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. Schram; lec
turer, Ada Stephens; steward, Vernon
Larkius; assistant steward, Elbert
Larklns; chaplain, Lizzie Ringo; treas
urer, Jessie Mayfield; secretary, C.

cores.
The question, "How Can We Make
Our Grange Mot Interesting and Ben
eficial?" was discussed. 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.

CLARK REPLIES
TO MR JUNKEN
ROCHDALE CO-OPERATIVE 8TORE
MADE THE SUBJECT OF A
STINGING ARTICLE.
WHERE DID PROFITS GO?
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.
