EXHIBIT IS REMARKABLE
Clackamas County Shows
Fruits, Vegetables and
Grain in Fine
Display.
Oregon has proved to the worid, or
at louht to that generous part ot the
world which is visiting; the Lewis and
Clark Exposition this summer, that
the hostess Btate has agricultural re
sources which place it 111 tlie front
rank Of the commonwealths that are de
pendent tor their wealth on the rich
ness ot the soil. The exhibits made
by the state of Oregon as a wholo, and
by a large proportion of the several
counties in thu state, in the Pultiee
of .Agriculture and Horticulture at
the Westeru World's Fair, are nuiform
ly excellent, and the products dis
played are iu themselves so remark
able, and are so tastefully and ad
vantageously arranged, that the effect
is deoidedly pleasing. A majority of
the people who visit the big fair are
interested in the couutry whose prog
ress it exemplifies, and all have ad
mired the showing which the various
counties have made. 4
As is natural, Oregon ooenpies the
commanding position in the Agricul
ture building, the grain and forage
crop displays being arranged about, a
central pryamid, which towers toward
the lofty dome that crowns the build
ing. Tho pryamid contains a repre
sentative showing, ana lias heou much
admired. Cores, the goddess -of
grains, done iu staff, occupies the top
of the lofty pedestal.
The frit showing made by the state
occupies a large spat) just north of t
the pyramid. The fruit is displayed
in almost prodigal abundance, . tor
the most part on plates, and the dis
play interests everyone. Southern
Oregon and Wasco, Clackamas and
Marion counties have contributed Iub
cioub peaches. There are plums and
prunos from Clackamas and Marion
counties, strawberries from Clatsop
and Ashland, and nectarines from
Umatilla. Cove, Union comity, has
sent some beautiful cherries, aud
there are Burtlett pears from Juckson
county, prunes from Polk, Red As
trakhan apples from Columbia, two
branches heavily loaded with prunes
from Russellville, and apples from all
parts of the state thut wore collected
last year and preserved by cold stor

NtW LAW, A IN IN (J Y rAKMtKa
Country Residents Compelled
Here for License.
Richard Ball, of Molalla, who was
in the oity Monday, gave voice to tho
almost unanimous sentiment of farm
ers living in the vicinity of Molalla
and Wilhoit, concerning some of the
legislation affecting hunters, enacted
by the last legislature. The auuual
license for resident hunters is causing
great annoyance in that section, nnd
farmers who desire to make a trip into
tho mountiiis must firBt come to' the
county Beat and pay $' to the county
clerk. This money goes into the state
treasury, and is used for tho protection
of game.
The hiw that prohibits running deer
with liound9 is also objoctionahlu to
the farmers, as is tho close season for
deer. The open season for buck deer
commenced August 15 and ends No
vember 1, and the open season for
killing female deer begins Suptembor
1 and closes November 1. Mr. Ball
says that deer have never been slaiu
in large numbers by tho settlers, but
that the cougars kill many. Only a
few miles from his place, tho vr
mints abound, and one may find count
less nuiiihors of bones of doer that
were killed by cougars last winter.
By reason of the uow laws, farmers
have made no effort to kill off the
cougars, and, he thinks there should
be a bounty placed upon them. Last
season 13 calves were killed by cou
gars, and domestic- animals ha e : 0
protection.
Indian Henry, a well known Indian
hunter of the Molullas, expresses hip
contempt of the law, and wonders
why the white man shonld enact such
a law. It is a well known fact that
an Indian will not kill for soort, and
after he has secured Ihe game that 1 e
wants for his own use, he wlil hunt
no further. The same is true with an
Indian when flailing.
The trial of Russell and Shafer,
which is set for Soprembor 6, has
aroused the curiosity of all the people
of Molalla and tho snrroonding coun
try, and a vigoroos effort will bo
mado by Attorney C. D. Latourette
and George C. brownell to clear the
accused men.

TALKS POLITICS AT CANBY
Clackamas Senator is Sure' of
fe-clection to State Sen
ate and Would Go
Higher.
1 "Ar,ter 1 am elected to succeed my
I self as state senator from Clackamas
county, 1'xhall become a candidate for
the United States senate. "
jJUnder the shadow of indictmeuts
t.r subordnatiou of perjury by a fed
eral grand jury, George 0. Brownell.
superomoly confident of his grasp on
Clackamas county, made the above
announcement at a picuio Saturday at
Oauby. Brownell was one of the
speakers of the occasion, aud, as us
ual, held the closest attention of his
audience, gathered from in and about
Canby. He told them that character
was the crying need of the people, and
that the political system was faulty.
His spoeoh was on the spread eagle
order, and the announcement of his
candidacy to succeed himself was not
unexpected.
Colonel Hofor, editor of the Salem
J utnal, talked for an hour on various
topics. He roasted the methods of
the Oregon legislature, said that the
state treasurer should be placed upon
a flat salary, and interest on all state
funds loaned should go into the state
treasury.
"We would save from 120,000 to
$30,000 every year," said Mr. Hofer,
"if the exeoutive board ot the state
had the powor to transfer funds, to
avoid paying interest against one
fuud, when there might be a million
of idle money in other funds."
Mayor H. 0. Gilmore, of Canby,
presided at the . meeting. A basket
dinner was served at noon, and the
"fraternal picnio,"asit was desig
nated, was enjoyedjby those attending.

