The property owners should look

ments, as a matter of invest
ment, that it will make the prop
erty more valuable than the mon
ey expended on it, and that as a

SHERIFF MASS IN IRONS.
Handouffed and Taken to Eugene
Monday Afternoon
The above head looks very
much like a heap of trouble for
the Courier, and before papers for
a libel action may be started, we
hasten to explain.
Sheriff Mass went down the line
all right,, there isn't any doubt of
that, and he went in irons too
just in the same way ho has taken
many of the boys down the same
line to do their times at the pen at
Salem. But so far we haven't
warded off that livel suit very
much, But facts are facts and in
this day of a "free press" we have
a right to state facts.
It took a dozen men to over
power the big sheriff, but they got
him. Mass fought hard when he
saw the handcuffs, and those close
up to the bunch say he begged and
pleaded a little on the side. But
there was nothing to it. The men
piled onto him, double teamed him
and buried him. Then the irons
were clasped on his wrists and he
was taken aboard the train.
But Sheriff Mass is old enough
and has had experience enough
not to have got caught in this
gang of "Hello Bills" and he got
just what he should have got for
his nerve.
. A special train went down to
Eugene to dedicate the Elks' tem
ple, and it had a bunch of tho us
ual jolly fellows, ever looking for
a chance to put over one of those
jokes that get onto the front pag
es of he newspapers. SheriffMass
was one of the many that just
happened to be at the depot when
the train pulled in, and the fellows
recognized him as one of thoir
herd. And they wanted the slier
iff to go along they might need
him, you know. Mass didn't want
to go he was slightly busy at
that stage of the game. But there
is no use arguing will an Elk, and
the sheriff should have known it.
The gang simply went to him,
piled over him, took away his
handcuffs, locked them on his own
wrists and loaded him on.
The moral is, if you don't want
to join the .Elks, don't hang ar
ound the depots.
Troubles at Gladstone.
Our cousin, Gladstone is having
a heap of trouble over a rath ir
small matter, and but for the fear
that pretty little city would tell
us to try the remedy on our own
city council, we would surgct
that a sound spanking and bo;ng
put to bed would be the proper
treatment.
The scrap is over the matter of
whether .1. K. Pardee sha". or
shall hot remain treasurer of the
city.
Mr. Pardee was treasurer if
Gladstone last year. J. C. Pad
dock was elected to succeed him
but failed to qualify. Later May
or Cross appointed him as treas
urer and the council confirmed it.
but he refused to serve. The
council then increased the bond
of the treasurer from one hun
dred to three thousand, and when
Mr. Pardee tendered his new bond
the mayor and council refused t.
accept it on the ground that e
was not tne treasurer, rarcew
refused to resign, and then recall
petitions were circulated. And the
the end is not yet. And Coui iy
Freasurer Tufts tells them to iid-
tie it before he will hand over the
taxes due that city.
Socialists will Name Full Ticket.
The Socialists met at Knapp's
hall Sunday, April 7, and business
of a general nature, pertaining to
the county local was transacted.
W. W. Myres was elected dele
gate to the stale convention, and
the county convention was called
for May 18th, it being the general
concentus of opinion that a full
county ticket be put in the field,
and a lively campaign be waged.
After the buiness meeting, W.
U'Ren was. invited to address
the meeting on the single tax is
sue, which he did, and which was
followed by some talk and ques
tions. The Socialists stale that they
welcome opposition, that they will
divide their lime with any man or
party, that all their meetings are
held with open doors, and all are
welcome.
The state Socialist convention
will be held in Portland April 18th
and 19th.
Card of Thanks.
Mrs. G. S. Randall and children
wish to thank their many friends
and neighbors for their kind as
sistance and sympathy during the
illness and death of their hus
band and father, and also for the
beautiful floral offerings.
A Pleasant Surprise.
A surprise party was given Mrs.
J. U. Ross Monday evening by the
neighbors of Lawton Heights, a
small and thriving suburb of Or
egon City, in honor of her twen
ty-second birthday. There was a
large attendance and the evening
was passed in games and a gener
al good time. But the best of all
was the supper.

NOT ALONE IN QUANTITY CAN YOUR
grocery money be made to go further. ou can save both'1 in quan

Quantity ALONE does not make a bargain. Quality is as necessary
as quantity in a bargain. For instancea pound of cheap coffee is far
dearer than a pound of moderate priced coffee. For
A pound of bad coffee'will not biew so many cups as a pound of
good Coffee.
So with most Groceries. All our goods are bargains both in
quantity and quality. Your Grocery money buys more here
than in any other store in town. .
A comparison of the followintftrlces wlthjthose charged by others will assure you ofur

Writer Wants Mr. Klenhoffer to
Answer Him.
Edtor Courier:
Allow me to ask Mr. Klenhoffer
again. Ho don t seem to unaer
tnnrl mv tiuestion or tries to
nvnid the aaostion. How are you
going to make the non-producer
nav taxes? I mean tho man tnai
does not labor. Don't try to get
away from fact that labor pays
all tax. for you admit it when you
say by having others labor for
him and get others to buy tne
nroduct. If tho man that buys
don't labor or get it from some
one that does labor, how could
he buv the product. In otner
words, how are you going to mako
ii narasito uay tax that is a non-
producer and lives off of other
lien's labor. For instance a young
man becomes of age today, is en
dowed with $1,000,000. Ho never
did a useful or a productive day s
labor in his life. Ho loans his
money or invests it in other propl
crl.v to rent or otherwise hires
captains to run his business, col
lects rents, interests and proms
from labor, resides in Ins auto,
goes to Seaside, does no produc
tive-work with his own hands uu
rintr his natural lifo. How, I say,
are you going to make him pay
taxes whon ho takes it all irom
the hide and tallow of labor.

Democrat Bound to Wedge in On
Bourne-Selling Flht.
In the democratic race for
Unitod States senator, tho contest
seems to bo narrowing down be
tween Lano of Portland and
Pierce of Hot Lake, and both men
are fighting hard for the nomina
tion, for the reason a nomination
will mean more than an empty
honor this year it will mean tho
equivalent of an election.
The Bourne-Selling fight has
reached tho Taft-Roosevelt stage,
where tho backers of tho defeated
will help to knifo the victor, and
this situation, coupled with the
stato-wido condition of revolt,
spells just one thing a demo
cratic U. S. senator.
All the candidates for senator
will bo friends together at the
democratic banquet in this city
Saturday night, and whoever may
be selected by tho people at the
primaries next week, it is certain
that the defeated ones will pull
their coats and work hard for the
election of the nominee.
And I want to tell you, with
such a feeling, there is only one
way out of it, and Selling or
Bourne will see that way next
fall.
Pay your subscrlptio during Ap
ril and ave a half dollar.
