Clackamaa and ara Disappointed

the Railroad Truck.
J. II. Hold, of Milwaukee, fruit com
ttilitilonor for the first Oregon dlatrlct,
baa announced tiltt Intention of clean
lng up tho pi'Ht afflicted orchard of
CliickamaM County along tho track
of tho Oregon Water J'ower & Hall
way Company and tho Southern Paci
fic Company, and ho will hold a con
foronco with County Krult Inapeclor
A. J. Lewla and Dlatrlct Attorney Gil
bort 1 Hedge and bin deputy, O. D.
Eby, for tho purpoae of carefully lay
ing plana to force the ownera of din
eaed orchards to either upray their
trooa or cut them down.
"Marlon and Yamhill Counties are
cleaned up," ald Mr. Hold "and It la
up to Clackamaa to do the lamo. It la
atronjr and forceful argument that
hundred and perhapt thouand of
homeHeokem come from tho Kant
through California, and after traveling
through tho louthorn portion of Ore
gon and then on through Lano, Linn
and Marlon Countlea, they come to
Clackamaa and here they are confront
ed by the apectaclo of scale-Infested
trees, hundreds of acres of 'them, ab
solutely of no value to the ownera or
to anyone else. Now, I live In Clack
amaa County and I want to see it
cleaned up so that we can take
prldo In our trees that grow In aa fine
fruit land aa there Is In the whole
8tate.
"We have had test casea, one of
them In Clackamas County, and we
know just how far we can go. Our
first step s to serve notice on the
proporty owners to spray and give
them 15 days to comply with the law;
If at the end of that time, they ne
glect or refuse to spray properly, "we
wilt give ihem tholr cholco between
allowing us to upray their trees, at
their expnnso, or cutting down the
orcharda.
"It la unfortunate that In this coun
ty there are so many orchards In a
deplorable condition, and I bopo that
another year will see us on a par with
some of the other counties lu the Wil
lamette Valley.
"I would advise owners of troes that
aro no longer useful to cut them
down to wltMn 18 Inches or two feet
of the ground and then graft Much an
opplo as tho Yellow Nowtown, and In
a few years they will have a fine or
chard. The climate of Clackamas
will glvo tho apple tho color, where
It will not do It for such an apple as
tho SplUenherg, becaiiHu we do not
have Hun enough."
Mr. Hold saya that a dlHtance of 25
miles Ih to bo covered In Clackamas
County and that the effort to compel
tho owners of orchards to spray will
bo vlgorotinly prosecuted.

REV., LINDEN WILL 8TAY
Declines Flattering Offer With Large
Increase of Salary.
Rev. John M. Linden has declined a
flattering offer as general missionary
of the Baptist denomination for the
State of Oregon, at a salary that Is
$600 per year more than he Is re
ceiving as pastor of the First Baptist
church of Oregon City, and his par
lshoners are delighted over the fact
that he has concluded to remain here.
Since Mr. Linden came to this church
In Oregon City at a less salary than
he was receiving In Chicago and had
the grace to do It, It was very easy
for him to say ne to the new propo-
sltlon that was offered. The oppor
tinilty for work In this city la very
great at present, In the fact that tho
church building Is In flmt-clusi con
dltloii, tho financial status was never
better, tho benevolent offerings larg'
er and tho church attendance good.
Mr. Linden has written a letter to
the co m hi I Ueo declining the offer.
CLEAN CITY MAY DAY.
Mayor Carll Asks Residents to Ob
serve Rules or Heaun,
May Day In Oregon City will also
bo "City Cleaning Day," acordlng to
a proclamation Issued by Mayor Carll,
who, as a physician, believes that
cleanliness Is next to Godliness and
his proclamation follows;
"Believing that the custom estab
lished by my prcducessor In. office to
bo worthy of perpetuation, I will des
ignate Friday, May 1, a holiday, re
questing the schools to close and have
everybody devote one day toward
cleaning all back yards and alleys.
Tho city will furnish men and teams
to curry away and dispose of all
waste and rubbish which the people
wlHh 'disposed of. Tho neceslty for
this Is obvious; the public health de
mands and civic prldo should promot
tho people to keep our streets and al
ley cleun and healthy. I hope all cltl
r.ens will tuke sufTlclent Interest In
this matter, remembering many hands
mako light work and one day each
year will help some. Tho near ap
proach of Decoration Day, followed
by the Roso Show and Festival, should
prompt everybody to take an active
interest In the annual City Cleaning
my.
(Signed) W. E. CARLL, Mayor.
CAMPAIGNING FOR
THE ARMORY BILL
8UCCE8S MEANS MUCH TO THE
MEMBERS OF COMPANY
STATIONED HERE.
Campaigning for the success of the
Armory bill which comes up for popu
lar vote under the Initiative and Ref
erendum at the June election baa
been taken up by National Guardsmen
all over the State. The members of
Company Q stationed here at Oregon
City are hard at work explaining to
their voting friends the significance
and Importance of the measure. Suc
cess of the' Armory bill moan much
to the members of the company sta
tioned here as well as to the communi
ty at large. It would mean a handsome
and adequate Armory to be erected In
the city by the State. For the building
of armories the last Legislature set
aside $100,000 to be expended at the
rate of $25,000 a year on armories for
military stations ouUlde of Portland.
The need for armories Is a pressing
one and the construction of the re
quisite number would servo to great
ly facilitate military training.
As has been pointed out by many
military authorities tho National
Guard Iiqh come to be a part of the
first line of defense. Its Importance
In event of war would be Inestimable.
Modern warfare Is a thing opart from
the methods of warfare uxed even a
few years ago. KTho day when volun

