With the nomination of McKinley the
people of (lie land fool that the hour of de

represents tho highest type of American
manhood. Asaciliicn lie stands lor w hat

Sanitation turned into its treasury UtiT.OO
as fees received from these new members.
When it is noted that this larpe sum was
paid In largely by boys and young men, and
not by the wealthy men of the town, It can
be seen that Oregon City is not feeling the
pressure of bard times like so many ot the
towns on this Coast. The great pay roll
that our factories give Oregon City place
it far ahead of any town that lias only a
country trade to depend on With the re
turn of good times another year this place
will witness a boom far greater than it has
ever before had and one that will make it
among the leading manufacturing cities of
the country.
The Wilhoit stage is again on the route

The l'ortland Welcome makes the follow

convention, to be held In Chicago: "If
the democrats, assembled in convention a!
Chicago, are determined to nominate a Iree
silver candidate, there is plenty of good
democratic material to choose from, with
out going over to the little Teller faction ol
republicans, or becoming a tail for the pop

far more voters than adhere to any parly
except the republican; often it outvotes the
republicans: hence it there is to be a lusion,

THAT FRANCHISE.
The granting of a franchise to the Clacka-mas-McIrwin
Boom Company has become a
thing of reality. The matter has provoked
considerable comment pro and con, but the
court considered that the people, living
long the Clackamas w ho own timber, were
the parties directly concerned. On Tuesday
the court made its final order condemning
the Clackamas river for commercial pur
poses, and granting a ten years franchise to
the boom company. The court did the
proper thing in limiting the time of the
lease to ten years Mr. Cross, the most di
rectly interested remonstrator, has the priv
ilege of concessions that protect his interests
to a considerable extent .
In making the order the court considered
the benefits that would accrue to settlers
long the Clackamas, by enabling them to
market their limber. In the terms of the
lease the court has thrown around every
safeguard to protect the interests ol the
people directly concerned, and the company
is required to expend a certain amount the
first year in improving the river. If the
terms of the lease are rigidly enforced by
the countv court, it will prove of great ad
vantage to the settlers of the Clackamas re
gion, in enabling them to market their tim
ber, as they are promised transportation
without toll for stone, wood and bolts. Oth
erwise, if the terms of the lease are not rigidly
enforced the boom company have the
power to oppress the people. It is hoped
however, that the franchise w ill have the re
stilt of meeting the expectations ol the peo
pie who have urgently requested it, as they
are in urgent need of a market for their
timber. "
The growth of the Young Men's Christian
Association in Oregon City has been almost
phenomenal. Only a little over three
months has elapsed since the association
was organized, and it now has a member
ship of nearly 400. At the beginning its
most enthusiastic advocates did not dream
of such a rapid growth. Under the man
agement of Secretary Johnson it has pros
pered beyond expectation, but its good
work 'Wfonly begun, lrj members must
be brought to realize that they must take
an intereAj" its work, and appreciate its
advantages; rtjey mns assist in making its
pleasant home" for the young men ot Ore
gon City where they can spend their spare
hoars. Of course a new building is one of
the urgent necessities, and will be erected.
The Association is one of the grandest in
stitutions for bettering the condition of
young men ever organized in Oregon City:
it fills a long desired want In providing a
cheerful place for young men Bnd boys to
spsnd their evenings. The lack of such a
place has resulted in leading many young
men to ruin. Nine-tenths of the young men
who fall into dissipated hahi do not do so
from choice; it is the result of association
and a lack of suitable places of recreation
and amusement.
is certain, that the men who made a regular
business of holding up the stage last year
did not retire with a competency. It came
to be a regular every day matter, to be ex
pected, and the passengers carried very lit
tle money with them. If the robbers con
clude to resume business this summer, they
should consider that they run considerable
risk of getting caught, and besides some
passenger might tire a bullet at them for a
change The profits in the business are
small, and attended with conilerable risk.
Anext the recent convention, it is inter
esting to note that six out of e'even republi
can presidential nominations have been by
a single ballot. The record is as follows:
First, l.vi, Philadelphia, one ballot, Fre
mont; second, lsW, Chicago, four ballots,
Lincoln; third, IStU, Baltimore, one ballot,
Lincoln; fourth, lsw, Chicago, one ballot,

sixth, I "7S. Cincinnati, seven ballots,

six ballots, Garfield; eighth, im, Chicago,
four ballots, Blaine; ninth, IMS, Chicago,
eight ballots, Harrison; tenth, ISC', Minne

A few weeks ago the Enterprise urged
the importance of keeping the streets in a
more cleanly condition. Main street pre
sented a most untidy appearance, and gave
visitors anything but favorable Impressions
of the city which receives more visitors than
any citizen in Oregon, except Portland.
The street committee is lo be compli
mented, and especially Street Commissioner
Babcock on the improved order of things
Under the direction of Commissioner Bab
cock Main street is constantly kept free ol
superfluous rubbish a matter lor which the
public truly feels thankful.
The Sunday Welcoi.ie in commenting on
the availability of certain timber for presi
dential candidates before the Chicago
convention, as none of the big men
will take it, suggests General Kilfenther for
that place. General Kilfeather is well
known in Oregon City, where he had the
contract for building the foundation of the
Willamette block. Mr. Kilfeather would
no doubt be acceptable to the Clackamas
county democracy.

