There is a perrenial charm about a

jolly college boys. 1'hey are generally
wholesome nomteuce, anJ they go with
a swing and an abandon thai makes
their spirit infectious. The lively rol

to a higher piace and sings high class

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.

the company. "The James Boys in i

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

the work of the organization is progress

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

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.

A Plia'axt Social Week. 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.

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.
