Clean loru heat. Wheat buyers
are complaining of the dirty wheat which
is being sent to market. A Portland paper
says of wheat which has been received
there: "Some lots were rejected and sent
back to the owners ; other lots, bv order
of the original owners, will tie cleaned
and the exjeiise charged to them. Every
sack is examined, and it is useless to till
ud with dirt and trash. Considerable of
the wheat received at the warehouses will
lose ten nercent bv cleaning, tew thresh
ing machines can clean wheat well enough
to' be sent to market, expecting it to get
O
the ruling price, and the farmers would
Cdo well to have it fanned and screened
after threshing. It costs considerable more
to clean the wheat at the mills or Portland
than at home.

IVm. Fouts.
Wm. Fouts, the subject of this sketch.
who died at his residence in Canemah on
the 15th inst., was a pioneer of Oregon. He
was born in Prook county, Virginia, Nov.
11th, 1703. In lSia he emigrated to Ohio
and settled at or near McConnelsville, in
the beautiful valley ot the Muskingum,
being also a pioneer ot that settlement,
where he lived for more than thirty years.
He was for many years superintendent of
public works on the Muskingum river,
and discharged his duties with marked
ability and integritj-. He also suierin
tended the building of a court house, prol
ably the first court house in Morgan Co.
In 1S30 he visited Oregon, crossing the
plains, and being pleased with this coun
try, lie located at Canemah, and in the
following year returned to Ohio for his
family. Iii ls)2 he re-crossed the plains
with bis family, several relatives and
many neighlMirs and acquaintances. Hay
ing once crossed the plains, he was a use
ful guide and safe counselor to those who
accompanied him. The w riter remembers
him on that long and tedious journey as
an example of patience, good humor and
confidence to his fellow travelers. lie
arrived in Oregon about .the last of Sep
tember at his chosen home in Canemah,
where he h is ever since remained, w ork
ing at his business as carpenter and boat
builder, until advancing years admonish
ed him that it was time to rest. He was
the last but one of a family of twelve chil
dren, all of whom lived "to an advanced
age. For nearly forty years he had been
a worthy member of the Masonic Fra
ternity, and was buried with the usual
formalities of the Craft. He lived an u;
right blameless life, doing no man wrong,
and died at the I ix age of s. years, hon
ored and respected by all w ho knew him.
I lo leaves four sons to mourn his loss.
The Atclu Amateurs.
A fair-sized audience gathered at Pope's
Hall last Friday evening, the occasion of
the dramatic entertainment by the Atclu
amateurs of this city. "Pread upon the
waters" was the title of the hiy, and,
everything taken into consideration, it was
very well rendered. The following was
the cast of characters: Dr. Harlem," C. M
Inskeep; Harry Harlem, Fred Gaeenu.au
b red Hastings, Frank Campbell; ob
W inders, M. li. Phoads; Jonathan Wild
Putts, Frank Col lard ; Pucy Harlem, Miss
Ollie Jerome; Mrs. Poring, Miss Kate
Frazer; Dilly, Miss Ella Rhoad. The
players all enacted their parts in a manner
reflecting much credit on themselves, and
we will not offend by bestowing special
praise on any one. While there may have
been a few defects owing to this being the
first appearance of most of tho players he
fore the foot-lights, everything went off
smoothly.
After the first act, Mr. H. O. Inskeep
favored tho audience with a character
song entitled "I'segwine back to Dixie,"
which he rendered in good style.
A duet by Miss Emm Mirier and M.s.
Frances E. Dement entitled tho "Alpine
Song," was rendered in a praisewoithy
manncr.
Apple Crop ix Clackamas. -The Oro
goni in says the apple crop of Clackamas
county is almost a failure. It lacks con
siderable of iK'inga failure, and will be a
source of considerable revenue to fruit
raisers. In the Horse-heaven country, we
are informed that thn fruit crop is short,
and wi'.l not ha much more than is needed
for home consumption. In other parts of
the county, if we arc correctly informed,
the crop is nearly up to average, and in
splendid condition. Past year it was over
average, and it is not expected to have as
heavy yield this year; but there will be
an abundance for" home use, and a fair
amount for shipping.
House Tn iki- Past Thursday a stran
ger hired a horse at Clement's stable to go
to New Era, and said ho would return the
same day, but has failed to put in an ap
pearance. Ed. went lo New Era Friday
to find his man, but heard nothing of
either horse or man. We are informed
that a man with a horse answering to the
descri pt ion of the one stolen crossed Samiy
bridge last Saturday afternoon, and the
thief has ere this brought up in Cue bunch
grass country. The horse was valued at
about Still, and was one of Ed's her.t riding
nags. It won't do to trust strangers too
much nowadays.
Iron Works Solo. The sale of the
Oregon Iron Works at Oswego took place
on the lot li inst., and was bid in by Messrs
Seeley, Prou n A: Creighton, for ifoi'.ooo. It
seems a little mieer that such a valuable
piece o4 property, with rich stockholders
to back it up, should be sold at such a low
figure; but v.e suppose it is all right. The
outlay of the old company was more than
foui times the amount paid for it at the
sin-riff's sale. Tho new proprietors are all
well acquainted with iron manufacture.
anil we understand that thev will
mence work again next spring.

with especial care for the Oregon Citv trade.All
of which 1 now offer for sale at the
Lowest Market Rates.
No use for the ladies, or any one else, to
think of going to Portland to buy goods for I
am Determined to Sell Cheap and not to allow
myself to be
UNDERSOLD I. THE STATE OF
OKEGOX.
All I ask is a fair chance and quiekj pay
ments, believing as I do that
Twenty Years Experience
in Oregon City enables me to know the re
quirements of the trade. Come one and all
and see lor yourselves that the old stand ol
tiiomas cn a par ax
cannot be beaten in quality or price. It would
be useless for me to tell you all the advantages
I can offer you in t he pale of goods, as ev re
store that advertises does that, and probably
you have been disappointed. All 1 wish to
say is
romp, and See, anil Examine for Vonnplvcs,
for Ido not wish to make any mistakes. My
object is to tell all my old friends now that l
am still alive, and desirous to sell goods cheap,
for cash, or upon such terms as agreed upon.
Thanking all for the liberal patronage hereto
