The Kind Yon Have Always Bought Bears the Sign, tors JUVENILE FAIR IS NEW PROJECT CHILDREN'S . EXHIBITION .NEXT FALL WARMLY ENDORSED BY POMONA GRANGE. MEETING AT MAPLE LANE George Ogle Puts Through Resolution Demanding That Candidates For Congress State Position on Farmer's Issues. Clackamas County District Pomona Grange held Its regular quarterly meeting at Maple Lane Wednesday with more than 100 people in attend ance. The project advanced by Coun ty School Superintendent Gary for an annual juvenile fair to be held next Fall, probably in connection with the County Fair, received the hearty en- dorsement of the Grange. Mr. Gary will communicate with the teachers In every county school district asking that they have the pupils work to wards the end desired. Each parent will be requested to set aside a small plat of land so that his children may grow vegetabir8 for exhibition. The following resolution, presented by George Ogle, was adopted: Whereas, In spite of the fact that the recent financial panic has again emphasized the necessity of some sys tem of government banking, and Con gress has practically announced that there will be no legislation for Postal Savings Banks, or a Parcels ost sys tem at this session, and Whereas, these two measures have long been advocated by the Grange therefore be it Resolved, that we ask our State leg islative committee to present to each candidate for United States Senator and member of Congress, a pledge substantially as follows: Will you, if elected, work in all leg itimate ways to secure the passage of laws providing for a system of Postal Savings Banks, and for a Parcels Post? Yes, or no. As an evidence of good faith, will you, during your campaign, endorse these measures publicly? Yes, or no. The session was an enjoyable and profitable one and at noon the ladles of Maple Lane Grange served the bountiful Biipper that they so well know how to prepare. In the after noon an interesting program was ren dered, and brief speeches were made by several well known and prominent members of the Patrons of Husbandry. Highland Grange. Highland Granse, No. 201, vuat at its hall January 4, with the master, J. E. Peck, In the chair. During the morning session the Grange business was transacted and throe applications for membership were taken in. At noon dinner was announced, and enjoyed by members and visitors, and this was followed by the afternoon session, which was open to visitors. The following officers were In stalled by Mrs. Nora Miller: Master, J. E. Peck; overseer, J.

A contest be tween the ladies and gentlemen was arranged for the February meeting, and also an oyster dinner. The losing side in the contest is to pay a forfeit. A GRANGER. Harding Grange. The new year began for Harding Grange on January 4th with the larg est and most enthusiastic meeting that has been held for a long time. Sixty-five members were present, and each one of them seemed to have taken a New Year's resolution to be good, live, sociable Granger for the occasion, and, let us hope, for the season. Brother J. D. Chitwood, of Damascus, deputy master, was present to install the officers and he carried the ceremony through In his usual im pressive manner. The first degrees were conferred on one and the last degrees on three. It took two of the long tables to seat the crowd at din ner time, and the hum of jully con versation nearly raised the ceiling. The new officers took hold as though they meant business. The retiring master, George A. Kohl, made an ex cellent address, in which he reviewed the work of the Grange for the past two years, and said the prospects are bright for greater success jn the near future. The new master, Mr. Samuel E. Gerberr is a young man well quali fied for the position, and he pledged his best efforts for Grange success. The lecturer's hour was a long one and crowded with recitations, songs, reading and essays, humorous and otherwise. So many took part in the discussions that the old stand-bys had to watch for a chance to get a word in edge-ways. A goodly number of names were se cured to the Initiative petition being circulated by the State Grange com mittee. Granges that get ahead of us In points for January, in the contest, will have