NEWS OF THE COUNTY
BAKER'S BRIDGE.
We are having a spell of genuine
Oregon weather that ought to start
the moss and webs to growing. This
Is the webfoot country xtt a surety.
This will continue now with a few
Intermissions perhaps till about the
5th of July. Farmers never feel safe
to cut their hay until after the 4th of
July.
Arthur Cliff has returned from work
In Oregon City and Is improving
his place . He lately bought 3 acres
lying between himself and the county
road and now has a fine little home.
With the bungalow forthcoming and a
cook to take charge of same Cliff
would be possessed of an ideal coun
try home.
Sheridan Lillie, who was recently
burned out, has the sympathy of
everybody. He is a great worker and
will soon regain his loss, though It
was certainly a great blow.
J. L. Mumpower, our real estate
shark is still at the old stand, but
whether he has sold andthing lately
I am not advised.
T. D. Crader has charge of the hogs
being fattened by W. P. Kirchem on
creamery buttermilk and shorts. Mr.
Crader will do his part of the work
faithfully and well but it remains to
be seen whether it will be profitable
or not. Paying 15 cents per hundred
for butter milk and present prices
prices for mill feed must bring the
value of the finisfied product down to
a close margin.
W. P. Kirchem, president and man
ager of the Clear Creek Creamery
Company deserves the good will of
each and every patron, for he has cer
tainly served the company faithfully
and well and is now paying more for
buttermilk than was ever paid before.
He looks after every little detail of
the business and has been the main
spoke in the wheel since its Inception.
He is the right man in the right place
and the patrons should keep him
there.
A. R. Smith is Improving his tract
and is getting ready to "plant" some
goats on the place. He thinks the
goats can grub easier than he can.
JIany of us are wondering what the
county court is going to do for us on
the River road. It is a numbfr of
years now since the people along the
road and the business men of Oregon
City subscribed $500 an the county
expended a like amount on this road.
Since that time no attention to
speak of has been given the road and
it plainly shows neglect. Much if not
most of the work done on it has been
an Injury instead of a benefit. This
is one of the leading roads in the coun
ty and it is to the interest of Oregon
City to see that it is not nf-glected.
Were this road leading to Portland
it would be different.
The water power plant seen.s to be'
taking a rest for the present. Nothing
could be done now till another season
rolls around, ou account of high water.
Miss Mathews is acting as principal
of our school. She hails from Rose
burg and this Is her third year here,
her work has given general satisfac
tion. Miss Jones, her assistant, is
from Estacada, and the patrons are
well pleased with her work so far
as heard from. We have a school of
ten grades and second to none so for
as we go.
Salmon are almost a thing of the
past, and when these new power
plants are put in what are we going
to do for a mesa of fish?
The writer can remember well
when the Clackamas was Jlterally
alive with fish and when salmon were
spawning on all the rapids at this sea
son of the year.
The legislature creates some kind
of a farce every legislative year to no
effect. Last election the people them
selves took a hand in the matter and
still Mr. Salmon disappears. He is
much like the Indian and can't stand
the Invasion of civiliiation. It Is
much the same with the game and the
native pheasant is rarely seen. Last
winter was so severe that the Mon
golian pheasant and quails were
almost exterminated. It Is a rare
thing to see a cjnail In this vicinity
although last fall there was quite a
number.
Rumor has it that Tom Watts may
soon bring out a cook. We hope It Is
true, for batching and farming don't
go together successfully. We know
for we've tried It.
This reminds me that Almon Mc
Murrayand Jennie Shepard were mar
ried not long since. Almon gave the
boys a dancing party in honor of the
event and all unite in saying that he
and his wife treated them right royal
ly. Each and all unite in wishing
them much happiness through their
married lives.

Bert Perry and family made a bus
iness trip to Candy Monday, returning
tho same day.
George Holoson has recovered suf
ficiently from his fall to resume work
In the timber again.
There was quite a run made on the
Molalla hank last week, but tho Insti
tution was equal to the omorgency.
We know winter Is hero from the
fact that hotel De Perry has laid In
a supply of fuel.
Guy Schafor was seen coming In
from an all-slay hunt with a smile on
his face that reminded us of a poor
man's lease extending from year to
year. Guy said he had bagged a
iarge bob cat. We first thought Guy
was Joking, but he produced the hide
which was ample proof.
O. T. Kay and K. R. Cooper have
their gasoline engine rigged out for
sawing wood. Mr. Kay expert to
saw enough wood to keep his wife
warm all winter, splitting It. .
Our school term was half out Fri
day. Miss Chind Gren bids fair to

successful teachers.

upon the local bank within six mounts
Two suspicious characters wore seen
prowling about town on tho afternoon
of the 4th. but no attention was paid
to the matter until after the bank rob
bery had occurred. Papers were scat

but nothing of value was obtained by
the criminals. The bank officials are
wide-awake citizens and It Is thought
the robbers will be apprehended.
