OREGON EQUITY NEWS PWkdith
Oregon City has a board of trade.
We can't help boosting for Bro.
Stark.
Kanas railroads want 80,000 people
to come to Kansas over their roads.
They might be able to use some
of Oregoin's candidates for governor.
c
Oregon has harvested her straw
. berry crop. The consumer bought
the shflvincs thev were wrapped in,
and the farmer must pay for the box
bottoms.
Judge Beatie employed the law to
get justice and failed. His neighbor
tried a shot guri and succeeded.
The farmer gets 40 tents of the
consumers dollar and a good job Is
waiting for the man who can take
charge of our trade and do better
than we are doing.
There are as smart men in Oregon
as any state can boast about. Some
one inform the organized farmer of a
better system of marketing than the
Equity has planned.
We have a good salary waiting fot
the man who can do our buying and
selling and do it profitably to the producer.
We farmers sell what we produce
and buv what we can with the pro
ceeds. We want a manager who can
make tthe largest business in Oregon
by organizing this business. It ap-
nears eajy-on the surface. So do we
farmers.
We farmers have many fields for
producing crops but have but three
fields to obtain pay for them, viz; the
the field of commeice, the held oi pol
itics and the field of bloody conflict.
As you look back over the history of
the world, which field would you say
had been the most used and the most
successful.
When everybody is talking war and
rumors of war, the base ball Jans can
now study the navies and armies of
this shristian civilization of ours. One
of the new uses of firearms has just
been discovered in old Clackamas
county. Robert Schubel, road super
visor, out in Milk Creek, has found
that a gun is the only tool to be de -pended
upon -to keep the main roads
free from impassable obstructions. It
seems Irom rumors over the united
barb wire that this Calamity Valley
and bouthdown railroad can put it all
over Judge Beatie in court decisions,
but when it runs up against the direct
action of a farmer and a shot gun they
have to put up the cash for right-of-way
privileges and also remove their
obstructions from the county roads.
We have heard of what some call
"citizen soldiery."
We are not publishing all the Eq
uity news because a certein whole
sale house recalled a good proposition
to our society because a certain mem
ber would not desist from disseminat
ing too much Equity news. The re
tail grocers association are too much
interested in Equity just now. Locals
can get the rest of the news from the
delegates to recent meetings of the
order.
Some newspapers persist in pub
lishing cartoons of farmers working
people and poor people in general, and
we would much rather see them pub
lish the pictures of their hardwork
ing? proprietors or a group of our
leading chambers of commerce boards
of trade members of the stock ex
change and others who surrender
, their industry for a place between the
producer and the consumer.
Army worn Hessian fly and chinch
bugs are now harvesting the largest
wheat crops ever produced by the
boards of trade. The railroads fail
ed to collect tha. two cents per mile
for transporting these harvest hands
but these harvest hands join no un
ions, are never unemployed and hung
ry. These little narvest naneis ue
fv the scientific colleges, John D's ar
my, the law, the courts, the adminis
tration and the tarrii.. rncse minuie
exploiters are very. un-American, but
like their indigenous contemporries,
grow fat on the farmers crop and re
main idle until the beguiled agricul
turist produces another. Notwith
standing all this, a mutual friend
ship should exist between the farmer
and these creatures ot natures pro
duction on account of their common
boards of trade, railroad monopolies,
elevator combines, millers' trusts and
over-production.
We are told the reason we farmers
are poor is because we buy too many
automobiles. Now the icrd people
say that we do not buy enough, so
.they are to lay on six tnousanu em
ployes. This company just declared
a dividend of one hundred per cent.
