The indication now are good that Clack amas county will have the greatest yield of fruit 1'iis season of any ever known in ita hinory. Tbe dry weather of last fall riined the wood of the limbs In splen did hai?. so that the wood and fruit bads were rf-ctly matured, and the present winter has been an ideal one for tbe fruit jrmaer. The cool weather of the present rwil money raised hv lire county on tire property aithiti the city limits, and there being a question as to lire rich! of the city to tire fund, a suit was bronchi in the cir cuit court. The point raised by Pislrlct Attorney Harrvlt and Mr. Hrowtrell, the attorneys for the county, was that this sec tion of the charter is unconstitutional. Jndp MoPride, in a lengthy written opin ion, sustained this point, ile-iding that this section of the charter is unconstitutional, for the reason that it is a local law and un dertakes to control funds raised under the general laws of the state. Tbe decision now gives the county the entire control ol the road fund. Tut success of the new public loan is un exampled. The amount tendered was nearly sii times the amount aked for, and the rate at which successful bidders will be supplied is a trifle over HO.tV per cent for a 4 per cent thirty-year bond. Had it been generally known that there would have been such a rush for th bonds the bids would have been higi.er, so antious were many small Investors to secur some of the bonds. This settles the question of having to go to a foreign country to find a market for our bonds, and hereafter when the gov ernment falls into hard lines and is in ned Maciims AND -n Repairer. . the market that poultry breeders have been trying to bring about. That a great Injus tice, is done, ami a loss sustained by tire per son who raises a large, llrst class fowl, in ap parent to any one who Is at all fiitnlllnr with our markets. On this subject the Oregon 1'onltry Journal, ol Salem, has the following ! GunS, Sewing1 Mfldl intS, say: The recent shipments of live iHiullry WHITE COLLAR LINE. Sis. Telephone and Bailey Galzert.

This system of buying will bring the large poultry to the car; no other will. It strikes us the proper system to adopt li to buy by the pound. Then the poultry raisers will know they are getting value received in all sales, whether the fowls b large or small. A (Kiniid price can be plated on th differ ent grades of fowls, good, poor, old, young, etc. With this system there is no dece tion, and the poultry people will raise th heavy-weight fowls. some syndicate for help. The cuuntry would have been several million dollar J ahead if President Cleveland hail given the business people chance to purchase his j first bond issues instead of allowing the gov ernment to be robbed by the New York and London bankers' syndicate. GnviKXoa McKiKLii's stand for law and order has again been vindicated. I-ast sum mer a mob attempted to take a man from the county jail in Fayette county. Ohio, and on appeal ol tbe sheriff (ior. McKinley ordered out a company of the state militia, and on the mob persisting in their attack on the jail the soldiers tired and one or th mob was killed. The grand jury of tbe countv indicted Col. Coit, the commander i:tatIUhetl In carload lots from hngene and Hulein, has demonstrated one fact, and that Is, the busl tress is a success, and can, and will be car ried on in the futur as one of our perma nent Industrie. There is on fundamental Shop Oil St'VOIltll St., Hear !t'vt principle that the buyers will have to look to closely, and that is, in encouraging the IHiullry producer of this section to raise larger fowls, they must, to induce thi'iii to do so. pay the actual difference between a large fow l and a small one. For instance say a chicken weighing five pound! is what the Frisco market demands. The price on this Mb towl should tie about double thai of the on weighing 2'tJ pounds. The add lug of fifty or seventy -live cents per doien to the difference in the two weights will not encourage the poultry raisers to raise large fowls. If a person brings to the car a doien chickens weighing 2Vj Hiiindf each, pay for Hie lb. fowl. If another brings to Hie 1 ' .-." f fl t I r- 1 N.

The yield ol prunes all! be fully double that of ny p'evious year, there being thousands of join g trees that are just coming into a full bearing condition. Of the quality of our I prunes there is no question, they not I being excelled by any other prune el-! tl.er of American or foreign growth; audi there seldom being even a partial failure in I their vield, this crop will soon be one of I the charge. The better juJgn.ci.t of the people asserted itself with the result that he governor and the colonel were upheld in their efforts to maintain the dignity of the law. If there were more governors like McKinley mobs and lynch law would soon be things of the past in tbe United States. The meeting of the populists county cen tral committee last Saturday was in marked contrast to that of tbe republicans held a short time since, in that its session was se cret, while the republicans, as is their cus tom, had open doors and any who wished could witress their transaction.

Even though there was no fear of disease germ decency and cleanliness should prompt the enforcement ot such a law. Tbe populists hot have ',',1 well organized clubs in this county, and claim a voting atre:igth of 2,000 voters not counting in doubtlul ones. They expect to have several more clubs organized before the close of! this month and are preparing to put up the airunge-t fiitht they have yet made for con trol of Clackamas county. The republican ) who thinks that his party is going to have a I walk-over this election will find himself very much mistaken when the ballots are I counted. While it is definitely known that ! the p-ipulista have fallen otF in some of the) precincts, yet it is apparent that they have gained in others, so that it is probable that their party strength is as great now as it was two years ago, and if the republicans are lo bold their majority they will have to drop their lukewarninesg and party dis cords and dissensions and put up a ticket of clean, nprigbt men on whom all voters who want an honest and economical administra tion of affairs can unite. Unless this is done we shall witness a repetition in Clack amas county of Kansas, and ot Columbia nd Coos counties in this state where popu list county officers betrayed their trusts, nd by extravagancies and defalcations taught the taxpayers the folly and danger of trusting the affairs ofthe county in their hands. Tcesdat the Senate confirmed the ap pointment of Judge Wm. Galloway, of Mc Minnville, to be receiver of the land office in this city, to succeed Hon. Feter Paijuet whose term will loon expire. The demo crats cou'd not have made a better selection, 11 r. Galloway being one of the most capa ble of all the aspirants for the office. A man of strict integrity and easy of approach, tie will doubtless make an officer satisfac tory to the people. Mr. Paa.net has fulfilled ,lhe manifold duties pertaining to the re ceiver's office in an efficient manner and kept his books in such perfect shape as to be commended by the Inspector of the gen eral land office with being among the best of all tbe officers in tbe United States. In his transactions with the patrons uf the office Mr. Paquet has always been courteous and obliging. None were slighted or rre? lected.

Now with the rigorous state laws in force in nearly all the states of the L'liion it begins to look as though this bar barous and brutal sport would soon be stamped out ol the country. The supreme court of the United States lia decided that a worn or abraded silver coin " is legal tender as long as it bears the semblance of a ce-in." The decision affirms a judgment for $.'115 damages against a street car company for rejecting a slick dime and ejecting the party ottering it.
