OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1907,
POTATO MARKET
HOLDS UP WELL
$750,000 AND 300 CARS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN SHIPPED.
RANCH EGGS ARE SCARCE
Week's Rains Will Be Beneficial To
Clackamas County Farmers, Who
Are Busy Plowing and
Sowing Fall Grain.
The potato market seems to he
somewhat brisk and during this sea
son over 300 cars have been shipped
out of the state, and it is estimated by
the shippers that there are 4000 cars
more to go. At current prices this
quantity of potatoes should bring the
growers or Oregon 1750,000.
Onion growers are going into onion
raising on a large scale this year and
almost $1,000,000 will be distributed
among the onion and potato growers
of the Willamette Valley during the
next few weeks. The crop of un
sold onions amounts'to about $100,-
ooo more, and there is a prospect of
a higher price later on In the winter.
'X Oregon ranch eggs seem to be very
scarce and the price has advanced to
40 cents per dozen. There is a supply
of Eastern eggs and the price remains
the same, fresh ranch eggs being
prerered by the consumers.
Butter in the Oregon City markets
remains the same with no advance In
the price. Little poultry is being
brought Into the markets for the
Thanksgiving consumption, but by
the first of next week the local mar
kets will be well supplied with tur
keys and chickens.
During the past week orders came
In from Eastern buyers for Oregon
hops, but the prices offered by the
Eastern buyers were lower than the
growers would accept, as the prices
offered were lower than cost of pro
duction. Many of the growers will
hold their hops for better prices.
Many of the Clackamas County
farmers have been busily engaged in
plowing and sowing fall grain. The
present rain will be a great benefit
to all farmers. A large amount of
wheat will be sown this year by the
Clackamas County farmers, as there
Is always a good demand for Oregon
wheat. Among the county's success
ful wheat growers is Mr. Oatfleld, who
resides near Risley's Station about
four miles from Oregon City. Mr.
Oatfleld this year threshed from his
place 200 tons of grain, and has dis
posed of a large share of it.
Watermelons and Cosalbas are still
in market. Grapes of late variety
are being sold by the local merchants.
All merchants have a good 'supply of
apples and pears. In fact, all of the
late fruit .can be found in the market
The strawberry season is fast com
Ing to a close, as the late frosts have
had a tendency to shorten the orop of
the late Magoons. A. L. Blanchard,
who is one of the enthusiastic straw
berry growers of the county, has had
a jld of 400 boxes this fall from hi
of an acre. Mr. Blanchard says that
he would have had many more boxes
If the frost of last week had not nip
ped the bushes.
There are still many blossoms on
his plants, and a few berries. Mr.
Blanchard has four acres in berries
at Maple Lane, "a great deal of this
being in the early varieties. Up to
this week berries were retailing
20 cents per box.

The following letter in ans
wer to the attack by the editor
of the Enterprise and the man
who signs his name as "Fair
Play" and "Man With Two
Boys," was submitted to the
Enterprise for publication, but
was refused unless they were
paid Commercial rates. '
' An open letter to Frank' C. Low
ing, editor of the Oregon City Enter
prise, "To the man with two boys,"
and "Fair Play."
There are two classes of cowards,
the physical coward, and the moral
coward, and the one that is most de
spised of all men Is the latter.
Mud slinging attacks have been
made by the editor of the Oregon City
Enterprise and in the articles written
by men who have not the moral cour
age to sign their names.
The two articles, "Man with two
boys," and "Fair Play" and the edi
torial in the Oregon City Enterprise,
evidently were inspired or written by
the same master mind seeking to fur
ther the interests and business of a
class of men who have never been
known to stand for good government
and clean citizenship.
What restrictions would Mr. Low
ing the editor, or either of the other
two persons (if there are such) who
are ashamed of their own name, place
on the saloons so that no such affair
as occurred at Canby can be perpe
trated in Oregon City.
They probably fear this law be
cause " that under It a saloonkeeper
will not be able to plead guilty to sell
ing liquor to boys twelve or fourteen
years of age and be let off with a fine
of $10.00 as was done in the Record
er's court in Oregon City.
Do they fear the Excise Law be
cause under It a saloonkeeper cannot
take such men as a recent part owner
in the Enterprise, and others who
have acquired the drink habit and
take the money that should go to sup
port their wives and children, and
send the fathers home beastly drunk?
