Six mouths Palo In advance, per year SI 0 FENCE TOO HIGH The matter of the Courire's attitude in supporting sorao of the crtndidati for the various ortiros at, the fall elec tion has been assailed by onr genial triond and townsman, .Mr. Job Oliufc tlirongh the colaraus of tli Enterprise, appearing in the last isso or that onntomnornrv with its con gloinorute assembly ownership. In tlie editorial which appears tinder tl head of "p?r onp.llycon(lnr,ed," there appears b-tween tlie lines a common juggling of sophistry, a moistoning of the linger tips and carefully pressing down the eyelids of the voters, thu they runy nut too the hold and affront lng lim'8 or assemhlyism. In this editorial the writer attempts to place tlie Conner in the light of a vasoillating sheet, inconsistent and not true to politicnl partisanship or principle, because it saw fit to urge the defeat or. Mr. Chalteo, an anti assembly candidafo for the office of joint representative. Again, the (Jonrinr is censured by the standpatters for its attitude aganist the Chamberlain-Bourne gu bernatorial candidate, both on tlie Deniooratio and Republican sides. There is a principle back of tlie Courier's policy and it does not be hove that it is right for the people of Oregon City, Clackamas conuty, tlie state of Oregon or the nation to go right ahead supporting and voting for every tool of political clianes just be cause he is plastered all ovur the front with "let the people rule. V We want tlie people to rule, and that in dead carnost, and not through tlie subserv ioncy of a disingenuous and maladroit pair commonly known as (ieorge and Jonathan who are endeavoring through their flummery to set up their little kingdom through the allurement of having been washed in the Jordan seven times and are working for tlie "oeinnion folks." All tommyrot. What matters it to tlie Courier wheth er west De a l-.iiu l eijam jj mocrat or a Bourne Republican, or both, as he is, is it a wis'i prec dent to accept the dictation of a pair who CAN NAME THE GOVERNOR Ob' ORE GON? The Oonrier lielioves in letting the people know ju: t whete it stands in these matter-, und lu s..o.v the thou sands of voters who have stood with the Conrior in its voicing better and oloanor politics, its opinion of the two prcsout candidates tor governor, the rotten and the rottener. It would profur to see a num-skull from the "appropriation oity" till the chair than to accept the dictum of the nn oontrolable Bowernian, who openly rosters one destruction or the people power. And now to Mr. Clark, another case or a try at whitewash, pure and siin pie. What the people want is an otfi oial who is sincere in his declara tions as to where he stands against this assembly. They wont have a man who yesturday was and today is not, or vice versa. Just as the Gour ior said last week, Clark is on the wrong side of the fence, and at every attempt to vault the people tack on auotnur Dotirci. xne people have ex pressed thenisolves quite plainly in Clackamas oounty, and one must protty nearly be an out-and-out diod-in-the-wool, old-time aiiti-assombly, Statement No. 1, primary law liver and believer to have even a look in. Oregon's agricultural produots this year will amount to no less than llti,000.000 according to the estimate of Dr. JauioB Withyooiuhe, director of the government experiment station at Corvallis. Add to this figure the many millions derived from its timbor manufactures, mining and ooniinerce, and it is not surprising that Oregon is such a prosperous state. Dr. Withyoombe's estimate of the year'B crops and their values follows : Live stock, $35,000,000; dairy produots, 1)4,000,000; wheat, 17,000,000 bushels, 1B,70,000; hay, 1)00,000 tons, $10, 000,000; oats, 11,000,000 bushels. 1(1,000,000; potatoes, 0, (KM), 000 bushels, fl,000,000: fruit, ,()00,000 ; poultry products, 3,000,000; wool, 20,000,000 jKiunds, $ 1,000,000; hops, 1)0,000 bales, $8,000,000; miscellaneous produots, 33. 350, 000, making a graud total of 115,000,000. The increase in livestock production throughout tho Northwest following tho establishment of a big market at Portland is bIiowu in receipts at the local packing plants, One day last week receipts at tho Btockyards" wore over 4000 head. These animals wore shipped from various localities in Ore gon, Washington, Idaho and Montana and such deliveries show that the monoy formerly going East for large shipments of livestock is boiug kept here at home. BANK BENEFITS This bank is a benefit to the commtmity impossible wlthoot its existence. A safe, convenient place Is offered for the people's money; methods are furnished for carrying on business with safety and accuracy; the people have a place where they can go to borrow money. The bank is an advantage to the commu nity at large also to each customer in par ticular. Do you want