PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY. OREGON CITY, FEB. 7, 1902. During the recent labor i troubles in San Francisco the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company of this city was per mitted to handle all its freight without molestation. The company had a special permit issued because it had always been fair to organized labor. Priycr Henry, of Germany, the kai ser's brother, is democratic enough to receive a hearty and jovial welcome when he visits our shores nest month. Being as "Englishy" in his manner and speech as any cosmopolitan Britisher, he cannot fail to feel thoroughly at home in the United States. A contract is to be let for a concrete pier at the west n ! f the new bridge cross the Molalln. Ye Gods 1 But the commissioneri of Clackamas are brainy men. Pi:csilly Bome Oregon City pet will get the contract at a low () figure. Oanby Correspondent of Aurora Bore-alis. Tub Piosyerity, of which we haye heard so much lately, has one very ieri ous charge to answer. That is the in crease in the employment of child labor, in some states as Jgreat as 39 per cent. When we think of all that this statement implies it is hardly leas than a horror, and proHperity built on such a founda tion carries the seeds of its own destruc tion. A lie never escapes detection. Probably Mr.Shaw owes his elevation to the position of secretary of the treas ury to his popularity among the canaille, to which he pandered during his two years as governor ot Iowa by releasing nenrly 500 of that class of republican voters from the penitentiary. The ex governor evidently has about as much respect for law and justice as a Robes pierre or a Marat. , Til k inter-st ite commerce commiBsion admits that the railroads which tap the centers of trade of the East and the great packers have in collusion broken the laws, in order to accumulate vast profits, with the impunity of the veriest high waymen. Have ' patience: they are manufacturing criminals, anarchist. The seed of wickedness which they sow will produce a harvest. The more is the pity. "Within the last fifty years," said Or; 15. H Hoyt, former member of the De troit school board, "the number of in sane people and fooli has increased 300 per cent, according to statistics, Three hundred per cent 1 Do you know what thai means? It means that if the pres ent alarming rale of increase continues, the entire population of this country within 200 years will have gone insane or become foolish, and that what we call Civilization is far from being what e pretend it is. Clackamas, according to the Oregon City Courier-Herald, is over $200,000 in debt. This is a good campaign cry, but it comes contemporaneously with the arrival of hundreds of homeseekers, who wiM undoubtedly keep on until they cross the line into Marion, a county out of debt. Our neighboring county has been cursed with too much politics. Aurora Horealis. You are right, Hro. Gill. We have more politics than business seiiBe in our county, and until wo elect a county ticket based on economy we are continu ally getting in a worse fix. Our inter est account alone amount to 2," per cent of the tot l expenses of Marion county. Our tax levyjis only 4 'J cents on the dollar Hmt by another venr or two we expect to increase it to 5 or (i cents. Clackamas county will bo bur dened for two years more with the pres ent county board unless it is legislated out o! cilice by the next legislature. Every candidate on the county ticket at the coming election should be pledged to a reduction in the expenses of t'.if of tloe he seeks. "By th " ' ' PROTECTING ITS BENEFACTOR. The Enterprise will no doubt under take to prove that the county debt of Clackamas county is but $140,000 or $150,000. Of course it will claim that the taxes due should be deducted from the county debt. It is true that when the tax is collected the debt will be some less but as soon as taxes are all in the debt will be as much as ever, if not more. It is no use to garole figures to shield the county authorities. The Courier-Herald is as ashamed of the debt as anyone but sees no object in cover ing up the facts for political purposes. The Enterprise goes on and says: There is considerable comment on the tax levy of this county. It is high, higher than any one wishes it was, but the question is how to cut it down About one-fourth of the levy is the road tax and at eight mills it is not enough to satisfy the demands made on the board for help on the roads. The good work done on the roads Is apparent to the farmers and instead of wanMngless they want more money for the roads. Many counties in the state have made a levy of only one or two milk. Don't know how to cut it down I It the Enterprise had its way it would make it still larger by getting a greater pull at the public teat. If the voters are satisfied to pay the high tax rate to spend on roads the writer has nothing to say, but he don't believe the voters want t' h county to run behind to do so. The writer is not opposed to building roads h nd bridges and because he men tioned the Oanby bridge last week is no reason he does not think the bridge is a good and needed improvement. What he wanted to impress on the people was the fact that the county money was spent to pay politician debts. We haye a good county and if the taxes were less we would get many a new resident that now goes to adjoining counties. THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The signs are multiplying all around the political horizon that indicate a coining democratic revival, a renewal of democratic faith, confidence and union of eirort to