OREGON CITY DAY.
Tomorrow, Saturday, June 10, will
be Oregon City day at the Lewis k
Clark Fair. While the day Is to be
shared with Astoria and Woodburn,
it is quite proper that the people of
this city have arranged a programme
of exercises separate and apart from
the official programme of the day.
It Is now up to the people of Oregon
City to make of the occasion a success.
Every resident of Oregon City and,
In fact, Clackamas county should
make It a point to attend the Fair to
morrow. He should not only attend
the exposition, but wear one of the
badges that has been printed. Let
others know that you are from Oregon
City, the leading manufacturing city
in the state, and located in the best
county In the state. Direct or accom
pany your friends to the Clackamas
county exhibit and show them what
we produce. Advertise the county.
Push the interests of this section and
don't be a knocker.
Remember, Saturday, June 10, Ore
gon City Day.
TIME TO DO SOMETHING.
kSMSSSSSaSSieSa
There has been said a great deal
locally about cleaning up the streets
and alleys and otherwise Improving
the appearance of the city. But, as
in other things, actions speak louder
than words.
Agitation for a municipal house
cleaning was started early In the
spring, giving ample time before the
opening of the Lewis & Clark Fair for
effecting the desired improvement,
But for some reason Interest in the
proposition seems to have lagged and
little if anything has been accomplish-.
ed. Some of the side streets in Ore
gon City would be considered a posi
live disgrace to a country village.
Many of these eyesores, opening off
of Main street as they do, cannot es
cape an inspection by the many vis
itors to this city.
Again, we suggest, let's take the
broom and sweep!
THE REVOLT THAT WON.
Philadelphia has the most obtuse
municipal conscience in America. It
takes more to open its eyes to its sins
and sufferings than is required in any
other city. But in the bottom of its
heart it is not so corrupt as it appears
to be. It has just shown that when its
grievance is great enough it can march
splendidly into action.
If the gas company had been con
tented with a moderate steal Phila
delphia would have shut its eyes and
done nothing. But a scheme to loot
the city of tens of millions of dollars
and fix high prices for gas upon
Philadelphians for two generations to
come was too much. Public opinion
arose with a roar that none of the
greedy looters had ever thought to
hear. The looters were frightened in
to submission.. Mayor Weaver, who,
after much doubt and struggle, put
himself at the head of the movement
to rescue the city, has become a popu
lar idol.
While its conscience is still keen
and clear, Philadelphia ought to take
account of its future. It must recog
nize that as soon as the excitement
has quieted the gas company and its
political allies will be hot on the trail
of the flesh-pots again. Next time the
company will be more cautious and
less ravenous, but by those very tok
ens all the more apt to win its point.
The safeguard of the city is not in
wild popular outbursts such as the
present, but in continuous hard work
for good government. .Philadelphia
should put its conscience in harness
and apply It against smaller thefts all
the time. Then only will it be secure
against the greater thefts that come
a long way apart.
If Philadelphia fails to draw the
lesson from its present experience it
will have only Itself to blame for Its
troubles to come. Chicago Record-Herald.
ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT.
The Portland Journal evidently feels
all swelled up. It has a (40,000 libel
suit on Us hands. C. E. Rumleln, mem
ber of the city council who has been
acquitted of the charge of accepting
a bribe In connection with the tele
phone franchise through his attorney,
C. E. S. Wood, has filed charges of
malicious and libelous publication on
the part of the Journal and considers
his reputation injured $40,000 worth.
Now watch Mr. Rumleln get a whole
lot of expensive legal experience and
none of the Journal's shekels. The
courts are not In the habit of mur.zl
Ing the press upon every, petty pre
text in these United States. That kind
of thing is a sole characteristic of
Russia. The American press, owing
to Its enterprise and aggressiveness,
may, like individuals, sometimes make
mistakes, but Is invariably fair and
reasonable enough to make the proper
amends if convinced of Its error.
The local newspaper of today Is the
friend and upbullder of the clean peo
ple everywhere. The reputable citi
zen has nothing to fear at the hands
of the press. On the contrary, the
present day newspaper aids and pro
tects the reputable community. It is
only evil-doers and law breakers that
need fear the sayings and Influences
of the press. They and they alone are
the ones who gain the injurious pro
tection of the ridiculous libel laws that
mar the statute books of a few of the
states and hamper the press in its
efforts to secure Justice and fair treat
ment for all classes of people. Rose
burg Plalndealer. .
There is a growing demand in West
ern Oregon for a variety of strawber
ries for canning which will prove more
satisfactory all around than any which
are now commonly grown. The great
er part of the canning berries grown
In Oregon are the old Wilson. This
is one of the oldest varieties of culti
vated berries and has many good
points, one of the most important of
which Is that it is a good canner. It
is not "every grower who can make a
success of growing the Wilson. In the
section east of ML Tabor some grow
ers are remarkably successful with
the Wilson, among whom Mr. H. J.
Mickelson is conspicuous. On the
other hand, Mr. James January, who
lives but a mile or so from Mr. Mickel
son and has quite similar land, finds
the Wilson a failure, though most of
the standard varieties do well with
him. Clark's Seedling may be consid
ered the standard of excellence as
a canning strawberry, but under ordl
nary Western Oregon conditions it
does not yield enough to be proflta-
ble. Mr. January ha3 made inquiries
in Michigan and finds that the War
field is the favorite variety for can
ning there. Mr. C. W. Swallow of
Oregon City, who has tested a number
of the varities grown in the United
States, has raised the Warfield for a
number of years and has a high opln
ion of it He places the Warfield first j
both for canning and for table use.
While it does not rank in size with
such varieties as Sharpless, Vick, Glen
Mary and Magoon, It ranks among the
most productive varieties which he
has grown, being exceeded only by the
Magoon, Glen Mary and Vick. Mr.
Swallow says that on his soil, which
is a heavy clay-loam hill land, the
Warfield is the best all-round straw
berry he has tried. Its season of
ripening is medium. Colonel Hofer,
of Salem, very highly recommends the
Ideal as a canning berry, but it has
not as yet given as good satisfaction
In other localities as in the vicinity of
Salem. Mr. Z. Mills has a seedling for
which he has much hope as a canning
strawberry, but has not yet suffic
iently tested it to enable him to make
any definite announcement Those
who may plant the Warfield should
notice that the plant does not require
as much room as the Magoon and
other varieties of the same type. Ore

