ENFORCE THE LAW.
Various reports, each contradictory
in the main of the oihers, nave been
published regarding the state's fish
ladder at the Willamette Falls in this
city. The result Is that the public is
in a perplexed state of mind and is
not informed as to the actual condi
tions. For his own information and
for the further purpose of satisfying
himself as to the reliability of some
of the reports that have been publish
ed the writer personally visited the
fish ladder one day last week.
. Regardless or reports to the con
traxy, the fish ladder, which was con
structed economically and strictly
according to the plans which were
approved by the state authorities, is
a success in enabling hundreds of
salmon to reach the upper Willamette
and its tributaries. Statements to the
contrary have been given out and pub
lished, but these were actuated purely
by political motives with a view to be
littling the work of the present state
fish warden and the men who labored
faithfully and honestly in the building
of the fish way. But the state must
make additional improvements to fa
cilitate the ascent of the falls by the
salmon. A means of reaching the up
per river over the wier, recently con
structed by the Willamette' Pulp &
Paper Company to the south' of the
main falls, must be provided for the
fish, who under present conditions,
following a sudden rise in the river,
find, themselves lost from the main
channel and imprisoned in pools out
side of the main channel where they
must die with the receding of the
river. With this done, the work of
the state will have been finished and
salmon in countless numbers . will be
enabled to get over the falls at all
seasons of the year.
But while this subject is being dis
cussed, there is another phase of the
situation that should be noticed. It
is a notorious fact that the state laws,
regulating fishing, have been flagrant
ly violated at Oregon City this spring.
Especially is this true at the falls and
in the immediate vicinity of the state's
fish-way. A strict enforcement of the
laws will accomplish infinitely more in
promoting the salmon industry in this
state than will the policy of everlast
ing fault finding and knocking.
The reported taking of several hun
dred fine. Chinook salmon at the Falls
a short time ago from a single pool
where it was explained the fish, hav
ing been shut off from the main body
of the river, had died, sounded fishy
at the time. The truth of the matter
is those fish were dynamited and an
Oregon City fisherman, who is among
those so willing to censure those who
were associated with the building of
the fish ladder, was seen to light from
his cigarette the fuse that was re
sponsible for the deadly explosion that
followed. Fishing is tolerated within
the restricted distance of the fish lad
der during the day and goodness only
knows what takes place during the
night under the cover of darkness.
Of course it is all right to find fault
with the fish ladder, charge that it is
not a success, that it was improperly
constructed, etc, but it might be just
as well to consume a little more time
in seeing to it that the state fish laws
are more generally regarded. By so
doing, the salmon will be given a
chance to escape the many nets and
possibly more of them will reach the
contrivance that has been provided
for reaching the upper river.
o
River for the reason that the Willam
ette Valley fruit is grown without ir
rigation of any kind. But while we
have the quality, we appear a little
slow in advertising the fact There
should be perfected an organization
of the fruit growers of Clackamas
county for the single purpose of pro
ducing and marketing only the best
In so doing a reputation, even superi
or to that of Hood River people, will
be acquired. We have the quality and
the quantity of the .fruit, now we want
an organization through which this
product can Je marketed more profit
ably.
The initial step' in this direction has
been taken by the Oregon City Board
of Trade which has appointed a com
mittee to manage the details of or
organizing a county Horticultural So
ciety. If you are a fruit grower, in
terest yourself in the proposed organ
ization and give tc Clackamas county
the credit that is due for producing
the best that is in the way of berries
and other fruits.
o
LAND "OFFICE REMOVAL.
If influential petitions are of much
worth, the Oregon City Land Office
will never be removed from this city.
A more representative number of
signers to a petition were never se
cured than appear on the petitions
that have been 'so thoroughly circu
lated by Mr. Bruce C. Curry, of this
city, in the different counties const!
tuting the Oregon City Land District.
Every state official readily signed the
petitions which also include the names
of practically every county official in
the Willamette Valley together with
the names of hundreds of the most
prominent and representative citizens
of the District.
There is lacking a reason for the
proposed change. Besides, there is
absolutely no demand for it. There
is no evidence anywhere of a petition
being circulated asking that the office
be taken to Portland. Petitions, re
monstrating against the scheme of
Secretary Hitchcock and some of the
special agents, have been unanimously
signed by the people in every county
of the Oregon City Land District
They are certainly the people to be
consulted. They are the ones who are
directly interested. There is no de
sire for a change by these people who
are entirely satisfied to allow the of
fice to remain at Oregon City.
in view of these facts, it certainly
appears, that when the petitions have
been presented to President Roosevelt,
it may be expected that the order of
removal will be rescinded.
AT THE MERCY OF THE MOB.
A HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Through organization alone can the
best results be obtained. This is no
more true of the consumer than the
producer. Who has not heard of the
fame of the Hood River strawberry
and the famous red apple of that sec
tion? But how was this reputation
acquired? By organization of the pro
ducers. The result is that a reputa
tion has been built up for Hood River
products that extends even to Chica
go. In fact the Easterner never men
tions Oregon without mentioning in
the same breath "Hood River, that
great strawberry country."
The berry product of Clackamas
county . is superior to that of Hood
It is safe to say that no other im
portant town in the United States
would allow for twenty-four hours the
outrages which have been perpetrated
every day for more than two weeks
in Chicago. Destruction of property
and obstruction of business are mix
ed up with riot and murder in every
day's orgies. A mayor who is a cow
ard or a demagogue, or both, watches
these proceedings with stupid stolid
ity while his city is losing millions of
dollars in trade every day, and while
it is losing a credit for order and san
ity which is worth even more to it
than the immediate money loss which
is entailed. A chief of police who is
an incapable and a rabble sympathizer
or both, declares In the midst of these
outrages that he has the situation
well in hand. Mayor Dunne refuses
to call out the militia for fear that
this use of force will harm his so
cialistic and anarchistic fad for the
municipal control of the street rail
ways and other public interests. Chief
of Police O'Neill declines to let the
police ride on wagons of the employ
ers lest he be accused of showing par
tiality to the business' conservative
and law-abiding element of the city,
and is thus, intentionally or uninten
tionally, giving aid and comfort to the
worst mob that has disgraced Chicago
since the Haymarket anarchist out
break of 1886.
This is the spectacle which the
country sees in its second largest city.
Two millions of people are at the mer
cy of a mob of a few thousands, in
cited by a strike of a few hundreds.
In the greatest town on the American
continent outside of New York, there
is a complete paralysis of authority.
The men who are technically in
charge of its affairs and who are paid
what is presumed to be fairly good sal
aries for doing the "work assigned . io
them, have apparently surrendered
their functions to a handful of law
breakers. A mayor possessing even
the most rudimentary qualifications
for his post could have stopped this
reign of teror in a day. A head of the
police who had any of the attributes
which are called for by a man in his
position in a crisis of this sort could
have crushed this insurrection against
the city authority, and done it so com
pletely and so effectively that the feat
would be a deterrent on lawbreakers
in that city for all future time.
Gov. Deneen is appealed to by hun
dreds of Chicago business men to call
out the troops. In the absence of a
request of that sort from Mayor Dunne
the governor is naturally loth to act
Dunne not only refuses to ask for
troops, but he says they are not nec
essary. '
The men at the head of the Chicago
city government are responsible for
the enforcement of law and the pres
ervation of order in their town, and
if they are unable or unwilling to do
this they, ought to be deposed. -In
the meantime food and fuel are. ad
vancing in price and millions are
made to suffer for the gratification of
the evil propensities or the vanity of a
few lawbreakers. If Chicago at the
present moment were fairly represen
tative of the entire country and em
phatically it Is not then popular gov
ernment in the United States would
be a sham and a crime. St. Louis

