BOTH HILLS ALL MEN
Willamette and Crown-Columbia An
nounce 20-cent Increase to Ap
ply to all Men Not Affect
by Former Raise.
A raise was announced this after
noon of 20 cents a day taking effect
March 11, and applying to all the em
ployes of the paper mills wno were not
included in the raise announced on
that date to the men in the $2 a day
class.
This affects both the Willamette
Pulp and Taper company and the
Crown-Columbia Pulp and Paper com
pany, and destroys all thoughts of a
strike among the men at work in the
mills. Since the last raise, there
have been no threats or hints of any
discontent among the men, and the
management feel that with this ad
ditional raise affecting all the men in
both plants, that they are sure of har
mony from now on in the relations of
the men and their employers.
This raise was entirely voluntary
on the part of the mill owners, and Is
' part of their general scheme to secure
a contended force of men. About 400
men were affected by the last raise,
which cost the mill management some
125,000. 250 more men will be helped
by the raise announced today, and it
will mean an additional expense in
wages to the companies of more than
$15,000. This makes $40,000 more
each year that will go into the pockets
of the working men of Oregon City.
This is in keeping with the higher
wages paid all "through the west for
labor skilled and unskilled. In re
gard to the class of labor employed
In paper mills, the men working here
in Oregon City receive from 30 to 40
per cent more than those employed in
the east The scale of the other west
ern mills is about the same as that in
use here, with-the advantage, if there
is any, in favor of Oregon City.
SCHOOL OF TELEGRAPHY.
A man named Hansen Is In this city
with a view of starting a school of
telegraphy, to be known as the Han
son School of Telegraphy. Mr. Hen
son says that a great many have ex
pressed their intention to attend this
school. The location has not been
definitely decided as yet, but it is
thought that a building near tho Ca-
'nemah school will bo used. This will
be a night school, enabling many more
to attend who could not otherwise.

That's an
Expensive
Watch
No matter how little it
cost you if it doesn't tell
you the right time. That
kind of a watch would be
dear if you got it for
nothing.
A handsome case is
desirable but an accu
rate inside mechanism is
absolutely indispensable.
If you like you may
put one of our very fine
movements into a nickel
case and you will have
an excellent time piece.
What we wish to point
out is that the works are
the watch, the case is the
adornment.
And another thing we
wish to point out is that
if ever there was a jewel-
cry store that was pre
pared to please you in
Watches, this is the place
and we include our
guarantee for your pro
tection. Call in and hear our
arguments.
