It seems that the old adage is going to be verified this seaeon in this part of the country at least, in regard to rain falling for seven Sundays following Eas ter, rbtuld it tain on that day, which it did here last Easter. It has not only I rained on Sunday since, but all during the week. We have also been visited by some hard frosts, forming cakes of ice in some places, which is not very en-' couraging for a bountiful crop of some kinda of fruit, such as peach plums, cherries, early apples and prunes. There will be no peaches here this ea on, in ((.me places the trees are killed also, bnt fruit tiees of other kinds do not Seem to be damaged much. Fay Moody has been heard from since leaving home.

John Weisniaiulol is talking of leaving the country, in a recent interview with one of the anby merchan ts we were told that we had more money in circulation "now than we ever had. On the question of whether it was the people's money, he failed to answer. This puts me iu mind of the darkey and the banker. The banker told the darkey the same thing that the merchant told us, so the dar key asked him where it was. The ban ker said: "In the banks, mostly." So the hanker asked the darkey to plow his garden, but thought it too dry. "Jos as much water now as ober wuz," said the darkey. "Whore?" J'lude ocean, mos'ly. April 25, M. D. A. School Report.

Now, who was right? B. Buckner had a rib broken and otherwise injured by being thrown from the seat of a wagon last Friday. Prob ably another damage suit for the county may follow. We will ask again, would it not be cheaper to go in debt for roads than to pay lawyer fees in defense. If you ask any person who has been over this county during the last winter about the roads, nine times out of ten he will say the Highland and Clarkes road is the worst he ever saw. ' Rov.O. B.

Trade (or Produce. The Man With a Hoc. Editob Couribr-Hkrald: I wish to make a few words of com ment on the critickras of the poem ' The Man With a Hob" made by the Orego nian and E. P. Carter, of Wilhoit. The Oregonian says the world is full of men who can testify that if the man with the hoe wants to rise, helping hands are held out on every side. Now don't all jump up at once, but every farmer in this county to whom the help ing hand has been held out when the mortgage was pressing hard and taxes about to become delinquent please rise up. I want the Oregonian and E. P. Carter to count yon. I want to see the faces of those men with a hoe who have longed for better things, who have seen through the rifts in the clouds a better condition and longed lor these better en vironments to surround themselves with wives and children to whom these help ing hands have been held out. I will count the other fellows. I can count a number of them in our part of ths country, for I have yet to find a man with a hoe, however much he may de sire to have better surroundings, better prices for labor, that he might divide his labor and have a little time for men tal culture, to whom this charitable hand has been held out. Ed, when you have made the count, please announce the result. It just comes to me as an inspiration the kind of a poem the Oregonian likes. It would be on a theme something like "The Banker With His Sheckels." The lines should run something like this: In the counting-room sits the banker Bedecked with diamonds grand ; His greedy eyes are fixed upon his gold, While a bond is in his hand. la comes Mark Hanna, Addresses the banker as of yore, "To down the low-bred working man We need a hundred thousand more." Some way. my inspiration don't work out right for the side of the Oregonian. We'll have to try something els.. This stubborn muse of mine don't always work out right. I'll give it auotber chance : We had a war in Cubi, . With McKinley at the helm ; Said he to his brave generals "We'll the Spanish overwhelm." And when our brave boys were fighting Each under his loved chief The country whose honor they did defend Fed them on rotten beef. There it goe again. My inspiration gets all wrong. Everybody knows it was the man with the hoe, the man from the sweatshops, the man from the underpaid work of the factories of the land who was responsible for that rotten beef. Wasn't it, Ed? It was just some such durned cuss as the man with a hoe that whispered in old Mark Hanna's ear to go to the bauks for boodle to help keep us fellows down to the hoe, wasn't it, Ed? It makes me tired, Ed, to hear a long haired dreamer like that California poet say that the masters, lords and rulers in all lands are responsible for the condi tion of the man with the hu. You and I and the Oreginian know different. don't we, Ed? We know that we and our ancestors have been just where we wanted to be, haven't we, Ed? We just always told the masters, lords and rulers in all lands to have a good time and not be troubled about our condition; we would produce the wealth and they could enjoy it. 'Ve are no spring chick ens; we know when we are in our places. The Oregonian says to nut a eood unit of clothes on our backs and monev in our pockets, wo wouldn't know what to do. That's true, isn't it. E.l? T ,iA., want them to try it on me. What would tho poor woman do who works in the sweatshop all day, then works at home till 10 or 11 at night, and all this for a mere pittance that only serves to keep soul and body together? Time's trage dy has nothing to do with that aching stoop, that throb of piin at every stitch, from which there is no surcease. What would that woman do to dress her and her children neatly, put money in her pocket, give her a chance to iret onti,l of the brick walls and damnable crimes and breathe the free air of heaven? She could see no beauty in the quiet land scape, nor would the song of the birdB send coursing through her any thrill of gladness. She would want to go back to her needle, wouldn't she Ed? Of course she would. The Oregonian says she would, you say she would, and she would. You are a sleek one to write, Ed. I wish I could write like you. You know how to tickle the ears of the governor and give taffy to the Oreconian. You know how to make a pull for vourself. Tell me the secret of it, Ed. Is it the Wilhoit water? If so, please send me a jug. Another thing these long-haired, wild- eyed dreamers tell us is that Christ re buked the masters, lords and rulers in all lands when he said "Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees. hvDocrites. whn devour widows' houses." There must be some mistake, Ed. Couldn't he have meant the fellow who came in to pay tithes and only had a pair of doves to re alize on, or the fellow who came in with only one lamb to pay the priests with? They are the oaes that were doing the Special Notice. We desire to announce Clackamas County that we will remove to the Masonic Building on Main Street next to Oregon City Bank on or about May 1st with a complete Jine of Dry Goods, Clothing, Gents' Furnishings, Boots and Shoes, Hats and' Caps, Trunks, Valises, Etc. PRICE BROS. mischief. They had been into some fel low's dove cot and sheep pasture. Those are certainly the lads that were meant. You and I and the Oregonian know that the bankers, politicians and law makers sit up nights and worry themselves gray headed in devising schemes that will make our burdens lighter. It couldn't have been such fellows as these I ha"e named , could it, Ed ? The next thing we know some long haired, wild-eyed dreamer will write a poem and call it ''The Woman With a .Needle" aud will undertatte to say that Time's tragedy is in the aching stoop of her back, her stiff fingers that ache with ceaseless toil and yet work on and on. This is hurtful, isn't it, Ed? Why wake her up to the horror of her condi tion, when we know it is hopeless f Wrong, isn't it, Ed? In conclusion, I want to say that if anybody writes anything as disturbing as "The Man With a Hoe" I shall wish he may be punished from everlasting to everlasting, shan't you, Ed?
