Holcomb, were in no wise abusive, yet he showed that the lattar has de serter! his principles for the sake of of fice. Mr. Hoicomb was one of the most uncompromising supporters of the Kan sas City piatform, and was in the lesis lature in 1901 as a Democrat. Since bis detection from party for the sake of of fice, neither Republican or Democrat can even respect him. , H. G. Starkweather, nominee for school superintendent, spoke in his usual direct and businesslike manner. He said that he, as well as his opponent, should be judged by his past record. His humorous rebuke to Supt. Zinserjfor the latter's unjust insinuation that the Stats Superintendent uses his official position for the benefit of hla political friends, was well put.

Among the many good things (aid at the Molalla meeting last Wednesday, was II. G. Starkweather's reply to a statement made by Supt. Zinser at Mil waukie. Mr. Zinser's statement was to the effect that, as he was politically in sympathy with the State Superintendent, that he could, if elected, secure more favors for the schools of Clackamas county than could a Democratio Super intendent. Mr. Starkweather replied: "I have a better opinion of Mr. Acker- man than has my opponent, I do not believe that the State Superintendent win discriminate against the schools of a county on account of the political com plexion of the Superintendent." from a personal acquaintance with Professor Ackerman, we believe Mr. AT .MOLALLA Certified Copies of Semi-Annual Satements Officers sioner, made many friends by the clever way in which he got right down to busi ness and stated good hard facts about the loose methods of conducting the county's business. S. Hutchinson, nominee for represen tative, fearlessly spoke what was in his mind and made some telling hits on the little fellows of this county who are al ways ready to take up the cry of the leaders. W. W. Jesse, nominee for the legis lature, compliments the Republicans of Clackamas county on the vote they cast for Reams. He delivered some hard blows on ring rule. When the candidates had finished speaking, County Chairman Eby took certified copies of the County Clerk's re port and in a kindly manner showed Starkweather is right; but if Mr. Zinser thinks differently, it would be well for him to obtain a written promise from the State Superintendent that he will do more for the schools of the county under a Republican administration than under Democratic rule. We shall glad ly publish such a written promise in our next issue if Mr, Zinser will furnish a copy. Another Pljneer at Rest. By the death of Daniel Grim. Clacka mas county loses one of her oldest pio neers. Uncle Dan. as be has been called by all for so many years, was born in Ohio, in 1833. With his parents he re moved to Iowa in '44, and crossed the plains to. Oregon in '52 He settled on a Donation Land Claim at Damascus, in this county, in 1853, where he lived until tin death, which occurred on May 13, 1904. In 1869, he married Miss Marv Fa- galde, who died in 1881. Four child ren survive bim. Ihey are Frank Grim. of Meadowhrook ; Mrs. E. Rusk, of Port Kenyon, Cal. ; Mrs. Georire Williams, of Metdowbrook: and Mrs. L. 1. Proctor. of View, Wash. In the deitli'of Mr. Grim, the ranks of the well-known pioneers of Oregon suf fer another diminution. He was one of those who has made history, in the de velopment of the resources of a wilder ness into the fertile fields of our beauti ful Oregon. lbe remains were interred at Damas cus, near the land be settled on more than 50 years ago. Baseball at Canby. The Canby Baseball Club went to Hubbard lust Sunday and returned vic torious by a score of 8 to 5. The fea tures of the game were the batting of Willard Knight, who made two three- base hits and two two-baggers, and also of the pitching of Clande Baty. who struck out nine of the Hubbard team. All the members of the Canby team played gnod ball and deserve the credit of a victory. When Canby goes abroad to play it has always played only plavers whose homes were in or near Can by, and does not have to send to other towns for players. Canby battery, Claude Baty and Zeek; Hubbard, battery, Kin. zer. Fox and Jons; struck out by Fox, 2; by Baty, 9; umpire, Harvey liinkie. Canby Will Celebrate. Don't forget that the city of Canby is going to celebrate July 4, this year, in a first-class style. This is a citizens' move' ment, as the selecting of officers was done by ballot in an open meeting called by the city council, and the meetings of he committee are open lor visitors. They will have good music and amuse munti of all kinds. In making your plans a trip on July Fourth, don't forget that the Canby people will make you the best time. ings at same low rate. All work I.

He showed that figures produced by the opposition were not cor rect and gate its representative present a chance to explain, which chance was not taken. He Bhowed the claim that the Sheriff's and Clerk's offices are being run more economically than under the Democratio Fusion regime, to be with out foundation j that those offices are costing $100 per month more than for merly. The meeting was a rousing success in every respect. Many more of the same kind will be held in the county before the 6th of June. A meeting was held at Wilsonville yesterday, but too late for a report to reach the Courier before going to press. Advertised Letters.
