Preamble and Resolutions.
The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted at a union meeting of the
Methodist, Ilaptist a.id Congregational
churches, held in the M. J, Church in
Oregon City, August 2(ith, 1S77 :
Whkkeas It has been the good fortune
of this community to enjoy the ministra
tions of Rev. G. W. Day for the past two
years, and
Whereas, We understand that in all
probability his labors among us cease
with the close of the present conference
year; therefore be it
Resolved, 1st, That as members and ad
herents of the different churches repre
sented here this evening, we do hereby
express our high esteem' for Urother I lay
as a true gentleman, Christian and Minis
ter of the Gospel, and that we sincerely
congratulate the people who may be fa
vored with his ministrations wherever his
lot may be cast.
Resolved, 2d, That as ministers and
members of different churches we have
not only found i'.rother Day to be a faith
ful laborer in the church constituting his
sjecial charge, but we have found in him
a true souled fellow, thoroughly union in
spirit, rejoicing in and working for the
prosjrity of other churches as well as his
own, and that we shall deeply feel the
loss of his presence and counsel.
Resolved, 3d, That we rejoice in the
assurance we feel that mother Dav s la
bors among us have been greatly blessed
to the moral and spiritual improvement
of this community; that we have been led
to a higher appreciation ot the Gospel of
Jesus i 'hrist and its elevating and saving
power, by 1:-is life and preaching, and that
the fruits of his ministry here will be
recognized as among the iiermanent and
growing conquests of the Redeemer s
Kingdom on Larth.

Recipe for Killing a Town.
Read the following recipe for killin
your tow.n ; it is an admirable one, am
cannot fail to do its work. We have seen
it going the rounds of the press, and high
ly recommended:
1. Put up no more buildings than you
can occupy yourselves.
2. If you should have an empty build
ing to rent, demand three times its value.
3. Look sorry at every new comer ; give
the cold shoulder to every mechanic who
desires to come among you.
4. Go abroad for your goods and wares.
Ry no means purchase from your own
merchants and manufacturers even at the
same price or less.
5. Don't contribute one cent to the cause
of religion or education.
Finally, put a thorough finish to your
work by killing your local paper, refusing
to subscribe for or advertise in it, so th.it
lersoiis at a distance will not know that
any business is being done in your town,
or they may want to come and settle
among you ; or buy something from you,
and that would put you to extra trouble.
Goon for Clackamas. So long as the
land in the vicinity of the fish-hatching
station on the Clackamas river will pro
duce trees that liear such fruits as a sample
box at hand attests are raised by Mr. P.M.
Rinearson, says the Astorian, ve feel con
fident in saying that Clackamas will be as
famous for its salmon and fruits as Clatsop
is now for its salmon and potatoes. A
small box from 1 lope-farm, at the junction
of the Clackamas and Willamette rivers,
has reached this ollice, and wo find in it
two varieties of plums, two varieties of
pvaehes. Rinearson's seedling plum, fruits
which the world is challenged to beat, for
size, flavor and perfect beauty. Mr. Ri
nearson will please accept our thanks for
this kind remembrance of us, which calls
to mind the davs ot autd lang sine.
when we were just as busy at Oregon City.
Goon "Yiki.d. Mr. Jas. Cochran called
last Wednesday, and reported farmers in
the southern part of the county busy har
vesting and the wheat crop turning out
first rate. James claims to have largest
yield to the acre in Clackamas county so
far as heard from, lie reports one field
of eight acres which averaged forty-seven
bushels to the acre, ana another ot seven
teen which averaged thirty bushels to the
acre. Roth pieces were grubbed last fall,
and cleared ready for the plow in March :
the first piece being plowed twice and the
other only once. The clearingof this land
cost something over Minn, and tile first
crop will bring in at least i9oo.
Take Youn Local Papeu.-Do the city
papers say anything in regard to your
own town? Nothing. Do they contain
notices of your schools, churches, im
provements, and hundreds of other local
matters of interest which your home paper
publishes without pay 7 rsotanitem. 110
they ever say a word calculated to draw
attention to your county and aid 111 its
progress and enterprise ? Not a line. And
there are men who take such contracted
views ot this matter: that unless thev are
getting as many souare inches ot reading
matter in their own as they do in a citv
paper they think they are not getting tho
worth of their money.
Base Ram.. The Clackamas club has
challenged the Athletics ot Portland to
play the second game of a series at this
place next Saturday morning at half past
nine, ihe Athletics nave not answereu
up to the time of going to press, but we

on hand. Our club has lost two of its
best players, the Carter brothers, pitcher

game at Portland recently; but we feel
confident that they will carry off the hon
ors without any great exertion.

