AT A GOOD OLD AGE
SHE HAS LIVED WITH HER SON
AT GLADSTONE SINCE DEATH
OF HER HUSBAND.
Lydla Miner Tracy, wife of the late
Taylor B. Tracy, died at the home of
her son, J. M. Tracy, of Gladstone,
Wednesday at 12:15 a. m., after a
year's illness. The remains will be
taken to her old home at Logan, and
laid beside those of her husband, who
passed away at that place eleven years

WITH ITS TAX MONEY
LETTER RECEIVED FROM OFFICE
OF STATE TREASURER PROVES
" VERY COMPLIMENTARY. '
Clackamas county Is to the front
again even if there are carpers who al
ways see more things "over In the
next county" than are to be found at
home. Old Clakamas Is to the front
In its scenery, its productiveness,
its healthfulness, Its many privileges
for its citizens and In the development
that is coming along from year to
year.
And la'it but not least Clackamas
Is to the front in the matter of paying
Its obligf.tions, a tait that means much
for the uplift of the community and
the good of Its citizenship. As an
evidence of the financial promptness
for which we are noted we append a
letter from the office of the State
Treasurer, as follows:
Salem, March 21, 1911.
J. A. Tufts, Treasurer Clackamas
County. Oregon.
Dear Friend: Allow me to con
gratulate you and also Clackamas
county for being the first county treas
urer and the first county to pay its
quota of State Tax for this year. I
received your checks this morning,
and it made me feel good, to find that
old Clackamas was still in the lead In
promptness and attention to the pay
ment of its liabilities. It Is a small
thing, but I have managed aleady to
make everybody in the State Capitol
Building, understand that Clackamas
was In the lead, and Just such things
as that Is what makes a reputation for
either county or Individual. Therefore
I write this little squib to let you know
that a citizen of old Clackamas Is
right glad to know that we have got
the right man as treasurer. There
fore, shake, old fellow, shake.
Sincerely yours,
THOS. F. RYAN.

A SECOND AND DEEPER 8TRATA
OF OIL-BEARING 8AND POUND
WITH THE DRILL.
GET BOTH WATER AND OIL IN .SAND
Citing to B Forced Further Down to
Shut Off Water Again OH In.
dlcatlons Art Bett Yet
Found.
STONE. Or., March 22. (Spl.t
Prospects become better each day
that the drill goca down into the earth
at Stone. Early this morning the
drill struck a strata of ollbearing
sand that contained much oil, but that
a little later opened up a small vein
of water thus destroying the good ef
fects of the sand and putting an end
to the oil prospects. This vein of
water did not come from the water
opened up above but seemed to be a
seeping In from the snnd atrata that
was passed through at the early morn
ing hour.
Water Is the bane of the oil or gas
well drillers and where the water can
not be controlled It destroys the ef
forts to get oil and seems to drive out
the gas when that commodity Is found,
even In quantities. It Is for this pur
pose that the casing Is driven Into the
well, the effort being to shut out the
water and keep it from Mowing Into
the well and destroying the oil and
gas conditions.
This casing has not been crowded
down so closely the past two days as
It was prior to that time for the rea
son that the formation through which
the drill was passing seemed to be
firmer and of a character that would
stand up for a day or two without the
support given by the casing. But
shortly after the drill struck the oil
bearing sand vein this morning there
was a cave-In of sand and dirt, filling
the full distance of the well not pro
tected by the casing and making it
necessary to clean out the well before
further drilling can be done.
The strata of sand struck this morn
ing was of a greater depth than anv
before found In the well, and the oil
prospects were more marked and the
percentage of oil greater, so that there
was rejoicing over the prospects when
the water was forced In and did Its
work of loosening and caused the
cave-in that made the delay In drilling.
The drill has reached a depth of
1100 feet; the water was shut off at a
depth of 1033 but broke loose again
shortly after the 1100 depth was
Th enrth paved in for a
I c-awc. - v:
distance of 30 feet, and now the casing
must be driven down the fun aeptn or
the drilling and then the well be
cleaned out
A new wire cable was attached to
it.o riHii tnHav and the manilla rope
discarded so that the drilling can be
continued to a depth of from 2200 to
2500 feet.
In the face of all the difficulties
that have visited the well and the
drillers who are working In It the
drill still continues to go down from
day to day. When everything goes
along without Incident the drill goes
down 50 to CO feet a day But wnen an- j
noyances come there is only about j
haif the progress made. Every day
shows progress; tne arm is now aown
over 1100 feet.
DIVORCED ON THE SLY.
Charge Made That Wife Was Not a j
Good Woman. j
Chas.'D. Taylor obtained a decree of :
divorce from Minnie N. Taylor In the :
Circuit Court in this county on Sep
tember 19, 1910. Mrs. Taylor has
been suing Taylor for $2500 a month
maintenance, and until this news
reaches her she will not know of the
decree. Taylor is a rich man and
married Minnie In Portland, having
met her In San Francisco. In his pe
tition for divorce he charged her with
many evilsKbut secured his divorce on
the sly. Later she avers he deserted
her on a trip to Europe, with 40 cents
in her purse. He says he sought di
vorce as soon as he knew her true
nature.

