1 I OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MAKCII 22, 1007. EARLY DAY NEWSPAPER Mayor Cauficld Obtains Copy of First Paper Printed In Oregon City "OREGON SPECTATOR" Fine Specimen of Early Day Journal ism Edited by W. G. T'Vault Booms Oregon as Place to Live. Mayor E. G. Caufleld has just come Into possession of a valuable relic In the shape of the first number of the first paper published In Oregon City. This is Volumel, Number I of the Spec tator, published on the 5th day of February, 1S46. Mr. Caufiold obtain ed the paper from a company of auc tioneers in Montreal, Canada. The paper Is interesting not only as an example of early journalism, but also for Its historical value as well. It is a four column, four page sheet, with fourteen inch columns, and the press work on it is as good as could be turned out these days. This par ticular copy Is exceedingly well pre served, showing that it has been care fully kept by someone. On the first page appears a report of the legislative committee advising the adoption of an organic law by tho territory "until such time as the Unit ed States of America shall extend their jurisdiction over us." This Organic Law was the basis of all laws that have since been enacted and was pass ed by the territorial legislature of July, 1843. In the December session of 1843 there were some minor amend- ments made, which are printed ln this issue of the Spectator. There Is also on this page a copy of a proposed - act to prohibit the sale or introduc tion into the territory of any liquor whatever, except by a practising phy sician, who may sell it in quantities not to exceed half a pint This act,jtee in charge ,g E Q Hottman, W. subsequent bibtory shows did not pass ; Clark and T. B. Cummins. John Peck the legislature. On the editorial page the editor, j W. G. T'Vault, makes his bow to tne public as the editor of a newspaper, and announces his intention of kee ing politics strictly out of the columns of his paper. However, he wishes it distinctly understood that he is a Jef fersonian Democrat, and believes th3t the principles put forth by Jeffe.-soi are the only ones capable of bringing : about a good government. Another editorial on City Govern- j ment contains the following advice: (jeniiemen, uig up me stumps, gra;iO the streets, tax dogs, prohibit hogs - j and advertise in the Spectator." Of I course the advantages of Oregon City are boasted or and the salubrious 1 ously ill with pneumonia.

A notice is inserted informing Don't neglect your cough. Statistics show that in New York City alone over 200 people die every week from consumption. And most of these consumptives might be living now if they had not neglected the warning cough. You know how quickly Scott Emu Is ton enables you to throw off a cough or cold. ALL DRUGGISTS the public that the next mall east would be carried by II. Hums for one trip only to Weston, Mo., and from there forwarded to all points in the United States. The postage Is plac ed at fifty cents for a single sheet. The advertisements in this Initial number of the Spectator do not take up much space. There is a two-Inch card of the City Hotel, kept by It. M. Knighton, and F. V. Pottygrove ad vertises certain goods just received and for sale In tho Rod House. He also states that he has a branch store located in a town twelve miles down the river and called Portland. John Travers and William Glaser announce that they aro ready to manufacture hats, and C. E. Pickett offers for salo certain lots at the juncture of the Clackamas and Willamette rivers. A notice to the members of the Masonic fraternity Is Inserted, calling a meet ing for the purpose of taking steps to secure a charter for a lodge. On the fourth page Is the text of a law providing for the establishing of a postoffice department and the office of postmaster general, and the articles of compact whereby the Oregon print ing association is formed for tha pur pose of printing the Spectator. Morse's telegraph is . commented on in an extract from the Boston Daily Advertiser, and the prediction Is made that before long it will revolutionize the methods of communication be tween cities.. The last column con tains a clipping from the Louisville Democrat telling of a man with his wife and twenty children passed through that town en route to Oregon. That was In the days before race sul clde had been thought of.

