Opposite Court House - Oregon City
HOOD RIVER COUNTY.
This bill Is submitted under the In
itiative for the following, among
other reasons:
A county Is a public corporation
and it Is apparent that section 2 of
article XI, of the Constitution of Ore-
eon, as amended, reserves to the peo-
pie the right to create a county by
initiative vote.
There is no general law for the crea
tion of counties now, and no one
knows when, if ever, there will be one.
The facts as to area, population and
assessed valuation show that we are
able to maintain a county government.
Out of a population of about 7,500 the
desire of a county for the Hood River
country is earnest and unanimous
with the exception of a small fraction
of one per cent. We are assured by
leading citizens of The Dalles, Dufur
and other portions of Wasco county
that they have no objections to the
creation of Hood River County as pro
posed in this bill. More than 400 res
dents of The Dalles and Dufur have
signed the petitions asking that this
bill be submitted to a vote at the
June election, though forty-live names
from Dufur were received too late to
be filed with the Secretary of State.
The people of the Hood River Coun
try therefore ask favorable considera
tion of the voters of the State upon
this bill for these, among other, rea
sons: Because the new county will be a
great benefit to the people residing
therein and will facilitate the transac
tion of their county business.
Because as the law stands a county
cannot be created by the Legislature;
and finally,
Because the people of The Dulles
and the balance of Wasco county are
willing that Hood River County may
be created as 'provided in this bill.
The assessed valuation in the pro
posed Hood River County in 1903 was
$908,568.00; in 1906 was fl,C18,C70,
showing a gain in valuation from 1903
to 1906, of 1710,102.00, or about 7S
per cent. The valuation in 1907 was
12,762,250.00; a gain over 1906 of $1,-
143,580.00, or about 70 per ceni. snow
ing the proportionate increase in one
year from 1906 to 1907 to be almost as
great as that in three years from i(M
to 1906.
The proposed Hood River County
has a population of about 7,500; an
area of about 500 square miles; and
twenty school houses, seven of wnlch
are graded schools having from two
to eight rooms each and with a $30,
000.00 high school under construction.
There will be left in Wasco County,
after Hood River County is created,
an area of 1,646 square miles, a popu
lation of 11,500; and a valuation of
$5,457,720, thus leaving it among the
largest and strongest counties of the
State.

MAKE IT UNANIMOUS.
Just now there appends to bo lit
tle doubt but that It '.s Senator Cuke
of Oregon. Once tho campaign
started it was speedily upou that the
oft- boasted personal popularity of
George- tho Govonor was not so al
mighty stout as it once was. Various
things that some folks have l.nown
our chief executive have como to Unlit
ami a lot of folks are today doubtful
If George was such a whale of a man
after all.
The nearer Oregon makes It un
animous for Cake the bettor for Ore
gon. There are a few places whore
party polities still count; they don't
usually In city, county and district
affairs; but they do in national af
fairs, especially In the upper house
of Congress, where the majority party
gets what It wants and the minority
alts tight and waits. Oregon wants
a lot of things from Congress; It cau
never get them through a democratic
senator.
Between the men personally the
Issue Is not drawn; It Is not a per
sonal campaign; if It was Mr. Cake
would not bo on tho defensive.
It Is also remembered that Cake
was one of tho Republicans who had
the nerve to stnnii on a Statement
No. 1 platform when It looked as
though that meant defeat; he stood
for the popular election of the Vnlted
States Senator whether it protlted
him or uot; Chamberlain has stood for
It because It was his solo chance of
ever lunding the place.
The vaBt difference between being
good because you hope it will pay,
and because It Is right, represents the
difference between the stand of Mr.
Chamberlain aud Mr. Cake.

Oswego, Oregon, May 27, 1008.
To tho Editor:
An Estacada correspondent said
that Mr. T. J. Gary had been one of
the most active promoters of a coun
ty high school. Mr. Schuebel, Mr.
Ueed and Mr. Eaton wrote an article
to both of the papers for the purpose
of making it appear that Mr. Gary
was NOT an enthusiastic advocate of
a County high school. Why hasn't
Mr. Gary himself taken an open stand
on this question? I don't like this
"straddle of the fence" business. Mr.
Joseph W. Gray has tho courage to
state openly that he doesn't think the
whole county should be taxed to sup
port a high school that would benefit
a small locality. I don't know him,
but ho is evidently made of the right
sort of stuff, and he gets my vote.
There's quite a bunch of us hero in Os
wego who think we can attond to our
own high school business.

