NOT WANT-
The people of Oregon, by an over
whelmine majority, some time ago
went on record as being opposed to
a further endurance of . machine poli
tics and the maniuplation or puDiic
affairs by an organized gang ol con
scienceless exafter-politicians.
In proportion as was the vote in
the state on this subject, so was me
expression of the voters of Clackamas
county who by a decisive majority de
clared for the direct primary law.
And it is not inopportune to remark
right here that it might be well for
Clackamas county politicians to take
cognizance of the public sentiment on
this auestion.
Those in charge of the machine in
this county, - though professing to be
Inval supporters of and earnest be
lievers in the justness and fairness
of the provisions of the direct primary
law, for the enactment of which some
have even dared to appropriate the
credit, have already practically decid
ed unon a slate for the success of
which the saner is already hard at
work. Ostensibly these very same
immaculate politicians sincere, of
course, in their advocacy of the di
rect primary are acting in good faith,
but it is true nevertheless they have
laid schemes and formed such alli
ances as will surely result in thwart
ing the wishes of the people and per
petuate the powers that be in control
for another term of years.
At this time the Enterprise desires
to go on record as opposed to this
sort of thing.
Peace conferences are all right, but
the Republican manipulators of Clack
amas county had better get closer to
the people than they have been ac
customed to.
There was a time when two or three
dictators in this county named the
entire ticket. That power is vested
with the people direct and any attempt
to deprive them of that right may
be far-reaching in its consequences.
Of course, it is hard to let go of a
good thing. But it is a safe guess
that it would prove a welcome inno
vation in Clackamas county to have
candidates for office named by the
people for once. .Experience has gone
to show that certainly there could
be expected from such nominees as
much as the people have been given
by office-holders" who owe their places
and everything to a handful of poli
tical dictators -who have for years
been fooling the people of Clackamas
county to their own pecuniary gain.
The same crowd that for years has
manipulated the county conventions
in ts own interests and has in the
past practically dictated -every nomi
nation is now actively engaged in put
ting un a ticket in this county in the
formation of which it is not the in
tention that any one save the mem
bers of the crowd shall have the
slightest look-in.
Better drop the fire cracker before
it explodes. It is a dangerous explosive.
ities being provided, these visitors
were taken to various places of in
terest and inspected our manufactur
ing institutions, rich and productive
agricultural lands and were afforded
some idea of the possibilities of the
mineral deposits of this section of the
Northwest. ,
As a natural result, there will be
witnessed an unprecedented advent
of eastern people to this section of
the Coast from this time on. It is in
evitable and the people of Clackamas
county must arrange to interest and
secure for this county its just propor
tion of these prospective residents.
Oregon City is fortunate in having a
live Board of Trade which is already
doing a great deal for both the city and
the county. It is a creditable organi
zation, capable of doing a great deal
more and should be generously sup
ported and encouraged in the work to
be undertaken, all of which has for
its purpose the development of this
city and Clackamas county.
O
NOW FOR THE COUNTY FAIR.
Members of the committee that had
charge of the agricultural exhibit from
this county at the Lewis & Clark Fair
are this week packing up the display
preparatory to removing it to this One Ayer's Pill at bedtime insures

city. The perishable parts of the ex
hibit will be disposed. of at once, but
the rest of the display will be stored
away at the court house.
The exhibit from this county was
a creditable one lor the initial errort
by Clackamas to show its products in
competition with those of the other
counties of the states, many of which
have for years made a practice of
showing them either at district or
state fairs, something never before
undertaken by this county. The re
serve portion of the exhibit from
this county will form a splendid nu
cleus for a permanent exhibit from
this county at subsequent expositions.
It will form a creditable beginning
for a county fair. And that is what
Clackamas should have.
That such an institution would
prove not only a success, but a credit
was demonstrated on a somewhat
smaller scale this Fall by the Maple
Lane and Molalla Granges both of
which held successful agricultural
fairs.
We are glad to see this subject be
ing agitated by the Granges, for we
believe the resources of the county
and the enterprise and progressiveness
of the producers of this section are
ample to insure the holding of a rous
ing county fair every Fall. "With the
rapid settling up of this part of the
valley with new comers from the
East, there is .nothing that would
prove more educational and interest
ing to the new residents than the
annual exhibiting of the live stock
and agricultural products of the sec
tion in which they have become re
cent residents.

