I depend upon this for a living.
I will not sell you an unreliable
watch, a second-grade watch or

Services at the St. John's Catholic
church were rendered particularly im
pressive, Sunday, by the presence of
the Most Rev. A. Christie, Archbishop
of Oregon. High mass in the morning
was celebrated at 10:30 by the Rev.
Fr. Hillebrand assisted by Rev. Dr,
Urban Fischer, O. S. B., of Mount
Angel college, and Very Rev. F. S.
Beck of Parkplace. The Most Rever
end Archbishop preached a sermon at
this mass on the subject of "Educa
tion, The Marriage Tie, and Honesty."
One of Wiegand's masses was sung
by the choir under the leadership of
Mrs. John Moore and Miss Lou Drap
er, organist.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon con
firmation services were conducted,
and the sacrament conferred by the
Archbishop on a class of 78, a large
proportion of whom were grown per
sons. The choir sang various hymns
and the services were closed with the
benediction of blessed sacrament and
an informal talk by the Archbishop.
The most important feature of the
confirmation services was the master
ful sermon of Archbishop Christie.
He spoke along general lines giving
the confirmation class valuable advice
as to future conduct in life, scoring
high society's foibles in scathing
terms and. emphasizing the virtues
of obedience, honesty and temperance.
By far the most significant utter
ance of the speaker was his allusion
to the McLoughlin monument situa
tion. His suggestion opens up a new
field of thought to those who are agi
tating the purchase of the old Mc
Loughlin home or the erection of a
monument. While deploring the rather '
tardy recognition that Dr. McLough
lin is receiving, the Archbishop sug
gested that an institution of learning
would be the best memorial that could
be erected to the founder of Oregon
City. An institution, dedicated to and
named after Dr. McLonghlin, the "Mc
Loughlin Institute of Learning," would
be what the Doctor himself would un
doubtedly favor above all rhinsrs pniilrl
I his wishes be consulted.
j Archbishop Christie went so far as
I to offer the site adjoining the parochial
j school as a building place. He dele
gated tev. a r. ttnieDrancl to speak
with authority as his representative to
ward providing a proper memorial in
honor of Dr. McLoughlin.

confirmed.

BISHOP OF OREGON
COMES TO ST.
PAUL'S.
The Right Rev. Chas. Scadding, D.
D., administered the Apostolic Rite of
Confirmation to a small class of adults
at St. Paul's Episcopal church, Sun
day afternoon at the 5 o'clock service.
This was the first visit of Bishop
Scadding to St. Paul's Parish. He
preached an eloquent sermon to a
crowded congregation, many being
turned away because of lack of room.
Those confirmed were Mr. W. B
Stafford and Mrs. Thos. Warner, Mrs.
Eliz. B. Ganong and Mrs. Frank Fors-
beri
The Bishop will visit Oregon City
again early in the new year.
The altar at St. Paul's was made at
tractive as usual by many beautiful
flowers and potted plants.
Mrs. Scadding accompanied her
husband, Bishop Charles Scadding to
Oregon City. , The Bishop and his wife
and Rev. and Mrs. P. K. Hammond
were entertained after services Sun
day evening, to dinner, bv Mr. and

SIXTY DIVORCES WERE
GRANTED IN NOVEMBER
SUMMARY OF WORK BY CIRCUIT
COURT ONLY TWO
. JURY CASES.
The November term of the circuit
court closed Saturday afternoon and
Judge McBride left immediately for
Hillsboro where he convenes court
on Monday.
During this term, approximately 60
decrees of divorce were granted. Al
most as many still remain on the dock
et to be disposed of at the next term
of court. Of the criminal cases on the
docket at the beginning of the term,
the Stegman case was continued, Imel
was discharged, likewise Gross; Fos
hag was paroled and Reid received
a verdict in the Sellwood case. Over
a dozen cases were settled and dis
missed. Two cases, Boe vs. Boe, and
Oregon City vs. Clackamas County,
were taken under advisement. There
were only two jury cases during the
entire term that came to trial, the
Patrick vs. Boodean and the Sellwood
vs. Reid cases. The former resulted
in a verdict for the plaintiff and the
latter for the defendant.
OREGON CITY SUES
COUNTY FOR
ROAD TAX.
The case of Oregon City vs. Clack
amas County was argued before Judge
McBride Saturday morning by City
Attorney J. U. Campbell and Deputy
District Attorney Chris Schuebel. The
case involved the construction of con
flicting statutes. The city charter
gives the city a 60 per cent refund of
all taxes collected for road purposes.
The new law of 1903 grants but 50
per cent. Further, the county commis
sioners have divided the fund into two
distinct funds, one for roads and one
for bridges so that city has been re
ceiving, but 5 per cent of the amount,
of which they claim 60 per cent.
The amount in dispute involves ap
proximately $5000 for the assessments
of 1903 and 1904. The court took the
case under advisement and will ren
der a decision in January.

