The people of Oregon City. Oregon, are to be commended In that they have purchased and will keep as a memorial the old house at (hnt pluce In which Doctor John McUmghlln lived for ninny years after ho resigned his position as chief factor of tho Hud son's liny Company at old Kort Van couver on the Columbia. Doctor Mclaughlin hns been rightly called "The Father of Oregon." it may be that with almost nnv other Kngllshinnn in chnrgo of the Hud son's liny Company uffnlrH In the Pa clflc Northwest the line bet keen the I'nlted States and tho British pos sessions would probably bo further south than It Is. Wo believe that Dr. Mnrcim Whit man had much to do with the saving of "the Oregon Country" to tho Amer ican republic. When tho wheels of his old wagon wont rumbling down tho western slope of tho Hooky moun tains and the first evidence had been given thus that women ami children could get over what the great llrltlsh fur-trading company reported as im passible harriers the way was opened up to civilization for homes which later did mure than anything else In locating tho boundary line whore it was located.

At one time when an unusually largo number wns cnmliiir ,i,,v. k..

CAPACITY OF BUSCH STORE IS INCREASED ADDITION ttxioe FEET WITH THREE FLOORS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED. The capacity of the store build ing of Frank Bunch will be nearly doubled within a few months. The ptesuut structure on Main and Elev enth streets Is 81x106 feet and Is three stories In helghtn, and an ad dition of the same helghth. with dl mentions of 65x106 feet will be con structed on the Weal end of the pres ent building.

If Mr. Bunch has (he space to spare he will convert the third story Into a hall, making a alngle room.t!xl06 feeL and lining the additional -una f 65x106 feet for reception and ante rooms, louuies, etc. Grand Jury la Discharged. - Circuit Jlldire Cnmnhell dl the grand jury Friday after a very buny term.

Influence and power, and a little later took up life as an American resident nt Oregon City, whore In early days he filed on a tract of land. Although In due time ho declared his intention of becoming an American citizen and nctnnlly became such as soon as pos sible, to the everlasting shame of cer tain designing men It was not until five years nfter his death that title wns secured by his descendants to his land. He who hnd done so much for Oregon ploueers. a person of sln gulnr uprightness and beauty of char acter, wns persecuted nnd defrauded, and went down to his grave a broken hearted man. But in the yenrs since then this grand old man has been gradually coming to his own. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, In her historical novel, "Mc Loughlln nnd Old Oregon," hns done much toward bringing the old hero to public nottv-e and esteem. Mrs. Dye snys thnt after ho hnd taken res idence nt Oregon City. "Always the front door of Mclaughlin's house stood' open. 'Wo must never leave the house nlone, mother,' he would say. Some immigrant might come that needed our help." Kor several years a flue three-quarter life-size portrait of the old doctor has had the place of honor In the Senate chamber of the State Capitol at Sulem Immediately back of the chair of tho president of the Senate. It was presented to the state in 1889 by the Oregon Pioneer Association. In ncceptlng it on behalf of the state the (inventor said of McLoughlin: "While ho was loyal to Ms country, he wns, ns became his lofty character, more loyal to his conscience; and while never forgetting hla full allegi ance as a Briton, ho never forgot his higher duty as a man." And further: "Then, let this picture of tho grand old man, whose numerous deeds of charity are Inseparably Interwoven ln the early history of our State, ever enjoy the pluce of honor It now holds; nnd when our children and our child ren's children shall visit these ven erated halls, let them pause before the portrait of this venerable man and do homage to his memory, who, with his patriotic devotion to his counlry ami his devout service to his God, crowned the full completeness of his high char acter with an unmeasured love for his fellow-men." Prom time to time a monument to "Tho Father of Oregon." located at some appropriate spot, hns been sug gested, but nothing definite toward thnt end hns ever boon done. Wash ington as well as Oregon ought to net soon, and together to erect nt Van couver on the banks of the Columbia a stutoly shuft to remind ever the passing multitudes of what this old BAKER SHOWS AN INCREASE VALUATION OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY PROPERTY COMPAR ED WITH TEN YEARS AGO. THREE TIMES THE TAX Grosa Value of Property Totala $22, 000.000 and In 1698. It Was Less Than $5,000,000 More Tillable Soil. Iputy Sheriff K. W. Gaker has made a tabulated statement showing the comparative values In Clackamas County, and the Increase during the last 10 years. Up to last Saturday 9382 tax receipts had been Issued, again (,gj6 ln lg9g a ncreage of 3646. The total tax for 1908 was $434,000. and 10 vein aim It wa $136,000. The following comuarlsom nnve oven maae and demonstrate that the values h ftVf not nnlv I n nrta act A materially, but during the tax collec- ihiii uenoa mere is a great deal of worn in comparison to that of ten years ago: 1896 1908 No. acres tillable land 71081 on ina Value tillable land$l,098.555 $520,115 tu. acres nou tillable land... 393,918 634,027 vaiue non-tillable land $1,423,350 $8,485,600 vaiue oi improve ments on deed ed land ; 411.360 1.897.535 Value of Iota 533,890 2,600,773 Improvements on town lots Miles of railroad.