There exists a question of some
wonder among the people of Oregon
City and Clackamas county as to who
furnishes the inspiration for the poli
tical articles in the Portland Journal
from Oregon City, that show a yearn
ing for the nomination by the Repub
licans of Brownell for State Senator
while in the next breath it is asserted
that in event Brownell does receiye
the nomination the Democrats are rea
sonably certain to elect their own
candidate.
O
THE FAIR A SUCCESS.
In the successful termination of
the Lewis and Clark Exposition last
Saturday night, the people of the
state of Oregon scored a success.
From the standopint of exhibits, the
Exposition was all that could have
been expected. More naturally beauti
ful grounds never served for a Fair
site. The buildings were attractive
and the entertaining features were
above the average. Of course, there
will be offered some criticisms. But it
must be remembered that it is the
misfortune of every community, no
matter how superbly ideal its every
condition may be, to have its knock
ers. But the real benefits that will sure
ly follow the Fair have scarcely be
gun to be felt. Never before in its
history has Oregon received the help
ful advertising that was afforded
through the agency of the Lewis and
Clark Fair. Thousands of Eastern
people, attracted by the Fair and rea
sonable transportation rates, came to
the Coast and experienced an entire
change of mind as to this country, its
resources and possibilities from that
they entertained before. Weather

It does not require an expert mathe
matician to figure that except the
slaughter of Chinese Pheasants is pro
hibited in this state for a term of
years it will be but a short time until
this game bird will have been entire
ly exterminated.
For instance, there have been issu
ed in the state this year a total of
about 15,000 hunter's licenses. Figur
ing the success of each hunter on a
nominal basis of five birds, 75,000
pheasants may be considered a mini
mum estimate of this year's slaughter.
It is truethat this bird will not be
hunted by all the hunters who have
procured licenses for the reason that
the pheasant does not inhabit some
sections of the state. But it is be
lieved that the estimate as to the
slaughter is entirely within reason.
At mis rate it cannot pe long until
the Pheasant will be annihilated in
few short years. Some protection
hould be afforded this bird if its fur
ther propagation is to be encouraged
in the Valley.

SPECIMEN OF TARIFF RIPPING.
A Canadian commission has been at
work for some time preparing
scheme of legislation to regulate the
tariff schedules of the Dominion for
the next eight or ten years, and it is
expected to report by next spring. An
Ottawa correspondent remarks that,
with so many conflicting views all
through the country, the commission
has a difficult task to please all in
terests, and that the government will
be lucky if it does not offend every
body. A policy of . compromise is
probable and it Is predicted that the
new lay will not differ greatly from
that now in force, which lays general
tariff duties of about 35 per cent.
No doubt the preferential duties on
British goods will continue the reduc
tion of one-third, but it is said that
the concession will be extended to
other countries that agree to place
Canada on a like favored basis.
In western Canada there is a clamor
for lower duties from farmers, who
want agricultural machinery from the
United States, while the lumbermen
ask higher duties to protect their
market. Miners, as well as tillers of
the soil, demand cheaper lumber. So
the Canadians in the western provinc
es are divided into two hostile tariff
camps, according to their interests,
and the commission is vainly trying
to devise a course that will satisfac
torily steer between them. Protec
tionist sentiment is strong in eastern
Canada, while the maritime provinces
have much to say for reciprocity,
though unable, as always happens in
the treatment of that subject, to de
fine it. The resulting schedules will
be a hodgepodge, without the slight
est assurance that they will be a bet
terment or materially differ from
those now in force. Meantime busi
ness in Canada will suffer from the
feeling of uncertainty. Exchange.
HINTS TO BEE KEEPERS.
The presidents of the various col
leges and universities in addressing
their incoming classes have made elo
quent appeals to the nobles and man
liest elements of youthful human na
ture. The exhortation and admoni
tion of the educators will not have
fallen on deaf ears, we hope, and the
worth and beauty of the principles
commended to the freshmen cannot
but impress the thoughtful mind.
President Eliot, for example, spoke
of the durable satisfaction yielded by
a clean, vigorous, wholesome life, by
the cultivation of intense mental work
and the acquisition of method and dis
cipline, by honest and generous con
duct. It should "go without saying"
that admission to colleges does not
operate as a license to commit dis
honest, dishonorable or vicious acts.
Unfortunately some students do
tacitly claim such license, and in their
case the eloquence of exhortation
needs to be reinforced by the elo
quence of summary action. The pres
ident of the University of Wisconsin
-was obliged some days ago to serve
notice on the rowdies among his stu
dents that no breaches of the law and
the peace of the community would be
tolerated. He did not expect the po
lice, he stated, to treat student rioters
as a privileged class; they were to be
arrested and punished like other dis
orderly persons.
President Butler of Columbia has
just suspended for a year three soph
omores who . had been convicted of
having. - It "is not charged that the
hazing was particularly rough and
brutal, but it was contrary to the
known and explicit rules of the uni
versity, and Dr. Butler intends to have
the rules obeyed. Moreover, the haz
ers were guilty of a breach of the
anti-hazing "honor agreement" made
a year ago with the authorities after
a sensational case of rowdyism, and
this was deemed even graver than the
violation of the general regulations.
Dr. Butler is not prepared to admit

