ttreete Sprinkled With Oil. The muni
cipal aiithurltlra of Oregon City last week
caused a barrel of crude petroleum to be
sprinkled on a aectlon of Main street aa
a lin ana of solving the dust problem. If

ment and the dust during the summer
months proves a disagreeable element
with boalncae men and citizens generally.
There haa been made some complaint

buildings. Other than for thla objection,
t tie use of oil In this capacity see ins to
have pi oven a success aa an experiment.

An Exciting Runaway. Several Ore
gon City people wltneased a runaway
Tuesday morning, thut was sensational
In the extreme and still did not reault
In an Injury to the young lud who was
in charge of the team. In deacendlng
the Seventh street grade with the brake
placed, the team, pulling a heavy load
of cordwood, got beyond the control of
the young driver and dashed at break
neck speed down the grade. Reaching
the foot of the hill, the sharp turn waa
made without Incident other than the
Hpllllng of a purt of the wood. With
the plucky lad stUI hanging onto the
reins, the team continued on Its way.
Reaching Main street, the horses headed
for the business district of the city, but
when near the court house the young
driver managed to steer them Into the
curbing and a telegraph pole, where by
standers took the fractious animals in
charge. In muklng the turn at the foot
of the hill at the railroad, It is consid
ered miraculous that the entlie wagon
was not overturned and the boy prob
ably killed.
General Crop Summary. The weather
during last week was variable. Ths 28th
and 29th were very hot, after which It
turned cooler and good ralna fell in the
eastern sections, but none of consequenc.
occurred In the western part of the state.
In the Willamette valley the drought
continues and all late crops are suffering
and badly need rain. The fall grain har
vest has Just begun, and it will become
general In about a wek. The crop is
KiMid neurly everywhere, except In the
Grande Ronde and Powder river valley,
where It was badly damaged by tha frost
of laat week. The frost In that aectlon
was unusually severe, and, besides dam
aging grain In the head. It cut all tender
vegetation to the ground and Injured con
siderable fruit. Spring grain ta doing
poorly, especially In the Willamette val
ley and In Southern Oregon, where it is
heading so short that fears are enter
tained that many fields will have to be
cut for hay. Good progress has been
made in harvesting the hay crop, much
of which Is now safely secured. The yields
are generally reported light, especially
timothy, which In a number of localities
turned out to be almost a failure. Vetch
yielded well and clover was but slightly
below the average. Hops, corn and po
tatoes need more rain; potatoes have suf
fered the most. Hops, although still
green, have not their usual vigor at this
season of the year, and the growers do
not expect a full crop. Some damage to
alfalfa by grasshoppers Is reported, but
otherwise all crops are remargably free
from Insect pests. Apples continue to
give promise of good yields, and It 1
ixpected that a fairly good crop of peach
es will be picked.
In Favor of ths Msdlsons. Tucsdny
morning Judge Ryan rendered his decis
ion In the celebrated Lars Anderson will
contest case. Judge Ryan sustains the
validity of the will that was probated,
and by the provisions of which the entire
estate, consisting of property of the value
of 11600. Is bequeathed to his nephews,
Fred and Peter Madison, both of this
county. The will was contested by Peter
Rnsmussen, of Denmark, another nephew,
who produced another will alleged to have
been written two months prior to ths
date of the will that was probated. Ras
mussen also alleged that the will favor
ing the Madisons was Irregularly exe
cuted, In that he. claimed that Anderson
was mentally Incapacitated from execut
ing a will at that date because of the
opiates with which he was being treated
and because of which it was claimed that
the deceased was not In hla right mind.
Ths case will be appealed to tha circuit
court by U'Ren St Scheubel and Gordon
E. Hayes, who appeared for ths contest
ant, Bosumssen, O. W. Eastham con
ducted the case for the Madisons.
Wanta Damages for Crushed Hand.
The Oregon City Manufacturing company
haa been made defendant In an action
for $3000 damages brought by Ida Mund
henke, guardian of Walter F. Mundhenke.
To-.ing Mundhenke was employed by the
defendant company at Its woolen mill
plant In this city, his work consisting of
the carrying of yarn or filling to the
weaving looms. The complaint alleges
thnt the box Into which these fillings
were deposited was placed dangerously
near the weaving machinery and quite
near an exposed gearing. It Is also
charged that the mill floor, being oily,
waa in an unsafe condition, causing tha
young man to slip and fall, placing his
hand in the gearing and because of which
two of the fingers were crushed off and
the hand permanently injured. The corn-
Went Up Against It. There are times
hue belo when one bites off more than
he can conveniently masticate, and that
was the experience of nine young men
from Oregon City who went to Silver
ton last Sunday on an engagement to
play two games of ball with the Sllverton
Busregatlon, one on Sunday afternoon
and another game as a specially adver
tised attraction for the Fourth. The
Sunday game waa abbreviated, so far as
Innings were concerned, but proved al
most unending to the Sllverton lada,
who made the circuit of the diamond to
their hearts' content and their physical
undoing. There was simply nothing to
It. The Sllverton boys made 22 runs in
the initial Inning In the game, In spite of
the efforts of the Oregon City bank clerks
and counter Jumpers to put a stop to the
fireworks. Becoming ashamed of them
selves the management of the Sllverton
nine decided to call the game off and see
If the visitors could not recuperate with
a night's rest. In the meantime, the Ore
gon City lads telegraphed home for re
enforcements In the shape of another
pitcher, but Monday's game was prac
tically a repetition of the previous con
test. Both games were quite disappoint
ing to both the audiences and the mem
bers of the vanquished team, who enter
tained a faint Idea that they knew some
thing about the game. Since the young
men constituting the local team are pret
ty good fellows and especially opposed to
Joshing In any form, the reporter will not
give their names, and will only add that
if It was possible for them to have made
a poorer showing they probably would
have done so. The early calling of both
games unquestionably saved the Oregon
City lads greater humiliation.
For forty years Dr. Fowler's Extract
of Wild Strawberry haa been curing sum
mer ' complaint, dysentery, diarrhoea,
bloody flux, pain In the stomach, and It
has never yet failed to do everything
claimed for It.
