During his pursuit of the Indians in the swamps of Florida, an officer found General Jackson wading through the morass knee-deep, like a common sol. dier. "General," he asked, "what's be come of your horse?" "ABick man is riding it," he replied, "We can't spare any men." "Old Hickory" was a stern disciplinarian but devoted to his soldiers and they loved him in return. Henry Geohois, Jr., states in an article in the January Pearson's that the Standard Oil cligue, in its manipula tions of cupper sharfeH.obtained between Beventy and eighty millions of Amalga mated Copper stock (or which it paid not ono cent out of its own pocket. How long will it be before Standard Oil not alone owns the government but the earth? Why is the Sherman anti-trust law not endorsed? The vear 1904 is born into the world this good Friday morning as we greet our readers. The old one waB an im portant one in the world's history. Vast steps were taken in every department of human endeavor. The new year holds much of promise to us all. It will be an important one in many respects. We will have a a Presidential election and and the createst World's Fair in the history ol the World will be held at St. Louis, Mo. We all go forward with re1 newed hope and strong resolutions to do . more and do things better this year than ever before. Why not ? God bless the "Old year"andiU blessed memories All hail to the new vesrl JACKSON'S DAY. The 8th of January, Jackson's Day, is one of the most Important in the annals of the Republic. Not alone because it is the anniversary of a great battle and a most brilliant victory won by American arms over "perfidious Albion," but also because the hero nnder whose leader ship it was fought made a profound im press on the country which will remain as long as the union of states endures By his victorious campaign in ;he Floridas in 1814, he added a territory of the country whose acquisition was no lees importance than was that of tl.e Lone Star State. It made our Atlantic coast homogeneous from the julf to our nortneastern Uanadian border. As a leader of men Jackson was among the greatest of the great. Let us briefly recount the main in cidents of the battle of New Orleans. General Jackson's 6000 men, among them many backwoods riflemen from Kentucky aud Tennessee, occupied a line ol intrenchments a mile long pro tected in the rear by piles of cotton bales. Within 500 yards of the Ameri can troops, General Sir Edward Paken ham, with more than 8000 veteran troops, threw up breastworks of BUgar and molasses. Soon the Yankee cannon balls were spattering dark-brown sugar and black-strap over Tommy Adkins. On the morning of January 8th, 1815, the English army moved against the American entrenchments. It advanced in twocolumns, each with a regiment in front carrying scaling ladders, while a strong reserve was left in the rear. The moving mass, the floKer of the Britisn army, under command of one of the Duke of Wellington's most distin guished ofllcers, excited murmurs of admiration among the Americans, who, with rifles cocked and fingers upon the trigger, glanced along their long barrels, taking Bight, and awaited the order to "Fire 1" It came. The British advance was in a moment annihilated. Brave Pakenhum fell at the head of his troopB, mortally wounded. The British assault was hopeless and the enemy retreated Lmlllid and beaten. In loss than half an hour, the engage ment began and ended. The British loBt 2000 men, killed, wounded 'end prisoners, the killed being about 800. while the loss of General Jackson's army was seven killed and six wounded. sentative Williams. In the Senate they have decided to bind themselves to cau cus rule, accepting as the party policy whatever it agreed npon by two-thirds of the caucus. The importance of this action should not be overlooked. For years in the senate, tne democratic members have opposed the Republicans individually or in small groups; now, on impoitant questions, after the caucus decision has been reached, they can op pose as a unit and under Senator Gor man's leadership. The only legislation so far passed is the Cuban reciprocity bill. Small as are the concessions to Cuba they could not have been given without the aid of Democratic votes, and the Democrats can claim credit for the . treaty and for the bill which made it effective. On the Panama question, I which is now being considered in, the I Senate the Democrats have taken a pos itive stand in opposition to the methods' by which the treaty was obtained, and they may decide to prevent its ratifica tion, which they have the power to do Senator Gorman believes that the Pana ma affair would make a good issue on hich to fight the nnxt presidential campaign and is trying to nnite the Democrats on a plan of opposition. By the time Congress convenes again, the Democratic attitude toward the treaty will have no doubt been decided upon. Whether they oppose the ratification of the treaty, or not, they have already exposed the questionable methods by which the Republican administration had obtained it. In this they received the aid of Republican Senator Hoar, whose bitter arraignment of his party's administra'son caused consternation in the Republican rauks, and brought him thecongratulation of the Democats. Leader Williams has brought the House Democrats well undr control and their opposition to the Republicans con tinues to be united. As advocates of "publicity" in the postal scandals and investigations they have been remarka bly successful. The repoits have all been given to the public and the prob. ability of a congressional investigation is greaW In both the Senate and House the Republicans are on the defensive.

