It Lai been suKiiented that Clackamas
county bold a county fair next year.
ibis suKxesllon is worthy a ttoroonh
consideration. But an enterprise of this
kind should not be iuau(ursted without
the united support and co-operation of
the entire business and urotxtrty inter
ests ol the county. County fairs have
accomplished great tilings in the devel
opment and advancement of other coun
ties and there is do reason wby the same
results cannot be obtained in this county.
There Is abundant ro?m for improved
conditions in Clackamas and with this
contention no person of intelligence will
take issue. But Id this connection, sliifht
leaistance or opposition will tend largely
to defeat the purpose for whch a fair is
maintained, there must tie no opposi
tion or even Indilfurence to a movement
that has at slake the furtherance of the
best Intents of the entire community.
On the other band there must be a hearty
spirit of co-operation. It la to ascertain
the altitude of the public towards
this project that this Item is writ
ten, llie bnterprlB will bef pleased to
receive communications Irotn residents
ol the county expressive of the sentiment
of the various localities w!'h reference to
the holding of a fair.
Great educational value attaches to the
competifve exposition of the resources
of any section. This fact cannot be dis
puted. No county in the state, possibly,
is in greater need of this education than
is Clackamas. W hile the pioducts of
this county bear a favorable comparison
with those produced 10 any other county
of the state, still tliei" is room for im
proving the breed of the stock, tbe qual
ity and varieties of the various grains
nd fruits. It Is by exhibiting the agri
cultural and horticultural products and
the stock interests that lensons in im
proved breeding and methods of farming
may be learned. No place affords a bet
ter opportunity for the learning of these
lesHous than the county lair.
Horse racing is not considered essen
tial to the holding of the fair that is con
templated. InHtead, the plan will prob
ably be to confine the institution exclu
sively to the exposition of the grain,
fruit, stock, and in fact all farm products
of the county. When the fair is placed
on a substantial fooling, then will be time
to figure on horse racing and other more
expensive attractions. But at the begin
ning of the proposed enterpnee and with
no available race-track facilities in this
section, it would be too expensive to pre-
flre a racecourse in connection with the
equipment of the grounds and buildings
thai will be required for the other more
essential needs. It has been years since
Clackamas county had so exhibit of its
resources at tbe state fair. With a county
fair each fall, the best of the exhibits
shown at that time can be made into a
general display and taken to Salem for
competition with like exhibits from other
parts ol the state.
It Is a known fact that in any enter
prise there must be some one to take the
rutiative. W ben an institution is once
established and runs itself, there is never
any trouble in finding persons who will
serve in the various required capacities.
The Enterprise reporter was discussing
the subject of a county fair with H. h.
Cross, this week. Mr. Cross is the act
ive secretary of the Oregon City Board
of Trade and in this capacity he has
rendered the city much valuable service.
Mr. Cross is busily engaged in his own
private business and as secretary of the
W illauiette alley Chautauqua Associa
tion has but little time to devote to
other interests but he is willing to give a
Dart of Ins time and energy to tbe or
ganization of a county fair that will be
representative of the resources of tbe
county. Mr. Cross will lend his aid to
the plan nnder one condition only and
that is that tbe people ol the county
must be unanimous for the enterprise.
There are a hundred men in this city
who should be equally active with Mr.
Cross in securing for the county an en
terprise that will piove of such value to
the county as will prove a fair. A larger
number is to be found throughout the
countv among the prosperous farmers.
Let's discuss the subject and consider it
in its various phases and if it is consid
ered better, let's have the fair.
Once it is decided to hold a fair, there
would be little difculty in selecting a
suitable site. Gladstone Park has been
suggested as the most desirable place.
It is reported that these grounds can be
had for tne purpose and in audition to
being suited to the needs are also
equipped with a number of buildinus
that can be utilized in connection with
the fair. The grounds contain tbe re-
3 ill site acreage and . will easily aceom mo
ate all interests. The only other point
suggested is Canemab Park but tbe lim
ited acreage and the difficulty of reach
ing the grounds are suggested as an ob
jection to this place. Let us hear sug
gestions as to sites that are at all suited
for tbe holding of a fail together with
any other suggestions pertaining to the
subject.
It is generally Relieved mat tne onty
satisfactory way of conducting a fair as
proposed will be by stock company.
Such a corporation could be formed with
a capital stock of $10,000 and of the total
capitalization about $.'000 could be real
ized at the start which it is believed
would be sufficient to inaugurate the
movement. The question of forming a
fair association and providing the funds
with which to conduct a fair can be more
gracefully discussed when tbe question
of holding a fair has been disposed of.
The Enterprise will be glad to hear
from any of its readers on tbe proposi
tion of a fair as suggested in tbe fore
going paragraphs.
