A MERE BEU1NNIN0-
The editor of the Courier is pleased
to be recognized as a "butter in ' as
depicted in the local Sunday sheet,
dictated slush from the high-ups, ()
and regrets that he didn't live in
Oregon City several years ago when
reiKOod the graft and deplorable con.
ditions yet somowhat continuing, de
tracting bo much from the fatuous old
towu and retarding its growth.
Tliero is in many cities the insa
tiable desire of a few to always be at
the head of every little petty doings,
like so many country fair promotions,
thinking such places euiinont. Ore
gon City is no worse than some oth
ers, but such lias been prominent, and
the better, more educated element
seems to have been unable to shake
themselves liose from the bondage.
We fool to a degree the uusliaokled
position of the Courier, not owned
and controlled by any clique of poli
ticians or corporations with only an
hired man to put into its columns
that which pleases the fow with no
voice of his own, but is free too say
what it elects that will assist in
bringing to the people's attention the
twisted courses of some of our so
called leaders, who are in reality but
uneducated, illiterate loaches that
have been sucking the life blood from
the brawn and muscle of those who
were striving to keep up a just posi
tion in which our city could easily
have been placed had someone "but
ted in" a little earlier in the game.
As to "consistency," the Courier
nrged, in a "civilized" manner, de
lay at the hands of our counoilnion
and mayor on the granting of the
Mouut Hood franchise, but recognizes
the fact that changes for the better
from tho old condition will oouie
slowly, and perhaps not fully until
more radiual chauges have been
brought about. This is only the be
ginning. It matters little to the edi
tor of the Courier whore the renova
tion is made, so long as success at
tends, whether it be in our hurry-up
council of extravagance, our mayor
or our "caBtlo on the hill," with its
three-inch, out-of-plnmb walls,
through an inoouipoteut contractor.
Five dollar fountain pens, even in
bushel lots, should not be permitted
to stand between tho taxpayers of
Oregon City, and their pocket books.
CORPORATION TAX CONSTITUTIONAL.
The supreme court of the United
States has unanimously decided that
the corporation provision of the
Pavue-Aldrich taritr law is oonstitu
ioual, and thus $20,(100,000 is yearly
added to the revenues of tho govern
ment. Probably not even the next
Uemocratio house of representatives
will desire to repeal this law. but the
Morgan syndicate of magazines and
newspapers will probably call their
attention to the fact that this is one
of tho most obnoxious measures on
tho statnte books. The court finds
that it is not a direct tax, as was tiie
iuconiH tax, and is not imposed on
property simply because of ownership,
hut is hasod on doing business uudei
. speoifio giants of authority. The
jf provisions or me act iuud an ui
f norations doing a business of $5,000
; or moro per annum to pay' a tax of
one per cent in excess of that amount.
The features that have bnuu of tho
most oouoern to those that opposed
the tax wore those that involved the
making of statements regarding busi-
unB4 transactions and tho claim that
the nut iB discriminatory and in fa
vor of partnerships. The claim is
mado that it is unfair to luvy a tax
on a corporation anil not to lovy a tax
on a partnership. This decision will
probably result in the diminution of
the number of corporations and the
iuoroase in the number of partner
ships. Undoubtedly tlioo must be
Bomo advantage in tho corporation
form of doing business or it would
not have taken the place of partner
hi)i so largely, and that is what tho
tax is levied for.
The dairying lmuiBtry in Oregon
has not been very prosperous during
tho past two or throe years, but at the
prose t time the outlook seuins hotter
and it now looks us if the farmers
havo increased their supply of milk
oowa and tho prospects are that the
dairy output will he larger this soa
son than ever before. The Portland
creameries report an increase of re
ceipts of butter fat or 85 per ceut over
tho month of . February of the past
year, and this indicates that moro at
tention is being paid to the industry
and that they are keeping only cows
that bring tno best results. There is
still chance for tho business to in
crease, and increase it must, as tho
large influx of immigrants this yeiir
will increase the demand for dairy
products at least twenty per cent.

IRRIGATION IN THE WILLAMETTE.
A number of years ago the govern-
....f niorla an ill VAHt.l atlOn Of tll6
possibilities of irrigation in the Will
amette vaney. axijuiiuicuio u.
been made by the government experts
and by the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege and side by side the same things
have been grown with and without
irrigation and these experiments have
proven that water applied to the
crops during the growing season has
increased the yield in numerous in
stances to 180 per cent. The farmers
of the Willamette valley have fcuown
for years that tboy could raise more
than twioe as mucn on tneir sun jhu
vided the rainfall was more plentiful
during the middle oi me summer, uui
the matter of irrigating meir iauu n
hoon cnnHidored too exnensive for any
one farmor to consider.
A few months ago a syDUicaie oi
Portland men, after a thorough inves
tigation, became convinced that the
...i. in in.TuuuB the nonulation
of the Willamette valley was to divide
the farmiuR land up into smaller
holdings, and that the only way that
the holders or small tracts uuuiu uiuno
it profitable to cultivate the same
would be to provide a syBtem of irri
gation that would euable them, at
small expense, to have all the wator
dosired and at times when it was
most needed. This syndicate pro
cured several thousand aores near
West Slayton and will divide it np
into ave and ten acre tracts, and by
constructing a canal about four miles
in length, procure suficient water to
irrigate the entire tract. The water
will not only produce two or three
times the yield, bnt it will enable the
farmer to grow many things which
without water he cannot raise at all,
the country being now under irriga-

