Albright's butcher shop a two and a
half dollar gold coin that was made
in 1838. The coin was found at a
depth of about two feet and was en
tirely untarnished, being as bright as
! the day it left the mint. Mr. Rainey
has been offered for the coin an
amount double the actual value of the
gold piece, but he has decided to re
tain the money until' he can learn if
there is offered any special premium
for gold money of that denomination
issued in 1838.

Fire at Woolen Mill
Early last Friday evening, the pull
ery at the woolen mill plant of the
Oregon City Manufacturing Company,
was discovered ablaze. An alarm was
promptly sounded and the several
companies of the city's volunteer fire
department made a splendid response,
succeeding in extinguishing the flames
before any great damage had resulted.
For a time, the fire threatened the en
tire plant and it is only due to the ef
ficient work of the department that
the loss was not greater. In apprecia
tion of the good work of the fire de
partment, Manager Jacobs, of the
woolen mill company, on Saturday
through Chief McFarland presented
the boys with a check for $25 accom
panied by a note expressing the com
pany's appreciation of the work of the
department on this occasion as well
as in the past.

Many Bills Are Filed
The expense to Clackamas county
taxpayers for the capture of Smith,
the desperado, does not end with the
paying of the reward money of $250
that was offered. The indications" are
that the reward will constitute the
smaller part of the expense item. Bills
aggregating more than $300, have been
filed with County Judge Ryan who re
ceives statements of this kind almost
daily. These claims are for expenses
alleged to have been incurred by mem
bers of the various posses during the
pursuit and capture of the outlaw.
Thejt consist principally of board, bills.
Judge Ryan says that the policy of the
County Court will be to allow all
claims of this kind that are right upon
the showing being made that the ex
pense was necessarily incurred and
by persons actually connected with
the posses. These claims will be dis
posed of at the next term of the Coun
ty Court.

Some Benefits From Operation of New
Planing Mill.
Few persons realize the magnitude
of the plant that is being equipped in
this city by the Oregon City Planing
Mill Company and what this enter
prise actually means to Oregon City,
says 'the Telegram. The company ex
pects to start the mill about June 1,
and the advantages directly and indi
rectly that will accrue to the commun
ity in its operation are many.
Forty men will be employed in this
city but the capacity of the enterprise
for furnishing employment does not
end there. The management of the
mill has contracted to take the output
of six saw mills of Clackamas coun
ty. Including the men employed in
the sawmills, in the logging camp and
as teamsters in delivering the product
of the mills to the market at Oregon
City, the local plant will indirectly
furnish employment for at least 21
other men at each of the half-dozen
sawmills. The combined payroll of
the men who will be thus employed
will constitute no small item and the
bulk of this money will be spent right
here at Oregon City. The capital that
is represented in this business was
altogether subscribed by Oregon City
people and the enterprise is one in
which the city has a direct interest.
The usefulness of this mill extends
farther than as an employer of labor.
It is directly contributing to the de
velopment of Clackamas county by
hastening the clearing of land and
placing the same under cultivation by
providing a ready and remunerative
market for the timber with which a
great acreage in this county is plenti
fully supplied.
Oregon City has for some time been
a poor market for lumber and con
tractors and builders have been com
pelled to have their building material
shipped Into the city for the reason
that it was impossible to make these
purchases at home. One of the main
object 3 of this mill management will
In his quest for campaign plunder,
ex-Sheriff John J. Cooke, chairman of
the Clackamas county Democratic
Central Committee, finds himself
obliged to look elsewhere than to the
financial condition of the county for
badly needed ammunition to dislodge
the claims of the Republicans to elec
tfbn at this time that they may con
tinue the business administration of
affairs that has been established.
"May I have the privilege of exam
ining the records as to the aggregate
amount of the county warrants that
have been issued since April 1, 1905,
the date to which outstanding war
rants have been called in for cancel
lation," inquired Mr. Cooke entering
the office of Treasurer Cahill, one day
recently.
"I can save you all that trouble,"
retorted Judge Ryan, who chanced to
be in the treasurer's office at that
time.
Judge Ryan then informed the mi
nority party leader that the actual
Indebtedness of the county, a fact
Cooke was seeking, was but about
$25,000 and that if available funds
now in the road fund could be applied
in the cancellation of these warrants,
the indebtedness of the county would
be reduced to at least $14,600.
This was more than the Democratic
chairman had bargained for. He fail
ed to remain and secure for himself
a verification of the statement of Judge
Ryan that can be had from the county
records.