The movement started last April to
have a clean city has resulted in noth

have again been erected and slop
wagons are permitted to travel up
and down all streetB at any hour of
the day.
Early last April the Women's Olub
htarted the ball rolling for a olean
oity, and much interest was taken.
Members pledged themselves to do all
in their power to take a pride in the
cleaning up of property and to bring
persuasion to bear upon others. A
meeting was called and held in the
courthouse, where rousing speecltes
were mado in favor of any and all
kinds of civio improvement. It was

IN HANDS OF COMMITTEE
Board of Equalization to Meet
Next Monday, When Mat
ter Will Come up
for Discussion. ' '
County board of equalization has
been called together to meet next
Monday for tho purpose of equalizing
the assessment on Clackamas coiini)
property. Indge Ryan, Assessor Nel
son and Clerk Ureemnau comprise the
board, which is likely to have to do
with the spocial committoe of the
Board of Trade appointed to investi
gate the assessment ot the big corpor
ations of Oregon City. This commit- ,
tee is composed of J. U. Campbell, 0..
W. Eafltham and II. E. Cross.
It has been stated that while valua
tions were increased, the tnx of some ,
of the corporations was .-eally lowered, ;
as on Bome of the property the valua
tion was increased about one-half, and
at the same time the tax levy 'was cut
ID two.
"It is like this," said a prominent
member of the Board of Trade yester
day. "Supposing the Crown ''Paper
Company was assossed at f 100,000 and
paid a43-mill tax. -If itsassesBefi val- '
uatiou was increased to $150,000 aud
the levy reduced to 21 mills, the tax
of the company would naturally be
lower by $1050."
It is generally supposed that the
Board of Trade will make an effort to
have the assessed valuations of the
corporations increased, if an investi
gation proves that farm property of
the county has been increased ir as- "
sessed valuation to amounts out of '
proportion to the assesB'nont of the
milUand factories.
VISITORS ARE NF.0LECTED.
Eastern Homeseekers Not Shown the
Advantages of Clackamas County.
Failure to meet poople from other
places, mainly from Eastorn states,
who are looking around with ' a view
of securing homos, has caused adverse
00m 111 en t. Dozens of such people
come into Oregon Oity daily,, aud
there is no one to moot thorn and show
them the natural beauties of Clacka
mas oounty soil, save real estate
agents. . It has been suesoBted that
eaoh member of the Board of Trade
constitute himselfa reception commit
tee ana do the honors of the place to
visitors, as first impressions are often
lasting. The Board of Trade has" a
committee on reception but its mem
bers were evidently appointod for
special duties, suoh as the reception
ot high personages, who do not settle
In the oounty and who are not sock
ing homes.

doubtful that they could be taken care
of, and for that reason no effort was
made to send them here.
SAVE LOCKAGE CHARGES.
Bridge Will Connect Paper Mill With
Island.
Willnmette Pulp & Paper Company
is making an improvement that will
result in a saving of gevoral thousand
dollars a year in lockage charges. A
wooden bridge has been constructed
from the main plant to tho island, and
this bridge will later be roilaoedby
a permauout steel structun. During
high water, while power is plentiful,
huge quantities of pulp are manu
factured and packed in slabs on the
island. This will bo transported to
the paper mills over the new bridgo,
which will also be utilized to carry
cottonwood from the island. Hereto
fore the wood has been brought up
from the lower rivor and taken
through the locks,Nbut it will now be
landed on the island, and taken over
tho bridge.
Our Fair Is the Best.
Fred McMurray, of Newton, Iowa,
who is a well known auctioneer of
Iowa, and whoso name and work is
known throughout that state, with
his wifo, is hero visiting his cousins,
Superintendent Kliner Dixon, of the
poultry show at the Portland Fair,
and Mrs. Dixon. Mr. McMurray
makes annual trips to the Pacific
coast, and this is his third. He has
seen the world's fairs at Buffalo, Chi- '
cago and "Sr. Louis, and says that
while the Lewis and Clark Centennial
is not nearly so extensive as any of its
predecessors, it is a better Exposition
all around.
