Six months W Palu in advance, per yar $1 5(j The Republican voters of Clacka mas county will be Riven the privilege of voting next Saturday upon the var ious candidates who have come be fore them for their acceptance or re jection at the primaries, and we are glad to state that there are but very lew who have not seen fit to come out boldly and not only sign Statement No. 1, but tiiere are many wno nave from the outset been strong advocates of the right and privileges or the peo ple and their desire to have this con tinued. In this movement the Courior has been the prime factor iu keeping these principles before the people and the candidates as well aud has in no small manner been instrumental in the advocation of these better laws by snch candidates. Yet it is a self evi dent fact that there are a few in Clackamas county who are yet blind to their own interests and the inter ests and welfare of their noighbors. The Courier lias endeavored to in still into the minds or the noopie a sincerity of purpose and ultimately the support of candidates who wore making au honest endeavor and were sincere of a truth in an effort to wise ly legislate or operate according to the demands and dictation of the peo ple whose trust and confidence 1ms so many vears been flagrantly disregard ed. The rule of Oregon has for years been in the hands of the Republican party and there has been given to the people a weapon of defense against corruption and political boss rule, but there is one thing needful to properly continue tiie work so well in hand, and tiiat is the endorsing of the proper candidate for state senator. This is one of the vory important oillces at the hands of the people aud there should not be the slightest equivocation or secret evasion on the part of any voter in making his se lection. Standing out alone as an earnest and conscientious advocate of better principles of government Walter A. Dimick is commanding the attention of every votor and especially the Re publican voters before the primaries. His record bears the closest scrutiny. The few years of his life since gradu ating from Paoifio University iu 1901 have been full of interest and pre eminently show the man to be jest what he is straightforward, honest in his convictions, unassuming and altogether a most desirable citizen and a man to whom the people can trust their affairs at Salem. Following Mr. Dimick's finish of school work he was admitted to the bar in 1904 and has since been en gaged in the practice of law in this oity, at no time leaving his home town for his business pursuits. In 11)08 he was elected member of the legislature, serving in the lower house, during which servioo he sus tained hiB reputation as a tiuo advo cate of better citizenship, heading the fight against aud defeating the bill introduced to legalize and roooguize assemblies and conventions whore his opon opposition to bossism in politics began and from which time to the present he has kopt up a constant bombardment against such govern ment wrecking policies. When tlio bill was introduced making it a crime to sign Statement No. 1, Mr. Diuiick was on the floor from the llrnt, and with unrelenting vigor waged a war of defeat. It will b) roonllod that tho last session of tho house was not al together a smooth one and it took a man of stability of purpose aud strength of character to always be found with the common people iu their battle for just aud wholesome legislation. It will also he recalled that an attempt was mado to crowd through a bill to repeal the people's mstruotion measure enacted at the last general election under the initia tive, instructing the members of the legislature to vote for the people's choice for United States senator. Tho bill was dofuatod and Mr. Dimick stood as a leader iu tho tight, as lie was also against tho normal school ring, which was smashed. Iu this session there also surrepti tiously appearod the constitutional convention bill, and thin, as well as all measures that had a tingo of graft, camo in for its shore of tho unrelent ing efforts of Mr. Dimick and his cot leagues to keep Oregon clean.

