John Shepherd of Seattle, a deputy
sheriff for Kings county, Wash., was
In Oregon City, Friday, on bis way to
Wllhoit springs for the benefit of bis
health. Twenty-six years ago, Mr.
Shepherd, then a resident of Portland,
took the same trip, and this was his
first visit to Oregon City since that
time.
He was surprised at the. growth of
the town and surrounding country, for
he had not given the matter thought
and had come expecting to find every
thing Just as he remembered It was
over a quarter of a century ago.
The only industries that he remem
;rs were here in 1880. were a small
woolen mill and still smaller grist
mill. That little woolen mill was the
child that grew to the present giant
plant of the Oregon City Manufactur
ing company, the largest ewoolen mill
west of the Mlssippi and employing
hundreds of operatives.
Instead of a "still smaller grist
mill," there are the great mills of the
Portland Flouring Mills company.
iThere were no -paper or pulp mills
26 years ago and where now stand
the mammoth buildings of the Wil
lamette Pulp & Paper company and
tho Crown-Columbia Paper & Pulp
company, was a rocky beacn. And 01
course there were not electric plants,
water works, furniture factories, plan
ing mills or sash and door factories.
The business district has probably
uebled in size and correspondingly
improved in charactr of the buildings
since Mr. Shepherd was here on his
first trip to Wilhoit
The most interesting part of Mr.
Shepherd's visit was his predictions
as to the future, judging from the past.
and from the current opinion in such
cities as Seattle and Portland. A man
ufacturing center of large proportions
is the destiny bf this town according
to business men In the Sound metropo
lis.
The first outside meeting In promot
ing the building of the electric road
from Oregon City to Molalla will be
held at Beaver Creek in about two
weeks.
The members of the committee se
curing subscriptions to stock. Judge
Grant B. DImick, Judge T. F. Ryan
and John Adams, are certainly meet
ing with encouraging success. Every
man asked so far has resnpnded with
a liberal stock subscription.
Two examples of the feeling along
the proposed right of way are the of
fer of a very large land owner near
the southern terminus who offers a
free right of way over his land, and
to take $1000 in stock; and the other
was an owner of land In a place the
road must go, and from' whom trouble
was expected, but who voluntarily of
fers to deed free a right of way.
Outside capitalists are already of
fering to finance the building of the
road as soon as it is fairly started.
There will be no promoters profits,
say the men in charge, and they are
well known in this county, and have
too large Interests at stake to deceive
the people.
' The timber traffic alone will make
the road a dividend payer says Jndge
DImick. -
The probable route of the line Is 09
Newell creek and across to Beaver
creek- thence to the headwaters of
Buckner creek, thence down Buckner
creek, thence to the headwaters of
and up the Molalla river, following
the. rich timber belt
EXAMINE ELECTRIC WIRING.
In response to the invitation of the
Oregon City council, representatives
of the Pacific Fire Underwriters made
an examination of the electric wiring
of the business' houses and some of
the residences last week and found
conditions bad, and the wiring in many
instances faulty, a menace to property
interests and danger to life. A report
will be prepared and submitted to
the council. It - will also cover the
wires of the power, light street car,
telegraph and telephone companies in
the street. It is thought the only saf
ety lies in requiring all wiring on Main
street to be put under ground.
NUMBERS ON BEFORE
INSPECTOR COMES
Saturday was' a great day at St.
Helens. A big crowd assembled on
the site of the old block house in that
pioneer town jand witnessed the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the new
courthouse for Columbia county.
The places of honor at the affair
were given to the pioneers who cross
ed the plains and settled there, or
were born there in the forties or early
fifties. There were 52 present who bore
the honored title of pioneers, among
whom were the Hon. T. A. McBride, of
Oregon City, , Hon. Geo, W. McBrlde
of Portland and F- C. Perry of Molalla.
The first newspaper published at
St, Helens was the Columbian, start:
PREREQUISITE TO FREE MAIL
DELIVERY STREET SIGNS
ARE RECEIVED.
The street signs recently ordered
by the council have been received and
will be posted at all street intersec
tions at once.
The plat for numbering of houses is
completed and at the office of City
Recorder Dimick. All householders
are requested to call and get the num
ber of their residences. A prompt re
sponse to this request is necessary
since the Inspector that was delegated
by the Postoff ice Department to visit
Oregon City and investigate condi
tions here preliminary, to establishing
I the free mail delivery service, is ex
pected to reach this city at any time.
Before free delivery can be started
the names of all streets must be post
ed and the residences must be prop
erly numbered. Residents can hasten
the starting o fthls service by com
plying with the conditions of the num
bering ordinance.

ENRICHES LEE HEIRS
ESTATE APPRAISED AT $4310
SOLD BY GOOD BUSINESS

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
A meeting of the Oregon City board
of trade will be- held Friday night
when several matters of Importance
will be considered. ' A cement manu
facturer at Kansas City is looking for
a site for a plant that will employ
250 men.'" ' ' - '' " - : '" " v'
Through U'Ren & Schuebel, his at
torneys, Heman A. Lee, executor of
estate of his father. Philander Lee,
filed his final report Tuesday.
Philander Lee died In 1887. The
estate consisted of 346 acres of land,
appraised at $4310.
The executor had the tract resur
veyed and it was found to consist of
383 acres. Since then he has sold It
off in small tracts and parcels, so that
after paying all expenses of adminis
tration the receipts from the sales
will net the heirs nearly $10,500.
There is an example of faithful
stewardship and honest administra
tion that should be useful to the Ore
gonian to "point a moral or adorn a
tale."
CANEMAH-SALEM LINE.
L. B. French and J. B. Ryan are
again active in securing or renewing

that the line is to be in operation by
