OREGON OITY. JAN. 23, 1903. UNIONI&yTLABEL Judge Parker could carry New York, while Roosevelt could not. Senator burrows' favorite quota nation from the poets is, "Oh, for a Lodge in some vast wilderness. The situation in the legislature of Deleware, Kansas, Colorado and New York are comprehensive illus trations of republican harmony. The President didn't get any bears on his southern trip, but he has a few southern coons on hand that he would be glad to get rid of, If the Senators were elected by the people they would not dare to pursue their present dilatory tac tics in the hope of preventing anti trust legislation. A repub'ican majority . in the House will now pass an anti-trust measure with the full confidence that it will be lost in the mazes of senatorial procedure. The President may have satis fied his desire to interfere in every body's business but he has not strengthened his position by at attempting to dictate to the Utah legislature. The next national republican convention will be composed of 447 delegates, of which number 173 will come from the south and will cheerfully obey the mandate of Senator Hanna. President Roosevelt's rapid loss of strength in his own state indi cates that the next Democratic can didate will come from that section and that the selection will probably fall on Judge Alton B. Parker. Two of the New York great dail ies which have heretofore beenloy al to the President have turned up on him. One isbjtter in its ridi cule of his anti-trust policy, while the other is condemning his south ern policy. The republican senators' headed by Beveridge, of Indiana, have worked like beavers to construct of the State-hood bill, a dam which would obstruct all anti-trust legis lation and it looks as if they would be successful. After the brilliant example set by thr late Senator from Michigan, by Senator Hanna and numerous senatorial republicans, Mr. Add kks cannot be made to understand that it is not exactly becoming to insist on buying a seat in the Unit ed States Senate. Senator Hoar is angry at the At torney General for suggesting a ri val trust bill. Senator Elldns is sensitive because a bill affecting commerce was not referred to Ms committee, and so senatorial digni ty is to be made another barrier to anti-trust legislatiou. The people are begging for relief tor the suffering largely contribut ed to by ths tariff on ico.il, jbut there is no hope of relief from a republican Congress. The Dinaley schedules are more precious !tnan the lives of the women andjchild ren in the eyes of a true republi can. A HALF TOLD STORY. The story of the wealth of Clack -nmas county in the state of Oregon has only been half told. Her but ied riches, her wonderful forests and endless acres of alluvial up- land and valley soil have onlybeen seen in the perspective. In more ways than one the county of Clack amas is the most remarkable on the American continent. It is to tell its'story, exploit its resources and blazon to the world its illimitable possibilities that the Courier is seeking to accomplish in its souve nir and illustrated edition which is promised for the nearfuture.- This great county is entitled to have aid about It in no uncertain way all of the good things and none of the bad. It should be written in big letters so that "he who runs may read" that this county pre sents to the world the best oppor tunity for homes, happiness and plenty to be found between the two seas. The county is as large as the state of Rhode Island and al most as large as Deleware. n acre of its soil is a rich loam, fruit ful in season and bountiful in har vest. The county has many re markable natural advantages and places of picturesque interest. Mt. Hood, that old sentinel of the Cas cade range, marks the county s eastern boundary and lifts its snow capped peak into the sky, watch ing "forever and a day" the love ly valley stretching away to the westward from his feet to the waters of the Willamette river. No more picturesque and useful water falls can be found anywhere than is the falls on the Willamette river at Oregon City, The Clackamas river, some twenty miles back from the Willamette, tumbles in half mile down a fall of loo feet, making one of the finest water powers in the country. The county has ten beautiful rivers running from the "mountains tothe sea.' Its rivers, its water falls, and its mountains do not constitute all of its marvelous features, or all of its wealth. Twenty-five miles east of Oregon City, and about half way between the river and the mountains, is Wilhoit Springs. A watering place that has but one equal in the world. The water is abundant and its cur ative properties come only second to Baden Baden in Germany. To that great Spa even now thousands of people journey each summer for health and pleasure. Further out and in the 'foothills of the Cascade range are the famous Hot Springs of Clackamas county. They are hardly known even to the people of the county. Here the water comes from the bowels of the earth at al most a boiling temperature, and is abundant for any and all purposes and will in the days to come no doubt be as famous as a resort 'as the Hot Springs of Arkansas. With our timber and rich agricultural lands, our fruits and stock, Clack amas county easily becomes one of the richest spots in the world is of and about these things the Courier desires to write in the illus trated edition it has put on foot, that the world may know just how big and important we are. An Illustrated Xumber The Courier lias undertaken the pub licatbn uf an illustrated number de voted to a general description of the wealth and resources, people and his'.ory of Clackamas county. Tlte Courier ue- lieves iu doing "All things well" lieueo promises the people of llus county Unit tnis edition ol the Uourmr sliull be one one of the handsomest and moat cjiu pieto iu every detail yet issue.i on ttii.-i coast. It is Uie intention to issue a pa- per of tiny-two pages, t lie same sue s the regular pages ol the Courier, iliac each page ahull be handsomely illustra ted with half tone cuts of people,seetitry and things of this great comity. Thai the Jpper shall be printed on ttie finest bouffpaper and bound lmudsonwiy in covvrs. 