Did you know that the bankers own
all the debts and all the money too.
, and they can't pay 25 cents on the dol
' lar tomorrow if it wa,' forced on thorn.
They collect interest on the money
not in existance.
The Courier readers were regaled
by a treatise scientific on orchard cul
ture by E. C. Dye. We would advise
our horticulturists to file this article
away in their archieves of their de
pleted exchequer for future referen
when the price of fruit becomes half
as scientific as the before mentioned
article by a member of the Main s.t,
farmers' association.
REMINISCENSES OF CIVIL WAR
Delivered at Patriotic Exercises of
Oregon City Schools
(By Frank Moore, Meade Post)
Bro. John F. Stark, of Maple Lane
is a Candida'. o for the ligisLn t
has had come experience in that lino
and there is not a man in Clackamas
:ounty better qualified to represei
the farmer or working people in gen
eral. He is a poor man but there is
not gold enough in Oregon to buy
vote. The prohibitionists and inde
pendents could do no better than en
dorse Bro. Stark. He knows what
laws we need. Ho is not a patron of
me saioon.
Fifty years after the battle of Bun
ker Hill there assembled at the laying
of the corner stone of the Bunker Hill
monument, more than two hundred
men who had participated in one of
the first encounters ot the Kevolu
tionary War. Gen. Winfield Scott and
Gen. John E. Wool were officers in the
American army during the war of
1812 and were still in the military
service of "their country when the
Civil war broke out, nearly fifty
years later, Gen. Scott being commander-in-chief
of the army and Gen.
Wool in command at Fortress Mon
roe, Va.
It is now more than forty-nine
years since the last gun was fired,
and there are still living about u
quarter of a million men who partici
pated in the greatest civil conflict
known to history,
When the war broke out President
Lincoln called for the enlistment oi
75,000 volunteers, thinking that would
be a sufficient number to subdue the
rebellious South. In the first call for
troops it was specifically stated that
volunteers must be between "18 and
45 years of age, but many patriotic
boys misrepresented their age and
served throughout the war witn glory
and honor to themselves and credit to
their country. As the war progressed
however, the government was not so
particular about the ages of its fight
ers and it too often happened that
boys of 13 were enrolled as drum
mers, and nartieinated in many a
hard fought battle. In fact moat'uny
one who could carry a musket was
willingly taken into the service before
the long struggle was over. In the
South it was even more difficult for
tho rebolg to obtain recruits to fill
up their ranks than it was on this
side of the line. When Cen. Grant
was on the march to Richmond in the
summer of 1864, in a dispatch to the
War department, he said "The South
had robbed the cradle and the grave
to obtain men for their army." South
ed that whole companies, and even
regiments were nearly annihilated in
some desperate battle, and the com
munity from which they enlisted was
plunged into the deepest mourning.
There was hardly a village or hamlet
in the entire country where some of
the inhabitants did not suffer the loss
of relatives or friends. There are
many instances on record where all
the male members of large families
nave enlisted and not a single one re
turned to their homes alive. Sick
ana wounded soldiers and weeping
mothers and widows, everywhere
visible, was heart-rending evidence
that a terrible war was in progress.
Besides equipping and maintaing
a large army at the front there were
many serious 'questions in the rear
requiring attention of authorities.
Opposition to the government, prose
cution of the war by enemies of blood
shed in New York City, inauguration
of schemes looking to the secession
of the western states from the East
and forming them into a separate re
public, rebel emissaries endeavoring
to spread disease and pestilence and
burn northern cities, bold attempts
to release rebel prisoners confined in
northern, prisons, appaling Indian
