To County Treasurer Shade is due the
credit of devising a new scheme whereby
the work ot his oflice is greatly simplified
and the danger obviated of getting his cash
accounts confused. On coming into the
treasurer's oflice he found no less than a
doxen different funds lo account for, besides
the cash held by him for the various school
districts and incorporated towns within the
county, whose taxes pass through his
hands. This multitude or funds was as a
nightmare to our worthy populist treasurer,
for with but one till in the safe in which lo
keep his cash, the money belonging to the
various funds was inextricably mixed and
when a person came into his oflice to learn
as to the amount of cash there was in a
certain school district, road or town fund
the old gentleman had no end of trouble
and delay in giving an answer. But Treas
urer 8liade was equal to the occasion and
surmounted his difficulties without em
ploying the cumbrous and intricate meth
ods of keeping a set of books as
employed by banters and others who
bare large sums of money to handle for he
proceeded to procure a supply ol canrass
bags and placed within each the cash of the
fund to which he had assigned it, and
when a school clerk came in and desired to
know how much money there' was to the
credit of his district's acconnt he had
but to bring forth the sack and emptying
its contents on tlie counter, cqunt the cash
and tell in a moment just bow much there
was coming to the district. As a result of
the inventive genius of oor talented popu
list treasurer, the expensive set of books
which the county bas furnished his office is
a waste of money, and there is little donbt
but that when Mr. Shade conies up for re
election the taxpayers of Clackamas county
-will remember him for bis "economy" and
"efficiency" when they come to cast their
Totes.
The board of directors of the Willamette
Valley Chautauqua Association are having
the most gratifying success in securing tal
ent for the forth-coming assembly. The
latest celebrity that they have been able to
add to their list is William J. Bryan. Mr.
Bryan is conceded by men of all parties to
be one of the greatest orators in this coun
try and having been a presidential candi
date of one of the great political parties, his
presence will be the means of drawing one
of the greatest crowds ever on the Chautan.
qua grounds. As Mr. Bryan speaks at the
California and Southern Oregon Chautau
qua on his way to tlita city, the only dale
that could be arranged for was Monday,
July 12, the day before the assembly for
mally opens, thus making the assembly
practically of thirteen days duration. The
address will . be upon "Bimetalism," the
only subject upon which Mr, Bryan is
peaking in his lecture course this summer.
Mr. Bryan's address may arouse the dis
pleasure of some over zealous republican,
but no broadminded American will criticize
the Chautauqua management in having
Mr. Bryan at the assembly for the subject
upon which he is to speak is yet one of the
great questions before the world and to hear
both sides is the only possible way for a
person to fairly judge of an issue. The
Chautauqua management expect to secure
Col. John P. Irish of California as another
star for the assembly. Col. Irish is one of
the most brilliant orators fn the United
States and was one of the most successful
campaigners for Mr. McKinley in the late
campaign. They have every reason to ex
pect to secure several other of the noted
men of the United Slates to add to their
list of great speakers, making the talent of
jfjie next assembly the best yet had on their
platform.
The management of the state fair, among
other premiums, will award four prizes to
the four counties mnking the best county
exhibit at tbe fair held this fall, the first
premium to be $150, tbe second $100, the
third $75 and the fourth ?50. The Enter
prise will announce it now, so that other
counties who may have their eye on the
first prize need not build up their hopes to
meet with sure disappointment, for Clacka
mas county has entered the list and will
secure tbe $150 premium or know the rea
son why. No county in the state can make
ao diversified and complete an exhibit as

