The va cant ottices, houses or apartments, pemiitig upon window placards which have accumulated dust; and the shop First Time that Validity It Sustained in Clackamas County Court. For the first time In Clackamas County the validity of a tax deed ha. been upheld. The case was that of IjonweMS. Reynolds against the East ern Investment Company, In a suit to quiet the title to a piece of land purchased at a lax sale by II. K Noble, and by tilm sold to the defend ant company. This sale was for the taxes of 1902, The property Is a 160 acre farm at Scotts Mills and Is va! jjable. Reynolds declined to pay tho taxes for a number of years, begin nlng with 1102. and about a year aso ho brought suit. The Eastern In vestment Company, which was repre sented by State Senator Hedges, put up a defense that the laud had been purchased at a tax sale. The ease was tried nearly a year ago and Judge Mcllride has withheld his decision until this time. The fact that this Is the only tax ! title that has ever been sustained In this county makes the case one of particular interest. The law makes a deed given by the sheriff prima fa cie evidence of all of the necessary acts of officers and conclusive of some. At the trial the deed was introduced in evidence by the company and the defense then rested. Reynolds failed, to introduce the record or to rebut the case of the defendant company ,, rn - "":;; ami the court holds that the deed Is windows in which , ror aln goods 1 a e , of n n MmM. At- been on display until they have eaten up their values In cost of storage room; the vacant lots on which "For Sale" signs have stood until they Lave become weather-beaten. All over the city you will see so-ne evidence of the fact that not nil of the people have learned that there is such a thing as newspaper advertis ing. And, of course, you will see very much more evidence that a great many people have learned how to really do things through newspaper ad vertising. Try to Imagine, If you can, what sort of a looking city we would have If it had twice as many "unad vertlsed things" in evidence every one of them an exhibit of the per torney H. 1.

K.. was visited at Its meeting last Friday evening by Prof. Wm. Crowhurst, Colonel on the Ueneral Staff of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. An interesting address was listened to attentively by the Rebekahs, who were specially desirous of understand sonal unprogresslveness of tho pei-i, ()f ,hp 1Vforatlon of chivalry j to the higher branches of Odd Fellow- ship. At the close of the address, ami 'after many replies to Important ques tions, Mrs. V. H. Howell wns. by ; ballot, unanimously recommended for son responsible. THE FARM AND FARMERS. In diversified farming It is essential that we give due attention to the claims of each branch that is being followed and seek to harmonize them all. We must select only those the high honor, she being the first lady ever recommended from Oregon City.

It is little wonder that Amer-j the M?hest honor confe,reJ ln the icau iariuera are uiien c&iieu sou i skinners. i They make more money as a rule than the farmer who puts bis money into improvements, for they have more cash to speculate with. But which men are the most useful to their com munity the one who puts bis whole time and energy into gleaning every possible dollar from the soli and put ting it in the savings bank, or the man who improves his property, adds to the assessment list of his township and helps to increase the valuation of adjoining farms?

Interest and Commission Charges That Must be Paid to Keep Brokers' Offices Open, For all of the exchanges ln the United States the amount of money tied up In speculation will not aver age less than $800,000,000. A five per cent interest charge against this amount costs the patrons of the brok ers the tidy annual sum of $40,000. 000.

VtrtH .TVnrf7.' t7i that the annual expense of maintain promptly started a tremendous real;. ,. h,.ay iin estate boom in that vicinity and al ready two companies are negotiating for property with a view to erecting summer hotels. It is somewhat sur prising, in view of the fact that Mr. Taft's lease may be terminated at the end of the year, ttiat capitalists should be willing to make such per manent investments on the strength of it. The effulgence of Beverly seems to have left Oyster Bay in to tal eclipse. Nelson W. Aldrich, senior Senator "from Rhode Island, has announced ling the brokerage and commission houses is $70.010,000 for New York City and $100,000,000 for the United States; therefore we find that the banks Increase the load which our speculative friends must shoulder to the picturesque total of $140,000,000 and we have not yet paid our brokers a penny of profits. If the operating expense of the speculative game In New York City alone be placed at $70,000,000, it will be conservative to increase the amount to $100,000,000 for the entire United States.

Brasch appeared be fore Justice of the Peace Samson and entered a plea of guilty, paying a minimum fine of $10. His arrest is the outcome of a difference between himself and Bill Young, who rents Hrasch's place on the Clackamas Uiver. Brasch has apparently been unable to collect his rent from Young and filed a Buit In the Circuit Court some time ago. Enlarged Oregon City Bank.
