The semi-annual financial statement of Clackamas county, published in another column, shows that the county is yet in a good financial standing notwithstanding the heavy drams that bare been made for road improvements and other expenses during tbe year. The total liabilities ol the county are shown to be f 141,572.35, while the re sources are given at $53,132.93, eavig the apparent indebtedness of the county at $$8, 439.42. It is estimated that full; $40,000 of tbe cointv's resources can be realized on so that the actual indebtedness of Clackamas county is not far from $100,000. This is not so bad a showing as our populist friends would make us believe. With a (48.000 court house, a $27,000 suspension bridge, eleven bridges across the Sandy, Clackamas and Molalla rivers, costing from $2,800 to $9,000 each, over two hundred smaller bridges, and fully forty miles of turnpike roads to show for this indebtedness. And it must be remembered that these improve ments have all been made within the past seven years. With the indebtedness clause out of tbe tax levy, and no large bridges to build or otber heavy expenses likely to be incurred, the indebtedness of the county should be greatly reduced in the next two years. Tbisis the first statement that ever showed I the actual amount ot the interest on the out standing warrants; and to County Treas urer Moore is due the credit of this extra work. It will also be observed that the de linquent list is barely over $8,000, the lowest - in proportion to the levy ever known in the comity. This good showing is due to the Tin fire last Saturday evening demon strated that three things are necessary to the proper protection of property on the hill, via: graded streets, fire alarm service, and a hose cart in good repair with plenty of new hose. With a hose cart so badly out of re pair that the tool-box was lost on the way, leaving the firemen without a wrench, and the streets so rough that no sced could he made, and with wandering around trying to find tbe fire, the firemen are not to be cet sured for being late at the fire and doing so little toward extinguishing it. Willi the new buildings that are being erected the houses in the residence part of the city are now getting so close that with a high wind a fire could spread rapidly and cause a seri ous loss. As a means of protection the present company should have good appara tus and another company be orgauiied in the north part of the city, and with Kiev, enth or Tweltth street and some north and south streets graded Madison reach ing the largest part of town, the residence part of Oregon City would have fire protec tion equal to its merits. Thi New Orleans Ticayune has addressed a circular to each of 8f8 planters listed in Bouchneau's sugar report for ISM; the cir cular was one of inquiry as to opinions con cerning the revolt from democracy to r publicanism. Of those who have made reply, fifty-four per cent approve, twenty six per cent disapprove, and twenty er cent are non-committal. The figures are the more interesting in that they are made in response to the inquiry of a Journal that is hostile to the revolt. It is safe to say that a majority of tbe non-committal twenty per cent are with the new republican converts. Jox Waldhof, the noted populist speaker and writer has retired from the editorial management of the Portland Leader, as signing as a cause tbe lack of financial sup port to the paper on the part of the mem bers of his party. As to who shall take charge of the paper has not been announced yet it is thought that the paper will not last long as Key. Waldrop was its main supporter. Thb Daily Sun, Portland's new paper, made its appearance Monday morning. It is a six-column, eight-page paper, and Is well edited and neat appearing typographi cally. Tbe first number contained a big telegraphic scoop on the Oregonian, and it bids fair to give the big daily a stiff compe tition. Tbe Sun is to be independent in politics. exertions of Sheriff Maddock in pushing his collections, and to tbe absence of that un certain resource, the mortgage tax levy. THE TRUST AT WORK. A prominent daily paper of Wales has a paragraph announcing that tbe Welch tin- j plate manufacturers are filling numerous orders rereived from the United States by cable, at an advance of 9d. a box In price. How is this? Tbe new tariff reduces the duty on tin-plate almost one-half, and tbe price of the foreign article advances! Evidently the agent of the American Book Company, who was in this county a short time since, got his work in on the alliance people in good shape, for tbey have come out boldly in favor of retaining tbe books of ihe trust. They passed at the recent ses sion of the county alliance a set of resolu tions, space for which is given in another column, condemning any change in the text books of our schools, without assign ing a reason for tbeir action otber than that they were afraid some trust or monop oly was interested in the change. The ac tion of the alliance shows bow litttle Its members know about the school book ques tion and bow easy it is to dupe them into working right into tbe hands of the most powerful book trust in America. Tbe American Book Company is a trust com posed of several of the largest school book publishing houses in the country, who have combined to control tbe price of school books. Tbeir plan is to divide among them selves tbe states in which they secure con tracts, and when they once get control of a state, like they have in Oregon, to so con trol popular sentiment as to give them the exclusive monopoly of the business. If our alliance friends would do a little investi gation tliey might find it to theii advantage as patrons of the schools to favor a change in the books. lor the probab ilities are that the publishing houses outside of the combine will bid very low, and it may be money in our pockets to have a change. The books issued br the various firms competing are all good, and as tbe county superintendents who are to do the voting are all persons of intelligence and business training tbey will undoubtedly give tbe contract to tbe house making the best rate. Tbe E5TEBPBI8K will publish no more res olutions in favor of the American Book Company unless paid for at the regular ad vertising rates. A bi'sh el of wheat brought twenty pounds of sugar under McKinley protec tion. It buys only ten pounds of sugar under the first step toward free trade. How much will it buy with the absolute free trade that is promised to the firmer? deal of valuable space in their edilorinl col unia Irving to convince farmers how they can better their condition by turning their attention to hog funning as a means of get ting away with their low priced wheat. This may be all well enough but the Graphic believes llint the Oregon fttnuor knows alHHit as much about his