The convict will be employed in making tove and and aimilar work. The fonndrr plant at the penitentiary basbeen leased to Mr. Loweoburg for ten year at an an na rental of $2000. The electrical industry in this . -country is but seventeen year eld, yet there are over 1,000,000,000 of capital invested iii it. Th greater part M this immense in vestment ha been made since 1888, when the electric motor wa nroved to be a success. Within " the last five years Oregon City has grown to be one of the great elec tric center of the United State, and there is now invested in this city nearly $1,000,000 in this great industry. With the oresent growth this immense sum will be doubled within the next five years, making Oregon City one of th greatest electric centers in th world. Oregon City Enterprise. The outlook for Oregon is indeed promising. The wlet crop pro mises large yield,fc nop crop is already assured, ana the supply bountiful. The fruit crop i im mense, and of every variety. The potato crop will be immense if there come good rain. The hay- j ing is about finished and the yield satisfactory. !

All in all Oregon has much to be thankful for. Our people are prosperous,our crops good and stock are fat We have plenty of room for more, and invite all good peo ple to come hither. A presbyterian minister of Pitts burg, Pennsylvania, thinks he ha made new discovery, namely, that Chinese caunot be converted to Christianity. This may be new to the Eastern divine, but to the ordinary' mortal on the Pacific coast, this fact is well established. These creatures are shrewd, cun ning, and discerning. They will become christians, in order to learn the language of the country, and have pretty white girls teach tbem the way to salvation: But they never become christians to such an extent a to cut off their queues; when they do, then you can gener ally count on their sincerity, other wise, they will bear watching.

In this manor they were no worse off (or shall we hi no better) than many others at that tauie time and place, the gen eral, for example, when he was intro duced to strangers had a way of saying in a loud voice: "Yea, air! Iy name is Bangs, air. And that waa my name before X came here.". Then he would look ;j,s,TDssively around, and it hap pened nut infrequently that of them that har J him one or two would turn a Uau p-l-- and cast down their eyea All, whither have they gone, those judges, commodores and ganerals who for a brkf time seemed to own the town ; Can it be that they are all in Oklahoma?

