Now that the panic is practically over ami men are begin ning to look about torlnvestmentaonce more makes it a good time for showing what Ore gon City lias to oiler in the manufacturing as well as the real estate line. The pamphlet, the copy for which is now prepared, will live in a clear and concise manner what our i city and the county hare to otter the home- seeker and Investor. No false coloring or exaggeration will be allowed, the Intention being to give a truthful statement of the farts as they exist. Pome twenty-five handsome engravings will grace the pages of the pamphlet and will give strangers a clear idea as to what this city and the falls look like. The edition of the pamphlet is to be 5,000, though the board bones to raise funds sufficient to make it 10,0 H for it will take that number to make a thorough dis tribution in the East. Those who have as yet made no contribution to the fund should not delay longer but give the board their substantial belp and thus do their part to advance the Interests and prosperity of Ore gon City and at the same time aid in build ing up their own bminCM. niilon and encouragement ant entirely fur gotten." Train and stage robberies are becoming alarmingly frequent, and the Grant's l'tiss Courier sums up the situation In this style: "Nearly all the train ami stage robberies ap pear to be perpetrated by ex convicts. The young hoodlum is sent to the 'pen' upon his Ural conviction for felony and then he mixes with those who have graduated In the business of outlawry. It would thus seem that those Institutions meant lor pun ishment and reform are merely abiding places for stlniiilatingnirthercriiiilnal effort. When the career of permanency Is once stumped iikii the outlaw be should be re strained from liberty altogether. The prac tice of sending Mm up for a few years to be fed and clothed and graduated In crime should be discontinued. The final closing of the gates upon the desperado might not be called mercy toward him, but the law abiding public stand in need of mercy Just CHOP PROSPECTS. The crop prospects for Clackamas county have never been better and seldom as good as they are this year. Wheat, both fall and spring, is coming on tine, and the acreage ia up to about the average, while other kinds of grain look equally as well. The splendid rains of late bave insured a bay crop above the average and made the pas tures very rich in feed. 1 he yield of pota toes promises to be the largest ever known in the county. The fair prices realized on the last crop and the unusually favorable weather for planting this spring have stim ulated our farmers to greatlv increase their acreage. The hops hare grown like Jonah's gourd this siriue, and the lice as yet bave not put in their apiiearance. If they do the grow era are getting so expert in the use of sprays that they can be easily held in check. With the excellent outlook for the old yards, and the large number of new yards planted two years ago now coming to their prime, it is exected that the yield will be fully one fourth larger than heretofore. Clackamas county now ranks as one of the great hop producing districts of the Coast, and this crop brings in thousands of dollars each year to our farmers. The fruit growers have every reason to be pro id of their prospects for this season. Strawberries are now ripening in fine shape and the yield and the quality of the berries promise to be all that could be asked. From the best information obtainable the yield is expected to exceed thirty tons for the eunty. Strawberry growing has lately become one of the industries of this county and with the nearness of the Oregon City and Portland markets and the easeof reach ing the Astoria and Sound markets it will soon become one of the leading sources of profit to our fruitgrowers. Other small fruits areas promising as the strawberries, and the larger fruits indicate a yield above the aver age. The apple crop in some parts of the county is seriously threatened by the caterpillar and other insects, and spraying has to re sorted to to save the crop. The prune crop will be the largest ever produced in the county, being more than double of any former year. This great increase is owing to so many young orchards coming into bearing this year. Altogether the farmers of Clackamas county are highly favored this year in the crop prospects, though it is nothing out ofi the usual line, as a total failure even in any one commodity has never been known. If they could realize the prices had prior to the last two years they would feel that farm ing as an occupation was the peer of the country. The outlook even now is not so discouraging. There are good indications that prices are to be better before the close of the year, and the farmer that keeps up bis courage and along with it his fences and his acreage of crops will yet be able to real ize a good return for his labor. It is probable that Oregon City will have no celebration of the Fourth this year, the unusual number of other gatherings to be held in this city absorbing all the Interest of our people as well as their spare money to meet the expenses to be incurred In carry ing them on. With the State Grange to meet here next week, and the state encamp ment of the Grand Army of the Republic, Women's Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans and Utiles' Aid Society to be held here in June, and the meeting in July of the Will amette Valley Chautauqua Association, Oregon City will have little time to arrange for or to hold a celebration on the Fourth of July. Preparations are being made in nearly all of the principal towns and neigh borhoods of the county for holding celebra tions, and as Oregon City celebrations have always been well attended by the country people it would only be fair that the people of Oregon City return the compliment. Theri was a strange, funeral in the ever glades of Florida the other day. and it was to gratify the peculiar whims of a very pe culiar young woman, who departed hence to the Beautiful Beyond at the untimely age of O. This young lady was the origin ator and organizer of a woman's club, the cardinal tenet of which was that each mem ber should ask no man to do anything for her that she could do herself. While on her deathbed she firmly impressed the rules of the club on her associates, and when the messenger came and all that was mortal passed away, the members laid her out and assumed the functions of the undertaker. Dressed in pure white, four ol them acted as pallbearers, carrying the coffin to the hearse, thence to the grare, into which they lowered it, and with spades filled the grave with earth. Tan supreme court has decided that all officers and men in the army