There is now an apparent prospect of the passage by Congress of a ship subsidy bill. The present measure is a modification of the old scheme and proposes a subsidy on mall carrying vessels only. While this government bonus is os tensibly an Inducement to the build ing of new ships, the act is couched in such terms as to leave its advantages open to the Hill and Harrlman steam ship lines. In fact the act in itself is nothing more, nothing less than a government contribution to the trans portation enterprises of those two magnate and their associates. From another standpoint, however, there is more in the proposed meas ude than a paltry contribution by the government of three or four million dollars annually to these wizards of finance. The present bill is but the opening wedge. It Is hoped gradually to educate the people up to the sub sidy idea. By clever manipulation the steamtihip . lines ought within a few . years to draw a subsidy of forty or fifty millions annually from the U. S. Treasury. After the subsidy prece dent is once established the steam ship lines do not anticipate much dif ficulty in notching. up the apr-oprla-tlon a few millions each eyar. A majority of the present Senate that has alreudy practically accepted this ship subsidy bill must have adopted the teachings of a peculiar school of logic. This majority advo cates tariff law the natural effect of which Is to decrease importations and to hamper American shipping. This tariff is a tax which the consum er must pay. nut it would never do to let the steamship companies suffer, so the American consumer must again be taxed to pay a subsidy to steam ship lines. When will the United States senate cease to merit the name of "the Mil lionaires Club"? CONFESSIONS OF A SENATOR. Mr. Simon Guggenheim, the newly elected Republican senator from Col orado, is apparently determined that no one shall accuse him of gaining his seat by underhanded methods. With charming frankness he tells just how it was done. Without a blush he admits contributing to the campaign fund of the Republican members of the legislature so substantially that personal expenditure by them was unnecessary. He says: "There is nothing wrong about It. It is merely conducting po litical campaigns as they are conduct edin these days. ... It Is done all over the United Slates today. I do not consider Unit it Is wrong, nnd neither do I think that It can be in any sense called bribery." These re marks have been widely quoted, ami while few there be among the press who accept his conclusions, there are many who, like the Indianapolis Nows, think ho deserves some credit for be ing "most InnocontlyJ'rank." In his own statu, even in the legis lature which olocted him, his methods have been questioned. Uut by a largo majority in the Honnte strictly on a party division a motion to inquire into his election was tabled nnd ttnal ly stricken from tho. record. Apart from the discussion of how he came by the election, there is much favorublo appraisal of his qualifications to represent Colorado In tho senate. He is quoted as saying that he will take his seat not to rep resent tho smelting Interests, in which his family has become wealthy, but "as Simon Guggenheim plain cit izen to represent tho people of Col orado." And by both Christian and Jewish press ho Is acknowledged to bo a man of his word. The American Israelite (Cincinnatti) says of him: "For eighteen years Simon Guggen heim lias lived in Colorado, manag ing the vast affairs of tho smelter company, and in alt that time he has never broken his word, no matter to whom given, it is said. The only acts he lias ever tried to conceal from the public are his charities. He values men first for their honesty and then for what they know.

If he has a fad it Is the pride of his and the family's good name, and his ambition is the prac tical development of the great West." The Indianapolis Star quote these words of Mr. Guggenheim: "When I was a younger man I had the ambition to make myself independent. I have done that. I wanted independence that I might go into politics with free hands. Why shouldn't an Indepen dent man serve his country with all his wealth and all his heart as well?" "Could a poor man make any more manly or straightforward statement than this?" it asks, and continues: "Could a poor man make any more manly or stralghtfordward statement that this? Here is a man who has been successful In business and has provided abundantly for his family; he has proved himself philanthropic and in touch with progress in his own state. Why not credit him with an honest and sincere wish to give his talents at middle age to the service of his country for his country's sake? At least he should be given a chance to prove himself before being criticiz ed." Literary Digest. WHATEVER ELSE, NO HYPOCRITE It may be said of Senator Guggen heim and to his credit that he does not deny or endeavor to cover up the, methods employed by him in accom plishing his election. His own discus sion of the matter is not replete with hypocritcal protestations of public virtue. Election to the United States sou ate Is a matter of barter and will con tinue to be such until we have popu lar election of senators. A vote for the office purchased in legislature by the promise of remunerative appoint ment is not more honorably obtained than a vote purchased with cold cash. And for one consideration or the other votes for Unted States senator are usually obtained. Senator Guggenheim's admission of this condition Bhows that he has much respect for the truth and he would probably be among the first to advo cate legislation doing away with the disreputable practice of a state legis lature selling the office of United States senator to the highest