Grass is one of tho groat sources of wealth of this county. From three to four tons of fino grass to the acre is certainly a thing of joy to the farmers. In all of tho wide world Clackamas county is hard to beat. It is a garden spot, fruitful and bounteous and the world is finding in out. Almost every day new comers are locating in the county. The management of the Lewis and Clark Fair are to be congratulated upon the selection of Mr. Harvy Scott editor of the Oregonian as the presi dent of the great Enterprise and of H. W. Goode, the presidont and mana ger of 'the Portland General Electric Co., as its director Jgenoral. Mr. Goode is particularly well adopted for the position ho has been selected to fill and will devote all his time to tho work. The success of the Fair is now agsured. THE HONORED DEAD. In ihe dentil of John B. Dimick, of Hubbard, Marion County, his liomo county, lias lost an old and worthy citizen. It is easy to spoak well of the dead, but J. B. Dimick deserves more than good words. He was a man of sterling integrity and tho highest character. Twenty years ago it was the good fortuno of the editor of the Courier to moot Mr. Dimick. He was then the president of the board of directors of the Hub bard schools and from liim and his coadjntorB we secured the school and taught there for six months. We remember Mr. Dimick as a .strong and stalwart citizon,; who had con victions and did ot foar not express them to all men. It was a time of strenuous politics. The Cleveland Blaine campaign for the presidency was on and at that time Mr. Dimick was a staunch republican. He hud a big bunch of boys, six or seven who came to our soiiool. All of them were wirey, witlioy fellows, a "chip off the old block" able to take care of them selves any where or any plnce and while they gave the teacher soine troublo and possibly he gave them sonio iu return, they have turuod out woll 'and as tho worthy "sons of a worthy sire are making thoir mark in "tho world. J. B. Dimick was Homothing more than a pioneer. His father came to this stato sixty years ago and the deceased was then only a ad. He has ' lived'7 here "all these yours and there Jias noverbemi an hour in till his munly, jigorou's'llife Unit he has not boon a good citizen and ;an Inmost man. And aftcratl us old crippled, deformed Pope 'sai37 "an honest iiiian" iH the noblest work of God." In the latter yours of his life Mr. Dimick became Jan ardaut and strong democrat, i He took more than an ordinary JJiiterostlHii J the politics of ;hisiconnty. TholiiHt timu lie was iujirogon City hejeame to the Courier otHoe and talked to us about tho future policy of tho party mid its probable noniiuocs. In Hiis hour, however, politics is vain "ami tho ".things of this earth forgotjW The cold and icy .'hand of death Jias laid tho strong luiui"" low. tllofhatj crossed the dark river into the niv knowu aud the unknowable beyond. Ho loaves a heritage of good doods and splendid examples. Peace to his ashes. THE GROWTH OF CORPORATIONS. The format ionn of a corporation is not always a sign that a new trust is being bred and nursed Corpora tions have cixsted for concreted busi ness purposes, public, private aud commercial, for centuries untold. Their numerous dovolopenient in num bers and magnitude is due to t lie in creasing complexity of world civiliza tion and commerce. Ono reason for their great multipli cation iu this country iu recent years is tho expansion of.bnsiness operations which carry tho affairs of enterprises into nuy number or all of tho states mid territories of the uatiou. Kach of those political divisions have laws peculiar to themselves governing commerce, est ares, liquidations, etc. In former times merchants from every where in tho country went to Balti more , "Philadelphia, New York and Host on to purchase stocks of goods, or order them from thoso wholesale and jobbing centers. Tho laws of the place of contract covered their transactions and partnerships could do business then throughout the na tion with little fear of far-off and variable laws. Now the method of doing business has changed radically. Commercial travelers cover the land as tho frogs covered Egypt and are twice as lively in their quests for ens tomers and trade. The result of the new methods of business is the multiplying of cor porations after the principle which inherits in monarchies, "Whore the king never dies." So a corporation is better than a partnership. The stockholder in the former, though he may own a majority of the stock, may die, but the corporation does not thereby necessarily die or go into liquidation in order that his estate may be settled,' His stock repre smts his interest! and is an asset of his estate that can be dealt with so as not to disturb for a moment the gen eral operations of the business. It is because of the safety and en durance thus inherent in corporations that has cased their present popu larity. This will increase in the years to come and require that legis lators and courts shall take greater pains to adjust the laws of state and nation, to the control and right regla tion of such bodies. Interstate com merce already has demandod national control of them where state laws are impotent for each and regulate their operations. Out of their logical ex pansion have come the trusts and with the trusts has come the duty to protect the people from too much power and too much independence Dy theso giant monopolies. EXDL4.STD. SUCCESSFUL CHAUTAUQUA. One of the most successful Chautau quas ever held in the Willamette Valley or elsowhero came to a close on last Sunday evening. The program was sumptuous in every particular. Every thing moved along from start to flinsh like clock work. The best of order pervailed and everybody who participated or had the pleasure in attending the meetings had a most ex cellent time. It was edcuational and inspiring It was uplifting and bene ficial to 'the community and the Valley. For all of this good work the directors of the Willamette Val ley Chautauqua are to be credited ; but the chief credit and greatest glory of it (.belongs to the Hon. Harvey E. Cross who is the secretary and manager of the four Chautauquas i of the Pacific Coast of which curown j it the biggest and best. Too much j credit cannot be given to Mr. Cross j for hit good work, his incessent labors ! and his tireless devotion to the Chau tauqua work. And now while we are speaking about Chautauquas it occurs that the Paciflo coast group of Chau tauquas ought to be enlarged a little by placing a Chautauqua at Seattle r between Seattle and Taooma and one at Spokane the Queen of the inland citios of the Paciflo Northwest. That would give the coast couutry six Chautauquas. They would all be placed under one management as far as tho arrangomont of the pro garm is coucoruod and thoy could bring to the coait every year the very best talent in the laud. The editor of the Courier has been famil iar with Chautauqua work for twenty years "and iB froe to confess that the Chautauqua at Gladstone Park whioh has just closed its annual mooting has been one of the vory best. Lot tho good work go und it would bo well if Mr Cross Jwould go to Seattle and Taooma aud interest the people there in this lino of educational rocreativo work, aud then to Spokane and tho ohain would be completed and every year we would be assured a Chautau qua programme that would be a de light to tho soul and a joy forever.