Was An Old Vitxbas. "Captain
Jack" Miller, aged about 70 years, died
at Facie Creek last night. The deceased
was a veteran of the Civil War, where
be lost an arm in the service of bis coun
try, lie was a well known character in
this section of the state. Burial services
took place at Damaacas Friday afternoon.
Judge R. P. Boise, sitting at an ad
journed term of circuit court for Polk
county, Department No. 2, Tuesday
I afternoon, rendered a decision to the
effect that road supervisors elected in
June, 1U02, are entitled to bold office un
til January 1, 1904, says tbe Polk County
Observer. The case at issue, that of L.
C. Kirkpatrick vs. John Middleton, su
pervisor of road district No. 17, has at
tracted considerable attention in Polk
county and elsewhere, not because of
the amount involved, nut necanse 01
legal questions whicb affected not only
the defendant, but also every other road
supervisor in Oregoa.
Ever since the passage of tbe road law
by the last Legislators there bat been
much contention as to whether the law
of I'J03 repealed the act of 1901, and
legislated out of office tbe road super
visors holding under that act- Tbe case
of Kirkpatrick against Middleton was
brought in order to test this question in
the courts.
A few weeks ago Middleton demanded
of Kirkpatrick the payment ot $3 road
poll tax. Kirkpatrick refused to pay
the amount, on the ground that he held
a legal claim against Polk county for a
sum equal to or greater than the amount
of tbe tax. Middleton refused to recog
nize or accept Kirkpatrick't claim and
immediately began an action in the jus
tice court for the tax. A trial was bad
and the justice rendered judgment
against Kirkpatrick for the amount of
tbe tax and costs.
The case was then taken to the circuit
court for review, the principal contention
raised by Kirkpatrick being that Middle
ton bad no authority to sue in the lower
court for the reason that the law under
which be was elected had been repealed
prior to the bringing of the action and
that bv reason of said repeal Middleton
was not a legally elected and qualified
officer, but only an intruder.
Aftur bearing the arguments of counsel
Jiylge Boise decided that Middleton is a
duly elected, qualified and acting super
visor; that no authority is given the
court to appoint before January, 1904;
that the road districts remain intact and
that the present road supervisors hold
office under the act of 1901 nntil January
1, 1904. Tbe court holds that it was not
the intention of tbe Legislature in pass
ing the law to abolish road districts or
to allow any vacancy to occur in the
office of road supervisor.
Alleged Hillsboro Minister
Burglar Seeks Evidence
Tbat Will Clear Him of a Felonious
Charge Called In Oregoa City
Saturday.
Rev. R. H. Kennedy, the alleged minister-burglar
of Hillsboro, accompanied
b his attorney, 8. B. Houston, was la
the last Saturday in quest of evidence for
bis defense of tbe charge of burglary that
has been preferred against im in tbe
courts at Hillsboro. Rev. Kennedy al
leges that on the night of tbe burglary at
tbe Warren residence on the morning of
September 1, be was in Portland and be
claims to have evidence to the effect that
be retired at 11 o'clock on that night,
arising at 6 o'clock the following morn
ing when he came to Oregon City to tran
sact some business at tbe local land of
fice. Register Dresser distinctly remembers
that Rev. Kennedy, who had previously
visited the Oregon City Land Office on a
business mission, visited tbe office again
about 11 o'clock on the Tuesday morning
tbat the burglary was committed. Mr.
Dresser is positive that the reverend gen
tleman entered the land office at be him
self went out. Rev. Kennedy was waited
upon by Miss Kelly, one of tbe clerks in
the office, but owing to tbe absence from
the city of tbat lady, who is away on her
vacation, tbe identification by Miss Kelly
in confirmation of Mr. Dresser's con
victions, was not obtainable.
It is possible that tbe visit of Rev.
Kennedy to this city has netted bim some
very material evidence that will be of
great aid to him in disproving tbe feloni
ous charge that has been brought against
him in the courts at Hillsboro. The at
taches of the Land Office were particu
larly impressed with the extreme gen
tlemanly appearance of Rev. Kennedy in
bis dealings with the othce.
UNDER AUSTRALIA!! SYSTEM
WHEAT OP THREE STATES.
Tbe Estimated Product of
Washington aod Idaho.
Oregon,
1
City Elections In all Cities of 200O
Inhabitants Under New Law.
The annual estimate of tbe Oregonian,
of the wheat crop of Oregon. Washington
and Idaho, places the total yield In tbe
places the total yield in tbe three states
for 1903 at 34,750,000 bushels, divided as
follows;
Washington. 19.100,000 bushels; Ore
gon, ll,40t;lo0 bushels ;Idaho, 4,250,000
bushels. The crop it nearly 30 per cent
below that of last year. Tbe season is
two or three weeks later than usual,
whicb makes it more difficult to forecast
accurately, though the above figures are
compiled from the best data obtainable
and are believed to fairly indicate the
product with a continuation of existing
conditions.