outbreaks in the northwest, causing
terrible loss of life and immense de
struction of property, the invasion
of Mexico by France, with evident
hostile intent toward the United
States, all the cabinets of Europe,
save Russia, in open sympathy with
the south, and daily rumors of for
eign intervention in behalf of the con
federacy, were some of the perplex
ing problems confronted by the gov
ernment during the progress of the
rebellion.
Scores of battles had been foue-ht
and scores of victories won, but up to
the fall of 1864 our Victories had not
been decisive enough to disarm the
rebellious foe. The stoutest hearts
were sometimes doubtful about the
ultimate success of our cause. The
country was becoming impatient for
the long struggle to cease.
War, war, war, was uppermost in
every ones minds. Many were the.
prayers and supplications that were
offered up to the Supreme Controller
of the destinies of nations, beseeching
Him to so guide our armies that the
most unrighteous rebellion might be
brought to a speedy and successful
ROADS, AND TIMBER CRUISING
Mr. Kelnhofcr Points out the Weak
Spots of Both Big Expenditures
Editor Courier;
Now that the road bond issue scare
is out of the way and the candiijates
for our next county court are known,
it is time that we direct our attention
to the positions taken by these can
didates on the good roads problem.
The sentiment of the people has
been voiced sufficiently before the
primaries, to plainly see that the
good roads problem will be the main
issue in our coming campaign, and
the candidates which will solve the
problem to the satisfaction of the
majority of the farmers, will be suc
cessful at the coming election.
There is no other matter which so
vitally and directly affects the farmer
as good roads and marketing.
feople complain ot high taxes and
say they are unable to pay them. But
why are they unable to pay their tax
es? It is because of the high cost of
hauling their produce to market, and
the absence oi a market system alter
he does get it there. If he had good
roads and a market system he would
soon quit complaining ot high taxes,
because he could soon afford to pay
double the taxes that he pays now.
To illustrate, we had 200 sacks of po
tatoes stored in our cellar this year
and at one time were offered $1.10
per hundred for them, but the roads
over which we had to travel were ab
solutely impassable at that time and
we had to wait till they dried up.
Then, when the road was such that
we could haul, we were unable to dis
pose of them at any price. This bad
road cost us over $200.00 in this one
season alone, or enough to pay taxes
for 3 or 4 years. There are hundreds
of others in the same boat. So give
us good roads, and we will soon be
able to pay our taxes. The problem
remains, how are we going to get
them. The people have plainly said
that we don't want them the bonding
way. There are others who have ex
pressed their ideas of how to get
them and I thinks it is well for our
candidates to enter into a careful
study of all the ideas exDresseH and
form some conclusion to base their
position upon.
taking it all round the system that
that not only his part, but also the
county's share is spent economically'
Will he not report any extravagance
or inefficiency of the one who has
charge of improving that particular
road ?
In what way can the court feel
more satisfied that the -improvement
of a certain road is really needed than
where farmers along that road are
willing to dig down into their jeans
to raise half of the amount by special
taxes or donations? In all the im
provements that I have mentioned 1
mean permanent roads. Let us build
permanent roads as far as the money
goes. If we can t build enough in
one year let us build all we can, and
let the other for next year. Let. them
be mud holes until we can cover them
with permanent roads. There may
be a big demand from the county for
duplications of sums raised by the
farmers, but are we not then getting
value received in good roads? Never
mind high taxes, if they are spent on
good roads, right.
Yours truly
LOUIE KELNHOFER.

