THE REASON
THROUGH the co-operation of several hundred good stores with a maker of fine
Jilouses are the remarkable values possible. The orders were placed by the re
tailers early permitting the manufacturer in turn, to then place his order with
the Mill, and both because of his large quantity purchase and the time at which pur
chase was made, the price paid for the Silk represented a tremendous saving. Then,
too, the method of manufacture greatly reduced the making 'cost and tho selling

year than at any time for several
years past. Building activity through
out the county has been very marked
this year and in this line our busi
ness has been decidedly better than it
has been. During each month of the
present year there has been a com
mercial increase, we have enlarged our
stocks and added new lines during
the year to keep up with the business
progress. The fact that the year has
been notable for the new building un
dertakings is evidence that conditions
are very good. Our outlook upon the
future is expressed in the fact that
we are preparing to build new docks
and warehouses on our property here
at a great expenses. We are confi
dent of improvement." Frank Busch,
owner of the Busch store.
"Automobiles are a good guage of
prosperity. We are selling automo
biles faster than, we can get them in
and have orders in advance of our
greatest supply at present. This has
been an exceptionally good year in the
sale of small and large cars, "Our
business is growing steadily this
year it has made rapid strides. When
farmers and residents of the city alike
buy automobiles there must really be
prosperity." R. E. Park, manager,
the Pacific Highway Garage.
"I am enthusiastic as a result of the
business transacted in this store with
in the past year. The business has
been better this year than at any time
since its establishment in Oregon City.
We draw a large trade from out
side the city and a large local
trade, which indicates, to my mind,
the general condition of the cpunty.
The business is consantly growing
and I faithfully believe that the pros
pects for continued improvement are
most excellent." J. C. Cochran, man

(Continued from Puge 1)
women are not for Wilson. I discov
ered that throughout the state. 1
haven't found a single progressive
who isn't for Hughes." And, listen!
W. L. Tooze, Sr., said this:
"The Hughes candidacy is the an
swer to a psychological call from
the hills, mountains and valleys of the
United States." Tooze was followed
by A. E. Clark, whose oratory was
tho most interesting part of the ban
quet program. Clark said, without
thought of or reference to the Tooze
speech:
"Psychology is a mighty poor sub
stitute for a square meal."
And "Billy" Wilson, staunch and
brave old republican that "Billy" Wil
son is, was sound asleep. The sheriff
heard Mr. Tooze tell of the psycho
logical candidate, and heard the aud
ience applaud the statement, but hi
dreamed of chicken thieves and cattle
rustlers during the applause that
greeted refutation of the value of psy
chology. While the good republican,
Wilson, was asleep, then, we learned
that Hughes was a psychological can
didate and that psychology was n
mighty poor substitute for a square
meal. Sadly laughable.
A. E. Clark, lawyer, proved himself
un orator of rare talent. 1 ho ban
queters, except those who cringed low
in their seats from the shame of the
ostracism Hint they felt, cheered Clark
long and heartily after his long and
hearty speech. They almost called
him to his feet a second time their
greeting was so continued and noisy.
Clark expressed the same contempt
for his fellow citizens who are demo
crats as did tho governor of the state
and other speakers. He made several
good republicans lower the center of
their gravity as they slid down into
their chairs, ashamed.
"Democrats are non-partisans,"
said Clark. "There are independent
democrats, free trade democrats, sing
le tax democrats and Lincoln demo
crats. The annexation of Lincoln, in
the light of history, was some achieve
ment for democracy. Our criticism of
the democratic party may not reach
democratic intelligence, but we shall
continue to criticize. The democratic
party platform writers are verbally
the most militant people in the
world."
And then came more applause as
W. C. Hawley, congressman at Wash
ington from this district, took the floor
to talk about the Mexican situation,
a subject with which he was sadly
unfamiliar. During his speech
those republicans who had not
joined the democrats in the rows
that blushed to know that such
speakers had profaned the term
"Americanism," and who sullied tho
honor of the nation by displaying their
contempt and uttering their scorn of
their fellow citizens those who still
listened heard the Honorable W. C.
Hawley say this:
"American steel and ammunition
murdered women and destroyed chil
dren in Mexico."
As an honest and honorable Amer
ican citizen; as a man or women with
the thought in your mind that the
American flag was a most sacred em
blem! with the patriotism in your
blood that has been instilled through
life in the shadow of that starry ban
ner; instilled there by the teaching's
of your patriotic mother and father
before you the people who fought
our battles that the union and the
brotherhood of man might be supreme
in the United States as such a per
son, would you glory in the murder of
women and children by American arms
and aiuunition? Yet, the professional
politicians nt the banquet on Saturday
night did that very thing. The ap
plause following Hawley's remark
was like the thunder of tho heavens.
These people seemed to glory with the
enthusiasm of fiends, at the wondrous
accomplishment of American arms
and ammunition.
The speaker blamed Woodrow Wil
son personally for the existence be
yond the border of arms and ammu
nitions of American manufacture.
But his audience did not cheer when
Hawley said Wilson was culpable.
They cheered loud and long when h-
said that women and children had been
murdered and destroyed by weapons
from the Winchester Arms company.
Such glorilicntion would make the
weakest patriot cover his face in
shame.
But, from these statements, made
by the professional politicians assem
bled in banquet Saturday evening, one
can gather the spirit of the meeting.
It was a spirit so un-American, so
un-patriotic, so inhuman, that we felt
almost antagonistic as these speak
ers, who had tarnished the glory of
the nation's flag, who had torn at the
foundations of a republic' with their
anarchistic remarks, stood up about
the tables as the orchestra struck into
the honorable yet unhonored strains
of "Tho Star Spangled Banner."
Finis: If the Hughes campaign rec
ognizes the republicanism of the
Clackamas County Republican Cen
tral committee orators, then we, as
American citizens, mindful of the pat
riotism of our forefathers whose life
blood welded all people together in
this nation as brothers and sisters un
der one flag, and a president regard
less of his personal politics to steer
the ship of state, we can have little
respect for the Hughes campaign.

