OREGON CITY, JAN. .1, 18!)0.
Women of the Uniteil Sutes during
tbe pHt decade have pmit 100.000,000
for foreign title which were attached to
Inferior tuoii.
Tub Oregon Road Club of Portland
lias recontly set up a new steel-plate
bowling alley. The club was organized
for the improvement of roads and not
for indoor enjoyment, but roads are a
secondary consideration now.
The failure of Congressman Hermann
to get the chairmanship of the river and
harbor committee, we opine, will prove
a political blow to that gentleman. It
is altogether likely that he w!ll be suc
ceeded by Hon. George C. Crownell .
Oswego Iron Worker.

Any one knocking about in the back
streets of Portland cannot refrain from
observing how Brent is the number of
tenantless dwelling houses, stores and
shops. Their aggregate is many linn
dreds. The large sum of money in
vetted in them is inert and the buildings
decay. Costly hotels that once did
land office business, now barely Day ex
pensei and huge brirknand stone struct
urei that promiieri to make tbeir own
era rich, have left thera bankrupt. Thus
tbe world wags.
Despite tlrto hard time littring 1895
the Coukikk enjoyed a prosperous year
in every way. It paid living wages, set
tled all Its bills in cash, defaulting in no
payment whatever, and it grew in bus-
' inesa, in circulation and in size and i
starts the New Year with bright pros
pects. We wieh to renew the dedication
of the paper with its Improved plant
and resources to the service and best
interests of the Oregon City and Clack
amaa county public, promising to give
to our patrons the very best paper that
can be printed and supported by the
business offered and to be secured by
hard, persistent and paintaking work on
the Dart of every person of our force.
Russia knows more of the civil con
vulsions that have sent multitudes of
Armenians to bloody graves than his
tory will evor divulge. It is a settled
policy with the Muscovite government
to scatter secretly agents through the
Turk'inh provinces which it covets, who
bribe indiHcriniinntolv either Christian,
peasant or merchant, or Turkish offic
ials of any degree, with the object of
fomenting anarchy. The situation is
now so grave that England is in a stew
and the Sublime Forte does not know
which leg he is standing on. Russia is
using the Turk to twist the British lions
tail but this lordly beast cannot retali
ate by kicking the hear in the ribs.
Russia, nnde'-hmded warfare has been
ond is more effective and profitable than
onnn warfare and costs but a trifle in
comparison.

Vitam iinpendere two. With this
quotation a Portland cotemporary ends
a "puff" of Joe Simon, the republican
boss. Whether either Joe or Boss
Buckley (San Francisco's "blind devil")
would the more readily "risk his lite for
the truth" is an open question, but it is
not a matter of doubt among those who
have followed the course of events in
Portland and in our legislature that the
most corrupt in Oregon is Joe Simon.
Were he to throw his inflences on the
side of worality and municipal reform,
the gamblers and prostitutes of Portland
would feel the heavy hand of the law,
and the taxpayers would not be un
mercifully bled by the taxeaters. Yet
it is this same "Hon. Joseph Simon,"
who is in politics for what there is in it,
regardless of political principle unless it
can serve his purpose, whom the re
publican leaders uengrii w norror.
