Entered at the poetofliee at Oregon City, Oregon, as second-class matter. posed to the building up of the public schools of the country. Oregon is yet in its infancy, and it is for the interests of every one to lend assistance to its up building. Kven congress considers the Lewis and Clark fair of sullicient importance to U nd assistance in the way of a liberal appropriation, (iod helps them who help themselves; and if we are not willing to help ourselves, can we expect others to assist? We are living in a progressive age, and with the al most limitless resources of Clackamas county she will soon rank as second only in wealth and rank to,) her sister, .Multnomah, the Republicans have al-IQ ways stood and now stand as the progressive party of'Q the count rr. It mar seem a little hard to ko down in our pockets and contribute to the fair and to double, the funds of our county schools, hut is not monry thus spent expended in a worthy cause, that will in the end bring results fully justifying the expendi lure? The world moves, and Clackamas county intends to keep up with the procession, notwithstanding the prating of the Courier and the unterrilied in their ef forts to retard the growth, progress and development of the county and its resourceful industries. MORE MISREPRESENTATION. Fresistent mis-statement of facts is no argument. It weakens rather than strengthens a contention. Of this the Courier editor will be thoroughly convinced before the campaign closes with the election in June, Last week the Colonel stated editorially that Sheriff Shaver and Assessor Nelson would be kpt busy for several months to come explaining why it was that by more than doubling the assessment roll of the county the tax levy was not cut in two as these offi cers had promised. The Courier alleged that the as sessable values of the county were doubled "with a million to spare" and the tax levy was not cut in two. In both allegations he is mistaken. In the first place, the assessment roll in the aggregate of values is not quite double that of a year ago and in the second place the tax levy for county purposes was reduced by fifty per cent as the Republican candidates, during the campaign two years ago, promised would be done. Reference to the records shows that the tax levy, so far as the county court had any power, was cut exactly in twain. In January 19CW, the county court levied a tax of 12 mills for county purposes and a road tax of 9 mills. This year these levies were reduced to G mills and mills, respectively. These are the only levies over which the county court has jurisdiction. The amount of money to be raised by Clackamas county for state and school purposes is fixed by law and a levy sufficient to raise the required amount must be made by the county court. Hence the Cour ier's argument falls flat again. While it is true the amount of taxes that each individual will be obliged to pay this year will be slightly more than a year nun, o o o o o o o o o o D o THE 15R0WNLOW RILL. O There is now pending in congress a bill introduced o by the Hon. Walter P. Rrownlow, of Tennessee, and the Hon. Jacob II. Oallinger, senator from New j a Hampshire, appropriating Jf.M ,000,000 as national O islW This sum aid for the building of wairon roads to be distributed to each state according to its popu-jO lation, except that no state is to receive less than i $2"0,(XX). The states or counties receiving this monev i" must add a like amount, so that f IS 000,000 will be o expended in the building of wagon roads. iO U O O 8 o o Colonel t.rownlow savs that we have over L'OO.(HX) nines oi me nnest railway in tlie world more miles of railway than all the rest of the globe put together yet we have the poorest wagon roads of any civil ized country. He believes that no one thing will do this country so much good as the building of wagon roads, as provided for in this bill. As these are to be built in everr st.it in tln 1'iiiim ilu.v n ill I...

Oregon's representatives in congress can make no mistake in sn parting the bill. levying of special school taxes will not be necessary and where such a levy does have to be made, it will be materially reduced from that of a year ago. For instance, last year Oregon City school district levied a tax of 7$ mills for school purposes but this year under the law that requires the raising by the county of a fund equal to per capita for each person of school age, a sufficient amount will be raised by direct tax so that the district was obliged to levy a special tax of only 2 mills. The Courier editor should abide by the spirit of fairness that he has professed to govern his criticism of the administration of county affairs. SOME PERTIN'EKT FACTS. Our friend, the Courier, stems to think that the sheriff will have his hands full explaining to taxpay ers why the taxes are higher this year than usual, it Foil the thoroughness of its equipment and the high character of the work physical, educational and spiritual that in being conducted, the Oregon City Young Men's Christian Association is a credit to the city. The effort to maintain in this city such an in- jetitution is commendable and should be liberally su- ported. the gymnasium and game rooms are well supplied with apparatus and attractions and afford a splendid resort for the young men of the city. Rare advantages for acquiring an education are found in connection with the educational work that is being carried on in connection with the association work. There is also a large reading room, well supplied with papers, magazines and other publications, while the religious side of the association work finds expression ( urol Alter fiiirrliiB IO Iram being understood that when the assessment was in the organization of several Bible classes.

The cover page was printed in colors with an appropriate border of Oregon Grape. There was included in the number a complete and ill ustrated report of the proceedings of the recent Na tional Livestock Association meeting that was held in Portland. The publication is a credit to this important industry and also to the enterprise that was respon sible for its appearance. ing $500,000 for the Lewis and Clark fair? Is it not also a fact that the Courier approved the fair appro priation? Is there a reader of the Enterprise in this county who does not know that a law was passed requiring the county court of each county to make a levy sufficiently large to raise the county school fund to $6 per capita for each child of school age in the county ? In the face of these facts, what are we to expect? The county court has kept every pledge it made to the people,and the county affairs have been conducted for considerably less money for than has any other valley county that has so far reported. The aggregate of the expenditures of Clackamas county last year were only $37,000 as against $47,000 for the year before. The county court also did just as it agreed to in re gard to the tax levy; but if we are to have a fair we must expect to pay for it, and if the funds of the school districts are to be more than doubled, the tax payer must expect to pay for it also.
