Is stated that the objectionable fea

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.

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

g ARGUMENT FOUND RIGHT AT HOME. S
HUBBARD. Or, Oct 27. (To the Editor). 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

Board of Directors Relieve Congested
Condition 6f Schools.
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. The stock Is divided
into 750 shares, and the Crown-Columbia
Pulp & Paper Company, which
owns the site of the mill, has tacitly
agreed to extend the lease five years,
giving it 13 years to run.
Mr. Moffett, who has gone into the
whole matter very carefully, and who
duce the Democratic majority, and 3 known to be a practical man, says
this gives Driggs a chance. The Tam
many candidate is C. V. Fornes, and
Alex. T. Porter Is the Hearst nomi
nee. Mr. Driggs spent his boyhood In
Oregon City. His father was for
years connected with the Portland
postoffice and died about two years
ago. "Laurie," as he was popularly
known, was educated at the Portland
High School and later attended the
I'niversity of Michigan at Ann Ar
bor. He went to New York City, with
that the logging features present no
difficulties, as the tributaries of the
Upper Willamette will supply all the
logs necessary for years to come. The
paper mills at Oregon City pay 25
cents per 1,000 for the towage of logs
and procure enough during the high
water of May, June and July to last
for the rest of the year, and the new
lumber company could follow this
plan. There are immense bodies of
timber in Clackamas County that are
practically untouched and a logging

County School Superintendent Gary,

The directors of the two districts

whether the question of Interest on

wide difference of opinion between the
Parkplace directors and the members

Charles Black, a foreman on the
construction of the addition to the
Eastham school building, and Frank
Black, his son, fell 15 feet Tuesday

his father was more seriously injured,
though no bones are broken. They
were able to walk to the car and went
to their home at 411 Cambridge,
Woodlawn. The young man is back
