THE 0. W. P. & RY. CO. FRANCHISE.
The Courier has refrained from edi
torial comment on the franchise now
under consideration by the people of
Oregon City. The attitude of this
papor toward the company has been
so bitterly hostile that its readers
would naturally think a stand by it
for the franchise had been bronght
about by improper influences and they
would vory likely consider that a po
sition -against the franchise did not
come from an unbiased consideration
of its merits. Under such conditions
the Courier realizes that what it
might say would be of little effect.
This paper has, accordingly, held
its columns open to all who cared to
discuss the question through the press.
We will say, however, that the
question before the people is a very
serious one. There will be many
rotes cast on it that are actuated by
unisons of mere self-interest. We ask
the voter to consider the matter ser
iously and carofully ; to consult ana
advise with men who are substantial,
dependable citizens and who always
act from proper motives., aod above
all to realize that whatever is best for
lie town is best for each one who
lives in it. I
Every voter has a great responsibil
ity on such occasions as this. We are
growing into a system under whioh
the action of our representatives may
at any timekbe referred back to the
people. Should experiment show that
the people will not give these matters
enough attention to deoide them prop
erly, we will certainly go back to the
old and corrupt system of representa
tive govoriijient.ldeprived of ohe right
to an appoal to the people. If every
voter will act from a high motive and
with his best judgmeuttbere will be
fow mistakes at popular elections,
such as the one to be held on the 80th
of this mouth.
This is a business question between

CLACKAMAS TO THE FRONT.
Schmidt Bros., of Shubel, took the
premium at the Exposition with their
bloododjsheop. This in competition
with the wholo United States, wmm,
is equivalent to competition with the
world, is a feather in -r.hn no,, .
Clackamas county.
Schmidt Bros, are among those who
want a county fair for f!lobmoo
They realize that a commnnitv in

adaptibility to profitable farming,

suits, must furnish first-class products
and must show them to the

George Lazelle, with his hinn,iu,i
cattle, also won out and carried home
a number of medals.. We should liko
to have a letter from Mr. Lazelle hp.
ting out the points which recommend
his stock ;;for the Valley. Also his
ideas regarding the advisnhint f
holding a county fair next year.
tsut bchmidt Bros, and Mr. Lazelle
are not "all the people," either.
Mrs. E. L. Johnson exhibited a nnnma
of prizes babies one at the Exnnsi-
tion, and one at'The Oaks. So, for
the present, Clackamas county has no
more worlds to conquer. Let us throw
up our hats!
I
j Prince Louis of Battenberg will not
fail to pay a visit to the United
! States, after all. Once more there is
joy among the tuft-hunters.
Congress may be unable to find time
( to revise the tariff or to enact railway
rate legislation, but, according to
Senator Lodge and 'other leaders, it
i will "not fail to "appropriate a few
billions for ship subsidies.
The people of Delaware have the
public press o thank for the final de
feat of Gasman Addicks. There are
times when publicity works charms.
New York has lived to see its idol,
Chauncey Depew, turned to clav.
They have even named a five-cent
cigar after him.

TWO RUNAWAYS IN A DAY.
Wagon of Willamette Farmer Takes the
Narrow Way.
AS WE SEE IT.
In another column we print an ed
itorial from the "Daily Statesman,"
of Salem. It reminds one of the nro.
erbial bird befouling "its own nest.
In attempting to belittle the' country
editor, the "Statesman presumes, " no
doubt, that its little circle of readers
is ignorant of the fact that it is but
a one-horse country sheet of less than
average merit.
The country press criticized tlm
metropolitan dailies for occasional
;abs that amount to a misrenresfinrn.
tion and that tend to lower the nuh.
lie's estimation of Oregon journalism.
This piping voice of the "Statesman "
will not place it in a class that it cer
tainly does not hope to reach on merit.
The country press that has heretofore
acknowledged it as a weak Sister will I
eagerly accept the opportunity to dis
own it.
AVOID THE PEDLARS.
SERVE ALL THE PEOPLE.
The plank on numerous county
roads is giving away.Jmaking passage
overborn very difficult. Residents
of remote parts of the county are
dreadmg the coming Winter rains that
will shut them in with impassable
roads. The County Court has not
felt able to provide passablo thorough
fares for these farmers who are in so
muoh need of them. If the court con
siders economy necessary and is hon
est in its opinion, these farmers will
wait patiently.
Residonts along the South bank of
the Clackamas have a splendid mod
ern road to Oregon City, as well as
10 Portland. Can our County Court
grant this luxury while other sections
of the comity are in aotual need of
improvements? It is absurd. Of
course the residonts along the Clacka
anis would like the bridge-no one
blamos them or would oxpoct.anythiug
else. It is to thoir personal' iutorest.
They expect .other localities to look
out for themselves. But every 'sec
tion of the county looks to the County!
It is a matter of surprise that ned-
lars should be able to go among the
residents ot Oregon City and find so
many ready tc be duped on tainted
hams Competition is close between the
doalors here and eatablos are handled
on a close margin. Pedlars are a good
tiling to avoid. Their customers sel
dom profit by pationizing them ; they
are very often defrauded. Men who
drift into jtown for a day in order to
sap a little money out of it are a det
riment to all of us. Many of them
never expect to be seen here again and
they are indifferent as to whether an
article sold by them is worthless.
The local business man helps you,
though it may be in an indirect way.
It is best to keep this in mind when
smooth tongued strangers come
around.
SHAFTS OF LIGHT. .
The kindest treatment whioh the
press oan aocord to "Nan" Patterson,
once more Mrs. Martin, is to forget
her.
Vienna is to celebrate the OOtli an
niversary of the invention of the
Frankfurter sausage by John Lahner, 1
next week. ;The Vienna canines ought '

- John A. Moehnke.a local real estate
-dealer, met with some inconvenience
Friday from a runaway. rie left his
horse tied about a mile beyond the
Parkplace hill, when the animal took
fright and bolted. At the top of the
hill, ;the buggy went over the em
bankment into a canyon and smashed
to pieces. The horse ran down the
hill n cfroal rtf m..,n.nrj i:nl...:

I Team and wagon belonging to a Ger
j man farmer of Willamette were the
participants in a runaway in this city
Friday. Starting from the Southern
