COIXMWA. COUNTY AT TI1K
STATU FAIR.
To those who have faith in the resonr-
ces of this county and who desire to see
home-3eeker attracted here, the promt-
nence achieved ly our county at the re-
. i.-.! . i. tiniIv
... T ... , .. f:.i
g.nt.i. ..... r r -
civon to Messrs. K rake, ami
west, wno
for m my vears have upheld our reputa
tio as a dairy stock county, in coropeti
not only with tha other counties of
Oregon, bat with the lVicifio Coast, and.
at tin. i and Claik Fair, with the
Bo th
best herds of the Unite ! States.
of these Columbia County breeders did
well at the State Fair, and Mr. Frakes
distanced all competitors in Holsteins,
though in order to w in the
I ..II... ......
he was compelled to beat Mr. West's
Jersey?, so that Columbia County wins
both trst and second in butter test. We
are sorry, however, that the Moneyinan
herd of Guernseys was not represented,
as they are a very excellent breed, es
pecially for those who desire what may
called an all purpose cow. To achieve a
reputation as a tirst class dairy county
is worth a good deal in this country, and
Messrs. Frakes and West have certainly
put us in the front rank in this respect
and are entitled to great credit for so
doing. It may also be said in their
favor that they had no royal road
success
. , . . l'
was uot a matter of finding
out who had the best animal in the
,i. .wi . u
i , .u i- i
iha nm-' lint thir snivMa hmm lyMin
. , j-,- .
achieved by bard work and diligent
study.
As to the county exhibit in the pnvil
lion, under the management of the edit
or of this paper, the best that can be
said for it is that it was good in some
lines and insufficient nd incomplete in
others. It was a success in advertising
some of the county's resources, but in
many ways it was incomplete and in
sufficient, and altogether unable to com
pete with the magnificent showing
made by the great valley counties
Marion, Linn and Lane, or the southern
Oregon counties, Jackson, Benton, and
Douglas. In our opinion, however,
Columbia County can successfully com.
pete with any of tnese counties, provided
the work is begun at the right time and
a leasonable sum is appropriated by the
county court. The time to begin the
work is at the January term of court,
and f500 should be appropriated. It is
now generally agreed that it pays to ad
vertise a county's resources. The towns
of Ashland and Med ford both maintain
permanent exhibits, and Ashland pays
a t-alary to a competent woman to have
charge of its exhibit and explain mat
ters w intending purchasers, there is i
no conntv in the State of Oregon that
needs advertising more than does Col
umbia County. Three logging camps in
this county are able to cut nearly 300,
000 feet each per day and there are a
number of other large camps. Even at
the present rata of cutting good timber
wsll be scarce upon the Columbia slope
w it'lin a few years, and instead we will
have a vast area of stump land, the cash
value ot which will have been reduced
from over $100 per acre to 5 per acre.
Hie problem is to restore the value to
this '.and, and the only way that can be
done is to induce men to make homes
upon it. To accomplish this we must
convince them that after the timber is
taken eff good crops of fruit, grain,
grasses and vegetables can be railed,
and advertising is the only way this can '
be done. The best and most effective j
advertisirg is a demonstration of what!
the soil pro luces. At the State Fair j
Columbia County's apples, grown by J
Mr. Holladay, of Scappoose, took first
premium, and there were very many
expiessions of surprise at the showing
made along this line. The apples exhi
bited came from every section of tne
county, the Nehaloui Valley sending out
an especially credituble display, aud
Biich judges as K. L. Smith, of Hood
' River, the leading apple grower of the
State, expressed his surprise at their ex
cellence and we understand he is ne
gotiating (or hind for orchard purposes
in the neighborhood of Scappoose. The
acquisition of such a man as Mr. Smith
will be worth to the county many times
the small sum appropriated, as the mere
fact of his coining here w ill add value to
tlii laud in the neighborhood where he
decides to lec ite
All the newspipera made very flatter
i ig references to our exhibit, expressing
a irprise nt the quality of our fruits. The
Orcwninn said iii part:
"The Columbia County exhibit is j
small but is of remarkably good quality j
ana win ue nu eye-opener to people who
have teamed their knowledge of Colum
bia County through reports of entv mill
business und exhibits of Harry West's
JcrafVF."
If this much has been done w e think
, it will do very well for a starter and thut
the progressive, intelligent citizens of
this county, win ill we believe to be
largely in the majority, will see Hint the
good work is continued, in order that
the value of property may lie increased,
roads constructed, schools maintained,
and the comfort ami blessings of pros
perity eateuded to every part of the
oanty. j

