ASSEMBLE AT OREGON CITY.
WOOLEN MILL STRIKE SETTLED.
On O. W. P. and Railway Line
It has been determined to put one-hundred acres at Gladstone on
the market in acres tracts.
It will be sold in quantities as desired and on very easy terms to
purchasers. '
These tracts are immediately on the line of the O. W. P. and Ry.
line and are many of them in good cultivation. Much of the soil is the
finest garden land and rich enough to raise onions.
These tracts can be so divided as to present an ideal building site
on one of the best streets in Gladstone and extend back to include the
finest garden land and all in cultivation. Purchasers willing to take
unimproved or partly improved tracts can do so at very reasonable figures
Prices of tracts fronting on the motor line will be $300.00 per acre,
and from that on down to $50.00 per acre.
Understand we propose to sell a tract of level rich garden land on
the main line of the railway for $300.00, or we will sell you six acres on
the main county road to Portland for the same price.
On these cheaper tracts the timber will more than pay for half the
purchase price. .
Remember we will and intend for sixty days, and no longer, to
sell a large number of acre tracts in Gladstone for $50.00 per acre, and
every one of these tracts will have a frontage on the main county road
to Portland.
The terms in all cases will be made fair and to suit the conven
ience of customers.
Oregon City is rapidly growing northward, and any property
fairly situated lying between this city and Portland is better than
money in the bank.
We mean business. Come and make your selections.

Humphrey Jones, a prominent farmer
of" Carus, this county, was seriously in
jured last Saturday morning in attempt
ing to drive across the Southern Pacific
Railroad track in this city in front of
an approaching overland train. The oth
er occupants of the wagon were Miss
Kate Jones, a daughter of the farmer.
and Miss Edna Irish, a neighbor. Jones
was picked up in an unconscious state
and taken to the residence of W. J. Wil
son where his condition is still alarming.
Mr. Jones and companions were en
route to this city and were descending
Singer Hill, at the base of which, the
roadway crosses the railroad track. The
second section of the north bound Cali
fornia overland was just pulling out of
the depot yards at the team neared the
foot of the hill. Mr. Jones, whose sight
and hearing are impaired because of his
advanced age, he being more than 60
years of age, neither saw nor heard the
approaching train and before the daugh
ter, who observed the danger, could di
vert the team from its course, the wagon
was on the track when the collision oc
curred. By tightly applying the air
brakes, the momentum of the train was
interrupted sufficiently by the engineer
to prevent what would have certainly
resulted in the instantaneous death of
the three occupants of the vehicle. As
it was, i they were thrown violently from
the rig which was entirely demolished,
one of the horses being so badly -injured
that it had to be shot. Miss Jones sus
tained the fracture of a leg and Miss
Irish escaped with a broken cheek bone.
The scene of the accident is a dan
gerous one and the wonder is that more
accidents do not occur, since the railroad !
company has provided no protection, not

The difficulty in the weaving depart
ment of tl(e Oregon City woolen mills
has been adjusted, a majority of the
striking weavers returning to their looms
Monday morning under the terms of com
promise proposed last week by the mill
management.
In returning to the weave room Mon
day, three loom fixers and five experienc
ed weavers, broke the backbone of the
strike and the termination of the strik
er's position Tuesday was the inevitable
resuit. Seventeen of the cassimere
weavers, however, remain out . and will
not return to their old places for the
alleged reason that it was considered
ill-advised to longer contenu for an ad
vance in wages. A majority of the looms
are now in operation.
Leaders of the strike on Monday sat
isgfied themselves that the end was not
far distant, several of the operatives who
have families dependent on them declar
ing that conditions required that they
be earning wages. It was then decided
by the dissatisfied workmen that as an
organization, the Textile Union would
not figure further in' negotiating for a
settlement of the difficulty, it being
agreed that the individual members
should act as their best judgment dic
tated and secure the most satisfactory
terms possible before returning to their
woork.
Manager Jacobs compromise plan con
templates a new wage schedule that
shall be the average prices pa.d for sim
ilar work by six other Pacific Coast wool

those returning to their places. The six
mills from -which the average wage sched
ule will be computed are located at San

gerous point. This serious mishap has ;
caused a renewal of the agitation among
citizens for some such protection. While
the road reaches the railroad crossing on
a steep descending grade, approaching
trains are not visible for more than a
block distant because of the irregular
course of the company's road bed. On
the opposite side of the street houses
have been built right up to the railroad
track and without a warning bell, the
teamster is liable to accident at any time.
An equally dangerous road crossing is
located just one block from the scene of
Saturday's accident, and it, also, has
witnessed collisions that were attended
by more startling results than that of
this one.
J ule of wages will be substantially the
same as that under which the ''weavers
have been working.