business as the average Oregon editor does. We pity Ihe poor fanner who undertakes to appropriate all the cheap advice he is getting theseduvs. The Inter tVcau gives the following hints to the laboring men that Is worth pondering over though the reader may have voted for a "change" : A word to the le is enough. It is ltnHirlnt that our worklngmen who are about to put in their winter supply of statuary, laces, china, ostrich feathers, and other such necessities that the new tarill law has kindly placed within reach of Ihe humblest should get first class articles. Tor there will be three cold winters before a re publican congress and president will be ready to do business together, and some of these necessities may have to be temporar ily deposited with your "mu le." bo gel a good thing while you are about it. Ostrich ate much nicer than turkey lent hers with which to keep the dust off the portrait ol the old man who voted Ihe republican ticket straight from Fremont to Harrison, and with his last breath prayed hi son not to spoil the family record for common sense. On the question of heavy taxes paid semi annually, or all payable in the fall of the vear, the St. Helens Mist makes the follow ing point In the discussion : We believe thai taxes should be made payable semi-annually, thai is, one-half in the spring and the other in the fall. There are two empty.', tions along this line. One is to make taxes payable in the fall or else semi-annually, as alnwe stated. Very few farmers or even business men have money In the spring with which to pay, and if so, It would afford them partial relief to have an extension of time on half the amount. Ol the two plans we believe the latter aould prove most sat isfactory, but either would be an improve ment on Ihe present law. Of Ihe visit of Ihe business men of Port land to Astoria and of Ihe new friend ship and co-operation that is springing up between the cities of our state, the Kvvuing Telegram has the following to say: The spirit of getting together seems to hare taken hold ol Oregon people at last, and If it can be kept alive long enough great good must result. Our business men are just be ginning to get acuttainted with each other, and are for the first time learning that they must depend on each other for help. And what Is still more singular, the business men of Portland are just beginning lo In form themselves of the resources of this great state of Oregon and of the possibilities of Its future develovement. Past prosperity bad spoiled us. We bad too much of it. When everybody was making money and everything was coming everybody's way, there was no inducement for the business interests to get together and work on the co-operative plan. In this respect the hard limes have been a positive benefit to us. They have taught as the necessity lor cul tivating a spirit of mutuality, and that we are a community in fact as w ell as In name. The business men's excursions which have been inaugurated lately are doing great help i in this direction. By an association of! business interests and mutual co operation greater things can oe accomplished than if left to individual effort.

United States soldiers are to be armed with a new rifle. It Is called the Krag-Jor-gensen rifle. It Is a magazine rifle. The first Installment of tbe new weapon was lately given to the Second and Fourth In fantry of New York, This Krag-Jorgensen rifle is described as a truly formidable weapon. It is made to be usefl with smokeless powder. It ha an initial velocity of 2000 feet, against 1300 lor thl old gun. This, tlis initiated say, means Of the effects of the new tariff on the Can adian lumber trade and of their desire to further benefit by its provisions the Pacific Builder has the following to say : It appears that the Canadian lumbermen, w hile jub ilant over the prospects of subjugating American markets, and of supplying them with their fir lumber for building improve mei.ts, are yet unsatisfied. Fir lumber is now free of tariff duty entering into this country. But through some benignant providence cedar escaped the fate of fir at the hands of the late unlimited congress, In fact in the new tariff law cedar is classic lied with the high grade woods which tome under the schedule of luxuries. This will effectually shut out competition from across the border In the cedar business. Tbe Can adian manufacturers realize this fact fully and have already forwarded a petition to their government at Ottawa praying it to solicit congress to remove the duty on cedar on the ground that cedar is no more of a luxury on this coast than pine in the East. In other words tbe Canadian manufacturer will endeavor to convince our government that their ceilar lumber is an absolute nec assity to Americans Just like wool, or salt, or coal. But of course tbey do not mean it. Humurous fellows, those Canadians clever, bright and humorous albeit their jokes on the lumber situation are not now considered particularly "funny." The editor of the Newberg Graphic bas evidently bad some fellow call and give him a few friendly pointers on bow to run bis paper and having a fellow feeling for tbat much-advised individual, tbe former gets off tbe following in his defense: Nearly all our exchanges are going into bog raising.

In 1888 Louisiana was the sixth stale from the bottom of the list In the matter of illit eracy; in 1800 it achieved Ihe sad distinc tion of falling to tbe very bottom. The dis creditable fact is brought out by tbe Times Democrat of New Orleans, tbat this is not due to any retrogression or the Negroes of that state, but solely to the whites. In 1880 18.4 per cent, of the white adult population were nnahle to read and write; iiil8!0the percent, had risen to 20.1. During this time the white illiterate adults bad increased from 58.051 to 80.013. Making allowance lor deaths, over 40,000 white children grew up to manhood and womanhood without the benefit of education: and yet Louisiana had imagined that If Its schools for Negroes were poor its schools for whites were decent. Meanwhile, the Negroes, with their poorer schools, have made a small per centageof gain, and the loss is entirely among the whites. Of tbe great increase in the export of ail ver trom this country during the past year the Independent ol New York has the fol lowing to say: It is an exceedingly inter esting fact that the exports of American ail ver are large and rapidly increasing. Dur ing the first half ofl8!M our shipments were as large as the entire calendar year of 1892, and for the first eight months of 18IM about double that for 1801, The exports of do mestic silver for the first eight months of 1894 were 139,009,087. It would be remark able and at the same time very agreeable if we could market our surplus silver to our foreign friends. Convenient of Access and Pleasantly Located.
