Not alone hare the residents of the out lying districts of this county felt the need of closer association and means of coniunl cation with the county seat hut the people of this city have found at all times that it was impossible to transact business with the many communities of the county on account of the length of tinie required to reach persons by the use of the mails, but they have repeatedly feared to trust the mail on account of their unreliability in point ol time. This uncertainty has led to many a trip where a dozen words would have done the business if one could hare been certain that those words would reach their destination at the time desired, farmers are almost daily leaving their work and coming to town at great inconvenience and trouble to themselves in order to ex pedite and make certain that the business which they wish to have done shall be done at the proper time and the business men of the city are repeatedly obliged to go to ex tra expense in sending messengers to the different parts of the county when with a reliable and quick means of conveying messages at their .disposal they could ob Tiale the expense and necessity of the tire some ride over rough and not infrequently very muddy roads. It has been generally supposed that the tel egraph instrument and line were for the use of metropolitan communities only and that they were luxuries beyond the reach of all rural communities who must dend for their communication with the outside and business world upon the slower moving mail, but the people of the Cape Horn Telegraph line have successfully demonstrated the success ot the telegraph line for the tran saction of country business. For nearly a year a line has been in successtul operation from Cape Horn npon the Columbia down to Portland and so well has it been patron ized and so admirable has been its opera tion that the promoters have concluded to extend its services to the outlying parts of Clackamas county and they are now en gaged in building the line which is in tended upon its completion to connect all parts of the county with Oregon City and Portland. This line is now Hearing Sandy where it would have been but for the bad weather which compelled its builders to cease operations for the time being. It is the intention of the builders to extend it to all the south easterly parts of the county and thence to this city and they not un reasonable ask the business men ol this place to assist them in an undertaking which is costing considerable money and will immediately upon its completion result in much good to this city. It is one of those enterprises which being meritorious should be encouraged In a practical manner as it is intended to work material and perma nent good not only to the business men but to the entire community. Mr. Birt, the president and manager of the line, has demonstrated his ability to make a success of the business and of the enterprise and the people living along the line already in operation are receiving the benefits of quick and reliable communication. By all means let us encourage and help the enterprise. VALVES SJIRLVK'LYO. THEY SWING INWARD. President Harrison called the attention of the country to the fact that the gates ol Cas tle Garden swing only inward. At this time the conditions have changed, and it is now figured out that two persona are leav- ing the country at the present time for every one that is coming In. This is the record at New York, at which point the majority of the emigrants land. Of course, Americans going on a tour to Europe, and expecting to return in a few weeks or morltbs, are not counted in this outgoing stream. Only per sons who are supposed to be going away to stay are reckoned in the computation. The steerage capacity of the steamers plying be tween New York and the chief porta of Eu rope is said to be taxed up to the utmost by this outward movement. The business depression is the great cause of this change, and while the result so far as it effects emigration is not io be deplored, there is no reason to desire a continuation of the evils of the tiroes solely for the pur pose of turning the tide of travel. But it Is -desirable that such laws be passed as will properly restrict Immigration and. especially, he pauper and criminal elsisei. ' Manufacturers will not risk their capital In the production ol stock that rammt be sold until six months have passed between (he time of the first step In conversion from raw material to that of its being placed on the market, it they leaf that when the six mouths are ended they will be rumellrd to sell in unrestricted competition with Ih products of foreign manufacturers whose wane cost hss been lese than half that of their own. This a proposition too plain to need the support of argument. Times are dull because money does not circulate. And it does not circulate be cause there is a shrinkage variously esti mated at rrom 40 to til per cent. In the amount of money weekly paid as wages. This shrinkage according to the Chicago Inter Ocean, will be permanent except as it mav be Increased should a tariff lor revenue only become a fixed tact. For, If American manufacturers have to sell goods at European rates, they must hire labor at European rates. Any other result is not only impossible but unimaginable. Times are dull because the difference between the amount of wages paid during any given week of September, lfctt, and during the week ending Nov. 5 l.VJ, is estimated at. 130,000,000 thoroughout