We farmers have listened for years
to the remedies proposed by our so
called scientific economists and not
one has ever promulgated a scheme
that would prevent the farmer from
being exploited by a few men who are
very rich by taking any active part
in their own business for many years,
if you excerpt their own testimony
Our millionaire papers picture tho
farmer with one suspender, overalls
in his boots, chii. whiskers, hoe in one
hand and cob pipe in the othnr. Mow
this is the representativu of tho great
est benevolent institution in the
world. Ho with his tax money
' hatches the Bamon for our millionaire
canneries. He furnishes tho wardens

maintains the schools for the lawyer
and doctor, lie turns over his agn

and lifter they learn to shove a bottle
of alcohol up and down, hill he pays
them to put his road tax in their pock
ct. He maintains u militia to shoot
tho factory workers so that he can
pay the widows' pensions and eats
spoiled tomatoes and bicarbonate of
soda sold by tho factory. He mam
tains tho schools und an army and mi
vy to protect Wall Street, and has to
protect his own home und chicken
house with an old fashioned shot gun.

food at home? A farmer must.be a
student of economies for years to hav
a working knowledge of all these
whys' and many farmers and business
men don't bcleive the truth whjn they

It would do no good to increase

The BLIZZARD Silo Filler Is The Thin;
THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT THE VALUE OF SILAGE FOR FEED AND THE BLIZZARD ENSILAGE CUTTER IS A GOOD IN
VESTMENT FOR THE FARMERS OF THE NORTHWEST FOR STILL ANOTHER REASON. ' IT ENABLES THEM TO PUT AWAY THE
CROP WHEN IT SHOULD BE PUT AWAY, REGARDLESS OF WEATHER CONDITION. MANY CROPS COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED
IN THE PAST FEW YEARS IF FARMS WHERE THE LOSS OCCURED HAD BEEN EQUIPPED WITH A SILO & BLIZZARD SILO FILLER
LIQUOR LARGELY TO BLAME
I The fruit crop of Clackamas
county is nut so largo this year, but
what one inspector on a small salary
can count the few bugs that have
starved to death hunting a job of
drumming up business for sellers of
spray dope and mistyfying machines.
Ihe poor of Portland will not weep
over the fruit that will go to waste
here this season.
Prof. Woodrow Wilson, the Fath
er-in-lnw of his country and the mon
ey trust, says "all liberty comes from
below. .Not one instance where lib
erty has been handed down "from
above."
So often have we heard it said that
farmers must work out their own sal
vation. The people who are waxing
fat from the farmers labor now will
stand pat and say times are good,
Those" who manufacture guns and
amunition are preparing for a good
trade.
The C. II. ai.d D. railroad is an
other one of those bankrupt roads
like the New Haven, and it seems that
its so called securities were palmed
. off on the B. and O. road and swin
dled it out of fifty million and J. P.
Morgan and other .bankers pocketed
tho loot. If farmers werewell or
ganized and drilled their big wheat
crop would net have to pay all these
steals of millions, but there is no
others but farmers to fall back on.
They are the mud fills of it all.
Its Results are Forcing Women into
Politics and Business Lives ,
There is a class of neonle. both
men and women, who feel apposed to
woman Bufl'raire. and some look with
disfavor on the business woman or
tho woman politician, feeling that
women are advancing in a forbidden
field. Now when looking for a rea
son why women are forging ahead in
the business world, did it ever occur
to you that liquor is a degenerating
agency .' And if prohibition does not
intervene the tune is not far distant
when the women of the United States
will be among tho leaders in our
public ollices, as our business and best
class ot women are non-drinking, ear
nest workers and are bound to conic
to tho front as business factors.
And those men who depend on
stimulants to keep up their abilities
had better look to their laurels, for
women will be in the lend on the
score of competency.
I don't ask any. one to take my
word for this, just look the field over
and decide for yourself.
All corporations, ull business men
are preferring workers who do not
drink. Our government is excluding
drink from the nuvy, etc., to anyone
of ordinary judgment it is plain what
this indicates.
There is no denying that women,
like the clinging vine, would prefer
to clinir and look un to her slnv.lv
oak.
So, let's clean out the depraving in
fluence and have a larger majority of
clean, sturdy men to look up to, and
many women who are working Un
shops can stay at home where they
would have loved to been, and the
bright business women nuiv then fiml

Gentlemen- We have used your Bliz
zard ensilage cutter the past season and
find them a very satisfactory machine
in every way. We put up over 600 tons
of com and had no trouble cutting from
50 to 55 tons per day and elevating it
to a height of 32 feet, using an L-15 ma
chine. We consider them the best ma
chine made for the purpose. We also
used it to cut alfalfa and clover hay
fed to sheep and cattle at our yards this
Winter, and it handled the work in good
shape.

WHY SILAGE PAYS ;i
If you want to know how much the

coupon for this book. State the size of
your silo, and we will quote you. It

Portland, Oregon
Spokane - Boise
Don't make
the mistake of
buying a silo
filler of ques
tionable merit
They cost nearly as much in the beginning and far
more in the long run, or short run, either, for that
matter. The Blizzard is a practical machine. It com
bines knives, fan and fly wheel instead of. using these
as separate units, thereby saving power
and making a more compact cutter. It
elevates without fail into the tallest silo.
It cuts the material with a sheer cut,
does not crush it. The Blizzard is re
sponsive to control and safe to operate.
The Blizzard is widely imitated', but
nothing can shake its popularity with
those who have used them.