give a willing help to the undertaking.
Tn tKK appears to be fair prospects ol a
settlement being brought about between
Oregon City and the Fast 8ide lUilway in
regard to the street assessment due the city
by the railway company. Receiver Joseph
Simon and President Geo. A. Steel were in
Oregon City Tuesday evening and ha I a
conference with Mayor Caulield and the
city council. While no definite understand
ing was come to, vet as result of the meet
ing a settlement mav result of this long
standing difficulty. It will be far better for
both the city and the company if this mat
ter can be amicably adjusted for litigation
is an expensive way in which to settle ililti
culties, besides that the growth of Oregon
City will be hampered as also the in
terests of the railway jeopardized,
jf harmony and good feeling is not
maintained between Oregon City and the
East Side Railway Company, as well as with
all other transportation lines running into
this citr.
Hon. W. S. U'Kt.i. late member of the
Simon annex to the Oregon legislature, was
in Oregon City Monday to see if there was
anything left of his endorsement boom. As
his May was brief, it was evident that his
investightion was not at all satisfactory and
that instead of being welcomed with laud
acclaim by the entire populist fraternity as
in the halcyon days of yon "before be was
inveigled into that accursed hold-up by that
scheming little Jew of Portland,'1 he only
found a few faithful friends to do him
honor. It is sad indeed when a man who
bas every element (in his own estimation)
in hint to make a great man, bas his career
so suddenly and so cruelly cut off. lint
then the love of "revenue" has been a se
rious detriment to the rise of many another
bright man.
The populists of Oregon have truly fallen
into bard lines of late. In the campaign
of last June they were fused with the free-
silver republicans and in January Chairman
Youngof their state central committee and
our Mr. U'Ren, he of sainted hold up mem
ory, fused them with the gold republicans
in tbe mould furnished by Mr. Simon, and
now a meeting is to be held at Albany on
June 2 at which what is left of the party
wili be put up at auction, with the silver
republican leaders and Simon-Corbett
representatives as the chief bidders. Truly
the decline and fall of Ibe populist party
bas been both rapid and complete, but It is
what was expected of a party whose leaders
are political adventurers and unscrupulous
demagogues.
Recent statistics show that in the states
of Iowa and Minnesota for every two mort
gages placed on farm property in those
states three mortgages have been paid off,
thus showing that the farmers of that sec
tion are generally getting out of debt.
Diversified farming and an economical care
of their stock and tools is the chief factor in
this change of their financial condition.
Here in Oregon the records show that there
are less mortgages filed than canceled and
with the complete diversification of on
farm products and the profitable market
that has already commenced to come to ou
farmers tbe farm mortgage will soon be
thing of the past and the cry of hard times
will no longer be heard.
The Washington state board of education
has raised the standard of teachers' exam!
nations so that 20 per cent of the certificate
holders under the present system will be
cut out. The motive of the board is to raise
tbe standard of teachers, for they found that
there were two teachers for each school in
the state and they determined to weed out
the poor ones and only allow the best quali.
fied to teach, hereafter. A raise in the stand
ard of the qualifications for Oregon teachers
would not be amiss for this state bas far too
many incompetent teachers whose onlv
means of securing a school is to underbid
their fellow teachers and who are never able
to retain a school for more than one term
It is said that Mr. Simon is secretly work
ing to bring about a consolidation of tbe
populists and the silver forces of the state
and will do what he can to make tbe Albany
meeting a success. His success in handling
the populists and silver members of the
late legislature was so gratifying that he
wants as many of them in the next legisla
ture as possible for tbey make fine cattle to
work in his senatorial team. At "$H0" a
bead they were a cheap team to keep up.

In a recent editorial in the Oregonian on
how manufactures help to build up a state,

exclaim: " New warehouses are being

progress and happiness mav be found at
Oregon City, whose manufacturing enter
prises have built It up from r.li.1 Inhabit

and an increase of wealth even greater. It
is a civic duty and privilege to render all

Oregon City has come fo be the chiefs!
traction to all tourists visiting this section
our great falls and the factories furnishing
them a pleasing diversion from the same
ness which most of the other towns of this
coast present. Of our attractions the Port
lano: Chronicle nas the following to say:
The California Press Association, em
bracing seventy members and their lamilies,
will reach this city early In June, on their
way to the Sound. This is one of the finest
organizations on the coast and our citizens
should make their stay of forty-eight hours
in Portland, one of the pleasantest events
of their trip. A public meeting should be
called and active measures taken to show
them Portland in her summer glory. One
of the grandest points of interest would be
the Portland General Klectric Co. 'a plant
at Oregon City, the paper and pulp mills,
and tbe woolen mills. This is chance of
life time to show Califoruiaus what Oregon
bas and what she can do.
ine t ortianu inmine gives the following
timely advice as to the need of a systematic
advertising of the advantages of this state
that we may secure tbe immigration that
will soon start westward:
ith the hope of returning prosperity
each city in ttie slate of Oregon should take
steps to advertise among the farmers of the
Eastern and Middle states the advantages
of our farming districts.
Tbe cities can not become pronperoua In
dustrial centers without a constituency of
well-to-do farmers to back them up, A city
which lives upon itself, so to speak, with its
trade confined to its own citizens, will soon
eat tip its own substance and die of insuffi
cient nourishment. There should be a com
mon interest between the cities and the
country districts as one cannot be prosper
ous without the other.
Now is the time to attract a farming op
ulation to this state. Uml has fallen from
itssteculative to its true farming value,
and nowhere in this country can a more
favored section be found than we have to
oirer the fanner of tbe West, who is tired of
drouth and cyclone, blizzards ami grass
bopiiers.

There lias been a school fund mortgage
of $5000 on the south half of Gladstone
for some years, and on account of the
intervening hard times lias greatly hin
dered the development of the property
and haa been a source of more or less
uneasness to the people who have
bought and built homes in thia Uvorite
suburb. The mortgage was not large
and in do wise compared with the value
of the property, still a great many were
afraid to take any chances whatsoever
and no one could rightly blame them for
exercinini great prudence. It is with
more than special satisfaction that the
company announces the consumation of
an arrangement with the school board
wnereDV an tt.e tots ami acre tracts in
Gladstone heretofore sold by deed have
been absolutely released from the opera
tim of this mortgage and the title is thus
made perfect in these people.
Perhaps a matter of equal importance
is that the arrangement also includes
the release of all bonded lots and tracts
and property included in subsequent
sales when final payments ate made.
The company is now able to announce
that it can from this day gives clear
warranty deed free from all incumbran
ces whatever to lots and acre tracts In
Gladstone upon payment of the purchase

Electric Hitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally neetied, when the languid exhauxted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
alterative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicino has often averted long and per
haps fatal bilious feyers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti
pation and Dizziness yield to Electric