The netition of the Southern Polfir. Company to have its taxes in this county cut in half wiu denied Friday. The court ruled that the Pomnnnw tmi been assessed and taxed as fair as Is possible to do so. Hudson's Bay Company chief did for the whole Pacific Northwest. It has been well said by Mr. Frederick V. Holman, one of the directors of the Oregon Pioneer Association: "What ever John McLoughlin did to or for the Oregon settlers, missionaries and Immigrants, he did to every citizen of Oregon, man, woman and child, for all time, then now and to come. In honoring him we honor ourselves. To fall to honor him and his memory, we would dishonor ourselves." The Oregon legislature won wide appropriation when a few years ago It restored the name of Mt. McLoughlin to thnt lofty snow-clad peak in the sou thern part of the state which for sever al years had been called Mt. Pitt. He fore 1838 it was named by early resi dents for McLoughlin. In the Temple of Fame at Washing ton, Oregon ought to place the name of McLoughlin. Mr. Holman has rightly said: "Of all the men whose lives and deeds are essential parts of the history of Oregon, Dr. John M2 Loughlln stands supremely first: there is no second. In contemplating him all others sing Into comparative insig nificance. You may search V.? whole world, nnd all Its histories from the beginning of civilization to toduy, and you will find no nobler, no grander mnn that Dr. John McLoughlin. His life and character Illustrate the kin ship of man to God. He was Clcd-like In his great fatherhood. In his great lirength. In his great power; ho was Christ-like In his gentleness, in his tenderness, in his loving kindness, nnd In his humanity." "We would have died, had it not boon for Dr. McLoughlin," has in the yenra since then been the testimony of Oregon pioneers: "For the first throe or four years after I came If he hnd not helped us we could not hnve lived in Oregon." said one in 1906. nnd another: "History says.Dr. Whitman was the man who saved Oiegon to the United Stal-in, but that Is not true. It wns Dr. John McLough lin of the Hudson's Hay Compnnv. So says every man that Is a man who came to Oregon up to 1849. He furnished the entire immigration with food and clothing for the first year after we came. The people did not have money to live on, and so he fed and clothed us all; and some never paid him." Once when the good old doctor who had aided a needy man was asked what his bill was, the replv was: "Tut, tut, tut! bill, bill, bill! Take care of yourself, sir, that's the bill." When the man urged that the doctor couldn't afford to care so long for him and his family, the words were: "Tut, tut, tut: you do the best you can for some other man who Is In trouble, and thnt will repay me." HAWLEY IS COMING TO SEE OUR TOWN COMMERCIAL CLUB MAY AR RANGE LUNCHEON IN HONOR OF CONGRESSMAN. Willis Chatman Hawley, congress man from the first district of Oregon, will be In Oregon City on Saturday, November 20. Mr. Hawley will spend the afternoon here, but he will be un able to remain here for the evening, and as a consequence It will be Im possible to arrange any reception In his honor. It Is probable, however, that the Board of Oovernora of the Commercial Club will arrange for a luncheon at the noon hour on Satur day, and In this manner give the mem bers of the club and the business men an opportunity to meet Congress man Hawley. For this luncheon only a nominal charge will be made. Pres ident Thomas P.
