is religiously harmonious, have no
more right to see a Joke in the demo
cratic situation before the primaries
than has The Enterprise to butt in
where its "Butts" are not half so
effective as the ignorance of the "but
ter" is pitiful.
We do not attempt to deny that
Vietor surprised the county when he
filed as a democratic candidate. His
action was unlooked for by the domo
crutic voters, but if The Enterprise,
which sees in that action tho defent
of the party in the shrievalty con
test this month, will take the trouble,
which is to it a great pleasure, to
poster further in affairs that do not
concern it, it will discover that the
candidate will have strong opposition
at the primaries. The Enterprise,
with its love of self and its assumed
power of dictation in matters demo
cratic will not deny the democratic
voters the right to vote us they please
and if the friends of E. T. Mass choose
to recognize the enviuble recovd he
made while serving in the sheriff's
office they will write his name in in
sufficient numbers to assure his elec
tion, in spite of the fact that Vietor
is candidate, and in spite of the fact
that The Enterprise mourns ever the
total destruction of the party slate,
and the internal fear that it says has
resulted from the filing of Vietor.
The democratic voters are not
looking forward to defeat and to avoid
it will rally to the support of E. T.
Mass. We again concede, lest the
comprehensive intelligence of the wob
bly mouthpiece of republicanism fail
to grasp the statement at once, that
Vietor will not be powerful at the
general election should he be nominat
ed at the primaries. Unless the demo
cratic voters, who are accused by our
contemporary of harboring internal
fear and of having a badly shattered
slate, offset it by writing in Mass'
name, Victor's nomination will prac
tically insure the election of the re
publican nominee, but we do not re
tract the statement that democrats
throughout the county will rally to
the support of E. T. Mass in the hope
of putting into the field a candidate
who will be a contender, and a worthy
one, against any nominee the repub
licans choose to name at the pri
maries. At the suggestion of the flaw-picking
Enterprise, The Courier interview
ed such well-known democrats as
were listed in the attack mado by the

