Since the last issue of the Weekly

night of Friday,. October 11th.
Mr. Roth, it was thought by his
friends, had about recovered from an
injury, which has been mentioned in
the Enterprise, when he was sudden
ly attacked by pneumonia. The di
sease baffled all treatment and term
inated fatally in a few days. The
, death of Mr. Roth following that of
his wife, which occurred only three
months ago, breaks tip one of our old
est and most esteemed households,
and is much felt in this, as well as in
other places where he has been
known.
Mr. and Mrs. Roth leave a large
family to mourn their loss. Their ten
children: Mrs. Knofziger, Mrs. Kauff
mann, Mrs. Schultz, Mrs. Loder, Mrs.

was an address at the Zioa church.
The burial was at the Zion cemetry.
Lena Kummer was stricken with ty
phoid fever about three weeks ago,
and, despite the most unremitting care
and the best medical aid available,
grew steadily worse till the night of
Friday, the 11th, when death came to
her release.
She had been perfectly conscious re
cognizing and speaking with friends
till a few hours before the end came.
Lena was a girl of musical promise
and was just eighteen years old. Her
death is deeply felt, not only by her
own people' but by all who knew her.
She had endeared herself, especially to
all, who had been associated with her
ini school, being an apt and faithful
scholar, as well as a bright and lov
able classmate. Her former teachers
are greatly grieved at her early death.
Her funera was largely attended and
there were many beautiful floral offer
ings. '
John Kummer, who was taken ill at
the same time with his sister, is bet
ter now.
Mrs. Chas. Kraxberger, who has
been ill for several days is recovering.

THE great battleship New York, sister ship to the Texas, which was be
gun Sept 11 last year, will be launched in the last part of October at
the Brooklyn navy yard. She will be one of the biggest and best
fighting ships in the world, costing $6,500,000 without armament or
furnishings. It will take 2.400. men nearly two years more to complete . her
The New York will have a length of 573 feet, a breadth of ninety-nve feet
two inches, a total displacement of 27,000 tons and engines of 28,000 horse
power. Her major armament will consist of ten fourteen-inch guns She
will be one of the first vessels of the navy to be armed with fourteen inch
rifles. With a displacement of 5,000 tons more than that of the Florida, the
New York when launched will be the biggest and most powerful fighting ship
ever constructed for the United States navy. She and her sister ship, the
Texas, will be larger in every way than the Florida, which, it is expected, will
soon be ready to go into commission at the Brooklyn yard. The New York
is to be built entirely by "the construction corps of the navy at the New York

DRUG STORES WILL
CLOSE AT 8 O'CLOCK
The druggists have agreed upon a
proposition which is satisfactory to
everybody in this good town except
the person suffering from an. angry
molar, the babe who needs paregor
ic, and needs it at once, and the bib-,
liophile a la RooBevelt who along
about "11 o'clock, when, everything
else is in a state of innocuous desue
tude, desires to become bibliophilistic
and wants some kind of a magazine
badly. The proposition agreed upon
is that the drug stores be closed even
ings until further notice at 8 o'clock,
except on paynights at the
mills and Saturdays. They
.have been closing at 9 o'clock.
The clerks go to work at 1 o'clock in
the mornings and the proprietors de
cided that it was fair to them that
the stores be closed one hour earlier
Albeit, the bibliophile, who purchases
his reading matter at the drugstores,
and is somewhat Of a Bohemian, feels
somewhat outraged. However, there
are men paid to sleep in most of the
stores at night, and if you should
need medicine and need it badly, all
you have to do is to wake them up,
and ask for what you want.

voters were present and all were
against forming a new county. It was
the same at Eagle Creek. I am firmly
convinced if sentiment throughout
the state is the same as it is in Clack

the suicide of a girl this week after

Milliken. said Saturday:
"Some young men think it is smart
to contribute to the delinquincy of
children. At one time the child, for
she was but fourteen years old, was
a member of the church, Jiavlng pro
fessed conversion. Her name was still
on the roll at her death Someone led
her away from the right path, and
the Master of men, who himself will
be the judge, says:
"Whosoever shall cause one of
these little ones to stumble, it is prof
itable that a great millstone should be
hanged' about his neck, and that he
shoud be sunk in the depth of the" sea.
Woe to that man through whom the
offence cometh!" The man who
tempts a child into any form of sin
deserves only the1 most scathing de
nunciation from " all who value -true
manhood, and is unworthy to be
ranked as a man.

ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes;
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or
small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light.
Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in any place
thus affording any desired distribution of light.
No othef lamps possess these qualifications, there
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are rapidly
replacing all others in modern establishments.

PROFIT IN CABBAGE AND KRAUT
There is no country where cabbage
and cauliflower do so well as in this
section. The climate is just right,
and a first class article can be pro
duced without irrigation and the mar
kets are good, compared, with what
some of the large factories in the
Middle West are paying for kraut
cabbage per ton. Notice quotations
in an Eastern paper where some of
the largest factories paid 4 per ton
for cabbage, while here it is from $8
to $12 per ton. While the market is
seldom less than $20 per ton, and as
high as $40. An acre will grow 8 to
12 tons, but when cabbage is low in
price say not over $8 per ton, a reat
deal of this product is made into sauer
kraute by farmers and individuals
who like- the home made article bet
ter than a factory production. For
the benefit of these you will find the
following way to make kraut that will
be good and keep good as long as it
lasts. One should use new barrels
every year or else get it so very clean
and stsrilibed that it will 'be as clean
as a new one. Cut the cabbage very
fine preferably the long way. Add to
every 25 pounds of cabbage a cup full
of dairy salt, mix well and place in
barrel. Press down with your hands
until the liquid appears, do not" use
a stamper for it crushes the cabbage
too much.
To make kraut in large quantities
the same rule should "be used, the
barrel'must not leak, remove the head
when barrel is full, place the head
back in the barrel, then take a small
gimlet and make a hole in the head,
this will let the gasses and fermenta
tion out, and keep out all the impur
ities. When the kraut is through fer
mentation and the liquid has gone
down, the barrel should be filled with
water to which has been added a lit
tle salt. In this way kraut can be
kept a long time.

LAND SHOW.
The Pacific Northwest Land Product
Show to be held November 18th to
23rd and promises to be one of the
biggest-shows held In the State since
the Lewis & Clark Fair. Already
Clackamas County is getting busy col
lecting exhibits for this show. The
best of everything at the Canby Fair
is on exhibition at the Publicity Office
and any one not having had time to
visit the fair can see now those good
samples of what can be grown here.
Everyone is invited to inspect the big
fruit and vegetables.
Those contributing to this collec
tion are Jhe Barlow Improvement
Club, Harding Grange of Logan, War
ner Grange, and many good farmers
who are interested in exploiting and
showing what can be done in Clack
amas County. People somehow take
pride in growing big vegetables, and
like to show them. They have a
leBcsf Is
broader vision than to grow these afl'd
feed them to the cows and hogs, and
it is worth while to let others see
what can be done, for there are so
many farmers that are satisfied with
most any crop, when they should en
deavor to make the soil yield more.
We are especially desirous that
Clackamas County shall make a good
showing at the Land Product Show,
for we will be in competition with
some shining lights in the production
j of fruits, grains and vegetables. We
i have these things" in abundance and
jof the best produced in the land, and
jwe want to ask the help ef the larm
iers of Clackamas. Bring us your fine
j apples, your big pumpkins, your hand
j some potatoes, your big ears of corn,
: your onions, your honey, your fine spec
imens of butter, eggs and cheese, and
help to show the world what Clacka
mas County can do.
