Spencer Clapham, autnor, statesman, lecturer and journalist of New Zealand, has been spending some time in Oregon and the West, eni eoi ally in visiting the universities, and colleges. Professor Clapham was the Commissioner frwi his native lttnd to the late Lewis and . Clark Exposition and was one of the most interesting men at the Exposition to meo' person ally. He is very enthusiastic regarding the future of his country. "Se t government -is . not aiheory; with us it is a glorious reality," he declared in an address before the state university at Eugene. The New Zea landers seem to have solved some of the knotty problems of government in 1 a very satisfactory way. i The first wbite.settlements in New Zealand were mads by people from I England. Scotland and Ireland, the English predominating. ' These English w- people aimed to 'found a fine aristocracy and divide r the land into large tracts to be held among themselves,, much as was the ! case in France in feudal days. I This move practically excluded p3ople froJi the possibility of land ownership, and placed the balance of : power in the liana of the wealthy class. The inevitable conflict be tween the two classes took plaou in the years between 1880 and , 1890. Iu 1890 the commons won their first point ' and in 1890 thy established a prac tical democratic government. Wher ever the people saw a wrong they rinhted it. even if they had to ahange the constitution to remove some pro hibition, The two men who have done the most for New Zealand are John Steadin and W. P. Reeves. The government has taken over the man agement of the railroads and tele graphs and has proved its ability to handle them. The government loans money to its suhjeots at four and one half per cent. Professor Olaphara will lecture in Willamette hall Tuesday evening, February 20, at 8 o'clock. An admis sion fee of 25 cents will be charged to defray expenses. ': The boss of the United States senate from Rhode Island' nominates either fit. Hoarst or Mr. Bryan for the preB lidency in 1908. Neithor of these men would probably hesitate to make the rao if Seuator Aldrioh should be Dominated on the opposite ticket. A Habit to Be Encouraged. The mother who has acquired the habit of keeping on hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves herself a great amount of uneasiness and anxiety. Coughs, colds and oroup. to which children are suscepti ble are quickly cured by its use. It counteracts any tendenoy of a cold to result In pneumonia, and if given as soon as the first symptoms of croup aDpear, it will prevent the .attack This remedy contains nothing injuri ous and mothers give it to little ones witn a feeling of perfect security.

Interest will cease on such warrants on the date of this notice Oregon City, Oregon, February 9th, 1908. .BJNU8 (JAHIJUj, Troas. of Clackamas County, Oregon. LOGAN. .; Grant B. Diniick spoka at the Grange hall February 10. He gave a very thorough explanation of the pri mary law aud answored . iiiany ques tions from inquisitive votera He was prepared to register voters and several took advantage of the opportune. The audience was not vtry large, ow ing to inadequate notice. Incident allyhappening to think of it he announced his candidacy for the posi tion of county judge, and gave his platiorm, promises and the reasons he is after the place. He promised reg ular examination : aud immediate re pair of all improved roads, as being mi re economical and satisafctory than the present way of repairing . once a year or not at all. He also said th.it roads should be built and repaired whether they lead to Oregon City or not, as farmers must have a marget, and Oregon City is not a market, two hogs be ng enough to till the demand. He said the county judge should be a lawyer, as if not, his legal advisor would be iu.a position to charge ex horbitaut fees in settling estates and thus wax wealthy, as has been done in this and other counties. At the close of the ex-mayor's Address, he said: "I have met my old friend aud schoolmate andinvited hi in to be pre sent At one time, while traveling in Marion county, 1 heard a noise, us of dis'ant thunder and askbd aman what' made the noise. 'Oh," that's. 'Walter Tooze making a political speech about two miles awaii' " Whatever Mr. Tooze may lack in other ways of im press ng his hearers as a fit man to rupri sut Oregon at Washington (and this s6iun considerable to a humble Democrat,) he certainly is not lacking in force at delivery. He said that the farmers' great need is competing lines of railroads aud to that end he was in favor of developing Ooos and Yaquina harbors. He )& a Granger ana in favor of the 'Grange t x law, saying that he wrote a "nice, gentle manly letter to The Courier on the subject," seeming to imply that the Count r did not return: the favor in kind. He is very much in favor of clean politics, and would take it even in Church on Sunday. He said that assailing a man's character, when he runs for office, is an American privil ege, pleasure and weakness.- The keynote of his address seemed -to he, "Dp not believe all you hear." He might have added, "all you read," tor a Republican paper of Newberg has sent copies to Republicans here, attacking his record. He did not mention The Courier's charge that he travels on a pass. An ent.husiastio meeting of llie Lo gan M. B. A. lodge was held on tlie 9th. State Manager W. J. Applegate and A .M.