the man whose name is prominently
mentioned as a successful candidate
against Vietor, said:
"I am not worrying about the mat
ter in any way. I am willing to ac
cept the nomination if my name is
written in by the voters, and I am
confident that Vietor will not be nom
inated at the democratic primaries.
There are enough democratic voters
in the county who appreciate the situ
ation that is presented by Vietor's
last-hour entrance into the race, to
make his nomination an impossibility.
The Enterprise absolutely did not in
terview me regarding my own or Vie
tor's candidacy and had no call to list
my name among those who had ex
pressed themselves in tho matter."
J. E. Jack, present county assessor,
said:
"I was not interviewed by The En
terprise, and that paper had no right
to list my name in its editorial as
among those who would "eat their
hats" if they could force Victor's
name off the primary ballot. The
situation is not causing me any worry
and I absolutely deny that I see in
the situation anything inimical to
party interests, or anything that
would make me fear that Vietor
would be nominated. I do not believe
that Victor can defeat E. T. Mass at
the primaries and the majority of
the democratic voters understand the
situation."
"For further information The
Courier can interview Joseph E.
Hedges, Gilbert L. Hedges, Ernest T.
Mass, J. E, Jack and a few other
leaders of high standing," says the
Enterprise.
Well, dear old-maidish paper,
there is the "opinion" you must have
received in your alleged interview
with Mr. Mass and Mr. Jack.
In its clever little attempt to stir
up some scandalous sort of political
strife following tho methods pursued
in primeval journalism. The Enter
prise, with its corps of trained "inter
viewers" and opinion gatherers ,also
hud an "interview" with Joseph E.
Hedges.
Mr. Hedges claims no somniloquous
tendency nor ability, and is unable to
account for his alleged statement.
"In fact," says Mr. Hedges, in a
regular, daylight interview with The
Courier, "I had no such interview
with an Enterprise representative."
Evidently the strenuous imagina
tion of the "mourning" Enterprise
has suffered severely from its power
ful elasticity. Or does it gather its
"interviews" with an uncontrolled
pencil? Surely some fine instrument
of modern science has been employed
to get from these gentlemen the "in
terviews" of which they have no
knowledge.
Incidentally, and in the light of the
facts here presented, The Courier re
luctantly passes the palm as a
"guardian of exaggeration," to the
esteemed Enterprise, whose "strong"
and "scathing" editorials are a source
of rare humor.
Yea, verily! "Let the republicans
rejoice," as the party's windmill says,
for the remarkable "interviews" The
Enterprise had with some of the dem
ocratic leaders, who talked in their
sleep.
We are sorry, Mr. Mass, Mr. Jack
and Mr. Hedges, that we must accuse
you of these terrible things, but in
the light of your "interviews" with
our republican friend we must say
that talking in' your sleep is nearly
as bad as the habit of The Enterprise
in "talking through its hat."
As the grind-organ of imagination
and exaggeration; as the mouthpiece
of twisted fact and fancy, we pass all
honors to the "mourning" Enterprise,
and respectfully suggest that its "in
terviewers" retract their steps and
get a new scent before they take up
a trail as uncreditable as that which
was put into type in its' Sunday morn
ing edition.
NAB WIRE THIEVES
Suitcases Full of Wire Taken by
Police of Portland
The wholesale theft of copper bond
wires from electric railway tracks is
the charge made against C .Olinsky
and F. Nuremberg, arrested Wednes
day morning by Special Agents Lillis,
Wagner and Smith, of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company.
The men were taken in custody as
they stepped from an Oregon City car
at Second and Alder street in Port
land. At 5 o'clock in the morning the two
alleged thieves were seen to board the
car at Milwaukie. They carried suit
cases that sagged heavily. When the
suitcases were opened after the arrest
each was found to be laden with cop
per. Nuremberg confessed to the special
agents, it is said. During the night
he and Olisky labored incessantly, he
stated, ceasing only with morning.
For a distance of five miles, from Sell
wood to a point south of Oak Grove,
they had selected and cut away the
longer bond wire, the prisoner relat
ed. The tracks of the Willamette Val
ley Southern were similarly despoiled
the night before, Nuremberg told the
officers.
Several nights ago the tracks of
the Southern Pacific electric line, on
the West Side, were also visited by
bond-wire thieves. It is thought that
probable that the two prisoners are re
sponsible for that theft as well. "
Olisky served an eight months'
term for the stealing of .copper wire
two years agov He is now charged
with lai'ceny and also with carrying
concealed weapons, as a heavy-calibre
revolver was found upon him when
arrested.
Sheriff Wilson, of Clackamas coun
ty, has devoted much time to the ap
prehension of the wire thieves and
yesterday went with Nuremberg
when he revealed the hiding place of
much of the stolen property. A sack
of wire was uncovered in a manhole
on the Overlook sewer in Portland, a
short distance from the home of
"Patty" Maher, special P. R. L. & P.
company agent.
Saturday Shopping
Hints for Home
Shoppers
When Oregon City people go away
from home to do their shopping they
are losing money. There is concrete
evidence in support of that broad
statement on te pages of The Cour
ier today. Xook over the offerings of
the merchants of Oregon City before
you even give a thought to going out
of the city for anything, and we will
wager that you will stay right here
to do your buying. That is, of course,
if you appreciate genuine bargains
and dependable merchandise.
Among the advertisers this week
George W. Buck & Co., have an an
nouncement that will be interesting.
Housewives and husbands may ac
quire a fine library table free of cost.
It will pay you to read the Buck ad
vertisement. In the annual clean-up campaign
the walls of your home should not be
overlooked. Turn to Frank Busch's
advertisement wall paper at 4 cents
a roll you'll need new paper at that
price.
Huntley Bros, have a great stock
of Sherwin-Williams paint. There is
another tip for tho clean-up season.
Huntley Bros., will be pleased to show
you attractive color cards that the
selection of the proper tints for your
house may be more easily decided.
Bannon & Co., have an item that
will interest the Indies. The cost of
living would be less burdensome if
the ladies watched such sales as this,
where they can .secure fine shirtwaists
for $1.
L, Adams has received a large lot
of sample shoes. They are good,
standard footwear, but the price is
so very far below normal that they
will sell rapidly. This is the time
to patronize such sales.
Jones Drug Co., offers "washable"
paint. Notice how the ordinary paint
cracks and fades after it has been
washed a few times, then you will
have a greater appreciation of the
merits of washable paint.
Larsen & Co., buy farm produce,
wool; hides and poultry for cash. If
you choose you may in turn buy gro
ceries and farm supplies from Larsen
& Co., at greatly reduced prices. That
is one interesting feature of the large
store.

CROPS MAKING PROGRESS
Weather Is Favorable for Fall and
Spring Wheat
Following is a summary of the
crop . conditions in Oregon for the
week ending May 2, 1916, as report
ed to the Portland office of the Weath
er bureau by special correspondents
throughout the state:
Mild, sunny weather prevailed dur
ing the opening and closing days of
the week, while its middle portion was
cool and showery, which was favorable
for fall and spring-sown wheat, and
they have made excellent advance
ment, except that cutworms have done
a little damage in Morrow county.
Rye, barley, oats, alfalfa, range
grass and meadows have also made
excellent growth during the week, and
in consequence of the improvement in
pasturages stock has gained radi'dly
in flesh.
In the dry, central counties the
nights were too cool and the days too
windy for crops to make as much
growth as otherwise would have
been the case in view of the satis
factory condition of the soil, which
contains more moisture than usual
at this season of the year.
In many of the western counties,
especially on the low lands, the soil
is still too wet to be worked, and
planting has been delayed beyond -the
usual date. Many of the farmers in
the eastern counties have finished
their plowing and farm work there is
well in hand. Where irrigation is
necessary, the first water has been
put on the 'land, and there is a plenti
ful supply for the second irrigation
when it becomes necessary.
Sheep and goat shearing is pro
gressing under satisfactory conditions
and no material losses have so far
occurred in consequence of cold rain
or winds.
Fruit is doing nicely and there was
no frost damage during the week. In
the Ashland district the early and
late peaches are the most promising,
while the Crawfords will, at the best,
produce only a light crop.

