ONE OF OUR NEEDS.
There is ample room at Oregon City
for a number of enterprises. If one
Is needed any more than another It
Is a creamery. There are few towns
the size of Oregon City, located as It
is in the midst of a section that is
especially adapted to dairying, that
does not have a creamery. There is
a good field here for such a plant and
the Board of Trade will be rendering
the people here a great service if
a creamery can be secured. As this
county becomes settled with new com
ers from the Eastern states, Oregon
City is bound to grow and with its
growth will come an increased de
mand for the products ot the farm.
Besides, there are many m us, who
relish a drink of delicious butter milk
at more or less frequent intervals.

LET'S HAVE
A SANE
TION.
CELEBRA-
It is to be hoped that the authori
. ties will strictly enforce the city or
dinances respecting the use of explo
sives in connection with the three
days' demonstration in this city July
3-5 next The promiscuous use of ex-
. plosives that are generally consider
ed indispenslble to a genuine cele-'
oration, is dangerous to the person
handling them to say nothing of the
innocent bystander. Lets demon
strate that a rousing celebration can
be had without spending all of our
money for fireworks. In diseasing
this same subject, a recent issue of
the Ladies Home Journal contained
the following:
"In about five weeks we shall reach
another Fourth of July, and the Jour
nal earnestly wishes that parents
might give a little forethought to the
present method of celebrating the
day. Why must we go on, year after
year, and make the day a practically
a day of terror and what is infinitely
worse, a day of death and casualties?
Each year a longer list of killing,
maiming and burning confronts us.
Take such a single list as this, sum
ming up one year's deaths and injur
ies: T)ied of lockjaw caused by Injur
ies 406
Died from other injuries 60
Totally blinded 10
Number who lost one eye 75
Arms and legs lost 54
Number who lost flflgers 174
Number otherwise injured 3670
Total number of casualties in
the United States 4449
Where is the sense in this sort of
thing? It is perfectly proper that the
young should want to celebrate the
anniversary of the nation's independ
ence, and there is no need that this
pleasure should be denied them. But
is it necessary to sacrifice sight, limb,
hand and life to inculcate a spirit of
patriotism in the youth of our land?
No patriotism is worth the snap of
a finger that is taught In noise and
frenzy. Yet each Fourth of July we
go on either directly assisting our
children in this barbarous celebra
tion of the day, or allowing them to
Handle the deadly explosives which
with each season are being manufac
tured with the single idea of making
a greater amount of noise, and, of
course, a corresponding amount of
personal danger. Firecrackers have
become larger and larger, dynamite
has been substituted for gunpowder
in their manufacture anything for a
noise, and anything, apparently to in
crease rather than lessen danger. And
this year will In all likelihood, be no
exception to the intensification of this
noise and danger element.
The greatest elements of danger
have been found to lie in these three
explosives:
First The toy pistol, which shoots
blank cartridges;
Second The toy cannon;
Third The giant firecracker, or the
"cannon cracker", as It is called.
The blank cartridge used in the
average toy pistol is made of a mix
ture of powder, clay and earth, and
in this combination has been found
what is called the "tetanus" or lock
jaw germ. The pistol is so construct
ed that it is easy of discharge while
the child Is loading It, since the pres
sure in the trigger is made particu
larly easy to respond to a child's
strength. In the wadding and in the
powder used in the toy cannon, the
fatal germ is also found, and likewise
the paper which envelopes the giant
cracker. It is through this lockjaw
germ that the largest number of
deaths occur, and the death is a fear
ful one.
promptly exposed and thrust aside by
the Judge, and justice for the people
as well as for the accused was rend
ered certain.
Judge Bellinger would have presid
ed over the trial of Senator Mitchell,
Representative Herman and the other
prominent personages who were
charged with complicity In the land
frauds. Many big men in the North
west have been involved In those
swindles, and a trial before this judge
would havo been sure to revenl the
truth, no matter who the truth would
hit. It will be hard to get a man In
Bellinger's place who will be able to
do Bellinger's work. The deceased
Jurist had gained a reputation in con
nection with these cases which has
made his name known favorably to
all his countrymen.
President Roosevelt, Secretary
Hitchcock and Attorney General
Moody have done excellent work In
connection with the land fraud revela
tions. The chief praise for these ex
posures belongs to the secretary. He
has performed his part quietly but
very effectively. No big boasts have
been made by him, but he has Inspir
ed his agents to an energy, a vlgi
lance and an intelligence which de
serve high commendation. It is to
be hoped that some acceptable person
will be obtained to do the work of
prosecuting the offenders which Bel
linger would have performed had he
lived. The Portland Oregontan says
that "Judge Bellinger's was at this
time the most valuable life In Ore
gon." His successor needs to be
man who will have his knowledge of
these cases, and at the same time have
his ability, his impartiality and his
courage. The task of finding such a
man will naturally be hard. St. Louis
Globe Democrat
WEATHER FOR JUNE.
SPECULATORS ARE SHUT OUT.
State land officials are exceedingly
well pleased by the decision of the
secretary of the interior to the effect
that the state can select Indemnity
land for all state school lands Inside
forest reserves. While the depart
ment has held that the state may se
lect indemnity land for both surveyed
and unsurveyed sections, the state
will have little opportunity to select
indemnity on surveyed sections for
the reason that these sections were
bought by speculators before the state
land board learned that the govern
ment proposed to create the reserves.
This decision gives the state .40,000
acres of valid forest reserve base in
the Wallowa reserve, and so far as
known this is available for use at
once. The state's price for indem
nity lands is 5 per acre. While the
dispatch from Washington did not so
state, it is assumed that school sec
tions cannot be used as base by any
one except the state, so that those
who bought up the school sections in
the proposed Blue Mountain reserve
will fail in their plan to use those sec
tions as base. There is some question
whether the state could use these sold
sections as bastif the sales should be
canceled. The reason why the state
can use school sections as base while
Individuals cannot, is that the act ad
mitting Oregon to the union secures
to the state the 16th and 36th sections
of land or Indemnity therefor if these
sections have been disposed of, but
the lieu land act under which indi
viduals have used school lands as
base, has been repealed.

