BIG BOOSTER DAY
SATURDAY, APRIL 9
STOCK OISPLAY 18 PROMISED
AND OTHER FEATURES ARE
BEING ARRANGED.
Hooster Day baa het-n postponed un
til Saturday, April 9. It was the
original Intention of the Commercial
Club to Invite the people of Clack
mniia County to come to Oregon City
on Saturday, Mnrch 12, but It la Im
possible to arrange the programme
by that date so a postponement was
agreed uKin at a meeting of the chair
men of the several committees. Thla
will give plenty of time to arrange a
programme for the entertainment of
the thousands of visitors who are ex
pected to come to Oregon City at that
time. Many prominent horsemen will
be able to come to Oregon City April
9 ami there will be a stork display
that will bo especially attractive.

SALOON MEN
MUST PAY IT
COUNCIL INCREASES THE LIQUOR
LICENCES OVER PROTESTS
OF RETAILERS.
ORDINANCE IN EFFECT
There Will Be No More Saloonj
Oregon City Until Town Haa
a Population of
9000.
In
There will he no niOTe saloons in
Oregon City until the town has n
population of foitiO nnd every saloon
will hereafter pay nn annual license
of $1000, This was the result of a
special meeting of the city council
Wednesday night. Even- member was
present nnd the vote on the final pas
sage of t)ie ordinance Increasing the
saloon llr'lise from $000 to $1000 was
as follows:
Yes Andresen. Strlcklnnd. Petzel.
Shenhnii. Mlrbels. Meyer, Ronke.
No Pope, Cooke.
Attorneys J. E. Hedges and C. T).
I-atourette were present In the Inter
est of the Retail Liquor Dealer's As
sociation nnd they argued that the
nctlon of the council In Increasing
the license would bo hasty nnd that
a committee should be appointed and
a hearing be given to the saloon men.
There were a few rhetorical fireworks
and the ordinance was passed with
only two dissenting votes. Mayor
Carll has attached his signature nnd
ns the ordinance carries the emergen
cy clause It goes into effect at once.
Tho council passed to Its second
rending nn ordinance providing thnt
the number of saloons shall not be
increased until a rntlo of one snloon
to every 500 Inhabitants ran be main
tained. With 17 p.aloons In Oregon
City, this simply means thnt there Is
now enough on the bnsls of this rate
for 8!i00 people, and thnt Oregon City
must hnve a population of 9000 before
nnother license can be granted. If
nny saloon man shall go out of busi
ness or his license revoked for any
cause, his place of business will dis
appear. It Is believed that four or Ave of
the 17 saloons will be compelled to
co out of business, rather than pay
the high license.

ing, the president, secretary and ex

START WORK ON ELEVENTH.
Chances Are Good For Settlement of
Apperton Case.
1'nder the direction of contractors
J. V. Mofft-tt and Charles Parker, the
Improvement of Eleventh street was
commenced Monday morning and the
majority of the property owners who
have been trying for several years
to have the street Improved are re
joicing. The cost of the Improvement
will he In the neighborhood of $21,000
and the work will be completed this
Summer. City Engineer Meldrum
made a resurvey of the street Sun
day with a view to determining wheth
er or not the grade fronting the prop
erty of Captain J. T. Apperson could
be changed tn the sa'tlsfartion of all
parties concerned. It has been stated
that if the grade Is altered that the
suit of Captain Apperson to restrain
th" city from improving the street in
front of his property will be with
drawn. It seems probable that an
amicable arrangement can be made
in which event the appeal of Captain
Apperson to the Supreme Court will
be dismissed.
TAG DAY PROVES A
SPLENDID SUCCESS
GENEROSITY OF OREGON CITY

managing the successful event wish
to convey to the visiting Elks their
thanks and to brand them one and all
as gentlemen of the calibre they al
ways considered the Elks were. Books
In large numbers, such as the Oregon
City Library Association should hnve,
nre- now assured, thanks to the gen
erous nnd kind hearted friends, both
buyers nnd sellers, this worthy cause
has already made not only at home,

EGGS ARE ON
THE DECLINE
WARM 8PRING WEATHER CAUSES
HENS TO BECOME MORE
INDUSTRIOUS.
HAY PRICES ARE FIRM
Heavy Shipments Received From Cal
ifornia Keep Pricea Down
Ranch Butter la Now
Quite Scarce.
A gradual strengthening in the hay
market, and a drop of two or more
cents In the price of eggs are about
the most notable features In thla
week's changes in the markets. Hay
has taken on a great deal of strength,
but heavy shipments from California
have prevented the prices from adopt
ing aeroplane tactics. The warm wea
ther of the past few days hag started
the hens to laying and the price baa
changed to 20 to 23 cents per dozen.
Should the weather continue warm,
the price will go still further down,
and the market will be flooded.
Although there Is a scarcity of coun
try butter, the price remains unchan
ged, but ia apt to soar at any time.
The supply of creamery butter meets
the demand. Creamery batter Is sel
ling this week at 85 cents per roll
and first class country butter at 63
cents.
Veal has become much firmer thla
week.