to hustle. DUMP HOBOES ON CLACKAMAS. Oak Grove People File Protest and Ask for Police Protection. The Oak Grove Improvement Asso ciation at its last meeting passed the resolutions given below: It appears that they should present their com plaint to the city of Portland, from which place the riff-raff is sent. The county can hardly be expected to pro vide police protection in minor cases to separate localities. Whereas, It is reported in the daily press that the police of the city of Portland arrested on December 2!Hh as many as 11 unemployed men of varied races, all of whom were de scribed as vagrants and hoboes, with out visible means of support; Whereas. In conformity with the very questionable policy In vogue, these 11 dependent men were escorted by guard on the morning of the next day to the city and county limits, and lib erated at the Golf Links station of the Oregon City car line, with Instructions not to return; Whereas, The territory adjoining for some two or three miles in a southerly direction, including Oak Grove and vl clnity, is dotted with homes occupied by suburban residents, whose business pursuits in Portland or elsewhere ta,ke mem irom nome mucn or meir ume, Whereas, Our homes are therefore occupied during such time only by our wives and children, who are with out police or other protection; Whereas, These unhappy men, by force of circumstances, must become a prey upon our community, and, un less they can find immediate work, are driven to the extreme where the must either beg, steal or starve; and, Whereas, A most serious condition Is thereby created, and the possibility exists of its being greatly intensified through the continuation of this poll cy, and the unloading upon us of still larger numbers: Resolved, By the members of the Oak Grove Improvement Association, that we hereby call the attention of the officials of Clackajnas county to this very serious condition, under Which these undesirable citizens and characters are being dumped upon a defenseless community, to the imme diate peril of our homes and families; and we hereby urge them to devise some means, if any legal remedy ex ists, to make use of it and to prevent the further carrying out of this out rageous imposition upon a peaceful section of the county. Resolved, That copies of this resolu tion be forwarded to the Sheriff and County Judge of this county, as well as the daily press. OBLIVION. Lay the jest about the Julep In the Camphor Balls at last, For the Miracle has happened and the olden days are past; That which makes Milwaukee thirsty does not foam in Tennessee, And the lid in old Missouri is as tight locked as can be; Oh, the comic paper Colonel and his , cronies well may sigh, For the mint is waving gayly, but the South is Going DRY. By the Stillside on the hillside, In Ken tucky, all is still; For the only damp refreshment must be dipped up from the rill. No'th Ca'llna's stately ruler gives his soda glass a shove And discusses local option with the South Ca'lina Gov. It is useless at the fountain to be wlnkful of the eye; For the Cocktail glass is dusty, and . the South Is Going DRY. It is Water, Water everywhere, and and not a Drop to drink, We no longer hear the music of the mellow crystal clink, When the Colonel and the Major and the General and the Jedge Meet to have a little nip to give their appetite an edge, For the Eggnog now is nogless and the rye has gone awry And the Punch Bowl holds Carnations, and the South is Going DRY. All the nightcaps now have tassels . and are worn upon the- head, Not the nightcaps that were taken when nobody went to bed; And the breeze above the bluegrass is as solemn as is death, For it bears no pungent clove-tag on Its odorific breath. For each man can walk a chalk-line when the stars are in the sky For the fizz-glass now Is flzzless and the South is Going DRY. Lay the jest about the Julep 'neath the chestnut tree at last, There is but one kind of moonshine and the olden days are past; For the Water-wagon rumbles thro' the Southland on its trip, And it helps no one to drop off to pick up the driver s whip, For the mint bed makes a pasture and the corkscrew hangeth high, All Is still along the Stillside and the South is Going DRY.

