A FEW TIMELY WORDS ON A TIMELY TOPIC
The question as to whom the people
of Oregon City shall have for their
mayor tho coming term is one which
is supposod to have the ciuefiil atten
tion of every voter, and we believe
tho election, which will occur next
' Monday, December (I, will see one of
the largest votes ever polled in this
city. Two candidates have auuounccd
their desire ..to act for the city in the
capacity of mayor, W. E. Carll, the
present incumbent, and O. W. Enst
hain. In the matter of choice as far
as the people are concerned, and as
far as w hat their probable administra
tions might be there is not sufficient
to interest the voter to make a strenu
ous light for either candidate-. It will
be n mutter of pure personality,
triends of either gentlemau will work
Vfi?
almost entirely along these lines aud
the candidates themselves are making
their canvass on the ttreugth- of
friendship very largely.
Iu reference to the eandidatel and
their fitness for the office, it is a
well known fact that the present in
cumbent has made a good and efficient
mayor, a,wise head among tee ooun
eiluieu, conservative to a marked de
gree aud a democrat. Mr. Easthani,
one of our busiest merchants, at the
head of E. W. Mellien & Co., is a
product of Clackamas county, success
ful in business matters, ranking among
the top notches asjo conservatism, is
a republican, and would if elected
work for'the interests of the city in a
broad sense.

tion hi a few words it is" a law pro
viding ror a tax levy to, Jugli school
purposes upou every dollar of taxable
property in the county, for the pur
pose of stimulating high school work.
It provides for the tuition of tran
sient students to. any high school
in the county. It also prov'idos that
auy school to get the b?nflt of this
must have special high school work.
Taken altogether, the law has
wirked fine and equally benefits the
first class districts a- d the small
county schools. Several of the prin
cipals gave their opinions of the law.
Professor Tooze said: "It is imi.os-
sililo for the high school 'o give a boy
or girl a liuisbed education iu any of
the trades or profB8ioiis, but by giv
ing him or her soma of it all, it allows
rhem.to rind themselves.
Two talks on high schools followed.

lessor Toozo. rrotessor lj. U. Alder
