting out tbe rapidly spreading flames; he quickly ad justed tbe hose to tbe hydrant and per sonally applied water the the burning parts. Just how the fire started, as in most every case, is a mystery ss every precaution possible was employed to guard against such things. Had ton fire been less promptly attended to, the en tire block including livery barn, dwell ing houses, restaurant and saloon would in all probability have gone np in smoke, as all the buildings in that locality are wooden.
