YOUR CHANCE.
Many Eyes Will Watch You March 1.
Make Good.
Next week Saturday, March 1,. is
the date when the Farmers Society of
Equity can Bhow Oregon it means
business, or it can show Oregon it is
a lame sister and is just organized to
follow the Farmers' Alliance and
other like organizations to the marble
orchard and have one of the big mon
uments. There will be hundreds of uneasy
skeptics watch this, state convention
in Portland.
They want to see if this bunch of
farmers really mean something be
fore they take any notice of it; they
want to determine whether it is some
thing to be joked at, or whether it is
just a game where a few organizers
and out siders take a rake-off and
then duck out.
And with the line-up on the outside
quietly watching, with much depend
ing on this first movement for state
co-operation and for general recog
nition, this convention of Equity dele
gates wants to go slow, go careful
and go RIGHT.
Very much depends on this state
organization on what the farmers
do and how they do it. It must be
started right, must be started by men
who can handle it and it must all be
on a plan that the members will get
behind and boost over the last ditch.
There are to be complete state of
ficers elected and on the calibre of
these men will largely depend the
success of the Society for the coming
year. The order is spreading like a
prairie fire now, and men for state
office are needed who will keep the
fire spreading. And then there comes
-up the Portland warehouse propos
ition, and many matters of much im-
nortance for the order.
Let every delegate go to Portland
with the best good for the bociety
placed far above any personal or sec
finnnl ma ttr nnd show the outside
vou are building a stone wall of
strength.
The newspapers will make the
most of any weak spots you show.
Don't show any.
Front Street will watch like a hawk
for the least little opening where they
can drive in a wedge. Don't leave any.
Go down to Portland and play the
farmers' game. Just be DEAD SURE
that it is your game; go slow and safe
on the warehouse propostion and
when you get what you want every
man of you come down together like
Dagos on a hand car.
March 1, is the time, Portland is
the place where you can start some
thing in Oregon.
Start it!
BROWN.
Just to Illustrate.
Here is a little item from Garfield,
Wash., that show how the fanners
get the gaff, and one of hundreds of
reasons why they are turning to un
ion and co-operation for self protect
ion: Garfield, Wash., Feb. 5 Be
cause a car of apples shipped by
the Garfield Fruit Grower's un
ion to the Eichengreen company
at Chicago netted $2.37, or three
eigthts of a cent per box J. E.
Trimble, the salesman for the un
ion, was sent east with full pow
er of attorney to investigate. The
car contained 604 boxes of choice
apples and vas destined to Mil
waukee. If the growers had their own sell
ing agent in Chicago this shark pro
duce company would not have stolen
the whole car of apples.
If the Equity Society had its own
selling agent in Portland apples
would not be selling for five cents
apiece on the fruit stands and rotting
on the trees at Mulino, for want of
market.
It isn't because there are too many
apples but because there are too many
thieves.
Organization will spoil the oppor
tunity for the middleman's plunder. It
will cut him off and divide his rake
off between the grower and the eater.
Oregon City does not require hitch
ing posts. She can stay long enough
tied to the gang she is already fas
tened to.

