dt NEWS OF THE COUNTY
Redland
Editor of the Courier: I do not
wish to open any public argument, but
I think the contention of the opposing
faction in regard to our trying to form
a new school district, does not speaK
th mind of most of our people.
We certainly do not wish to do any
thin? that will cripple any district,
or prevent a single child from getting
his full share of schooling, and from
all accounts we think the cases to
which we have been cited are far from
beine narallel with ours; for the ais
trict which we wish to form draws
onlv small Dortions from four districts,
and a large majority of the residents
are permanent settlers.
The signs of the times seem to be
to divide up, settle up and clar up, so
that in all probability there will never
be fewer Inhabitants than at present,
and out of the Immense emigration to
Oregon Is It not reasonable that Red-
land should expect her snare.' Ana
should we not by offering good school
privileges and locations for homes at
reasonable prices by inose wno nave
more land than they can possibly use,
try to induce some of these settlers
to our community.
Within the proposed district we
have at present 39 children of school
age, who are expected to walk from
one and one-half to two and one-half
miles to school over all kinds of roads
through all kinds of weather. We have
21 children 7 years of age ana unaer
nnthine of the future generation,
which Redland can so hopefullly and
safely expect, who if no change is
made must make these Journeys back
and forth over this long distance of
be dem-lved of early schooling; ana
who is there among us who is willing
to be responsible for the health of our
little ones if compelled to mane mis
long Journey through the wind ana
rain of our Oregon Winters. These are
some things which can not be reckon
ed bv dollars and cents.
Some say the trend of the times is
to consolidate. Then why not let's all
consolidate and go to Oregon City and
form a large school?; it would only be
a few mlleB farther.
I had not heard until recently of an
argument which seems to have been
formed years ago between the upper
and lower portions of the Jtenianu
district, that when the lower portion
were strong enough to organize a
school, they were to receive help
from the upper portion and we are
willing to waive any claim to the
above effect I do not believe those
who have signed our petition expect
or would demand any such help. But,
the several districts will simply lose
our support, while we lose what we
have invested in the other districts.
However we are willing to leave these
matters to the Judgoment of the Boun
dry Board. Doubtless we would not re.
fuse a donation.
It is true that Redland would lose
more in territory and scholars than
any other district, but this loss would
not prevent them from holding an
average amount of school. Redland has
at present about 60 scholars of school
age, and In order to prevent funds
from going back Into the treasury
must run school into the warm days
of the Summer.
In concluding I would like to speak
a word of praise for the people of the
districts from which we wish to draw.
Out of 60 persons to whom our peti
tion has .been presented i'i have by
their names shown their falrminded
ness and support, while the remain
der have not shown any hostility to
the project
We Bincerely hope that our endea
vors whether they succeed or fall will
in no way disturb the usual tranquili
ty of our community.
Very truly yours,
B. N. BROCK.

Mrs. Ruby Yocum, nee Wagner, a
bride of a year, died at the homo of
her father-in-law, T. Yocum, Saturday
night. She died a martyr to that peril
that every mother has braved. Mrs.
Yocum was about 21 years of ago and

ward to a long and happy home life.
Mrs. Yocum, or Ruby, as we called
her here, was always kind, faithful
and true to nil the duties that devolv
ed upon her in school, in home and
in society. She was a Christian and
the hope of that fnlth cheered her dy
ing hours. The entire community
mourns her loss, and extends its sin
cere sympathy to the husband, father,
mother, brothers and Bisters In this
sad hour of bereavement.

MAKING
CREAM
SEPARATOR
HISTORY
The year 1908 will mark an important period in centrifugal
Cream Separators. Probably never again will such a large num
ber of valuable Seperator improvements be brought forth as are
now shown in the new improved 1908 De Laval machines.
After thirty years of ceasless testing and experimenting, the
really perfect Cream Separator has at last been produced in the
New De Laval. Nothing anywhere near like it has ever been
made before and all who have seen and examined it marvel at the
great degree perfection attained in every feature of the machine
from the supply can to the base. Although the improved De
Laval has only recently been placed on the market it is already
SWEEPING ALL COMPETITION ASIDE and experienced
buyers everywhere are saying of it-"YOU DON'T CLAIM
NEARLY ENOUGH." The many new De Laval improvements
are of almost equal importance with the invention of the separa
tor itself and must be seen to be fully appreciated. To this end
you may have a free demonstration of the machine in your
own home for the asking.
Mr. W. P Kirchem, the agent for Oregon City, has arranged
with FRANK BUSCH to have one of the machines in his store
where the merits can be fully examined and catalogues be ob
tained. - Call at
