8 Phtronize Our Home Industriss The prosperous community is the one that within itself, most supplies its own people in their various needs, and by selling much and buying little, keeps its money from going abroad, Our farmers and manufacturers would each havo a better markot for thoir products, if our poople would encourago our local manufacturers by giving preference to their products over thoso importod from othor places. Were such the practice, it would not be long until Clackamas county would be one of the greatest industrial centers on this Coast. ttr"U there are other industrial estab lishments in Clackamas county not given in this directory, their card will be inserted free of charge on receipt of copy.

With tbe same patience that tbe early Eettler waited for tbe railroad to be built must tbe advocates of good roads wait for any decided action to be taken for tbe betterment of our pnblio high ways, says the Whitewater (Wis.) Jour nal. For the last five years our roads .have teen the topic of the press, but we fuil to see the good effect that this should have had on the minds of an intelligent people, and, strange as it may seem, the farmers are the very last ones with which this matter finds any favor. While our city cousins have long since protested against tbe slow, uncomfort able horse car and compelled the com panies to build expensive electrio lines with palace cars, we are contented to jolt along in enmbersome vehicles over nearly as bad roads as those oor grand fathers traveled in early pioneer days, and farmers who read from time to time of the large sums of money spent by the government in making pnblio improvements would vote against an equal amount being expended on our highways. For a proof of this fart just see with what reluctance most farmers work on the road, even vtheu well paid for their labor; better paid than they often are for tbe work which they do on the farm, and yet a greater proof is the fact that in iany of tbe towns in this county they still cling to the old way ttf working out road taxes by allowing a man so much for his team, plow or shovel and giving him ten hours' story telling. At a rough estimate there is between $10,000 and $15,000 expended annually on tbe roads in this county. If part of this large sum of money was invested in machinery used in making roads, and then have the work done by a body of men working under a county overseer who bad proved his ability as a road builder and civil engineer by passing a satisfactory civil service examination, we could get more and better work done. Such a man could be obtained for a moderate salary, and tbe work done would be more uniform and satis factory than that done by pet overseers who are appointed regardless of ability, but because of some political pull at town meetings. Of course there are exceptions to tbe general class of farmers who are work ing and talking to the best of their ability for good roads. It is to be hoped that success will in the end crown their efforts. Farmer Took the Lead. It was the farmers who originated the state aid law of New Jersey and who carried it into execution, with its vastly beneficial result, not only in the state, but as an example to many other states. It was also tbe farmers who built tbe excellent Cunandaigua roads in New York at their own cost Wedding stationery, the latest styles and finest assortment ever brought to Oregon City at the Entf.rpbihb office.
