Pioneer of 1845 '
Wm. G. Welch, a 'pioneer of 184o,
died last Thursday at his home near
Clackamas. The deceased was aged
75 years and was a native of one of
the Southern states. In 1848 with his
parents, now deceased, he located on
the Welch D. L. C. in this county
where he held continuous residence
iintil the time of his death. He leaves
no family but is survived by several
brothers and sisters. Funeral services
were held at the late home Saturday
and interment followed in a neighbor
ing cemetery.
Will Entertain the Pioneers '
Arrangements have been made by
the Women's club of this city to en
tertain the. old pioneers of the county
May 23 in this city. At the meeting
which was held last Wednesday at
the home of Mrs. Goodfellow, a com
mittee, consisting of Mrs. J. W. Nor
ris, Mrs. H. E. Straight, Mrs. Ingram,
Miss Pratt and Miss Buchanan, was
appointed to make arrangements for
this event. A program will be given
and principal speakers throughout the
state will in all probability be present.
A reception was given the pioneers a
year ago by this club, and it is the
intention to give one every year.
Tax Collections
The 1905 tax receiepts in this county
show a great increase over the previ
ous year. The total tax receipts for'.
1905 to the first of April was $174,
556.37, which has been turned over to
the treasurer. The tax receipts for
February were $140,334.40 and for

Meeting of Pomona Grange j
At a meeting of Clackamas Pomona j
Grange at Tualatin last Wednesday,
50 members were initiated into the
Pomona degree. Pomona Grange by
resolution went on record as being
opposed to that part of the present tax
law that allows rebates and charges
penalty for deferred tax payments.
The Grange favors having the law
amended so as to permit taxpayers to
have until July 1 in which to make the
first half" payment of their taxes, al
lowing the usual time in which to pay
the balance with no penalty to be
charged. Resolutions were adopted
denouncing graft in the postal depart
ment, demanding that cancelling ma
chines etc., should be owned bjK the
government and not rented; favoring
I a change in the rates paid by rail
roads for . transporting the mails, it
being charged that the government
last year paid for its service a sum,
sufficient to build a transcontinental
railroad; t declaring for an extension
of the rural free delivery system and
for the establishment of a parcels
post,- '
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE TO
REST. .
Wm. G. Welch, the subject of this
brief sketch, was of Southern parent
age, and came to Oj-egon with his par
ents in the fall of 1845, and worked
for a time as a clerk and assistant in
Governor Abernethy's store. His father,-
Dr. Presley Welch, was a physician
of no mean ability, but who died not
many years after arriving in Oregon;
but not until he had established his
right to a donation claim of 640 acres
in what many of our old pioneers know
as Welch Prairie about two miles east
of Clackamas .station on the S. -P.
Here the family has lived since 1848
with the subject of our sketch as the
head of the family; having supplied
the place of his father since his death,
in the way of assisting his brothers,
sisters and mother along as best he
could. His was a generous heart as
need I say that most Southerners are
and always willing to lend a help
ing hand to those in need.- He was
born August, 1830; died April 12th,
1906. He was laid to" restApril 14th
in Damascus cemetery, by a host of
his old-time friends and neighbors.
Funeral was preached by Rev. P. K,
Hammond of Oregon City, R. L. Hol
man, having charge of the funeral.
This takes another pioneer friend
from our midst. -"Ah,
well for us all some fond hope
' lies.
Deeply buried from human eyes;
But, in the hereafter, angels may !
Roll the stone from its grave away."
We trust that his fondest hopes are
realized ; that he has entered upon that
higher and nobler work to which all
of us must be called in a few brief
present and after the .ceremony the
party partook of a wedding dinner.
The bride and groom took the S. F.
& N. north bound train for Gray, and
are now happily settled in their- coisy
little house at Glen wood Cottage. A
; large crowd of the groom s friends
gave them a welcoming surprise party
and after refreshments, nutsfl cigars
l etc., with music, vocal and instru
mental, the party - broke up in rain
storm : and returned to their various
homes, leaving behind all kinds of
good wishes for the. future happiness
of the newly wedded couple.