A GREAT PHYSICIAN.
What He Said of Germs That Cause
Disease.
M. Pasteur, sometimes called the
Greatest Physician, often said: "I be
lieve that we shall one day rid the
world of all diseases that are caused
by germs.-'
Of all the diseases caused by germs
catarrh Is one of the most persistent
and loathsome. Catarrh can be sured,
but only by destroying the germs.
Breathe HYOMEI (pronounce it
High-o-me) and cure catarrh by kill
ing the germs. The HYOMEI method
Is the only sensible method, because
you breathe the highly antiseptic and
germ killing air directly over the en
tire membrane infested with catarrh
germs.
HYOMEI will cure catarrn. mere
may be some complicated cases where
It will fall, but the chances are ten
to one In its favor, and the sufferer
from catarrh takes no risk, because
HYOMEI is a guaranteed remedy, and
if it doesn't cure Huntley Bros. Co.
will refund the purchase price. .
HYOMEI will also give Instant re
lief and cure In bronchitis, coughs,
colds and croup. A complete outfit.
Including hard rubber pocket Inhaler,
costs only $1.00. If you now own a
Hyomel Inhaler you can get a bottle
of HYOMEI for 50 cents. 24-7

thousands of cords of wood will find

such as lumber, piling and other kinds
of freight from that rich country."
The above statement from those In
terested shows for Itself on Its face.
The commltteo Interested In the work
has accomplished much In securing
subscriptions for the building of thg
road, and the campaign being well uu
dor way an effort Is now to be made
to raise money along the line, stock
worth dollar for dollar being returned
to those who subscribe. To that end
a meeting will be held at neaver
Creek on Friday evening and the enter
prise explained to the people living
along the line of the projected road.
There Is no doubt of the feasibility
of the project, and little doubt as to
the profitable nature of the enterprise.
To those living along the line the
road will offer many Inducements In
that the building and operation of
such a line will mean the addition In
value to the lands In that part of the
county.
Work Is to commence on Mondny or
Tuesday, (his much Is assured by the
committee. It Is not a question of
some far-off date It Is Monday or
Tuesday, and the work Is to continue
until the grading has boon completed.
This work Is to bo done under the
direction of local men, and men who
are personally and financially Inter
ested. What news could be hotter at
this time?
Every citizen and business man In
Oregon City should subscribe liberally
to this proposition. The success of
the road will mean everything to the
city and much to tho county. Other
clttos are planning to build lines Into
tho rich section to bo tapped by this
line, knowing full well that to build
In there with this city having no line
will moan that much of the business
of that section can be diverted to thoJ

The telephone enables her to make as many

Formal gatherings have their place, but it is
the many little intimate visits over the telephone
that keeps people young and interested.

Get Clard Lands on Tax DupHcat.
Now since the county court has bo -gun
a now way of rond construction,
It would be only another Just and
economic step to hire a surveyor to
find out how much cleared and how
much unclesred land there Is In Clack
amas County, tf this Is done taxes In
a few years will become much re
duced and Clacl amas County will be
out of debt.
There Is no disputing the fact thai
very ninny fanners of this county do
not glvo In more than throoflfths to
three-fourths of their cleared land, If
this community can be takon as 4
safe guldo. For Instance wo have a
nelKhlor Joining us on the south lde
who owns 10 times as murh Innd as
we do, nnd has four times as much
cleared land as we havo land alto
gether, and six times as much cleared
land as we, and yet his taxes were
only flvo limes our tnxes laat year.
For years his tttxes have been less by
nearly one-half than other smaller
farmers hero In proportion and there
are others. When you talk of honesty
In. public life what can you expect
when there Is so much dishonesty In
private life?
