DOES HE MEAN US?
The Enterprise is not conducting a
seed gtore but in the last two months
we have distributed among the good
people of Clackamas county several
hundred packages of garden seeds.
These seeds are sent to the Enterprise
annually from Washiutgon, D. C,
and their distribution hns never been
conditioned on your becoming a sub
scriber to this paper or the payment
of a year's back subscription. The
seeds cost us nothing and we are
pleased to present them to readers of
the Enterprise or others who may call,
all ot whom are welcome so long as
the now limited supply lasts. Oregon
City Enterprise.
The seeds cost the Enterprise noth
ing. They cost the people millions of
dollars ard represent one of the many
useless government extravagances.
They are dealt out by the car load to
senators and representatives who par
cel them out by the mail-sack full to
their lieutenants, and these lieuten
ants distribute them wherever they
think they will do the machine the
most good. We, thought Mr. Brown
ell controlled this vote-purchasing
commodity in this county and were
not aware tluit the proprietor of the
Enterprise shared it with him.
It is commonly understood that con
tractors work off on the government
thousands of bushels of old seeds and
that those who plant thorn lose their
labor and the use of their grounds.
If experiments in Clackanius county
Lave given different results we would
be glad to hear about it.
The Courier contracted with a rep
utable seed dealer to furnish an as
sortment of 85 packages of seeds, the
ordinary price of which would range
from fl to $1.50. Iu order to stimu
late subscriptions the Courier has been
giving one of those 'assortments free
to each new subfceriber. We lose money
on these subscriptions but advertisers
know the value of a large circulation
and are wlliing to pay increased
prices for advertising.
The insinuating paragraph quoted
above is a rather cowardly attack.
We presume it springs from jealousy
occasioned by the Courier's rapidly
increasing 'subscription liBt. It is
cowardly because it oarries its moan
ing by inuendo and insinuation.
Such methods come up to the Indian
standard of warfare.
PEQARDINQ ROADS.
The correspondent from the High
land country culls to mind the de
plorable condition of roads in the out
lying districts of Clackamas county.
The general policy of road building
that has prevailed for some years has
pretty generally met the approval of
the people. One of the principles
adopted hits been the construction of
first cluss "trunk linos" and best im
provement of roads as thoy nearod the
market. This lust 011 the theory that
the farmer with a loaded wagon could
travel a difficult road a short distance
while his team was fresh and would
come into the improved road as his
team begun to grow weary.
The puoplo living in distant parts of
the comity, however, were only sat
islled to have their roads neglected
with the expectation that it would be
a tomporary condition. This corres
pondent remarks that the Highland
country has boen settled fifty years.
This is the fact and those people have
waited ti long time for a passable
highway to market. It is time now to
connect thiscouuty bylpassablo roads
with the improvod roads leading to
the market. This applies also to the
numerous outlying districts in Clack
amas oounty. Such improvements as
these oonio before an expenditure of
(16,000 for a bridge acrosathe Clacka
mas river. They seem to us to ,be the
next thing in order. We would all
LTgld 0 rootho county pull out of
debt. IWodo not all see the justice,
however, lot closingtho purse that
these districts havejholped faithfully
to fill, jnst as it isjcomiugjtheirtime
ot reap 'some of. the rewards for pa
Fumtly coutributing'aiid waiting.
SOCIALIST ORGANIZATION.
The Socialist party in Clarkanwg
county is coutempiatiiiga compart,
thorough organization. These men
have their hearts wrapp0p ;in their
theories. This kind of enthusiasm is
contagious.
Do yon believe that the Democratic
party advocates the true principles of
government that should prevail in this
Republic? Do you fold your hands
ard say "Let things go as they will?"
If you do you are not a good citizen.
You are also a very unsatisfactory sort
of a Democrat. Too many people
never experience an interested feeling
in governmental affairs until Jthey get
an itch for office. Those are just tne
fellowb that flop to the patry in
power, whatever that party may hap
pen to be.
If you are a Democrat take an in
terest in Democracy's plans and pur
poses. Acquaint yourselves with its
principles thoroughly that you may
impart its teachings to yonr neighbor.
Do you know that the Socialist has
his whole faith at his tongue's end?
He is watchng always to win your
neighbor who has formed no convic
tions and your other neighbor who is
a faltering, uncertain Democrat, to
his way of thinking. If you believe
your party is right you must believe
that some day its doctrine will pre
vail. Your labor should be to hasten
the day.
LEAKN TO READ.
Perhaps yon don't like to read.
Teaeh yourself so to do. It is the best
piece of work you can ever do for
yourself, no matter what your walk
in life: and the public library affords
unsurpassed facilities for doing it
cheaply.? Few read books much with
out learning to love 'them, arlfew
love them without wanting to own
them. Indulge that hankering. It is
a good sign. Some people are too
poor to buy books, but in this country
of high wages aDd 'cheap literature
they are few, not numerous. Smoke
fewer cigars. Take the money you
thus save and put it in books. Any
good book gives ploaeure. The pleas
ure is greater when the book is the
reader's own. There are few sensa
tions more agreeable than those of a
book lover watching his little library
grow. '
FOR THE SENAT0RSHIP.
Dr. M. O. Strickland has entered
the arena to battle for the state sena
torship. The doctor has taken a com
mendable course. We are to have
direct primaries next spring and can
didates .should give the people a
chance to get acquainted with them.
Perhaps the day of eleventh hour
slates is past. Let us hope it is. Un
doubtedly the doctor is convinced
that he can stand a long and search
ing fire or he would not have entered
the lists this early.
WHITEWASH.
Among the Redland items in last
week's "Courier," we read the fol
lowing: "For an Al job of whitewashing,
go to A. M. K. ."
Mr. K may find an overwhelming
demand for his services by applying
to the manager of the , Republican
party in Oregon. There are some half
a hundred bright lights of that insti
tution that are sadly in need of an ex
port in that line.
GRANGE NEWS.
The "Courier" takes considerable
pride in kooeping Grange news before
the people. We publish a paper read
widely among the farmers, and the
Orange is a farmors' institution. We
have faith in its working a great ben
efit for the agricultural population.
You will notice lots of Grange news
in the Courier. We hope the secretar
ios of the various Oranges will see to
it that all Grange news is sent iu.
NOW FOR BASEBALL.
The recent sunny days reminded us
that baseball days wore close at hand.
We welcome the returniug enthusiasm
for tho best of American Bports.
Other games have their day for a time ;
other sports come ond go. Baseball
is the oldest and youngest and best of
them all.
Hives are a terrible torment to the
little folks, and to some older ones.
Easily cured. Doau's Ointment never
fails. Instant lelief, permanent cure.
At any drug store, 50 cents.

