Cor populist friends seem strangely averse
to practicing That they preach. Prior to
their coming into office tber neer missed
an opportunity to protest at the least in
fraction of the laws by republican officials,
but now that tbey are in office the most
flagrant violations are overlooked by both
populist officials and press without one
word of protest from these noble patriots.
County Treasurer Shade has recently
openly neglected to properly fulfill the
duties of his office in not making a call for
the redemption of warrants as required by
law. Some ten weeks ago the Portland
General Electric Company paid in taxes to
the amount of nearly I10.0CO and this
money with tbat of other taxes that bare
been paid in still lies in bis safe with no in
dication on his part that be intends to apply
it to the reduction of the county's
indebtedness, and be is thus causing the
taxpayer of Clackamas county to loose
each day more in interet that conld be
lopped, if be would attend to hia duty,
than bis salary amounts to.
The law is very specific on this point and
makes it incumbent upon the treasurer
whenever ha has money to the
mount of $1,500 tbat lie shall ad
vertise at once and call in warrants
to the amount thereof, and failing
to do so he lays himself liable to a fine of
not less than (500. If a republican treas
urer had held back the county's money in
bis possession as this populist official is do
ing, a big howl would have gone up from
every populist in the county, and he would
Jiare been accused of robbing the taxpayers
by Speculating with their money.
Ukdir the present system ot examination
for teachers a verv great hardship and
serious injustice Is imposed upon teachers
In tbe primary departments who have to
come before the board for a renewal of their
certificates. As it is these tescbers have to
pass an examination in half a dozen of tbe
higher branches which are of no possible
use, or benefit in the primary rooms and
never having occasion to teach these
branches it is a physical impossibility for
them to keep them fresh in their minds.
Especially is the examination in these
branches made trying on them when their
system of teaching and course of prepara
tion is so very much different from tbat of
the teachers who have charge of the grades
to which these questions pertain. As it is
there is very Utile of the present examina
tion questions that pertain to the work in
tbe primary grades, and a certificate does
not show whether the holder is competent
to teach in the lower grudes, or not. The
law ebonld be amended so as to allow of
special certificates to primary teachers, for
under tbe present method many very capa
ble pereons are oftimes debarred from
teaching by reason of tbe difficulty of keep
ing up one course of study for examination
and another for teaching.
With the biggest wbeat crop ever har
vested in Oregon, and with the crop of oats,
bay, fruit, hops and potatoes up to lias beet
average yield ever had in the state, together
with a steady rife In the price of these pro
ducts, is going to make tbe farmers the
coming moneyed men and plutocrats of
this state. It will be next in order for the
populists to give the banks and factory own
ers a rent and turn their batteries of abuse
on the farmers as the rich and arrogant
capitalists and money lenders of the
country.
Mr me! When a populist attempts to
economize doesn't be make a bungle of it,
esecially if he is holding down an office,
the salary of which is paid in fees. Just
look at our worthy populiBt coroner, be
whose dissertations upon economy were
listened to with such rapt attention by the
voters of this county who took part in the
movement for "economy" at our last
county election, in his efforts at economy.
Last Friday this economizer, by proxy,
went to Oswego to bold an inquest upon a
man and boy who had been drowned in tbe
Willamette, while in swimming, and took
from this city a lawyer, a doctor, and a
stenographer to help hold the job down. At
Oswego he called to his aid six good and
wise men to assist him in his investigation
and will) the aid of seven witnesses he
learned that it was just a plain case of awl
dental drowning, which to officially II ml
out cost the taxpayers of Clackamas county
feet for seventeen iwraoiia. ltut then our
people wanted economy and if they are not
suited with the kind they are getting, they
might consult the pre-election pledget of
our populist office holders.
Tin Oregon supreme court gave a de
cision Monday in the mandamus nulls
brought against Secretary of State Klncaid
to compel! that official to audit all accounts
against the state that are provided for by
law, Now that the running expenses of the
state are to be paid there it no particular
need for a special session of the legislature
for if the secretary ol state can pay all bills
and as we bare more laws now than our
officers can enforce, our populist patriots
can take a long rest before they will again
be called upon to exert themselves in Jump
ing over the bar ot the bouse to prevent a
session of the legislature.
SPIRIT Or TUK PRESS.
One of the best compliments to the work
of the Chautauqua movement that bat
come under the observation of lbs
editor of the Enterprise Is the following
, I - 11 V 1IIJ(
taken front the Midland
Monthly, publish
ed at Des Moines, and
which is one of
the brightest magatines in the United
States:
"The Chautauqua" long since outgrew
the point of land on Chautauqua lake
which gave it its name. It has become an
institution. It is the shrewdest device for
combinine pleasure with nroHl rt ami
recreation with instruction, that tu avr
thought out and worked. The men and
women who bave developed the Chautau
qua Idea from tbat first inspiration of
Bishop Vincent and Doctor Flood, are,
along with these worthies, publie benefac
tors the full measure of whose public ser
vice cannot now be taken without raising
tuspicion of exaggeration. The Chautau
qua idea finds its most hotpitable borne
among tbat great aggregation of thinking,
reading, bard-working, pleasure-loving
people now desiguated as the "Middle
West. It admirably fits the bent of their
minds. With no money to burn or throw
away, with a desire to know and enjoy,
and with an ambition to grow intellectually
and morally as the community life has
grown in population and material resources,
tbe masses of this inland people are wasting
no time sighing over the remoteness of
Europe and tbe East; they are sensihly
planning from year to year for summer va
cations at borne, for these summer outings
for the mind and tool.
