CLACKAMAS COUNTY PRODUCtMt
ENTHUSt OVIf IXHIBIT.
seeutlvs Committee Is Named to Col
lect and Arrange Products
t 109 Pair.
Twfnty-two of the thirty-seven mem
brrs of the general com in It lee appointed
to arrange fur an exhibit of Clackamas
county products at the Ix-wla ft Clark
Kulr attended a meeting of that com
mittee held at the court house last Hat
urduy. An executive committee of nine
m'tnlers was named to have general
charge of the exhlhlt, in the gathering
and arranging of which It Is to have the
help of the members of the general com
mittee. The executive committee la to
hold a meeting next Monday, October
;(, when organization will be had and
rules of proceedure determined upon.
'ounty Judge Kyuti arid the members
of the county court were In atendance
at the meeting, Ihe former acting as
chairman of the meeting. E. E. IJrodle
was upiMilnted aeeretury. After a general
dlwuMlon of the proposed exhibit, a
motion w.ia successful providing for a
nominating committee to conaist of five
members, this committee to name the
executive committee. Those appointed
on the nomlnutliig committee were:
Judge Ryan, Oregon City, No. 1; H. E.
Cross, Abernathy; Henry Cans, Oswego;
J. H. Vaughan, t'nlon; Mrs. Mary 8
HoKard, Mullno. This committee named
the executive committee, which was
ratified by the general committee. The
executive committee consists of: Henry
Cans, Oswego; J. T. Apperson. Aber
nathy; W. B. Stafford. Oreogn City, No.
S; Mrs. Mary 8. Howard, Mullno; Dr. J.
W, Thomas. Molalla; Ueorge Iixelle,
New Era; Mrs. oeorge A. Harding. Ore.
gon City, No. 2: J. V. Jtools, Holing;
and Harvey C. Starkweather. Mtlwaukie.
Judge Ityan Informed the committee
that he l.ad Secured floor space 2&X40
feet In the agricultural building, this be
ing the greatest amount of space allotted
any other county. Clackamas county
can show a great variety of products.
Kor Instunce, In addition to all the prod
ucts of the farm and orchard, this coun
ty Is perhaps toe only county in the state
that produces iron, wool and aMT.
The executive committee Is a good one
and Is capable of preparing an exhibit
of such an extent and worth as an ad
vertisement to the county that the peo
ple of the county will have every" reason
to take pride in claiming a residence in
Clackamas.
WILL HAVE SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Clsckamas County Educators Decide to
Have Display at 1905 Fair.
At a m't'ting of the Clackamas county
teachers held at the offlce of Superin
tendent Zinxer laxt Saturday afternoon,
it was decided to make an exhibit of
Ihe work of the schools of the county at
the I-wlH A Clark Fair. Prof. H. 8.
Lyman, of Astoria. siiHrlntendent tit
Ihe educational department of the 195
Fair, was present and Informed the
teachers that If the educational exhibit,
from this comity Is made a part of the
State's educational exhibit, then the Fair
Commission will meet the cost of the
paper and the binding incident to the
display. Details of the exhibit were dis
cussed but the detailed arrangements
fur collecting and arranKhiK the same
will 1m- arranged for a a ubesiient
meeting.
SuiH-rlnteiulent Zlnser has received nn
Invitation to Ki to St. lxiuis and assume
charge of Oregon's educational exhibit
for the concluding month of the World's
Fair. The Invitation to take charge of
the exhibit also Includes Its packing and
shipment Jo Oregon. Mr. Zlnser has the
Invitation tinder consideration and may
decide to accept It for the value the
experience would ho to him In collecting
and arranging an exhibit from this
county for the 1W5 Fair.
LET THE MAJORITY BE LARGE.
Every Republican Should See That En
tire Precinct Vote Is Polled.
In the words of the street, there will
lie "nothing to It" In the November
election In Oregon hut the vote-connt-Ing
to ascertain the slxe of the majority
for Honsevelt and Fairbanks. What Is
true of the Stale Is equally true of
Clackamas county In which there are
many Democrats who will vote for the
Itepubllcnn standard hearers and the de
finitely defined policies for which they
stand.
Every loyal Republican in every pre
cinct In the county should not only go
to the polls himself on November Sth.
hut he should see that every Republi
can vote in his precinct Is cast as well.
that the majority may be decisive and
without precedent. Precinct pride should
suggest the getting out o fa full vote.
Commenting along this line the New
berg Graphic says:
"For the Indifferent voter who thinks
Oregon will go Republican anyway, nnd
for the voter who is appealed to by other
than purely pariotic sentiments, there
is plenty of food for reflection between
now and November Sth. A thirty thou
sand Republican majority would mean
for Oregon more river and harbor Im
provements, more internal Improvements
In general, more favorable legislation,
than would an Indifferent majority. The
President has been a gifat friend to
Oregon In furthering and guaranteeing
the Interests of the Lewis ft Clark ex
position. Will Oregon show her gratl
tudp in a substantial manner? If so,
she will stand In direct line for more
favors In the future."