WHY DO YOU COUGH?
Do you know that a little cough is
a dangerous thing? Are yon aware
that it often fastens on the lungs, and
so far too often runs into Consump
tion aud ends iu death. Can you
afford to trifle with so serious a mat
ter? Acker's English Kemedy for
coughs, colds aud consumption is be
yond question the greatest of all mod
ern remedies. It will stop a cough iu
one night and it will check a cold iu
a day. It will prevent croup, relieve
asthma and oure consumption. Our
faith in it is so strong that we guar
antee every bottle to give satisfac
tion or money back. Huntley Bros. Co

Miss Florence E. Kenan, 434 Maria street, Ottawa, Ont., writes :
"A few months ago I caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs and re
mained there so persistently that J became alarmed. I took medicine without
benefit, until my digestive organs became upset, and my heed and back began
to ache severely and frequently,
"I was advised to try Peruna, and although 1 had little faith I felt so sick that
I was ready to try anything. It brought me blessed relief at once, and I felt
that I had the right medicine at last.' Within three weeks I was completely
restored and have enjoyed perfect health since.

Few women escape.
Upon the first symptoms of catching
cold Peruna should be taken. It forti
fies the system against colds and ca
tarrh. Pe-ru-na for Colds and Catarrh.
The following Interesting letter gives
one young woman's experience with
Peruna:
Miss Rose Gerbing, a popular society
woman of Crown Point, Ind., writes :
"Recently I took a long drive in the
country, and being too thinly clad I
caught a bad cold which settled on my
lungs, and which I could not seem to
shake off. I had heard a great deal of
Peruna for colds and catarrh and I
bought a bottle to try. I am pleased
that I did, for it brought speedy relief.
It only took alwut two bottles, and I
consider this money well spent.
"You hare a firm friend in me, and I
not only ad visa Its use to my friends.
Charted With Violating Sunday Law.
Ernest Case, proprietor of a local
barber shop, is under arrest, charged
with violating the Snnday closing
law. Case came here last October and
opened a 10-cent shop, the only one
in the city, and nnion barbers have
for a time suspected him of shaving
on Sunday. They communicated their
suspicions to Secretary T. A. Leabo,
of the Portland Barber's Union, who
inaugurated a scheme to catch Case.
Last Sunday two Portland barbers,
with a week's growth of beard, came
to Oregon City garbed as loggers, and
going to Case's establishment obtained
shaves. Mr. Leaoo swore to a com
plaint in the justice court against
Case, who was arraigned Monday
afternoon in the justice court and
pleaded not guilty. The case will be
tried before a jury next Friday after
noon at 1 :80 o'clock. Case is repre
sented byDimick & Dimick.

that it has brought about a speedy cure

Gerbing.
Pe-ru-na Contains no Karootics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is t hat
it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe
runais perfectly harmless. It own be
used any length of time without acquir
ing a drug-habit. Peruna does not pro
duce temporary results. It is permanent
in its effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
a multitude of homes where Peruua has
been need off and on for twenty years.
Such a thing could not be possible if
Peruna contained any drugs of a nar
cotic nature.
