The New Year's number of the Oregonian of 64 pages, was devoted exclusively to the extensive re sources of the st te. In this respect it was the most complete publication ever issued in the state. An in teresting prospectus was also given of the Lewis and Clark Centennial of 1905. The following review of the progress, growth and devolopment of Clackamas county appeared in this issue: Probably the best evidence of the progress of Clack amas count v for the year 1903 lies in the fact that the assessable value of all property in the county has doubled. This year's tax roll represents property of the value of 19,000,000, as against $4,500,000 last year. At the same time there has been an extensive clearing ofland and building of homes by the many new comers who are locating in these parts. New and better structures have succeeded the primitive buildings in the interior of the county that were de stroyed by the disastrous forest fire of the fall of 1902, with the result that the general appearance of the county has been much improved in this respect. Clackamas county now has a population of 30,000, a growth of 2000 during the year just closed. Ciops of all kinds this year have been in excess of those of recent years. Employment was never more plentiful nor wages more remunerative. With these conditions, the natural product is a more contented and prosper ous state of affairs than the county has known in years. Clackamas county contains 1,1S0,000 acres, of which only 81,484 acres are under cultivation. Over 60,000 acres of the finest timber lands in the West are within this county. General farming is carried on profitably, although the average Clackamas county agriculturist does not devote his energies to growing any one crop. Diversified farming, rather than ex clusive grain culture, is followed, and the results are far more satisfactory. Good farming lands may be purchased at prices ranging from $15 to $'0 per acre. With 1.000.000 acres of timbered or splendid graz ing lands, Clackamas county is an ideal section for the dairyman. The dairy industry has grown amaz ingly in the last year. The county also contains a large acreage that discloses rich mineral deposits. These await development. Of almost inestimable value to the county are its timber interests, which have scarcely been disturbed. Fir, spruce, larch and cedar of a superior quality abound, and in future years Clackamas will be among the foremost coun ties in the state in supplying the demands of the The principal industry of Clackamas county is in it manufacturing institutions. With its natural and al nat ino-rhaiistihle water sunrjl v.this county is destined to be the manufacturing center of the Pacific coast. The power awaits utilization, and with the introduction w of the needed capital in providing additional manufacturing institutions will the true value of the resources of this section be realized, ai uie mini 1 etaoA of water, the Willamette Falls at Ore gon City afford 50,000 horse power. By expending a few thousand dollars, ih uim ruilwav Company has generated on the Upper UacK mas river a sufficient water power to operate its exten Bive plant and street railway system. The topogra phy of the county is such that, at little expense, equal power may be obtained at frequent intervals along tbe entire course of the Clackamas and Molalla rivers both of which are mountain streams. V ith these 'conditions an idea may be formed of the possi bilities of this section as a manuiaciunug ce.uex. Uregon iny are mc mwicii DRINKING THE KING'S HEALTH. Kin Edward, of Knelnnd, has acquired ft sober wav of looking at things relating to the welfare l.nd the happiness of his subjects. This trait is well il lustrated in his majesty's advice to peoplfl who mei called upn to drink his health. At ft recent banquet which Sir Oswald Moseley, Hart., gave to Ins tenams at Rolleston Hall, lUirton on -Trent, the gentleman, contrary to his doctor's orders, drank to the king 8 health in a bumper of old port wine. Sir Oswald made no secret of the fact that ho expected the wine to do unlovely things to his system, and he candidly ad mitted that he had no taste for the stuff; but he con sidered his duty to his king to be greater than any considerations for his personal comfort or safety. He felt that he had a duty to perform. His tenants must bo shown that no matter what should come to them they must ever be ready to drink to the health of their sovereign in bumpers f old port. What ft glo rious exhibition of loyalty! But it appears that Sir Oswald's doctor did not share in the opinion that it was necessary to assume risks for the purpose of drinking to the king's health. He even told the king so, and obtained from that au enst ruler authority to address the patient as follows: C . . . His majesty particularly requests me to say inai he thinks it undesirable that anyone suffering with your complaint should drink too many healths in old port. This is a sensible concession on the part of the t-iiMT Ami it should be sufficient to convince even the most enthusiastically loyal of his subjects that it will not be treasonable to decline to drink more than an average of three healths a day one at each meal in old port. In July last the king's private secretary wrote to a naval officer: His niaiestv will be clad if it is circulated privately that, lie considers that his health is as much honored ! by those who drink it in water as by those who drink it in wine. Certainly the navy will be no less reliable if grog .is not one of the sources of its patriotism. "IS A lean With Lw S IPHses Kyi ? ; ;.J; J I Vi:vf y I Jt- HutSoturtnn t) L J 'U V SUrx F,f i!

Usually when an aver age Oregon legislature gets through with it. Colon kl Wkstovkh, poet laureate far the Clacka mas county democracy, had quite a contribution in last week's issue of the Courier. Poetry writing is only one of tbe many accomplishments possessed by the Courier editor. Residents of Oregon City on Monday witnessed a disgusting spectacle on the streets when a mother and her son, both beastly intoxicated, were seen to stagger down the principal business street. In this coni.ee tion it might be said that neither of the parties re sides in this city. It is reported that the people's Party is to be re organized. But the question arises: Does anything remain to e organized? Possible success is based on the realization of an alleged impending panic. Thus again do the Antis measure the possibility of success b' a calamity that shall be of a national character. Political organizations with no more stable foundation than this are bound to be a disappointment as they should be. , For some weeks now the Enterprise has been too busy issuing receipts, enlisting the names of new sub scribers and at the same time getting out the best county paper, to boastfully advertise tbe fact. We have been doing an unprecedented business in taking new subscriptions and an inspection ot our lists win justify the assertion. With its constantly growing mWrir.tinn list, the Enterprise is the host advertis ing medium through which to reach the people of Clackamas county. The old woman who complained that she never UnA 0.,irV, t tm around, would probably have been pleased once if delegated tbe task of dividing among her twelve voracious youngsters uie pie recently rvp.l to the quests of a baking company at its an nual ball in Brooklyn. This pie weighed 1 10 pounds, fthaned three feet wide and two deep. It was not all alike, but was made in sec- nut. lemon and other fruits Two hundred eggs went into this pie, and it took six men fifteen hours to make it, each having charge of a . ..x:.. o v,iifffin of eoal was consumed in the baking. Hundreds of guests "ate their fill" of Wis, mammoth pie, and sun mere was picmy i. -nared to this triumph of the culinary art, that famous nur-ery rhyme product of "four and twenty black birds LaTced in a pie" seems quite tame as "a dainty dish to set before the king."
