a matter that should interest the peo
ple of this county is the movement set
on foot at the recent session of Pomona
Grange for the organization of a county
.;. anei jtion. It is the opinion of the
farmers and of many business men that
the best interests of the county would
be materially advanced by such an or
aniaation. A committee has been ap-
iA and will shortly beein work
1odk this line, the first requisite being
pledges of money for stock in such asso.

at the Pomona seemed to favor a spot

The resolution had practically an

and when they once become convinced

Mr. 0. A. Kappell, of Rainier, has
written the following letter to the Ore
goniao :
RAINIER, Or., May 6 To the Edi
tor) I, as an American citizen and one
of the unfortunate saloon keepers at
Rainier, read in the Oregonian of the
assault on Mr. Fischer. I wish to slate
to the public that I baye had my share

say from the bottom of my heart that
not a member of the Liquor Dealers
Association would lower themselves to
such a degree. Hoping the law will
deal justly and punish the guilty one, 1
am, 0. A. KAFELL.
It sounds good, and we are willing to
believe that Mr. Kapell bad no know
ledge of the assault; but we do not re

saloon men took any active part in se

Rainier are "unfortunate" only because
they have set themselves in open defi
ance of the law and have threatened
those who opposed them. At least one
saloon keeper in Rainier made threats
in 1st. Helens and Houlton as to what
would happen to those who opposed
them. It is ridiculous to assume that
tbelbug acted on bis own initiative.
He cared no more for Mr. Fischer than
for any other human being, and w ould
as soon commit murder as to do any
other criminal job. He was hired by
some one and it is only reasonable to
auppore that the person putting up the
money wa in the liquor business. The

At the recent session of the county
eoort the bill of the Portland Journal
for advertisinc for bid for the new
court house came op for consideration,
and the commissioners eakl Mr. Hen
derson why he gave the work to that
paper. The county clera very prompt
ly answered, You left it to me, and I
am a democrat, so I pot the advertise
ment ia a democratic paper." The
Mirr commends Mr. Henderson's an
awer. He is not a mugwump nor a no-
party man, but an old-fashioned demo
crat, and every bit ol work ne controls
goes to support democratic papers. He
haa riven many hundreds of dollars'
worth of the public printing of this re
publican county to the Democratic Reg
ister, including the semi-annual nnao
cial statement, the printing ol tbe pal
lots, and all other job printing neces
sary in conducting the busiuess of the
clerk's office.
We hope the Republicans of this
county will remember these facts when
Democrats tell them there ia no politics
in the office of county clerk, and all we
need ia a good and competent man. As
an officer, so far as his clerical duties are
concerned, there is no fault to find with
Mr. Henderson, and as a man and neigh
bor he is distinctly alright. But if you
vote for him do so with the full koowl-
Icm that hia election means that every
scrap of patronage he controls will be
given to the support ol a paper wnose
