In order to care for the dairy pro
duce in the nearby district, a co-operative
crfiamery is to be constructed
at Aurora; one half the necessary cap
ital to be subscribed by ranchers,
'farmers and citizens of the' district,
and the balance to be supplied by an
Eastern creamery expert and by mort
gaging the plant. Plans for the for
mation of the creamery association
are now under way, and hearty sup
port is being given the plan by peo
ple in the neighborhood.
The cash required for erecting suit5
able buildings and for purchasing ma
chinery will be subscribed at once,
the Aurora bank already having on
hand a considerable amount of money
for this purpose. Once the building is
completed, a mortgage will be Placed
upon it to start the work going, and
it is expected that profits will soon
life thi3 debt. The creamery will be
in charge of one of the most success
ful managers, who will shortly arrive
from the East, and who will invest a
considerable sum in the enterprise.
The Aurora country is at present
producing a plentiful supply of milk,
but ranchers have been having slight
difficulty in marketing all the yield.
The creamery, it is believed, will not
only be able to care for all the dairy
produce, but will also greatly stimu
late dairying in the section. Land
abount Aurora is particularly suited
to grazing, and with the coming of
the co-operative dairy many residents
of the district are planning to greatly
increase their stock of cows. It is
thought that many Aurorans will take
advantage of the annual Live Stock
Showe in Oregon City, April 25 and
2G, to purchase blooded animals for
their herds.

... . . -... 3
Ralston B. Ames, of Newburyport,
Massachusetts, was happily disap
pointed in Oregon City when he drop
ped off the train Thursday morning
and found an modern and enterprising
community where he had expected to
discover a relic of pioneer days, re
plete with stage coaches, wooden,
shacks, uncouth personages and In
dians. Not that Mr. Ames is a "Pull
man car window tourist," in any
sense of the word, for such is not the
case. Instead he is a man of much
education and considerable experi
ence, but "the movies" led him as
tray in regard to Oregon City.
Mr. Ames is interested in many
things, including fisheries and textile
mills. He is en route on a "swing
around the circle" from Boston back
to Boston, by way of New Orleans,
the Southwest, San Francisco, Port
land, the Northwest and Canada, and
is traveling liesurely, and seeing the
country as he goes. One night re
cently in San Francisco, he stepped
into a moving picture theatre to
while away a few minutes before his
dinner hour, and there saw a photo
play entitled, "At the End of the Ore
gon Trail." The scene of the pro
duction was supposed to be set in
Oregon City, Mr. Ames says, and
started in with the arrival of a stage
with the Eastern mails and a party of
Indians who had "braved the rapids of
the Willamette to trade skins and
fish with the settlers.''
"The pictures I saw were so real
istic," said Mr Ames, in accounting
for his happy disappointment, "that
it never occurred to me that they
were probably made in California or
on a Montana ranch, where some film
company maintains a typical pioneer
settlement for picture purposes. The
settlement shown on the screen seem
ed to be just on the verge of quitting
its rough and uncough state for later
day civilization, and later on, wnen
I saw by the' railroad time-ta"ole that
stage connections could be made at
Oregon City for various points, I
thought that probably the film repre
sentation was reasonably accurate.
"You can imagine my amusement
when they told me in Salem yesterday
that I could get an interurban car
fiom Oregon City into Portland, and
that I would find paer and woolen
mills here that would well repay me
for a visit. So impressed had I been
with those moving pictures at San
Francisco that I though my Salem ac
quaintances were joking with me;
but when I got off the train I found
that the joke was on me.
"You certainly have an enterprising
city here., and one that bids fair to
develop greatly in the next few years.

Local ranchers are complaining
about the methods of upper Clack
amas valley and Eagle Creek chicken
raisers in selling eggs, and declare
that there is need of a poultrymen's
association in this neighborhood to
maintain a paying market While a
large number of farmers send their
eggs to the wholesalers, many more
sell to regular customers in Oregon
City, Portland and intervening towns;
and most of these aim. to keep their
prices about four or five cents above
wholesale quotations.
Recently poultrymen from the up
per Clackamas valley have been cut
ting into their field by offering eggs
to the retail trade at the same prices
paid by the wholesalers, and they
have thus aroused not only the ire of
lower valley men, but of the commis
sion men a3 well. The upper valley
ranchers explain their move by say
ing that they are overstocked with
eggs, and" preter to get - wholesale t
prices,- rather than lose them alto
gether. There is considerable agitation
among local poultry fanciers for the
formation of a co-operative selling
agency, that will care for both the
wholesale and retail disposition of
eggs. It is said that if the ranchers
would pool all their eggs that they
could serve their regular customers at
retail prices, and could later dis
pose of the balance of stocTi t0 the
commisicn and wholesale houses.
Some also go s far as to suggest the
establisbment of a cold storage ware
house, where the surplus supply could i
be cared for until the season when
laying is reduced to the minimum.

This powerful sociological story, refreshingly new in theme, is a gripping portrayal of the develop
ment of the good which is within all men. An eminent student of criminology advocates the theory
that, given an opportunity, an unfortunate man will renounce an environment. of crime to assume a re
spected position in society. He takes into his house a well known character of the underworld, and by
his unwavering faith overcomes many obstacles and redeems the man. This Is a photoplay you will
think and talk about when others have been forgotten. ; .,