There is something very interest
ing in the matter of quality in regard
to the various kinds of food. The
Ben Davis apple sells because of its
fine appearance. All lovers of good
apples acknowledge that it is very
inferior in flavor, yet a friend said to
me the other day, "Give me a Ben
Davis of all apples." He was from
Missouri where the Ben Davis is much
grown. A taste built up on Grimes'
Golden, Northern Spy and Spitzen
berg, could hardly understand his po
sition. "Those who have been brought
up from their youth where maple I jtsejf
sji is jjiuuut.t;u uaic icai ucu lu ap
preciate the syrup made from first
run sap when all the apparatus is
sweet and clean, especially if made
rapidly and with the utmost painstak
ing. Such syrup is almost as white
and clear as water and has a flavor
that, can hardly be described, it is so
delicate and exquisite. I was speak
ing of this at the table of a friend
only a day or two since, when he re
marked that he did not like that kind
of syrup. He preferred a darker kind
and the pungency which goes with
it. I though of him as of the advocate
of the Ben Davis apple, "There is no
accounting for tastes."
We find similar experiences in mat
ters of honey. While those of culti
vated taste who are wonted to the
very best that the culinary art can
give us, much prefer, and praise only
the lighter grades of honey, like that
from basswood, clover, alfalfa, white
and black sage, and the mesquite, yet
there are others, and I have known
not a few such, who prefer and al
ways select the dark honey when they
can get it. Such people prefer the
flavor which is always present in the
darker grades of honey. I have one
friend, a college professor and long
a colleague who always preferred
buckwheat honey and laid In his sup
ply in the late fall when he could get
this kind. While I was glad to sup
ply him this, I always laughed at him
and expressed surprise at his taste.
The golden rod honey and other honey
from the autumn wild flowers in the
East, though not quite as dark as
that from the buckwheat, are highly
colored and somewhat pungent in
flavor. Here belong tke amber honey
of our wild buckwheat of California.
While most will prefer the white
grades of honey, and others will pre
fer honey of the darkest hue, like
buckwheat, the widewheat, the wide
awake bee keeper will be on the sharp
est lookout for customers, especially i
of these latter classes, for thus he
may gain a market for all kinds of
noney at good prices, ir a person
thinks that buckwheat honey is the
is first-class or of the best quality and
yet request that a lower price be ask
ed for it.
Another point of interest In this
relation has to do with the grading
of honey. The up-to-date beekeeper
will see to it that his white honey Is
kept by itself, for this will always
bring highest figure in market. La
ter in the season, as the bees com
mence to gather from sources which"
give amber colored honey, the whiter
grades will be extracted that the am
ber honey may be kept by itself. In
this way the grade of the lighter
honey will not be lowered. In Cali
fornia the bee keeper cannot be too
careful in extracting to keep his sage
and alfalfa honey entirely separate
from that of the wild buckwheat. It
Is even more important that the still
darker buckwheat honey be kept by
It is harly necessary to sug
gest that these darker grades are just
as suitable for wintering the bees as
is any that is produced. Thus it be
hooves the beekeeper to extract the
lighter honey and let the bees fill up
the combs with the darker varieties
in the latter part of the season, for
their own food during the winter.
With the beekeeper, as with those
in any department of agriculture, it
is important to grade carefully. There
are few points which the beekeeper
should study with more .thoroughness
than that of grading. If he is produc
ing extracted honey he has only color
to guide him in making up his grades.
If, on the other hand, he is working
for comb honey, then he must have a
lookout not only for color, but for the
number of uncapped cells, complete-
( ness of the sections and the general
appearance of the same. A. J. Cooke
