Canby.
The Canby people are justly very
Indignant at the treatment they are re
ceiving at the hands of the S P. R. R.
Co. Friday evening of last week a num
ber of the business men and other citi
zens of Canby stood at the depot to see
the train arriye and depart, and to bid a
friendly "goodbye" to those who were
going away on the evening train, were
surprised and disappointed to see the
train pull right on through as though
Canby was a very insignificant flag sta
tion. Capt. James Evans, on of Canby's
prominent councilmen, who was return
ing home to spend a few days with his
family, while his boat, the steamer.Val
ley Queen, is receiving some repairs at
Portland, was a paeseneer. But the de
pot at Canby, on the Southern Pacific
cross road was not the place for his ac
commodation that night, nor was the
train running that night for the conven
ience of those who would be passengers
from Canby.
The train did stop, however, away
down in the gravel pit, as though the
breaky was booting off some hobo and
Mr. Evans got of! and trudged back
through the darkness to his home on
Main street.
Some of those who wanted to go away
struck off towards the gravel pit to board
the train, but before they could reach
the train it puiled out. Cuss words were
plentiful that night, so was government
ownership talk. Shippers said if they
could not fhip by rail on account of the
train not stopping, the boat would stop
at the landing and a haul of 2 miles
over a good road would be a small mat
ter. But this is not the least grievance
the people of Canby have against the
railroad or the government or somebody.
They don't get their evening mail until
next morning at 8 :17 if the train hap
pens to arrive at that time.
The evening southbound overland car
ries the evening mail to some point up
the road, and the morning north bound
overland brings it back next morning
The Evening Telegram manages to get
off every time. Why shouldn't it? For
don't the voters need it to tell them how
to vote? C,

COMMENTARIES.
Matters Concerning Local Evey
day Affairs Noticed by the
Courier-Herald Reporter.
If there is any town in Oregon that
needs protection, it is Oregon City. Fa
kirs and agents of all degrees, pursue
their avocations here unhampered, and
housekeepers are continually annoyed
by fakir genuises, who swarm here in
unusual numbers from Portland. Mon
day morning a Chinaman from Port
land, was carrying two heavily loaded
baskets, containing collections of sickly
looking melons, grapes and vegetables,
that had evidently been exposed for
sale on the sidewalks in the loathsome
Chinese quarter. The Chinaman was
disposing of his pest-breeding products
to custojiers along the Btreets, who per
haps did not realize that they were pur
chasing the refuse from Portland Chi
nese markets. Oregon City will prob
ably have the smallpox next.
A farmer made complaint du ing the
week, that he brought in a wagon-load of
potatoes, and was only able to dispose
of five bushels. He was compelled to
take the remainder to Portland to dis
pose of his surplus product. This con
dition of things ought not to exist. The
farmer circulated the result of his mar
keting experience to numerous neigh
bors. -The result can be tasily imag
ined. There went up a bitter com
plaint against Oregon City as a mar
keting place. A meeting of the mer
chants or members of the
board of trade should be held to devise
some means of remedying this matter.
Other towns up the valley handle all
the produce that is brought to their
doors. Even Canby and Aurora do this
in a great measure. Oregon City has
so long been accustomed to the trade
of the mill and factory employes, which
is to a great extent, a cash trade, with
out the extra effort required to handle
farm productions, that its merchants
have not made special efforts to secure
country trade, as other towns have.
The result is, much of the trade that
should come here, goes to Portland.
Many times have numerous farmers of
Clackamas county asserted that they
preferred to trade here if the mer
chants would only purchase their prod
ucts. It is understood that there is now
a move on foot to better the market
conditions of Oregon City. This fact,
will be gladly welcomed by the farmers
of Clackamas county, who are notably
loyal to their county seat.