SEtINQ IS BELIEVING.
It Is only too true that seeing Is bellcv-
Ing. The Clackamas county exhibit at
the 1805 Fair speaks for Itself In very con
vincing style but the mission of advertis
ing In the county can be fu ther promoted
by encouraging the personal Inspection by
the dubious Fair visitor from the East of
the lands from which the products are
grown. No other county Is In a bettor
position to do this than Is Cluckamiis
county. Its convenient location to Port
land makes It easy of access by street
car and the opportunity to Induce the
Fair visitor to make the trip Into Clack
amas county should not be overlooked.
Jus. H. Held, an aggressive horticul
turist of Mtlwaukie, has thrown hi farm
open to Inspection of Fair visitors and he
Is advertising the fact at his own ex
pense. Many of the best farms In the
county can be readily reached by street
railway. This Idea should be heartily en
couraged. Let's show the Easterner not
only what we produce but the land from
which our diversified products are produced.
Another commendable plan Is the gath
ering of a collection of views of some of
the many attractive farms In the county.
This could be attended to by the Oregon
City Board of Trade at not great expense
and the results would surety Justify the
expense and the efforts of making this
feature of the exhibit from this county.
This Is a golden opportunity for Clack
amas county and It behooves every pub
lic spirited cliisen to make the very mot
of the situation.

The defeat of Hon. George II. Wil
liams for Mayor of Portland to succeed
himself, by Dr. Harry Lane, the Demo
cratic nominee, was not entirely a sur
prise. Mayor Williams Is conceded by
all to be a man personally and politically
who is absolutely square, honest and up
right but It was evidently believed by a
majority of the voters that his adminis
tration was controlled not by the best
Interests of Portland and for that reason
alone he was defeated. The result of the
contest reveals a lack of confidence of
the people In the forces that were sup
posed to dominate the municipality. The
election and the steps that have been tak
en by such men as LaFollett, of Wiscon
sin; Folk, of Missouri; Deetian, of Illi
nois; and Weaver, of Philadelphia, may
be accepted as conclusive proof that there
Is a limit to popular endurance of official
corruption and crookedness. People have
the power through the ballot to rid them
selves of these conditions which they
will not always tolerate and recent events
appear to Indicate that they are exercis
ing tha,t right.

The unanimous indorsement by the
Clackamas County Bar Association of
Circuit Judge McBrlde who la recom
mended for appointment as United States
District Judge to succeed the late C. B.
Bellinger, is a deserved recognition of
Judge McBrlde's many years of faithful
and efficient service in the administration
of Justice In the Fifth Judicial District for
Oregon. Both as Prosecuting Attorney
and as District Judge, the every act of
Judge McBrlde has warranted the placing
by the people of the District he has so
capably served of "unquestioned faith
and trust In his honor, Integrity, and abil
ity." The appointment by President
Roosevelt of Judge McBrlde to fill this
Important office would certainly be a con
firmation of the wishes of the people of
the Fifth Judicial District as well as the
desire of many of the Judge's warm
friends throughout the state.
A Fearful Fate.
It is a fearful fate to have to endure
the terrible torture of Piles. "I can truth
fully say," writes Harry Colrcn, of Ma
aonvllle, la., "that for Blind. lllee-iins,
Itching and Protruding Piles, Hm klei's
Arnica Salve, Is the best euro made." Al
so best for cuts, brni and Injure. 2lc at

If there are any three producers In
Clackamas county who are deserving of
mention for the Interest they are taking
In the exhibit that is being made at the
Lewis & Clark Fair from this county,
those men are Jas. H. Reid, O. E. Frey
tag, and George LaZelle. Besides taking
an active part In the preliminary work
of organizing the county for the making
of an exhibit and rendering faithful ser
vice on several of the important commit
tees that were namd in that connection,
these gentlemen, together with a few
others, have been working diligently since
the exhibit was Installed at the Fair
Grounds to see to It that the display has
been kept fresh from day to day by re
plenishing the various samples of fruit
and vegetables from their own farms and
berry tracts, to the end that these pro
ducts appear fresh from the vines. The
success of the display from this county
depends on Just such energetic workers
and It is to be hoped that an equal In
terest In the exhibit will be evidenced on
the part of other producers as the Fair
progresses.