and navy, as well as those in the militia while in the service of the United States, are at all times subject to military law, and that court-martial sentences cannot be set aside or reviewed by civil tribunals on writs of habeas corpus. That is to say, when a man enters the army or navy he ceases to be a citizerl in the sense of hav ing the right of appeal to the civil courts, and is bound to submit to the military code under all circumstances. Tin la becoming virtually an American product, and the Seattle I'ost-intelllgencer says: "It may be some satisfaction to the Americans to be informed of the fact that there is one industry in the world they have succeeded in knocking Oreat Britain out of, and that is tin. In short, she can't peddle tin with the United States. In the days of the Phoenicians the tin mines of Cornwall were famous, and the metal was even mined in prehistoric times, evidences of this fact being known. One by one the mines bave been compelled to clone down, by reason of coniietiton Iroin America mainly, and it Is only a question of a short time when they will be abandoned? They have a wonderful history, running down the centuries, and have been a school of mining to more men than any others in the world. There is scarcely a mining camp or district in the world today that is not represented by a Cornish miner from the mines ol Cornwall. A camp without one would be a curiosity, and would be hoodooed without ceremony." Some of the Portland police are evidently determined to make extra pay, notwith standing the restrictions of the police com missioners. The Portland Chronicle tells of one of the ways in which It Is done: "The city police have a new way of increasing their salaries. Tbev make themselves solid with a druggist, until they get him to give them a drink of whisky, then they inform against him and receive :tn as a reward for their efficiency and watchfulness. Truly a great scheme I" John Ilasim, the Wallowa county mur derer, has been held to answer without bail, says the Chieftain. The man seems to have entertained the idea that as Fleming nason his land he had a right to kill him and that the law would sustain him in so doing. He has been talking freely of the allair, and his own story puts bim in so unenviable light. Fleming was on horseback and uuur d, and Busim did notslioot him in a moment of passion, as he wetit half a mile for his shotgun after the altercation, and, returning, fired Un his victim In cold blood. Ilusini does not seem to realize at all the enormity of his offense. So far he has made no move toward securing counsel.

Russia, having combined aith several other powers to keep Japan from retaining possession of any part ol Manchuria or Cores, will find the precedent troublesome when the Czar undertakes to secure a better harbor for the terminus of his SOOO-mile railroad. What Japan may not keep alter fighting for it will hardly be allowed to pass into Russia's bands either peaceably or foro bly. Tub present indications are that the an nnal June rise in the Columbia will be the smallest known for years. As the flood of last year was the highest ever known to white men, an extreme low water for this year will be acceptable lo the bottom farm ers along the Columbia and lower Willam ette rivers, as it will allow them to recover from the losses suntained last season. The muchly discussed income tax is no more. It has received a large Bhare of pub lic attention since the beginning of the first regular session of the 03d congress, and is now a thing of tbe past after twice having a hearing before the United States supreme onrt. It received its death stroke Monday, The supreme court decides that such a tax is direct and is therefore unconstitutional There were four dissenting opinions deliv red in these cases by Justices Harlan Brown, Jackson and White, showing that the court has stood five to four against the law. Inasmuch as one of these dissenting opinions was handed down by Justice Jack. son, and as he was absent at the first hear ing, when the court was divided evenly on tbe question of sustaining the law on all points, except those as to the tax on in cornea from rents and bonds, it follows that one of the members of the court who at first pronounced for the law, except on these points, changed his attitude after the second argument. It is believed that Justice Shi ras is the justice who changed his views on these points. Thi board of trade committee having in baud tbe raising of the funds necessary to get out the pamphlet that the board 'will shortly issue, is having very good success in tbe work. While tbe prevailing hard times render the raising of cash something of a task, yet the business men and property SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. For several years cattle have been a drug on the market, but just now there is an ur gent demand for heel cattle, and buyers throughout the Willamette are reaping a good profit on purchases, as the lollowing from the Pendleton Tribune indicates: "J. C. Lonergan, representing a .Southern Idaho cattle company, was in the city again last night, having completed a purchase of 1500 head of steers at Eugene. The price, he stated, at the time he bought wag consider- bly lower than that for which cattle have been held in Eastern Oregon. Slock is raised In large numbers in the Willamette valley, and a good proportion of it will be shipped East from there this spring. Tbe beef cattle around this section, Mr. loner gan states, are pretty well shipped out. His stock will be moved in about the Montana range, from where heestiiuates 400,000catlle will be bought in the fall for the Eastern market. This will exceed any previous oat put for a single year, but depends entirely upon the continued high price of beef. Kchool children and many others are ask ed to contribute toward the purchase of i costly memento to the battleship, Oregon The war department should be proud that Oregon has consented to allow her name to be used in this connection, without levying tribute so that our people will have to pay dearly for the honor. The Troutdale Chanr pion thus pointedly discusses the matter "We fail to see where the patriotism comes in for the state to subscribe the sum of $10,- 000 for tbe officers of the battleship Oregon to eat their meals from an elaborate silver dinner service. Let us by all means be proud of our state, yet we think tbe pro moters of this undertaking are murdering patriotism when they make such an appeal for self and state aggrandizement when so Baker, F 1 Barton, Jas Bartnik, John Brown, Walter Clarke, J H Constable, 8 Oiirord, A A Knight, G A Lots, Mr Moore James BECKER'S FINE MILLINERY and HAIR GOODS WOMKN 8 I, I ST.
