It Is stated that the objectionable fea tures Incorporated In the amendments last December will be eliminated. Que change that was then advocated. Aiat of giving publicity to proposed ordinances by posting them on bill boards Instead of publishing them, was vigorously antagonized, as was the amendment to change the manner of making street assessments. It Is understood that the new charter com mission will present some plan, dif ferent from the one now In force, for the cost of Improving streets. It has been suggested that the num ber of councllmen be reduced from nine to five, electing two at large and one from each ward. Instead ot choos ing three from each ward, as is done at present This change will also be discussed by the members of the com mission, and a copy of the- proposed amendments, after being passed up on by the council, will be placed in the bands of every registered voter before the annual city election. . v- It '5 r 7.

Five hundred fine Eastern brook trout, measuring from 12 to 18 Inches, have been providing excellent fishing In the Willamette River for the but few days, and thereby bangs a tale, i Frank Bosch has for several years been caring for and feeding trout In j a pond adjoining his residence on the i hill, but as the fish grew It was neces- BIG MILL AT OREGON CITY PLANT TO BE ESTABLISHED WILL CUT 75,000 FEET OF LUM BER DAILY. MERCHANTS TAKE HOLD nary to move some of the fish, as the I Organization Means That at Lsast pond was overstocked. Mr. Busch took about 500 trout and placed them In a pond that be made on a lot near his store building on lower Main street. Twice a day he fed them and they were thriving and attracting much attention until last Monday night, when copious showers of rain fell. The next day when Mr. Uusch went to feed his trout, he was sur prised to find that none of the fish came to the surface of the pond, and investigation showed that every last one of the speckled beauties had es caped Into the Willamette River. The rain bad caused the pond to overflow and . the fish had worked their way through the thin stream of water down an Incline Into the river. Mr Busch,. like the true philosopher that be is, lakes the loss of bis trout calmly. $6,000 Will Be Added to the Monthly Payroll of This City.

It always seems to me that our local political speakers go a long way for their arga- 4 ment; what does the average voter of today care for the panic of 1837, '57 or '84? Why not come down to the time that even the youngest voter has not forgotten, the hard times from 1892 to 1897. The writer was then engaged In the lumber business. In a small way. In the southern part of Clackamas County, and well do I re- t member how tittle there was to do In those years. I think It was In tho summer of 1895 that one of my enterprising Plymouths made her nest In the dust pit under the saw and laid a dozen eggs before she was disturbed. "Poor deluded victim," as Mr. Weller would say. "She didn't know that the fruits of ber industry were only worth six cents, and payment threatened In a fifty-five cent dollar. Id those days we offered our lumber at (4.50 and (5.00 per thousand, and paid the men working in the mill 75 cents per day. In the autumn of 1896, when the returns from the September and October elections came tn. business began to pick up, orders came in slowly, but on the day after McKlnley was elected we loaded ten teams with lumber, more than we had done In twice ten weeks be- fore. We are selling lumber now at (8.00 per thousand and pay our help (1.75 per day. Do those men want us to put our product down to the old price again and cut out the dollar on their wages? If so, let them help & elect Bryan and his windy Isms; time will do the rest J. S. YODER. MISS GRAY ELECTEO TEACHER. McLOUGHLIN WINS GAME. Football Team Wins From Eaatham by Score of 5 to 0.

Miss Jeanie Gray, of Oak Grove, was elected a teacher In the Oregon City Schools. She is a graduate of the University of Oregon, class of '07, and a member of the Tau PI Sorority. She will probably be assigned to sev enth and eighth grade work, as these grades are overcrowded and an addi tional teacher is necessary. The di rectors let a contract to F. SI. Par sons to finish one of the upstairs rooms in the new addition to the East- hum building, that Is now approaching completion. The addition embraces four rooms, but it was originally planned to finish only the two rooms on the lower floor, and reserve the second story for an assembly hall, until such times as it might be re quired for study and recitation rooms. The enrollment ot tlw city schools, however, has reached a point where another teacher had to be engaged and space provided for the' pupils. The gymnasium building will not be used for school rooms, sifter the East ham addition Is completed. "LAURIE" DRIGGS FOR CONGRESS. Former Oregon City Boy a Political Figure in New York. Laurence L. Driggs. who was born In Oregon City, and is the son of the late L. C. Driggs and a nephew of Charles D. Latourette, is the Repub lican candidate for congress in the Eleventh New York district, which runs from Washington Square, where he lives, up to Sixtieth street along the Hudson river, and has about 50, 000 voters. The usual Democratic ma jority is about 9,000, but this year Hearst has a candidate, who may re- Company and consolidate with machinery for a saw mill that Is now situated at Alspaugh, Clackamas County, and owned by W. Q. Bonn, now of Portland, but formerly a suc cessful lumberman of Wisconsin. Mr. Bohn has taken stock in the proposed concern to the value of (20,000, and is willing to assume even more. The Oregon City Mill & Lumber Company has a plant that Is well equipped to turn out finished products, with a sash and door factory, dry kilns, etc., but it has been handi capped for the want of a sawmill, be ing compelled to purchase Its sawed timber tn the open markets, and there by entering; Into competition with planing mills and factories with fa cilities for handling the raw product. The plant was recently sold to the Northern California Lumber Company, or rather traded for stock In the Cali fornia concern, but the local men have obtained an option to purchase it, and if the new deal goes through, the entire plant will be kept In Oregon City. This will also mean that at least 75 men will receive steady employment, and the payroll, instead of disappear ing entirely, will be increased from (2.000 to about (6.000 monthly. Even the employes of the Oregon City Mill & Lumber Company have shown their faith in the new project by subscrib ing for stock to the amount of (2,000, and the present stockholders of the company have taken about (4,000. With a capital stock of (75,000 the new company will have (25,000 for working capital.
