CHAUATUQUA.
Now that the political campaign
Is over, Clackamas county citizens, ami
In fact thf people or the en'ire state,
can well afford to turn their attention
to the Willamette Valley Chautauqua
Assembly, which will be held at Glad
stone Park. July 10-22 inclusive. The
programme this year is one of worth.
It has many attractive features. The
session promises to be one of the most
Interesting and profitable yet held.
Arrange to attend the entire twelve
days' programme. Bring the family,
camp on the grounds and enjoy the
rare advantages that are offered in
such a creditable programme.

NOW. KEEP CLEAN.
Wednesday was "clean ing-up day"
with Oregon City people. The Im
proved appearance of the city's streets
business property and many private
residences bears testimony that the
day was very generally observed.
Mayor Caufleld's proclamation, urg
ing a cordial response on the part of
the citizens, was complied with. The
result is that the general appearance
of the city has been improved, sanitary
conditions have been benefitted, and
the danger from fire on account of
innumerable rubbish heaps has large
ly disappeared with their removal.
Now that the city has been placed
In a presentable condition and can
pass Inspection of the many tourists
who visit this historic city every year,
citizens should strive to keep the place
as attractive as it now is. It will be
an easy matter to keep yards and
streets reasonably clean if a little ef
fort Is made and by doing so the nec
essity for setting aside another day
a year hence for "cleaning-up" will
be obviated.
AN INCREASED PAYROLL.
The establishing in this city of the
Oregon City Planing Mill Company's
large modern plant is a noteworthy
addition to the many manufacturing
industries here located. It is a well
equipped plant that directly and Indi
rectly furnishes about 200 men with
employment. As a result, the payroll
of the community is appreciably in
creased. Besides, the plant furnishes
a commodity that contractors and
builders have been unable to purchase
in the city. The mill makes of the
city not only a better trading point
but adds to the monthly wage-earning
capacity of the city.
There is plenty of room for other
such institutions here. Principal
among these are a creamery and a
cannery. With each additional enter
prise of this character that Is secured,
the material prosperity of the city
and its people is proportionately in
creased. Let's have more factories,
employ more men and still further in
crease a payroll that is already a cred
it to the city. I
LET'S HAVE A SANE CELEBRA
BRATION. Next Wednesday we celebrate an
anniversary that is dear to the heart
of every American. We would not en
tirely dispense with the firing of
crackers and other explosives, neith
er would we muzzle the patriotic cel
ebrator. But let's observe the day
after a reasonably sane manner. The
anniversary and what it means can
be commemorated, without the indis
criminate use of giant bombs to the
danger of life and property. If you
must be boisterous, purchase your
fire crackers, proceed to a side street
and shoot them off to your heart's
delight, but don't assemble where the
throng is the largest and disturb and
annoy those who prefer a more quiet
demonstration. There is a city ordi
nance that prohibits the sale and ex
ploding of fire crackers other than the
small and comparatively harmless
size, within the city limits. This or
dinance should be strictly enforced.
CONTINUE THE GOOD WORK.
Reports submitted at the annual
meeting of the Oregon City Board of
Trade last Friday night indicate that
this organization has not been entirely
inactive during the last twelve months.
On the contrary, it has been extreme
ly alert and has accomplished a num
ber of things that will redound to the
benefit of the city. Besides improving
the mall service between Oregon City
and Portland, the Board of Trade has
conducted a number of farmers' insti
tutes throughout the county. Twenty
five thousand pamphlets advertising
the county and its resources, were
printed for distribution in the east
and at least a part of the credit for
causing the assessable values of cor
porate property to be raised in this
county, belongs to the Board of Trade.
The Board has done well in the
past. Much is expected of it during
the ensuing twelve months. More
factories are needed. Labor must be
provided for more men. These and
other things will be attended to by
the board of directors, newly-elected,
which is composed of a number of the
city's most energetic and public-spirited
business men.
Let the good work continue.
CELEBRATE AT HOME.
