Buegfar Toolst Found.
The dllseovery of a complete outfit
of burglar's tools, including a plentiful
supply of dynamite caps, iu a room of
a local lodging house faera Tuesday,
created some' excitement. The lancb
lady reported the discovery to the
police but the occupant of the room
recovered his . property and departed
for unknown parts before the proprie
tor of the house returned with the au
thorities. Several days ago a stranger
called at the house and engaged a
room, explaining that he would be
joined within a few days by four com
panions for whom he also desired ac
commodations. It is believed here
that the stranger and his, asaooiatea
comprised a gang of professional hold
up and all-round generally bad men
who expected to operate at Portland
and other surrounding points,' main
taining a rendezvous in this city.

according to reports the high feeling

Iester fellows had the honor of
representing the absent one. - High

Increase of business necessitated the
creation of two more offices, namely;

treasurer; and Fred Heft, vice-president.

The Direct Primary Nominating
Election Law is not thoroughly under
stood by a great number of electors
throughout the county. Some of them
refuse to give the party they affiliate
with. We don't know whether it is
fear or shame, or both combined. It
is useless to tell some people any
thing about new things. They are
grounded in " the old rut and are de
termined to stay. there. Where igno
rance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. If
they would learn and commit to mem
ory only the six words, to-wit: "The
party nominates, the people elect."
The cobwebs from their vision would
vanish and light would appear, but,
will they do it?
Deserves Your Patronage.
The placing of a straight Demo
cratic ticket in the field at the coming
June election was unamiously agreed
to at a meeting of the Clackamas
County Democratic Central Committee
at a meeting held here Wednesday.
The meeting was one of the most
largely attended and enthusiastic
ever held by the minority party in
this county, eighteen of the forty pre
cinct committeemen being pres
ent in addition to a large representa
tion of Democrats from many of the
precincts. O. D. Eby was continued
as Chairman of the organization.
W. B. Stafford, J. E. Jack, H. E.
Draper, H. F. Latourette and J. A.
McGlashan were appointed a commit
tee to arrange the details of a banquet
and Democratic love-feast to be held
in Oregon City, Thursday, February
9, when there will be addresses by
Governor Chamberlain and other prom
inent speakers within the party.
It was decided to make an effort
to secure the registration of all voters
before the tme for holding the Pri
mary election in April and to that end
it was ordered that each precinct
committeeman arrange for the holding
of meetings in his precinct when the
details of the primary and registra
tion laws can be explained. Precinct
committeemen to fill the vancies in
the County Central Committee were
named as follows: Eagle Creek, J. J.
Budd; Boring, James Stone; Harmony,
Alfred Clarke. ' The passing of the hat
netted $7.75 for incendental expenses.
Prospective candidates for county
officers were not suggested at the
meeting although the mention of J. E.
Hedges, of this city, as the probable
candidate of the Democracy for State
Senator was enthusiastically received.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SENATOR.
, The growth of a community and the
success of its local institutions depends
entirely on the loyalty of its people. . It
is well enough to preach "patronize home
industry" . but except the service given
at a home institution equals that of out-
of-town enterprises, this argument car
ries no weight and is entirely disregard
ed, as It should be. But with Oregon CiU
people it is different. A few months
ago E. L. Johnson established the Cas
cade Laundry. It is equipped with the
latest improved machinery and is daily
turning , out work that is equal to any
and , superior- to - much, of the laundry
work that 4s. being done in Portland.
Being a home institution and furnishing
employment for many Oregon City people
it is i enjoying an- immense patronage.
The high standard of the work being
done commends it to the general public.
Laundry left at the O. K. barber shop win
be promptly called for and delivered to
any part of . the city. Telephone 1204.

Harding Precinct, Clackamas Coun
ty, Oregon, January 18, 1906. Mr.
Editor: I hereby announce myself
an Independent candidate for State
Senator, in this county. 4
I am sixty-six years old; was born
near Springfield, Sangamon county,
Illinois, and emigrated to this country
in 1851. By occupation a farmer. Have
worked at the printing business, taught
school, mined, chopped wood and grub
bed. Never held or ran for office, ex
cept school director and clerk.
Politically, I hail from the Demo
cratic camp, and entertain Socialistic
views. Am a Woman Suffragist and
a temperance man never having been
so drunk but what I could walk a crack
in the floor. I shall be pleased to
meet my opponents and discuss the
living issues of the day at any, time and
place. If the people of this county
see proper to give me a seat in the
Legislature, I propose to go there
with my hands unbound, and serve
them to the best of my ability.
Fellow citizens, I hope to meet you
all later on, when we can reason to
gether. Respectfully,
N. F. NELSON.
