It ia tiecea sary to Inn many of tluun to prevent people from going over or through the feme. The proper thing to do, and it ii false economy to do otherwise, ia to huild an enclosure high enough to keep out the grafter without going to the ex pense of keeping up a human fence year after vear. riomlnent ( larkamai County Partner "Hamhler"in Peclllo Farmer, A CROSS-ROADS LATSDRT. The Pallet Tiraei Mountaineer In dorses a plan to lighten the burden of fartner'a wlvea in the following worda: Modern inTention and acietitific re search have done much to lighten the burdens of the farmer. Inventive ekill has not ODly facilitated the operations of husbandry by supplying labor-saving machinery, but it has adapted many of the conveniences and comforts of the city to farm life. But inventive genius has done very little for the farmer's wife. It bas re lieved her of butter-making throigh the multiplication of the modern creamery, but in doing so it has also diverted the profits of this industry to the farmer's pocket, whereas the proceeds of butter- making formerly were conceded to the farmer's wife. The farmer has the telephone and free mail delivery, and be rides all day long on a sulky plow or on a reaper that cuta tbe grain and binds it into sheaves. It is doubtless only a question of time when machines will bosk his corn and dig hi potatoes. But the drudgery of the week's washing and ironing is still with the farmer'a wife. While the lord of the fields rides in indolent comfort on a sulky plow the wife bends over a wanbtub or wrestles with the hot irons two days out of every week. A promise of belated relief for the farmer'a wife ia seen in the proposition ot Representative Frost of Wiacontun to establish a steam laundry at every cross roads in the state, to which the farmers washing and ironing may be brought every week. As the state is dotted all oyer with creameries and cheese factories, it would be an easy matter to operate steam laundries in connection with them. There is nothing impossible or vision ar about Mr. Frost's plan. It embodies the principle of co-operation which bas already been successfully applied to nearly every form of agricultural activity from the old grist and saw mills to the modern creamery. Divest the farmer's household of this form of drudgery and then introduce in the kitchen some of the modern labor-saving devices that are used in hotels and the life of the farmer's wife will begin to approach that stand ard of ease and comfort long since at tained by the farmer himself. Chknkv thinks that the county should ask for hid in a lump sum. That It, bills w ill be received for all the bruises the county may need for a year no mai ler what fire or how many, a lump sum must be named. Also for tool for road work whether road graders or shovels, a lumpsum must l named for all the county may need in this line. The same thing with the county printing and sup plies. The Enterprise did not offer to do the work as cheap as done in other counties., but the Enterprise offered to do the county printing aa cheap as it is done in any county in the state. Cheney never intended to do the work for IOOO because it can not be done for that money. This is shown in the fact that while he has done only a small part of the work the past year, yet he has re ceived well up toward a thousand dol lars for the work. M. F. Ambler, owns a linn, thrifty young on-hard of 1,000 fruit trees, of which '.XX) are Italian prune and 2lX) are Petite. Strange to say, the latter are failure this season, but there I a full crop of Italian, also of apple there la a good crop, Mr. Ambler haa 23 acres of hi place In fine cultivation, cleared from limber nearly all by himaelf in the eight years he ha been on the place, which I I mile west of Clackamas station. II. Longcoy, native of tompklns county N, Y. and owning a flue place one mtte west of Clack am, ami acre of same in high cultivation, haa 13 acre in young Waring orchard, 4lw acre in Italian prune are loaded with fruit, but the same amount In Petite ha little or no fruit. l.at year, however, there waa a good crop of Petite, the yield being ix tons of dried fru't. The apple look well now, and there ia every pmeiiect f a tine crop. Sine nine vear. when Mr L came on the place, ha lias, by himself, cleared and put into cultivation 17 acre. U. II. Webster, owning a fine farm near Clackamas, haa 32 acre In orchard, 22 acrea ol which are In prune with chance of a fair crop of Italian prunes, but there I one thing not very encour aging, a blight I affecting aome of the young fruit on the Petite Ireea. J. II. Uoadarmel, a native of Spring Held, III., has ItS acrea In truck garden back of Milwaukie; 4l acrea are In Ad vance peas, grown fi r canning purpoa; also one acre of early garden peas.w blch ha began to market May 1.7th. He ha 2' acre of cucumber, one acre in beans and several acrea in potatoes. VIOLATE COMPACT Kurly ('IosIiik Aifirrnifiit In Not 'oiiiiIIimI With.

