CANNERY TALKED OF.
. County Horticulturists Plan for One
at Saturday's Meeting.
At a meeting of the Clackamas
County Horticultural Society held in
the Courthouse Saturday afternoon
plans for the erection or a cannery
were discussed and much Interest was
manifested by all present.
A number of local men Bpoke
favor of the project, as did also M.
Britton, an eastern Oregon man, who
has carefully gone over the fruit lands
of this county to ascertain If the plan
would be feasible. He spoke highly
in favor the cannery, and so positive
was he of Its sucess that he offered to
finance the enterprise. Mr. Britton
says that there at least 100,000 boxes
of fruit In sight for next year's crop,
After some further discussion, it was
decided that the plan was a good one
and in a few days the articles of In
corporation will be filed, and the stock
placed on the market. There will be
5000 shares, Belling at $10 per share,
Of this amount, $20,000 will be pre
ferred stock and the balance common
In addition to the regular dividends,
the stockholders of preferred stock
will receive a dividend of 6 per cen
on their investments.
No doubt little difficulty will he en
countered in. disposing of the stock
as there are many fruit growers who
favor the Bcheme and will be glad
to take hold of the proposition in this
manner. When the plant la under op
eration the value of having such an
institution In this district will be quite
noticeable as from the experience of
those who have passed through the
period of fruit growing with and with
out a cannery throughout the east can
attest to the increase in the value of
fruit lands as it is thoroughly under
stood in such sections that such a plant
increases the value In adjacent terri
tory sometimes fifty per cent, with a
corresponding decrease from that ac
cording to the lands and the dlstauce
from the cannery.
Such a plant has been advocated in
the Courier and we are glad thnt the
Society has taken a step in this direc
tion, and with a good amount of ener
gy and push characteristic of the so
ciety, and others who will be Inter
ested in the project, the plant will be
assured.

NIPPED IN THE BUD.
Fire Discovered Underneath the Balds'
Home Extinguished In the
Nick of Time.
What might have been a most disas
trous fire was lucidly discovered bv
neighbors of Mrs. Hoar about mid
night Monday night, and prompt ac
tion on their part no doubt saved not
only the property but undoubtedly the
life of Mrs. Hoar as well. Neighbors
returning from some social function
discovered the blaze underneath the
kitchen which is set up off the ground
about two feet. The fire had already
gained considerable headway and it
was with considerable effort on their
part that the same was gotten under
control. It aprars from all the evi
dence at hand that It was of Incendi
ary origin, as quite a largo amount of
bark and kindling wood positively
taken from the wodshed near bv was
partially burned, and was arranged In
propor shape to do such work. This
bundle of wood had apparently been
placed underneath the kitchen floor
and then lighted with tho intent to
burn the house. No trouble Is known
In any particular with Mrs. Hoar and
William H. Mattoon.
Aside from their rating among the
most progressive agriculturists of
Clackamas County, there are probably
more large land owners claiming a
parentage by the name of Mattoon,
than have emanated from any other
family settling on the Pacific coast.
During the last half of the eighteenth
century there was born in New York
State a predestined farmer who had
eight children, John, Abel, Allen, Liza,
Polly, Orila, Remey M., and Orln M.
With these children the father came
to Oregon In 1847, and in the mean
time Polly and Orila had married men
by the name of Cutting, and Liza had
become the wife of a Mr. Wells. The
party came across the plains with ox
teams, and at the end of their six
months' journey stopped near Oregon
City, tho next year all hands going out
to the vicinity of Viola, where, with
the exception of John, the oldest son,
they took up separate donation claims.
To Abel fell six hundred and forty
acres; to Allen, the same amount; to
Remey, three hundred and twenty
acres; to Orln, the same amount; to
each of the Cutting ladles six hundred
and forty acres, and to Mrs. Wells a
similar amount. It will thus be seen
that the name of Mattoon was1 firmly
established in Clackamas County at a
very early day, and from the outset
has been indicative of ambitious and
time shipped his wares to San Fran
cisco. His industry as a farmer re
sulted In the clearing of one hundred
acres of his property, upon which he
lived on contentedly until the year be
fore his death, when he went to live
with his son, Perry M. He was a
man of firm character and much natur
al ability, and in his adopted state
made his influence felt in many ways.
During the Civil War he served as
County Commissioner under Republi
can rule for a couple of years, and he
was for many years a member of the
school board. In religion he affiliated
with the Methodist Episconal church.
in which he was a steward, and to
wards which he contributed as his
means permitted. One of the most am
bitious of the brothers and sisters
who came here in the early days, he
was a typical pioneer, broad-minded,
liberal and keenly alert to the advan
tages by which he was surrounded.
For one year he was survived by his
wife, Sarah (Lewis) Mattoon, who
passed into the silence at the age of
72 -years. Of the children born to thi3
couple, Prlntiss Yakima lives In Wash
ington; Mrs. Mallnda Dubois is de
ceased; Perry M. lives in Tillamook,
Oregon; William H. lives in Viola;
Mrs. Orila Walker is a resident of Vi
ola; Mrs. Roslla Hughes also lives in
Oregon; Newton M.; Leander M. is
a resident of East Portland, and Mrs.
Clarissa Gail lives in Qregon City.
At the age of 21 years William H.
Mattoon left his father's home and
spent a year In Eastern Oregon, after
which he entered Willamette Univer
sity, remaining there for three years.
Having qualified as a teacher he en
gaged in educational work from 1870
to 1873 in Clackamas county, and then
took up mail contracts, making his
home in the meantime in Sylvester.
In 1875 he removed to the old home
stead near Viola, purchased one hun
dred and forty acres of the original
donation Claim taken up by his father,
upon which he has since been en
gaged in general farming. Like his
sire, he represents the most progres
sive and liberal-minded element in his
neighborhood, and like him has had a
hand In promoting general good gov
ernment and agricultural excellence.
For a number of years he filled the
office of constable under Republican
administration, and has also been road
supervisor, as well as school director
for eighteen years, and school clerk
for a number of years. He is a mem
ber of the Methodist Episcopal church,
and steward in the same.
In 1873 Mr. Mattoon married Caro
line Tracy, of which union there have
been born eight children: Arthur, of
Cascade Locks; Frank, of Redland;
Harvey, of Viola; Mrs. Edna Brown,
of Linn county; Herbert, of Viola;