There is a considerable area of spring
wheat that is late which is in danger ol
frost and fall rains, either ol which might
change the result somewhat, Ol the
three states, Idaho has by far the best
crop, fully 5 per cent better than last
year. Oregon comes next with a de
crease of about 10 per cent as compared
with last year, while the Washington
crop i'b about 2.N per cent short of last
year's figures. There is at this time no
inclination of any eastern shipments,
but a considerable amount of Oregon and
Washington wheat is likely to find a mar
ket in California.
PRUNE CROP WILL BE LARGE
U rowers Want Fair Weather For Two
Weeks More.
"If the severe rain storms will desist
for another fortnight, the prune crop will
be harvested without sustaining any
damage," said J. E. Hedges, of tbe Will
amette Fruit Company, in discussing tbe
Clackamas county prune crop. ThiB
corporation owns several large prune or
chards in the vicinity 01 canny and
handles tbe crops of a number of indi
vidual growers so that it controls and
represents the product of oyer 100 acrea
of the best prune lands in tbe Willam
ette alley. . .
The Petite crop, which represents
onty a small acreage in this county, has
been picaed and cured ana growers now
feel apprehensive for the large crop of
Italians that is promised. Mr. Hedges
reports that the Italian trees are loaded
with the fruit. The weather being cold
and backward throughout tbe summer,
the prune crop matured slowly with the
result that the fruit attained a larger
growth than usual. This fact will in
crease tbe market value of tbe fruit
which sells entirely in grades. The
Willamette Fruit Company will adhere
to tbe quotation that has been fixed by
tbe Willamette Prune Association, of
balem, which is on a 2 cents basis.
Mr. Hedges says intermittent showers
will not interfere with the harvesting
and enring of the crop or do the fruit
any damage but he thinks that contin
ued rain for the next two weeks will do
thousands of dollars worth of barm to
this industry.
Piatreaa After Dating Cared.
Judge W. T. Holland, of Greensburg,
La., who is well and favorably known,
says : "Two years ago I suffered greatly
from indigestion. After eating, great
distress would invariably result, lasting
for an hour or so and my nights were
restless. I concluded to try Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure and it cured me entirely.
Now my sleep is refreshing and digestion
perfect." Sold by Geo. A, Harding.
The law ol 1903 places all cities ol 2000
inhabitants or over nnder the Australian
system of voting in the city elections. As
the population of Oregon City is over
5000, it will be necessary to vote the
Australian ballot at the election to be
held on the first Monday of December.
All provisions of tbe state electioo laws
will apply to tbe cities. Nominations
must be made by conventions or assem
blage of 100 or over and filed with the
city recorder at least 30 days before the
election or if made by individual electors
most be filed 15 days before. This will
make it obligatory to bold the conven
tions at leaat 35 days prior to the election
and they must be composed of regularly
elected delegates as in county conven
tions, instead of mass meetings as here
tofore held. Primaries at which dele
gates to the city conventions are elected
must also be held and conducted accord
ing to law. A thirty day campaign will
be quite a novelty in most cities where
tbe candidates are usually nominated
two days prior to the election.
Tbe election of city officers in Oregon
City has been conducted after this man
ner for the last eight years. This form
has been provided by the terms of the
city charter tbat was passed in 1895.
Nominees for the various elective offices
were placed on tbe ticket by petition
representing a required per centage of
the voters of the city which has been
considered equivalent to the holding of
a regular convention. Under the law
as eDacted by tbe last legislature, it will
be compulsory on all cities having a pop
ulation of 2000 or more to bold conven
tions as directed for the naming of can
didates for city offices.
PI ASS HATE BEEN1 ADOPTED.
Fish-way Will Be Installed At
lamette Falls.
WIN
H. G. Van Dusen, state fish warden,
was in the city last week and adopted
plans and specifications for the fish lad
der that is to be installed at tbe Willam
ette Falls
The fish-way will be 400 feet in length
and will enable tbe salmon to cover a
raise of 42 feet and reach tbe waters of
the Upper Willamette river. The route
of the fish-way will be over the island,
through which the course will be blasted.
It will consist of pools 20x10 feet, be
tween which there will be a raise of
about three feet.
Mr. Van JDuseu says the course of tbe
fish-way being out of tbe main channel
of the river, possible damage from high
water will be obviated. Bids will be
asked for the construction of tbe fish-way
which will probably cost all of the $5000
that has been appropriated for tbe purpose.
