PITIONUE HOME INDUSTRY.
OREGON CITY, DEO. 3, 1897.
It is rumored that the Press of Ore
gon City and the Independent of Oanby
will consolidate. They probably want
to die together.
Tub Onnby Independent say the
OoiTRiKRdid not pnblbsh the grand jury
report and asks why. We didn't know
that the I'anby liquor caused blindness
before.
It has been suggested that some new
man without political blemish should
be nominated bv the democrats for
secreiarv of state or state treasurer at
next election.
J. D. Stevens of Canby "the leading
populist orator of the county," is now
writing articles for the Canby republican
campaign sheet because he couldn't run
the Herald of this city. You are to be
congratulated, Mr. Fitch.
Thb report has been circulated that
the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Co. had failed. It is a mistake and for
the benefit of the policy holders of that
company in this city would state that it
wa- the Massachusetts Benefit Life As
sociation that failed.
It is ridiculous to even suppose that
either the democratic or populist parties
can defeat the republicans in Oretton.
Unless a compact union is effected by
the friends of free silver and reform, it
will be the same old story domination
of the money oligarchy and corporations,
which mean nnsgovernment and op.
preBsion of the musses.
It seems that some of the county
officials are neglecting thnirduty. The
suspension bridge needs painting and
4 the road up the west Hide hill has two
small streams running down therecently
rrulil rimriwav. which will hive to be
R '
refilled, Just because a few moments
labor at the proper time was not ex-
;tu.ni1.l in tnrnina the water into the
' prepared ditch.
Okkoon City the past week supported
two gentlemen of leisure for several
davs bv (living financial assist 'nee to a
fake advertising scheme. It has been
but a few weeks since the business men
wer bitten by a fake ink-directory ad
vertimng fake. hen will the people
cease to patronize miuli and buy
legitimate ndverticing in Oregon City's
five papers enough to satisfy the dif
ferent of nil.
Tim ciiiw'idatcH for the several city
ollieers to be filled on Monday are nil
good clean men and are well known
hero ami a glum'u at the ticket on
election day should suffice. The race
will be a close one and the suwi'ssful
candidates will not have a walkaway,
ulthough th tic'u't headed by Dr. Powell
seems to have the bestof it. Under the
present conditions we think the inde
pendent ticket is the one for the tax
payers to support
Tiik state hoard ol equalization con
vened at Fulfill on the 1st of December
ami remains in wtmioti 30 days. The
members of the lamrd are as follows:
First district, A. O. Auldon, Lakeview ;
second district, Robert Walker, B.tndon ;
third district, Squire Farrar, S;tlem ;
fourth district, D P. Thompson, Port
land ; fifth district, U. AYingato. Astoria ;
sixth district, O. A.Johnson, lleppiu-rj
Htwenth district, W. U. Wills, Hay
Creek eighth district, O. P. (ioodall,
Vnion; ninth district, I 11. Holland.
Tiik large number of tramps that
infest Oregon City should lie made to
labor as they do in Tacoma, where it
costs the city just 3(1 cems a day per
man to get a large amount of its rough
work, such as street-cleaning and wood
cutting, done. That is, the city bus
contracted for the feeding of all city
prisoners for VI cents per meal, and
every hobo that is vagged has to do an
honest day's work, otherwise he gets
only two meals a day. The chain gang
consists of from six to twenty hobos,
and the amount of work they have ac
complished is wonderful, the chief of
police estimating that they do fully half
as much as paid laborers. So the city
is the gainer by the policy it is pursuing
of ridding the city cf the undesirable
element. ,
COXGRESSt
When congress meets in session on
Monday the prospect is for a goner alas-
sault all ulo:;g the line of the national
sentiment and policy which Cuar Reed
suppressed by his despotic rulings dur
ing the extra session. .Many vital issues
must come up for consideration and
action, among which will I as our duty to
the Cuban republic, the Nicaragua
canal,, the annexation of Hawaii, the
question of the British boundary in
Alaska, and the Behring sea seal
fisheries. These are all international
matters. In addition to them there
will be the frictional topics of internal
economy. For instance the conduct of
the administration in completing the
deal made by the Cleveland gang with
the Union Pacific "reorganization com
mittee" will be something for earnest
discussion and investigation, and the
conspiracy finally to wreck the money
of the constitution, which Carlisle in
augurated and his very fit and ap
propriate mugwump successor, Gage, is
attempting to carry into execution.
From the present indications the great
battles of the coming session will be
fought on international lines, and except
in one instance between the American
people and the individuals and syndicat
ed robber trust interests which were
counted in over the will of the majority
as expressed in the ballot box, to rule
them. It will be a session full of inter
est to every true American patriot.
Receiver ualioway's report of the land
ollico Lu.-iinesa for .November shows that
10 homestead entries were made and 43
final homestead proofs; that $13.25 was
received from cash sales and $001 .11 in
fees and commissions.