bidder. CORPORATIONS CONTRIBUTIONS BARRED. The house has at last seen its way to pass the bill forbidding national banks and corporations organized un- ler the act of Congress to contribute to any campaign fund, and forbidding iny corporation to contribute money In connection with the election of the presidential electors, senators and representatives. President Roosevelt had twice rec ommended such a measure. The sen ate passed the bill last session, but the house in the pressure of business was not averse to letting one more congressional election be held under the old free-and-easy system. The bill affects even state elec tions involving the ultimate choice of a United States senator. Congress could go no further, it remains for tho separate states, as New York did last winter, to carry the work of election reform to its logical conclu sion by providing adequate corrupt practices acts and by enforcing them rigorously. Does Oregon City care enough about Its factories to keep those that are al ready doing business here and adver tising tho city by a class of goods that they turn out, or is it too sleepy to care? Does Oregon City care to advance toward thut standard of commercial Importance nnd prosperity that is Its natural right as tho county seat of olnckamas county, or Is it contented to stay In n rut? These are questions that ask them selves. Some of the professional politicians In Now York who took enthusiastical ly to the stump for Govornor Hughes no wondering now If they won't have to tako to the woods. Two widows have now appeared to ulaim the remains of the man who threw that bomb Into the Philadelphia iiiuik. According to ull accounts of the disaster thoro will bo hardly .-nough remains to go round. It is to be hoped for Mr. Hnrrinian's ;'aso of mind that he does not believe the things that are printed about him. It must be henrtreiulei'lng for the president to have invitations to deliv er more speeches that ho can possibly have time to accept. President Roosevelt has Swetten hummed the senate again. The minister was shocked when a young lady declined on introduction to some of his parishioners, "Why my dear young lady, did you ever think that perhaps you will have to mingle with theso people when you iet to heaven?" "Well," she exclaimed, "that will be soon enough." Life. WOULDN'T PAIN HER FOR THE WORLD. "Hello, old man; and how do you enjoy married life, eh? Ever have anv differences of opinion with your wife?" "Yes, but I don't let her know about them." Boston Transcript. OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1907 MAY LOSE FACTORY Oswald Furniture Company Has Offer. CORVALLIS PUTS UP BONUS Promises Free Rent and Five Thousand Dollars to Re moveOswald Un decided. Unless the merchants and the Board of Trade act at onco, Oregon City may lose one of Its prominent Industries. The Oswald Furniture Co., wheh occupies ground at the cor ner of 12th and Main streets is con sidering an offer to move its plant away from here to Corvallis. During the two years or more that the Oswald Furniture Co. has been turning out furniture here, business has steadily grown until tho present plant is inadequate to take care of the growing out-put. The company finds a market for most of its wares in Oakland and San Francisco, and since the fire has been taxed to it3 fullest capacity to supply the demand for its products in that market alone. Now it feels that it needs more acre age than the two lots, which It now occupies, and has been looking around for a site. It has at present orders on hand amounting to more than $15, 000, and is working overtime to catch up. The town of Corvallis feels the need of a plant of this kind and has offered a bonus of $5000 if the Oswald com pany will remove its business there, and will give in addition the factory formerly occupied by the carriage company of that place rent free, Mr. Oswald is undecided as to what he will do with this offer, which he con siders a very liberal one, and one wheh would mean greatly Increased facilities to his factory. "I don't like to leave Oregon City," said Mr. Oswald Tuesday morning"but I certainly need more room for my factory, and the bonus of $5000 is not to be overlooked. If I stay here I shall have to have a site that will give me more yard facilities than the two lots I now occupy, but whether I like Cor vallis $5000 worth, I cannot say as yet." Frank Busch, the owner of the site now occupied by the Oswald company, thinks that a concerted action by the merchants and business men of Ore gon City will result In keeping the factory here. He points out that the city cannot afford to lose this Indus try In the present state of its growth, and feels that this fact will be recog nized. WHISKEY AND A BUTCHER KNIFE Combination that Gets George Mack inaw in Trouble. George Mackinaw, who has been working in a wood camp near town, started in early last Friday morning to Imbibe whlBkey. By the afternoon he had reached the fighting stage, and concluded that four of his com rades were cumberers of the earth, and that he would be- doing a good deed to put them out of the way with a butcher knife. With this object in view he made things lively for the camp for a time. The men attacked did not seem to see things as Macki naw saw them, and came to town to lodge a complaint against him with Justice of the Peace Livy Stipp, charg ing him with assault with a dangerous weapon. Constable E. S. Ely drove'out to the camp and made the arrest, bringing the man back in his buggy. Macki naw objected very much to the hand cuffs, saying he would come peaceab ly. Constable Ely took them off, but Mackinaw changed his mind, and be came Imbued with tho Idea that it was his duty to put the constable out of business and