NOT GIVE UP PRACTICE
IN THIS COUNTY.
Cross & Hammond, attorneys, are
moving their office to rooms 1-2 and
13 on the second floor of the Masonic
Building this week. H. E. Cross, the
senior member of the firm, has occu
pied the quarters which they are va

FINE TRADE
IN HOLIDAYS
CHRI8TMAS WEEK 8ALES BREAK
ALL RECORDS OF LOCAL
BUSINESS HOUSES.
GREAT INCREASE NOTED
Immense Growth of Trade Can Be
Traced Directly to Establish
ment of Commiieion House
at This Point.
The recent holiday trade was the
largest ever enjoyed by the business
men of Oregon City. For the two
weeks previous to Christmas day
every store displaying holiday goods,
was crowded to lta doors witn eager
shoppers from both the city and the
country. In one of the busiest stores
there were -400 more sales on the day
before Christmas than on the same
day last year, and other merchants
report a like Increase in their sales.
This growth In trade is largely. If
not altogether due lo the establish
ment of a commission house in Ore
gon City. The benefits from that
place of business can hardly be esti
mated. Hundreds of farmers come to
Oregon City where before the opening
of the commission house they only
came here to pay their taxes. The
commission house, under the able di
rection of T. F. Rourke, buy every
thing that is offered for sale, and pays
cash. The bulk of this money Is dis
tributed around to many of the local
business houses.
Oregon City has had a marvelous
growth in the last year. The organi
zation of a Commercial Club, which
has gone beyond the experimental
stage, has done wonders for the town,
promoting a better spirit among Its
people. The return from the expendi
ture of money for publicity purposes
has already been shown and next year
the bread that has been scattered up
on the waters will come back ten
fold. OFFICER COOKE ASSAULTED.
