OREGON CITY, NOVEMBER 13, 1903
Dowie has cured many supersti
tious persons of their belief in the
power of "Elijah 11."
The present adminisrration de
serves the title ot the Twentieth
century school for scandals.
The canals in New York state are
now supplied with an electric tow
ing system. Lo the poor mule.
Senator Hanna can now go back
to Washington and take up his ex
slave pension bill and ship subsidy.
The republicans will soon explain
the decline in business as the result
of the fear, of a Democratic victory
next fall.
Republicans feel that they are
sure of the labor vote because the
President dined John Mitchel at the
White House.
Senator Hanna holds the record
for collecting campaign contri
butions so the republicans will need
him to direct the next campaign.
The President succeeded in keep
ing back the Bristow report on the
postal frauds until after the elections
but the voters will remember it next
fall. ' .
If It took Mr. Bristow 1,000,000
words to tell of the postal scandals,
it will take a whole library to des
cribe the land frauds iu the Interior
Department.
At the national capital there Is a
free school for teaching the Irish
language to anyone who desires
such instruction. The classes are
well attended.
Charles M. Schwab, who talks
about the exhorbitant demands of
labor as cause of the present set
back in business, made eignt to ten
millions out of the shipping deal.
Crown Prince Frederick William
has earned the title of "rough rider"
by riding up the steep steps of six
terraces leading to the castle of
San Souci. The Princa was follow
ed by an entire troop of the First
Kegiment of the Guards.
The Ship Building Trusts may
have been an example or "high
finance" but most people would call
it a great swindle. It might not be
a bad plan for Schwab to take a
trip to Europe and wait for the
salvation of the statute of limita
tions.
The Treasury statement which
shows conditions at the close of the
first four months of the fiscal year,
exhibits a striking contrast to the
statement of last year. There was
hen a surplus of $ 18,000,000 and
the surplus is almost eliminated.
What will Secretary Shaw do next
to help the banks?
The city of Portland is justly a
little proud of herself this week.
She has notexactly gotthe swelled
head but is blowing her own horn
and feeling "mighty" good. Last
week the largest cargo of flour ever
learedfrom any port In the world.
84,000 barrels was cleared from the
Port of Portland. Portland Is just
ly entitled to ?e called the metropo
lis of the Northwest and one of
these days will be a city of a half
million of people.
There lis much In the aftermath
of the late election to cause every
Democrat In the land to rejoice.
If President Roosevelt is the nomi
nee of the Republican party and
there is but little doubt that he will
be New York state is almost suretc
be found in the Democratic column.
With New York in the Democratic
column a Democratic president will
be elected. With New York, Ken
tucky and Maryland safe.the Dem
ocrats with a pood ticket and a
clean ticket will win the National
election.
Poor old Clackamas county owes
$40,000 more than she
thought she did.' All any one had
to do was to check up the county
warrants that were unpaid and add
to them accrued interest thereon,
to discover this remarkable state of
affairs. Be it known also that for
many years the county court and
the Board of Commissioners of
Clackamas county have been Re
publicans ','m politics. While the
Democrats and the Populists at
various times have held the mi
nor places the Republicans have al
ways had the appropriating and
spending of the money collected by
taxes from the people, and have
controlled the payment of the
county's obligations. It must be a
system of very bad book keeping
that will keep a. county or an indi
vidual from knowing within forty
thousand dollars of what if owes,
PRINCIPLES 'BEFORE MEN.
It was, in the halcvoh days of
Democratic prosperity.a favorite
maxim of the party that it stood
for "principles, not men!" Clearly,
the era of its exclusion from na
tional control is a more excellent
time for it to adhere to that pro
verb.
The Washington Evening Star
admits, with its wonted fairness
that The Constitution has taken a
right position in this respect and is
probably the foremost of Democrat
ic papers in calling for a. reunion of
every Democratic voter in the land
upon a platform that will talk busi
ness and have a forward prow to
ward definite results in good gov
ernment. The day for ferry-boat
platforms that can move forward or
backward without an visible turn
ing about is due to become yester
day in the Democratic calendar.
What the rank and file of the
Democracy, and what the whole
country not enslaved to the Repub
lican party, are waiting for is a
Democratic leadership capable of
formulating consistent American
and Democratic doctrines into a
platform that the honest masses
can trust. Make that platform
first. Make it fair and plain. Make
it so no man can afterwards misin
terpret it or claim he did not accept
it When we can say to any man
asking the nomination for the presi
dency that if he does not honestly
subscribe to it and will not honestly
adhere to 'it when elected he must
get off the track.
There should be no playing of
favorite sons, no hot-foot search
for "one who can win" on other
grounds than the platform and his
trustworthy character. . The Dem
ocracy ought to rule the govern
ment and it may do so if it will
once more come back to its former
practice of standing for "princi
ples, not men!"
THE UN0ERPAI0 PREACHERS.