particular benefits? The Bank of Oregon City MEW AND PRINCIPLES The voters of Clackamas county wi vote pretty much as a solid body favor of every anti-assembly Candida if lie has been found true to the prin niples of Statement No. 1, and the primary laws, and will register strongly just the opposite if they be lieve him to be playing the political game and endeavoring to fool tl voters by any olaim to those princi pies, without a proper demonstration They can pin their faith on a man who has helped to keep these princi pies alive during the past four years, and they are just as surely aware that they should not.throw the power into the hands of those who have just discovered (since the big majority was rolled up) that the people wore on the right side, and that the assembly, which they labored diligently bring into life themselves, is entirely wrong, and they always knew it, etc, etc. Such declarations at this stage of the game revert back to their ow detriment and hang about their necks like millstones. The offices of sheriff and county judge this fall are of particular inter est to the voters, in that they come under this very head. There are two candidates that have been followers of Statement Nu. 1 and the primary laws and have worked against the assembly, not for the mere fact that they were endeavoring to be elected to any office, but years before any such thought euetered their minds they have demonstrated where they stood as regards the few good laws that the common people of this state have secured. These two men are Ernst Mass, the Democratic candidate for sheriff, and Robert B. Beatie, to be tlie county judge. These men are pre-eminently fit for the places they seek, as the people well know, and their names are the very slogan throughout the conntv lor all that stands for gentlemanlv, honorable sta bilitv of character and trustfulness, tried and true, "and riot wavering from one side to another as the dictum' of any clique or class might dictate subservient to the people's rights, in dicativo of all that tends to better and cleaner politics. What more can the peoplo of this county ask for to take charge of their affairs, look after their finances, proportion their funds, improve their highways, and the thousand and one acts that will be left these men, and which througl the years past have been done to the complete satisfaction of all as far any official duties in which theyhave been interested. Candidates with the taint of assem bly are bound to be snowed under in Clackamas, and only the purest Bin cere advocates will have a ghost of a show, TRUTHFUL JONATHAN Jonathan Bourne, Jr., believes in telling the people the truth, at auy rate. In his Chicago speech Tuesday, he said: "Many publlo officers secure and have secured their positions through rings backed by corporations with selfish interests to promote and special privileges to promulgate. But the people are awake and subservience to the political boss is coming to an end. " We get this through press despatch es und no doubt Mr. Bourne nttered these words. If he did he i surely giving the people warning sufficiently early about that little game he and Chamberlain are putting up to poke into office Oswald West. He never spoke nearer the truth than in the last eight words as quoted above. An energetio campaign will be car ried on throughout;the Northwest for more nog raisers, f ollowing a con fereuce at Spokane dnring the past woeK, it was decided to get the rail roads, the agricultural colleges and the newspapers to work in co-opera tion to arouse interest among the farmers. An information bureau on tho hog question will be maintained by the Portland Union Stockyards company and a systematic effort made to turn the attention of the farm pop ulation toward tins profitable indus try. President Louis Hill of the Great Northoru, accompanied by a party of prominent business nion of Minnesota, have toured the Northwost during the past week and investigated business conditions. They were entertained in Portland by the Uommeioial Club. At a dinner given them they expressed the opinion that no sootion of the country can show thojprosperous cou- ltions round in the Pacino North west states. Sumpter will hold a mining con groBs Octobor 20 and 21 that will at tract attention from milling men from all districts of the state us well as many from nearby states. There is considerable revival of mining in the Sumpter distriut particularly aiid on this accouut'there is a groat deal ot interest in tlie coming gathering. The Miltou-Frae water district is turning off a fruit crop that will reach a total value of WOO, 000. This is more than that sootion has evor be fore produoed. Not only were crops of all fruits heavy, but the quality was high and the prices socured were excellent. Oregon City Oregon f e n is . R. B.

