OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1915. News of the County and Suburbs Local and County Items of Interest to Our Headers CHERRYVILLE Happy New Year to all the readers of The Courier and all good people everywhere! Here is hoping that with the New Year we may have clear skies above and that the war-clouds will roll away. Cherryville challenges the state to produce a hamlet of its size that has a Literary Society and Debating Club "that are better attended or have more ability and literary excellence. Live issues are discussed and some old stand patters are getting the moss scraped off from their backs in big patches. Charley Paschall, a miner up on Sheeney Creek, east of Brightwood, discovered a ledge of coal lately that when tested, burned freely and was pronounced good anthracite coal. Lee Stone, who has been visiting with his uncles, Frank and "Pete," the past two months, returned to his home in eastern Washington last week. Christmas exercises were held at the school house on Christmas Eve un der the charge of the teacher, Miss Reitsma, who will spend the holiday season with her parents in Portland. Richard Achilles Ballinger, of ever-blessed memory ( ? ) and one time Secretary of the Interior under Taft, is real peeved, and in a speech lately given at Portland, denounced the common people in round-set terms; said they could not manage their own business successfully, and ought not to have anything to do in managing the public business. Too bad! If these common, coarse, unen lightened farmers and other "boobs" had not raised such an outcry he might not have been pried loose from his job at Washington until he and the Guggenheims had completed their steal of the mountains of coal in Alaska, now owned by all the people, and to which the government is now building a government railroad. If Richard Achilles and others of like kidney had stones tied around their necks and were shipped overboard in mid-ocean it would be a great relief to the cause of freedom and prosperity and growth to the large mass of struggling humanity. They are a constant menace to the spirit and genius of our free institutions. Ed Eaden, from Logan, was up in these parts a short time ago and sang a couple of popular songs at the Ly ceum. A man supposed to be a man dug a grave for six barrels of whiskey over near Vancouver lately, and by the same token the whiskey will dig a grave for him. This is a remark ' able instance of preparedness against the dry time that will set in the com ing year. If you swear off, make it good and lasting as this falling off or drop ping off the water wagon . into the mud Is pretty tough. ; The "love feast" of the Republicans in the "seats of the mighty" in New York City lately drew a large crowd of all standpatters and reactionaries like "Boss" Barnes, "Boob" Penrose, "Dirty Ditch Drinker" Weeks, old Uncle Joe Cannon and fellows of that stripe, all yelling for special privi leges for the favored few and not a . cent for the poor, coarse, common people who were made exclusively to work for these elegant millionaires at pitiful wages. There were no Pro gressive Republicans present of any prominence. Borah cannot be culled a Progressive as he did not vote for Teddy. Reed Smoot, the high priest of Polygamy and Protection, from Utah, was there and so was Root, engineer of the steam roller at the Taft convention in 1912. Put up all the money you want to, but you can never win with that kind of a bunch. Charley Taft tried that in 1912 with "oodles of money" for his big brother, and only got the ignorant French "Ca nucks" of Vermont and the Jack Mor mons of Utah to "fall" for it, and got a scant 8 votes in the Electoral College. Your only chance is to put up a Btraw man who you can control, and who will bo ostensibly a quasi-1 progressive. The Republicans put one over in this state by electing a man for Governor whom the big bosses could easily handle, but who wasn't smart enough to keep from putting his foot into it on this land giant business nnd consequently "spilled the beans." When the state goes dry we hope for a clear sky, and better times bye and bye. In the New Year just uhead every one is expecting better times and a let up in all wars especially the big war now raging, which has practicolly ruined the big nations of Europe. One good thing will grow out of it and that is that a lot of worthless and bloody-minded kings, czars, emperors and kuisers will be out of jobs. This alone Will be worth all the frightful loss of lives. G. Smith, who lives near Dover, says he receives a newspaper from Toronto, Can., where he formerly liv ed, which says Billy Sundoy made a flying trip to that city while he was conducting meetings at Syracuse, N. Y., and cleaned up $8,000 for sling ing a little slung twice to big crowds. At Syracuse he got $23,112, and other adjacent towns big sums, making, for little over a month, nearly $,10,000. He now goes to Trenton, N. J. for Janu ary, and Baltimore in February, where he has rented the finest resi dence in the city. He now wears a $2000 seal skin overeat and a $5000 "sunburst" in his shirt-front. Any thing like the Man of Galilee who walked barefooted in the dust? The orthodox Christian Church will some day be mighty sorry it sanctioned this mountebank. Its true they get a lit tle temporary prosperity out of his furious and funny antics, and profes sional and business men fall for it because they think it will help them in their business and in their careers, but sooner or later there will be a re action. H. B. Brooke has purchased 8 lots in Cherryville from J. T. Freil and will come and later erect a bungalow for a summer residence. England, under the system of in dividualism or the rich preying upon the poor and grinding them down to starvation wages or no wages at all had at the beginning of the war 12,000,000 of her people on the edge of starvation. This is the same sys tem that our wise ( ? ) statesmen aT vocate here. Blessed are the peace makers said one aforetime. How about Henry Ford, who our hostile preachers and paid writers and greedy capitalists are now deriding?

The Hazelia Literary and Debat ing society met Saturday evening with a short debate on the question, "Which Causes More Misery, Booze or War." A short programme was given, but refreshments were out of the ques tion as Huzelia news hadn't announc ed that refreshments would be serv ed until after the society met.

Better for Less on The VALUE Economical shoppers will do well to buy here. While good store keeping demands clean stocks at all .times, this is particularly true at the close of the business year. So true, in fact, that sharp losses are freely taken to establish the desired condition before inventory. And the public, as well as ourselves, gains immeasurably by the com pelled reductions. Thrifty shoppers will find it to their advantage to shop while these prices prevail. All Year 1 Mrs. Pomperin and numerous others entertained relatives and their friends over the holiday season.
