another very good mow. The com

vision of the city into three wards and
to consult with the property owners of

taking those sections into the corporate
limit. The citins of Oregon City can

members were in favor of making the

CHALLENGE THEM!
Gov. Leedy, because he called an
extra session of the Kansas legislature,
has displeased a number of old party
papers. They say that populistic legis
lation has been repudiated by the people
of Kansas, and that the populists should
not assume to legislate at the last
movement.
" However, those old party papers must
admit that the Kansas legislature, even
though it be populist, can be called in
extra session by the governor. Many
people in Kansas believe that certain
legislalion for the protection of the peo
ple against the rapacity of the -corporations
should be placed on the statute
books, and Governor Leeds believes an
emergency exists for such legislation.
Notwithstanding the evident chagrin of
old party men, the populists can enact
legislation lor the protection of the
people and incidentally regain their po
litical ascendancy.
LET THE REPUBLICANS REPEAL
THE LEGISLATION OF THE POPU
LISTS, IF THEY DARE. The repub
licans will have the power in the next
legislature to repeal all laws passed at
this extra session of the Kansas legisla
ture. Why do republicans shrink from
repealing populistic legislation? Some
of this legislation may find favor among
the people, and the, republicans can
take issue with the people.
POPULISTS OF KANSAS, GO
AHEAD WITH YOUR EXTRA SES

LAWS FOR THE PROTECTION OF
THE PEOPLE. AND CHALLENGE

The Canby Independent asks the"
Courier Herald to tell him why this
country find a good crop under the gold
standard.. If a ten-year-old school boy
would ask Such a question there would
be an excuse, but when a man with the
intelligence of Mr. Gill does, there must
be something wrong under his hat.
Courier-Herald.
Never prevert a statement made by a
contemporary. We spoke of marketa
ble values of the 1898 and 1897 crops of
corn ami oats, which were Bmaller in
yield but worth S3,000,000 more than
in 1897. But we are a young school
hoy, and in the innocence of childhood,
we' would like to ask Mr. Cheney if the
Courier-Herald is a populist or a demo
cratic paper. Independent.-
The above statement, Bro. Gill, is
enough to convince the average person
that you do not know what you are
talking, about. In regard to the politi
cal complexion of this paper we would
ruler jou ta your own statements made
during the oampaign, when you ad
mit. ed it st.od for reform but called it
"Jemo-pop The paper speaks for
itse'f. We would like to ask Mr. Gill"
what's the politic il complexion of his
paper, whether it Is a Brownell repub
lican or a grafting republican sheet?
From reading its c .lums one would
think it was both.

The parties, who established the steel
head salmon hatchery on Salmon river,
probably builded greater than they im
agined, and Messrs. Brown and Brouah
ton will probably become great bene
factors to the fishing industry 'of the
Pacific northwest. It was stated last
week that steelheads had touched the
highest price ever known In the history
of the fish business. They were quoted
down the Columbia at 7 1-2 cents per
pound, with a prosoect of eight cents
being paid bofore the new year. This
means that steelheads will be in great
demand in the future In fact, thy are
becoming a valuable species of salmon,
and will be in great demand.
The Seventh street stairway h in
darkness now since the electric light
was moved over on the singer Hill
road. This may suit the hoboes who
congregate around the foot of the stair
way and the water tank, but it don't
suit the hundreds of people who walk
up and down these steps after nightfall.
Its a whole lot of fun to see the night
pedestrians cautiously put their feet
forward to find a foothold. The other
morning a man who was in a hurrv to
reach his work at the mills, slioped and
fe'l over thre9 factory girls who were on
their way to work, scattering their lunch
baskets in three different directions.
The reporter came down the other
morning very early 'ong before the
electric lights' went out to eive the. sun
a chance to rKe. At the head of the
stairway the reporter was overtaken bv
one of the most substantial business
men on Main street, who always
rea'-hes his store bv 7 o'clock.. The
business man slipped several timos
felt his wav, and said such nice things
about the councilmen who voted to hive
the light removed (To be continued.)

hut some one rushes inn print with a
"card of thanks." Nothing is more b