The annle crop of Oregon for 1910 is estimated to be 1600 carloads or up proximately 1,000,000 boxes. The val ue of the crop is a,000,000. Oregon has U3 per oent of a full crop. During the past five years statistics show that Oregon lias increased eu per cent in manufacturing. Oregon orchards yielded prunes this year estimated at 16.000,000 pounds, Quantity and quality are superior to the 1909 crop. Prunes will bring the state about $1,280,000 this season. The peaoh'crop has been the largest n the history of the state. Grapes of the Rogue River valley, the Willam ette valley, The Dalles and Eastern Oregon are excellent in quality and appearance, while the yield is large. The largest fruit and vegetable evaporator in the United States is lo- oated at Daytou, Yamhill oounty. The Willamette valley produoed 100,000 bales of first grade hops this season, as compared with a yield of 82,000 bales last season. Oregon's cranberry harvest has been heavy. Four hundred bushels an acre, with a clear profit of 'i a bosh el, is not an unusual yield for Western Oregon marshes. An Industrial bureau has been es tablished by the Portland Commercial Olnb, with R. W. Raymond at' its head.

Remember the name Doan's and take no other. The oity conucil at its meeting Tuesday evening went into the matter of the remonstrance against the im provement of Monroe street, which has grown to considerable extent and it new looks as if this street would have to wait uutil another year before anything can be done on it, as tlie property holders are of the opinion that there are enough improvements going on about the city and it is jast as well to let the street rest that their property abuts on. The matter is in the hands of the oity attorney, and it is quite probable that the improve ment of this street will not be carried on this year. The oouncil aocepted the bids of Harry Taylor for the improvement of Jetterson street, and the mayor and the recorder were ordered to enter in to a oontrao; with Mr. Jones for the faithful preformanoe of the work, ac cording to the plans aud specifications of the city attorney. The city engineer was instructed to proceed with the plans and specifics lions for a sower south ot Third street between Jefferson and the bluff. The old wooden awnings that have been stretching oul over the sidewalks throughout this city must come down and that before October 18th, is the edict given ont by the council at speoial nieetiug held Wednesday night, and Chief ot Police Burns made the rounds of the city notifying all who might be interested in the ordinance. The ordinance also calls for the taking down of all signs that protrude out over the walks, and tnese are ordered to be placed flat against the buildings. This ordinance is meeting with the approval of all the citizens, as it is another step towards the city beautiful. Red Cross Christmas Stamps What "A Million for Tuberculosis from Red Cross Soahi" will do in the checking of consumption, is explained in a bulletin issued by the National Association for the Study aud Pre veution of Tuberculosis. Counting every available bed for consumptives in the United States, even those in almshouses, peuai insti tntions and hospitals for the insane, there are at the present time accom modatious for hardly 80,000 tuberculo sis patients. Tins 18 nst about one bed for every ten iudigont oonsouip tives, and if all tuberculous persons in tlie country are counted, both ricn and Door, hardly one for every twenty-five or thirty.' If snfUoient hospital accommodtions are provided only for those who ate too poor to pay the full price for their treatment, ful ly 27o.OOO more beds in special insti tntions for tuberoulosis would be needed at once. The immense ontlay necessary to provide and maintain so many beds in hosnitals, makes it lm pertive, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis declares, that such'iustitutions be erected from public money, either munioipal, county or state. In order to get appropriations for pubho hos pitals for tuberoulosis, agitation is necessary, and in older to create a campaign of agitation, organization is demanded. Jiut in order tnac an organization may carry on an effec tive campaign, funds are needed. These funds it is proposed to secure in as many communities as possible from the sale of Red Cross seals. The National Association cites one illustration ot the way in which a small sum spent in eduoation has se cured large appropriations. The New York State Charities Aid Association in the throe years, 1908, 1909 and 1910 has spent in the up-state portion of New York about $55,000 in arousing the people to the dangers of tuberculo sis. As a direct result of the urjiic sentiment produoed by this outlay, the state, county and muuioipal authori ties have already appropriated for tu. berculosis work $1,500,000 and ap propriations for hundreds of thousands of dollars are pending. Hundreds of hospital beds, have been provided, and the Association already aims for "No Uncared for Tuberculosis in 1915. Thus, the National Association says if a million dollars is realized from the sale of Red Cross seals, millions more will be added to it from the public treasuries. Last year 25,000,- 000 stamps were sold. It is aimed this year to sell four times as many. NEW COUNTIES.
