KJntererl In Oregon City Postoffice Rncrmd-Clam Mll. . SUBSCRIPTION RATES. Six months Palo lo advance, per yar tl EASTERN CLACKAMAS. Ooe of the first thoughts that would ocoar to the traveler pa-sing through the Southeastern eeetiou of U ackamas couuty is that it is too had that soim nf ti n arant irauk railway lines 00 nnf. traverse this section of the Mute, m it is the unanimous opimou of all observers that the broad prairies of Mm Mnllln nonntrv cannot be sur- nnoanil In this or hiiV oilier State. It is very fortunate thut the prospers are so flattering for the immediate ooustructiou ot a railway to that vicinity. . , Mauv farmers in the New iMiglaud states liave beta mystified on reading stories of tho wonderful productive ness of the Willamette valley, but when they have actually visited the eaBtorn section of Clackammas county they are satisfied that tint truth has not been half told. A broad, undu lating prairie with deep, rich soil, capable ot producing any kind of cror; that can be grown on the Pacific slope, greets the eye of the home seeker as he omerges from picturesque hills oloser to t'u Willamette river Beautifal farms, with flue houses are everywhere in evidence and general thrift and pros;:.;rity is visiblo in every direction. But it is not agriculture alone that renders this locial (y one of the most prosperous parts of the state. It is also ouo of the best localities for the production of all kinds of fruit to bo found iu the West. No bottot apples oan be produced anywhero than ar raised iu the foothills at the eastern seotion of the county. Besides apples, peaches, plums, pears, berries and in fact all kinds of fruit can be raised with little effort in this attractive seotiou of tho Btate. Tho finest: hops crown iu the world are among tho most remunerative products of tin favored locality. Of late a few of the lai ger holders of lauds have boeu disposing of soino of their ground, and the ton acre men are enoroachmg ou the territory. The time is probably not far dlntan when tho entire valley will be divid ed up Into smaller holdings and iuteu silled farming will be the rule rather than the exception. With smaller farms the oouuiry could sustain a pop ulatlou many times more than are at nroseut ensairod in the cultivation of the laud and with a more in tot) Be oul tivatiou there would be a correspond lug inoroaso iu production. What ii now one of the most prosperous parts of the state could be made to iuorease its outuut on all classes of farm pro duotB, and eastern Olackamns could be pointed to us the gem of the Will amette valley. After hiB visit to tho Willamette valley last fall Jumna J. Hill, the great empire builder, said: "The day of the large farm is past. What you want, is the man who will take ten acres and cultivate it thor . onghly. The man who takes tin aoros of your rich land and works it aa it should bo worked oan easily Wake f!i,000 a year. Ten acres in tin Willamette valley should bo as vulu '" able from the standpoint of produc tiveness and earning power as ItiO aoros in Minnesota, Wisconsin, 1111 noia and some other stales iu that sec tion. I do not knew of any land any where hat will compare with your land here. " right according to tho cbancollor, but universal arbitration was ae impossi ble of accomplishment as universal disarmament. The Herman govern ment was willing to compare notes with England ou tho question of na val construction, in order that one nation should not gain an advantage over tho other, but that Was as far as they were willing to go. There is not much likelihood that the British (ioiornmout will tako the Herman naval uuthoritiHs into their coufidi nee and reveal their socrets of naval eon-ti-ruotinu, as Kngland's pride from timo inineinorial has bonn tho superi ority of her navy over all tue nations of the earth. Tnero is quite a strong oeace nanv in tho Kioehstiig, but they are nor strong enough to exert any influence iu shaping the policy ol the government. Champ (Jlari. 's jocular speech coultohh favorinir tho acquisition (.lunula was cited by tho chancellor as an indication that even the united States was looking out for more woilds to conquer Clonal loresta ny tne governrneu with the hearty co-operation of tl: stockmen, under effective method wliioli have iu view both the largeBi possible measure of service to the public trom the forests and the fullest uroniotiou of the welfare of the stock industry itselt, consistent with th 8 rvice. NO UNIVERSAL PEACE. Universal pouco received a terrible Jolt in tho Gorman Keichstag on Sat urday last Just as the world at large was trying to niako itself be lieve that the days of tho great wars were uumborod and that universal peace was nar at hand, the imperial ohancellor of Germany, Count Von Hollwig, declares, and ho undoubted ly gpealis from the authority of the great kaiser limn-elf, that universal peace is not possible, that thy arma ment of tho nationB must go on and that tho inevitable result will bo that the weaker nations will be compelled to submit to the domination of tlin Btronger ones As long as men are men the disarmament of nations will be an unsolvablo problem. The mil lions spout tor tho construction of the great peace congress building at uda-rVsth will go fur naught if the imperial ohancellor of Germany has authority to dictate to tho nations of the earth the policy to ho pursued on one of the greatest problems that ever confronted civilized governments The countless treasure mutually spent for the support of great armii s and navies must go on, and the millions of soldiers and sailoia that are kept constantly in readiness to battle for ' gome imaginary grievance, instead of being returned to industrial pursuits, will continue to be a burden on the tax-ridden people of the poverty stricken countries of Europe. The priuoiplu of arbitration was all DEMOCRATS WILL BE GOOD. If the Democratic majority iu the house of