FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1905.
LET'S ALL CELEBRATE. '
A three days' programme of un
surpassed interest and attractive
ness has been provided by the com
mittee in charge of the Firemen's
Tournament and Fourth of July
celebration to be held at Oregon
City July 3-i. Inclement weather
alone, will prevent one of the most
notable celebrations of Independ
ence Day that was ever held in the
Willamette Valley.
We should observe the day in a
spirit of reverence and a full ap
preciation of what the anniver
sary means. But wJiile we are cel
ebrating, let us not become uneces
sarily boisterous. Let the celebra
tion and its attendant demonstra
tions be strictly sane. Discard the
giant fire cracker and other heavily
charged explosives. They are a
menace to a successful celebration
and are not only a source of great
and unexpected danger to the per
son handling them but to the inno
cent bystander as well. We hope
the poiice force will see to it that
the city ordinances regulating the
use of these explosives is strictly
enforced during the three days' cel
ebration next week.
A VALUABLE INSTITUTION.
If there is one local institution
that is more valuable than any other
to the people of Oregon City and
Clackamas county, to say nothing
of the entire Northwest, it is the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua As
sociation. The Twelfth Annual As
sembly of this Chautauqua Associ
ation will be held at Gladstone
Park, near this city, July 11-23.
A programme of exercises, exceed
ing in value any other before offer
ed the people of the state, has been
provided by the energetic Board of
high taritT, if vou want to see tar-
in, come to Mexico. About the
trusts, I am ready to trust Teddy
with that. One thing about . the,
Mexican laws I like is this, though,
is a protection to their labor. No
corporation can be formed for the
operation of any business, railroad,
merchandise, factory or anything
else unless a clause is inserted that
ninety per cent of the labor em
ployed in the operation of this bus
iness must be the native labor ot
Mexico. If the United States had
such a law I believe it would be for
the best. If vou look over uearlv
all our labor troubles, and strikes,
it is the Anarchistic element of Da
goes, Fins and Russians and Greeks
that generally cause our trouble.
But with all "this, I am not finding
fault with the dear old U. S.
"I want to see the Coast towns" of
Mexico before I tro back. We have
been in almost all the cities in the
interior, and have seen what thev
call all their great antiquities, some
of their richest mines, and their
best agricultural country, but I
have not found anvthinr that 1
think would induce me to stav here
yet. The laboring men get three
bits, or thirty-seven cents a day. and
l-of ."r, ' 1
.uciitau money, wcicu
makes their wages seventeen cents
a day, and yet it costs you a great
deal more to live here than it "doe
id the U. S. Sounds funnv, don't
it?"
LAND OFFICE GOES TO PORT
LAND. In the removal this week of the
Oregon City Land Office to Port
land one finds convincing proof in
the old saying which suggests the
locking of "the barn after the horse
is stolen. No onnosition wns nfTor.
ed by the people of this city until
ine iact was officially announced at
Washington that the change in lo
cation would be made. And it is
possible that no intervention on the
Dart Of the Tieonlp nf thp distrinf
4 I f- V V V" A
could have defeated the plans of the
. . i r.
powers mat ne, put tne situation was
deservinz of an effort. It mav 1
that the President and Secretary of
the Interior contemplate a consoli-
aation ot one or more of the Land
Districts in the state with establish
ed headquarters at Portland where
tne omcial business may be handled
with greater dispatch and conven
ience. In that event, onrwxsirirm in
j l .w
the proposed removal could but have
oeen iruitiess.
But the lesson to be deducted is
that concerted effort is requirad of
re
live service, although ordinarily th;'
results of the efforts of the commit
tee would warrant the cancellation
of official orders of even greater im
portance. But the oxerieuee
should prove a profitable one and
in the future it in wife to assume
that a lock will be placed on the
stable door before the horse is stolen.
There are many openings here for
institutions of various kinds. Prin
cipal among those is a creamery,
the demand for which increases
with the rsnid crowth of the dairv
industry of this section. There is
also needed a cannery as a means of
providing for the producer a more
profitable market for the largo and
l . . V
incomparable iruit crop ot this part
of the Valley. These, and other
needed enterprise's, cau be readily
secured through the Oregon City
Board of Trade ami the co-operation
of the people of this city. lA't'
get some of them.

DEGENERA TE DEMOCRA CY.
Present day conditions in the
Democratic parh find many ilh's-
trations in current politics. But
none other is ouite so striking or
significant as that afforded in Mas- i
sachusetts, in the refusal of Gov. i
Douglas to stand for a renomina-
tion at the hands of that partv. ;i
Massachusetts, let it be remember- J
ett, was an oasis in the howling
Democratic desert of last year. In
the w reck of matter and "crush of
worlds. Massachusetts raised in
echo of old border wars, and Doug
las was the cry. A remarkable
thing had happened in that state,
which was found to have given
Theodore Roosevelt, as the candi
date of the Republican party on its
pianorm aim its historic record for