This County Union needs a hust
ling business man in its employ.
With a little hustling our State Un
ion Sales. Company.
Kelso Washington boasts of a Un
ion of one hundred and one members.
The one is for luck we hope.
The farmers will soon have to turn
the Equity work over to their hired
men while they produce another crop
or go back to the old systm. It is up
to the members.
Clackamas local . doesn't like the
name of Union Sales Company and is
not afraid to say so and she doesn't
like the by-laws that committee
framed as a sort of pattern and may
give us a better name and be able to
tinker up the by-laws. Watch Cacka
mas! The Courier is beginning to receive
the subscriptions and it won't be long
until our Equity paper will " circulate
through Clackamas county and instill
some life into the discouraged farmer,
The Courier has the greatest work
and largest field of any paper in Ore'
eon. The possibilities of the co-oper
ation of the farmers and a paper to
back them like the Courier is untold,
Powerful reforms in buying and sell
ing besides the bettering of all con
ditions effecting the farmer, will be
the result.
The Equity is a great power in the
land and the future of Clackamas Co.,
depends as much on how the power is
used as all other things combined,
Are we going to use this power or
let its force be lost like the power of
our mountain streams? Brother
Farmers, harness this power of conv
biriation and use it to put gold in your
pockets; libraries and music in your
homes and better citizens in your
state.
Brother Equity Farmers, we now
are keeping up thousands, even mil
lions of men on good salaries and
they are working, not for. our inter
ests, but for the system that robs
us. The profits of our trade now are
supporting thousands of people in Or
egon. We must buy and sell as one
man and be willing to allow good pay
for one who works for our interests.
We will employ hundreds of men
some day soon. When shall we begin?
As farmers, what Interest have we
in the quarrel down in Mexico? Why
should we send our sons down to Mex
ico to be slaughtered? Cannot the
profit mills of our own country grind
the life out of our poor people fast
enoueh? If American millionaires
want their silver and gold mines pro
tected let them shoulder a musket
and go down there and do it them
selves or quit whining. I do not know
of anybody down, in Mexico that I
want to kill.
SNAP SHOTS.
We are in favor of dividing Clack
amas county so as to put Oregon City
and her mills with a strip up and
down the river and to take in the S. P.
to themselves and let them tax each
other and graft from each other to
their heart's content.
Our state meeting is going to
boost the Equity several notcnes
ahead and every local should send
its best man down to Portland and
put the State on a solid foundation.
It will also give us a chance to get
acquainted and help to establish our
co-operative society on a larger scale.
We will meet delegates from sister
states and have a bully good time.
Mr. Robert Schuebel represents tne
Eauitv as a commitee of one to can
on each merchant of Oregon City to
ascertain if anything can be done in
a co-operative way. If so well and
good. If not no trouble to us nay
seeds to find out. We propose to go
slow and find out what we are all up
against.
There are to be several canneries in
Clackamas county by fruit season and
the r.qulty will not have any more
produce to give away.
Quite a start nas aireaay oeen
made jt Mt. Pleasant and Clackma.
Clackamas Local my not Ivvay? be
rie-ht but she is always on the job,
and just keep your eye on Cla:kamas.
Krh local will please send the
name of their delegate to the Slate
meeting, to the Courier as soon as
elected, with his post office or phone
number. If you have to can a special
meeting do it right away.
The new locals will get on the in
aiHoa and learn more in one day at
our state meeting than a year's work
by themselves.
Mr. L. L. Pickens thinks that civ
ilization and the militia are one be
cause they are sometimes found to-
We find in urecon ny cnurcnee
and saloons but no body thinks that
civilization requires both.
It is about time honest working
people all over the world were learn
ing the difference between civilization
and veneered savagery.
Your farmer editor pays very lit
tle attention to aristocratic language
called gTar-.ner and has quotation
marks and relative pronouns to throw
at our adverbs and superlative ad
jectives. But if we can hammer out
of the end of our pencil a few truths
that will better the conditions of
working people, no matter who or
where, we will be proud of our work.
Can't you help?