ABOUT ITO CLOSE

club department of the county fair
this fall is being prepared, and this
feature of the work is getting much
attention from the young club work
ers. The club department at the
county fair is destined to be a great
part of that show this fall and the
county school exhibit will be placed
at the state fair again as it was last
year. The school officers and teach
ers have been working throughout the
year to develop interest in the county
and state fairs, and as a result the
children are keenly anticipating those
events.
Various projects are being under
taken in the industrial club work, and
many of these have already been
launched. The results of the work
of the superintendent's office and the
results of the interest taken in the
work will be apparent in the display
at the county fair in the fall.
Something progressive at all times,
is the plan upon which the office has
been working this year, and with that
drilled into the teachers of the county
it is very satisfying, according to
Mr. Calavan, to learn that the great
majority of the teachers in the county
will renew their contracts and will
remain at their posts for at least an
other year. The class of teachers in
the county is of a high order and it
will be kept so if possible by avoid
ing changes in the list. There are
naturally a few teachers who will go
elsewhere, but for the most part
there will be no changes.
A very few of the short term
schools in most outlying districts have
closed their doors for the year. There
are only a few schools in the county
whose terms are less than eight
months, and there are a great many
which extend their training ' period
over nine months. This results in a
pretty general closing about the mid
dle of May and from that time on
until the first of June the schools
about the county will close rapidly.
By the latter date nearly all the
schools will have stopped their work.
Immediately upon the closing of the
schools the superintendent's office will
redouble its efforts toward making the
exhibit at the county fair a success
and as soon as that is done there will
be the next school year to prepare for,
so that the work of the department
is continuous and unrelenting in its
demands.
Special emphasis has been placed
this year upon the "red ink" tests
outlined by Superintendent Calavan
and the result of these has been the
material betterment of scholastic
averages throughout the county.
These tests have been conducted
principally in spelling and arithmetic
and the children who have qualified
for honors in the tests were among
the most happy youngsters in their
respective schools.
As a result of the arithmetic tests
designed for the school children of
the upper grades in the county school
the following pupils, with percentage
indicated, will receive attractive di

LARGE MINING INCREASE
Value of Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead
and Zinc Nearly $30,000,000
The value of the gold, silver, cop
per, lead and zinc produced at mines
in the Eastern or Appalachian states
in 1915 was $29,968,369, against
$11,437,707 in 1914, according to the
statement just made public by the
United States Geological Survey. The
figures for 1915, compiled by James
M. Hill, represent the production of
104 mines, of which 59 were gold
placer mines (many of them small),
24 deep gold mines, 14 lead and zinc
mines, and 7 copper mines. There
was an increase in the production of
gold, silver, -lead and zinc in 1915,
compared with 1914, but a decrease in
copper.
The gold output from all mines
was 10.848.09 fine ounces, valued at
$224,250, an increase of 2.450.73
ounces in quantity and of $50,661 in
value from 1914. The silver output,

mainly as a by-product in refining the
gold and copper produced, was 102,
545 fine ounces, valued at $51,987, an
increase of 1,818 ounces in quantity
but a decrease of $3,715 in value. Of
the gold output in 1915 the placers
yielded 1,163.41 ounces, against 904.56
ounces in 1914, and the gold quartz
mines produced 9,343.54 ounces,
against 7,165.59 ounces in 1914. The
copper mines produced 335.14 ounces
of gold in 1915 and 327.21 ounces in
1914. Of the 59 producing gold plac
ers in 1915, there were 31 in Georgia,
22 in North Carolina, 2 in Alabama,
and -4 in South Carolina. Siliceous
ores of tailings sold' or treated from
Appalachian gold mines in 1915
amounted to 49,736 short tons, of
which 25,910 tons was from North
Carolina, 1,250 tons from Alabama,
20,052 tons from Georgia, 2,424 tons
from South Carolina, and 100 tons
from Virginia. The output of sili
ceous gold ore in 1915 was about
17,924 tons more than in 1914, and
the gold from deep mines increased
about 2,183.95 ounces. The average
recovery of gold (including nominal
recovery of silver) per ton of sili
ceous ores treated in the Eastern
states in 1915 was $5.55. The average
in Georgia was $1.29 and in North
Carolina $6.65.
The copper production in 1915 was
18,772,735 pounds, valued at $3,285,
229, a decrease of 782,627 pounds in
quantity and an increase of $684,366
in value. Of the total output 18,046,
010 pounds came from the Duck
town district of eastern Tennessee,
from 623,534 short tons of pyritic
copper ore treated. The remainder
came chiefly from Pennsylvania,
where at the Cornwall iron mines, the
magnetic separation of large quan
tities of magnetite ores results in the
recovery of copper-bearing prite.
Vermont, Virginia and North Caro
lina also contributed to the copper
output.
The production of lead was 697,329
pounds, valued at $32,775, an increase
over the 1914 production of 443.329
