In President Rooesvelt's decision on the appeal of Admiral Schley from the findings of the court of inquiry, he says : "l arnsalisfled that, on the whole, the court did substantial justice." This should put a quietus on the controversy. With his usual thoroughness, the Presi dent went ever all the records and per sonally examined Admirals Evans and Taylor, and Captains Clark and Wain wright, who were in command of vessels at Santiago. He quotes their statements iu his decision. Captain Clark says that "did not, as a matter of fact, exercise any control over any movement or action of the Oregon." Admiral Evans says: "Nor did I receive any orders whatever from the Brooklyn ; nor would I have heeded them if I had received them." Admiral Taylor makes the same state ment: "I received no signal whatever from the Brooklyn, and should not have heeded any if one bad been made." And Commander Wainwright says: "I received no signals from the Brooklyn." In gumming do, President Roosevelt, referring to the captains ' testimony, de clares the question of command is, in this case, "nominal and technical," inas much a8"the actual fact, the important fact, is that after the battle was joined, not a helm was shifted, not a gun was fired, not a pound of steam was put on... in obedience to the order of either Samp son or Schley, rave on their own vessels. It was a captain's fight." The President also holds that the court ehould have "specifically condemned the failure to enforce an effectual night blockade" by Admiral Schley, but doubts "whether Si rPOKT THE ASSOCIATION. It is apparent that the good .work being accomplished by the Young Mens Christian Association ia nut generally realized by the people uf this city. Aside from, the religious .branch, the oil.lpiio work and the Social features of it do more to keep the growing boy from the street and from resorts ot question able character than any other induce ment which is offered him by Oregon City. Indeed, theie is no other place. It is a half way house between the church and the saloon and while this statement may not be relished by all friends of the association, it cannot be denied that the average boy will not swallow religion in any way but homec pathically. Good, healthy, clean sport, pleasant and elevating associations, a clean body, and a live and stimulating interest iu what his hands find to do will result in more benefit, directly or indirectly, than all the churches in the city. This is not intended to mean that a boy should receive no religious train ing. The foundation for this should be laid in the home. Iu their efforts to build up the association and place it on a permanent working ami sustaining basis, its officers should have the hearty and uuited, moral and financial support of every good citizen in Oregon City. CB08S should not object to the taxes in this county so long as he gets Glad stone off with paying about one third of what is assessed against it, as has been done for several years. Harvey, ii you would set the example by paying ycur taxes and not let Gladstone be sold at the "junk sale" for abiutone third of the taxes, you might convince some one that you were burdened with the tax question.

All we dairymen ask is that oleomargarine be sold for what il is; which is not doue at the pies ent time, as out of the U'8,000,000 pound manufactured last year, DO per cent was sold aa batter at a profit to the oleo man ufacturers and dealers of at least 17,000,- 000. Thii is the combination that the dairy interest in the United Slate ia up against ; ami from the change ol senti ment that came over the woolgrowera of Moutana during a leces of thirty min utes, it looks to an Oregonian a if money talked; but, follow dairymen, volea count, and if we all write personal letter to our United State Senator and circu late petition all over the state asking our Senators to help us in this, matter, we will get this business settled at this session ol Congres. The cattle-men say it will make cattle cheaper; I would like to know whv. as all we ask Is that oleo be sold for what it is. Il it is th poor man's butter, why not let him have il at the lowest price? But no! They want it sold as butter and are willing to spend millions to perpetuate the fraud. - So, dairymen, try and help yourselves. If you will circulate petitions, I will send them to you. It.