WHAT MIGHT TAKE PLACE.
Friendly Relations Between O. W. P. and
S. P. Companies Provokes Comment.
The Interest thul Is being manifested
by officials of the Oregon Water Power
ft Railway Company for the passage of
the perpetual franchise ordinance In fa
vor of the Southern Pacific Company
by the Oregon City council la considered
to be not without algnlflcance to some
Oregon City people who discuss their
theories as to the real motive of the un
usually friendly relations existing be
tween the two corporations.
While the Southern Pacific franchise
ordinance has been under consideration
by the members of the council It Is
claimed by these Inquisitive Individuals
that there has not been held a meeting
at which some prominent official of the
O. W. P. Company has not been In at
tendance In the Interest of the ordi
nance. Another significant fact. It Is
claimed, is that two of the members of
the council who are regularly employed
by the street railway company are un
qualifiedly for a perpetual franchise.
These friendly relations have provoked
some comment as to the motives. There
is a belief among some citizens that In
event of the passage of the ordinance
the street railway company may acquire
Ihe right to extend a track through the
Third street underground crossing and
thence to Canemah Park, via the South
End road. This is the only feasible
route for reaching the company's pleas
ure resort and besides would afford a
splendid outlet to the Interior of the
county which the street car managers
have long been desirous of acquiring.
! establishing a side-track along
side the tracks of the Southern pacific
Company, it Is also reasoned that there
would be an abundance of room within
the limits of the proposed right of way
for the convenient Interchange of freight
between the two companies. It Is fur
ther claimed that there are grounds for
this theory In the fact that the railroad
company Insists on having Its proposed
additional sidetracks extend beyond the
point of the Intersection of Third street
with the South End road.
The conclusions above outlined are
M-rhui more theoretical than practi
cal. A hurried consideration of the prop
osition suggested in the foregoing, seems
to show that the theory Is not at all
feasible. The grade over the South End
road is too great for the successful
transportation of cars and. besides, the
width of the road is not sufficient to
construct a railway track and at the
same time reserve any space for a road
way.
WOULD PAY FOR THE BASKET.
An lowan. Formerly of Oregon City, Dis
covers Ho Has a Conscience.
One's conscience is a troublesome
thing. Evidence of Its disturbing qual
ities are revealed every day. For In
stance, the Enterprise this week re
ceived a letter from M. A. Klrby. of
Mount Ayr, Iowa, who after a lapse of
eight years, is desirous of reimbursing
the owner for the value of a basket that
he obtained from a tramp In this city.
In his letter KJrl.y relates that while
living at Oregon City eight years ago,
he made an exchange with a trump by
which he received a good basket in re
turn for some food. He afterwards
leame1 that the basket had been stolen
from (iladstone Park and states that he
made an effort to locate the owner nnd
have the basket returned, but In this he
was unsuccessful. Since going to Iowa.
Kirby declares his conscience has been
troubling him on the grounds that he
did not search as diligently as he should
have done In ascertaining the owner.
He now asks that the owner of the
basket furnish him with a discriptlon of
the missing article, which has been worn
nut and discarded, and he will remit the
full value of the basket to the great re
lief of a much troubled conscience.
CLACKAMAS AGAINST THE WORLD.
Young Heifer Raises a Pig for Which
Great Attachment Is Formed.
J. H. Wnlfer. a leading farmer of
Needy. Clackamas county, reports an un
usual instance of animal attachment at
Ids farm.
Early In Ihe Summer one of a litter
of young pigs began sucking a young
Jersey heifer that was then less than a
year old. The practice was continued
hy the iMiiker until It finally abandoned
its mother and received Its nourishment
entirely from the heifer which yielded a
Mow of milk. Mr. Wolfer says that the
pig began Its relations with the heifer
while the animals were allowed the free
dom of the iKirnyard. the remarkable
search for nourishment being made
when the heifer was lying on the ground.
The porker his now attained such a
growth that '. is enabled to receive its
food while standing as would a calf.
Another surprising result is that the
young pig outweighs by twenty pounds
any other one of the litter. So unusual
s the strange attachment that the heifer
bellows and otherwise creates a disturb
ance If It is not allowed to feed the pig
at regular Intervals. In order to pre
serve its value as a milch cow, Mr.
Wolfer regularly milks the heifer when
the product Is not taken by the pig.
MAY HAVE PUBLIC BUILDING..,
Government Officials at Washington In
quire as to City's Needs.
