The Wheels of Its Industries Are Turned by a Mighty Cataract, | IN A PICTURESQUE LOCATION.; Nestles on a Plateau Between the‘ Coast Range and Cascade Mountains. OREGUN CITY, Or., May 21.—Here, at the loweredge of the Willamette Valley, is one of the mostinteresting places on the Pacific Coast. nia has passed the whole length of the rich valley between the Coast Range and | The traveler from Califor- | sea level. To the northward the snowy dome of St. Helens and to the east of that Mount Adams’ rugged peaks come boldly into view. Then in the southeast Mount Jefferson and the Three Sisters rise high above the crest of the range and punctuate the landscape. All these peaks are per- petually ice-clad. In the latter part of the summer the snow disappears, leaving vast | areas of glaciers exposed, and the moun- | tains lose much of their dazzling white- ness and grow more seamed and rugged in | appearance. There are few places in the world where such wealth of scenic beauty {is presented. There is harmony and majesty in it and it never grows old. Oregon City is essentially a manufac- turing town. It was the chief city of Ore- gon for a number of years in pioneer times, but in the undeveloped condition of the country’s resources there was small appreciation of the gigantic power wasting | over the falls beyond its ability to grind wheat for bread for a few hundred people, and trade was transferred to points nearer the ocean, where ships could be laden for the gold fields of California, that people were then going wild over. Now that the country is reaching a stage of de- | velopment requiring manufactures and manufacturing facilities, another era of supremacy lies before the city. About $50,000 is paid out monthly in wages in Oregon City. This money goes to employes of the electric company; of the woolen mill, the annual output of which exceeds $750,000; of the flouring | mills, having a capacity of 1100 barrelsa | day, and sending their product to Liver- pool and China; of the paper and pualp mills, turning out an annual product of about 30,000 tons, one of the mills being the largest on the Pacific Coast; of an ex- celsior and shoddy mill, two sawmills, fa | | sash and door factory, a machine-shop, a soap-factory, a cement-mill, a wooden- pump factory, an ice-factory, and a num- ber of smaller manufacturing and repair shops. The value of the annual product | of these manufacturing plants is about | $3,000,000. Another important industry is that of | furnishing electricity for light and power. RIFLE RECORDS ON TWO RANGES, Shell Mound Marksmen Being Won Over to Nitro Powder. FINE RESULTS ACHIEVED It Has Proved Successful the Springfield Military Musket, in SCHUETZEN MEDAL-WINNERS, J. Utschig Champion of the California Club—H. Guembel Jr. Secures Kingly Honors. To a great extent yesterday was nitro- powder day at the Shell Mound range, ard the spiteful bark of the new explosive could be heard at all times through the sullen roar of the black-powder, tusillade, the Cascade Mountains. The long lines of | hills rapidly approach each other at the foot of the valley until & rim of rock is reached connecting the two mountain chains. volume of the Willamette River, forming a cataract of picturesque beauty, and a water power of great commercial value. | Here is Jocated the town of Oregon City, the oldest permanent American settlement on the Pacific slope; where the first Protestant church on the Pacific coast of either of the Americas still stands; where the first newspaper was published, the first mint established, the first jail erected and the first popular government organ- ized on the western edge of the United States. ‘When San Francisco was platted in 1349 the nearest place where the plat could be filed to give legal effect to it was in the United States court at Oregon City, and the original document is now among the Clackamas County records there. Strangers visiting Oregon City are likely to think the whole town iscrowded be- tween the bluff and the river. But back on the bluff is a large tract with a gentle % N S o K e v AR T o SN £ - g \'Hu\ e s — ) AN et N OREGON CITY WOOLEN MILLS slope toward the Willamette which is cov- ered with residences, and many business houses are also located there. The eastern part of town is somewhat broken. In the southern part is another elevation, reach- ing an altitude of about 350 feet from the river, which isa sightly locality for resi- dences. A view of the river and an inter- esting stretch of country, even to Portland and beyond, is spread out before the gaze of the observer from that point. On the ‘west side of the river the elevation is even greater than the east side, though it is not marked by precipitous cliffs except on the immediate bank of the stream. The out- look from that locality is upon nearly the entire city and the mountain scenery that is 8o beautifully accentuated in the fower- ing peaks of the Cascade Range. A sus- pension bridge 1000 feet long spans the river at a height of nearly a hundred feet above the water. The picturesque beauty of the locality is one of the greatest attractions at Oregon City. The falls are not simply a series of rapids, but the whole mighty volume of the Willamette River plunges down a pre- cipitous cliff of solig basalt, forming a cataract that is truly magnificent in its beauty and power. Below the falls the river flows between vertical walls of solid rock twenty to fifty feet tall, in which that peculiar columnar form which basaltic rock sometimes takes is seen. The two elevated shelves on the east and south and the rising ground on the west quite change the common aspect of cities, and give from every part of the city command of an out- look of charming beauty and grandeur. The banks of the river, both above and below Oregon City, still carry to a consid- erable extent their native forests, though between the city and Portland, which is twelve miles below, there is less timber and more farms and orchards than in the other direction. Each day the sun rises out of the jaeged g:oflle of the Cascade Mountains and sets hind the lower crest of the Coast range. The hoary peaks of the Cascades are plainly visible from Oregon City and are objects of never failing interest. Mount Hood thrusts its perpetual ice fields into the sky fifty miles due east of the city. It is a perilous climb to the summit, but every year numbers of tourists pass the still smoking crater of the grim giant and reach its pelgk, nearly 13,000 feet above the { Over this rim pours the entire | l e AT ERES . AND FLOURING MILLS | The city of Portland is lighted from the fails of the Willamette and many of her street cars and factories are run by power from the same source. The company con- trolling the water power owns 1200 acres of land opposite Oregon City, 8o there is no fear that it will not labor for local in- terest. A town of 5000 inhabitants, the seat of justice of a county larger in extent than the State of Rhode Island and richer in natural resources, with street railway con- nection with Portland and steam railway and boats to furnish unsurpassed trans- portation facilities to all the world, and all the agencies of progressive civilization in active operation here, itis not strange that growth and prosperity continue in the face of conditions that retard business generally. The permanence of this pros- perity is due largely to the magnificent water-power that, notwithstanding the 10,000 horsepower now in use, is but be- ginning to be developed. A comparative statement of the capaci- ties of various well-known water-powers will afford some idea of the relative im- portance of the power at the falls of the Willamette. Here is a statement compiled from official and other reliable data: Seat of water-power. ‘Oregon City, OF...... Minneapolis, Minn Holyoke, Mass. . Manchester, N.

