UP BUSINESS OF LOCAL
CORPORATION.
The nfralrs of the Oregon City
Commission Co. were placed in the
hunt! of a receiver Saturday, after a
meeting of the board of directors of
the corporation. The concern Is un
derstood to have lost considerable
money since it was started by a body
of. local people about two years ago.
and after making an investigation of
the bonks and accounts, the directors
devilled to close up lis business af
fairs, disposing of the merchandise
on hand. D. C. Robbing, w ho has been
connected with Hie company for a
short time, was appointed, receiver.
The Oregon Ci'y Commission Co

in Cliicknmiis Cnunly and are success
ful. T. F. Rourke, who was formerly