Roseburg is the latest rorumnnity to testify that consistent publicity work pays. Within tne past montn ibiu ilieB have notified Publicity Manager Schlosser, of the Roseburg Commer cial Club, of their intention to locate in the vicinity or that place auring the comiug winter and spring. Chehalis, Washington.. . is doing some good work in advancing new methods of burning out stumps on loggnd off lands. The Citizens' Club of Chehalis recently held demonstra tions of the cliar pit method of burn ing stumps and the tests were very successful. It is thought the general adoption of this means ot oleariug cutovor lands will be of great value to the Pacific Northwest. Portland people will turn out to Pendleton's "Roundup," which will be held on September !i9, SO and Octo ber 1. The Portland Commercial Club will orangize an excursion in cluding ninny business men of the me tropolis who want to see the Wild West stunts of the cowboys and tin many attractions offered. There will be thrills 'a plouty for the visitors. The program as now outlined offers many tilings reminiscent of the real frontier. Portland Day at the State Fair at Salem was one of the biggest days in the history of that organization. Ex cursions from Portland took 2400 peo ple from the metropolis. The weather was perfect and a warm welcome was given the visitors upon their arrival at the capital. Tho excursion from Portland was run under the auspices of the Portland Commercial Club and special greetings were given by the city and state officials at Salom. The Portland visitors were highly pleased with their reception and the general excellence of the fair, which was a crodit to the whole state. The vanguard of the fall colonist travel from the East and Middle West to Oregon is arriving on every train. Reports from the immigration officials of the railroads are to the effect that this travol will he heavy and that a large number fof new citizens will reaoh Oregon this year. People of the state should make special efforts to welcome the newcomors and make tlmm ftel at home in their new en vironment. Help should be given in ehiiug thorn find suitable locations. Oregon poople have a distinct duty to perform iu giving am ana comrort to the homosoeker who will be with us in largo numbers this fall. The Stato Good Roads Association is very anxious for the people to be come bettor acquainted with petition 864 on the ballot, which reads: "No county shall create any debts or lia bilities which shall siugly or in the aggregate exceod the sum of $5000. except to suppress insurrection or re pel invasion or to build permanent roads within the county,;but debts for pormauont roads shall be incurred on ly on approval of a majority of those voting on the question." Thoso at work for tho passage of the amend ment permitting the bonding of the oounty for road work say it will be the biggoBt Btop Oregon has made toward permanent improvement for a long time. Soattle was stnrtlod last week by the news of the biggest gold robbery ever successfully perpetrated iu the annals of gold mining in Alaska. From a shipment of gold sent from Fairbanks tofSoattlo. $57,000 was mys teriously extracted andflumps of lead substituted. The robbery was not dis covered until the shipment reached the Seattle assay office. Officers of the Htoamor Huuibolt do not think it possible that the trick was turned after tho gold was'loaded on that ves sel. Olllcials of tho government sor vico in the North believe that the work was done by a olevor Bet of criminals on the Vukou River boat which oarriod the gold out from Fair banks. Tho caso in which the stoleu gold was packed was openod without breaking t(io seals, and so cleverly nailed up agaiu that the breaks in the iron bands around it wovo not noticed until a CBreful inspection was made at'tor the loss was discovered. Crimes similar to this have been attempted heforo, but nover witli BU.cce.HB, and tho government seoret servioe agents are on thoir metal, straining evory effort to looato the guilty parties. nmniint.

OREGON CITY As the timo draws near when the voters throughout the state shall have an opportunity to cast their ballot for the various candidates who are ap pearing before them for their endorse ment or rejection there appears much reason for some strong talk iu refer ence to much trickery aud dishonesty and insincerity ot purpose.

The times have changed, and with it Imvn enmn men who can be pointed to with pride.

From the host of candidates that have placed their names before the people there are some that stand out cloarly aud well donned as supporters of a oimmon prinoiple. To the votors we can ronmmnnnri tllAMA wit.h fervor ftlld CaU- dor, knowing that the trust will not be misplaood. The flow of imniigrtition into the Northwest lias received a new impe tus this month through the inaugura tion by leading railroads of colonist rates from eastern points to tho Northwest. These rates have for merly been coufinod to a fow mouths in the spring, when the westward tra vel of new settlers has always boen heavy. People have the moving spirit in the spring season, and for that reason the speoial rates have always been advertised at that season. Now the railroads have decided that wise settlers will come west in the fall when business is at its bout. If they take up laud or buy farms they have the winter to prepare lor the spring sowing, to erect nocossary buildings, fences, sto. Reports of the first few davs of the autumn colouist rates on the Northern Pacific indicate that the plan will bo a success, and other roads will probably handle a goon business. An uniform westbound rate of $25 from St. Paul and Missouri river points, f.f!! from Chicago aud $Yi from St. Louis has been made to attract newcomers. International Congress on Tuberculosis Official announcemeut of tho Sev enth International Congress on Tuber culosis was made from the American headquarters by the National Associa tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberoulosis. The congress will be held in Rome in l'Jll from Soptemher 24 to 80. This gathering, whioh moets every threclyears, anil was last held iu Washington, D. 0., in 1U08, will be under the direct patrouage of the king aud quoon ot Italy. The socretary-general is Professor Vittorio Asooli, and tho presidont Profossor Ouido Ilaooolli. It is expectod that au American committee of one hundred will bo ap pointed as the official body represent ing the United States. Estimating on tho present rate of inoreaio, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis an nounces that the American committee will be able to give a most fluttering report at tho congress. Thoy will I able to aunouuee that the number of tuberculosis agoncies iu this country has tripled iu the three years siuce tho hist international congress, and that more than twico as much money is being spent iu tho fight against consumption by private societies and iustitutions, aud also that tho ap propriations for tuberculosis work by federal, state, mnuioipal and county authorities have quadrupled. The congress at Kome will be in three lections, that on eitology aud causes of tuberculosis; on pathology and therapeutics, both modi ml and surgical ; aud on the social defense agaiuBt tuberculosis. The names of tho presidents of these sections will be announced in the near future. Drake for Joint Senator nr.