Several merchant are agitating Hie propoaitioii of forming a merchanta' pro- tcrtive aorlation and the matter will he brought forward at Tueaday'a meet ing. There la an aawalatiuu in Port land for the mutual benefit oi merchant and there I no good reason why audi an organisation should tiol aucieed here. In every town there arn dead beat who make a practice of running a bill with uno establishment and after their credit is exhausted, go lo another and reprat. A protective aaauciatlou would check these people and it I lo be hopml the busmen men can agree. A community of men, pulling tigther, ran accomplish many things, where any efT ri but a united one would fail. SKVKM IIIIOl II PUS 101 (.lir.

NoTwiTngTANDi.vo the fact that big crowds attended every day's session of the Chautauqua Assembly, the associa tion comes out nearly $500 on the wrong Bide of the ledger. If the management is compelled to pay big money for talent they ought to procure better entertainers than Polk Miller, who was a de cided frost. On Miss Neal, Dr. Mitchell and the Park sisters, nothing but praise can be bestowed. Secretary Wilcox waa Cot re-elected and the officers for 1002 are: W. C. Hawley, president; Cbas. H. Dye, yice-president j Harvey E, Cross, Secretary ; T. F. Ryan, treasurer; Geo. A. Harding, Dr, W. E. Carll, E. E. Charman, T. F. Ryan, Mrs. Wm. Gallo- j A La Rag majority of the people of Orvgon City have the interests of the Willamette Valley ChautaU'jna at heart and are ready and willing to aid the association in every possible way to make the assembly a success. It Is very probable that Secretary Wilcox served the association to the best of bis ability but the secretary should not be tied up with other matters and must devote his whole time and attention to Chautauqua work, or we shall see a repetition of this year a financial results. The public haa a right to expect a better Chautau qua next year and the experience of Mr, Croea should give him a keen Insigbt into tbe wishes and desires of the public. Kobert Wlikbaui, who ha lived here for 'M year pat, residing at Mitfi and Monroe streets, waa one of seven brother who enlisted in Iowa reglmenia Fred Kranber, in mixed farming on I at the outbreak of lb rebellion and . part ot the old Crook shank place teck of Milwaukie, baa 4' acre in onions, with good stand. He recently bought acrvage here, Including some good beaver dam land. For several years Mr. K. ran a feed stable in different parts of Portland, and ia now trying hi hand at farming. The St. Helens Mint rejoices over the fact that Columbia county is now out of debt, notwithstanding the fact that on April 8, 1808, it was fjO,403.79 in the hole. And the county bas been under republican management all this time. Not thus in Lion county, says the Al bany Herald. Alon about that time Linn county waa retiring from a number of years of republican rule and was en tirely out of debt and had money to pay all current bills. Now nnder about four years of populist rule this county is in debt about (60.000. Wuex times are bad there are no strikes but when business Improves strikes occur. Laborers are doing better but believe that they should do still better and that their employers are In a position from a ruBh of work to be forced into paying higher wages. If they lose their job other work is waiting for them. A Fir Road District. W. II. Council, last year road super visor in Clackamas county, and for eight years past roadmaster for Milwaukie precinct, says be has 43 or 50 miles of road nnder bia direction with a fund of 114.000 to work with. He waa found working on what ia called the middle road from Milwaukie to Oregon City This, he says, is the most direct route from Portland to the city at the falls of the Willamette, the distance being 13 miles. Considerable work is being ex ponded on it, and it will be put in good condition. Mr. Council's district in eluded tbe whole of the Milwaukie vot ing precinct. Tax time to find out whether the peo ple are satisfied with the change in text books is when they buy tbe new books at the beginning of the new year. The drought in KanBas is liable to ruin crop