Local Telephone Co. Prosperous.
Molalla and vicinity prides itself in
having one of the best rural telephone
systems in the state. It was never in
better condition than at present. The
local company has been incorporated
recently. The new property which was
purchased recently has been fully paid
for and the company is out of debt.
There are two hundred and forty mem-
bers of the company, which is coopera-
tive. The expense has been six dollars
per year. In spite of the exceeding
cheapness of the service it has given
access to two thousand phone including
Canby, Oregon City and other places.
It would be hard to over estimate the
importance of this factor in the develop-
ment of the community.

MOLALLA GRANGE MEETS
Election of Delegates
The Molalla Grange held their regular
monthly meeting Satturday.
There was a good attendance. After
the morning session a dinner was served
in the dining room of that Grange Hll.
At 1:30, the lecturer’s hour to which all
were invited. There was a good at-
tendance and the program was enter-
taining with the discussion practical.
The questions discussed were “school
and local fairs,” and “floriculture.” It
is the intention of the Grange to hold
their
annual
fair
this
fall.
At the next regular meeting, which is
the first Saturday of the month, Pro-
fessor Wagener will demonstrate the use of the
milk and cream test. It will
be made plain how this modern method
of telling with a certainty how valuable
any certain cow is. C. A. Jackson was
initiated into the membership of the
order.
H. J. Rastel, J. W. Thomas and A.
J. Shoemaker were elected delegates
to the county convention to be help at
Oregon City, March 11 for the purpose
of electing delegates to the State Grange.
Mrs. H. J. Kesiel, Mrs. P. I. Scam
mell and J. V. Hurless were elected alt-
ternates.
Railroad Grading in Progress
P. Berdine of Mulino, who had a con-
tract for grading on the P. E. & E
road has established a camp on the
farm of J. I. Waldron about three
miles north of Molalla and has com-
menced the work.
There is another camp below Liberal
near the Oak Grove school house. It is
the intention of the railroad company to
crowd the work of construction and it
is expected that in the early summer
trains will be running into Molalla.
Pioneer Dies.
John Arquett of Colton died at St.
Johns on Monday. He was a pioneer
of this country. He was born on French
Prairie and was distantly related to the
famous Dr. McKay of the Hudson Bay
Company. He was an octogenarian.
The burial occurred in Portland on
Tuesday.
Richard Johnson Dead
Richard Johnson of Union Mills died
Wednesday morning from Cerebro Spin-
al Meningitis. He had been sick but
five days. He worked up to four o’clock
on February 27 when a physician was
called but he had become unconscious
when the doctor arrived. He was al-
most twenty years of age. The funeral
will be held at Colton today. He was
born in Milaca, Minnosota.
Gary’s Salary Increased
The bill providing for the increase of
the salary of the County SuperIntend
ent of schools of Clackamas county
from $1,000 per year to $1,600, although
vetoed by the Governor was passed over
the veto. This means that T. J. Gary,
present superintendenr, will receive the
increased salary, which he deserves.
A hard fight was made against the bill
but friends of Mr. Gary proved to the
members of the legislature that it was
just. It was shown that the school su-
pervisors in this county are receiving
$1,000 for ten months of service while the
superintendent
received
the
same
amount for 12 month’s work.
Molalla Will Incorporate
There was a movement started some-
time ago to have the town of Molalla
incorporated into a city of the fourth
class. The matter was halted on the
advice of the attorney who has the
work in charge, to await the action of
the legislature. Now that this matter
is settled the arrangements will be
completed. This is a move that is much
needed and desired by the citizens.
The growth that has already started in
the town makes it necessary to have
local matters locally controlled.
Molalla and Meadowbrook Bridge
A petition has been circulated and
largely signed to be presented to the
next county court asking that a bridge
be built across the Molalla river at
Schafer’s mill. The establishment of
a bridge at this point will be a great
accomodation to a large number of
people, and in proportion to the cost
would benefit more country than almost
any other project before the county at
this time. It would enable the people
of Colton, Meadowbrook and Molalla to
travel from one community and avoid
two hills which are well nigh impass-
able, besides shortening the distance of
travel. Anyone who is interested and
has not yet signed the petition can find
one at Robbin’s store. A good delega-
tion of citizens expect to attend the
court at the next sessionand urge the
cause which is a just one. There is
little doubt but that the court will act
favorably on the matter.
Unions
“By the way said the old shoe-
maker “do you know what makes a
bunion? No? Well it is simply getting shoes
too
short.
In
a
short
shoe,
the
foot
cannot
follow
the
dictates
of
growth imposed by nature. But it sim-
ply cannot keep from growing. So the
tissue and bones and flesh that should
go into the toe are simply sidetracked into a bunch
whereverit can get the easiest and forms a bunion.
Baseball practice is in full swing. If
satisfactory arrangements can be made
the boys will play a game with Oregon
City High School before the opening of
the League season. The Oregon City
team in question is not the regular
team being made up of players from
the four High School classes. The
schedule this year takes its pupils in the
9th and 10th grades only. The winning
or losing of this game will not effect
county standings in any way.
The ninth grade has just completed
the Bookkeeping Course and will take up
Agriculture at once. So far as possible
practical work will be done ad be
reconnected up with the School Fair to a
considerable extent.
The High School pupils will give a
Hard Time Social at the Grange Hall,
Friday evening, Mar. 7. Come in your
worst looking outfit or you may be fired.
The proceeds will be applied toward the
new suits just ordered for the boys.
Come out and boost for the youngsters.
They will try to give you a pleasant
evening.
The Echerd Children are still out of
school on account of scarlet fever.
The 8th grade has lost one member.
Ruth Herman has dropped out.
Zella Slaver will be back in school in
a week or so. She has had rheumatism
following an attack of scarlet fever.
Leonard Vick reported that on at
least one evening recently he was follow-
ed by a ghost. At first he planned
to stay at home evenings but has given
up that idea figuring that if the ghost
is after him it will get him anyway.
The same keen interest in the spelling
contest is displayed by the pupils of the
intermediate room that was shown at
the beginning. The scores are nearly
the same on both side of each grade
this month. Merle Adams, Vida Cole,
and Ofa Adams were the highest
winners in their respective grade last
month.
The
supplementary
readers
have
Added fresh interext to that branch
in the sixth grade.
The boys and girls are planning there
gardening and hand work for the school
fair to be held in the fall.
Pupils of the fourth, fifth, and sixth
grades are writing letters to pupils of
the same grades of other States. This
has proved to be very enjoyable and
instructive to them, and helps them to
get better ideas in geography.
Explained
“What is this civil service business
that they are always talking about?”
asked the boob. “What good does
it do?”
“It’s like this,” replied the cheerful
idiot. “If you have a job and you are not
under civil service, they can fire you
any time they want to. But if you
have a job under civil service they
can’t fire you unless they want to.”