Attorney Asserts That Business Was Grossly Mismanaged by Mc Glashan, Whose Lack of Abil ity Was Demonstrated. Oregon City, Or., Jan. 10. (Editor of Oregon City Courier.) In a recent Issue of your valued paper, one R. A, Junken sees fit to rather severely crit icise some things, which the paper has printed, concerning the actions of Mr. McGlashan In his connection with the co-operative store; and Incident ally made some rather strong asset tlons concerning the veracity of some statements made by this writer. As to how R.A. Junken should be so much better posted than anyone else as to conditions concerning the business is not plain to most people, and as Mr. Junken'a loyalty seems to be all to Mr. McGlashan and none for the people for whom he was supposed to work, and as he writes concerning matter he knows nothing about other than by hearsay, we will, for charity's sake, presume he is Mr. McGlashan's mouthpiece. Mr. Junken was employed on the understanding that he was capable of keeping the books of the concern In good condition, and was paid a better salary than he could probably com mand at other work at that time, but his method of bookkeeping serves as a striking Illustration of his ineffi ciency, and probably the groceries which he now owes the company for have given him indigestion and affect ed his judgment. As to who organized the company, I think no one could be said to have done alj of It, but all parties con cerned will bear out the statement that Mr. McGlashan was the principal figure In the matter from start to con clusion of the organization, and was the person to Induce the writer to as sist In the organization as a favor to himself (Mr. McGlashan). As to Mr. McGlashan making It a success, the stockholders and whole sale men have a different opinion, as the Indebtedness at the end of the first month of Mr. Myers' management totaled about $2,400.00, and Mr. My ers had paid off some of the Indebted ness Incurred by his predecessor and made no new debts equal to the amounts he had paid out. As to credit, if any was enjoyed at all, it was unknown to the board, as Mr. McGlashan always reported that he was paying cash for his goods or discounting his bills. Further, every report made to the board to each month showed a net profit of from $150 to $300 per month, always with from $300 to $500 in the bank, so as to the need of credit. We could not see It; and, further, if Mr. McGlashan made the glowing success of the bust ness and the profits he reported, per haps Mr. R. A. Junken, who Is so wise as to the business, can give us the information we would all like to have as to where all the profits went? As to the Invoice, when Mr. Mc Glashan retired, will say his fixtures Included a team and delivery wagon, which were worth less than $200, Into which the manager had Invested about $550; also, the accounts were something like the one Mr. R. A. Junken now owes, of parties this bookeeper had allowed to go uncol lected, and also like the $25 McGlash an drew out of the company funds without any. legal authority, and still retains and, further, there were sev eral outstanding claims against the company that this expert bookkeeper had nothing to show the existence, and which were not known to exist until presented for payment and, fur ther, no hearty co-operation was given by either of the outgoing employes to the new management; in fact, rather1 the reverse. - I As to Mr. Myers holding the trade' Mr. McGlashan had built up, we won- der how this valiant defender knows all this, as he has been out of the, city since Mr. Myers took charge, and probably Is not aware that Mr. My ers' sales have shown no depreciation over Mr. McGlashan's, and probably! he does not remember stating, on his ! trip from Oregon City, to a reliable party "that the Co-operative store was about down," or words to that effect. Possibly, he believed when he 'eft Oregon City that all business wjuld immediately come to a standstill, but, like most egotists, he can probably find how much he effected the busi ness in leaving Oregon City If he will stick a pin in a mlllpond and look at the hole It leaves when withdrawn. As to Mr. McGlashan's claims as to having built up a good business and leaving It In good condlton, the facts are that the actual invoice value of j the stock was about $2,500, and that when all claims of all creditors were in, it showed something over $2,000 under his administration, with large ' amounts coming due, with all cash drawn out; and, also, our expert book keeper showed money In the bank, 1 while, in fact, there was an overdraft and lens than nine in the bank. - That was the actual condition of affairs. While, If necessary, it can be shown by affidavits of four men, besides this writer, that the reports of profits and payment of all claims were just as herein set out, and if that Is good condition, then he left It in good con dition. If Mr. R. Junken thinks the mere , assertion that a statement Is false, It will carry weight with anyone, he Is mistaken. The facts herein stated are what is shown by the books, and by the reports of the manager, of which Mr. Junken had no knowledge from the board, and if he can take the affair and make any different showing we will be pleased to have him do so. The writer will be glad to retract the statements here made, if untrue, and make due amends, if it can be shown that there is any mistake In any of these matters. In the Interview published It was the intention of the writer to cast no reflections, and preyent a general pub lication of our feelings toward the for mer management, but, as the parties have insisted in jumping Into print, they will have to abide by the results. There are other matters that might be interesting reading, but apologies to the editor and public for this ex tensive statement are due from the writer, who does not profess to know all about or anything about grocer ies, nor does he believe a man of Mr. R. A. Junken's limited abilities can learn all about It In a few months. J. F. CLARK. 'Phone Service from Sherwood.