prospects, but that will not be so bad as tbe crop of calamity bowlers that will probably spring np. The balance of trade in favor of tbe United States is seven hundred millions for the past year. Not a bad showing by the country. Those famous little pills, DeWitt's Lit tle Early Risers, compel your liver and bowels to do their duty, thus giving you pure, rich blood to recuperate your body. Are easy to take. Never gripe. Geo. A. Harding. Diversified Farming. Thomas E. Brown in mixed farming on 114 acrea on Clackamas, just above (he hatchery, has 18 acres in orchard mostly young apple trees, coming into bearing. There are 100 Ganos and as many Canada Reds, 4 to 5 years old, full of fruit; likewise mrjt of the Baldwins. In part of the orchard there are 5 acrea in rape now, used as hog pasture, one acre in turnips, and several acres in peas. One part of the orchard, two or three acres, was cultivated in oaU, cut for hay the first season the trees were set out; showed lesa tbriftinesa than other part on no better ground. Mr. Brown thinks grain crop, such as oats or wheat, la an injury to any orchard, and has not re peated his first experiment. Other cul tivated crops raised in first few years of orchard's growth he thinks not injurious. or very little so to the trees' growth The canker bas considerably injured i good many of the trees In this orchard. Mr. Brown has growing finely over 2,000 tomato plants in a big patch adjoining his orchard and the warm sandy soil there ia well adapted to their growth. He has a greenhouse In Oregon City where the plants can easily be grown for early transplanting on the farm.

Twenty-five years ago, whan "Elbow Itoom" and "Out of the HurlyBurly" were the successes of the day, Max Adeler suddenly ceased writing. For a quarter of a century he was proof against the blandishments of editors, but within a few weeks he has completed a new aeriea of humorous stories which show him at his best. Talerof Old Turley, which will appear in the early numbers of Tho fiaturday fcvenlng Post, are wonderfully droll stories of the quaint characters in an old fashioned country town before the war. Local politics, school committee fights, church squabbles and women's clubs lend themselves admirably to Max Adeler's humorous touch, and form the basil of some of the cleverest stories that have been written for many a day. The Excitement Not Over, The rush at tbe drug store still con tinues and daily scores of people call for a bottle of Kemp's Balsam for the Throat and Lnngs for tbe Throat and Lungs for tbe cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Broncbitis and Consumption.

It Is in brief a new malhod for putting a baby to aleep. Mr. and Mr. Z-mn have a year old Infant, which I a very fine child, but is like lot of other In o much a she cri long and loudly at moat inopiiorluna time, At present the baby ia teetbing and I more con ftpictiomtly present than usual. The other night the baby started at aeven o'clock to howl. Tim alderman' wife tried to quiet the youngster, hut gave up in depir. Then the alderman from the Thirteenth ward tried hi hand at It. For one hour he battled. Then sat down and wiped hi perspiring brow. The child yelled more lustilv than - ever. Then like a flash came a brilliant Idea to the city father. He own a grapho phone. He got the machine and lined it up in front of the baby' cradle. He trained the mouthpiece against the cry ing child. Then the alderman started the machine. The aweet entrancing notes of "Pear Midnight of Love" came forth from the graphophone. The child stoutied cry. lug and listened In delight. The alder man took advantage ol the lull to beat a hasty retreat to bed. The graphophone kept on with "Dear Midnight of love" and then broke into "Wine, Women and Kong." The child continued quiet and happy. Then the graphophone sang merrily "When Keuben Cornea to Town," and as the tune changed to "Go to Bleep, LIP Piccannlnny," the babv'a tired eyes closed and there came a con tented anore from the aldermanic conch, Hince then the graphophone has been tried on th,e baby and haa never failed to bring peace to the Zeman hoiisohold.