The President gays in conclusion: "There is no excuse whatever from efther side for any further agitation of this unhappy controversy. To keep it alive would merely do damage to the navy and the country. TAXES FOR ROADS. There hag been great interest for some years in this county in the question of betterment of the county roads. People not only have paid their taxes for this purpose but they have subscribed liber ally besides to get these desired high ways. Tbe time bas arrived when the result of the expenditure of this money was being felt and the county was taking pride in the better roads. The amount spent by the county on its roads bas constantly increased until it baa reached considerable proportion, nearly $00,000 last year. The coming year the levy is 8 mills, probably twice what any other county bag levied. The people of this county are satisfied to pay this tax go lung as they see the result of better roads. And not only are they getting better roads, but this county is looked on as a leader. Three men, Cross, Charman and Dye, who have been active in the movement or good roadg both as to soliciating sub scriptions and agitating the matter, at tended tbe independent political meet ing last week and denounced the high regard to opening tiis proposed road. George Lazelle was elected chairman and Ward B. Lawton secretary. Ward B. Lawton and others presented petitions for both labor and money. A committee was appointed to go before tha County Court to ask for assistance In opening tbe road. Call Fur Socialist Mass Contention. A mass convention of the Socialists of Clackamas County is hereby called to meet in Willamette Hall, Oregon City, Oregon, Saturday, the 8th day of March, 1902, at the hour of 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of nominating a county ticket for tbe various offices to be filled at the election to be held in this State on the second day of June, 1902; and for tbe transaction of other business of inter est to the Socialist party. Fbed J. Meindl, Chairman, Wm. Beabd, secretary, " County Committee. The Portland Oregonian of last Sun day said editorially: In spite of the tremendous fight made by tbe dairy interests of the country on oleomargarine, total of 103,000,000 pounds of the product was made and sold in the United States last year. These figures constitute a heavy Indict ment against the taste of the American people, providing this enormous quantity of oleomargarine was bought and eaten with a full kuowledge of It character. If, however, it was palmed off on an un suspecting public a butter, it form a heavy indictment against the honesty of its manufacturers. The effort to regulate the sale of this product i legitimate in so far a it is confined to making oleo margarine stand upon its own merit and appear in market under its own name. Beyond thla, as, for example, the effort that has been made in some states to force manufacturer by law to color the product pink or blue in order to make it disgustiug in appearance to con sumers, the crusade against oleomargar ine is not justified. Il is only when it is put out as butter that dairymen have a right to protest against it, and in this protest they will no doubt be joined by such consumers a have a decent regard for pure food. CLEAR CREEK CREAMERY. Annual Mealing Wl 1 be Held March 17 t Elect Officers for the Year. "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a number of years and have no hesitancy in saying that it is the best remedy for coughs, colds and croup I have ever used in my family. I have not words to express my confidence in this remedy." Mrg J. A. Moork, North Star, Mich. Fr sale by Go. A. Harding Druggist. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Hare Always Bought Signature of fiuaiff-&&&ti President W. P. Kirchein has called a meeting of the stockholders of the Clear Creek Creamery Company at the cream ery building on Monday, March 17, at 1 p. m. This is the annual meeting of the company and is held for the purpose of electing a board of five directors, a treasurer and a secretary. The com pany hag over 70 stockholders and was incorporated January 26 1001, with a capital stock of $l..r)00 divided into 150 ehares at $10 per share. One hundred and thirty shares have been sold. Organization was effected in March and it was the original intention of the com pany to operate the plant on the milk gathering system but after erecting a building costing over $700 (built partly by donated labor), the board of directors found that in order to put the plant on a paying basis it would be necessary to chrmge to the hand geparator and cream gathering system. Cream routes have been established through Redland, Viola, Damascus, Eagle Creek and Cur rinsvilie. The company will tend out wagons to collect the cream from the stockholder twice or three timet & week, or as often as necessary. Operations,! rotes win do commenced about JWay 1, with cream from 350 cows assured. secure a re- lie la i,.i,iu thin lMcnse ltrownell liaaoome out plainly and strongly In favor of the Initiative and referendum. In speaking of this matter Mr. U'Ken said: "Whenever I find a candidate who will help the amendment, 1 help him. If there are two candidate for the same olllce and both are friendly to the am I- incut, I keep my haiida off. Hrownell was one of the first outspoken advocate of the amendment among the republicans so, of course, all Mends mf the amend ment leel friendly to him." Mr. U'Ken expresses the Imllcf that both the republican and democratic sla'e convention will endorse the initiative and referendum. The republican atale convention will be held first. If the republican should ignore the amend ment, and then the democrat should indorse It, the latter parly would have a decided advantage al the poll. "My experience with the republicans," says Mr. U'Run, "i that they do not overlook anything that will be of material ad vantage to tlieiu in a campaign, and I do not Miev they will let the demo eiats go into this campaign the iole advocates ol the amendment. The amendment a proposed in this state hut Wen divested of all the objectionable features, and l certain to meet popular approval. It doe not require that all act of the legislature shall lie submitted to a vote of the people, hut leave it in the power of the people to subject any act to tbe test of popular vote, so that obnoxious may lie rejected. The initi ative and referendum amendment pro posed In Oregon I the best that has yet been framed. It cannot Im called cum bersome nor expensive, and yet il furnishes a complete safeguard against improper legislation." If Mr. Ulien'a opinion of the action that will be taken by the republican state convention be correct, and it should seem probable that the republican party will end jrse the initiative and referen dum, it may he expected that candidates tor office will lie scrambling over each other in their effort to be among the first to be identified a friend of the amendment. In speaking yesterday of the political situation in Clackamas county, M U'Ren said that so far a he can learn Brownell will have no opposition to re' nomination. If there i any fight In that county, either fur or against Uover nor Geer, the evidences of it have not yet appeared upon the surface. Mr, U'Ren ay the senatorial question will probably figure in the selection of ctndi dates for the legislature, but thin far this feature of the fight has not become prominent. The Last Heard Ol II. "My little boy took the croup one night and soon grew so bad you could heir him breathe all over the house," says F. D. Reynold, Mansfield, O. We feared he would die, but a few doses of One Minute Cough Cure quickly relieved him and he went to sleep. That's the Wt we heard of the croup. Now Isn't a cough cure like that valuable?" One Minute Cough Cure is absolutely su'e and acts immediately. For coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis and all other throat and lung troubles it is a cer tain cure. Very pleasant to take. The little ones like it. Geo. Harding.