There Is a difference between en
forcing laws for a violation of which
there is a private Injury coupled with
a public wrong, and enforcing laws
for the protection of the public. If a
man is robbed, for Instance, he will
usually see to it that the robber is
prosecuted. If a man is murdered,
the relatives or friends of the mur
dered man will generally put the ma
chinery of the law in motion against
the murderer. In each of these In
stances there is a private injury as
well as a public wrong. In bribery,
violation of the gambling laws, the
dram-shop laws, or railroad rebate
laws, there may be no Individual in

When Man Proposes Ha Gets a
Brain Storm, Says Minnesota Repre
sentative Sure Solomon Was Wooed.
Has Matrimonial Bureau That Ends
Divorce and Liquor Habits.
Convinced that his fellow men are
mere burglars in the game of love nnd
thnt If women were required to pro
pose the golden age would come again.
Representative J. Adam Bede of Min
nesota, widely known ns the "wit of
the house of representatives," has
evolved a scheme for a bureau of mat
rimony which, he contends, will solve
the marriage problem for every one.
All that persuasive eloquence which
Mr. Bede has hitherto employed to
good purpose In assisting voters to
make up their minds is henceforth at
the service of lovely woman. He has
served notice ou the country thnt from
now ou he will not cease to wield the
cudgel in defense of her right to pop
the question to the man of her choice.
To a Washington Fost reporter, eager
to learn the details of his great
scheme, Mr. Bede recently consented
to unfold his plan.
"I haven't introduced a bill for a
matrimonial bureau yet, because I
haven't had time to do any missionary
work among the other fellows in con
gress,';, said he. "Three or four of
theui are sort of old fogylsh nnd may
need a little talking to. I am going
to try to have all the presidential can
didates go on record on the matri
monial question. v
"It's high time women did the pro
posing. We men have been on to the
Job for 2,000 years, and the fact that
we have made a complete failure of It
Is proved by the number of divorces,
which Is increasing every day. Why,
divorce Is ns common now as appendi
citis, nd it's all the fault of us men.
It shows we are in the amateur class
In this affinity business. When nny
one of us does succeed in avoiding dis
aster as a husband, it's because he has
a skillful domestic pilot who can keep
him from running on to the rocks.
"Centuries of failure ou our part
have shown us that the old spoils sys
tem of matrimony is all wrong. It
must be put under the civil service. I
propose to establish a bureau of matri
mony and place it under well, I guess
It ought to go In the department of
commerce and labor. Tlieu all the la
dles who wanted to propose could file
an application with - the department.
That would create an eligible list, and
any tf them could Insist on getting a
matrimonial appointment within the
year.
"Now, none of tho ladies agrees with
Mrs. Farsous ou the trial marriage
proposition, so I suppose it wouldn't
do to offer any of thein a temporary ap
pointment. We'd have to give them
permanent places. It would be a great
scheme. There's everything to com
mend it. In the first place,' women un
derstand men, but who ever saw the
man that understands a woman?
"When a man's In love, he is a big
ger fool than usual. Why, the most of
us by the time we get to the propos
ing point are mentally fit for the
morgue. It takes a brain storm to get
one of us white llvered cowards to
make a declaration of love. But the la
dles are equal to any sentimental emer
gency.
"The ladies that reminds me. Tho
other night I went to a banquet, where
some one proposed the health of the
Hadles. Now, It happened that every
man there was married, and so we
drapk'that toast in silence. I suppose
no one could think of' anything nice
enough to say about them.
"I don't claim to be the originator
of this matrimonial bureau scheme.
I think something of the same kind
nniBt have existed in the time of Solo
mon. All students of history agree
that women must have done the pro
posing in his day. How otherwise
could he have landed as often ns he
did? He still holds the world's matrl
moulal record In" spite of the good
showing mado by Lillian Russell and
Kid McCoy. Now, If he had been
obliged to court every girl he mar
ried he would have had to spend all
his time at It, nnd we know that as a
matter of fact he put in several hours
a day attendiug to departmental mat
ters and seeiug his constituents. In
Solomon's time the king business
wasn't the cinch It Is today,-because
If a king didn't average up pretty
well the kingmakers' union took his
card away from him. So. Solomon
must have employed a fot of clerks
and contractors to create an eligible
list from the different ladies who pro
posed. The scheme worked like a
charm, for, with nil tho marriages he
made, who ever heard of Solomon be
ing divorced a single time? I've al
ways wondered why the ladies don't
put up n monument to Solomou. Some
how they don't seem to appreciate
hlui. We know that" tho queen of
Sheba proposed to him. I remember
reading In the Bible about all the gifts
she brought him must have--ost her
as much as girls pay these days to
get a duke.
"If women had been allowed to pro
pose In tho days of Henry VIII., just
think what history would have been
ipared! Henry certainly was a wrong
number matrimonially. It makes your
blood run cold to read how many
wives he had almost as many as there
are Republican candidates and hw
he went around killing them out of
