Were the "League's" real purpose one and the same as its ostensible purpose it might beoome of some use in advancing the general interest in Western Oregon But it was originated for the puipose of furthering certain political ambi tious and, the sum of its accomplish ment, if it ever achieves anything, vrill be the foisting on the people of some tricky, worthless omoiais ana the enactment of some buuglesome legislate 11 intended to defeat hones legislate n demanded by the public. Along this latter line the League is circulating petitions for the en actment, by the initiative, of a tax law, the alleged purpose of which is to raise state revenue lv means of an indirect tax; the real .purpose of which is to defeat the initiative law, under charge ot the Grange, propos ing a tax on the earnings of telephone and telegraph corporation of large earning capacity that practically es cape taxation. The "Developmout League's" tax law was prepared by a committee ap pointed by E. Hofer, who is tiie "big thing" in the League. The corpo rations that would be hard hit by the Grange tax law are. in all pro bability, responsible for this Hofer sohome. Are tln'KB corporations expected, in rtturu for this offort iu their be half, to aid Hofer to elect his right hand .nan, Walter L. Toosse, Con gressman? Hofer, Tooze & Co. seim, alter all, to be the "Oregon Develop nioiit Loi.guo. " Can these tricksters fool the people? Can they, with their bungling, nnenforoible tax law de feat the honest endeavor 01 the Grange .to secure a law imposing a txa on what is commonly known as Intangible property? Let the Grange look to it that its measure be not side-tracked by this subtle scheme. Let the Grange take oare that its tax law, whon enacted, be not uullilUed br the subteifugu fattened by Hofer, Tooze & Co, League. CLACKAMAS COUNTY MINES. ClhckamaK county is believed by many to have abundant mineral re sources. Thoro is a geuoral effort on the part of meu hero, whose inclina tion runs toward mining, to demon strate what has long boon surmised. All encouragement is due them. They spend thoir money and their timo in an effort which, should it be orowned with ultimate success, would prove of inestimable ! value to the whole community. Many residents of the county have holdings fin tho local mining com panies. It $hy expect to realize on tiioir investment they aro also entitled to credit for stepping ", outside the "sure thing" rut. If they do not rely groatly on dividends from their ven ture they are entitled to Btill more credit for contributing toward the exploration of mineral sections in tho hopo that goiiiewhnro in the local ity a great. Industry may Bprlng up. Some people are inclined to take considerable credit to themselves for their wisdom and shrowdness iu avoiding mining enterprises. A large poreutago of the wealthy men of the Uuitod States, '.fortunately for them selves, lacked ,this peculiar sort of wisdom and shrewdness, better known as "cold feet." Mining, like eveiy other vocation, is an uncertainly. It is also a legitimate enterprise. In this county it is entitled to every en couragement. MISFITS. Nr.

THIS IS FOR YOUR BENEFIT Plan to Compile Brands and Marks of Stock." We propose to compile in book form the name of every stock owner we can secure, .together with his marks, brands and postoffice address. Before wecan publish such a book, however, we must have the necessary inform ation, and we ask every ' farmer in Clackamas county to send as 'tis soon as possible his (1) name, (2) postoffice address, (3) marks, (4) bran (is. Just as rapidly as this information reaches os,',. we will make the neces sary classifications. If your mark or brand is the same as the man who lives not far away, we will notify you promptly and a slight alteration may be made, which will avoid prob able confusion because of a similarity. Such a woik as we propose to pro duce would be of immense benefit to this county and its stockmen. While we cannot put a price on IX' at this time, we believe we can sell it for 25 or SO cents, and Btill realize a small profit on our work. How many farmers have fed an other's cow or horse for davs because he had no means of ascertaining the owner. Some of you have purchased stolen cattle, and hundreds have jour neyed miles in cold and rainy weather iu search of stock. A stray animal comes to your place ; you look at his marks or brands, refer to your book and get the name and postoffice address ot the owner, then telephone or write him ao once and he will come after his property. You can readily see the benefit ot this work. You are under no obliga tions to buy. i'irst of all we need the information. Fill out the following form and mail to us, and ask yoar neighbors to do the same. Tbe only case on record where the beet and cane sugar men have gotten together is in their opposition to a re duction of the Philippine tariff. FINAL QUIETUS ON EXTRAVAGANCE Well Known Democrat Argues For the fclection of Honest and Capable Wen. OREGON CITY. Jan. 17.-(Editor of The Courier. 11 am couiulimeuted by the socKestiou, in the last issue of The Courier, of my name in connec tion with thn office of state treasurer, but lest some ot my frieuds may be under misippi'uiiensioii, let me say that I am not a candiilato for that or any other on ce of honor or profit. My only political desiro is to see honest and capable men put up and elected to office, and a liual quietus put upon extravagance and giat't iu political administrations. v The graft system which has been practiced so openly for years is now being fought by the better element of both the old parties, who are getlii ft tired of dishonesty, false pretens s and high taxis, until we may all hope foi better things. It. is eidtut that the general publio are beginning to want a change iu affairs and a higher standard in politics, which can ho attained only by electing men of smi ling honesty. I sincerely trust that this reform will continue until the offices will all be held by men, regardless of puny, who have some interest in the people, their constituents, and that the word "graft" may beoome obsolete. Very truly yours, ' 0, D. LATOUUKTTE. MUELLER CASE COMPROMISED. Father Pays Son $500 Loan and Suit. Is Dismissed.

Howell, .'of the City Water Commission, has - men at. work blasting out the side of the bluff fronting1 Third street and will run a 10-inch water main np the side of the bluff. Already. the new main has been laid frtira the filter plant to the corner of Main and Third streots, and from there to ' the base of the. bluff. Mr. Howell fonnd it necessary to blast all the way from Main street to tberailfiad tr ,cks and will take away (our feet ot rock to provide a place for the main whioh will he en cased in a box. The con mission has undergone some difficulty for several sunimers'Di.st on account of having Only a s'x-iuoh water main on the hill. This was insufficient to provide the consumers, aud some months ago the water commission determined to i dd a ten-inch main, whioh will be run from the pumpi ig station to Third aud Center streets, aud next summer will be extended to the reservoir, a distauot of about one mile from the filter plant. The tew main will rep resent an outlay of about $7000. Colleotor Brace O. Curry and Su perintendent Howell have been for several days re-examining tbe town for the purpose of adjusting the rate. There has been no ex .ruination made of the city for probably eight years, and some inequalities have already been discovered.
