Entered at the postofflee at Oregon
City, Oregon, as second-class matter,
Jured party compensated. Because of
unguarded fires that have been caro
lessly started in timbered districts,
there has resulted during the last few
years extensive damage to private
property to say nothing of the serious
loss to the timber wealth of Clackamas
county.
The verdict in tho case referred to,
if allowed to stand, will have a good
effect in causing farmers to bo more
cautious in starting and guarding fires.

One Oregon City saloon man, plead'
lng guilty to an information charging
him with selling liquor to minors, was
fined $50 in the circuit court the other
day. It was right that he should be
fined but this German was no more
liable to a fine than were others. An
other saloon man and the proprietor
of an Oregon City drug store, accord
lng to the statements of the lads on
whose reports Wind was indicted, al
so sold liquor to the same boys.
Did you ever count the words in a
column of ordinary newspaper print?
There are about two thousand words
In a column. Suppose you sit down
and write a thousand words in some
subject, and then another thousand
on another until you have written
eight or ten thousand. Try it and
see if it is right easy. Keep that
gait up for a month. Then chase a
local item all over town, and after
you hare gotten the facts all right,
condense them into a few lines an
hour's work that can be read in a few
Beconds. Do this for a dozen items
that seem insignificant after they are
printed, but which you know are im
portant; then have the items criti
cised and inaccuracies pointed out to
you when it is too late to correct
them. Ob, yes, it is easy. Guard.

THEY WILL DO IT, TOO.
TO THE WORK, TO THE WORK..
The Oregou City Hoard of Trade
has been permanently organized. A
bettor selection of officers could not
have been had. W. A. Huntley, the
president, is one of the city's most
enterprising men. He has always had
faith in Oregon City, its business and
manufacturing possibilities. A more
energetic secretary than J. U. Camp
bell could not have been found. The
other offices are filled by representa
tive business and professional men as
follows: C. H. Dye, first vice-presi
dent; E. O. Caufleld, second vice-pres
ident; and D. C. Latourette, treasurer.
The representative men of which
the membership Is composed and the
enthusiasm that is manifested are
grounds that Justify the conclusion
that the newly organized body will
not die the peaceful premature death
that was the fate of proceeding or
ganizations of this kind in Oregon
City. There is need for work and the
Enterprise hopes that the results may
be as helpful and satisfactory to Ore
gon City and its every interest as the
field of opportunity is large.

taxpayers of the county. A good be
ginning has been made towards wip
ing out the county's debt. A contin
uance of the present consorvnllvu
administration of county affairs and
the judicious application of the prun
ing knife in all departments will ac
complish the desired end the plac
ing of the county ou a cash basis.
The bulk of the taxes for the year
1904 having already been collected and
applied on outstanding warrants, tho
amount of warrants will increase
somewhat during the next six months
and before more tax money is avail
able for the cancellation of theso war
rants. But the fact remains, never
theless, that the aggregate of .the
county's obligations Is being slowly
but surely reduced.

A SOURCE OF LOCAL PROSPERITY
During the year ending in March,
the Clear Creek Creamery, a co-operative
institution located near this
city, manufactured and sold $18,000
worth of butter. In other words, the
product of this creamery amounted to
$1500 per month or $50 per day.
It Is Just these kind of institutions
that contribute very materially to the
prosperity of any community. This
creamery affords the farmers of the
Logan country a convenient place for
marketing their cream which was for
merly hauled to Oregon City and
shipped to Portland, entailing not only
much extra work but loss of time to
the producer whose remuneration was
not what it should have been

would certainly discontinue selling It on

DO NOT NEED THE BRIDGE.
FIRST BLOW IS STRUCK.
The initial blow in the civic Im
provement campaign in Oregon City
was struck last Friday night when the
unsightly shack on the river bank, re
cently vacated by a local Chinaman,
was burned on the order of Mayor
Sommer. This structure was for years
a disgrace to the city. The health of
the community was threatened by
reason of the filth that at all times
surrounded the building.
Let the good, work continue. Such
extreme measures are required in
only a few cases, but there Is need of
a vigorous campaign along this line.
We are pleased to note the substan
tial Interest that is being taken in the
situation by the Women's Club, the
members of which have already plan
ned for active participation in the
municipal house-cleaning. With the
unanimity of public sentiment that
exists in Oregon City for cleaning up
the city, positive results are assured.

A JUST VERDICT.
If Michael Keisecker actually start

on his part, spread to adjoining prem
ises and burned the home and crops
of Mrs. Cubbage, the jury in the cir
cuit court was justified in returning
a verdict for the plaintiff, if the dam
age resulted from a fire that was
started by others, an injustice has
been done Keisecker and the guilty
party should be made to re-imburse
Mrs. Cubbage to the amount of her
loss.

resulting from the setting of fires in

Semi-Weekly Journal and Enterprise
Ayers
The Logan correspondent to the
Enterprise in last week's issue con
tends that the building of a bridge
across the Clackamas rivpr nt partnnlone ear ,or ony 2.00.
is an improvement that is not general
ly desired. He states the situation in
this terse manner:
"It certainly looks as if the County
Court intends to build the bridge at
Barton. The people of Logan and
vicinity, generally, are opposed to the
bridge as it will be a very expensive
structure and will only accommodate
a very few interested land owners who
are anxious to boom their private in-1
terests at the expense of the taxpayers."
The effect of building this bridge J
ue iu uiveri irom uregon (Jity the
trade of Logan, one of the richest
farming sections in the county, and ;
take it to Portland via the bridge to
uarton, thence to the metropolis by
the O. W. P. system.
It is generally thought there are al
ready a suficient number of bridges !
across the Clackamas in this county !
but if anything in opposition to this
proposed improvement is to be of
fered, it should be done before the
construction of the bridge has begun.
It is a subject the Oregon City
Board of Trade might properly consid
er ana taKe such action as would
best serve the interests of the county.

The semi-annual reports of the
Clackamas county officers published
last week show a welcome improve
ment in the financial condition of the
county which has for years been car
rying a large indebtedness. According
to the report of Clerk Greenman, the
net indebtedness of the county on
March 31 last, was only $62,362.13.
On the same date a year ago, the In
debtedness of the county aggregated
$81,637.22. Six months ago the coun
ty's obligation's had reached the sum
of $107,227.40.

therefor than it is gratifying to the
