OREGON CITY, OCT. tl, 1902 A CHANGE. With this issue the editorship of the Courier-Herald passes fromthe undersign ed to John H. Westover, an experienced newspaper man and a democrat from Kentucky. During our eleven years' connection with this paper we have made a few friends and some enemies, but have always tried, to the best of our ability, to treat all in a fair and impartial manner and to make the paper an independent people's paper rather than a political orean. We sh.ill continue to reside in Oregon City, where we have been fortunate enough to secure a humble home. Thanking you, one and all, for your liberal support, I remain, I Yours in the work, A. I. Cheney . Beginning with the firBt day of No vember which is Saturday of this week the Courier-Herald will pass into the hands and control of the Oregon City Courier Publishing Co., of which Co., the writer is the President and his wife and R. Lee Westover together with himself are the only stockholders. J, II. Westover will be the editor-in-chief and the business manager of the paper and control its policy and busi ness. We have pitched our tent amone the good people of Oregon City and Clackamas county with the intention of abiding amongst y u and making "your fortunes our fortunes and your home our home." It isan inviting Gold for journal istic work, and we believe that there is a good field here for a first-class, up to date newspaper devoted to the material in terest of this lovely city and county, and we shall do our utmost to make a paper worthy of the place. For a time we will no doubt be handicapped by a lack of acquaintance with your people and beg of our constituency to bear with us until our acquaintance becomes more extensive and we become more thor oughly in touch with the people and the needs of this field of labor. Oregon City and Clackamas county ought to stand at the head of the pro cession in this Btate onjaccount of their position, size and wealth, and ought to forge more and more to the front as the f years go by. To the material develop ment of both county and state we dedi cate the best efforts ofthispapei under its new management. We bring to this work fifteen years of active newspaper experience and be lieve we can make a newspaper in this county worthy of the field and ask the Bupport of all those who have the inter est of the county aid city at heart as well asll who have been kindly dis posed to the Courler-llorald in the past. The paper in the future will be a Btraight Democratic Bheet devoted loyally to the interest of the Democratic party. We shall seek In all honorable ways to propagate Democratic Doctrines as enun ciated in Democratic platforms and use all honorable means to secure the elec- lion of Democratic tickets. For 'nigh . tweutv vears we have followed the I Democratic flag in"01d Kentucky," have fought tho party's battles and enjoyed its triumphs ami sorrowed in its defeats. The paper will be Democratic, not radi cal, not abusive, but honestly und con servatively Democratic, seeking to build up the party of home government by ar gument and statement of fact, rather than by abuto, vilillcation and the cor rupt practices too oiten resorted to in lmn American politics. This is a labor of lovo aud to it we dedicate all the ability we may possess. The hyphenated mime of Courier Herald will be be dropped, and the pa ger will be known in the future as the Oregon City Courier. The Democrats of Clackamas county have been clamoring for a Democratic paper and have promised It loyal sup port. Now is the time to show "by works" bow etrcngly you want litis kind of a paper. You cau show your appreciation of this new venture by com i,lg into tho ollice, taking the editor by hand and wishing him God speed, and l( not n subscriber by becoming one, and i( in arrears with your subscription by 'ing P "tlie lmck" auJ one ie'ir 'head. 1 new'P"l,er l)ll6'ncssi as Ul many otUlt calUnt!' iu Hfe "U U money that makeslthe mnrrfg " and in I this county we want Jthe Democatu: j mare to go. We take possession of the C iurie' on Saturday morning and from that day on we will be at home to our friends and the public. Come in and see us. All uncollected subscription accounts arc payable to the new managemen'. We notice that more than lull of the list is in arrears. Being a stranger in a strange land we will certainly appreciate as many prompt renewals as von can give us. And now with "malice towards none and nood will for all" we launch this journalistic enterprise, promisii).; to dip our pen in the milk f human kindness and deal as kindly with the faults and follies of met) as possible and in all things be just and to keep the faith. J. II. Wk.stovek. Only about 400 of the 1400 lawyers of San Francisco are iuccessful . The un lucky 100D hang 'in the ragged edge of a ' bare existence. i . If the destructive forest fires will lead : to the appointment as forest wardens of mnnnlainuart anil onriilmiin inalttail nt lellows with a "pull," at least something will have been gained. Wk pride ourselves on our popular education, when, instead, we ought to be ashamed. Nearly 6,000,000 of