that will put a stop to borrowing money in

government to pay as It goes, and at the
same time protect our own people This is
the sort of doclrine the Mckinley ticket
stands upon. It is for the people to decide
whether they will return to the tried and
true policy which has made I he nalion pros

On of the most galling results of the
democratic tarill is the fact that last year
China shipped us a'l.lOn.OtO pounds of wool
free of duty. If that money which went lo
pay for Chinese labor on the plains ot China
could have been equally divided among the
voting population of Oregon, it would have
been nearly forty dollars to each. And that
is only the money we send to China lor
wool out ot a total of over thirty millions
to oilier countries. Some Oregun farmers
will still continue to vote to enrich China
and such countries, in order that they may
get free silver legislation which enriches only
the mine owner. A vole for Mckinley anil
Ilohart next November means keeping our
money at home by paying our farmers for
wool, etc., instead of enriching China and
other foreign countries. Independence

REPLY To MR. CUKKLS.
Several new improvements in and
around Oregon City will become a matter ol
reality before many days. Lower Seventh
street is to be graveled, and It is not improb
able, but that a sewerage system will be es
tablished on the hill. Information conies
too, from a reliable source, that the finish
ing touches to the new electric station will
be pushed to completion this year.

fiPIBIT OF THE 1'KE.SS.
William McKinley is In great demand
at this time as a Fourth of July orator.
Even the Chautauqua assembly would not
be averse to securing him as one of their
speakers at Gladstone park. It is but just
that a man who has been designated by the
republican party as the proper person to ad
minister the allairs of the country in a n ay
that would redound to the prosperity of the
people, should be in demand on a great na
tal day like Fourth of July Since
the principles of the McKinley bill have
been repealed .the people of the land have
The sharp and businesslike organization
of the new republican national committee
is in refreshing contrast with the false starts,
and the confusion in the outset, in the last
one. Mr. Mark Hanna has been unani
mously chosen as chairman; he has ao
cepted, and has entered upon his duties.
The contempt which the American peo-
have lor Teller, Cannon t Co , whose dra
matic bolt at the 8t. Ixiuis convention
caused the sensation, is the same felt by
Oregonians for Judge Xortrup & Co. who
bolted here last spring. There Is only this
difference: Teller had the larger audience.
Hillshoro Independent.
It will be no surprise to those who know
either Governor McKinley or Mark Hanna
to find the latter able to say that his chief
assumes the candidacy of Is is party abso
lutely Iree Irom promise or obligation of
any sort except to his party and the coun
try. We believe that he will enter the
White House the same w ay.
Those who have been solicitous about
McKinley's position on the money question
will find it well stated in one of his recent
speeches to a congratulating delegation
" My countrymen," he said, " there is an
other thing the people are determined upon,
and that is that the work of full days roust
be paid for in full dollars "St Louis
Globe-Democrat.
He is peculiarly the right man for the
place. His selection means that this is to
be a campaign of the people lor the candi

K.v.i.r. Cheek, June '.'It. To the Eiutok:
Please allow me space to reply to an attack
on me in your paper last week This attack
was made by one Geo. J, Currin, of Cnrrins
ville, and was altogether unwarranted and
uncalled for In the letter referred to I did
not try to advise the county court what to
do in the matter, and it seems to me that
any one with half an eye could see that that
was not the intention of the writer of the
article. This stab was made for the sole in
tent and purpose of belittling me in the es
limation of persons who might read it,
wtiether tuey hail more than one eye or
not.
As to the evils I pointed out that migh
come to pass in the event the charter was
granted : it is still well enough to watch
and see that they are not carried into ellect
by the company " Eternal vigilance
the price of liberty," and it will apply to
this case as well as any other, Geo J. Cur
rin to the contrary notwithstanding.
I pointed out a few things so that people
might have a better chance to study the
matter over; so that if they had not seen
them before they might be made aware
whither they were dnltlng in this matter
In the matter of wearing out the seat of
my pants writing couimiinicalions to the
Herald being the only perceptible thing I
du, I will simply say that I make my living
by as honest toil as ever Currin did, and
posbibly more so. It Is hardly probable
that a man who will run for an otlice and
not see it till he is past it, would have sulli
cient range of vision to see the seat of I
man's panls, especially if he happened to
be more than ten feet away.
In the matter of political digs referred to,
I have never made an assertion in my com
miinications but they were backed up by
facts and could be proven.
One thing certain, I do not laud the gran
deur of the single gold standard and wear i
Cleveland badge on the seat ol my pants at
the same time. I never left my party to
join another for the sake of getting an olllce.
If I were sent to the legislature I would not
change my vote on any measure after I had
once voted in the interest of the people, and
vole against Iheui for the simple promise of
support in another campaign. The man
must think I know enough to get in out of
the rain, or he would not make his closing
remarks for others to take his advice and
consult me before going ahead in matters
similar to this.
Yours, respectfully, F. H. Kino.