It was oirty a few years ago when tMs road was a monument to the progressive spirit of Clackamas county ,now it Is a monument to the executive and business ability of the county court of Clackamas county This road is ono of the important ones in the county. It leads through a fairly densely populated district into the beau tiful Molalla prairie. It was built main lvof ltlank. Many of the plank are now rotten and broken. It is dangerous to nan and beast to travel over the toad. At night time travel over this highway ii practically impossible. If this road is the best monument in its present con dition that the elllcient county court of Clackamas counly can erect to itself it is high time that another and more ef ficient court were elected. How would it do to elect a cmiplo of Democrats' to the Commissioners' bench ir. Juno? Oi course it is impossible' to get to "His Royal il-gline3b''JudtiO Ryaii.an he holds on two more years as yet. There is no denying the fact that the fiscal affairs of Clackamas county have been managed just about a badly during recent years us they iould have been. A lot of school boyB could not have done worse had they tried. The tax rate lus been increased. The BBSessment has lnun doubled. The roads have deteriorated and the bridges are rotting down, and the Treasury is empty, aud the county debt is larger than at any time in its history. Verily, verily, it is time for a change. It would be difficult to make a change for the worse. Of course, our Republican friends will whistle and say buncombe, hot air, rot, etc., etc. But the farmers and taxpayers are thinking and some thing ii going to "drp" one of these days . I ENERGY 1C Your money back if not satisfied. s. Mr. Bryan has had an audience with the Czar of Russia. Rome one has predicted that the Ger man Emperor will eventually die. Monroe is a more popular name than ooieveitin South America. After the sale of their lands the Phil ippine friarB are going to leave the islands. Secretrry Moody has issued orders to our naval officers not to shoot at the Colombians until thsy shoot first. If there were a strenuous Roosevelt at the head of affairs in Colombia we wo'ild have a mid winter war in the tropics. Senator Hoar's severe criticism of tie President s Panamas policy has caused consternation on the Isthmus and in the V hite House, Secretary Root has given a list of General Wood's qualifications to be ma jor general; chief among them seems to be that he is in the prime of life. ' American typewriters, sewing ma chines and cash registers have paralized similar industries in Germany: and American shoes are rapidly doing the same . "God forbid" exclaimed Senator Tet tus in speaking of the Panama affair, "that this giant republic of ours should ever iiecome too great to maintain its own honor? Ropreeentativn Williams, the Demo cratic leader otjilie House, has become an anient champion ol Canadian recip rocity; and lie relieves it will make a god campaign issue.

The Democratic members of the Sen ate have decided to he bound by caucus rule, anil the Republicans will now have to ileal with a united minority under Senator Gyrman's leadership, The defeated revolutionists in Sanle Domingo are trying to induce our gov ernment to help them hack in power, for whhh they are willing to grant us sovereignity over the anarchic republic. A non-cuumissioned ollicer in Ger many has just been sentenced to eight years' improvement for cruelty to re cruits while the captain who permitted it was condemned to re ami a fou weeks in his room. During a hunt of two hours the Ger man KaiBer killed nine deer and three wild boars. As is usual in these royal bunts, he took up a safe position in the forest and had the half tame animals driven past him. Senator Hoar wrote recently to a wo man's club that he thought women ought to be given the suffrage and that it would purify and exalt Republican I government, This is rather radical statemeut from a man who holds that the popular election of United States Senators would be revolutionary. Our consul at Frankfort, Germany writes that South Africa is a good mar ket for condeused eggs. Thes eggs are prepared by removing their surplus water ud adding water. They are sent to South Africa in hermetically closed boxes ami can hardly be distinguished from fresh esgs. During the present recess of Congress it is interesting to review the puvress made bo far by the Democrats in the Senate and House, under the able lead ership of Senator Gorman audRepre-1 CANBY. The Christmas exercises at the Methodist and the Christian churches were very good. Many useful and pretty presents were given. Lee Eckerson, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Eckles, Otto Evans, and Emma Evans were Portland visitors this week. Mr. and Mrs. W. Bair, and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Knight spent Christmas it, Portland. Several lads attended the Barlow dance and had a good time. Art Knight, Blaine White and Otto Evans attended the Hubbard dance. Mr. P. L.

Bucklen's Arnica 8alve will ki'l the pain and cure the trouble. It's the best Salve on earth for Piles, too. 25c, at Charman & Co, Druggist. The great offer of the Gladstone Real Estate Association made to the people of Oregon, of one hundred lots to be se lected by the purchaser invthe handsome townsite of Gladstone, at an even $ioo per lot, $io down and $io per month with out interest, has attracted widespread attention. Already lots are being sold to careful, conscientious buyers, who not only know a bargain when they see it, but are taking advantage of the low price to get an elegant property where the location is ideal and the enhancemeut in values is sure to follow. Already Portlcnd buyers are rapidly approaching Gladstone on the north. In two years time the electric cars will not be out of sight of handsome dwellings in the entire run of i2miles from Oregon City to Portland. There is no longer any doubt that the moter company will have a double track railway between the two cities by the time of the great Lewis and Clark exposition. Ask any fair man, consult your own good, common sense and there can be but one conclusion, and that is, that property between Oregon Ci:y and Portland is as safe as stock in the First National Bank of Portlaud. It is far be ter than money at Interest. Again, if you ask any fair and unpreju diced man, who does not own property of his own so situated as to be a rival for public favor, as to the handsomest suburb of Oregon City and with greatest promise for the future, and he will unhesitatingly say : GLADSTONE, Already there is a population of five hundred people at Gladstone and not a vacant house. Schools, churches, telephone system and all ether modern and up-to date conveniences rapidly following. Remember the Great Proposition is- 100 lots of your own selection, in the splendid townsite of Gladstone, on the banks of the Clackamas river, a mountain stream famed for its beauty and purity, at $100 per ldt, $10 down and $10 per month without taxes or interest.
