PLATTING DIMICK FARM.
Hubbard Investment Co. to Place
Small Tracts On Market.
With the present clear weather the
farmers of Clackamas County are
sparing no time In getting In their
crops, which have been somewhat de
layed In being sown before on account
of the long winter. Although the
ground In many sections is almost too
wet to plow, with a few days of good
weather the ground will be about
right to work, -
Within the past week there has
been an advance In the livestock mar
ket. The price of hogs has gone to
$11.50 a hundred, an advance of a
quarter over last week's highest price.
Creamery butter moves off regular
ly, and the market Is quoted at 73
cents, while ranch butter Is bringing
a price of 05 cenls.
Receipts of dressed poultry were
exceedingly light this week, but the
market was generally dull and fea
tureless, with practically the same
conditions existing as for three weeks
past. Old bens are quoted at 18
and 19 cents; roosters, 12 cents; and
spring 18 cenLs.
The egg market is gradually seek,
ing a lower level. The hens are lay
ing more freely, and it Is expected
that as receipts grow larger the mar
ket will go off still more. The demand
Is good. The wholesale price Is now
-ft 1-pnln nr HoTPn and th retail
j price 23 cents. ' It Is probable fhat
before the close of the weeK, when
there will be an Easter demand for
eggs, the prices will still be lower.
The movement of apples continues
quiet. Prices for good packed apples
range from $1.50 to $2.50 per box. but
as there are sa few of these being
brought in the demand is short.
This week there are shipped into
the local markets California aspara
gus and radishes, which are meeting
with good demand. ettnce, (gTeen
house), oyster plant, itiliflower, cab
bage, turnips are a. i.mg the vegeta
bles that are now finding a good de
mand In the markets.
California oranges are arriving In
thisv city for the local merchants in
large lots, and are ranging from 20
to 30 cents per dozen.
The price of hay has taken a raise
this week, going from $15 to $16 for
best clover; cheat, from $15 to $18:
timothy from $17to $18; grain hay,
from $16 to $18. Alfalfa has gone
down from $22 to $20.
The past week or two of sunshine
has been a great benefit to the fruit
trees and berry bushes throughout the
county. Many of the tress are budd-
ing. and the farmers are confident of
large crops this coming summer.

HIGH LICENSE ON DOGS.
Canines Meet Same Fate As Retail

(Continued on pnge 4,)

April !) ts to be "Booster Day." As
11 newronier to Oregon City, may I
offer a few suggestions? As I under
stand this phrase In menn, it is sym-
bollcol of anything and everything
that tends to advance tho material int
erests of Oregon City. Jf everyone
does their part, humble though it
limy be, tho occasion will spell suc
cess. It Is not Improbable that there will
bn many newcomers hore nt thnt time.
Individuals from other places will be
present to sen what opportunities Ore
gon City can offer thnt excnll those
of other localities. It would seem
proper, then, that everyone see to it
thnt their premises nnd their plnces i
of business shall he, neat, clean nnd
orderly nt thnt time. Dispose of old
gnrbago heaps, clenn tho sireels, pur
ify the bnck yards, mow the lawns.
Then, again, everyone should stand
ready to extend tho welcoming hnnd,
not nerfuiictorily, hut genlnlly, henrt
lly, an though thny were renlly glad to
see the stranger. Such nn net goes
grent wny to help tho stranger to
overcome that feeling of loneliness, of
homesickness, nnd strnngeness so de
pressing to the Immigrant. Tell these
people that yon are glad to see them.
nnd say It as though you mean It.
These first Impressions go a long wny
with the newconler.
It Is not sufficient fur the residents
of Oregon City to tacitly acknowledge
that they have the greatest and finest
waterpower In Oregon. It Is not
enough to know that the three great
est paper mills on the Pacific Coast
ni'e here, or that hen Is the greatest
woolen mill on thn Coast. It wli not
do to rest satisfied tlmt Oregon City
has grenter advantages for mnnufne
turn, for social advancement, for edu
cational or religious opportunities
than nuy other town in t'ie Willamette
Valley. Nor will It sulllce to know
that, this henutlful Kmernld City Is
surrounded by a rich and fertile reg
ion, fresh from tho hand of God. where
one needs but to tickle tho soil with
the harrow, to mnke It smile in boun
teous crooB. You know nil these
things are true. Justify the faith that
Is In you, and proclaim the glad tid
ings throughout all the earth to the
inhabitants thereof.
Rmerson somewhere says In effect
thnt If yon can do something a little
better than nnyone else, or give some
thing better than your neighbor, the
world will beat a pathway to your
door.- Don't keep all these things to
yourselves. Tell the world tfiat Ore
gon" City and Clackamas County offer
the greatest advantages. Sneak of It;
write It to your friends In less favor
ed localities. Believing It yourselves
It should not 'be difficult to convince
others. A Hood of inquiries reached
the Publicity Department of the Ore
gnu City Commercial Club every day.
Dlssaristaction and restlessness are
rife nil over the East, Middle West
nnd South. All eyes are turned on
Oregon.
The Commercial Club is doing a
grent work, but the Publicity Depart
ment welcomes the humblest aid. Did
not the writer feel a genuine interest
In aiding, to the best of his humble
ability the upbuilding of this commun
ity, he would never have come here.
Did he not sincerely desire to see all
efforts to this end crowned with suc
cess, this would never have been writ
ten.
Now then. let 'us all give "a long
pull, a strong pull and a pull to-1
getlier," and "Booster Day" will be
recorded lir the archives of local hist
ory as the Red Letter Dav of Oregon
City the dute of the Great Awaken
ing;
The writer greatly appreciates the
wnoie-nearted support the good people
here have given him. If everyone co
operates, ere long the public will a
waken to the fact that Oregon City Is
on the map and that it will remain
there.
Here's success for "Booster Day."
