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

i( in arrears with your subscription by

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.

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

not, and they know it. The moment
such a meaure was passed English

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
