Several lovers of good horses have purchased jointly the fine percheron stallion, Xenophon, We hone this is the hegiuniiif? of the era of better horses for Clackamas county. It is very no ticeable that only about one team out of twenty is a good one. Why is this so? Popsibly because people jiave got. ten into the habit of raising scrub horses. Possibly it conies from a false notion of economy. An inferior horse eats just as much as a good one He iB capable of doing but. halt as much work He is not worth half as much on the market. Horsemen would probably improve this condition by forming some sort of an association Goodjiorscs should be made tlie pride cf every farmor. We see men driving into town with 75 teams who own the finest. faruiH in the county. Its a shame. You can make them see its a shame. These men are to be commondod 'for bringing into the county this fine ani mal. Now let all admirers of good horses work in unison to encourage tho raising ot hotter horses. The first thing an Eastern farmer noticos are tho teams he sees driving into town. Lot us have better ones. CLACKAMAS MINES. The Oglo Mountain Mining Co. is welion the way toward proving the possibilities in the mining industry in Ohickatnas county. Poople are. pecul iarly skeptical about mines. Nothing is thought of a man's ouloring the morcautilo business, yet only about one out of live siucoofs in it. Porlmps the hazard is equally great in mining,' but success in tho latter has, as arulo, a greater reward. Profitable minus in Clackamas county would greatly further our .prosperity. A dh ersity of resources is sure to make a thrifty community. No one needs to invest in mines unless his inclination runs that way, but a "kuookor" is the worso thing to bo found in a com munity. A "kuookor" is not one who exposes fraudulent or unfairsohomes but one who, though ignorant of and ontiroly uninformed of the merits of an enter priso, seeks to discredit it. Thoro aro some of these around who are chronio "knockers" at it every day. Others aro just spasmodic at it when their digestion is bad. But you will al ways find lots of them when a mining proposition is under consideration. You can find them in every town. Some Clackamas county mon aro spending their money in developing an important Industry. Their suocoss would help us all. Why are men so pnrrow as to placo obstacles iu thoir way? Lot PB lvo an. end of such SAWMILL AT MILWAUKIE. There is talk of a largo sawmill at Milwaukee ami we hope the oitizous of that town will roa'izo th.ir expoo t ition. This is an exoellont location for such an enterprise. Real estate in Portland is too high for a lumber man ufacturer Insecure the necessary room. It is probable that traffic arrangements can bo made with the transportation "omprtiiies so as to Recnro for a mill at Milwankio all the advantages that might be hud in tho metropolis. At i ho same time the Mihvaukie location would save an immense sum in piu mring the necessary site, would save in taxes and would ho reasonably safe Irom fire. Mihvaukie is enterprising and will spare no etlort totocure the enterprise. Kvery such industry helps to build up Uaokanms county and Milwaukit's interest is the interest of all of us. Tho oldest town in Oregon has our good will and encouragement. Ponf mutes are said to bo more ox pert In tho manufacture of telephone Machinery than men with ordinary 'acuities. There are times when one is-lod to believe that they are em ployed us operators iu the "Central." Mrs. Mailable Child Dorr defines fio new woman as (lie woman who oi-Us for Uaces. yiie iimilit buve t.Vflnod her as the woman who works .or vn;;es ami gets them. The old one ..orked fur wa.ues hut they were never laid. For a ions time tho C.:ar had dr for tho crown. Now there kely to lie no crown for the heir. WHITMAN AND OREGON. The able Ultckaiuas correspondent told iu the last issue of the Courier briefly, the story of Whitman's rescue of - the "Oregon country" from Brit ain'o greed. This is a debated ques tion. A single man seldom turns the course of empire. Napoleon did not, though belief to the contrary is popu lar, nor did Wellington, nor Admiral Nelson. Popular movements usually have a central light. The name of a man or the names of a few men shine out iu the great dramas of human action. Around these will be woven the history of a people'sachievemout8, its conquests, its victories and its dis asters. A thousand heroos Jlie iu un marked gravos while one is remem bered at the halls of fame. Whitman's journey to Washington, of itself, would have been of little avail. A greater force was working out the unrovealed plan. The spirit of adventure, grown intense at the crit ical time, was leading men across the dosert, over the mountains, into the Western wilderness. Mr. Phillips knows the trials, the misery and the terror of those days. NTo doubt his memory returns often to the white- topped immigrant train. Perhaps he remenibors, here and there, a little mound on the lonely desert, and a mother looking for the last time on tho resting place of her little one. Heroism, forgetful of self, endures find suffers for a great cause. Mr. Phillips knows who