THREE DAYS
CLEAN UP
Mayor Caufield Designates
Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday of This-Week
MAYORS PROCLAMATION
All Citizens Called Upon to Unite In
Effort to Make Our City
Clean and Attrac
tive. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
this week have been designated by
proclamation of the Mayor as cleanup-days,
when every householder,
business man, In fact every citizen
is expected to do bis share In making
Oregon City a city beautiful.
There are a score of reasons why
this request should be compiled with,
any one of which Is sufficient. Appear
ances, sanitary reasons, fire protec
tion, added value to property every
one of which Is conceded, and each
appeals in Its own way for a general
and thorough observance of the pro
clamation. The benefit of a general clean-up
day was made plainly evident last
year.
Back yards, alleys, roofs, heds, va
cant lots and streets are all In for
a special treatment, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. The city will do
Its part, says Mayor Caufield, and ev
ery aid possible will be given citizens
in disposing of trash and rubbish.
Wherever It Is possible the trash
should be burned on the premises, but
where that can not be done, the city
will cart away if placed In compact
piles on the street. There is no fund
from which that cost can be met, so
everyone who Is able should dispose
of his own rubbish, either by burn
ing or wiring It carted away. Follow
ing is the
MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION.
By request of the council of Ore
gon City, I hereby designate Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday, April 25,
20 and 27, as cleaning-up days and
earnestly hope that all citizens will
unite In an effort to make our city
cleaner and more attractive.

Mayor.

fortunate residents of Madison trepf.

, BAFFLING FIRE IN
BUSINESS SECTION.
i
What threatened to be a serious
fire broke out Thursday morning at
10 o'clock in the rear of Mrs. Slad
en's millinery store on Seventh street.
The blaze was caused by a defective
flue, and had it not been seen at the
start by L. Adams, there might have
been a big loss.
The firemen experienced difficulty
in getting water to the blaze, but when
put In play the flames were immediate
ly checked and quickly quenched.
The building is owned by the Meth
odist church and ds Insured for $500.
The damage will probably not reach
more than $100.
A large crowd gathered on Seventh
street and in tho rear of the buildings.
j Big volumes of .smoke came through
I the roof of the lean-to addition where
the fire caught and the hose had to be
dragged over this roof to the inside
wall next to the church before ef
feetive play on the blaze could be had.
The Fountain hose and the Columbia
H. and L. wagon were out.