Uelicve in tiiis railroad? Well, they knew the public did, anyhow the icar. trustful public that always be lieves in tilings. ' The colonel had been a newspaper man ui uis early oays, and understood the gentle art of "working tbe press." In a kurra isingly short time, every body in southern California knew that great things were in store for the new citv of Eomc there could be no doubtof it, becanw the newspapers said so. On a certain day in August the traot was to be thrown open to the public in a grund auction. In tho meantime a few lots were disposed of at private sale principally to newspaper men, public officials of high standing, rail way magnates, famous writers and ac tors.' Tho major was to act aa auctioneer. He admitted to bis partners that he had never sold lots in his life, his greatest efforts heretofore in tho line of misrepresentation having been lim ited to tbe trading of horses. "The principle seems to be about the same, however," he said. "Ask five times what it is worth, and then take whatever is offered." ' lie wo a cool and easy speaker. The crowd, the music and the enthusiastic cheering of the cappers moved him to extraordinary effort Many of those who came to scoff remained to buy- No one was more astonished at the result of the sale than the conspira tors themselves. There was money enough to transform the option into a deed, pay all the debts of the company establish a hanasome bank account, and fill the pocket of all three with coin. So much prosperity terrified the major, who anxiously inquired whether they had not better divide np and bolt. The others langbed at his fears. They bad accomplished thus much with no money at all There waa no limit to what they could do now with reestablished credit and a full locker. "But we must change our tactics," the general admitted. "Heretofore it has been faith and not works that we have offered the public. We must show them that we mean business, that we are laying the foundation of a greateity." . The next day fifty men went to work in Borne, and the dirt began to fly in all directions. They were laying out a System of wonderful streets, parks and Douievams. -loe officers of the Ulori ous Climate Land and Water company went about buying back a few of tits 1 WW tltttd sai4 tfHMb Mljjeaiuf i the wjtrlcet Several' thouMiud itrcot railwuy tios, rented for a short time, fcwore scattered through the tract to lorcsnadow the coming trum wn vs. To hear of these things through the newspapers did the public seriously incline. When the second sale took place, the crowd in attendance . was ononnoua. People fought for places, and offered to pay such amazing prices that the major, hardened horse-dealer that he was, almost hesitated to ac cept the bids. When the day was done the city of Borne hail passed complete ly out of the possession of tho com pany. Now it was the general who coun seled immediate flight lie had re ceived a little more "inside informs tion"-the C. B. R. R. was not coming to California at all! "Wo must got out ! 2h Ttry bulo,?"it prm said he, "or we, shall be tarred and leathered." "And the many promisos of the Glorious Climate company," said the colonel "the boulevards we were to i build, parks to lay out, public build in?"! to construct how about them?" I The general smiled. "Lot the Eng lish syndicate take care of all that," sai.l he. A tew Uays later, the trio had disap peared. So had the laborers upon tho loumlution, of Rome. As a matter of mot, tho great boom in southern Cali fornia was ut an end. The impression began to leuk into many people that somewhere they had heard something about "a fool and his money." As for tho three, they certainly were no fools. Hut The genoral went to New York and lost it all in Wall street The colonel went to Ohio and lost it all trying to found a newspapor. The major went to Europe and lost it all at Monte Carlo, Naturally each, when stranded, ap pealed to the others. Naturally, too, the reply in each case was depressing. It was seven years after the episode of Bome that the three men drifted to gether again in Chicago, ' The general's coat was again ahiny at the seams and his cuffs frayed us before. The colonel drank bcor nud smoked cheap cigurs. The major had evidently taken to strong liquors. Each confessed to discontent, though none of thoin was disposed to go into particulars. All lamented the halcyon days of the founding of Bome. "There was no such combination aa that at Moute Carlo," said the major. "JSo such iambs iu Wall Btreet," sighed the general. "No such suckers in Ohio," echoed the colonel. "Why not go back there?" ashed the general. "1 dont mean to Home, for' the coyotes must have jumned tliut claim, but to southern California." "Walk?" said the colonel, briuiiy. "I can get the trcaapia-tatioa," said the general. "My pull with the road still holds good one way.". , "One way?" repeated the major, "Yea away from New York, whore my swell relatives live, The return is not soeaay." . , "8haU wo go by the California or lluat line?" asked the major, with a grin. . "Yon needn't laugh," said the gen eral. "That road was built after all, and I intend to get passes over it." tour clr.ys later, as the C. IS. Ii. B. "Overland" was Hearing thv end of it:; run, the three comrades, oe; in u poker game in tho smoking em , wore eleomued to hear a passenger uy;u;r: This station is Home. Grow., o.'ite a city, hasn't it?" "Vi ha-a-t!" cried the general, drop ping his cards, "Is there a itome on thiit line?" Is there?" echoed the pasjenjer. "Just look out of the window and see!" The three rushed to the ululform j;i it as the train threw up at a li..ml-Bdu-ic station surrounded by a well kept park. In plain letiers over the door they read the name: "Yes, it's the place," said the colonel, "Don't you tiee the hills covered with beautiful residences just as I proisioi ed they would be." The general led the wny out into the main street it waa budt up g-ilid-ly with sulMtantial-lookuig but4 -:s blocks. The sldeviillis were er..u;eJ with people moving .briskly. Leveral street cars and omnibuses p isat il. vell filled with arrivals from the traiu. The oHieers of .the one-time U. C. L. AW. C. walked ou for sorao duuinee without speaking. At length the major, turning to the general, broke out: "What do yon :sup pose property is worth here in the busi ness section?" , The general groaned, but did not speak. , "If we had only held on!" said the colonel, "If we had only believed a little bit of onr own Ileal" "And these lots that we let go for a song," said the major, indignantly, "are now crowded with big buildings, and worth no end of money. We wore robbed, gentlemen! I say robbed!" "What are we doing here?" growled the general, sarcastically.. "Tninl: of taking an option on the city? Let's get out! I sec no particular opening here for the geese that didn'i save ltome. The walking is good. Come along out of this!"
