ROBEY, Editor and Business Manager Published Thursdays from the Courier Building, Eighth Street, and entered in the Postofflce at Oregon City, Ore., as 2nd class mail matter. Subscription Price $1.60. Telephones: Pacific 61; Home-A-51, MEMBER OP WILLAMETTE VALLEY EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF OREGON STATE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN a ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES MOVING FORWARD The straightest road to perdition was the only one open for the people of the United States when it became apparent to certain very rabid and very unreasonable republican parti sans that Woodrow Wilson had been re-elected. The Courier is immensely pleased to note from the press stories it reads the truth of this terrible predic tion, and we wonder sometimes if the tormentor doesn't trifle with the imaginations of the aforementioned republicans. It is a matter for won der that the conscience of such speech makers is not sorely tried. Withal, the road to perdition is a pleasantly beautiful highway. It seems to (be paved with good inten tions that materialize; intentions that resolve into action and accomplish ment and is not nearly so difficult to travel as we had been led to believe. One of the first structures on the road to perdition will be the new Hawley mill additions, started, com pleted and operated under a demo cratic administration. Mr. Hawley doesn't let politics interfere with business and when he sees business coming his way he will provide him self to receive it with open arms even if "Bill" Bryan was president. The second edifice that will lend shade to the road to perdition, which we evidently will be forced to travel in spite of ourselves, will be the Ore gon City Manufacturing company's extensive additions. This plan will mean that probably 150 more men and women will be given employment here so that the long hours of their jour ney to perdition will be sweetened by the fruits of honest toil and the buy ing power of honest dollars. And when Mr. Jaeger sees an op ening for the modern building he has been talking about when he realizes that there is a profit to be made from such an investment we shall see such a building started and finished, and it will not make any particular difference to Mr. Jaeger who is pres ident. Then there is the new Moose lodge building on Main street construc tion will startsoon. And Mr. Busch is just now completing his fine new docks and warehouses on the water front. When the Southern Pacific com pany understands that it is destined for public ownership unless it gets a hump in fts back and builds a new depot in Oregon City we shall have the new depot and there will be no thought of who is president. When business warrants the loca tion in Oregon City of some other big manufacturing institution business heads will not hesitate because one man or another is at Washington. Frequently and . almost invariably business has its eyes on the dollars. If we have to sail the seas on our way to perdition as foreseen by these rabid republicans our voyage will be made pleasant by the sight of dozens of ships contracted for and actually being built in Oregon and elsewhere on this coast. If, perchance, our way to perdition leads through Portland, we shall see many new ship yards all busy; we shall see the proposed annex to the Benson hotel, a couple of extensive new bank buildings and several other plans under considera tion. And if we pause a Gladstone for entertainment we shall be per mitted to sit in the new $5000 audi torium and it won't matter greatly. since we are on our way anyhow, who is president. Really this highway to eternity doesn't seem to be such a very rocky road as it was pictured to us after the election. Ilf we have started our journey toward perdition let us keep it up and stay with tne car of pro gress to the very end for it appears to be passing wonderful things in the way of civic, industrial, moral and physical development. A GAMBLE CROP All farming has 'a large enough element of chance in it to make it a more or less "sporting" proposition says Farm and Fireside. There is no safe bet against crop destruction by frost, flood, hail and drought through out great areas of our country, and in spite of such modern aids as fungi cides and insecticides, destructive pests and blighting diseases fre quently interfere with a "sure thing' in commercial cropping operations, But year in and year out, potato- growing scales high as a gaming ven ture. The present harvest finds some potato-growing centers cashing in at the rate of $400 to $600 an acre for a crop the production cost of which is under $100 an acre. In the noted Arroostook potato growing district, growers are loading their crop3 on potato trains, which are sold f. o. b. for $1.50 to $1.60 a bushel. These growers think an acre age of less than 20 to 30 acres to the farm is small operating, and a yield of under 300 bushels an acre indicates inferior farming when the season is favorable. Crops of 60 to 80 acres of potatoes grown on 150-acre farms are by no means uncommon. Even a 50 acre potato crop yielding 250 bushels an acre and sold at $1.50 a bushel means a gross income of $18,750, and over $12,000 net. Can an operator on the stock exchange show anything much better, all things considered? COUNTY COURT (Continued from page 3) gore, $2.50; F. Madden & Co., $9.55.

INCOME REDUCED (Continued on page 6) Obituaries Decreased Valuations Put Institutions in Embarassing Predicament Because of a decrease this year of more than $55,000,000 in the valua tion of the taxable property of the state, the income of both the Oregon Agricultural college and the Univers ity of Oregon, from the millage tax, will be materially reduced next year. A steady increase in the enrollment at both institutions has aggravated the situation. Both will no doubt ask the legislature for aid, and in view of the 6 per cent tax limitation amendment, it is not believed that the lawmakers can extend help. "The estimates made two years ago indicated that the present valua tion of the state would be $1,000, 000,000," says he secretary of the Un iversity of Oregon, in a letter to Gov ernor Withycombe on the subject. "As a matter of fact, the valuation has fallen below this figure approxi mately $121,000,000. This means a loss to the university from the mill age tax of $36,500 per annum. Thus the university, with a decrease of in come, faces a steady increase of at least 16 per cent per annum in the enrollment, which means in 10 years on a conservative estimate an enroll ment in Eugene of 4501 students.'! The enrollment for this year is esti mated at 1035. "In connection with any study of college enrollment, the points of most significance are those which show the tendency of enrollment in regular de gree courses," says President Kerr of the agricultural college, in a letter dealing with the increased attendance of that instituton.

Established 1866 Largest Fur and Wool House in America (Zl) six years (including 1916-17) is 16 per cent. This is a remarkable in crease in the collegiate work, espe cially in view of the fact that during this period requirements for admis sion to these courses have been ad vanced from two. to four years of high school preparation. As was expect ed at the time the entrance require ments were advanced, there was a falling off in freshman students dur ing each year of the transition. In spite of this, however, the average increase in the freshman enrollment throughout the past six years is 19 per cent Registration for the cur rent year shows an increase of 31 per cent over last year in freshman stu dents. The millage tax will give the ag ricultural college $351,505.58 next year, which is $22,292.43 less than' last year. When the law putting the two institutions on a millage basis was passed it was figured that the valuation would sufficiently increase to give them funds for new buildings as well as maintenance, but they will fall far short of this, it is said. !

Funeral services were held Wednesday morning from St. John's Catholic church and inter ment will be in the Catholic cemetery. Mrs. Glennon was a native of Lang- ford, Ireland, where she was born May 1, 1832. She came to the Unit ed States at the age of 25. After spending a few years in the east, she came to Oregon, locating near Red land, where she was married to Fred Glennon. She is survived by Mr. Glennon, two sisters, Mrs. J. G. Por ter of Oregon City and Mrs. Sarah McCann of Milwaukie and one broth er, Patrick McCartney, who lives in Ireland. , THE BOYCOTT AGAIN Mrs. Burr Says Wealthy Women are Behind Boycott Clackamas, Ore., Dec. 15, 1916. Editor Courier: Does a boycott on food have the desired effect? In looking over the market and reckoning the cost of production I find that many articles of food put on the market at a loss to the producers at even the high prices that are paid. Eggs at fifty cents a dozen will not pay for the feed of an ordinary flock of hens and pork at the present high prices does not pay for the feed and care and time that is taken to get it on the market. The boycott will cause the small farmer to go out of business, and the large farmer will control the mar kets and then will at the same time be also food raised. So long as there is plenty of food there is a chance for everyone to be well fed, even if the price is high, but so soon as there is scarcity of food some are sure, to suffer and starve.
