AFTER ELECTION.
Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away in Oregon City we are
able to look at look at both sides of
the issues involved in the city elec
tion and whether or not the result is
just aa we would have had it we can
probably bring oursolves to believe
that, since the majority has willed it
the outcome may, in the end, be best,
In a government in which all have a
voice we must concede much. The
minority may be right and the major
ity may be wrong but the fundamen
tal principle of popular government is
that the majority must acquiesce in
the wishes of the majority. But the
minority that considers itself In the
right has the privilege of agitating
and educating and in the end the
principles, that are right will prevail.
This election empahsizes a whole
some truth that is too often lost sight
of; namely, that the public must be
taken into the confidence of those
who seek the public suffrage. This
means, too, that the public is enti
tled to time to deliberate and con
sider well their courses of action
This is as much as to say that It was
not proper to inject a mayoralty can
didate In the contest a very few days
before election day. The public wel
fare demands that the voter have am
ple time- to fully Inform himself re
garding men who seek public places
and In this busy commercial age two
or three days is not ample time for
this purpose. The public as a rule
takes this view of the matter in ques
tion; it is a wholesome, conservative
view, and let us hope that the old
method of carrying an election by a
brilliant coupe and a short fast fight
has become ineffective and that It will
cease to be invoked in political cam
paigns. The manner of presenting the char-
tor amendments is subject to' the
same criticism. The substance of
these amendments could have been
laid before the people months before
the pamphlet containing them was is
sued. The arguments of members of
the commission for and against pro
posed amendments, during the time
they were being deliberated on by the
commission, could have been given to
the public, and in fact the public
could have been fully informed re
garding proposed changes In our char
ter, which Is the fundamental law of
the city. While the proposed amend
ments were submitted in pamphlet
form the electors did not have time
after they were Issued to become thor
oughly acquainted with their various
provisions. There was probably no
ulterior motive in holding back from
the public until a short time before
election the sulmtance of the proposed
amendments. It might have been ex
pected that a concentrated force back
of them and only disorganized oppo
sition to them would have made their
passage more probable if time were
not permitted for an organized oppo
sition to form. But the personel of
the sub-committee that pushed the
amendments is far above reproach;
this committee had in mind the wel
fare of the city and believed these
amendments for the public advantage.
The committee devoted valuable time
to the public cause; the public should
be grateful to them for the Bervice
they rendered without possibility of
remuneration, unless the conscience
of a duty loyally performed was to
them ample remuneration, and the
committee should not feel that their
work was any the less worthy or that
the public was unappreclative be
cause It was unable to agree with the
committee as to the propriety of mak
ing the proposed amendments a part
of our charter.
The Initiative is a dangerous weap
on nnd Its use Is easily subjected to a
terrible abuse. To say that it is dan
gerous Is not to say that It Is without
vuluo. Those proposing to make use
of the Initiative should take the public
into thetr confidence long before the
people are to pass on the measure
proposed. The substance of the pro
posed legislation should be persistent
ly kept before the votors. It is not
sufficient to say that votors, if inter
ested, can Inform themselves. If the
success of the initiative depends on
the voter's going out In search of In
formation regarding all measures pro-
nosed It will not prove a success,
There must be patriotism enough
back of the proposed measure to carry
to the voter Its' equities or else there
must be patriotism enough back of
the opposition to It to carry to the
voter its unfairness or dlsadvantogos,
Whether or not this Bounds fine in
theory it will prove Itself true from
practical experience.
The proposed excise law came fair
ly before tho people. It was well un
derstood and the electors rejocted it.
Tho result is cleaVly the will of the
people, be thoy right or wrong.
Regardless of the merit of other
Issues wo believe the result was a pro
per one for the issues were not pro
perly before the people. No matter
whoso fault It was or no matter If no
one was particularly at fault. If we
are right in tho belief that the matter
was not fully before the people it was
certainly best to take no affirmative
action. None was taken.

