BREED GOOD HORSES.
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."

For a ions time tho C.:ar had

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.

BURNED OFF HIS TROUSERS.
Otto F. Olsen Has Narrow Escape at
Electric Station.
Escaping with the loss of his trous
ers, mustache and eyebrows, Otto F.
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."
Plenty more woof like this from
O-egou City people. Call at Dr. C.
Or. Huntley's drugstore and ask what
his customers report.

MORE BLOODED STOCK.
Stafford Farmers Form Syndicate and
Buy Percheron Stallion.
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

tion dil 'unch to give Oregon farmers
the true idea of the value of blooded
stock.