the United States. The purchasing power of the people is the chief factor of National prosperity; the prices of comoditiea are comparatively unimportant. A suit ol cloths at $15 is cheaer to a man who earns $18 per week thau a suit of like quality at $10 Is to a man who earns $12. The value of protection to American industries now is being taught somewhat painful to many who denied its existence while they were enjoying It blessings, Ir anyone labors under the delusion that the Kansas populist opinion is pop ular in the South and that it is in a fair way to carry every thing before It ami do away with the solid south he would do well to consider these words from so eminent an authority as the Atlanta Constitution, which says: "The governorsand the people of the sotitnera states believe that this is one country with one flag and one destiny. They want no sectional discriminations, and no combinations that would buildup one part of this country at the expense of another. They believe that a bouse di vided against itself cannot stand, and they cling to the hope that the resources of our Btatesmenship and patriotism willcrystaliie into wise and just laws that will bring pros perity and happlnes to our whole people. Accordino to the St. Louis Globe Demo crat there is more currency per capita in the country than there ever was before. That is to sav, the country's money is grow, ing faster than Its population, ami far faster than its business. If we had less of the silver element of this currency, however, and more of the gold element business would be better and the people would be more prosperous. In money quality "counts" for a great deal more that quantity. CHRISTIAN KSUtUVOK IVNVKNT10N. Report of Hi Interesting Meeting Held t Milwaukee Friday ami Saturday. THE CITY AT TUB FALLS. Our Eicbanges Lock at the Future of the'lFalli With Bright Eyes. The Hillsboro Independent says: The busiest place seen last week was Ore. gon City. The great enterprise in progress there is the Electric Light and Power com pany's improvement. The company already has a plant on the east side of the river, where the electricity Is generated which is used in lighting Portland. In the big city 1200 arc lights are set, and 12,000 incandes cent. Power is also furnished to the Portland-Oregon City car line. On the west side of the river a plant is bnilding that will develope 12,000 horse Kwer. There is not more massive water power machinery in the world than is going into I lie great con crete compartment- All beadworka and foundations are built of cement and sand concrete. The company is spending much money, but will have a property worth more than they have paid for it. On the west side of the river It owns, from a point near the bridge below the falls, all the water front up the river to the mouth of the Tualatin, a distance of four miles. An electric road is building from the bridge to the Tulatin, where a town has been pro. jected, and where will be the residences of the operatives that will be employed in the factories and Industries that are certain to cluster about the Falls of the Willamette. As seen by the Dayton Herald: It is our belief that Oregon City Is one of the most prosperous cities In the northwest. While in that city last week the editor visited the locks and noted the great work and vast improvements going on there by the direc, tionof the Electric Light company. The locks are covered with parts of heavy machinery, many single pieces of which weighs thousands of pounds each. Many laborers and machines are employed pre paring a foundation for a building in which to place this heavy machinery, which is to be used In electric works. Letter Lilt.

In the line of furniture, carpets, win dow shades, vail paper, lounges and mattresses 70a can beat Portland prices by calling In the Oregon City ban block under the Estmhbi offiee. - The second minimi Christian Kmleavor convention of Clackamas county was lirltl at Milwaukee In the Episcopal church on Friday and Saturday, October tl and 7. The first session was 0ned promptly on time at 2 p. m., on Friday, by tieorge How ard, of Park Place, who led the opening ex ercises with a song and devotional service. Although there was not over a half dotsn people present when lh singing com menced quite a goodly uiiiiiherhad gathered before the 10 minute opening was over. An organisation was effected by electing 0. H. Bestow of Oregon City as temporary chairman, because of the absence of the president, and George Howard temporsry secretary, At :Vi an Intermission was taken (or the purpose of getting acquainted, which pleas ant opportunity was promptly put Into good use. The remainder of the anernoon was oc cupied with music and a paper, "How lo At tract Interest and Keep it," by Mrs. F.slella Ohlsen, or Oregon City, and an address, "My Duty at the Mid-week Prayer Meeting," by Rev. Oilman Parker, of Oregon City. Mrs, Ohlsen's main thought was a " Filled Lead ership;" Riled with Bible truth by study; Blled with Christ ; filled with the Holy Ohosl, and attractive service, singing, prayer, per sonal work, Mr. Parker contended that we oightnol to look upon the mid-week prayer meeting as a duty but a privilege; and If it 1st lira meeting II ought to be a privilege to be pres ent and participate, If it is a dull meeting it ought to be a privilege to make it live. The evening meeting was opened by a model devotional service, led by W. 11. Morrow, of Portland, which was followed by the address of welcome