many more requirements not contem

Getting a good foundation was
much more difficult than estimated,
so that cost ran high,
Lack of space to handle materials
and indifferent help made
cost too much also.
Numerous details not originally

On account of the vicious and un

also stating that the report might al

Milwaukie, May 11, 1913
Editor Courier:
I read in last Friday's Courier an
article on what specializing does, this
time it's asparagus, by W. B. Staf
ford. I do not doubt but Mr. Stafford's
figures are correct but he does not
trim and the consumer throws away
from one-third to one-fourth of butts
that cannot be cooked tender; so far
as I'm able to learn .But there are
other growers who do not trim, and
the result is the consumer buys two
or three times and has had enough
of such like.
I have nearly one acre but it will
be 8 or 9 years before it will return
$1,000 and then I'll have to sell the
butts, whereas now I trim the waste
off, which would amount to not less
than one-fourth by weight.
There is another grower and my
self who trim our asparagus in this
vicinity yet I returned with over 100
pounds from Oregon City Saturday,
which I could not sell. Why? Because
the consumers will not stand for such
waste. Now I say to the consumers:
demand the trimmed asparagus. .
I also read how Mr. Dimick read
a letter from a farmer who sold $362

tle matter called to our attention
In the mater of he Equity Society's
use of the court house, we find after
a vote was taken up by the court on
the question: "Shall all organizations
insist upon a more accurate way of
keeping the records of the transact
ions so any citizen of intelligence
can locate the cost' of the bridges
from the records, which we are sat
isfied no man living can do as the

when not in use for court purposes,
the use of the room?" the vote stood
2 to 1 for, Mr. Matoon voting against
because of the manner the question
was put. He said he did not like to
throw it open for everybody.
In the matter of the county's finan
cial condition, we find that on March
81, there was on hand in the general
fund $101,631.58. Road fund in debt,
$46,700.74. By subtracting the road
indebtedness fund from the general
fund on hand, we have on hand at this
date, March 31, 1910, $54,930.79.
That on March 31, 1910, there was
turned over to the treasurer and total
on hand $364,021.12.
March 31, 1913, total general and
road fund on hand and what was turn,
ed into the treasury, $561,961.89.
Amount on hand March 31, 1913,
general fund on hand $52,658.77 road
fund on hand $36,603.84; total on
hand, $89,262.61.
By subtracting total on hand March
31, 1910 from the amount on hand
and turned over to treasurer, we find
that the March 31, 1913, report shows
that there is $197,940.77 more money
to do business with than on the same
date March 31, 1910. But we find that
by subtracting the amount of indeb.
tedness or actual money not expend
ed on March 31, 1910 from the same
statement of 1913, that a there is a
difference of $34,331.82 in favor of the
1913 court.
Now by subtracting the amount in
favor of the condition of the 1913
court from the amount of more money
to do business with we find the 1913
court had the advantage of the 1910
court of $163,608.95, this is the con
dition as near as we are able to de
termine the facts, having figured on
a basis, given from the reports on the
same items after bnluncing the indeb
tedness and placing the two courts on
an equal footing. From this we must
conclude that the 1913 court has no
credit due as to being out of debt. In
other words if thoy had only the same
money to do business with that the
1910 court had, and had expended thu
same amounts as they did, this county
would be in debt $163,608.95. more on
March 31, 1913 than on March 31, 19-10.

After the reading of the report, a
resolution was passed accepting the
same, thanking the committee anu
discharging same.
Another resolution was passed con
demning the Enterprise for its criti
cism of the committee, and commend
ed the Courier for its action in op
ening its columns for the people.
Harvey Gibson, of Barton, told of
action in a road case at that place,
and of the excessive charge, $52, for
the court making a survey which took
less than a day's time.
George Oglesby made a bitter at
tack on the members of the county
court. He said if we had grafters it
was time to throw them down; thut
he worked for and voted for Blair for
commissioner because he thought he
would stand up, and when elected he
laid down and did what the county
court told him. "We want men with
backbone for officials, and when offic
ials will not do their duty, take them
by the nape of the neck and throw
them out. I am with you for the recall.
I will campaign the county and 600
other men will do the same.
E. D. Olds explained how the pup-
pors and affidavits relating to the
purchase of road machinery in the
several counties was dropped, lie said
the Beals .people started it for crimi
nal action, and detectives worked it
up, and that later machinery was
bought from the Beals people for Oak
Grove and nothing further was done,
He reluted how Fred Harris, then
road supervisor, was standing out
against the county court; that George
C. Brownell culled Harris up and said
"For God's sake, Fred, stand in." He
said the papers in the road implement
matters were gotten from Virgil C.

There is a doubt in my mind that
the land law of California was put
forth in good faith. It may have been
prompted by the army and navy con
tractors for a larger hold-up of the
nation. At any rate the soil belongs
to American people and it is our right
to establish proper titles. The only
fault I find with the proposed . law
is its weakness in not confiscating all
private titles to the land.

For the benefit of our juvenile con.
testants who joined in the Wilsonville
Fair Aug. 1912, and all those who ex
pect to join in the coming fair in Sept
mia, i would like to say to vou thru
the courtesy of the editor, (who, by
the way is a loyal supporter of this
good work) that our Juvenile Fair at
Wilsonville, Ore., shipped and had an
exhibition at the state fair, more ex
hibits than any other juvenile fair in
the state. Also the only one to have a
whole car to carry their exhibits. At
this fair we carried off $68.50 in cash
prizes from our 48 entries. We also
carried off five of the seven of Cleck-
amas county's general prizes for its
ten Juvenile county fairs cash value
$48, and on Aug 29, 1912, we paid
to the children, cash in hand $151.25
and 18 orders for goods delivered.
Cash value $44, total cash value $195.
25. Cash value, Oregon City, $48; cash
prizes from Salem $68.50; cash from
prizes at Canby Co. Fair. $8.50.
which makes a grand total of $320.25
besides one ticket each at the state
fair for one day and 15 one day tick
ets at the county fair, which, if di
vided among our 108 exhibitors, would
make nearly $3 each. Not a small sum