When it was evident that Portland
and other largo cities In the vicinity
of Oregon City did not Intend holding
Independence Day celebrations this
year, the management of the Willam
ette Valley Chautauqua Association,
concluded to supply this deficiency
and proceeded forthwith to prepare a
program of exercises that will not be
duplicated by any other city In the
state. In bringing together the num
erous attractions that are included In
the day's programme, the Association
In arranging this special celebration,
has been put to an expense of about
$1000. For this reason, then, a slight
admission charge 25 cents the
charge for a day's admission to the
Chautauqua will be asked, for the pur
pose of assisting to defray the expense
of giving the celebration. Gladstone
Park is an ideal picnic ground, an in
teresting and old fashioned Fourth of
July programme has been arranged
and you are sure of a pleasant day if
you Join with the Chautauqua and
Oregon City people In the proposed
celebration of this grand anniversary.
LOOKING BACKWARD AND FOR
WARD. There are millions of citizens who
remember vividly the events of fifty
years ago, when the Republican par
ty was born. Trouble was In the air.
A cloud much large than a man's hand
was growing along the horizon. Civil
strife carried to its last arbitrament
was feared, and yet the hope was gen
eral that it would be averted. The
most nggressive element was in the
south, and a later generation can not
realize the cool audacity and taunting
words with which it pushed a fixed
purpose. Yet the great majority of
Ui people believed that some settle
ment could be reached short of war.
The basis of the Republican party was
nationality. Its mission was to save
the union of states, to preserve the
country whose founders certainly in
tended that it should be a nation, and
not a conditional arrangement that
might resolve Itself into several na
lions. In spite of the old charge of so
cialism, the Republican party is tne
least sectional, the most national, or
ganization the country has ever known.
It directed the war to prevent national
division. Its policies have been na
tianal. Only where sectional exclu
siveness and prejudice prevail is it
shut out. Let the national spirit en
cer such places, and Republican Ideai
must at once be predominant.
The first large experience of the Re
publican party was defeat in a nation
al election. It was a contest marked
by immense vigor and spirit In a young
party, but the scale was turned in fa
vor of the Democrats by a few north
ern states that, at a later period, addel
their strength to the new political
force. A few months sufficed to show
that Republicanism was marching ou
i'.nd the sentiment of southern defiance
increased in even greater proportion.
At last the flag of the United States
was fired on and hauled down at the
demand of an enemy. It is needless
tb describe again the tidal wave of
wrath that swept over the loyal states.
The sense of nationality had been
rudely assailed and overborne, the flag
humbled, and the property of the coun
try seized. A like provocation today
would cause a similar thrill of over
powering feeling and demand for vin
dication. Upon the Republican party
ell the duty of piloting the govern
ment in its struggle for nationality. It
(ought the rebellious sectionalism in
the states to its downfall on the field
of battle, and by its principles has
tver been true to the cause of the
Union, one and indivisible.
As an incident of the war for the
Union slavery was swept' away. It
has since been abolished by all civiliz
ed nations. What the United States
has become a national entity can
be seen by a glance at the map stretch
irg nearly half way around the earth,
and at the summaries of the commerce
and wealth of the leading countries.
Under Republican guidance the na
tion was first made the chief united
American power, and then a world
power. Its national achievements in
clude the homestead law, the protec
tion of American industries, the trans
continental railroads, expansion, a
sound currency, the best credit, and
many other features of wise develop
ment that the people enjoy in com
mon, and which form the groundwork
of their great destiny. The Republi
can party is in the first stages of its
career. It sprang into existence be
cause the conscience of the people
was aroused. It represents their con
science now, and will live as long as
it is faithful to its origin. Other par
ties may have conscience, but some
have only appetite. St. Louts Globe
Democrat. o
The proposal for a county High
School was adopted by the voters of
Wallowa county by an overwhelming
majority at the recent election. The
High School movement Is growing all
over Oregon, and the town or county
that fails to provide thi highest pos
sibel free education for its boys and
girls will soon find itself far behind
its more progressive neighbors. The
people of Dallas never did a more pro
fitable half hour's work than when
tiny turned out to the meeting, Mon
day, and authorized the district board
to establish the higher grades. As a
result of that meeting, it will not be
many years before Dallas will have a
large and well-equipped High School
to which every citizen can point with
pride. The movement for a first-class
free school is now under way and will
grow with popularity with each suc
ceeding year. Dallas Observer.

