EARLY BUILDINGS

SITES OF HISTORICAL; SIGNIFICANCE'IN OREGON Cm.

AsiUUat Secretary Oeorie H. Macs, of tbfOrc(oa Historical Society, la Endeavoring

to Secure Informatloa For PenaaoeaRecord In the Archives ol the Society.

George H. Himes, assistant Secretaryof the Oregon Historical Society, wasin the city last week. He is trying tosecure information regarding the sitesof historical buildings in this city andwants the of the peoplehere. About March, Mr. Himes willdeliver an address on this subject be-

fore the Mother's Club in this city.It will be given in some public place,probably the Presyterian Church, anda small admisison fee will be charged.Mr. Himes says:' Since Oregon City is so intimatelyassociated with .the earliest events

connected with the growth of Oregon,

it is important that the exact locationor site where some of these historicevents took place, be correctly fixed.

With that idea in mind, for some timepast I have been endeavoring, in inter-

views with early pioneers, to find, theexact site of the printing office of theOregon Spectator, the first Newspaperon the Pacific Coast ; also to locate thebuilding in w hich the first legislativesession was held. As to the printingoffice, there seems to be substantialagreement that it was on Third street,

about sixty feet' west of Mainandfaoed south looking Towards the Allan,McKinlay & Co. store, which stood on

the corner where the northern end ofthe woolen mills stand, it is believed,on the east side of Main street, at thesoutheast corner ' of Sixth. As . theeffort to locate historic points is beingmade in the interest of the Oregon

Historical Society, it is desirable thatevery means possible shall be made.

FREIGHT RATES UP

COMBINATION OF TRANSPORTATION

COMPANIES AGAINST MERCHANTS.

Schedule Nearly Doubled and Business Men

Are Preparing to Fight. Should NeiotU-tioo- i

Result la Failure to Reach Ajree-e- nt

An Independent Boat Will Be Put On.

A. ROBERTSON.F. T. BARLOW.FRANK BUSCH.

Three of Oregon City's merchantsare in Portland today interviewingthe heads of the Southern Pacific Co. ,

the Oregon Railroad & NavigationCo. , the Oregon Water Power & Railway Co. , and the Oregon City Trans-

portation Co. , to see what can be donetoward effecting a reduction of thefreight rates between Oregon City andPortland.

On the first of this montli these fourcompanies entered into a combinationto raise the freight rates from f1.50 perton to f2. 50 per ton and upwards. ,

The merchants raised a howl andif they cannot persuade the companiesto reduce to the old figure, it is prob-

able that arrangements will be madeto place an independent boat on thePortland-Orego- n City run and agreeto give such a steamer all of thefreight, coming 'in and out of OregonCity: There is no question but thatit would pay handsomely and itshould be easy to secure a boat. Thereare several independent companies inPortland that would be glad of theopportunity to place a boat on therun.

The increase in the freight rates ismanifestly unjust and there is no. goodreason for the advance. Before thestrike on the O. W. P. & Ry. Co. lastSummer the . rate was $1 per ton andwhen the merchants turned in andhelped the company to get a freightfranchiso, the Oregon' Water Powerpoople paid back evil for good andplaced the rate at $1.60j)er ton. Themerchants accepted this without amurmur for the convenience it offeredbut they simply cannot and will notstand the new rate.

It would mean business suicide .formany of them. ' '

It hits the grocers particularly hard.The fight to get a reasonable rate

between Portland and Oregon Citymeans something to the people of thecounty, for they are the persons thatin many cases will have to stand theraise. They should stand behind themerchants in the fight to a finish.

If it should come to an independentboat, there might be some difficultyin obtaining dock privileges thoughsome of the merchants say that theycould go on the West side of the riverif necessary. The business men, orat least many of them, would neverhave left the Oregon City Transporta-tion Co. , except for the fact that thedockage facilities were bad and thecompany

v would do nothing to remedythem. '

Some Words.According to the late Richard A.

Proctor, says the London Chronicle,the phrase "I guess," to English earsso ridiculous. Is really Identical withthe old expression, "1 wis," meaning"I know." The word ''guess" hugchanged its meaning entirely In Eng-land, but has partly preserved It InAmerica, where of course the nativesays "I guess" when he Is more or lessin a state of certainty. There are manyother examples of words' that haveplayed fast and loose with "g"and"w," such as "guardian" and "ward-en," "guard" and "ward," "gulchut"and "wicket"