"We have by far more consumers
of electrical energy than we have ever
had in this territory. I am positive
that business generally is better than
it ever has been during the time I
have been in the community. The use
of electrical energy is a business cri
terion. In the lean years the electric
service is one of the first to feel tho
slump and when real prosperity ar
rives it is the barometer that tells the
story. The story today is that this
company serves more consumers than
it ever did and each day is adding new
ones who have put off the electrifica
tion of their homes and stores in wait
ing for just these conditions. The
trade in appliances is also better and
serves to indicate the general condi
tions because these things have gen
erally been considered as luxuries.
The outlook, by these tokens, is fine."

Council men Will Retire
Asked yesterday about his political
future, Mayor E. C. Hackett stated
that he would not actively seek re

to a genuine desire for his service

majority last December and he will
undoubtedly be asked to become a cat
didate again.
The municipal election takes place
on December 4, and different groups

or Hackett, Dr. Hugh S. Mount and
ex-Mayor Linn E. Jones are the most
prominently mentioned for the mayor
alty. The contest for the city attor
neyship will be between C. Schuebel
incumbent, and E. C. Latourette
prominent young barister. John W.
Loder, incumbent, is the only candi
date mentioned for city recorder.
Cnuncilmen H. M. Templeton, ward
one, James Roake, ward two, and E.
B. Andrews, ward three, are the alder

Tax Commission Sends Man to De
termine Cash Value of Lands
Frank K. Lovell of the state tax
commision is working in the court
house here today on a plan to derive
the true valuation of the lands and
properties in Clackamas county. The
true valuation is determined to a rea
sonable degree of certainty by com
paring the price of lands and property
mentioned in deeds with the figures
of the county assesor's assessment.
This method gives the percentage of
true cash value. Other ways of as
certaining the owners' valuation are
found and compared with the assess
or's figures so that the resulting val
ues are as nearly correct as they can
be made.