I w ill also oppose measures creating positions for office seekers. I endorse the direct primary law, and will op pose any measure, the pur pose of which is to nullify or repeal it.

J 4 f-3' t A inure has this advantage over a gelding -that when she has been In jured In mich a way as fo unfit bsr for work she cnu raise Just as good colls as when she was sound. A good share of that nasty muss In the barnyard following each heavy rain may be done awuy with by equip ping the barnyard slope of the euvos with piping or trough, which will tarry the water to the corner of the burn. Many a fnrm could be transformed merely through the adoptlou of long time louses, together with the follow ing of such agricultural and stock raising methods us the tenant would feel justified Iu going info as a result of a longer tenure of the land. There Is not one farming community hi a hundred where the Inhabitants make a practice of so handling the farm fertilizers as to get the most pos sible good out of them. Iu the vast majority of cases CO per cent of the fertilizing value of manures Is lost before It reaches the lund. The flock of hens closely confined should not only be given the grain, green food und water they need, but should be provided with a dust bath iu a good sized box. Finely pulver ized road dust Is excellent for the pur pose, nnd It will be the more effective If three or four pounds of powdered sulphur are added. Before selling the old homestead It may be a good Idea to call In a real estate agent to make a list of the points in Its favor as a selling preposi tion. It is quite possible when the catalogue of virtues is completed that you will think the farm plenty good enough to keep, as proved to be the case In an histance of which we heard the other day. It Is a mighty good thing for boys to have vacations and just as fortu nate that schools begin early in Sep tember, so that they can ouce more receive the benefit of system, orderli ness and study. Whether the summer Intermission has been spent entirely In recreation and sport or hard manual labor, the change will be a refreshing and beneficial one. Not very much in the way of mu nicipal progress can be claimed by any community which allows aristo crat or plebeian curs to swarm Its streets aud alleys and constitute au all round menace to the health, peace aud quiet of its Inhabitants. The levy ing of a five dollar dog tux Is usually the first tangible sign that any town Is awaking from Its long sleep. A headland of grass at the ends and sides of a tilled field usually much lm. proves Its appearance. The stuff that might be raised where the horses turn Is usually a poor stand nnd scraggly. If the headland Is lu some good grass a good bunch of hay may be secured, the strips are neater in appearance, and usually this neatness will extend to the roadside just over the fence. An interesting feature of the Spo kane npple show, which Is to be held the latter part of November, will be a display of apples on which there have been photographed portraits and scen ic views. Prizes will be offered for the best specimens. The skin of the apple Is especially sensitive to light, aud the results obtained are said to be more satisfactory than with photographic prints. All too often the fellow who wallows around In the barnyard mire In wet weather Is the same fellow who has a straw stack or two rotting In his fields. It's odd that such a fellow doesn't see the wisdom of scattering the straw In the barn yard and feed lot, getting rid of the mud and nt the same time mauufacturiug a lot of val uable fertilizer, which the average farm Is mightily in need of. Those who are suggesting seriously that our children and grandchildren may lack for the food wherewith to nourish their bodies have not taken stock of the fact that at present but one acre out of six is under Ullage In th,e United States and that this acre Is producing but half a normal crop of wheat, one-third of a normal crop of corn, of cotton less than a half crop and potatoes but one half. The dry spell which has prevailed In many of the north central states, greatly reducing the efficiency of the naslures, Is not bearing so heavily upon the fellows who have silos and who are able to supplement the short pastures with a good ration of silnge secured Inst fall. Thousands of other stock feeders and dulrymeh ought to have this economical safeguard against periods of drought. It would be sim ply a matter of foresight nnd good management. If, as Is said, beet sugar manufac turers are nifiklng close to 50 per cent on the money they have Invested In their plants the price they hand out to the grower $4 to $5 per ton looks a good deal like 30 cents when one figures the risk Involved In carrying the crop from secdiug time to storage bin. In the com belt at least, where a fellow can raise fifty bushels of corn per acre aud get from 50 to 70 cents per bushel, the beet sugar in dustry on the five dollar basis Is mak ing pretty slow progress.