years. He leaves a brother, P. L.
Welch, Jr., and three sisters, Mrs.
Mary Foster, of Portland; Mrs. Annie
De Shields, and Mrs. Emma R. Capps,
both of Clackamas, and a host of
friends to mourn his demise. If he
had an enemy I do not know it; and
no man knew him intimately but to
be his friend. He led the plain simple
life and was one of the "noblest works
of God" an honest man.
The world is better that- he lived In
It. Farewell, my friend, till we meet

Nearly 5000 Clackamas County Elect
ors are Registered.
The total registration of Clackamas
county closely approximates 5000,
while the estimated voting strength
of the county has been placed at not
to exceed 4600.
The official registration gives the
following figures: Republicans, 3684;
Democrats, 884 ; Socialists, Prohibi
tionists and Independents and those,
refusing to state affiliations, abou
400. The registration two years ago
was 4439.
These totals do not represent the
relative strength of the two principal
parties in this county, since a' great
.many Democrats originally register
ed as Republicans and others subse
quently altered their registration. The
normal Republican majority ' in the
county is 750 although candidates on

. . WOMEN'S WOES,
i
Oregon City Women are Finding Re
lief at Last.
Goingi through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
a large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serions operations.
Why should this be the case ? Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. a Female troubles are certainly
on the increase among the women of
this country they creep upon them
unawares, but every one of those
patients in t " hospital beds had plenty
of warning i that bearing-down feel
ing, pain at left or right of the abdomen,
nervous exhaustion, pain in the small
of the back, dizziness, flatulency, dis
placements of the organs or. irregular
ities. All of these symptoms are indi
cations of an unhealthy condition of
the female organs, and if not heeded
the penalty has to be paid by a danger
ous operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag along
until you are obliged to go to the hos
pital and submit to an operation
but remember that Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has saved
thousands of women from surgical
operations. ' '
When women are troubled with ir
regular, suppressed or painful periods,
weakness, displacement or ulceration
of the organs, that bearing-down feel-,
ing, inflammation, backache, bloating
(or flatulency), general debility, indi
gestion, and nervous prostration, or are
beset with such symptoms as dizziness,
lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner
vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
"all-gone" and "want-to-be-left-alone
" feelings, they should remember
there is one tried and true remedy. -
Lydia E. Plakham's VeietabU Compound
The following letters cannot fail to
bring hope to despairing women.
Miss . Ruby Mushrush, of East
Chicago, Ind., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" I have been a great sufferer with irregular
periods and female trouble, and about three
months ago the doctor, after using the X-Ray
on me, said I had an abcess and would have
to have an operation. My mother wanted
me to try Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable
Compound as a last resort, and it not only
saved me from an operation but made ma en
tirely well." -
Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 813 BoyM
Street, Chattanooga, Tenn., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"Three years ago life looked dark to M
I had ulceration and inflammation or the
female organs and was in a serious condition.
' My health was completely broken down
and the doctor told me that if I was not op
erated upon I would die within six months.
I told him I would have no operation but
would try Lydia E. Pinkhanva Vegetable
Compound. He tried to influence me against
it but I sent for the medicine that same day
and began to use it faithfully. Within flva
days I felt relief but was not entirely cured
until I used it for some time.
" Your medicine is certainly fine. I hara
induced several friends and neighbors to take
it and I know more than a dozen who had
female troubles and who to-day are as wall
and strong as I im from using your Vege
table Compound." .
Lydia E. Pinkhan's Vegetable Com
pound at once removes such troubles.
Refuse to buy any other medicine, for
you need the best.

It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity; they must
"keep up," must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headache's, dizzy spells, bearing down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must waik
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills. Kid
neys cause more suffering than any
other organ of the body. Keep the
kidneys well and health is easily main
tained. Ready of a remedy for kid
neys only that helps and cures the
kidneys and is endorsed by people you
know. j
Mrs. E. Matchett, of Elyville, near
Oregon City, says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of
so much misery and backache that I
take pleasure in recommending them
to others. I had backache so bad that
I could not stoop . or straighten up
without suffering severely. At times
depressing headaches and annoyances
from the kidney secretions bothered
me. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills
at Huntley Brois.' drug store, and ob
tained relief from the first few doses
' and in a short time not an ache or
'other symptom remained. Doan's Kid
iney Pills are the best remedy of the
kind I ever used, and I wish every suf