If the President sees fit to appoint
Judge McBride to succeed Judge Bel
linger on the Federal bench, his choice
will give satisfaction to as large a
number of people In Oregon as could
possibly be satisfied in such a mat
ter. Not only is this true, but, and
what is far more important, he would
place upon the bench a judge who can
be relied upon to consult the law, and
the law alone, In rendering decisions.
In some respects Judge McBride
stands alone. His career has been one
of unbroken success, and he owes his
success not to any faction, but to the
great confidence which the people of
this great district have acquired In
him during long years of public ser
vice as prosecuting attorney and as
judge. So strong has this become
that there is no longer any opposi
tion to his contluance upon the bench,
and people of all parties unite to do
him honor. He possesses an eminent
degree the judicial temperment, and
decides each case deliberately, dis
passionately with regard to the rights
of all and with an earnest desire to
present to the Jury the law in the.
simplest and most easily understood
phraseology. There are few Judges
whose decisions have been less fre
quently overruled by the Supreme
court; and In the higher positions of
Federal Judge, it is safe to say he
woud pursue the same course that he
has upon the bench of this circuit, and
that is all that Is necessary to secure
justice, so far as justice Is obtainable
by forms of law. St. Helens Mist.

ANOTHER OPINION.
CRISIS IN THE LAND FRAUDS.
The death of United States District
Judge Bellinger, before whom most of
the Oregon land fraud cases were
pending, presents a difficult problem
to President Roosevelt. Judge Bell
inger's course in the examinations
thus far had shown him to be abso
lutely devoid of prejudice, and also to
have had a firm grasp on the situa
tion. The technicalities which had
been introduced by ingenious lawyers
to shield the accused persons were
Mllwaukie is a little place In Clack
amas county, between Oregon City
and Portland. There is said to be a
proposition to make it a gambling re
sort. The mayor of Oregon City is
righteously Indignant, and asserts
that If the county permits gambling
at Milwaukle, he will take measures
to make Oregon City an open town.
That would be moving backward, and
would certainly be a mistake. Clack
amas county authorities may be weak
or mercenary, but It is not clear that
that would justify Oregon City in Its
threatened action. Better combat
the county authorities, or fight the un
lawful evil direct. Revenue obtained
from bad characters driven out of
Portland would surely be "tainted"
money. Grants Pass Observer.

Furious Fighting.
"For seven years," writes Geo. W.
Hoffman, of Harper, Wash., "I had a bit
ter battle with chronic stomach and liver
trouble, but at last I won, and cured my
diseases, by the use of Electric Bitters.
I unhesitatingly recommend them to all,
and don't Intend In the future to be
without them in the house. They are
certainly a- wonderful medicine, to have
cured such a bad case as mine." Sold,