CLACKAMAS COUNTY HUMANE
SOCIETY RESTRICTED BY A
SMALL MEMBERSHIP ROLL.
ANNUAL MEETING MONDAY NIGHT
Old Officers Are Re-elected Lack of
Funds Delays Installing An
other Fountain on Main
Street.
The Clackamas County Humane so
ciety held its annual meeting in the
offices of the Bank of Oregon City,
Monday night, and unanimously re
elected the old officers and heard re
ports relative to the year's work. The
officers elected are Miss Anita Mc
Carver president, George A. Harding
vice-president, Mrs. E. G. Caufield sec
retary, and Mayor E. G. Caufield,
treasurer.
From the reports given by the vari
ous officers the affairs of the organi
zation seem to be in the . most satis
factory .state. The society is pro
gressing in better style than ever and
every report that has been made to
them concerning cruelty to animals
has been promptly dealt with. A good
deal of work was done in cases which
never came to public notice. Owing
to the society's intervention the horse
which belonged to Will . Harris and
which broke its leg in a runaway ae
cident on Seventh street recently, was
killed and relieved from further suf
fering. It had been in the care of
Mr. Montgomery of Green Point for
some days, efforts being made to save
the animal for further use.
The two most important items dis
cussed at the meeting last evening
were the installation of another drink
ing fountain along the main street at
the city somewhere and the question
of membership. The society was in
strumental in putting up the fountain
which is now located on the corner
of Seventh and Main streets and whick
has proved a great boon to residents
and visitors. As soon as the item of
funds can be adequately solved the
fountain matter project will be push
ed vigorously.
Closely allied with the question at
funds is the question of membership.
At present the active membership of
the organization numbers probably 30
people. Whatever finances are nec
essary are furnished by these public
spirited citizens. It is the desire of
the present membership to expand
and bring in a larger number of resi
dents and so create a more general
interestaand equalize the financial bur
den by distributing it more generally
as conditions ought to be. The socie
ty is carrying on a good work which,
redounds to the benefit of the entire
community and therefore the member
ship roll ought to include a larger pro
portion of the population of the city.
FIGHTING MAD BECAUSE
WAS NOT NOMINATED
HE
1
NOT A PLEASANT
WORD FOR YEARS.
Amanda E. Ferguson, in a complaint
for divorce filed Friday afternoon, al
leges cruelty and inhuman treatment
for six years running against her hus
band, Lawrence Ferguson. She alleg
es that for six years her husband has
failed to adequately provide for her
and her .children, compelling her to
work out as a domestic to procure the
necessities of life. For six years she
says, he has not spoken a civil word
to her. . . . - . . .
The plaintiff prays for a decree of
divorce and the custody of the three
children, Pearl aged 19. Silva aged 17,
and Oliver aged 13. The couple were
married at Canby in 1883.
A decree of divorce was granted the
wife at noon Saturday by Judge Mc-
Bride.
SEEK SETTLEMENT;
BOE DIVORCE CASSE.
At the conclusion of testimony in
the Johanna Boe vs. Jens Boe case
Friday afternoon, Judge McBride took
the matter under advisement until the
January term of court, pending an ef
fort on the part of the attorneys.
Grant B. Dimick and George C. Brown
ell, to effect a settlement.
When the testimony was all in,
Judge McBride expressed himself as
rather at a loss what to do in the case
under the circumstances. The com
plaint alleged cruelty and inhuman
treatment and prayed for $3,000 ali
mony. The court recognized the im
possibility of the parties further con
tinuing the relation of husband and
wife but at the same time was loath
to grant a decree adverse to the de
fendant, who seems to be a very de
serving man.
Grant B. Dimick suggested in behalf
of his client that he was willing and
