It has been apparent for some time that Clackamas County was not receiving
Its just share of the immigration flowing into the State. This has come about
largely from the fact that other localities have made special effort, through local or
ganizations and in the distribution of literature, to Induce and invite newcomers into
their respective counties. Clackamas County has to pay a large sum as its part of
the appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fair, and it ought, in all good conscience,
to receive its proportion of the awards in the way of new settlers to buy up our sur
plus lands, and aid in the building up of new industries.
For the purpose of helping myself, and directly and indirectly this great county,I have
opened a real estate office in Portland, at 233 Washington Street, Labbe building,
first floor, and will be open for business on and after April 1st. Capt. James P.Shaw,
late of Hood River, who was associated with the real estate department of my office
some years ago, will have charge of the Portland office, and will be a full partner in
the real estate department of the business, both in Portland and Oregon City. Hav
ing lived many years in Portland, Capt. Shaw has an intimate acquaintance with the
metropolis and its people. From now on we will have special opportunities for sell
ing real estate left with us. We shall make a specialty of the following properties:
Clackamas County Lands
Oregon City Investments
Gladstone Property
Hood River Fruit & Berry Lands
And shall at all times try and attract capitalists to take advantage of the untold re
sources of this great county. We wish to increase our list of farms for sale and can
promise faithful and efficient service.
Would be pleased to have visitors to Portland call and get acquainted with
our plan of selling lands.

Improvement of the Willamette river
between Portland and Oregon City wa
the Ural river and harbor work approved
by JuiIkb Taft altr he took the cilice at
Hecietary ot War. There ia no money
available to carry out tha work, so that
nothing can be (lone until river and
harbor bill ia pwd by the neit Con
K,rB. Ttie report on the nubject waa
aiada by Major W. C. I-anfitt. incharKe
of river and tiarbor work for thia aevtlun
of the country, upon surveys made by
David B. Oitle', asHistant eugitii-er, aa
nisled by II. L. (JillMtrt, junior engineer,
and waa approved by the lioard ol Engi
mvrs on July 11, 1WU. It baa been
printed as a Houe Uocuinent. A new
dipper dredge lor the upper Willamette
will be completed in Auituai, but there
ia no money to operate it.
The improvement propoed is to create
a i-bannel 12 leet deep at low water from
the Madmon bridge ai Portland to Ub
Weuo, a dintance ol right miles, and at
leant three ami one-h if feet deep for the
other four and one-half miles to Oregon
City. IStich a channel is all the more
necetnury now that the paper mills at
Oregon City are UHing oil aa lilel and the
Oregon Iron A riteel Company deire to
Iraintporl ore direct 'nitn Mrxiuo to its
works at Uwego in steam schooner ol a
draft of about 17 feet. Thia plan has not
been definitely c!ei-ided on, and the pres
ent plan lor a 12 foot channel, the report
says, will prohtthly serve for some tune
to come any development of lee-drfi
romnieire, a for ahout eight months ol
the year ihe river is unc-hy four to aiz
feet above lo-ater mark.
The ttrnt obstruction be removed in
going up 1 lie) river is a itravel bar for
about ItOO feet in the channel on the
went aide of Ross Inland, two ciles above
Madiron bri Jge. Thia will involve the
dredging of 4tj,000 cubic yards of gravel
and and to nmke a channel 12 feet deep
and 1M) fuel wide. A short shoal oppo
site Hell wood haa only eight feet of water
on it, and it ia proposed to remove 8000
cahic yarda here, luia dredging is es
timated to cost $14,000, and the annual
maintenance cost is placed at $2000. The
construction nf a deflecting dam at the
bead of the Hues Island channel to a
height of eight leet above low water ia
estimated to coat 130,000, the purpose
being to maintain the dredged channel,
but this ia not recommended at present.
Elk rock, five and one-half miles up,
and Oswego ieel, seven and three-quarter
, miles up, are pronounced somewhat of a
menace in longy weather, but it ia be
heved that there is ample width of chan
nel at these points and that buoys will
be all the work that is necessary. Cope
ley's rock, nine miles up the river, ia
mote or less dangerous to navigation, be
cause it is almotU in mid-channel just be-
ow a deflecting rock ledge on the lelt
bank, and boatx have to swing around in
a awilt current at nirlil angles to their
course to pang it. Its removal is recom
mended at a cost ot f.'ioU).
Dredging at Jennings, Mehlram s and
Mugoon's bars, between ten and eleven
miles ui. is recommended : also the
dredging of the bar at the head of Clack
amas KaCids, which boats cannot paxs
without lining on account of the swift
current. The agti-aa'e ot 01 these
parts of the work is estimated at (1500.
Ihe report continues:
As at present there is but little if any
necessity lor the 12-foot channel to Ob-
wego, the dredging tn obtain it should he
deferred. All the other work, however,
hotild be done as soon as funds are
available, and to this extent the locality
ia worthy of improvement by the general
government at the present time. This
work can be done for To 100.
The commerce of the Upper Willam
ette for the vear 1901 ia stated at 101,901
tons of freight ami 103.971 passengers.
The greatest improvement in the navi
gation of the Upper Willamette would be
the purchase by the government of the
locks at Oregon Citv, out a report on this
eubject, made about a year ago, still
Bleeps In one ol the 'lepartments at
W ashington. Probably ttie legal ques
tions involved are being investigated in
the attorney-general's department.
There tan t money available lor work
on the Upper Willamette thia year, not
even for snagging, although the snag-
boats should be oerated for three or lour
months every season. The funds re
maining lor the lower river are only
euflicieut to ran the dredge Ladd the
whole season ana the Columbia part of