DR. McLOUGHLIN'S
CAMPBELL, DIMICK AND
JONES FOR
Light Vote Is Cast in Primary: Election Moody For
Assessor. Mattoon For Commissioner and
llolman For Coroner! are Nominated.
General apathy waa manifested In
the primary nominating election
through Clackamaa County lat Fri
day. Tbe Republican vote was fully
1000 abort of the total registration,
showing that little interest was taken.
Tbe Statement No. 1 people were out
In force, as shown by the vote for H.
M. Cake, who carried the County over
United States Senator Fulton, who ran
well in Oregon City, but who waa un
mercifully slaughtered In some of the
country precincts. The" unofficial re
turns give C. N McArthur a majority
of 18 over Dr. W. C. Belt, tbe State
ment No. 1 candidate. Mr. McArthur'
friends gave Mm loyal support Tbe
most Interest waa taken, however. In
the fight for representative and asses
sor, and for the latter place Harry S.
Moody secured tbe coveted nomina
tion. He was a warm favorite in Ore
gon City and managed to get an even
break In the country, winning by a
margin of 90 over his nearest competi
tor, James F. NelBon. The third man
in the race was George F. Horton.
Tho nominees of the Republican
party of Clackamas County for Repre
sentatives are Walter A. Dlmlck, Linn
E. Jones and James U. Campbell, who
were the favorites In tho betting. They
had plenty of votes to spare, though
Charles 11. Dye and George W. Dixon
put up a vigorous fight When the ear
ly returns were received Dixon and
Dye were running along with the lead
ers but later Information placed them

HOME SAVED
HISTORIC BUILDING PRESENTED
TO OREGON CITY BY W.
P. HAWLEY.
GROUND BRINGS $6000.
Mayor Carll Heads a Movement to Re
tore the Structure and Provide
a Reading Room and Resting
Place for Visitor.
The old home of Dr. John McLough
lin, where the founder of Oregon City
and the father of Oregon entertained
scores of distinguished guests in the
pioneer day of the Oregon territory
is to escape destruction and a plan
was placed on foot Saturday to pre
serve the historic structure. The
ground on which the house stands was
sold last week by Mrs. J.,L. Barlow
and Captain J. T. Apperson for $6000
to the Hawley Pulp & Paper Com
pany, which intends to utilize the
ground for an auxilary manufacturing
plant Upon hearing of the transfer
of the property Mayor Carll immedi
ately communicated to W. P. Hawley;
president and general manager of the
company, his desire to save the house,
which Is old and useless from a busi

very graciously offered to give the

endeavor to raise a fund of a few

move the building on city property ad

the old house for a free reading room
and a rest room for visitors, Thla
plan will unquestionably be met with
enthouslastlc approval, for their is no
place of this kind in Oregon City.

property offered to sell the building
and grounds to the city, and the pro
ject waa fathered by E. G. Caufleld,
who was mayor at that time, but on a
referendum vote the proposition waa
defeated, as the city was in debt and
the majority of voters considered it
unwise to 'add another "burden to Its
finances. The new scheme, however,
will cost Oregon City nothing, and
there 1 no question of its success.
'The McLoughlln house has long
been a familiar landmark here, and
the building was so stoutly construct
ed that the ravages of time have left
it in fair condition.
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
