Hard Luck and Small Fortunes in Early Portland
A Portland reminiscence piece recounts a mercy loan by City Attorney Greene to a sick wife, framing a wider view of local characters like Oregie, Lafe Caples, and political currents. Tales of 1849 settlers, harsh winters, and sand for the Multnomah county courthouse sit alongside political jibes about a looming no Republican ticket and Heney.

O R & N Extension Plans Move Forward
Plans for extending the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company line from the woolen mills south to the peninsula have been accepted and construction is to start soon.

The route is seen as a potential boon for St Johns with significant local investment, while insurance ads urge readers to protect buildings with insurances offered by Peninsula Bank.