representatives can suoee in adhering to the policy adopted by tho caucus meeting ot; Saturday, Ihey will go a long way toward making the country bolieve that they are sin cere in endeavoring to carry out the nlodges made to the people. They proposo to trim down tho woiki ig force of the m in employed by the house something like $200,000, and will retain only sufficient clerical help to supply the actual requirements of the committees. Tho following resolution was unanimously adopted Resolved that the .Democratic members ot vaiious committees of the house aro dircctod not to report to the louse during this first session of diid congress, unless hereafter uirecteo by tins caucus, any legislation except in refereuce to tne following matters: 1. Election of United Htat'JS sen ators by vote of tho people 2 Legislation roterriug to tne publicity of campaign contributions before and after eloctioti. 8. The Canadian reciprocity agreement. General tariff legislation and legislation atlectiug tho revenues nf the government. "4. The reapportionment of the house to conform to the l.'lth census. "5. Resolution of inquiry and res olutious' touching ou investigations of exeotutive departments. "(i. The admission of territories of Arizona and Mew Mexico. "7. Any deficiency bills that the exigencies of the government may re- ciuire to be considered at this time and bills to correct the enrolling of the appropriation bills passed March 4. Bill. "8. Legislation relating to Dis trict of Columbia. " Tho only stumbliug block against carrying out their eood intentious is the paragraph relating to a general rovisiou or the tarilr. JNo one can fortcll what that will lead to. If they would cut the words "general tariff revision' out of their program for the extra session and await the coming report of tho expert tariff commission next Decumber they could then have some reliable data on which to formulate the downward schedules demanded by the Democratic party. But the aveiage Democrat cannot re sist. the opportunity of legislating for reveuuue only, and the probabilities aro that the turn so will be flooded with hills, designed to lower the duties ou all products except articles prod need iu the district in which the congressman lives who nilroduoea the measure. The caucus adopted a resolution to prevent filibustering which will meet with tho approval of the country at large, but the fact that ouly throe or four northern congress men received chairmanships of com mittees will not be pleasant news to e states iu which the Democrats must rely for votes if they hope to,suc- eed in electing their next presiden tial candidate. The secretary of agriculture has ap proved a revised form of the grazing retaliations which govern use of tho national forest ranges. Iu the opin ion of the department otllcerB, the most important departures from the dd regulations aro lou d, first, in the act. that provision is made for recog nition of a permanent national ad visory board representing the sheep and cattle interests, which will con for annually with the secretary of ag riculture concerning grazing matters; and secondly, in the laying down of a ulo that on forests where the quality of range and advantages for raising cattle and sheep aro equal, the year long rate tor sheep after the seasou of 1111 will be thirty per cent of the earlong rate lor out tie While no radical changes in the regulations lave been made, Secretary Wilson has aret'ullv considered all modifications iroposed witli a view to improving tho system of glazing administration. As a result ot Ins eontoicnces with tiio representatives of tho stockmen's associations, a number ot changes were made iu tne details concerning the conditions under which owners may surrender, transfer, or renew ap- ilio.ttiiiu lor grazing privileges liotli he department and the stockmeu are anxious to prevent speculation in grazing privileges, ami suggestions, tor minor modi Hen t ion of tlie rules, ffered by the stockmeu to this cud. were readily accepted. It is the ex pressed belief of Secretary Wilson that the new regulations mark a step for ward in the administration ot the lia The principle of making the college ot direct, practical swrvioe to every taxiMVnr ot the state of Oregon, demonstrated iu a striking manner by the Oregon Agricntural College in l new correspondence course in farm accounting and business methods, given by the school of commerce un dor Dean J.

Mr. O'Gor man is one of the supreme court jus tices of the state of New York and re ceives a salary of $17,600 a year, al most three times as much as he will receive as senator. In an outline his policies he states that he is iu fa vor of an immediate revision of th tariff downward, reciprocity with Canada, the parcels post, fortifying the Panama canal, direct election ot senators and the federal income tax Judi;e O'Gornian was born in New York Uitv in 18(10, is married ana has nine children, lie is a Catholic and a member of a number of Caholio soci eties. The Miuiioeota legislature has passed a law requiring the publka tion of the personal property tax list in the official paper of th county The object of the law is to enable everyone to Know now niucn in neighbor has underestimated his per sonal belongings and how much he stands iu with the powers that make the assessment. rsy the publication of the complete tax roll they hope to lessen tho liability of the owners ot porsonal property to render Btateuieuts to county assessors tar below their actual value. Every time China has trouble with some other nation it ends by being compelled to cede a portion of her territory to the country claiming iu demnity for imaginary wrongs. Eug and.

Tho commission form of government lor cities is becoming very popular in tho itiiist, where business men gen orally have become convinced that thoro is no reason why business priu ciples should not apply to the admin stralon or city atlans.
