The marriage of Miss Dorothy
Louise Mohr and Hersel Raymond
Saunders, of this city, was solemnized
at the home of the bridegroom's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Saunders, of
Tenth and John Adams streets, Satur
day evening, November 25. Rev. A.
J. Ware, of this city, officiated in the
presence of relatives and several in
timate friends.
The ceremony was performed at
8:30 o'clock. As the bridal party en
tered the living room Miss Myrtle
Tracy rendered Lohengrin's Wedding
March.
The bride was attractive in a dark
blue suit, with a corsage bouquet of
white carnations.
Miss Grace Reynolds,- becomingly
gowned in dark blue, with corsage
bouquet of pink carnations, was the
bride's maid.
Wilbur Hayes was best man.
Following the ceremony the bridal
party left for Portland, where a wed
ding dinner was served at the Mult
nomah hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders
remained in Portland for several-days,
making their headquarters at the
Multnomah.
Upon their return to Oregon City,
the young couple have taken up their
residence for the present time with
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Saunders, parents
of the bridegroom
The bride is a well known young
woman of Oregon City, where she has
resided for a number of years, and re
cently resigned her position aa sten
ographer in the office of Attorney
Dean Butler. She is the daughter of
Gus Mohr, of California, where she re
sided before coming to Oregon City.
The bridegroom, who is the only son
of Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, is among
the popular young employes of the
Hawley pulp & Paper Company. He
attended the Oregon City schools be-
they are selling around nine cents
each as high as $1.08 a dozen. They
are being sold by the carload. Anoth
er thing that amused me may shed
some light upon the cost of tobacco.
In Connecticut where a large part of
the wrapper tobacco is grown I was as
tonished . by the numerous hop fields.
I asked how it happened that the state
had taken to hop raising and I was
informed that they were tobacco fields,
but that they were wired on poles like
hop fields, and' acres and acres cover
ed with cloth to prevent the leaves
from being damaged - by the . hail
storms.
"I noticed a predisposition in the
east to buy in small quantities," he -continued.
"They buy by the peck
where we buy by the bushel. In Wash
ington coal is selling by the paper bag
fulL It draws 25 centsfor 18 pounds
or about $30 per ton. This is caused
somewhat by the shortage but it is
the same thing with potatoes, and
other commodities.
"Europe? No, there was hot much
talk of the financial condition in Eur
ope. The financeers belive that we
are as prosperous as we can be at
present, barring the condition of the
farmer. The european situation does
not enter into the general discussion.
"The railroad situation The rail
roads are Btill feeling the results of
the strike. Few eastern- trains are
again on time. The inactivity of the
shops is still being felt in poor rolling
stock. Coming west, at Bocatello we
were late and delayed for an hour
and a half waiting for a freight engine.
Our own engine was said unable to
take us on and we went with freight
engine as far .as Harrison before a
regular express locomotive was avail
able. '"".
"The car shortage is still somewhat
r-orious. The chairman of the public
utilities commission in Idaho told me
that the state was still 3000 cars be
hind for the moving of its fruit crop
and that thousands of dollars worth
of crops had been ruined through fail
ure to move.
"Througout the entire middle -west,
however, I found that there is a gen
eral misunderstanding of their condi
tion. It is believed that during the
past few years they failed to keep
up with the general line Of progress,
but the manager of the federal reserve
declares that their neglect of cur
rent Improvements has been due to -the
fact that they have liquidated
much of the public debt. The pres
ent progress has necessarily been
sacrificed to improve their financial
condition. This is especially true of
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska."
From The Pulpit
(Continued from page four.)
to the stranger within our gates of
the great mass of these citizens, as
such, ignoring the proclamation, its
intent and spirit, while they wrest
the day set apart from its sacred
moorings that they may embark on
selfish, carnal pursuits!
"Praise the Lord All Ye People."
Come into His courts with thanks
giving, and into His gates with
praise." .
Although four times married, a wo
man in Nebraska has changed her
name only twice. Her first two hus-,
bands bore the same surname, as did
also her third and fourth.