him early when taken ill. If
the trouble is with your

Rev. J. R. IjHidshorough officiating.
Both bride and groom are residents
of the city, but will go to Vancouver,
Wash., to resldo, as Mr. Willet has
purchased an interest in a livery sta
ble there.
It Is a little remnrkahle that New
York should have to take the gold
cure when its debauch consisted so
very largely of water.
The Kaiser is going to Highcllff
for nn operation on his throat. If the
story about the Windsor servants get
ting $2,000 out of him in tips Is true,
ho ought to need an operation on his
leg as well.
Well, at least drover Cleveland Is
not on record against accepting a
third term.
At least the Department of Agri
culture has not called on the board
ing house keeper to print the hash
formula on the menu card.
The Pennsylvania court has decided
not to re-open the Hartje case, so the
disinfectants can now be used for
some other purpose.
A contemporary declares that the
clearing house check has come to
stay. Mighty good thing too, for It Is
more than any other brand of cur
rency ever doos.
It is stated that the Duo de Chaul
nes has eleven other names. When
an American gets that many, we us
usally attach a Bortillion card and

YEAR IS SATISFACTORY.
Financial Situation Will Be - Better
Than Ever In the Northwest.
The live-stock industry has had a
good year, the wool clip has been
enormous, while fruit in 1907 has add
ed to the wealth of Oregon and Wash
ington at least 30 per cent more than
during prosperous 1906. No figures
are available on the dairy products
of Washington, but Oregon has jump
ed from nothing ten years ago to $5,
000,000 five years ago, and $17,000,000
during 1907. The progress in lrrlga
tlon has never been so marked as
during the ten months just passed
both in government and private pro
jects.
The heavy movement or grain ror
the tremendous crop of the present
year has been temporarily delayed by
the financial situation, but Is now on
and the months of November and De
cember will make the record ship
ments of all history. There are 23
vessels in Portland harbor at this
time, including steamers and sailing
craft, and their principal cargo win
be grain and flour. The equipment
in Puget Sound ports is similar to that
here. A few months must of neces
sity make the financial situation in
this part of the United States better
than it ever has been before, and in
the face of figures such as these it is
impossible for anyone to present a
substantial reason for a continuance
of the present inconvenience as to
actual cash.
Building operations throughout Or
egon and Washington have been with
out precedent, and while there are
numerous skyscrapers, otnee buildings
and apartment houses, the building
of homes has led. More money has
been placed in industrial plants and
transportation facilities than through
any other avenue. Wholesale and re
tail trade has been unparaieiied, sur
passing even the large sales of 1900,
and this during the weeks when our
banks, like those all over the United
States, are paying in clearing house
certificates.
The products of the farm and or
chard are bringing the highest possi
ble price, and that conditions will be
normal and that substantial prosper
ity will reign here within the next 90
days is absolutely assured ,if people
can only get into the habit of looking
through optimistic glasses and there
is not a single sound reason why any
one should be pessimistic. How they
can be other than confident it Is im
possible to conceive.

WILLAMETTE MAY INCORPORATE
People of That Thriving Town Want
a Government of Their Own.
The people, of the little town of
Willamette, who organized a Develop
ment League about one year ago are
aspiring towards the honor of having
a municipal government of their own,
in order that they spend their own
road money, or a portion of it, and
share the good things and the bad
things that come the way of the In
corporated city. Willamette is a
small town but it has a lot of hustlers
residing there, among them School
Superintendent Gary, Otto Olesen, of
the Portland General Electric Com
pany, Ernest Mass, of the Willamette
Falls Company, Deputy Sheriff Baker,
D. IC Bill and others equally promi
nent . Mr. Gary, C. S. Baker and E.
P. Berdine have been! appointed a
committee to make a survey of the
town, in order to determine the boun
dary lines of the proposed corpora
tion. They will report at a mass
meeting to be held In the near fu
ture. Oswego was the last town to at
tempt to Incorporate, but the county
court made an alteration in the boun
dartrs established by the petitioners
who became dissatisfied and threw up
the sponge. Barlow, Canby, Milwau

in Clackamas that are incorporated

PERUNA IS EFFICIENT
IN RELIEVING
HOSPITALS ALL OYER THE CONTINENT FIND PE-RU-NA VALUABLE IN TREATING ALL CATARRHAL DISEASES
CATARRH of the respiratory organs
Is a common ailment in Canada f or
at least two:thirds of the year.
. This condition Is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov
ered by Canadian people to be a reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, It
at once became a popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where It was
used as a preventative and relief in
hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions Is that of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement :
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio,
Having used Peruna tor the oast few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
happy to say that it has given us great
satisfaction.

