City, Oregon, as second-class matter.
FRIDAY, APRIL 14, , 1905.
The Land Office at Oregon City
has been ordered moved to Portland
in the near future. The principal
reasons given for the change are
economy and a more central loca
tion, but in this case figures seem to
lie. Rent is higher in Portland
than in Oregon ,City, and the bulk
of the land in the state not yet pat
ented is certainly just a few miles
nearer the latter city. The scheme
probably is to get the Land Office
officials in a place where they may
be watched by Joe Day. Lincoln

A PUBLIC NEED.
cent. And why so? Merely because
appropriations of an excessive and
burdensome character for the sup
port of several, so-called normal
schools Mere tacked onto the general
appropriation bill- arousing public
sentiment to that extent that the
entire measure is now being sub
jected to the referendum petitions
that are in circulation throughout
the entire state.
But who suffers for this sort of
legislation? Is it the legislator
who so deliberately votes away the
people's money? No. On the other
hand the man who really pays the
penalty is the employe at these state
institutions, who is earning from
$35 to $50 a month and is obliged
to stand for a 15 per cent discount in sources, which are not always found or
his warrant. At best these employes expected In newly settled communities,

It would be a great disappointment to
both teachers and pupils, who have la
bored so faithfully to prepare the ex
hibits, should it now be abandoned.
THE EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE.
The Educational Exhibit.
To Teachers and School Officers:
Inasmuch as the County Court and the
committee on county exhibit have defi
nitely decided that an educational ex
hibit to the Lewis and Clark Exposition
from this county. Is not a legitimate ob
ject for the disbursement of public funds,
the only course left open to .us is to col
lect the exhibit and arrange, it in the
Superintendent's office, hoping that the
county court or the executive committee
may find some way to provide funds
for installing It.
We should exceedingly regret to have
Clackamas County excluded from the ed
ucational exhibit, especially at this time,
when it behooves to bend our united
energies to the accomplishment of the
one object to show our Eastern visitors,
to the best advantage, all of the resources
of Clackamas County, not merely ma
terial resources, which are readily tak
en for granted, but also educational re-
receive no more than their services
are actually worth and it is on in
justice that they should be thus pun
ished for the log-rolling legislative
appropriations of a lot of scheming
politicians.
o
A MILLION NEW AMERICANS:
Existing conditions warranted the
action of the Clackamas Pomona
Grange in petitioning the City
Council for the installing of public
urinals in Oregon City. The request
is not to be considered as a joke or
a laughable matter. There exists
in Oregon City a growing need for
these urinals and it is to be regret
ted that the city's straightened cir
cumstances financially wftll likely
defeat favorable action by the Coun
cil on this subject at this time.
o
BRUSH UP !
Credit for inaugurating a civic
improvement movement in Oregon
City belongs to the energetic and
public spirited women of this city.
The time has arrived for some such
improvement in the conditions of
Oregon City and we are pleased to
see the women take the initiative.
They are entitled to the hearty co
operation of every citizen in their
efforts to clean up the city and place
it in its most presentable condition
before the opening of the Lewis &
Clark Fair. Get your broom and use
it effectively.
SCORE ONE FOR THE LADIES.
The stream of immigration, which
slackened a little last year, has
swelled again to a volume without
precedent. In February, 1905, the
arrivals were 67,116, against 33,-
967 for the same month in 1904,
and a similar rate of increase con
tinued through March. At that
rate we shall have over a million
immigrants in the calendar year, of
whom a third, if left to themselves,
will, stay in New York and two-
thirds in half a dozen Eastern states.
The Commissioner of Immigration
is trying to devise some means of
relieving this congestion and send
ing the new-comers where they are
needed and where they can have
some chance of developing into pros
perous citizens. Mr. Sargent pro
poses to attain this end by estab
lishing an exhibition hall at Ellis
Island,- devoted to displaying the
resources of the various states and
the opportunities they offer the set
tlers. The exhibits are to be fur
nished by the States and local com
mercial bodies and explained bv a
corps of guides. In this way the
immigrants will learn that there is
a considerable fringe of the United
States beyond Hoboken. As it is,
most of them land in a state of be
wildered and helpless ignorance, and
unless they have relatives to draw
them elsewhere they are likely to
settle down in the sweatshop and
pushcart region that first receives
them, and never know of the fuller
and freer life further west,

CENTENNIAL NOTES.
"Hit the Trail," is the slogan of 1905
The Lewis and Clark Exposition opens
June 1. You can hit the Trail every day
until October 15. '
Sculptors are hard at work putting
the finishing touches on heroic groups
and figures which will be placed about
the Lewis & Clark Exposition grounds.
A spur track is being built on the Gov
eminent peninsula at the Lewis & Clark
Exposition to facilitate the unloading of
exhibits consigned to the government
buildings.
Heliographic communication will be es
tablished between the summit of Mt.
Hood and the Lewis & Clark Exposition
grounds during the Centennial.
A. A. Glisson of the Fort Worth and
Denver City Railway is in Portland , and
says the "Lone Star" state will send
thousands to the Lewis & Clark Expo
sition.
A wild west show ' is announced for
the Trail. For participation in the at
traction bands of Indians are being as
sembled at Lawton, (O.T.). Geronimo,
the famous Appache warrior, will be one
of the aggregation.
When the women begin united
action for civic improvement some
thing is going to be done. They
are the real keepers of the homes
and when they say we want better
sidewalks, neater lawns, more flow
ers and shrubs and better ornamen
tation it shall be so. The Lewis &
Clark Club have begun the cam
paign and other organizations like
the Fortnightly Club, W. R. P.
League and fraternal organizations
among the women should join with
them in a general plan of activity
along this line. Score one for the
lacttes, let their good work find
hearty encouragement. Eugene
Register.
The entire history , of the West
does not furnish any parallel to the
remarkable immigration movement
which is now on towards Oregon.
Those who are in touch with the
conditions are astounded at the
movement from the Middle West to
the Pacific Coast. The influx into
Oregon may be accounted, for partly
through the Lewis & Clark Exposi
tion, though one great factor in in
ducing immigration is undoubtedly
the climate of the Pacific Coast.
California and Washington have
both been far better advertised than
Oregon, but now that the resources
and possibilities of this state have
been brought prominently before the
world, it is confidently expected that
the present movement is only indi
cative of a great population, not only
for Oregon, but for the other Coast
states as well. It is difficult to un
derstand why a land with so many
varied inducements should for so
long remain comparatively unset
tled; 1905 and 1906 will not only
see great changes on this Coast, but
the next ten years will probably see
the population of this entire region
doubled. William Bittle Wells in
Pacific Monthly.

"Why any one should worry about in
digestion," said the head clerk in Hunt
ley Bros. Co. drug store, "is hard for us
to understand.
."We have been selling Pepslkola for
several months now and in all our ex
perience we never knew a remedy to
give such universal satisfaction.

dyspeptics on the verge of despair for
years who to-day are cheerful and happy

and Pepslkola must be a remedy of
more than unusual merit for if Huntley
Bros. Co. had to refund the money to
very many dissatisfied customers they
would certainly discontinue selling it on
their own personal guarantee! Ask your
self if this is not true.
If you are thin, nervous,, worried and
in low spirits just cheer up and try a
25 cent box of Pepslkola on the drug
gist's say so and if it fails to give you
new nerve force, new ambition and new
energy you can get your money back
without any question or argument.