land, although here and there a small
orchard proves that it can do maue a
great fruit country, in fact even
without water it is well known as a
wonderful strawberry country.
PROUD OP HIS RECORD.
On Saturday last Former President
Roosevelt touched the electric button
that opened the gates of the great
Rnosovelt dam on the Salt river in
Arizona. In the course of a few re
marks at the ceremonies in honor of
the event the ex-pruBident thanked
the men who have charge of the con
struction of the rork for naming the
dam for him, as the subject of irriga
tion was very dear to his heart.
When it became neoessary to obtain
a strip of laud across the Isthmus of
Panama for the purpose of construct
ing the canal the Roosevelt adminis
tration wbs oharged with virlating
the neutrality laws of the Central
American republics, olaiming that
there was no precedent for his unwar
ranted action. That the Colonel was
a man of action and was not looking
for preoetleut iB shown by "the follow
ing remarks at the close of his ad-
"The two material achievements
oonneoted with my administration of
which I am proud are this reclama

come so in connection with Panama
that I bad two alternatives before me.
One whs to write a report, with
re ommendations and put it before
oongress bo tliatthey might debate it,
in which esse thoy would be debating
it Btill and the Panama Canal would
have been 40 or 60 y' ars in the future.
The other was to take possession of
Panama, start tho canal, and thou
force congress to debate that instead
of the canal. The former alternative
is carried on with great spirit in cer
tain newsnaners to the nresent day,
and as long as it pleases them, I
certBinly have no objoction whatever.

If Oregon City is ever to grow It

The business meu of the town of
Chehalis, Wash., have set a mark for
the towns of the 6.000 olass by sun
scribing for over ifHO.CWO of the bouds
of tho Chehalis & Cowlitz railroad,
which is to be built immediately
from that city to the south and east
ern narts of Lewis county. Tho now
lino will briug to Chehalis a large
trade that has been recently diverted
to other channels. The buBiuoss men
of Chehalis got together and it was
pointed out to them that the salvation
of the oitv depended on the construc
tion of this road, and they lost no
tirao In subscribing for a snffioiont
number of bouds to complete the
work. The same conditions exist in
nmimn Oitv. and unless steps are
taken at onoe to secure the building
of tho road to the Malalla valley the
trade of that dosirame locality win
be forever lost to tins city.
Over seventy million acres of coal
land in the West is still owned b
Uncle Sam. The coal content of this
land is enormous: it can ba figured
only in hundreds of billions of tons.
Some tracts aro of immense value,
containing bods of coal of the highest
grade, i)0, 40, 50, and even 80 foet or
more in thickness. The old way was
to sell the coal land, regardless of val
ue, at the absurd figure of 10 an acre
if it was moro than 15 miles from a
railroad or at $J0 if within that limit.
The present way is to measure the
coal in an acre and sell the land at a
nrice determined by its content of
coal. As a result coal land has . been
priced as high as $100 au aore and one
tract at even $(100 an aero bince

Immense throngs of tourists are
daily arriving in Portland and depart
ing for different localities tnrougiiouT
the state. Has Oregon Oity made any
effort to secure the location of any
of these intending settlers in our
midst? What inducements have we to
offer to these thousands of honieseek-
ers? Do we need more factories, and
if so what kind? Have we a sufficient
number of business houses to supply
the trade in this vicinity? Are we in
need of more lawyers, doctors, me
chanics or laborers? Or are we satis
fied with what we have and willing
to leave the field free to communities
less advantagoously situated? These
are questions for our citizens to ask
themselves, and if they are satisfied
with the present situation then there
is no necessity to send out literature
inviting people to a field already oo
oupiod. For inoroasing the yield on worn
out wheat lands Prof. Shaw of the
California University recommends
deop plowing, the deeper the better
nine inches to a foot. He says Ilia.
probably !)0 per cent of the wheat
laud in Ualilornia is piowoa Bemom,
if ever, more than four or five inches
deet). and as a result it lessens the
ability of the soil to absorb moisture
freely. According to reports tne
average yield of wheat throughout the
state is fourteeu bushels, but in local
ities where deop plowing has been
practiced the yield has been as high
aa thirty bushels per aore.
