Damascus, Jan. 17. To the Eoitoi: I
am one that is against the division ol Clack
amas county. I think your Sandy corres
pondent has given us some plain facts
which our north side Clackamas county tax
payers ought to consider well. Home peo
ple complain that Oregon City wants to run
everything. But I think that if we get irto
Multnomah they will find that Portland
will not only want to, but will, run the af
fairs of the county, and we taxpayers can
help to bear the city's burdens.
As it is here now in this county we fann
ers have a little to say in the county's af
fairs. Oh, some say, we will have good
roads if we get into Multnomah county. If
we get good roads somebody will have to
pay for them, and we will have to pay tor all
we get.
Multnomah does not want to take us on
for charity's sake.
Because there was a petition sent to Salem
from this part it is not positive proof that
all are in favoroladivision.il the county.
For there are some people always ready to
sign a petition because some one asks them
to. And with some it don't make any dif
ference which county they are in as they pay
no tax anyway. J. C. MtMtiKBy.

WiLsoMvtt.i.x, Jan. IS. In spite ol the
democratic howl about hard times the ieo
pie of this section are evidently "n a ver
prosHruus condition. Improvements are
of almost daily occurrence, and more land
is being cleared in Wllsonville this year than
there has lieen for several years past. C. Y.
Tooxe is getting ten acres cleared for which
he pays .'lii er acre. Henry Miley is hav
ing ten acres at ;).' par acre, S. II. s.v live
j acres at f.K per acre, and Hon. John Kruse
has just had twenty-live acres grubbed fori
which he paid $i' per acre. In addition to
these there are several more join lor men
seeking employment.
Although this does not tend to supKirt
the demacratic theory of hard times it is a
fact nevertheless, and I may also add that
hard times is something unknown lo the
farmers of this section, the democratic and
populist orators to the contrary notwithstanding.
John Rose Is preparing to go into the Imp
business and contemplates putting out a

Ira Seely, with the aid of two hired hands,
is busy clearing up a piece of ground. Ira

The constantly growing demand for Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream tartar powder
for forty years, is due to two causes.
FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu
facturers to make it perfectly pure, uniform in quality, and
of highest raising power.
SECOND: The recent investigations exposing the
fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain
ammonia and still others that were found to contain alum.
These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out,
and the consumers are giving them a wide birth.
Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr.
Price's Cream Baking Powder. Chemists are employed to
test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence;
its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like
every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST.