ULLING TOGETHER.
An Able Article by an Equity Man
on Co-Operation,
Farmers in the past have frequent
ly attempted, in various ways, to form
co-operative methods and many have
failed. Yet there isn't any business on
the face of the earth that lends itself
so readily to co-operating where there
is a compact body of men engaged in
buying the same product, producing
and selling the same products to the
same market and their products are
the universal necessities of life.
With common foes; with a common
plant and a common organization
they are still common victims of
hundred diversified interests who
are allowed to treat them as small,
weak units instead of one large.
strong unit and after the lesson of
co-operation has been taught them by
every business interest in the land.
Co-operative methods have proved
a success in other placqp. In the east
ern part of Virginia the producers
found themselves on the verge of
bankruptcy when in 1899 they organ
ized The Eastern Shore of Virginia
Produce Exchange. It was each man
for himself and sometimes they sold
their crops for less than it cost to
raise them.
As individuals they could not reach
the market without giving up their
profit to commission men or rail
roads. When they organized some
were so poor that a membership fee
of only $5 had to have the privilege
of paying only 25 cents down and the
balance in installments.
The first year they shipped 400,-
000 bbls. of produce; ten years later
they were shipping one million, four
hundred thousand bbls.
Another fine example is the South
ern Texai. ""ruck Growers Associat
ion, which was organized in 1905. At
that time farmers were shipping 500
cars of onions each year and barely
making a living, but in 1910 twenty
five hundred cars were shipped val
ued at one million, five-hundred
thousand dollars.
If other localities have made a suc
cess bv co-onerating there is no reas
on why the Farmers Society of
Eauitv cannot mutually combine to
better their condition, but do not let
us deceive ourselves that all that is
necessary is to join this society and
then stand idly by and expect results.
The success will entirely depend on
the individual efforts each member
will put forth towards working to one
common object in view.
But another feature that must not
be lost sight of is to be able to take
care of our surplus, which each local
ity can easily do by co-operating in
hnviniT canning outfit, or dryer to
put the fruit and vegetables in a form
that it can be held for future demand.
This has been proven satisfactory in
localities where it has been tried.
A certain man near Clackamas had
7 acres of cabbage last year and the
best he could do in Portland was $8
r,r ten and then he could only dispose
of a limited quantity each week. He
procurred the necessary machinery
and made it into sour kraut and
will now realize $1,500 even prom on
his cabbage. Other instances can be
quoted.
There is no reason why each local
ity cannot have a canning plant oper
ated co-operatively to can fruit and
vegetables. A few near Mt. fleasani
got a small canning plant last-year
and are pbie to dispose of all their
goods at good prices. Why should it
be necessary to have a large cannery
or evaporator in Portland when it can
ho rfnne rip-ht where they are produc
ed? And be better able to retain their
natural flavor? Each community will
have to work out their own portion of
this problem, but it will all be ior a
common cause.
To begin with let us study the best
method of getting in closer toucn
with the consumer. There is not a
wmntv in the state where such var
iety can be produced as Clackamas.
We have localities where berries can
be produced than others; other local
ities for vegetables. To get the best
results it will be necessary to spec
ialize the production of each locality
so we may have the quantity as well
as the quality to offer.

PI
BRIDGE BUILDER BOB.
Last Saturday Judge Beatie refus
ed the court-house to a committee of
farmers and tried to prevent them
from meeting there. We understand
from good authority that Bob was
once a farmer and regarded as honest
and held the respect of his neighbors
but that was before he went into the
bridge and commission business.
Sheriff Mass informs us that he has
orders from Bob to not let us hay
seeds in the court house any more.
Judge Campbell and Bob ought to
have every fool hay seed arrested and
jailed that didn't have sense enough
to stay away from Oregon City.
We can buy more for our money
and sell our produce for more money
in Canby or Clackamas Station and in
those places the farmer has a place
to tie his team and Canby is prepared
to handle his produce.
Canby would build us a better
court house and let us or any other
body of taxpayers meet in it if we
will vote them the privilege. Farmer
Smith of Damascus would suit us a
whole lot better for United States
Marshall than Job the Bridge Build
er, and the Equinty could furnish the
petition. We don t like to stoop to mix
in the filthy politics of today but we
have- the machinery to protect our
selves in case we are compelled to use
it
The farmers of Clackamas county
are fast finding out that they have
but few friends in our national, state
or county government and it is our
own fault too. We have walked up to
the polls and voted for political graft
ers instead of honest formers until we
ought to be kicked and taxed and put
in jail for not having anything more
to tax.

