C OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1906.
CONGREGATION ALI5TS
LOSE THEIR PASTOR
Church Accepts Resignation of Rev.
Bollinger, Who Goes to
Portland.
The resignation of Rev. E. S. Bol
linger, as pastor of the First Congre
gational church of thia city, has been
accepted by the local church, and the
retiring clergyman has accepted the
call, received a few weeks ago, to the
pastorate of the Highland Congrega
man. In acepting the resignation
nation takes effect October 1st. The
Oregon City congregation has as yet
taken no steps looking to the selec
tion of a successor to Mr. Bollinger.
Acceptance of Rev. Bollinger s res
ignation was had at a congregational
meeting held last Thursday night and
presided over by C. H. Dye, as chair
man. In acceptingfl the resigntaiou
. the following resolutions, reported by
the committee to which was referred
the pastor's resignation was unani
mously adopted:
"We , your committee, to whom was
referred the resignation of our beloved
pastor, Rev. E. S. Bollinger, beg leave
to report that we have had a confer
ence with him and heard his reasons
for wanting to resign his charge, and
find the same do not arise from any
dissatisfaction on the part of the
church with Mr. Bollinger, nor on his
part with the church. An urgent and
unanimous call has come to him from
the Highland Congregational church
of Portland. Oregon. While the
church at present is not so large' in
numbers nor financially as strong as
the Oregon City church, the field is
very inviting, demanding active and
aggressive work, and Mr. Bollinger
has been selected by that church and
recommended by other leaders of the
church of the state for the place, and
he seems to be especially equipped for
that field.
"In view of these circumstances it
has seemed to the committee that we
had no right to stand out against or
refuse to recommend the acceptance
of his resignation, especially Since
Mr. Bollinger himself feels that it is
a special call, and that he ought to
accept. Therefore your committee re
luctantly and with sorrow yield to
what seems to us our plain duty, and
recommend that the church accept his
resignation, to take effect October 1,
1906, and that we unanimously bid
him godspeed in his new field of la
bor. And in view of his long and suc
cessful pastorate among us we further
say" to the church of Highland that
this resignation comes from no desire
or action on the part of the church,
that Mr. Bollinger and his entire fam
ily have the love of the whole church
and respect and confidence of the en
tire community, and that if they do
not rally to the support of Mr. Bol
linger and make the Highdand church
one of the largest in the denomination
in the state we shall always hold a
grudge against them for alluring him
away from us."

Wasteful America
Americans are the opposites of the
Japanese, in that they are probably
the most wasteful and extravagant
people under the sun. James J. Hill
once voiced a declaration to the ef-1
feet that the greater part of America's
progress had been gained by using up
the stored capital of preceding ages
something for which we are indebt
ed to nature, not to our own energies.
Soil, mines, oil and gas reservoirs, for
ests, fisheries all have been drained
and drained, an with little or no
thought that exhaustion of either was
calculable. We eat three times as
much as is demanded by nature and
more than is good for us, and we
throw away annually enough food to
feed the whole population of Japan.
Into our rivers in the form of pollut
ing sewage go fertilizers to the value
of millions of dollars, which other peo
ples save and which we would be
idoubly benefited by saving. We could
economize greatly if we cared to in
the quantity of iron and other metals
we use, but, possessed with the infat
uation that they will never run out,
we are as prodigal with them as with
everything else, whereas the limit to
the supply is claimed to be easily cal
culable. But it is in the waste of the
forests that American improvidence
finds its worst illustration. The na
tion has been willing to see its forests
bo devastated that the present an
nual "cut" and fire waste can be con
tinued for twenty-five years longer
without destroying every patch of tim
ber in America.

Pain From a Burn Promptly Relieved
by Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
A little child of Michael Strauss, of
Vernon, Conn., was recently in great
pain from a burn on the hand, and as
cold applications only increased the
inflammation, Mr. Strauss came to Mr.
James N. Nichols, a local merchant,
for something to stop the pain. Mr.
Nichols says: "I advised him to use
Chamberlain't Pain Balm, and the first
application drew out the inflammation
and gave immediate relief. I have
used this liniment myself and recom
mend it very often for cuts, burns,
strains, and lame back, and have never
known it to disappoint." For sale by