In a religious journal we read the
statement that "the ministry is the
only one of the learned professions
that is not overcrowded."
We have no reason to doubt the
declaration and no surprise that is
true. To enter the ministry has
for time untold been to commit eco
nomic suicide. The antique notion
that a just God calls men to the
ministry because they have been
occultly created by him with stom
achs and other organs specially
adapted to scant rations and poor
provisioning in creature comforts Is
emphatically played out. A man
is a fool and an infidel to subscribe
to any such doctrine, especially
when it involves the sustenance of
his wife, the proper feeding, educa
tion and preparation for life of his
children.
There is no more reason in com
mon sense and a merciful religion
why an educated preacher of the
gospel should receive less pay than
a railway trackhand and the av
erage pay of a modern American
preacher is less than that than
thete is that an educated lawyer
should work for fun or or an edu
cated banker lend money on bare
faced promises to pay.
The notion that a preacher must
be "abovethe sordidthings" of suf
ficient bread and meat, and that
his family should be compelled to
suffer hardships, humiliations and
ignorance because the head of the
house cannot seem to "preach for
money" is an archaic andfadatical
fad that ill becomes the temper and
liberality of the present age.
Let it be understood that minis
ters of the gospel will be ministered
to in decent degree and there will
be no lack of strong, educated men
who will enter its ranks and still
not ask or expect more' than the
hire of which the laborer is worthy.
New ice ComiHtny.
U. E. Harris ami others have incor
porated a new Ice and cold storage com
pany in Oregon City to be known as the
Oregon City Ice and Cold Storage Co.
The business of the Company will be the
manufacturing of ice and the transaction
of a general cold storage business and
the buying and selling of produce. The
capital stock is $6,000.

EXTRAORDINARY
ANNOUNCEMENT
100 Beautiful and Choice Lots for $100 a Lot
$10 Down and $10 Per Month. Without Interest
Only a Small Monthly Payment Secures an Ideal
Homesite in the Handsomest Spot in . Oregon
It is not intended that the ioo lots shall be selected in out of the way places, or shall fee of
inferior or even second quality, but in each instance the purchaser makes his or her own selection,
with only two reservations; the first four lois from the motor line are reserved, and a party only buy
ing one lot cannot select the corner lot.
Parties living at a distance can send their payments to me or to the Bank of Oregon City, and
it will be held until final payments are make, when a warranty deed will be promptly executed and
an abstract of title furnished, when required, showing a fee simple title in the purchaser free of all
incumbrances.
Absolute good faith will be kept with all parties and the utmost effort will be made to please
and satisfy everyone .
To prove our faith in the future of Gladstone, we make this proposition to all pur
chasers: The Association, when final payments are made, will upon receiving 30 days
prior notice thereof, in case of dissatisfaetion, pay back the entire purchase money, with
$25.00 additional. This will only apply to sales made before June 1st, 1904.
I We feel that this is an entirely safe proposition, for in our candid judgment no lot will be sold
that is not worth double the money at the present moment. .
Gladstone is on the O. W. P. Ry. Company's motor line, a short mile north of Oregon City.
Five cent fare to Oregon City and 15 cent fare to Portland. Elegant motor cars pass through the
property every thirty minutes, The Southern Pacific cars also pass through Gladstone.
When the 100. lots are sold and paid for the Gladstone Real Estate Association will
give a check for One-Thousand Dollars to the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association,
provided the last of the hundred lots are sold by the end of the next annual assembly in
1904, to be used for permanent improvements on its grounds at Gladstone Park.

OREGON CITY.
BOLD BANDIT
Commits Highway Robbery on
the Road Near Oswego.
.Louis Callahan, of Dickey's Prairie,
brought the report to town last Wednes
day about 10 'clock that he had juBt bsen
held up and robbed of $75 by an un
masked highwayman near the town of
Oswego.
The police of this city were notified
as well as the sheriff, and lett for the
scene oNhe alleged crime almost im
mediately. They could find no evidence
of a hold-up nor no clue to the high wy
man. When they returned they were
rather skeptical about the matter and
were rather inclined to the belief that
Callahan was laboring under a balucina
tion. Callahan is a farmer and on Tuesday
he started for Portland with a load of
butchered hogs. He passed through
Oregon City and a friend with whom he
talked here admonished him to be care
ful, and to keep away from the gamb
ling houses and concert halls of Port
land, or else he was likely to lose bio
money. Calb'han declared that he was
coming buck just bb soon as he could net
the hops oft' his hands and the money in
his pocket. The friends with whom Cal
lahan talked declared that Callahan was
in the habit of oceaMonally looking "up
on tl e wine when it was red," ami when
in a condition not strictly sober he whs
likely to gamble. This was why he gave
him the warning. , allahan's slory con
cerning jobbery is an interesting one
lie said that he had sold his hogs and
put the money in his pocket and started
back home. He had reached a p int
about a mile .from Oswego when a man
stepped from the brush and hailed him.
