and Miss Louise Huntley gave a cred

in Concert Paraphrase demonstrating
marked ability as an Instrumentalist,
She was generously encored. The ex

MORE RURAL R0UTE8.
Territory for Three Additional Routes
is Examined.
K. C. Clement, government, lnspect
i or of rural delivery routes, was In
: the city recently and with Postmaster
Kandall Inspected the territory cov
ered by three petitions asking for the
: establishing of that number of addi
tional mall routes from the Oregon
City office.
On these inspection trips, especial
ly when the route for a proposed new
.uilvprv H(,rvW Ik evamlned Inr.ctnr
: Clement has attached to his buggy a
cyclometer "by which the actual dls-
rier and not sufficient territory' for
two routes and the inspector will be
unable to recommend that it be es
tablished.. One of the other proposed routes
1 extends southerly from Oregon City
through Canemah to a point beyond
! New Era, thence returning via Mt:
' Pleasant over the South End Road to
this city. The third route petitio-jed
for passed northerly through C'iacja.
.mas Heights beyond Holcomb's school
and returning via Parkr'iace t0 Qre
gon City.
j These last tv;0 mentioned routes
tare too small In themselves and the
! number of patrons to be served too
limited, to iustifv the emense of indi-
- ividual carriers and the inspector will
probably recommend to the govern
ment that the two routes be combined,
making the figure "eight" with one
carrier to supply the patrons on both.
By this arrangement, the zovernmpnr
win re able to satisfactorily pay
one
carrier.
Postmaster Randall is diligently at
work in his efforts to secure for the
people of Oregon City a free delivery
of mail. With the cooperation of the
people in the numbering of residenc

GENERAL SUMMARY.
The weather during the week was
unseasonable cool, due in a great
measure to the excessive cloudiness
that prevailed. As the week progres
jsed temperatures rose gradually, until
at the close they were above the nor
I mal throughout the greater portion
l of the section. Frequent showers oc
j curred on almost every day! but they
. were generally light except along the
coast, and in I'matilla County, where
I the heavy rains that fell during the
. fore part of the week resulted in bad
ly swollen streams that, in many lo-
were, however, rapidly subsiding to-
ward the close of the week. Low tem
peratures occurred throughout the
Columbia River valley on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday: but no
frosts were observed. The winds
were generally light, and during the
fore part of the week wereSfrom the

Unknown Friends.
There are many people who have
used Chamberlain's Colic, Chalera and
Diarrhoea Remedy with splendid re
sults, but who are unknown because
they have hesitated about giving a
testimonial of their experience for
publication. These people, however,
are none the less friends of this rem
edy. They have done much toward
making it a household word by their
personal recommendations to friends
and neighbors. It is a good medicine
to have in the home and is widely
known for its euros of diarrhoea and
all forms of bowel trouble. For sale
by Howell and Jones.