D, Stev ens Break in on W. S. U'Rcn While Speaking. The members of the Mllwuukle grange are very angry thnt the exor cises attending tho opening of their new hall last Saturday should have been marred by the unseemly Incident that occurred when one of their speak ers was Interrupted and Insulted. W. S. F'Ren was speaking on the farmer in tho legislature and his remarks were not acceptable to J. D. Stevens and Mrs. S. V. dwelling, who inter rupted him frequently. Mr. U'Ren silenced the man with some well chos en sarcasm, but paid no attention to tho woman, who tried to be us Insult ing as she was able. Mrs. Lewelling, It Is said, has been very bitter agnlnst Mr. U'Ren for sev eral years, and never loses an oppor tunity to Injure him If she can. Stev ens Is the man who attempts to con vert the world to Socialism on the street corners of Portland, and Inci dentally to get a livelihood for him self at the same time from the col lections he takes up. Mrs. Lewelling was strongly hissed by the grange members when she at tempted to Interrupt the speaker, and the officers made what apology they coul( tt Mr ,j.Ren Mrs. Lewelling denies that she tried to Insult Mr. U'Ron. and savs that her interruptions wero not of the rotten eRR quaiity. She admits, however. .bringing up old scores In her remarks referring to tho legislative hold-up. Opening in Detail.

Song by grange. Prayer, T. It. A. Sell wood. Richard Scott ln his remarks on grunge progress said Mllwaukle grange was organized in 1891 by Brother Cas sell; only four of the charter members are living, they being present, at this meeting, and their namen are Mr. and Mrs. T. R. A. Sellwood, Richard Scott and John Oat.field; there is now a nombership of 140; the motto of the grange is Faith, Hope, Charity and Fidelity, and the object to live that the world might be better, because of their having lived in it. Dr. A. M. Webster of Portland, in the ton minutes at his disposal, made ,i (iplendid speech, full of humor and facts. Ho referred to a note book and said he had read advice on making speeches, which said a good talk Was made off hand, but one should be well prepared before hand. He. went on to explain that every organization has a mission the church, the lodge, tho home, the grange and tho latter has a place that can not bo filled by any other organization. One of the most discussed topics among farmers, la how to keep the young folks on the furm. He declared the grange the best means of all. MIsb Scott of Mllwaukle sang a beautiful contralto solo accompanied on piano by Mrs. Elsott. Oscar Eaton familiarly called among grange mem bers, Father Eaton read an original poem that brought down the house. Col. Robert A, Miller of Portland spoke on the subject. "The Farmer In tho Legislature." He would ad vise none of It. "Hotter not try to knock out middle men and eliminate every one but the farmer" wero his words, Sot a good example In tho grange by not trying to control. Mr. Miller's remark "There are no strikes among farmers." was applauded. He said every good cause suffered martyr dom; lot them suffer not for the granges but by the granges for tho people. At the close of Mr. Minor's remarks. Father Eaton arose to ol Jeet. He said "The farmer needed a representative In legislature to have a fair show." The Mllwaukle orchestra, piano, violin and cornet, enlivened the af ternoon's program and was encored soverul times. ' U'Ren'g Address. A ton minute address by W. 8. U'Kon of Oregon City on the same subject as Colonel Miller "Tho Farm- 'or In the Legislature Mr. U'Ren took the opposite side of the question. Ho ! believes the farmer the backbone of j the country, Is not only privileged 'but It Is his duty to have a voice In the legislature. Ho said we have no rlRnt tH b,am wh(,r w (,() fc ... j to remedy, tanners In tho lcglsla- ture were becoming more common and I jtwo of tho foremost members of the .last assembly were farmers and grang-! ers.

He said the grange being the girls will choose a name for their a large and well organized order wns capable of producing legislation for the best Interest of the farmer. Song "River of Time," by the grange. Mrs. Evans of OsweKo, puro food Inspector, advocated the weigh ing of products by state standard weights, and measurements, also de termining their purity. Mrs. Mildred Ruegg Isert ably handled 'Tho Grange as a Social Factor." Sim not only desires but requires compan ionship. He is a social being. The grange Is an organization that fur nishes this need to the tiller of tho soil and his family. It Is an organiza tion of tho farmer and for the farmer and shows that rural life has its pleas ures. It Is for exchange of ideas, good cheer, fellowship and mak.-s the workaday life of the farm easier. She advocated a Juvenile grange to Inter est tho younger people. As a social factor, Mrs. Inert concluded, tho grange will ever stand for purity, so briety, Justice and right living. The farmer ls a breadwinner and like Atlas carries the world on his shoulders. The day's program ended by the singing of "America," by the com pany. No one can attend meetings llge this whether a granger or a stranger with- Dpice Perfection Sold on Merit J.A.FOLGER&C9?
