SOMEWHAT WORDY.
Dave Hill and the Democratic lead-
! ers admit that Judge Parker would
' not have been nominated if the' con
'vent ion had known his attitude on the
j money question. That is a frank ad
1 mission that Parker is now on the
; ticket through false pretenses,

It is announced that Clackamas
county will be represented by a com
plete exhibit of Its resources at the
Lewis and Clark Fair, provided some
competent person can be found who
will prepare the exhibit Clackamas
county being so conveniently located
to the scene of the Fair should be rep
resented at Portland next year. A slm
ilar exhibit of the county's extensive
resources should be had at the state
fair each year. There is need for some
systematic plan of advertising this sec
tion, and a better agency cannot be
bad than the entering of exhibits in
competition with those from other
counties of the state. A county fair
would do much to stimulate the rais
ing of a better quality of farm and
other products and a corresponding
improvement in the breeds of live
stock would be the sure result.

the producer In cultivating and rais
ing more eggs, butter and vegetables,
since the enlarged market that is
made easy of access will stimulate the
prices for these products. The pro
posed building of this line marks a
new era in the development of Oregon.
These rural lines are operated success-

' OREGON CITY AS A RESORT.
That the Great Salt Lake is certain
in the near future to disappear from
the map has long been the belief of
scientists. That its disappearance will
come much sooner than has been ex
pected, and possibly within a quarter
of a century, is the conclusion that has
been reached by certain investigators
who have recently made careful stud
ies of its fluctuations.
In an article In a recent dumber of
