Y ou BET IT IS. THE BO SS IS AU OUT OF THE REAL tobacco chew 1 )r a k ^ 6* M au oK . 2 < 7 0 1 r fC S ------- J2a M ash . st. Portland, Latest of Classv H A T S K itty T ells H e r S tory S T by the taste and the way it keeps J U you tobacco satisfied, you can tell that “ Right-Cut” is the Real Tobacco Chew. For the first time in your life you’ll get the satisfying taste of pure, rich, mel low tobacco— seasoned and sweetened just enough. Ready chew— the taste comes steady all the while right from the start. Take a very small chew —less than one-quarter the old size. It will be more satisfying thun a mouthful o f ordinary tobacco. Just nibole on it until you find the strength chew that suits you. Tuck it away. Then let it rest. See how easily and evenly the real tobacco taste comes, how it satisfies without grindiug, how much less you have to spit, how few chews you take to be tobacco satisfied. That's why it is The Real Tobacco Chew. That’ s why it costs less in the end. It is ■ ready ch ew , cut fine anJ short shred so thnt yon w on’ t have to grind on it with your teeth.

W E Y M A N -B R U T O N CO M P AN Y BO U n i o n S q u a r e , N e w Y o r k ( buy FROM DEALER OR SEND IQ tSTAM PSTO US^ The Oregon City Courier, af ter continued mysterious adver tising about “ Kitty” has sprung a novel surprise in the form o f a so called article ( " b y Kitty” ). I-t is possible that a few o f the masculine populace o f Clackamas county know what a “ kitty” is, in connection with a quiet poker game. Anyway a “ kitty” is a little side pot, made up o f a per centage o f the money at stake, which pot is used to defray the expenses o f the game, or repre sents the gambling house propri etor’ s share or rake-off. “ K itty” in her current article tells o f a so-called kitty or rake- off which for years past has been present in the office o f the county clerk, comprising additional fees and gratuities, emanating from the n stin g of certified copies of documents and from other sour ces. Inasmuch as the 1903 session laws provided for fiat salaries o f county officers, it was expected that such fees would be turned in to the county treasurer, but apparently that has not been the case, for “ K itty” discloses the fact that these small sums o f money are placed in a separate pot r kitty and used for and by the employes o f the office. The kitty often amounting ty as high $30. per month. While “ K itty’s ” revelations are not absolutely a chronicling o f dishonesty, they are at least an exposure o f a waste in county management. The tax payers will probably appreciate further articles by “ K itty,” descriptive o f her ram- blings and perigrinations through other county offices, and if poor “ Kitty” cant smell out the rats alone, we can assure her o f our help and moral support.

Estacada, Oregon *• - J z r sr The Currinsville road crew, in charge o f Supervisor \. Kitch- ing, has been accomplishing much since the present good weather set in. Friday, June 4th was volunteer I day and a big delegation o f loyal good roads supporters turned out, rocked and graded the road from the Currinsville hall to the rail road station, and graveled it the following Tuesday. Two or three crews have been working in the district, and have already graded and rolled in the rock on the stretch from the Eagle Creek bridge to the top of the Alspaugh hill. The re-rock- ing and graveling o f the Taylor road, from the main highway to wards the railway tracks is about completed and graveling is also being done on the main road near the Currin place.

New School Law Provides People Shall Know Of Expenses A new state educational law recently went into effect which provides that hereafter in mak ing tax levies every school dis trict in the state must publish a budget o f the estimated amount o f revenue required fo** the en suing year for the maintenance of the schools. It is also manda tory that the districts in which high schools are maintained, shall publish notices of special or annual meetings o f the districts at least two weeks before the meeiing ¡3 held. In districts where there are no newspapers the notice is posted on the door o f the school house, but where newspapers are published the no tice appears in the papers. Following is the section relat ing to the budgets: “ Section 2. It shall be the duty o f the district clerk o f any district at least two weeks before a meeting is held for the purpose o f levying taxes to publish in one or more newspapers published in the district and having general circulation, a budget statement o f the.estimated amount o f rev enue required for the ensuing year for the maintenance o f the school district, and in districts in which no newspaper is published the clerk shall post sucli budget on the door o f the school house in said district at least ten days before the meeting. It shall be the duty o f directors o f any such district to make out and deliver to the district clerk o f their dis trict, an itemized statement o f the amourt o f revenues which may he required for the purpose o f carrying on the district schools for the ensuing year, which state ment shall be signed by the board o f directors at a legally called hoard meeting” . It would appear from this plain law that unless it is complied with the school tax will be void. To Bridge The Clackamas The work on the Oregon City pipe line is progressing rapidly, with about 60% o f the ditch al ready dug. The contractors have opened up a road between the railroad tracks and the river, near the Upper Dam, this road connects with a new bridge which will span the river at the nar- nows, near the present water- gauge. With the completion o f this bridge the road wi 1 be con tinued up the south side o f the river. Many carloads o f steel pipe have already been delivered at Oregon City and within a week or so, pipe will be passing through Estacada to be laid above and below here.