the bars, but the exact location can only

Gyrus Townaend Brady, the author,
bad occasion to consult his physician
for a alight ailment on one of the ex
tremely cold daya recently. He waa
busily engaged in his literary work on
tbe doctor's arrival. (lurrying into the
reception hall from bia library, lie said :
"Doctor, I wish yon to get through with
me assrieedily as possible. I left the
hero and heroine bv the aide of little

will freeze to death if I don't get back
soon."
President Hadley, of Yale, haa won a
wide reputation as a teller of good sto
ries. One oi his favorite talea runs as
follows: "A Methodist preacher was
vigorously expounding the text, "There
shall be weeping and wailing and gnash
ing of teeth." "Aye," be said, "there
shall be gna-hlng of teeth !" "Yes," he
shouted, pounding the pulpit with his
Gut, "there shall surely be gnashing of
teeth"' "But I ain't got no teeth!"
shrilly piped up an old woman who had
been worked up to full realization of
her sins by the preacher. "Then, mad
am," yelled the minister, turning in ber
direction, "tly will be provided."
The late John MacMahon, of the Irish
bar, although Celt, had a ponderous,
heavy style, and no sense of humor. On
account of being deaf he agreed, out of
policy, with any remarks made by the
judge, even though he did not understand
what was said. On one occasion he was
appearing before a master of the rolls,
who thought MacMahon waa arguing
rather elementary law for such a court
aa his. "You are speaking aa if I were
mere tyro in the law, Wr. MacMahoo,"
said the rr muter of rolls, testily. "Quite
so, my lord," (.aid counsel, airily, pro
ceeding with hi argument oblivions to

opposed the suaoeiiaion of tbe ruiea ou

this to mean that it will be imposKihle
to secure rale bringing the bill to
a vote, but as Speaker Cannon is un
doubtedly in favor of the appropriation,
and General Urosvenor, of Ohio, a mem
ber nf be committee on rules, is with
him, tbe probabilities are tbat the com
mittee will decide that the majority of
the bouse it entitled to pass this lega
tion, and therefore a special rale will be
granted. ,
Oeneral urosvenor said after the vote
was taken : "The committee on rules is
computed of pretty good fellows, and
they are pretty apt to act in a decent
manner."
It ia doubtful if Dalzell, the third Re

will stand out against his Republican
colleagues to prevent tbe action the ma