ern chivalry would not permit colored
men to march by their side, but they
did not consider it a disgrace to use
them in the construction of fortifica
tions, and digging trenches, thereby
giving them a more effectual force in
the field.
Before the close of the war 2,759,
000 men served in the Union army,
and of these there were 95,000 killed
in battle and 182,000 died of disease
contracted in the servifce, a death
loss if about ten per cent of the total
enlistment. About one seventh of the
entire population of tho North served
in some capacity in the Union army
during the Rebellion. If you should
take a regiment of 1,000 men out of
Oregon City, or 35,000 out of the city
of Portland, it would leave those cit
ies in about the samo condition that
most of the northern cities were left
during tho war. Women and children
and old men were nearly all that re
mained at home, und they not only
had to support themselves but they
had to contribute largely to the sup
port of the vast armies in the field,
During the war the ladies did not
have time for pink teas or bridge
whist. All their spare time was oc
cupied in making bandages for the
wounded or collecting sanitary sup
plies lor the sick in southern hos
pitals. Right nobly did they respond
to the call of their country and they
would undoubtedly do the same work
again it their country required their
services.

grand army that was heroically
struggling to put down tho slave
holders rebellion. Close watch was
kept on the movement of our armies,
and when some great battle was in
progress there was the most intense
excitement. It was with fear and ap
prehension that newspapers contain-
ng details of great battles were ex
amined lest they should find the name
of some loved one at the front who
had fallen a victim of the fire of a
merciless foe. It sometimes happen-
conclusion.
But universal gloom was not al
ways to prevail. The darkest clouds
were beginning to show a silver lin
ing. A just and righteous cause was
about to triumph. The rebel govern
ment at Richmond was rapidly totter
ing, their finances were exhausted,
and deserters from their ranks were
daily surrendering to the Union for
ces. The signal victory of Thomas
at Nashville; Sherman's grand march
march from Atlanta to the sea; the
evacuation of Richmond; the surren
der of Lee and Johnston, followed in
quick succession, and the terrible con
spiracy was over, the supremacy of
national authority was re-established,
und our glorious and victorious army
returned to their peaceful homes.
l&xty-eight years ago the united
States was engaged in a war with
Mexico. There was much division ot
sentiment regarding the justness of
our cause. A number of northern
congressmen would not vote for sup
plies for carrying on the war, believ
ing that our success meant the ac
quisition of additional sluve territory.
Unfortunately their suppositions pro
ved to be correct, as the main cause
of the civil war was ihe revolt of the
north against the insolent demand of
the southern people that they had a
right to extend slavery into all the
territories .of the southwest, regard
less of whether the people of those
territories desired it or not. What
ever may be the cause of the present
difficulties with Mexico it is the duty
of all loyal citizens to earnestly sup
port the government in its efforts
to compel the Mexican people to pro
tect our citizens and respect our flag.
A number of years ago an American
naval officer proposed this senti
niejjt: "My country may she ever
bo right, but riirht or wronir. mv
country!" That should be the univer
sal sentiment of the people today.

adopted by our cities in the improve
ments of their streets. The property
owners of those streets are required
to stand the greatest share of thee ost
of the improvement. But is that not
just? Does it not most directly in
crease the value of his property? If
the county builds a permanent road
to some farmers home, can he not
afford to pay the biggest expenses?
Where is there a farmer who will not
donate liberally to a road that leads
up to his own home if he is assured
that the county will do- its share and
tne money expended economically .'
We had a system of raising special
taxes in each district, that wanted
them, and the county to duplicate
the amount raised, and many good
roads were thus improved, but our
wise former court had to- abolish
these proceedings to retain money to
invest in some such fool proposition
as was this timber cruising farce. We
all had special assessments on timber,
but did it reduce the mills any?
Right here permit me to say a few
words on this subject. All over the
county the same thing is duplicated
that happened to a 40 acre tract ad
joining ours, and on which the timber
cruisers found 350,000 ft. of timber,
I went over the entire 40 acres tha
other day and found exactly 7 trees
thereon averaging about 32 inches at
tne butt. It every tree goes 5000
ft. it would be 35000 instead of 350,
000. But suppose it is assessed at
35,000 only. What justice is there in
assessing it at all. considering its lo
cation as it is located that the only

wish to mention that in what way
can the county court feel that the
money it contributes towards the im
provement of a road upon which half
of it had been raised by the farmers
living on that road, being spent more

viding a proper system is pursued?
