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

and advertise in the Spectator." Of I

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.

INTERRUPTS A SPEAKER
Mrs. Lewelling and J. 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.

Program.
Address of Welcome, Worthy Mas
ter, Mrs. J. A. L. Casio. Mrs. Casto
likened the opening of the hall, or
i?ranKe home, to the Iujuso warmings
of olden times, when ih; neighbors
came in to help build up the fires and
make the new occupants comfortable.

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-

Mr. U'Ren took
the opposite side of the question. Ho

In his usual quiet manner made ajtho snme day. The program has not

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