the nation's children receive practically no education, they must work, or run wild and of the 16,000,00J that do at tend school only 650,000 go as far as the high school. Ignorance of the rising generation is dangerous to the welfare of the republic. Rev. Mr. Miles, a New England di vine of the 17th century, prayed for rain thuswiee: "O Lord, thou knowest we do rot want thee to send ua a rain which shall pour down in fury and swell our streams and carry away our hay coc':s, fences and bridges ; but, Lord, we want it to come drizzle-drazzle, drizzle drazzle, for about a week. Amen." The good dominie must have had a prophetic premonition of the "Oregon mist." Tins statement made by Mr. Knox, United States attorney-general, to the effect that the laws on the federal statute books ire Bufhcient to control the trusts, proves this: President Roose velt's contention that an amendment to the constitution is necessary to control the trusts ia nothing but wind, and the republican party is loath to attack the law-defying combinations of capitalists who have furnished its campaign funds. This attitude of the republican party to ward tlmm is shown by the recent ac tion of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who dumped Borne $20 ,000,000 into Wall Btreet to relieve the gamblers in watered stock. Iiusii.MKN in the Hull (Que.,) district are now paid better want's, than is known to have ever been paid before. Five thousand men hire in Ottawa for the shdntieB, of whom about 1000 are from Hull and district. Wages are as fol lows: Choppers, $20 to $28; cooks, $45; scorers, $;io j liners, $40; hewers, $50 to $00. The present wages of farm labor ers in England are: For six months' work from $00 to $100 for "best men," to $70 and $37.50 for second-class men. "Best women" receive from $63 to $75. Boys and girls receive from $35 to $55, respectively. Wages of ninety per cent of the boot and shoe workers at Sydney, N. S. , average acont $11.25 a week. The balance average from $10 to $12.50 a week. Tiik investigation of a royal commis-J eion disclosed the fact that in one year no less !,lrt. 21.522 Jewish immigrants received substantial aid in London of whom 14,082 were "new" cases most probably Jews driven from their homes by the tyrants of southern Europe. The investigation has had the effect ol irri-i tatirg a good many Jews, and an inter esting sidelight is thrown upon their feelings by a letter from one of them to the commission, saying: "You will par- j don me if I say that we consider our selves far superior to the English peo-l p'e. If the English government have this question seriously at heart, as you would have us believe, why don't they pass a restrictive measure7 They dare not, and they know it. The moment such a meaure was passed English credit would go down. You may rail at us as much as you please, but your gov ernment is dependent upon people of our race for its finances.

B.. thi Celebrated Chicago Specialist, Will Send 14 00 Worth of His New Special Treatment Free to Each of Our Readers. When an experienced physician offevs to give away $40,00;) worth of a New Treatment for disease of tlie heart, nei ves, stomach or dropsy, it is conclu sive evidence that he has great faith in it. And when hundreds of prominent people freely testily to his unusual skill and the super ority of his New Spicial Treatment, his liberality is certainly worthy of serious consideration. That D'. Miles is one of the world's most succesfful physicians is proven by hundreds of testimonials from well known people. One patient cured after failure of eleven Grand Rapids pi ysi cians, two after being given np by six and seven Chicago physicians, another after nine leading doctors in New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago failed. 1000 testimonials Bent upon request. The eminent Rev.W. Bell, D. D ,of Dayton, O., Gen. Sec'y of Foreign Missions, writes editorially in The State Suniluy School Union: " W e desire to state that from personal acquaintance we know Dr. Mi I us to be a most skillful specialist, mau who has sparol neither lahor nor money to kcop himself abie.-ist of the gretit advaiicnient m medical science." The late Prof. J.S. Jewell, M. D., said; "by all means publUh your surprising resultH." Prof. J. P . Boss, M. D., Ki-Pres or Rush Medical College wrote in 1874: "Dr. Miles has taken two courses of my private Instructions In diseases of the heart and lungs." Mr. Tinman DeWoese, editor Chicago rimes-Herald, states: "Dr. Milts cure I me of years of inherited headache aud dizziness." J. tne well-known manuiacturer ot rreeporc, in., J. U. Hcoti, savs: "I had fruitlessly spoilt theusandi of dollars on physicians until I con sulted Dr. Miles." Mrs. Frank Smith, of Chicago writes: Dr Miles cured me yf dropsy after live leading physicians had giveu me up." This new system of special treatment is thoroughly scientific and immensely superior to the ordinary methodp. As nil killictfd renders may hove $4 worth of treatment free, we would ad vise them to send for it at once. Ad drtBB, Dr. Franklin Miles, 203 to 205 State .-treet, Chicago, III.