PAPER > PULP MiLLS || ~ AND STEAMBOAT CANAL / Sl TR ——— It was not until several members of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club, under the direction of F. 0. Young, made a number of successful experiments with the nitro that the rank and file of the marksmen dared to use it, but now many are making their best scores with the stuff, and regard it as the most pleasant explosive they can use. A prominent marksman in the East re- marked recently: “‘One of the great draw- backs to the pleasure of target shooting is the dirt, noise and smoke, and I dislike to wind upa day’s sport with my rifles and pistols and feel that I could easily be mis- taken for a chimney sweep.” H. R. Crane, an Enthusiastic Marksman anzd a Member of the Columbia Pistol and Rirle Club. | The new nitro is doing away with these objections, for in its use there is but little | noise, no smoke and no recoil—that bogie man of timid riflemen. Many labor under the idea that firearms in which nitro is used require but little care. This is a seri- | ous mistake, for without the liberal use of | cleaning rags and oil after firing the best | of barrels will rust and become leaded as | quickly as with the black powder. To in- | sure safety trom this the firearm should be | cleaned immediately after using, and again a day or two later. Among the first local riflemen to try | nitro in the heavy musket was Chris Meyer | of Company C. Yesterday he achieved ex- | cellent results with forty-five grains (meas ured) shot under two wads and a 405-grain metal-jacket bullet. The bullet was really lead nickel plated. The wads were used to fill the space. Meyer seated his bullets firmly in the shells, instead of leaving an air space, and the recoil of the musket was hardly perceptible. He used Dupont’s No. 1 rifle powder, and in one string of iwenty-five shots he scored as follows: 564 455565054 44506554544 5 44 4. Total.. Possible, 125. C. F. Waltham also of the Nationals was on the range and scored as follows: The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club’s regular shoot was held as usual and hatfof the members, it was found, had become addicted to the use of the nitro. This powder they use in everything from the 22 target pistol to the high-class target rifle with excellent results. H. R. Crane has recently gone over to the nitro ranks. He has been an expert hunts- man and scored great success in the field. Now he is devoting all of his spare time to target practice. The best scores of the mempers yesterday were as follows: Pistol, Blanding medal, three shots, open to all comers—C. M. Daiss, 8, 12, 12; J. E. Gor- man, 9,10, 11; A. H. Fape, 10, 12,14; F. 0. Young, 11, 18, Revolver, Carr medal, five shots—M. J. ‘White, 87; J. E. Gorman, 35, 40. Twenty-two-caliber rifie, all comers, fifty yards, Rogers medal—Ed Hovey, 8; E. Jacob- son, 8; W. J. Burrows, 34. Rifie, 200 yards, Unired diamond medal—F. 0. Young, 13, 16; H. Burfeind, 15,17, 21; A. H. Pape, 16, 19, 21. Rifle record—A. B. Dorrell, 74; H. R. Crane, 74; F. E. Mason, 78; H. H.

Every stand in the Schuetzen Park rifle range near San Rafael was filled yesterday with sharpshooters, and many were the fine scores made and medals won. One of the events of the day was the contest for the honors of shooting king of the Eintracht Schuetzen Club. The honor and the gold medal fell to the lot of H. Guembel Jr., who made 65 points out of a possible 75. The presentation was made by Captain Kuhls, and the trophy is permanently the property of the winner, as he won it two years ago. The usual bullseye shoot of the Cali- fornia Schuetzen Club drew out nearly all of the members. John Utschig came very close to the center and won the first prize. The scores made were as tollows: John Utschig 68 points, H. Guembel 286, H. Shro-der 240, F. P. Hagerup 811, C. Waller 350, L. Heubold 424, G. F. Robinson 484, A. Utschig 486, A. Jungbluth 501, H.

First class—Mrs. Kelly, 111 rings. Second class— Mrs. Davison, 42 rings. There was a spirited contest for the Schuenemann diamond double-rest medat, which is to be contested for seven times. This time John Utschig was the winner, with 233 points. The second best score was by Otto Baumeister with 229 and the third was D. W. McLaughlin with 227.