He drew rein and tb e man came up
remarking that it had been a long time
since he had teen him. The high-' ay.
man' as it proved to be. then seized
Callahan'B wrist and drew a ,longknife,
which' he flourished in his face, demand
ing that he dig up. Callahan declared
to the robber that he bad no money, but
thd robbr told him that he knew bet
ter and Jerked him from the wagon,
slashing at him with his open knife, cut
ting through hit coat. After a little
further parley Callahan gave him $75,
II the money he had, and the bandit
disappeared in the brush from whence
he had come.
People who incline to the belief that
Callahan told an untruth about the mat
ter, base their opinions on the fact that
if Callahan bad gambled his money
away in Portland ha would rather have
met a dozen highwaymen than to have
gone borne and told Mrs. Callahan that
he had lost his money gambling, and for
this reason they think he may have con
cocted the Btory about the hold up.

The Eaaentinl Thing; Out of Which
Blood la Hade.
These are the things out of which
blood Is made. If the food is nutri
tious and properly cooked, if the air is
pure and full of oxygen, if the water
is clean and free from impurities, the
blood will be rich and red and full of
vitality.
Barring physical accidents, there is
no sickness except that depending di
rectly upon a wunt of food or water
or nir, sometimes nil three. When any
one is sick the presumption Is that he
has been trying to subsist on poor
food or vitiated air or bad wuter, one
or more.
In order to have good food a person
ought to have the first eating of it.
Food that has been mussed over and
left by one person is not fit to be eaten
by another.
In order to have good air a person
ought to have the first breathing of it.
Air that has been breathed by other
persons is not fit to breathe again.
Water should be fresh from some
spring or well. If hydrant water must
be used let it run a bit, as the house
pipes are apt to bo of lead and not
iron like the pipes that convey the wa
ter through the city.
Food that Is relished, air that cools
and Invigorates, water that Is quaffed
with eager thirst these are the things
that make blood. Put fresh air into
the lungs, good food and pure water
Into the stomach, and nature will do
the rest Medical Talk.
A Trick With nn Earg
Place two V shaped wineglasses of
the same size ueur the edge of a table.
In the right baud one Vut 1111 egg. jut
fitting the rim of the glass. Hold the
bases of the glasses tlrtuly down, the
top rims touching each other. Now.
with a quick, sharp breath, blow upon
the Hue where the egg and the glass
meet The egg will Jump to the other
glass. With a little practice this can
be done every tlino. Be careful to
blow In a line with the left hand glass,
or the egg will Jump In tho wrong di
rection and land ou the table with dis
astrous results.
Her Objection.
"Don't you think you are taking the
wrong stand when you say you do not
wish your son to marry, Mrs. Wll
loughbyT" asked an Intimate friend.
"Don't you know it is natural and best
for a young man to marry and that he
will not think any the less of bis moth
er because he has a wife?"
"Oh. it Isn't that" protested Mrs.
Willoughby. "I don't mind his marry
ing on general principles, but I don't
want to be called the old Mrs. Wil
loughby.' "New York Press.

NEWFOUND CAN D W'ftEC KERS
The Bounty That la Gleaned From
Barren Shore,
In bygone times It was the practice
of the Newfoundland coast folk to ap
propriate everything they secured, but
this lawlessness had to be sternly re
pressed. Now the unwritten rule is
that they get "half their hand," or 50
per cent as salvage. In portable and
valuable articles, such as silverware,
there is still a strong temptation to
keep the whole, but the punishment Is
severe. Champagne, liquors, cabin
stores and the like have also a trick
of disappearing, und in the poorest
fisher's cottage you will come upon
rare china, dainty unpery, silverware
of price and wines to tempt an epl
cure. The salvors are reckless and un
thinking, and as they gather in hun
dreds every man pre-empts what he
can. Iu the rush there is much de
stroyed. When the Herder was lost
In 1SS2 they burned whalebone worth
$15,000 a ton to save leather costing
20 cents a pound. In the Emmellne
wreck of 1000 they trampled crates of
costly glassware to get at four cases
of French prayer books valued at 25
cents apiece. Ou one occasion two
salvors had got ashore a piano and
were adopting the Sokmion-Jlke expe
dient of sawing it in half when a
shrewder chum bought it from them
for a bottle of whisky looted from the
captain's cabin. When the Grasbrook
went ashore In 1S0O every man on the
shore provided himself with a German
concertina, of which instruments of
torture she had a large consignment
and to secure them packages of much
more costly freight were thrown over
board. When the Orion, from Balti
more for Copenhagen, struck the back
of Cape Race and went to pieces she
had a large consignment of bicycles
on board, and they were auctioned In
St John's and disposed of all over the
Island The Abbeymore's lading in
1898 Included some cases of splendid
English rifles for Canada, and these
are now to be seen adorning every
fisher's cottage along the shore. P. X.