Without wishing to block the Im
migration Bill, it might be a question
whether it was not rather standing in
our own light to try to bar labor out
of this country just when we need it
most. Of course we do not want the
anarchist Dor the moral degenerate
nor the habitual criminal. But after
all there are stringent laws against
these and other specifically named
classes of undesirables. Yet there is
an attempt being made to further put
up the bars just when the farms of
the west are crying for more labor,
when the railroads of the country are
trying to keep the laborers and pre
vent their drifting to the farms and

also when the cotton fields of the south
and the tobacco fields all over the
country are bewailing a dearth of la
bor. The President, the Italian Ambas
sador, and numerous societies all over
the country are working to a common
end to get the newly come immigrant
to go out Into tho country where theft
work is sorely needed and stop herd
ing In the towns where It Is uot want
ed. If this movement can be brought
about, it hx)ks as though we could
stand a large tide of Immigration for
some time to come. It looks also as
though this might be a more Christian
like way of handling the problem even
the missionary problem than by bar
ring the immigrant out altogether.
The root of the whole agitation Is
In the labor unions who are afraid that
if more lalmrers are imported they
will be utilized In the tiiir cities as
strike breakers and In crowding out
men wno already belong to tie union.
Now one does not want to be unkind,
but It mii; lit be hist as well to ask the
question, how many of the men who
are clamoring now .for more stringent
Immigration laws would have to go
back more than one generation to find
their ancestry In Europe?

PRESIDENT AND MEAT SCANDAL.
'True to his threat when ho found
that the legislation rontoinplntod by
the Heverldge Amendment for proper
Inspection of the meat products of the
Chicago packing houses was being
blocked In lis passage through cong
ress. President Roosevelt has sent to
the Capitol the rojtort of his own two
commissioners, Messrs. Nelll and Rey
nolds who hat) inado tho tour of tho
houses when reports of their unsani
tary condition were brought to hint,,
If anyone Vx per tod the report to bo
an anticlimax after all the disgusting
stories that had been printed alxnit
Chicago conditions, they were disap
pointed. The report Itself Is no mo
degrees worse thun anything that has
been written even by tho most sensa
tional newspapers. It Is not sensa
tlomil In tone. In fact It Is deadly cold
ami precise, prefaced by tho atato
tnent that though many offers of testi
mony had been made to tho comniU
dinners, (hey wore compelled to tltv
cllne them anil that the report as sub
mitted was simply what they had seen
with their own eyes ami not what they
had been told by any witnesses. Inter
ested or otherwise.
The President by way of comment
on this report says that ho bus al
ready ordered that tho Inspection la
bles bearing tho government rortltl
cate shall only be placed on such
meat packets as have been actually
inspected ami snail state merely that
the animal when slaughtered was In
spected and found tit for food. But
he says that nuless effective legisla
tion is secured, he will bo compelled
to oiiler that no government Inspec
tion lable shall be used on any canned
products hereafter. This would bo
a most serious blow to the packers
and unless they have more temerity
even than they have boon credited
with, they will see that they have gone
too far In attempting to Intlueuee leg
islation and wilt come into camp lest
a worse thing befall them. '
Hut while the government Is at
tending to tho Internal economy of
the packing houses and endeavoring
to clean them up. It might be well In
put In a word for the poor beasts
whose ultimate destination is the
noisome packing district of Chicago.
The humane societies nil over tho
country for years have called atten
tion to the conditions preceding the
slaughter of the animals at Chicago.
They have shown time and time again
that the cattle are transMirted long
distances without food or water, burn
lug mad with thirst, thrown down,
legs broken, gored and trampled, all
that a few cents might be saved to tho
cattle raisers In their transudation.
The simple remedy for all this Is to
break up the great central killing
houses and have the cattle slaughter
ed and inspected where they are rais
ed, shipping tho carcasses where nec
essary for treatment In the canning
and packing establishments.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, an they cannot i
reach the diseased portion of tho ear.
There Ih only ono wny tu cure deaf
nests and that is by conntltutlonal rem
edies. DeafnesH Is caused by an In
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it Is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to Its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an Inflamed
condition of tho mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