COUNCIL SETS PACE
RESIDENTS FOLLOW
From General Activity Oregon City
Takes on Improved Ap
pearances. Oregon City, in an official way, took
the initiative and citizens have very
generally followed the example of
cleaning up, spreading wall paper and
distributing paint to the material im
provement of the city's appearance.
The Council began by extensively re
pairing the interior of the City Hall
and various fire departments com
pany headquarters.
There is no other town of its size
in the state that is doing more perma
nent street improvement work than
is Oregon City. The Sixth-street im
provement, in the business district,
is a revelation to taxpayers as show
ing what the judicious expenditure of
a small amount of money will accom
plish. Contrasted with its former con
dition, this street in its present un
finished condition is considered worth
to the city and adjacent property-owners
several times more than the im
provement represents in dollars and
cents.
Improvements are being made to
St. Paul's church and rectory at Ninth
and Water streets. The grounds sur-
! rounding the church building are be-
teams and vehicles vhih wpk n-
! stantly displacing the watering device
and defeating the purpose for which
it was erected. The fountain has also
HUNDREDS LEAVE FOR
VALLEY HOP YARDS
As a Result, Oregon City is Largely
Depopulated Picking
Begins.
It is believed that Oregon City is
this year more nearly depopulated
than ever by reason of the large num
ber of people leaving for the hop
yards. Transportation facilities by
rail and boat were taxed for the ac
commodation of those going to the
hop yards.
The harvesting of the crop began
in some yards Monday; in others the
picking will not begin before the lat
ter part of this week or the first of
next week. With continued pleasant
weather for another fortnight the
hop crop will have been picked and
cured and with such favorable condi
tions, coupled with the splendid qual
ity of the crop, the product will be
first-class in every particular.
GEORGE NOTES
Threshing will soon be over and the
farmers are all pleased with their
prosperous crop of grain.
Mr. Irvin and Frank Watson and
Carl Jensen of Portland, were out to
spend a few days at the home of Mr.
Hans Paulson.
Several families of George have
gone to pick hops for J. Paulson and
C. Klinker at Aurora. We' hope to
see them come home with a pocket
full of money and a still pleasanter
smile on their faces than they had be
fore they left.
Miss Emma Paulson is home on a
visit with her parents. She intends
to leave again for Portland in a few
weeks.
Will Held is rapidly finishing his
large new house which makes a great
improvement to his large farm. Mr.
Adolph Miller is the favorable car
penter.
Miss Martha Paulson has been stay
ing with her father, Hans Paulson,
while Mrs. Paulson is assisting in the
care of her eldest daughter, Helena,
who has been very sick with typhoid
pneumonia in Portland. Miss Paulson
is slowly improving under the care of
the family physician, Dr. Royal.
Campers are daily passing in great
numbers to the camping grounds at
the Miller bridge. These camping

The great majority of dentists represent to their
patients that a rubber plate with fourteen teeth
set in a half circle is just as good as anything
else for a set of artificial teeth.
Some make such representations knowing them
to be false, others because they know no better.
The responsibility for this condition rests with
the dental profession.
A great many people would not accept a rubber
or celluloid plate if they only understood the
superiority of a metal plate in cleanliness, health
fulness and durability.
We would like to talk with you about metal
plates for artificial teeth. -'

MOLALLA NEWS
The exodus to the hop fields has
been going on for several days.
S. M. Ramsby was back to his old
"stamping grounds" first of the week;
gave Molalla a call Monday.
T. M. Cross has probably more cheat
seed than most localities about 1200
bushels, his portion, or quite enough
to seed a section of land, and good for
1200 tons nf tiav
Albert Moshberger has recently
connected his residence with the mu
tual telephone system. Albert can
now be reached from most all direc
tions by wire.
H. A. Kayler ,who had the misfor
tune to get his hand whirled around a
pully of the clover baler last week, is
about again, but has a very sore hand.
H. F. Kayler set a drift on fire and
as the old song goes, it got away
from him doing damages to fences.
Molalla Grange. No. 310 passed a
resolution favoring the founding of
a creamery at Molalla on the co-operative
stock company plan.
Molalla is to have a new side walk
from the depot to postoffice. the old
one has become out of date.
At the last meeting of the United
Artisan Assembly, $7.50 was donated
by that body, which is about one tenth
the cost of material, the other orders
and school board will probably come
to the front and popular subscriptions
will do the rest of the good work.
R. J. Moore caught hold of the busi
ness end of his gopher gun, resulting
in the loss of flesh from a finger or
two. "Them things" they sometimes
shoot the wrong way.
Clover seed is still turning out well,
107 bushels was the result of last Sat

5350 bushels of oats at two cents per
bushel to make $107.