Do they fear the Excise Law be
cause if it parses, the saloonkeeper
cannot harbor the hobo and criminal?
Are they afraid that the saloonkeep
ers will not be able to induce young
men, yes, and even girls to some Into
their back rooms, and acquire habits
that destroy manhood and woman
hood, and that incite to crime?
Are they afraid to have the Excise
Law passed, because the saloonkeeper
will not be able to hide behind his
screen while he violates the law?
If they are not, will Mr. Iowing or
"One With Two Boys" or "Fair Play"
please answer the following questions
and do It fairly over their own signa
tures? Have the saloonkeepers of Oregon
City ever advocated the enforcement
of the liquor laws of the state of Ore
gon, or of Oregon City?
Have they obeyed the Sunday clos
ing law or any other law that restrict
ed the vicious tendencies of their bus
iness until compelled to do so by fear
of immediate prosecution?
Did the saloons of Oregon City ever
advocate, support or represent any
thing that Is in the interest' of good
government or clean politics? Do the
saloons as they are run now benefit
any man, woman or child In Oregon
City, by making better men, husbands,
fathers or brothers, or by adding to
their material welfare?
If the saloon as it Is now run stands
for anything that makes better men
or women, or for the enforcement of
law, or for anything that Is for the
good of the community, will you please
name them, and be men enough to do
so over your own signatures.
The proposed Excise Law was never
in force in Colorado. Some cheap
imitation of It may have been.
police force of twenty men in a city
of over sixty thousand people is suf
ficient to maintain order and enforce
the laws and has caused a reduction
of crime of more than one half.
The Enterprise says it is better to
build up than to tear down. That de
pends upon what it is. Some things
have to be torn down because they
are a nuisance to the community. We
are in favor of tearing down the
blinds, so that saloonkeepers must do
business in the clear light of day.

braska, for about twenty years and Is
working most successfully, In the In
terests of good government as is
clear to any one from the fact that a
ture that he would do well to learn
"Men love darkness rather than light
because their deeds are evil."
The Enterprise Intimates that the
churches are seeking to tear down the
good things the saloons are building
up In the community. How much
money are the saloons of Oregon
City putting up for the moral uplift
of this community? How much are
they putting up for reading rooms and
libraries? How much for gymna
siums? How much to prevent the de
bauching of our boys and girls? How
much money did the saloonkeepers of
Oregon City put In the public reading
room that was maintained in Oregon
City so many years? Or the Y. M.
C. A. reading room and gymnasium
that was afterwards maintained In
its place? Not one red cent. Why
try to inject the church and private
lives into this controversy? This is
a public question, voting for or against
placing a law upon the statute books
of Oregon City; a question affecting
all the people; a question of public
policy. If it is for the good of the
people, the law should be enacted. If
not, vote It down. Whether you or
we are hypocrites or not is not the is
sue and shou'd not In fairness, Mr.
Fair Play, be Injected into this cam
paign. Give the readers of your
paper the contents of the law fairly
and honestly.
Every voter must stand up and be
counted, as being In favr of the sa
loon as it is now run, or for an im
provement in the management of the
saloon, for better morals and good
city government.
You say, "Were It not for the man
with a political bee, the male mem
bers would not be buzzing," and that
this agitation for clean city govern
ment and clean politics is only for
the purpose of getting votes. We
only wish it were true that the
preaching and practising of temper
ance was a sure vote getting proposi
tion. In the past it has always been
suicidal on the part of any man who
has political ambitions to fight the
organized saloon. Clod speed the day
when it will not be true in Oregon.
Under the Excise law no saloon
keeper will sell liquor to minors, nor
sell to a man who is drunk. Under
this law the saloonkeeper will not tol
erate loud, boisterous, or Indecent
language In his place. If this law Is
enacted there will be no place In Or
egon City for the hobo and the crim
inal to hide behind screens, for the
saloonkeeper will obey the law be
cause he must put up a bond for
$5000.00 to obey the law before he
can get a license.
If he does not obey the law his
bond will be forfeited and his license
taken away.
Now. Mr. Editor, are you In favor
of a decent Baloon where the light Is
always turned on or do you favor the
present boy-corrupting, drunkard
breeding, criminal Infested resorts?
If you are really going to make your
home with us and be one of us we
would like to know it.
Yours for a cleaner and better Or
egon City.
