Gkokhe H. Kkkkes writes us from Spring
water complaining that his taxes are much
higher in proportion than other neighbors
w ho have nine!) more land, improvements
and stock. This condition of alVairs exists
everywhere in the state under the law as it
has been for years and under which the
present collection of taxes is being made.
Mr. Kernes, like many other men of moder
ate means, has been compelled to bear the
brunt of taxation while men far better able
than he escape their just share of the bur
den. It is to be hoped that the new law
under w hu h the present assessment is being
made will place the burden of tuxatioti
upon the shoulders of all men in proportion
to their share of taxable property, and that
none will escape.
A ciRcrLAB from the unemployed work
men of San Francisco, just received at this
otlice, states that there are ten men there
for every job, and warns workingmen not
to come to that city as the streets are full ot
idle men.

New Sidewalk-Improvement About Tuwn
Free Heading Uimiiii.
ORGANISED EFFORT.
The importance of placing themselves on
a substantial working basis for concertive
systematic action in promoting the fruit in
dustry and interests in this section has pre
sented itself to the fruit growers of this
county, as was evidenced by the attendance
and interest in the meeting on Saturday for
the purpose of organizing a horticultural
association. There was not a crowd at the
meeting but the interest was considerable
and those present were intent on making
the association the means of much practical
good to the fruit raisers so that tbe industry
may be made as profitable as possible.
It is getting to be generally known and
conceded that no county in tbe state pos
sesses as many conditions for successful
fruit culture as Clackamas. Soil and cli
mate are favorable to production, and the
location makes shipping both easy and con
venient as well as cheap, so that all condi
tions conspire to make it possible for fruit
raisers to get better fruit into market in bet
ter shape and at less expense than other
growers not so favorably situated, thus en
abling the growers of this county to secure
the highest prices and the largest profits.
But if fruit growers of this section are to
reap the benefits which may be theirs, they
must cultivate not only their orchards but
the markets as well. For painstaking, in
dustrious, intelligent and careful cultivat
ors of the several varieties of fruit adapted to
this section there waits a golden harvest,
and concertive systematic action upon tbe
part of growers will only assist to build
op the market ami to create a desire for bet
ter methods in cultivation and shipment,
which will in the end add to the prolils in
stead of to detract from.
With these several objects in view all
fruit growers of this county and those who
are interested in fruits should unite to make
tbe Clackamas County Horticultural Society
a live body and a practical success. Tbe
way to do this is to join the society, attend
all meetings and participate in its discus
sions, endeavoring to bring for its consid
eration some fact relative to fruit culture
which will benefit tbe members of the society.

CARl'S CLIPPINGS.
The Grip Doing It Work-Yonng People Scat
tering Bad Roads and Taxes.
Cari-s. April 10. The grippe has been
doing its work in this community. Nearly
every family has had one or more atllicted
members.
Rev. Molloy's buggy was seen fast in the

this vicinitv. Eugene Havward in Castle
Rock, Washington, Johnny Bond ditto, Os
car May and Tom Jones to Oregon City.
Muses Thomas talks of going to Eastern
Oregon soon; unless the Mct'ord mill starts
up.
Na wonder farmers grumble over high
taxes, when useless expenditure is theseeiu
ing cause. If substantial benefit to their
interests resulted from the outlay there
would be no complaint. Theories of brainy
politicians are not so available for practical
use as the good sense of interested parties.

OTHER BAD ROADS.
A proposition was for some time dis
cussed in Columbia county to improve one
of the leading thoroughfares of the county
by bonding adjacent property, but it seems
that in spite of the very bad roads tbe im
provement was not wanted, which caused
the St. Helens Mist to exclaim:
"From the best information obtainable
the majority of people in Columbia couuty
do not want good roads. The effort to build
a road from Clatskanie to Rainier has met
with almost unanimous opposition. At the
meeting recently called at Clatskanie the
sentiment was so strong against the move
ment that it was not called to order at all.
After all the hue and cry about the awful
condition of the roads, and, too, after the
legislature had made it possible for the dif
ferent sections to build substantial roads, it
ssems that the privilege is not to be utilized.
This is now simply a niatier of option that
all have a right to oppose or indorse; but
since failure of the movement seems certain
let us hope that the ever prevailing wail by
a certain class of people about better high
ways, will henceforth and forevercease. 1