Postmaster Randall a few days ago
received from the office of the govern
ment's stiervising architect at Wash
ington. D. C. a letter Inquiring as to
the amount of space that Is now occu
pied by the Post Offlce and the Land
Office nnd asking the amount of rent
that is being paid for the quarters so
occupied.
This Is considered locally to be an In
dication that the government authori
ties at Washington are investigating the
nctual needs of a government building
at this iJ.ice, Congressman Hermann
having Introduced a bill In Congress
providing for a sufficient appropriation
for such a building.
Dining IIT- campaign befi-re the June
lection It will he remembered that Con
gressman Hermann pledgtd his Oregon
City audience that In event of his elec
tion, he would work with the other mem
lers of the Oreogn delegation and do
his very best to secure the passage of
his bill providing for a pubfce building
at this place.
DID NOT TAKE ITALL
XPERT COMPLETES EXAMINATION
OF COUNTY RECORDS.
A Fsw Clerical Errors are Discovered but
No Evidence Found of 14,
000 "Discrepancy."
According to the report that has been
filed with the county court by Mr. Lee.
of Portland, who recently "experted" the
books of the present county officials, the
courthouse Is still In Clackamas county
and Ihe fixtures therein remain undis
turbed, having not been annexed by the
present Incumbents. There Is also noth
ing In the report confirmatory of the
charge so Industriously circulated last
June that a discrepancy of $1 1.000 or anf
other amount exists In any of the de
partments at the court house.
Several clerical errors were found by
Mr. Iee and reported to the county
court. The records In the different de
partments were found to be kept In a
satisfactory manner although the sys
tem employed In some of the offices
was found to be cumbersome and con
ducive to the making of mistakes such
as those evported. Recommendations
were made to the court In connection
with the report and all will be taken up
and considered at the regular meeting
of the court In November.

Barlow during the Fair.
HOW TO PRESERVE FRUIT JUICES.
Result of Experiment Mads at Corvallia
Agricultural College.
Experiments by Prof. Pemot at the
college have evolved a method by which
cider and kindred beverages may be kept
sweet for a period of years. Prune Juice
In a sweet state, put up three years ago
was opened the other day and was found
to Is? In as perfect a state of preserva
tion as the day It went Into the bottle.
Cider, kept for a less period, but long
enough to determine that It can be pre
served tif a man's life time If desired. "
and was likewise found to be sweet and
as pleasant to the taste as the day It
was put up. The method prevents any
ferment whatever, and haves the apple
Juice or prune Juice In exactly the same
state as when It came out of the fruit.
For carrying out the preservative pro
cess, bottles or glass vessels capable of
being hermetically sealed, are required,
and leyond this there is ho expense ex
cept the labor, and accordingly the pro
cess Is within the reach of all who desire.
With cider apples rotting under the
trees or selling at J cents per bushel,
the process ojens a way for converting
that which Is now a waste Into a means
of much profit. An Industry' fr the
manufacture and preservation of sweet
cider for the market by the plan, would
undoubtedly develop Into a business of
large proortions. California has been
enriched from the sale of the Juice of
her grains, and Oregon by sale of the
Juice of her apples as sweet cider could
put by a handsome profit annually.
Prof. Pernot's method of preservation
of cider is as follows:
"As elder comes from the press, it is
filtered through asbestos, or any other
material which will remove all the pum
ace that is held in suspension, so that
after bottling there will lie no sediment.
"After filtering, the cider is Immedi
ately placed in clean bottles, and corks
placed loosely on top. the bottles are
then put in a steam chest and steam
turned on until the contents of the bot
tles register a temperature of lti degrees
This heat is mainttained for fifteen min
utes, the steam is then turned off and
allowed to cool down without opening
the door. Twenty-four hours after
wards they are again steamed, and
twenty-four hours after that the opera
tion is repeated for the last time; while
the bottles are still hot. they are tightly
corked, and after cooling In the steam
chest the corks are dipped In hot canning
wax which finishes the sealing.
"Cider and other fruit Juices may be
preserved in the same way and used to
an advantage in the preparation of many
delicacies for the table as well as being
used as a beverage." Corvallls Times.
"Did Not Care If It Did Dio." The
other evening (lining a drenching rain a
woman, carrying a young babe In her
arms, was observed standing on the
depot platform without even the meagre
protection of an umbrella. The child
was wrapped In a thin garment and was
noticably suffering from exposure. It's
clothing being saturated with the rain
A woman witness suggested to the In
different mother that the child be taken
within the waiting room where there
was a lire, but she made the unusual
response: "I do not care, It Is going
to die anvwav." The Interested witnea
volunteered and received the child which
was taken into the waiting room and
made comfortable until the arrival of
the train. The name of the unnatural
mother wus not learned.