Equity Writer Doesn't Like
the
Union Sales Co. Scheme.
In support of Clacxamas Local Un
ion F. S. E. resolution against "Un
ion Sales Co., of Portland. t
The writer has heard several dis
cussions over the resolution which ap
peared in the Courier. Several mem
bers of the F. S. E. think the resolut
ion is all right and hits the nail on
the head; others think it is out of
place and the language is too drastic.
The resolution was introduced as a
motion and passed unanimously by
Clackamas Local Union F. S. E. to
draw attention of the members of oth
erLocals to the methods of the Union
Sales Co. In the first place the writer
in reading any and all literature upon
F. S. E. business methods, which he
has been able to secure, not once has
he found an instance where such an
organization was indorsed for a sell
ing agent; but in every instance the
writing is to the effect to keep the
money (which is the power) in the
Society of Equity.
In the case of the Union Sales Co.,
the money goes to an outside company
even though the stockholders are also
members of the Farmers Society of
Equity; therefore the power of the F
S. E. as a business organization goes
smash.
In the second place ''United we
stand, divided we fall." The F. S. E,
united through its local unions, coun
ty unions, and eventually state un
ion, with the controlling money in its
treasury is a strong unit, divided as
it would be with the members in one
organization and the money in an oth-
er j8 a shaky proposition.
Another thing "A child does not
walk till it crawls." The F. S. E. in
Oregon is in the crawling stage, and
should be handled with care. Ihe lit
erature of the Union Sales Co., would
make us believe we can go into a big
buying and selling business, establish
warehouses, and etc., in Portland,
ALWAYS PORTLAND, and pay a
bunch of high salaried directors, pay
secretaries and managers and clerks,
etc., pay dividends and interests, and
have a sinking fund, and all on ten
thousand (10,000) dollars as a start
er. When the $10,000 plays out what
then? And then at the end of five
years the F. S. E. is to have every
thing. Why not have it now ? Brother
Farmers, if we are to have a $10,000
stock affair, by all means have it in
the name of the "Farmers Society of
Equity."
And if anybody can tell a reason
why the warehouse, factories and all
business should not be in the name of
the "Farmers Society of Equity" he
is at liberty to shoot it at me, and I
will listen very attentively.
In conclusion, fellow farmers, know
your footing before you step, because
we are treading on snaky ground as
it is, and a bad slip now might work
many hardships for the Farmers Soc
iety of Equity for the State of Ore
gon. W. S. DAYWALT.
GOOD ROADS WOULD SAVE
$250,000,000 FOR FARMERS
That Muoh Watted In Crop Haulage
In Record Year.
J. L. rennyhnker, Jr.. executive sec
retary of the American road congress,
innkes the nssertlon thnt $2S0.O0O,000
would be saved In the cost of hauling
this year's record breaking crops If 20
per cent of our public highways were
Improved, thus reducing the cost of
horse hnulnge and permitting on exten
sive use of motor trucks.
At the present time only about 8
per cent of American highways can be
classed as Improved. The main otflect
of the American road congress Is to so
Influence public opinion that the num
ber of miles of Improved highways will
be rapidly Increased In the next few
years. -Interesting figures and statis
tics have been compiled to proved the
economic advantages of improved high
ways.' "The government's prediction that
the crop now being harvested will ex
ceed any previous year's yield," said
Mr. Pennybaker, "should serve to call
attention to the great losses that are
being sustained by farmers and con
sumers in the hauling of crops. It Is
estimated that the Improvement of the
main roads of this country, approxi
mately 20 per cent, would result In an
annual saving "of at least $250,000,000
In the cost of hauling ulone, which
would be sufficient to Improve 50,000
miles of road at a further cost of $5,
000 per mile. In five years this would
Improve 250,000 miles, which would
be sufficient to bring the total mllenge
of Improved roads up to 20 per cent''

THE MARKET REPORTS
Oregon City Prices for theVarlous
Produots or the Farm.
The hop market is practically at a
stand still. In Oregon and in Californ-
na there are some holdings of 1912
hops, but the buyers are not willing
to pay the prices that were quoted
in January, and those holding hops
are not willing to sell their hops any
lower than the prices demanded by
them, and will hold for better prices
than those quoted by the dealers.
Offers of 14 and 15 cents have been
made for-the coming crops in a few
sections, but so far as there is no one
taking up the contracts. The grow
ers who have held onto their hopes
will not sell until spring, when there
is some prospect of the prices advanc
ing.
Eggs are down to 30 cents retail,
and no doubt as Easter draws near
the price will gradually drop to a
much lower price than the present
one.
The price of butter remains about
the same and the demand is good.
Although we have experienced
some cold weather the gardeners near
the city are able to bring their daily
supply of fresh vegetables to the loc-
1 markets. They includo: onions,
winter radishes, parsnips , turnips,
cabbage, cauliflower, and various
other varieties..

The Forty Year Test.
An article must have exceptional
merit to survive for a period of forty
years. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was first offered to the public in
1872. From a small beginning it has
grown in favor and popularity until

a epriod of more than forty years. It
not only gives relief it cures. Dor