had expressed the desire to sell his
farm and buy a home for his wife and
children with part of the proceeds
so they could live in peace and com
fort. The court then advised the at
torneys to get together and agree upon
a settlement, which disposition of the
case for the time being was satisfac
tory to all parties concerned.
An amended complaint has been fil
ed in the dissolution of partnership
proceedings in Smith vs. Dixon, the
Canby real estate firm, making the
Bank of Oregon City a party defend
ant. An order was obtained restrain
ing the defendant from drawing from
a fund of $500 deposited in the above
mentioned bank, and now the bank
has been, included in the restraining
order.
New York is not the only city in the
country that can hold interesting con
ventions. Hearst with his Independ
ence League cohorts will not be a
marker alongside of the hot election
that is to take place at Milwaukee
with two tickets, the Citizen's ticket
and the Independent ticket. The for
mer will be headed by Ike Mullen
andthe latter by Mayor Shindler.
Mayor Shindler was turned down
in the convention Monday night and
proceeded to denounce his opponents
and others as ingrates, pointing out
how he had helped to build up Mil
waukie with money out of his own
pocket, and that the failure to honor
him with a re-election was a shameful
act of ingratitude. "He Thade a" vigor
ous denunciation from the platform of
the convention and defied his oppo
nents, calling them such pleasing epi
thets as "rascals and rats."
He referred to the new city hall
which he says was built without a cent
of cost to the taxpayers.
"Yet," said Ben Irwin, "this very
hall was erected by the wages of
shame. The money of the gambler has
gone into this building, but we hope
to drive the monster out of our midst.
Mr. Shindler is all right, but he can
not stand opposition."
C. K. 'Ballard was chairman of the
meeting and J. S. Roach secretary.
The vote on Mayor stood as follows:
William Shindler, 34; Ike Mullen, 37.
After Shindler had his vitriolic say,
and had nearly came to blows with
ex-Marshal Dowling, " the successful
candidate, Mr. Mullen, expressed his
thanks for the honor conferred upon
him and his regret that the other fel
low couldn't accept -defeat more grace
fully. .
The other candidates named were
as follows: Councilmen, Dr. W. T.
Houser and Grant Barker; Recorder,
Fred Lehman," Treasurer, E. T. El
mer; Marshal, Edward Paetseh. This
ticket will be called the "Citizens'
Ticket." Mayor Shindler will rum
alone on the "Independent Ticket."
Will Spencer, one of the victims of
the accident at the Fourteenth street
railroad trestle Monday afternoon, was
taken to the St. Vincent hospital Tues
day morning. He was lodged at the
Electric hotel over night, where he
was attended by his mother who came
down from Portland Monday evening.
His injuries are fully as serious as
was at first reported and grave doubts
are entertained concerning the lad's
recovery. His spine is badly crushed
and he is bleeding internally as ax re
sult of his chest being crushed.
Ed Barrett has fared a good deal
more .luckily than his -partner in the
accident, Spencer. After being cared
for in Dr. Mount's office Monday af
ternoon and resting up a bit he was
able to walk without assistance and
returned to his home at Redland, Mon
day afternoon.
This makes three victims of acci
dents of the very same nature in that
locality. Comments have been rather
free the last day or so regarding the
laxity of the proper officials to see to
the alterations or repair of the road
way at that point: The accidents are
invariably due to the fact that the
road is higher on one side of the cross
ing than on the other, which situation
is very deceiving to drivers and leads
them into this death trap. No further
delay in the matter can be justified
and steps ought to be taken immedi
ately to remedy the situation.

convenient, collapsible tubes with noz

may be applied at the very seat of
the trouble, thus relieving almost in