No more inspiring and encouraging sii(ht
greets tbe eye in summer time than these
Chautauqua assemblies, thousands of peo-
people gathering in "God's first temples,"
alternating "from toil to rest" and finding
joy in every change. The Chautauqua
movement has developed once more the
good old taste for lectures, and tbe large
number of local Chautauquas and the lib
eral patronage accorded them together
enables thousands to enjoy tbe many mov
ing minds ol the time, and under circum
stances favorable to the development of the
best there is in toch minds. The healthful
stimulus of a Chautauqua outing is felt and
seen throughout tbe remaining fifty weeks
of tbe year. Under tbe influence' ot the
Chautauqua assemblies in summer and
etbical club work tbe rest of the year, the
Middle West is rapidly and grandly sup
plementing its marvelous achievements in
the material world.
The Eugene Guard does not belive in tax
ing honest men to support the state convicts
in idleness as tbe following shows:
The imprisonment of men in the Oregon
state penitentiary without employment is
inhnman and uncalled for. Some employ
ment that would not compete with free labor
should be provided. Some states use their
convicts in making roads, tbe better class
of the unfortunates in the Oregon prison
could probably be distributed among adja
cent counties and perform profitable work
on publio roads. Tbe next legislature
should devise some means of employment
for this unfortunate class.
Tbe McMinnvIlle Reporter psys its rnr
pliments to the populist-democratic union
party of Yamhill county in the following
terse language:
Tbe union party in Yamhill county is
one of those unfortunate creatures deprived
ol parental affection or pride. Both demo
crats and populists blush every time they
think ol tbe record it has made the part it
took in the legislative hold-np last winter,
its failure to redeem its promises of econom
ical administration, the violation of its
pledges in regard to deputy hire, and worst
of all the "county seat ring' tbat has taken
charge of its affairs. What better could be
expected of a mongrel posterity though?
bile mining in Alaska is carried on
under many difficulties owing to the terrific
cold of the long winters, yet this excessive
low temperature is not such an inconven
ience to tbe miners as one would suppose, as
tbe following from tbe Victoria Colonist
indicates:
There is s little point about winter min
ing in Alaska that has not been mentioned,
Owing to the fact tbat smaller streams
freeze solidly, it is possible to mine in the
bed of the stream simply by lifting out the
frozen stream and piling it up on the bank.
When spring comes the stream that came
down in the previous fall thawsotit and can
be used for sluicing. It is proverbial tbat
a mill cannot grind with water that has
passed, but when it comes to lifting up a
river and putting it on the hank so as to
have it handy to use in the following
spring, you have pretty nearly knocked the
old proverb out.
Wasco County from being a land of
bunch grass, stock ranges and wheat
fields has now come to be a great frnit
growing district as the following from
The Dalles Times-Mauntaineer proves:
Wasco county's fruit crop this year will
probably be the largest ever harvested,
and will bring a considerable amount of
money into the county. The shipments
of green fruits such as plums, prunes and
peaches will amount to over 00 cars, the
American Fruit Uowers' Union having
made contracts to handle 'M cars, and
some 30 cars will be shipped direct by
growers. Bosides this there will be a large
shipment of winter apples, and a con
siderable amount of prunes and peaches
will be dried.
Drowned lit the Willamette.
Word was brought to Oregon City
Thursday evening that two persona had
been drowned in tlio Willamette river
near Oswego, Coroner Godfrey at once
roptnred 0 the scene, taking with hint,
IVputy Prosecuting Attorney Dimlik,
Stenographer Lodor and IV. Powell, A
jury consisting of C. U. Haines, A. S.
Clinefelter, Thomas Fox, J, O'Urien,
Matt WollT and Wilfred Piatt was em
paneled and seven witnosaoa examined
resulting in a verdict of accidental
drowning. Aa near as could be learned
the accident happened as follows : -Pete
Youeker, a 12-yearold lad who was just
learning to swim, went Into the Willam
ette river near the mouth of Tryon Creek
had gone about 25 feet from the shore
when he became frightened, railed for
help and sank. Cornelius DeBauw, a
man about 40 years of age, waa altting
on the bank, having just come up to the
river in a skiff, and when he saw the
boy'a life waa in danger went at once to
his assistance, without waiting to divest
himself of hia clothinir. lln had limt
I - - i "
reached deep water when he suddenly
, ank and was seen no more until his
lifeless body waa recovered a few hours
later. The drowning was wltuessed by
several parties who proceeded to drag
the river for the bodies. DeBituw's was
recovered at 5 :30 p.m. and Younker's
at 6:30. The accident occured about
a 0 I'loek.
