Published Every Friday by Oregon City Courier Publishing Co, Entered in Oregon City Postofflce as Second-Class Mall. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. IU mouthi.... V Palu In adranee, per year $1 St LOCAL CONDITIONS 8TEADY. Oregon City may be a slow town. Possibly, when the whole country is forging ahead at a terrlflo pace, the old town hardly keeps up with the procession. But how about the pres ent situation? Mills and factories all over the country are closed or are running short-handed. Oregon City continues to employ about the same number of men that she did six months ago. Mills and factories here show no signs of a money stringency. It is a very good town after all at the most opportune time. To be sure, wages are a little lower. A dollar goes a little further. And a steady Job, when Jobs are scarce, even at reduced wages, is a thing that few are In a hurry to cast aside. We won't hear much about Oregon City being a "poky, old town" for a time. It Jogs along at a rather slow pace, but it keeps agoing. That is the gait that wins in the end, too. SOCIAL NOTES DEFECTIVE FISH LAW Operations of the United States Bureau of Fisheries may be seriously aflected through the failure of the legislature to amend the law making it a criminal offense to fish for sal mon within two miles' of racks of the Bureau. Several years ago a state law was enacted providing punish ment for fishing within two miles of racks of the United States Fish Com mission. More than three years ago the commission was abolished, through the organization of the Department of Commerce and Labor and the crea tion of a Bureau of Fisheries, and while the purpose is the same as be fore, the official title has been al' tered. The state law should have been amended to conform with the change made at Washington, but this was overlooked, and, as a conse quence, it is impossible to prosecute any person for fishing within two miles of the racks of the Bureau of Fisheries, for the statute deals only with the United States. Fish Commis sion, which has ceased to exist The omission affects only the Clackamas River, for operations on the Columbia cease before October 31, when the open season commences. The races on the Illinois Rive', trib utary to Rogue River, are too fa' away from the beaten track of fish ermen to be troubled, but on the Clackamas River, where one of the most Important stations of the Bu reau Is located, the matter is giving considerable concern to the govern ment fishery expert. The racks there are always left in the are:im until the water raises to a height where it is impossible to take eggs for propagation, and It is usual for the best results to be obtained during the first two weeks in November. The Oregon Legislature dues not meet until 309, and Superlntendcr.1 O'Malley, of Clackamas Station, is considering making a formal request of the State Board of Fish Commis sioners to extend the close season on the Clackamas River next year until the middle of November, which the Board may do on 30 days' public notice. HOPGROWERS' ORGANIZATION. It is doubtful If the hopgrowers will be able to accomplish their pur pose of holding up prices by organi sation. Tobacco growers In the South are thoroughly organized, but, notwithstanding this fact, tobacco has dropped from G or 7 cents per pound to 3 or 4 cents. This condition re sults from the fact that the American Tobacco Company, commonly known as the tobacco trust, is virtually the only buyer of tobacco In the country. The trust controls almost the entire product. Hopgrowers will probably have to encounter a similar condition. Their hope may be In effecting a combina tion that vitally affects the hopgrow ing of the middlemen. If the coun try decides to permit the business of the brewors to continue, this Is prob ably a practical solution of the ques tion that vltaly affects the hopgrow ers. Almost the entire hop product Is used In the making of beer, and the hop industry and the brewers' business must stand or fall together. So the hopgrowers and brewers should get together and leave out the brok ers, who really got the benefit of the growers' labor. The tobaccogrowers In the South are combating an unlawful comblna tion by unlawful methods. They have organized raids on the warehouses of the tobacco trust In Kentucky, as ninny as 500 armed men riding Into town whore warehouses are located, burn and destroy hundreds of thou sands of dollars' worth of property While such methods cause Immense losBos to the American Tobacco Com' pany, the purpose of the growers' or ganization will not be accomplished The unlawful combination of the trust will have to be combated In a lawful way. The hopgrowers' organization can learn a valuable lesson from the experience of the tobaccogrowers and got at their problem In a more diplomatic and effective manner. New Year Watch Parties. The New Year was welcomed midnight with the blowing of mill whistles, the tooting of horns, ring ing of bells and the firing of guns, Oregon City's streets were not thronged, as the weather was incle ment, but those who were abroad made plenty of noise and ushered out the dying year in the most approved manner.

The dealers in turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese were rushed with or ders for these birds during the Christ mas week, but were unable to supply the demand, and this week there was a noted scarcity of these in the mar kets. There were no turkeys whatever in the markets Monday and Tuesday and those who wished for turkey had to be contented with chickens. The butter and egg market remains about the same as that of last week. Ranch eggs were retailing Tuesday at 35 cents per dozen. A large amount of Eastern eggs are being sold by the merchants and have been retailing at 35 cents, but as soon as the Ore gon ranch eggs move more freely and the prices lower, the demand for the Eastern product will not be large. There seems to be a good demand ror dried fruit, especially dried ap- plos, which are wanted by the mer chants, who are paying a price of 7 cents to IVt cents per pound. The dried fruit this year of Clackamas County is in good demand. Hops are moving more freely throughout the whole Slate and with in the past two weeks several large deals have been closed. The average price that is now being paid is 1lk cents to 9 cents per pound, accord ing to quality of the hops. John Heinz, one of the leading hopmen of the State, whose hopyards are at Marquam, has disposed of his crop and has filed contracts with the pur chasers for his crops of 1908, 1909 and 1910. The buyers were Burger Bros., and 9 cents per pound is to be paid for the hops. Another large deal was closed during this week. The pur chaser was John Carmlchael, who bought 654 bales of hops from the Chinese growers who have part of the Krebs place near Independence. The price paid to the growers was 7 cents per pound. Several smaller deals have been made during the last fow days. Many of the hopmen throughout the State are holding their product until they see fit to sell, as the price they have been offered for their hops was not satisfactory. Some of the growers are being offered 12 cents and 13 cents per pound. There are many crops still unsold, although there has been some activity in the hop market within the past few weeks.