j THK CI.KRK AND T1IK
COURT
The County V lerk
and the County
Court do not eree anon matters that
are of vital interest to Columbia County
' and. as it Is a matter of general interest
i to the taxpayers and the need for a set
tlement is becoming very urgent, it is
; time the people had some inform.-
; in regard thereto. The county court
! refuses to allow the county clerk any
help in his office other thau the one
salaried deputy provided by law, and in
so doing they are sustained by the writ
, UllllHUII
of the district Attorney
JLnisis I lit ir siue oi ins cost:, mc
County Clerk truthfully represents that
it is absolutely impossible for any two
men to do the work of the office, and
that, unless he is given extra help, there
will be no tax roll for the aheritt to col
lect taxes ou. He is sware that he has
given a bond for the faithful discharge
of the duties of his office and also taken
an oath to that effect, but he claims that
the law does not ask anyone to perform
an impossibility and that if he and his
deputy labor faithfully eight hours each
dav they hare done all anyone has

an enormoos extent, aud, as it is con-
i stantlv increasing and w ill continue to
o
increase, the emergency will be greater

right in saying that those who present
their deeds, mortgages and other instrn"
mentsof record are entitled lo have
them recoided without unnecessary de
lay. It is also true that if extra help
had been provided when the assessment
list was being made a great deal of ex
pense rould have been saved, as it will
take tw o men now to do the work one
could have done at that time. Very few
have any idea of the immense increase
in the volume of work in the office of tb
county clerk. Daring the entire year
1903 there were 1242 instruments record
ed while up to the piesentdate this year
there have been l.'J&i offered for record
and there are three months and nearly
a half yet to come. This is fee business
and the fees alt go to the county, and
constitute a coLsiderable revenue in ex
cess of the expense of the office. It
aeems to us that the clerk has justice
upon Ins side, and that the county
court would be sustained in granting
extra help in his office, notwithstanding
the opinion of the district attorney. As
there is an adjourned session of the
county court this week it is probable
that the matter will he brought to an
issue, and w e hope business sense will
prevail over technicalities. i

THE RAINIER ROBBERY
Cashier Yan Anker Believed to
Be tbe Guilty Man.
Suspicion for the Rainier Ixmk robbery
has at last settled upon C. S. Van Aukcr.
the trusted cashier, of that institution.
The Oregonian of yesterday devotes con
siderable space to an account of the af
fair, but the gist of the matter is that
Van Auker was taken to Portland last
Wednesday by Sheriff White, where he
was subjtcted to what U known as the
"sweating" process, under which he con- j
fesscd that he had lost large sums in
gambling, but as yet denies the robbery,
The investigation was conducted by the
National Surety Company, whose Uuid
for $10,000 is responsible for anv shortage
caused bv the cashier's dishonesty, and
the Oregonian states that Vati Aukcr j
will not be prosecuted if he makes good ;
the amount due, which is in the neigh- j
borhood of t ,00.
There is, however, litile doubt of his !
guilt, and that the robbery was a fake, ;
devised to conceal the shortage which he j
knew must be discovered as soon as an j
examination of his cash w as made by
President Lewis, of the State Ban.
It is thought Van Auker was alone in
the robbery, and that when help came
he bucked up to the window he had
broken and the person who cut tbe ropes
around his wrists did not stop to make
n anc.., ii.t,.,, ua ta',l,l,..P lt. v
whether thv
were really lied excent in the loose man-
ner that Van Aukr could have tictl tbcm
with hit teeth.
The bank cannot tw blamed (or placing
confidence in bim, as he came to them;
with a ifool record from bitr finatu-ial
institutions in the city oi Portland, and'
the comtwny wfio furniithed his bond bad
no doubt of his honesty.