A COUNTY FAIR.
There is no agency that does more
for a community in may ways than
the county fair. Such an institution
is needed in Clackamas county. It
could be made self-supporting. Such
competitive collections ' of farm stock
and products do much towards en
couraging the production of better
blooded animals and the best varie
ties of grain, vegetables, etc. Farm
ers take much pride in producing the
best stock and growing superior pro
ducts and there is nothing that pro
motes this good-natured rivalry more
than the annual display of these pro
ducts in competition.
The Enterprise has urged the hold
ing of a county Fair for some time
and is pleased to note that public
sentiment is becoming interested in
the project.

A special "good roads" train Is en
route to Portland, Oregon, from Chi
cago, it being in charge or govern
ment experts and the project is under
the joint auspices of the National
Good Roads Asociation and the North
ern Pacific and Burlington railroads..
The train will stop from one to two j
days at about half a hundred places
en route and efforts will be made to
organize several good roads associa
tions. The road specialists will be at
the Lewis & Clark Fair for some time
for the purpose of creating interest
in the good highway movement

A PROBABLE EXCUSE. '
I call special attention to the following; list of Teas. In buying I look more to k.
fine cup quality than style and I guarantee mv Teas to cive entire satisfaction. Take.
j fired. I will admit that I ha
at
which are the best the Arata sun-dried regular or basket L.
have an object in savine4his and a very p-ood one too. Let
us see what it is. In the first place Arata teas are grown in the best tea district of t.
4 japan and teas grown in this special district bring higher prices than do teas grown in
jj any other district. It may be that second or even third crop teas look nearly as well J.
as those of the first crop, but they do not possess the same flavor and true cup quality.
Let this fact stand out above all else Arata Teas are first crop teas, they are always
reliable, you will never have the best Japan tea until you order the Arata, price, per lb.