Important Local Decision. His Hon
or Judge Shattuek rendered a decision last
week in tho case of the City of Astoria
against the county of Clatsop, involving
the questions of the right of the county to
fay out county roads over the streets of
the city, and to collect the road tax within
the limits ot the city. I ho judge m ren
dering the decision field that the question
na-.i oecn in a measure settietl by the
supreme court 111 the case ot the city ot
huist Portland against Multnomah county.
This.savs the Astorian.sets at rest, without
in appeal is taken, a iiucst'ioii that has
vexed our community for some time past.
The city was represented in the ease by
. F. Hell, its attorney, and tho county by
Raleigh Stott, district attorney, who, we
understand, talks of carry ing the case up
to the supreme court. Unller the decision,
however, the city authorities are fully en
titled to collect the road tax until it shall
be reversed on appeal.
IIavino a Time. Last Saturday after
noon several of the men working for
Prof. Stone, on the Clackamas, came into
town and indulged in considerable "tangle-foot."
They made things howl for a
while reminding one of early times in
this city. About " o'clock one of them
drew a dirk on a young man and was go
ing to make mince meat of him, but our
young friend, being considerably on the
shoulder, soon laid the fisherman out with
a bruised head and a bad looking eye. The
"terror" st ruck out for other fields of sport
and made his way into Mr.W. Fish's store
and proceeded to strike the proprietor
once or twice in the face. For this offense
he was taken before the City Recorder
and mulcted of 2 for his fun. During
the evening he was in the field again with
several comrades, and several rowsoccur
icd none of a serious nature, however.
At tiik li.vsiN. The improvements
which have been going on at the basin for
the past two months are almost completed
and most all of the workmen have been
discharged. The mud has ben almost
entirely cleaned out, and water-gates have
been placed in the west side so that the
accumulation can be carried out without
any dil'iicuUv in tho future. The water
was turned in the basin last Sunday after
noon, and everything was found to be in
good condition. The water was turned
into the drv-dock last week and the Occi
dent placed on tho ways for repairs. Mr.
Win. Pratt, the accommodating clerk at
the warehouse, informs us that the cost of
tho work on the basin and dry -dock will
amount to about $U),IMM).
Ri:r.Ks,N-Ri-:iUbATioNs. Mr.P.Paquet
school director, has placed us under obli
gations for the printed Rules and Regula
tions for the government of the Oregon
City public school. They were adopted
by the directors at a meeting held August
Jth, 1S77, and are well adapted for the pur
pose. We make the follow ing extract 111
regard to rates of tuition for pupils riving
outside of the district: "Pupils coming
from outside the district may bo admitted
at tho following rates: For the fourth,
third and second grades, . 2 per month;
and fr the first grade, S3 per month.
Tuition payable monthly in advance."

fiiE First Catch. Last Monday the
fishermen at tho fish propagation court on
the Clackamas put the seine in the river
and caught seven fine salmon. The seine
would not work well on account of not
having enough floats. Prof. Stone was
highly gratified with the catch, and pre
diets plenty ot salmon tor- breeding pur
poses, ihe t'olumbia river men say they
will leel satisfied it three million fish are
spawned this season, and the Prof, says
he is confident of getting at least ten mil

Attention, Soldiers. An exchange
savs: I lie courts have decided that pri

bit of information is given for the special
benefit of soldiers ih this vicinity' and
elsewhere, w ho were prisoners and havo
never received such coin. nutation "
Wheat. Tlie price of wheat has gon
down considerable within the last two
weeks, and some of our farmers are mak
ing sorry faces. Most of the papers of the
State predict a rise shortly, and we are of
the same opinion. The Marion county
farmers have got excited and declare that
the wheat 1 uyers have formed a ring to
keep prices down, and they are "pooling"
their wheat for better times.

Among the hurtful consequences of obstruct

blood, and since a deterfatlve condition of the
vital fluid not onlv produces dangerous organic
weakness, but, according to the best medical
authorities, sometimes causes asphyxia, it is
apparent that to improve the quality of the
blood by promoting dfgestion and assimila

purpose, since it. stimulates the gastric juices.

I have been troubled from my lioyhood
with chronic or hereditary lung complaint.
Some years since, early in the winter, I took
cold, which as usual settled into a severe
cough, which continued to increase as me
season advanced, although I made use of all
the cough remedies I had knowledge of. My
familv physician also prescribed for me, but
I experienced no relief. During all this time
was gradually running down, losing nesn
and strength, until my friends as welt as my
self, became very much alarmed, talnking I
should waste away in consumption. While
in Most on, during t lie spring following, x was
induced to try Wistak's Hals am ok Wild

that it was relieving m; ; in ten days time my
cough had entirely ceased, and I was soon re