east of Canby, by hanging herself.
The body was found by her husband,
R. Olsen, about 9:30 o'clock. He call

and early in the afternoon Coroner
Holman was notified of the occur
rence, and went to Canby to hold an
Inquest, the jury returning a verdict
In accordance with the facts. Mrs.
Olsen would have been 50 years of
age next March. She had been a
resident of Canby, with her family,
for about 10 years, and had worked
hard to make a home, and her health
failed several years ago. This caused
her to become despondent and she
frequently said that she had nothing
to live for. Early Thursday morning
she seemed brighter than usual and
her husband last saw her about 9
o'clock. Going into the pantry about
half an hour later he found her life
less form. She had made four strands
of a chalk line, which she had fasten
ed to a nail, four feet from the floor,
and making a noose, placed it about
her neck and laid down on the floor,
where she strangled. When found
she had ceased to breathe. Mrs. Ol
sen is survived by her husband, a
son 11 years of age and two daugh
ters, aged 13 and 19 years.
Dead from Overdose of Morphine.
James Taylor, who was found in an
unconscious condition by George
Brown on the river bank in the south
end of the city, is dead from an over
dose of morphine. Coroner Holman
took charge of the remains. Taylor
was formerly a resident of Oregon
City, but of late has been in Portland.
He was a confirmed user of morphine
and when found was nearly dead, but
survived less than one hour. He had
been lying on the river bank in the
rain all night from indications, and
both feet were in the water.

Mr. Tietz, of Sandy, died at his

Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy one that reaches
every intornal organ of the body is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna is JuBt such a remedy. It
searches out the cause of the disease,
healing and strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part of the
restorative process.
One' of the many hospitals which have
found Peruna of value in treating old and
obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital
St. John, who write, as follows :
"We are happy to tell you that your
Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three

Beware of Frequent Colds.
A succession of colds or a protract
ed cold is almost certain to end In
chronic catarrh, from which few per
sons ever wholly recover. Give every
cold the attention it deserves and
you may avoid a disagreeable disease.
How can you cure a cold? Why not
try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy? It
Is highly recommended. Mrs. M.
White, of Butler, Tenn says: "Sev
eral years ago I was bothered with
my throat and lungs. Someone told
me of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I
began using It and it relieved me at
once. Now my throat and lungs are
sound and well." For sale by Huntley I

"Through these three cases we desire
to make known to the public the ef
ficiency of your remedy."
Hospital St. John, of St. Johns,
Province of Quebec.
A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows :
"Three weeks ago I wrote to tell
you how satisfactory we found
Peruna. We recommend It highly tor
colds, coughs, catarrh and neuralgia.
"I have used It myself as a tonic with
tho best results, taken as directed, half
a teaspoonful every half hour."
Mrs. Etta Booker, Dundurn, Bask,
N. W. T., Canada, writes:
"I suffered with pelvic, catarrh until
I wrote to Dr. Hartman, and after tak
ing treatment aa he advised, I can say
I am now cured of this most trylntf
affliction, for which I am truly thank
ful. I think Peruna the best medicine
for catarrh. I never felt better In my
life than I do at present." ,-
Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt and efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronio stage.
Of course, it is only reasonable to
suppose that a great deal less medicine
will be necessary to cure a sligh t attack
of catarrh than would be required to
relieve the ailment after it had been al
lowed to become chronio.

McCUE WOULD SUCCEED HEDGES
Astoria Lawyer a Candidate for Dis

John C. McCue, of Astoria, deputy
district attorney and representative
from Clackamas County, was in town
Saturday looking after his fences and
probable chances for securing the Re
publican nomination for district attor

the primary election next Spring. Mr.
McCue has not definitely announced
his candidacy, but believes he. would
make a good race against E. B. Ton

Cue has no fear that the present dis
trict attorney, Gilbert L. Hedges, of
this city, who is a Democrat and who
was appointed by Governor Chamber
lain when Harrison Allen resigned
last Spring, will enter the lists against
him in the event of his securing the
nomination.

mencing January 1, at 6:30 P. M., ex
cept on Saturdays, mill paydays and
during the holiday Beasons. The lies
of business represented are dry
goods, shoes, clothing, grocery and
furniture. The general impression
is the the public will in no wise in
convenienced and that the 13 hours
workday will be a thing of the past,
giving to the clerks and business men
some little time for rest and recrea
tion. As the situation is at the pres
ent time, there is time only for work,
sleep and eat. The hearty co-operation
of the generous public will do
much to further the interest in the
early closing movement.