Hundreds Seek Profitable Employment In
Harvesting of This Crop.
Every train and boat during the first
part of the week were taxed to accom
modate the large number of persons who
were seeking transportation to hop yards
up the Valley where for the next three
weeks they will find profitable employ
ment in assisting to harvest this crop
which means so much annually to this
state. While the yield is perhaps a fourth
short of an average crop, the deficiency
will be made up in an improved quality.
Concerning the hop outlook in the
Willamette Valley, the Salem Statesman
printed the following Tuesday:
"As the picking season - approaches,
that is, picking in general, all is activity
among the growers, dealers and fields in
this section of the valley. It it true that
a few growers, at least two on Mission
bottom and two or three in other parts
of the district, in the immediate vicini
ty of this city, have begun picking al
ready and are well advanced in the har
vest, but the concensus of opinion among
I mose wno nave oeen observing very
, closely is that it is entirely too early to
I begin picking and that there will be plen
, ty of time to start in next week. Most
. all of the growers who have the early
variety of Fuggles are at work .upon their
yards, and this variety, generally speak
ing, is about at the proper stage of ma
turity to harvest, in order to get them out
of the way for the clusters and Canad
ians. "The majority of the growers are mak
ing preparations to start in on the later
varieties the latter part of this week and
the first of next, and it may be said that
picking will be in full blast throughout
the valley by the first of next week. With
the ideal weather prevailing the hops are
coming on splendidly and there is ev
ery indication that the quality will be a
record-breaker if the growers will have
a little patience and not begin picking
too early. Every day now adds weight
and strength to the hops and the long
er the picking is pnt off, without wait
ing for the pollen to become too dry and
blow away, is making money for the
grower. There is little or nothing doing
in the hop market today, as the growers
are too busy to talk business even if they
are ready to sell, while the dealers are
awaiting the outcome of the world's crop.
as much depends upon the English har
vest.
"No matter how great the over-produc
tion, and anything of that kind is scarce
ly probable, with the New York yield be
ing lowered somewhat daily, there is al
ways a good market for choice Oregons
and they invariably bring the highest
prices, and the thing for the Oregon grow
er to do is to watch his P's and Q's to
see that the hops are thoroughly ripe
and well dried, with the finest quality
of sulphur. When all of this is done, na
ture has done the rest and they will be
certain to be of an excellent quality
which cannot be equalled, much less, ex
celled, anywhere else in the world An
other thing which the grower must bear
in mind and pay attention to is cleanli
ness and extreme care in baling to see
that v no trash gets into the bales, and
especially in the case of what is known
as the sweepings. The apparently utter
disregard and carelessness displayed in
this vital matter on the part of the great
er number of the Oregon growers last
season has caused the brewers to be
more careful of whom they buy, for they
have not the time to go through each
bale and assort the dirt and trash from
the hops. Much cleaner picking than
WILL CONDUCT A FAIR.
Molalla Grange Fathers Movement That
May Bring County Fair.'
Molalla Grange No. 310 held a very
profitable meeting last Saturday, Sep
tember 2, work being done in the four
degrees. Visitors were present from Illi
nois, also from a neighboring Grange.
Some fine specimens of grain, grasses,
fruits, vegeteables and beautiful boquets
were brought in as a forerunner of the
Fair which is to take place on the Grange
grounds on the 7th of October. Every
body is invited to bring in their exhibits
on the 6th of October. Stock may be
entered up to 10 o'clock on the 7th.
While the, Molalla Grange is the push of
this Fair movement, it is for all the
community.
Topic discussed, "When is the proper
time to gather apples and the best mode
of marketing the same."
There is to be established at this
county Fair a market place, where all
kinds of farm products and stock may
be sold for a small per cent of selling
price. Our contest is still doing good
work for the organization.
The following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, The grim reaper, death, has
again invaded our ranks and taken there
from our beloved brother J. H. Jordan,
therefore be it
Resolved, that this Grange has lost an
honored member, his son, a loving father,
and the community a respected citizen,
and be it further
Resolved, that our charter be draped
in mourning for a period of thirty days
and that a copy of these resolutions be
sent to his son at Seattle and also to
each of the county papers.

ARE YOU ENGAGED?
Engaged people should remember, that,
after marriage, many quarrels can be
avoided, by keeping their digestions in
good condition with Electric Bitters. S.
A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C, says:
"For years, my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia complicated with a tor
pid liver, until she lost- her strength and
vigor, and became a mere wreck of her
former self. Then she tried Electric
Bitters, which helped her at once, and
finally made her entirely well. She is
now strong and healthy." Howell &
Jones sell and guarantee them, at 50c

What constituted a family reunion of
historical interest above the average was
that of the descendants of David Brown,
at one time prominent in the life of
Bloomington, Illinois.
This function was held last Thursday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. D. L.
Matheny, in this city, and the guests
were entirely representative of some' of
Oregon's early pioneer families. In the
capacity of hostess, Mrs. Matheny was
assisted by her sister, Mrs. D. O. Quick,
of Halsey. D. L. Matheny, at whose
home the reunion was held, was born in
Oregon in 1S44 and is now the second
oldest living person, born of white par
ents in this state.
Elias Brown started from Bloomington,
Illinois, on the Oregon trail, in 1846 being
the first to leave the family, he being
the eldest son. Some years later, his
brother, John, went to California, locat
ing near Sisson where formany years he
had the half-way house on the old stage
route between Oregon and California.
The Eastern branch of the family and
the Western branch nor the Oregon
branch and the California branch had
never met before, this being the first
meeting since the sons left their father's
home and started for the West. Of
the sons who remained in the East, there
are now living about twelve descendants
while the two sons who came West did
their part towards discrediting the race
suicide theory, there being 35 descend
ants of Elias Browj, while his brother,
John, left 20 descendants, all of whom
surpass their Eastern kinsfolk in stature.
The re-union called together members
of the family from New York, Chicago,
Sisson, California: Salem, Oregon; Port
land, Albany, Eugene, Seattle and Ta
coma. Thirty-five of the descendants of the
Brown family sat dawn to the elabor
ate dinner prepared by Mrs. Matheny and
Mrs. Quick. Those at the table were:
Mary Jane Brown, of Chicago and
daughter. Belle Gertrude Berry, of New
York City; Martha Jane Quick, of Hal
sey, and husband, D. O. Quick, with her
children, Elias Brown Penland and Liz
zie, his wife, of Albany, Oregon, Mrs.
Clara Davis, of Eugene, and Mrs. Fannie
Starr, of Albany, also her grand children.