GOOD QUALIFICATIONS.
Harry Moody, who is the candidate
for assessor on the Republican ticket,
has put up a clean and manly cam
paign, and will undoubtedly win out
on June the 1st.
Mr. Moody began life for himself,
as a school teacher in New York State.
Ho taught two very successful terms,
but being seized with the Western
fever, came to Oregon some 20 years
ago. He worked for four years as a
millwright for the Willamette Pulp
and Paper Company, he then worked
fur some time for the Portland Gener
al Electric Company, and later was
employed by the City of Oregon City
as Inspector and Superintendent, in
laying down the brick street when
Oregon City improved Main street.
Tor tho last six years he has been in
business for himself, running what
whs formerly known as the Noblitt
IJvery Stable. He has been very
successful In his business. His credit
and business is rated very high, his
references being the very best. Mr.
Moody's experience around manufac
turing plants, and his knowledge of
the value of machinery as well as his
good Judgment regarding the values
of all property will make him a very
valuable assessor to Clackamas Coun
ty. Having been raised on a farm,
his sympathy is with the farming
community. His platform is one that
every good citizen will agree with, an
"assessment strictly according to law
and no favoritism.". He has the nec
essary back-bone to carry out this
platform, and everybody knows that
when he is elected he will be the As
sessor without dictation from any one.

DEATH OF MRS. MILLER.
Well-known ftesident of Oregon City
Passes Away After Brief
Illness.
Mrs. Ferdinand Miller died at the
family residence on Sixth and Madi
son streets on Wednesday evening at
0:30 o'clock. Mrs. Miller was takeu
sick in January with heart failure,
Hut her condition did not become seri
ous until three weeks ago. The fun
eral took place from the St. John's
Catholic church Saturday morning at
9 o'clock at which High Mass v as
said by Father A. Hillebrand. The
Interment was in the Catholic ceme
tery. The funeral .was largely at
tended by many friends ol the fam
ily, and the floral offerings were mag
nificent, as a token of nigh esteem
held by friends of the departed ore.
The pall bearers were George A.
Harding, T. A. Sullivan, Frank Eusch,
A. W. Milln, Frank Glennon and D.
M. Klemsen.
Mrs. Miller, whose maiden name
was Thressa Strausser, was born in
Vienna, Germany, January 19, 1846,
and came to Oregon City from Cincin
nati, Ohio, in 1872, and was mar
ried to Mr, Miller in 1867. Mr. and
Mrs. Miller came to Oregon City from
Cincinnati, Ohio, 30 years ago, i.ud
have made their home in this city
ever since, and where they have many
friends and acquaintances. Mr. and
Mrs. Miller, who had been married
41 years, recently celebrated their
41st weding anniversary.
Mrs. Miller leaves a husband, Ferdi
nand Miller, and six children, three
sons and three daughters, who are
Ferdinand C, Jr., Theodore and Otto,
all of this city; Miss Frances Miller,
of Portland, and Miss Rose Miller
and Miss Clara Miller, of this city. A
daughter, Hattie, died in this city in
1880. Mrs. Miller was the last sur
viving member of the Strausser fam
ily. Mrs. Miller's mother, who made
her home in this city with her daugh
ter, died many years ago.
ANOTHER NEW FRUIT FROM
CLACKAMAS COUNTY.
One of our prominent horticultur
ists, Mr. C. W. Swallow, after many
years of experimenting and careful
selection of seeds and seedlings, fi
nally found an apple seedling that
gave promise of producing a good,
strong, thrifty variety. Saving this
tree until It came into bearing, he
found the fruit had qualities that
would make it a very valuable variety
to propagate. This being in 1903, he
named it Clawis from letters in Lewis
and Clark, the word also having the
originator's initials (C. W. S.) in it.
Mr. Swallow has recently sold the
propagating rights of this variety to
the Oregon Nursery Company, who
will propagate it and likely put It on
the market next season. The Clawis
is a remarkably long keeper. Mr.
Swallow having specimens May 25,
tbat were firm and -solid, and in good
condition. With a little extra care
this variety can be kept in fine con
dition until after July 4.
Many experts have pronounced the
quality of this variety to be excep
tionally fine. It has a rich, nutty,
aromatic flavor, peculiar to itself, and
with its high color and beautiful gloss,
it surely has many advantages over
old varieties.
This adds one more to the quite
long list of Clackamas County produc
tions, among which are the following:
Black Republicans, Bing and Lambert
Chorry, Golden Prune and Cardwell
Pear, the latter a very late keeper,
which originated near Oregon City.
Mr. Swallow also has a seedling
strawberry named Shirlie-Bell, which
is a larger and more vigorous plant
than any other variety he has. The
fruit Is of fine quality, but being of
medium size and not as productive
as some varieties, he has never tried
to place it on the market.
Saved From Being a Cripple For Life.
"Almost six or seven weeks ago I
became paralyzed all vat once with
rheumatism," writes Mrs. Louis Mc
Key, 913 Seventh Street, Oakland,
Cal. "It struck me in the back and
extended from the hip of my right
leg down to my foot. The attack was
so severe that I could not move in
bed and was afraid that I should be
a cripple for life.
"About twelve years ago I received
a sample bottle of your Llniment'but
never had occasion to use it, as I have
always been well, but something told
me that Sloan's Liniment would help
me, so I tried it. After the second
application I xould get up out of bed,
and in three days could walk, and now
feel well and entirely free from pain.
"My friends were very much sur
prised at my rapid recovery and I was
only too glad to tell them that Sloan's
Liniment was the only medicine I
used."

"Can we afford prohibition at this