were tlm Iieroos ot Hie "Forties" he knows who saved Oregon. We cherish the memory of Marcus Whitman. We revere the memory of those other Jpioneors rh endured the hardships of a frontior life and en dowed us witn a princely heritage with a land of abundant resources and splendid climate. They gave us Ore gon. So let the monument we rear to one of those stand for them all. SIGNS AT CROSS-ROADS. We are informed that one road su pervisor has had signboards prepared for all the crossroads in his district. This is a good example for all road su ervisors to follow. It is, in fact, a part of thoir duty. Of course farmers know the roads of their community but when they have occasion to travel in a distant part of the county they will realize the diffi culty a stranger experiences ill at tempting to make his wsy over un marked highways. Appropriate signs at every crossroad save anuoyauco and loss of timo. Tho supervisors should comply with tho law which requires that thoy erect these signs. If they neglect it then it homines the duty of the county court to require supervisors to attend to the requirements of tho law. A Methodist Bishop says that the future man will be part white and part black. That la what thoy are now 11 you knew them real well. According to the interviews with Secretary Taft since his arrival on the Isthmus, every prospect pleases ami only man is vile. Maybe the South would have not been so unanimous for the President during; his recent visit if he had not already announced that he was not a candidate for a third term. Mr. Cleveland got as far as Nebras ka, but who can say what might have happened to him if he had gotten as far as Colorado whore the women vote. A candidate for the legislature In a sea board state can speak to the voters in thirty-four languages, but five dollars in New York can speak all the dialects and never get out of breath. The Mutual Life Insurance Society must bo a benevolent society for Pres ident McCunly has applied to perfec tion the rule of philanthropy that charity begins at home, Tom Lawson has sued a western man for libel. He might have sued him for an infringement of his copy right at the same time. Cliicngii lias instituted a crusade amiiiist tblif uso of the tooth pick. Probably I'liicaso docs not oat Us own boot".

Olsen, superintendent of the power station of the Portland General Elec tric Company, was face to face with death late Friday afternoon. Mr. Olsen was attending to his duties at the station and was making an exami nation of the switchboard, when the wires were short-circuited, and he was painfully burned about the face, and the sudden ignition removed his eye brows and mustache. His trousers were stripped off by the electric cur rent, and his narrow escape Is nearly miraculous. The Superintendent came over to Oregon City to have his burns dressed, and his face Is altered to such an extent that his friends did not rec ognize him. His injuries are not se rious. DANGER IN DELAY. Prompt Action Must Be Taken to Pre serve Health. Kidney troubles are dangerous be cause they creep on so stealthily that thy get a firm grip on the victim be fore he is aware of it. They manifest themselves injmch varied forms that they are easily mistaken for other dis eases. Make no mistake. Do not delay. Treat the kidneys now. ine kidneys are sick and will not get well unless you use a kidney med icine. Doau's Kidney Pills the cer tain, safe and prompt remedy for the kidnevs only. It cures. Q S. Cooper, tanner, living three miles northeast of Salem, Or., on the Garden road, says: "i very often lifted honvy weights, but have since regretted having done so, as the result was that I strained my back and ever after had more or less trouble from dull, aching pains across my loins and other symptoms or kidney cou.plaint. Iu some way Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my notice and the first lime I went to town I dropped into a drugstore and inquired about them. I was told thevwere hiclilv rec ommended and advised to give thorn a trial. 1 did so. And while I did not follow the treatment as regularly as I should have done, being a poor hand to take any kind of nmdiciuo. the ben efit I derived from their use stamns them as a remedy which acts fully up to the representations made for it."

Clackamas connty .s likely to ob tain the reputation as the home of good horses in a few yoars, as several farmers' syndicates have been formed during the past year to purchase fine- tuoodod animals. The most recent of these is composed of T. L. Turner. James Thompson. George Kllieson, Samuel Mosher, William Sponoor and Mr. Jireiger, who reside in the vicin ity of S' afford. Theso gentlemen have purchased an imported Percheron stallion from Couch & Sons, and they paid the price of ftlOOO. The livestock show at the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion dil 'unch to give Oregon farmers the true idea of the value of blooded stock. Many children inherit constitutions weak and feeble, others due to child hood troubles. Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea will positively cure children and make them strone. 85 oentSj Tea or Tablets.