by T. J. Gary of Milwaukee. Mr. Gary was moat hearty and cordial in his welcome, and the people of Milwaukee seconded every word he said by the good cheer given with the hoapl'al ity shown to the delegates front abroad. Mr. Gary offered the earth, or as much of It as was in the possession of the people of Miwaukee, and the people diatnbuted lib erally to their guests. J. K. Groom, of Park Place, a new comer to the county and state, responded to the welcome in a very felicitous and earnest ad dress, in which he complimented the Mil waukee society and declared his conviction that as reinforcements often win a victory when an army is about overcome, so the army of the living God will sweep the low ers of sin and darkness from the land be cause of the reinforcements by the Society lot Christian Endeavor and kindred young people's organisations. An able par, " How can I get the most Good fioin the Convention?" by J. II. Ulack of Oregon City, was read by W. 0. llrattie. The paper, " Stumbling Mocks," was not forthcoming, but the subject nevertheless wus well handled by Erastus Smith, W. II. Morrow and others. Chairman Bestow at this session ap pointed committees as follows: Nominaling-T. J. Gary, Mr. Muer, Mr. Hornshuh, Mrs. Ohlson, Mrs. J. K. White. Place of Meeting for next Year W. II. Beattie, Miss Muttie Gray, George Howard. Program, for next Year J. K. Groom B. M. Fisch, Miss Maggie Williams, Miss Gertrude Humphrey, George Hamilton. On Saturday at (J a. m. there was a prayer meeting, led by Mrs. Margaret A. Wilson. The number present was small, but un ,1, .iil.i.., II v ilia lri' attendance and intense Interest manifested during tie day, was largely due to the earnest prayers of thos few consecrated souls. The weather was excessively bad for even an Oregon winter, more rain having fallen during the twenty lour hours than had been known to full In the same time for years before. After the devotional exercies owning the morning session, instead of the president's address a letter was read from him express ing his regrets because of necessary absence, and sending christian greeting. There were reports from ten societies- Beaver Creek, Presbyterian ; Logan, Baptist; Milwaukee, Union; Oregon City, Baptist Congregational and Presbyterian ; Oswego, Congregational; Park Place, Congrega tional; West Bide, Baptist; Springwater, Baptist. The reports of committees being called for, the nominating committee reported, for president, T. J. Gary ; 1st vice president, K A. Smith, 2d vice president, Richard Mar graves; 3d vice president, Georgo Hamil ton; secretary, W. G. Bealtie; treasurer, Mrs. J. E. White. The committee on place of meeting re ported In favor of the Presbyterian cburcb of Oregon City. Both reports were unanimously adopted. A committee on by-laws was appointed to report at the next meeting. The com mittee consists of C. H. Dye, Miss Gertrude Finley and J. H. Black. In the absence of Miss Ella Currin of Currinsville, her subject, " Relation of C. E. societies to Missions," was discussed by several of the delegates. "The Relation of Christian Endeavor So cieties to Temperance" was well handled by Miss Finley. "The Associate Members." by Rey. Oil man Parker, was full of encouragement and helpful thought The afternoon praise service was led by C. II. Dye, of Oregon City. From 1 :50 to 2:15 was occupied by short papers on committee work, by O. 8. Ohlsen, Erastus 8mitb, C. II. Dye. Mus Maggie Wll liams, Mrs. J. E. White, and W.O. Beattie. The event of the afternoon was " Good Literature Committee and Kindred Work," by Miss Caroline Strong, of Portland, edi tor of the Oregon " Christian Endeavorer." A free for all discussion of all the papers brought out many helpful suggestions. Another good paper was Mrs. Oilman Parker's on "Junior Work." This was quite treat too, as Mrs. Parker Is at the bead of what Is believtd to be tlie largest Junior society In the world, at least the largest reportedjup to date, and It was in teresting to hear ef the methods wtlcb bad been nsed to produce this growth. The Question Box, by E. 8. Miller, ol Portland, brought eut questions which were timely and answers whMi were pointed. Messrs. I)yn4 Uargreavet led praise and prayer service In the evening, al'ef which Key, Thos. Boyd, or Portland, deliv ered an eloquent and stirring address on " What the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor has Accomplished," In which, after reminding the audience that the movement was only twelve years old, be showed seven things which It lias ao complishi'd lor God and the church. The reporter would like to give a summary of bis address, but this report is already loo long. The consecration service was conducted by Rev, Oilman Parker. During the afternoon $!UK were pledged by th representatives ort'ie illllerenl socie ties to defray the expense ol the iiieeling. Mrs. Martha A. Wilson and Mrs. 1. K. White acted as organists. Ouartetless were rendered by Mra. J. K. White, Miss Minnie Graham, (). II. Bestow, and J. K Hoffman with Misa Ana Halrd as organist, of Oregon City, and by Misses Sanaom, Honnett and Roger and Messrs. Flsch and Wsislugerof Milwaukee. . Vocal Solos were rendered by Mrs. K. K. Charman and Mrs. J. W, Gray of Oregon City. The convention was a success every wav. It grew in spirituality and power from be- f inning to end, and although a county Bl air, and held during as bad weather as could passlhlv b had, It was greater In point of number than th first Ihre state conventions.
