rounding of the Warner home, and
decided on meaHitrea that will greatly
Improve the appearance of the Mount
Pleawant itchool.
It was decided to paint the Hchool
houae, and to beautify the ground by
aettlng out tree and shrubbery. The
Mt. Pleaaat Hchool enjoys the dlatlnc-
tlon of being one of the moat proKres-
alve and bent conducted schools in
tho dlatrlct, and the members of the
board are bent on keeping up this rep
utation. It. H. Tabor, one of the mem
bers, leaves shortly for a trip to the
(ant, where he will look over other
country schools and the way they are
conducted with a view to obtaining
suggestions for uhg In his own school.
The other member of the board are
C. T. Andrews and A. C. Warner.
After tho hualnoH was concluded,
Mr. Warner served delicious refreshments.
Ole Anderson, a Swede, was hurl
ed twenty feet Into the air, by an
accident that happened Wednesday af
ternoon while blasting stumps on the
farm of George 11. P.rown, two and a
half miles south of New Era. Ander
son siiHtalned the loss of both eyes,
a broken noso, a fractured rib and an
ugly gash over one eye.
It seems that Anderson had lit the
fUHO of two sticks of dynamite, one
of which appeared not to have been
lit, and when Anderson went back to
light It. both, chargea exploded at
once with the above mentioned result.
Anderson regained consciousness In
the evening. It Is thought he will re
cover, but he Is sure to be a cripple
for life.

Councilman Knapp mounted his hob

moving them from where they could
contaminate the other tree. He said
that the duty naturally rested with
the fruit Inspector, but that there was
more than one man could poaslbly do
to cover the city and the country also.
Ho said that It would take at least
four week to go all over the city no
tifying those who had Infected trees
to dispose of them, and as much long
er to go over It again to see that the
notices had been compiled with. He
advocated the council's aiding in thia
work, either by passing an ordinance,
or making It the special duty of the
committee on parks.
He was followed by C. W. Swallow,
who backed up Mr. Lewis In his plea
for giKid trees, and Councilman Rands
moved that the matter be referred to
the proper committee. 7lil3 motion
was amended to read that notice of
the council's action be published In
the papers, and that all publicity pos
sible be given the matter.
The council then adjourned to be
called together again Immediately In

GLADSTONE MAN IS
QUIETLY MARRIED
James Wilkinson of Gladstone and
Mamie Baxter of this city slipped away
quietly to Portland Wednesday after
noon and were married. The news of
the marriage came as a surprise to
their friends, for no one knew that
they were contemplating anything of
the sort. After the ceremony .they
came back to Gladstone on the car.
and hoped to get into their honje
without the fact being known that they
were married, but some one on the
car recognized Mr. Wilkinson, and
thought the lady was hi sister. It
happened however, that his sister was
on the car herself, and then It waa
known that Wilkinson was bringing
home a bride.
Both of the young people are well
known here the groom being one of
the most prominent florists of the
northwest, and the bride having lived
In Oregon City all her life. The cer
emony waa performed by the Rev.
A. J. Montgomery, who was at one
time pastor of the Presbyterian
church here.
A team belonging to M. G. Mclnls
ter of Molalla became frightened and
ran away Thursday noon on Seventh
street.
Mr. Mclnlster had Just finished un
loading a wagon load of hogs at Brown
& Welsh' meat market near Seventh
and Center streets and was settling
hi bill preparatory to leaving when
the team started. He managed to
climb in the rear end of the wagon
and grasping the tyies succeeded in
calming the runaways by the time
they reached Madison street.
Dr. Norris was driving up Seventh
street In a light buggy unconscious'
of the runaway behind him and un
doubtedly would have been killed had
it not been for the remarkable pres
ence of mind shown by Edward John
son, who grasped the bridle of the'
doctor's horse and pulled it out of
the path of the runaway. It is said
that the doctor had a very narrow es
scape from death, the runaway missing
his buggy by a very narrow -.margin.