'e promise that every mater ial resource of Clackamas couuty, its villages and its towns shall have titling write up in its columns. We expect u call on every one who lould likely be iutererUtd iu this issue of the Courier, unfold our plans to them aud solicit them to take space in this i&sue of tin paper. We bevin this work the com ing week and wiUcvy it to completion just as fast as we potfiibly can. The pa per will be issued in from slx'y to nine ty days. Some delay may be occasioned br the rainy weather of the latter part of the -winter, as we want to get out iu the country to itet pictures of the country homes, and points of interest iu Clacka mas county and it takes good weather to take good pictures. The editors uf the Courier are old hands at this class of work and feel assured that the paper will be the best tiling that has been done for Clackamas couuty in xmany years, ThiB is a most opportune time 10 put this kind of an enterprise 011 foot. Thousands of people iu the Kmt are turning their eyes in this direction and much can be accomplished in securing them us permanent settlers tf tbe Wil lamette valley aud Clackamas couuty if we bat advertise our resources and pos sibilities. The Courier is in this under taking with the expectation of doing its part and only asks tbe nearty coopera tion of its friends and the people of the county, Six thousand copies ot tnis edition will be issued and as many more as the prospective demand will likely absorb. Persons in the country who are interested in this work and desire their farms and homes written up and pic tures of their stock made should com municate their wishes to us at as early a date as possible, as it will be necessary to secure the services of a good photog rapher and catch a nice spell of weather during which the pictures can be made. It is tbe intention now to have the pa lter ready for delivery in the early spring. REALTY TRANSFERS. Furnished Every Week byJCIacka- mas Abstiact & Trust Co.

WHAT THE ENDOWMENT RANK IS The Endowment Rank is a Fraternal Mu tual Benefit (insurance) Organization. It was brought into existence by the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias. It is, there fore, an integral part of the Order itself. It is legislated for and controlled by the Supreme Lodge, representing the entire or ganization, which means that more than 600,000 of America's best men are interest ed in its welfare, and stand sponsors for the fulfillment of its obligations. It is operated through an executive board, termed. "The Board of Control." This board consists of seven members, two of whom are the Supreme Chancellor and the Supreme Vice-Chancellor, the other five also being elected by the Supreme Lodge. A SECTION OF THE RANK IS BENEFI CIAL TO THE SUBORDINATE LODGE. The Endowment Rank adds much strength to the subordinate Lodge, as it is a rare oc currence that a member of the Rank per mits himself to be suspended for non-pay ment of his Lodge dues, because such sus pension would cause a forfeiture of his membership in the Endowment Rank, For this reason the Rank solves in a large degree the problem of how to prevent the suspension of members for the non-payment of dues. " Some will tell you that no reliance can be placed in Fraternal Institutions; that they are uncertain and poorly managed; that many of them have "gone to the wall;" that the system upon which they are organized Is impracticable in brief, many will tell you to avoid Fraternal In stitutions by all means. In this connec tion it is perhaps well to call attention to the fact that Old Line Companies have their short-comings as well as Fraternal Organizations. Charters have been grant' ed to over 800 Old Line Insurance Compa nies. Ut this large number there remain in existence today less than 50. On the other hand, statistics show scarcely an in stance of a well-established, bona fide Fra ternal Institution upon the Lodge system that has failed. Of this class it should be remembered there is no organization pre senting stronger cohesive factors than the Order of Knights of Pythias, of which the Endowment Rank is an integral part. Some will teJJ you that the Endowment Rank's rates are too high. In reply to this, it may be stated that the rates adopt ed by the Rank are based on the mortality table adopted by the National Fraternal Congress. This gives a rate, agreed by eminent actuaries, to be as low as is con sistent with safety. The Endowment Rank is now 25 years old, and is stronger today than at any pe riod of its existence. Have You Looked Into the PIANO and ORGAN PRICES at Eiler's Piano House ?

Zht Popular Pacific Coast PianolBoust. Pianos the best and guaranteed. We send pianos everywhere, subject to examination. Money back if not absolutely satisfied. I.arge nourishing houses at San Francisco, Spokane and Sacramento. It Is to the Interest of every Pythian to become a mem ber of the Endowment Rank, for it adds strength to the Order. . ' , It offers protection which is as safe and reliable as that guaranteed by any Frater nal Institution in existence. It offers a maximum of protection at a minimum of cost. , Its rates are entirely equitable as to age and occupation. Its medical examinations are free to the applicant, the same being paid by the Rank. All moneys are returned to reject ed applicants. Its death claims are promptly settled upon the filing of satisfactory proot or death. ' ' It comes to the aid of a Knight's family when assistance is most needed. It has granted protection to the extent of over One Hundred Million Dollars to the dependents of sixty thousand members of the Order. ! The Rank presents the strongest features of cohesive strength, equity, economy. It is the only insurance which is in any manner connected with,' or recognized by the Order, Knights of Pythias. During its 25 years of existence it has distributed more than $18,000,000 among the benefici aries of deceased Knights. It is the practical exponent of one of the most important forms of benevolence thoughtfulness for those we love. It is to your interest to insure today, for tomorrow may be too late, and years of re gret may follow. loydt. king, General Organizer Endowment Rank, K. of P., Portland, Or. Deaths of a Week. C. F.
