Shut Up.
The whiskey and gambling joint just
across the stieet from the depot has been
closed up as tight as a jug by the good
looking constable of Oregon Citv. Mr.
James Wilson who has been running
they place has evidently run into the
ground as ne can not De louna ana a
bunch of his creditors are walking the
floor. Mr. Moody had only one claim
when he took possession and . nailed up
the place and that was for $27. It is a
proverbial tact tnat no saioonist can
succeed on that corner. It would seem
that there is no one on the street who
likes wet goods.

The Benef't of Charge.
We are like house plants: We need a
change of soil now and then to be replant
ed. New scenes, new experiences, new
surroundings a change of climate, dry
air instead of moisture, sunshine in
place of cloud. This Is sometimes es
sential to health. There are condition j
near at land that are better than Europe
can offer. Take a month or two in Cali
fornia. Plant yourself for a time where
there are no irritations, where the hotel
is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, where warm sunny (weather invites
to walks and drivas. Pure and dry air,
and the increaseased electric influences
of sunshiae are vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very little
expense, and enjoy a ride over the scen
ic Siskiyou and Shasta mountains, which,
at this time of the year with their snow
covered peaks, are, surpassed for their
grandeur.

on government works. As I was chief
clerk of the judiciary committee in' the
Senate, a statement from me mar be
the means of throwing some light on a
subject that is apparently misunder
stood. I am a member of a local union
in Astoria, being secretary of Astoria
Local No. 142, and am as much inter
ested in securing the passage of labor
laws as any other member ot any union
in the state,' I have been president of
Astoria Council Federation of Labor for
18 months, and was its president until
about six months ag 3. I desire to say,
that so far as you are concerned, that no
one worked any harder or more persist'
ently to secure a report 'on, and the pas
sage of the two bins than you. xou
were repeatedly before the judiciary
committee urging them to report on the
bills, at one time saying, "that you had
promised the passage of the bills to your
constituents, and not to report them
would be to attach the blame to you
On one occasion you came to me as :
clerk and aBked me to draw up a favor
able report on the bills and have the
chairman sign it. I did so, and the bills
were then discussed by four members of
the committee. The committee decided
that it was nnnecessary to report the
bills back, giving as their reason, that
inasmuch as several bills in the inter
ests of labor had been passed, panel
pally the one introduced by BaiUy, H.
B. 146 "Preventing the blacklisting of
laborers, and H. B. 148, "Protecting la
borers who ioined .unions." as labor or
ganizations had heretofore regulated the
hours of labor, and with these two bills,
it placed labor organizations in almost
absolute control ' of the regulation of
hours of labor, the two bills would only
incumber the statute books. Another
objection raised to the bill "Providing
eight hours in certain specified employ
ments," thecommittee were of the opin
ion that the bill would come under the
constitutional prohibitions of "class leg
islation," and might result in numer
ous law suits.
Another objection to the bill was, that
there were a certain class of laborers,
such as bartenders, cooks, waiters and
other employments, thaf an eight hour
labor law would operate against both
employer and emplove, as it would be
a difficult matter to arrange the hours
of labor in these employments, from
the very nature of the business.
Another question was. can the legis
lature paBB a lawm aking eight hours a
day's labor in certain specified employ
ments, without including all employ
ments, and if it did so, would it not be
class legislation?
There was not a single member of any
labor organization in the state rhat ap
peared before the committee and asked
for the passage of these two bills. You
were the only person that came before
the committee and asked that the com
mittee report favorably on the bills so as
to give you an opportunity to advocate
their passage on the floor of the senate.
I was in lavor or the passage ot both
bills, but not being a member of the
legislature or of the committee, I had
no more influence, nor as much as you
did. In my opinion, the labor unions of
Oregon City have acted hastily in this
matter and without a thorough under
standing ofthe facts in the case. I have
nojnterest in this matter, but being a
member of a labor organization, and
also being in a position to know what
you did to secure the passage of both
bills, I write you, with the hopes that
the labor- organizations of Oregon City
will resciud their actions and give you
the credit "ou deserve. Labor organiza
tions cannot make friends by condemn
ing any man who has always worked
for their interests, and they should not
blame one man because be was unable
to convince five that it v. as to die inter
ests of organized labor to have the bills
enacted into laws. iVilh best wishes I
remain.
Verj Leepectfully,
C.J.Curtis.
BASE BALL
Amature
Batt.
Clubs to Cross
; Barbers vs Clerks.
What promises to be a hot "tamale"
in the base ball world will be pulled off
at the ball park at Willamette on next
Sunday. The barbers of Oregon City
will play the clerks. There are a number
of fine players on each side. There is
also a good natured rivalry between them
and they are all certain to do their best,
An admission fee of inly fifteen cents
will be charged. . The game will be
called at two o'clock and last all the
evening. "Red" Williams one of the
best twirlers on the coast will put them
over for. the barbers. Williams is a
wonder. He Is ambidexterous, but
pitches jnostly with his south paw. He
6an use one hand just as good as he can
another.' In fact he has been known to
"shave" two people at one time. To
watch him pitch will be worth the price
of admission alone. The Clerks have a
good one under cover and expect him
to be a world beater. Everybody
should go out and encourage the boys
and help boost the game along. It wi'l
need boosting. No professional allowed

and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby des
troying the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strenght by building up t:ie constitu
tion and assisting nature in doing its work. The

powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars lor
