AN HONORED PIONEER.
The death of Major Thomas Char
man removes an early pioneer one
with a remarkable career lhat mate
rially aided in making Orison dy
and Clackamas county what It Is to
day. He had rare business qualifi
cations, stability of character and was
a born leader among men. He w as a
prime mover In securing several Im
portant manufacturing enterprises for
Oregon City, among them being the
woolen mills and the paper and pulp
mills. Major Charman also was a
leader in the move that resulted In
the first attempt to harness the lat
ent electric energy that was going to
waste at the falls of the Willamett
Few men have had a more remark
able career in Oregon than Major
Thomas Charman, and fewer itlll bars
been held in higher esteem, ne
ceeded to the mercantile business of
the Hudson Bay company, virtually
the last monument that remained to
the memory of British rule.
He had practically been an Invalid
for the past six years, and succumbed
after a ripe and honored old age to
rheumatism of the heart.
FARMERS' TRUST.
Already the farmers' trust is creat
ing a stir in the financial world, and
M checking the flow of crops to the
markets where It is strongest in the
Btates of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Mis
souri, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Kansas.
Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, and
soon it will spread and become strong
in other states of the union. Wheat,
corn, fruits, etc., are being held until
thev will bring more remunerative
pilirs. The shortage of wheat and
or..-1: commodities commented upon
!: ; : ? market centers, was laid par-t-'illy
to a shortage of cars. It has
1'-en recently discovered, however,
that a large percentage of this produce
is being held by the farmers for mor"
remunerative prices. Already a;i al
liance has been formed with the labor
unions to do away with the middle- CO!lnty w'th the incorporated outskirts

SLASHINGS LAW.
The nicest thing about the apprec
iation of Representative I,, K. Jones
by the Salem Capital-Journal, publish
ed In Tuesday's Pally Star, Is that It
Is devoid of flattery. There was one
mistake In it. however, as all bills In
troduced by him did not become laws.
The measure to remove the restric
tions on burning slashings was shelv
ed in the senate at the eleventh hour.
It passed the house easily, but the
senate committee to which It was re
ferred was hostile, or at least passive
ly so, for It was not reported until
Friday night. Saturday, the final day,
it was one of a large number of Im
portant and more or less necessary
measures that were Indefinitely posi
tioned, because there was not time to
con ' ' Cie-j. '
' ' had wasted so much time
' corporation lobbyists that
to spare to consider meas-
," - the people's Interests.
Luckily, a section of another law
that was passed accomplished a part
-f what the Jones bill would have
done. The landowner can secure a
termit from the road supervisor of
his district to burn slashings, and
no ten days notice Is necessary. That
much red tape less Is good.

The farmers' trust is the outgrowth
of the grange movement that has edu
cated them up to strive for better con
ditions. The farmers were poor when
the grange became an active working
institution, but for the last few years
the producing classes have been grow
ing more prosperous, and they will
strive to keep themselves at the top
of the heap.
PROPOSED WAGON BRIDGE.
It is conceded that a wagon bridge
over the Willamette connecting the
Milwaukie and Oswego neighborhoods
would be a matter of appreciable con
venience to the residents of the north
ml of the county. The Southern Pa
cific Railroad company has already
elected a site and planned to build
a bridge over the Willamette near
'MI wankio. and it would no doubt be
a matter of economy to make arrange
ments with that company to build a
double-decker for the convenience of
earns and passengers. The site is so
located that this plan would result in
accommodating a large number of
lackamas county property owners.
"rtain perwns who are pulling In
the interests of Portland and don't
care a snap for Clackamas county are
agitating the matter of building a sep
arate suspension bridge that will con
nect the northern boundary of this
ject; of the American Society of Equi
ty, s ne of the strongest factors in
forr-ing the trust are the following:
To g t a fair profit for the fruit -of
the !.ir-ier3' labor; to build eleva
tors wl-fre grain and produce may be
store "i to await acceptable bids; to
procure equitable freight rates ant!
pre-npt and adequate transportation
faci'itias: to make a special report or,
crops at home and abroad independent
of th government report, which is
u 'laliy severely criticised; to kn
p-'--ve country highways for the better
r-3-hetins of farm products; to stand
acaint adulteration of food; to nr
cure legislation in the interest of t"1
Jarmrs: to establish special schools
for the training of farrier boys.
of Portland. The suggestion has been
nale that Clackamas county stand
half the expense of a suspension
bridge that would connect the extreme
northern boundary of Clackaaias
'iiinty with the city of Portland. This
imposition Is unutterable gall, unlimited.
The farmers' trust is discussing the
advisability of establishing special
schools to educate farmers. They evi
dently realize that the agricultural
colleges are graduating more doctors,
lawyers and professional men than
fnrmers. or at least few of them fol
low agricultural avocations after leay
ing those schools.
It would not be a matter of economy
for Clackamas county to appropriate
$40,000 to build a suspension bridge
connecting the north boundary of the
county with the city of Portland, when
Milwaukie and Oswego can be con
nected by a double-decker on the pro
posed railroad bridge.
That Oregon Is growing In popula

SINGING, VETO, VETO!
Not since Grover Cleveland, some
twentv years ago, astonished the coun
try with his private pension b'll ve
t -"s, has such an ego occupied an ex
e t-tive chair as Governor Char.ib-.
3,. A man's l.ump of self-esteem
uyj- t o pretty largs when he consid
ers his judgment better than that of
an hundred legislators on a lark's pro
portion of measures.
The Governor, however, can give
the "reason for the faith that's If
him," and undoubtedly several of his
vetoes are based on sufficient grounds.
This is not true in his veto of the
Johnson road bill. It was none of thp
governor'3 business whether in his
judgment the expense would be too
great: the people who pay the expense
orde-'-d the law through their directly
nomi"nted and elected representatives,
and t' ? Governor gave an exhibition
of egotism in killing the bill.
The correct theory of the veto in
a democratic government is for its
use in exceptional instances, when:
through hostile or misinformation, the
legislature makes a mistake or subse
quent facts require further considera
tion of a measure.
There must nave ueeu a lot or ' ex
ceptional instances" in the law-making
by the late legislature, for tho
Governor is breaking all records in
the number of his vetoes. See his
axe work Tuesday: In addition to kill
ing t,he Johnson good roads bill, he
vetoes the voting machine bill, a bill
to regulate fishing on the Umpqua, a
bill requiring inspection of concentrat-1
ed stock foods, bill permitting the With the appropriations of water
