that wint placed In the ciuih i mIoiid al
the time of the ileillcallon of tho build

The n-iiHon for the cornerKtutie belnK
dliiturlied was no account of the now
front that ban been put on tliu build
Iiik'. At tho time whi n tho cornerHtono
wan laid none ever thought that they
would Ilvo to hoo tho papern dlMturbeil.
For twenty yearn paHnerby havo
bruMdi'd cloHi) to the records that
would tell Homo day, If thero ahould
happen to be any dlMimter rnmn to tho
city or country, what tho bulldlrifj was
ami what It wan iihimI for. It would
tell of tho myiiterleK of Manonry and
the bbttory of the country.
Hut tho demands of trade mado It
i
noceHHary for the old building to bo j
torn apart and tho cornerntono had;
to k wild It. It was torn out and
the records given to J. R. Humphreys
whii put them In tho vault of tho Hank
to Oregon City for nafo-koeplng. In
their Jong burial, water hnd roacdod

procured and the original papors j Stafford, Oct. 3. Clover seed la

thing not now thought of disturbs It. the daytlmo and walk about some,
or It Is taken out for mmw similar but his eyes aro badly affected and
reason sued as the present. The new
resting place of th" documents and
coins will not be exactly In tho corner
of tho building but will bo under the
pavement and people passing near
the front part of the building will bo
within u few Inches of tho records,
which, by the way. aro hermetically
Healed.
It was the Idea of a member of tho
Masons to havo some services at tho
replacing of the cornerstone but as It
was neeessary for tho work to bo
done at onco tho plan wns given up.
The present lodge, Multnomah No. 1,
was Instituted In 1 S 17. receiving Its
charter from the ft rami Lodge of Mis

One of the relics that tho local Masons
take pride In Is an old hnrsehldo
trunk that crossed tho plain In 1817
In which their charter came and which
they have now In their lodgo rooms.

HOPE FOR SPUR TO
VALLEY TRACTION
West Slders Expecting Short Line to
Portland by Way of
Oswego.
At the present season of the year,
tho men engaged In the business state
that thero aro not as many real es
tate transactions as take place later
on. The business Is not as active and
the market so strong, yet there are a
good many sales and some large ones.
"At this time of year," said one
1 real estate manipulator, Friday,
i ''thero does not seem to be as many
I transactions at later on in the year,
; 1 ... n,lir ij Ht..nvs n little slnckinc
un ,.fnro tho wintcr fnirlv sets In.
j ..IUlt though a number of people
aro 8oUing tnor property there does
j not sopm to bo any of them leaving
j tm COHIltrVi The purchasers are for
j the most part strangers, people from
tho East, who aro seeking a home, and
the old residents still remain in tho
country.
"Tho land that Is in most demand
nt tho present time Is that on tho
west stdo of tho river and is situated
near tho proposed lino of tho Willam-
etto Valley Traction company's car,
Uno. People are buying all kinds of
land out in that section
They aro do-
ing it for tho reason that they eX'
; pect tho railroad will enhance their
property In a few years and render It
a profitable Investment."
People living on tho west sldo of
the river are in hopes that as soon as
,tho Willamette Valley Traction com-
pany runs Its lino through to Port -
land that tho company will extend a1
slon bridge. From the bridge to Os
wego is about five miles and this
would make tho trip into rortlnnd a
great deal shorter than It is at the
present time. A railroad lino to Port
land on tho west side of the river
has been talked of a long time and
It seems likely that at some time in
tho near future such a lino will bo
a reality, especially so when the Wil
lamette Valley company is building
so close .