convert a great majority of the people to sound principles and juit government. The gouging and crowding by some of the brethren in congress is insignifi cant. They scent the coming victory and are already eager to get front places in the procession. They are anxious to be where they can holler first: "I told you so!' They are furnishing signs of promise rather than of serious discords. That there is a sanity in their seeming contusion is evidenced by their refusal to forecast issues and assume to predi cate a national platform for the party in advance of the convention of 19l'4. The republican party's predicament is not a happy one. They have a presi dent on their hands. They have never before had one who was so determined to spell liis title with capital letters. He is himself the x in their political equa tionthe unknown quantity whose value as a party-keeper and leader is yet to be worked out. They are not in beautiful agreement upon pending and urgent policies, They have inherited the re ciprocity proposition, which their lead era wish to strangle, and have had thrust upon them a Cuban question which they had hoped to avoid. The Philippine policy is a two-edged sword which they are compelled to handle with the greatest care. And there are other matters, such as the isthmian ca mil. the surplus, the war taxes and the ship subsidy bill, that are powerfully perplexing to men who have to face the people this coming fall. The democrats, however, have every reason to be hopeful. They have no more to do at present than to watch every move by their opponents, hang on the!. Hanks, expose, their errors, their inva sions of the constitution, their evasions of the fundamental principles of free government, their extravagances with the people's money and their subsorvi I once to capital and Incorporations, trusts and monopolies. Then dropping out of I the programme all dead issues and past differences, they can come together on principles that nodenocratcan gainsay, that the common faith of the country can accept without serious argument and that a majority of patriotic Ameri cans will support in ordtr that "a gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth "Atlanta Constitution. POLITICAL NOTES. This paper has just received a letter from a prominent democrat of southern part of the county, saying, "Let us have a straight democratic ticket; not throw away principle for one or two offices. I wish you success in showing up that county court ; you are on the right road." The Courier-Herald would be pleased to give every voter of Clackamas county who believes in reform an opportunity to express himself on the subject. Hon. George C. Chamberlain, of Port land, will no doubv be nominated for governor on the democratic ticket and will give Governor Geer a good run for his money, and it wouldn't surprise us a bit if he beat him, too. A meeting of the democratic state cen tral committee was held in Portlamd last week and the consensus of opinion was that a straight democratic ticket ba put up in the state. The chances for Deputy Sheriff Jack to be the next assessor of Clackamas county are first-class He prefers that olfice to that of sheriff, and he can do more good there also for the taxpayers. Dr. J W. Powell, of Oregon City, is spoken of in connection with the oppo sition legislative ticket. He would be a good man for th place. It seems to be hard for democratic and reform papers to live. In our neighboring county, Marion, the Inde pendent of Salem, has turned republican. The Journal of Salem, which supported Bryan and silver, has been back into the fold for some time. This leaves Salem without a reform or democratic sheet. The Socialsts will hold a state conven tion in Portland March 19. The con gressional district convention will be held the following day at Oregon City. dyce dm .. 102 R J Butel to E E Parker, lot 3, Bu- tel tracts 300 T E Brown to A F Schmale, 18 as in sec 18, 2, 3 e 550 W H English to J Harberther, 30 as in sec 9, 2, 3 e ..... 1400 D E Jones to R O Jones, se of ne of sec 24, 3, 2 e, sw of ne and i of nw of sec 19, 3, 3 e 3100 G B Wise to F L Knight, 315 as in Eagon elm, 2, 2 e 1 R Gale to A Gill, 26 as in set; 25,2 e 750 S Berni to J A 'Swanson, ne of ne of sec 7, 2, 3 e 100 L L Hein to I B Hein,laj in Chase elm, 5, 1 w 20 Wm E Weed to Carlton & Rose- crans, 144 as in Lee elm, 3, 1 e. . 1000 0 Wittenberg to M Burgoyne, 40 as in Alfey elm, 3, 1 e ' 1 A Imel to J Imel,4 as in Fisher elm, 2, 2 e 350 F Cramer to A M Draoer. lot 7 and 8, blk 18, Bolton.... 750 J Bittner to R Koerner, part lot 6, blk 157, Oregon City 250 Sell wood Land & Impt Co to J A Olds, tract 38, Oak Grove ... 500 D W Reynolds to O E Reynolds, 57.83 as in sec 33, 2, 2 e 1 J A Talbert to S J Garrison, lot blk 15,Talbert's Add 1 F L Stevens to 8 Benson, ne of sec 18,2, 7 e 2500 Wm McDonald to Wm Gardner, 16 as sec 13, 3, 1 e 5 J W Marrs to W H Kandle, lots 1, 2, 3 and sw of sw of sec 5, and se of se of sec 6, and lots 1 and 2 of sec 8. 4, 4 e 2000 S Kocker to C Kocker,15 as in Fish elm 300 T Macguire to A Hossack, n of ne, nl2 of nw of sec 22, 4, 5 e. . 5 J Nelson to M Hirtcbet, 25 as in sec 31, 5,1 e 900 H Olsen to F Greco, 10 as, sec 2, 2e 6775 T Buck man to I Buckman, s2 of ns of see 31, 4 e 1 M Oarothers to J W Marrs, 84 of se of sec 15, 4, 4 e 750 H A Lee to E C Shull, lot 3, blk 2, Lee's Add, Canbv 50 I Jacob et alto PC' &0 RR Co, right of way through Milwaiikie Heiehts 125 J W Antrim to F 8 Morris, bY2 of se of sec 2, 4, 4 e ... 200 0 & O R Co to F S Morris, of el-2 of sec 33, 3, 4 e 484 Sellwood Land & Impvt Co, to M A T Van Buskiik blk 92.
