ure the services of Senator LaFollet,
of Wisconsin, will be renewed this

No Change in Rates
Contrary to numerous verbal and
published reports, there -will be no
change in present schedule of rates
on the O. W. P. & Ry Co.'s lines be
tween this city and Portland, says the
Oregon City Journal correspondent in
Saturday's paper. Treasurer Fred S.
Morris of the company said yesterday
in speaking of these reports: "The
Oregon Water Power & Railway com
pany is a business institution, conduct
ed on business principles, and in the
future, just as in the past, it will run
cars to and from Oregon City for busi
ness purposes. No change will be made
in the present tariff of passenger fares
until it is shown to be good policy to
make the change."
G. A. Steele Candidate for Treasurer
George A. Steele, it is. rumored, has
entered the political arena as a candi
date for the Republican nomination
for state treasurer. This gives Clack
amas county two candidates for this
office, as County Judge Thomas F.
Ryan has been in the field for several
months and is understood to have built
up a onsiderable following in differ
ent parts of the state. Mr. Steele was
postmaster of the city of Portland at
one time; has been chairman of the
Republican state committee and has
been the committeeman for Oregon on
the Republican national committee'.
In connection with his brother, James
Steele, he built the line from Oregon
City to Portland, now owned by the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Co.,
and was identified with street railway
building in Portland.
Beat Husband's Drunken Companion.
Tiring of the weekly debauches of
her husband, who makes a practice of
becoming intoxicated every Sunday
with strangers, whom he invariably
takes home with him to assist in abus
ing his wife, Mrs. R. McKinstry, last
Sunday afternoon became enraged and
arming herself with an ax handle, as
saulted Joseph Busch, her husband's
companion, whom she beat severely
and then called the police, to whom
she surrendered the disturber, who
was lodged in jail on a charge of dis
orderly conduct. Busch was badly
handled, and although armed with a
club, with which he attempted to de
fend himself, was not equal to the
emergency. Sunday's fracas at the
McKinstry home is the culmination of
a series of similar quarrels, but this
is the first instance in which any of
the participants have landed in jail.
McKinstry was ; not arrested. i.

Charmin & Co., City Drug Store
Wednesday was a holiday of celebra
tion for Estacadans. At 3 o'clock in
the afternoon every business house
in town closed, and all the people vis
ited the brick factory to witness the
manufacture of the first pressed brick.
After a brief dedicatory speech by
Mr. G. W. Morrow the ponderous
machinery was set in motion, and the
Estacada briclj factory was at work
manufacturing a fine quality of press
ed red brick from clay out of the earth
not farther than a hundred yards from
the factory. When the big press turn
ed out the first brick the crowd gave
a loud hurrah. About 400 brick were
made, and nearly everybody carried
one away with them to keep as a sou
venir. The plant is ready for continu
ous work, and will turn out 20,000
brick daily. Manager Belknap and
Superintendent Smith have completed
one of the best brick plants to be
found anywhere in the west. Already
the company is figuring on making
large additions to the plant. Estaca

$25,000 FOR A STORY.
Think of it! Twenty-five thousand
dollars for a story! The highest price
that has been similarly paid in Ameri
ca to any author. And this for just
the exclusive right to print the story
in this one publication no right to
publish it in book form being included.
Consider the quality of merit, the
intensity of interest this story must
possess to command this extraordi
nary price. The "White Company"
has ever been accepted as the great
est work of any author, and by far su
perior to his own "Sherlock Holmes"
tales but "Sir Nigel," says Conan
Doyle himself, surpasses them all.
Conan Doyle receives this fabulous
sum for his "Sir Nigel," which begins
in the Sunday Magazine part of next
Sunday's. Record Herald. Do not fail
to buy the Record Herald for next
Sunday. December 3, as this great ro
mance by the world's greatest writer
of romantic fiction xwill be the sensa
tion in the literary world for months
to come.
Eczema, scald head, hives, itchi
ness instantly relieved, permanently
cured. Doan's Ointment. At any drug
store. .
BIBLE HEADING AT STONE.
There will be a bible reading at the
church house at Stone, Clackamas
county, commencing January 1, 1906
and continuing for --ten. weeks.. All
persons are heartily invited to attend
these readings, to which there will be
no tuition charges. Two dollars and
a half per week will be asked for
board and lodging, this being simply
enough to cover the actual expense.

of Seattle, Washington, will conduct
the readings and he will be able to
preside over a class of 100 members.

A lame, a weak or an aching one.

They cure every form of kidney ills.

Mrs. M. W. Custer, residing at 535
W. Second St., Albany, Oregon., says:
"As a result of a cold sometime last
Fall my back became so lame that I
could hardly get about at all. In the

night's rest was broken by too fre
quent action of the kidneys. A box of
Doan's Kidney Pills was procured for
me. I noticed taeir good effects after
taking a few doses and in ashort time
I was cuVed.' When I find a remedy
that does all that is claimed for it I
am only too pleased to make the fact
known to others. I consider Doan's
Kidney Pills the best remedy I ever
used."