make away with the rig. During the scuffle the servant of the law received a highly decorated eye before he could choke the desper ate man into insensibility and hand cuff him. In Justice Stlpp's court Tuesday Mackinaw pleaded guilty to the charge and received a fine of fifty dollars and twenty-five days in jail. MOREY HOUSE TO BE SOLD. Charitable Institution May Acquire It For a Hospital. Negotiations are understood to be pending for the purchase of the Clara 12. Morey residence on the hill, or the lease of the place by Portland peo ple, who desire to use the building for a hospital, and although the deal has not been closed, there is a possi bility that It will bo. The identity of the Intending purchasers has not been made public, but It Is believed to be a charitable organization of women, who may be connected with one of the principal religious organizations of the country. The Morey house Is now occupied by tho 'family of Charles H. Caufleld, president of the Bank of Oregon City, and a brother of Mrs. Morey, while the owner lives on the extensive farm at Oswego, well known to Portland nnd Oregon City people as "Glen morie." It is said that the proposed lease carries with it an option for the purchase of the property at the end of five years, for $8000, and that dur ing the term of the lease the rental will be $50 per month for the first year, $75 per month for the second year, and $100 per month for the three ilnnl years. The building is well a dapted for the use of a hospital, con taining more than "0 rooms, and all of these are sleeping apartments. The original cost of tho house and grounds was something like $20,000, and the residence was for several years occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Mor ey and their children. YOUNG DRUMMER BOY. George Brown of Parkplaco Has At tained Great Proficiency. I'lonty of boys can beat a drum, as their frantic parents can well testify, but few have reached the proficiency that Geary Hrown, of Parkplace, has attained. Geary Is six years old, and in the first grade at school, but he can beat the drum in a way that few of the uld'?r boys can equal. When the line forms for the children to march into the school little Geary takes his place and beats his drum for them to keep step with. His teachers say that he has a perfect Idea of time and beats out the march with exact rythm. Geary is an unsually bright little fellow for his age, and takes a great interest in his studies. He is also very fond of music, and his parents think that possibly his fondness for the drum presages a musical career for him. He is the possessor of a reg ular military drum of which he Is very proud, and his friends claim for him the title of the "youngest drum mer in the state." G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT. Date of Reunion at Newberg Fixed W. R. C. Convention. The twenty-sixth annual encamp ments of the Grand Army of the Re public, Department of Oregon, will be held at Newberg on Tuesday, Wednes day and Thursday, June 25, 26 and 27, 1907. The dates were determined at a meeting of the Council of Adminis tration held last week. The encamp ment last year was held at Grants Pass, June 20, 21 and 22, but it was necessary to make the date later this year, as the encampment will utilize the halls in the Pacific College build ings, after commencement is past. The Woman's Relief Corps will hold its twenty-third annual convention at Newberg at the same time. BARLOW. After the severe cold weather, of the past weok, the Oregon mist is again welcomed. The 20th Century Grang., at their regular meeting on Saturday evening, January 20, tendered Miss M. S. Bar low a reception, the occasion being her return from Europe. The hall was handsomely decorated and a special program wa3 rendered after which, Miss Barlow gave a short sketch of her travels. Refreshments were served and a social time was en joyed by all. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Miller are visit ing relatives here this week. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hilton from Canby, called on Mrs. Andrus on Mon day. Miss Barlow returned to Portland on Wednesday. On Friday last Mrs. H. Andrus met with a serious accident. She fell and dislocated and broke her right arm. Dr. Dedman was called and reduced the fracture. She is doing well as could be expected of a lady of her age, she being quite old. Mrs. Scoggin and daughter, Em.tta, are staying with her sister, Mrs. An drus, since the accident. Mrs. Lena Sprague, of Oregon City, visited her aunt on Friday last. Mrs. R. L. Clark was a visitor at Portland, on Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Raulstead took their little daughter to Portland for treat ment today. Mr. 'and Mrs. Jas. Ogle entertained the progressive euchre club on Fri day evening. Mrs. R. L. Clark won the ladies' prize, and John Ogle the gentleman's prize, Joe King the lone hand prize. MORE FUNDS FOR SCHOOL. Valuation on Corporation Property - Steadily Raised. The valuation of the Oregon City locks of the Portland General Electric Co. has been gradually raised for the last four years since Assessor Nelson has been in office. Last year they were assesed at $209,000, and this year the value put on them is $340,000. The assessment is divided into three parts so that different districts may get the benefit of the taxes, which this year will amount to $7527.50 There has been considerable com plaint In years past that the property of the corporations doiug business in Oregon City has not been assesed at its full valueation. The locks of the HJlectric company were for this reason placed at double the figure four years ago that they had been previously, nnd since then the valuation has been steadily raised.
