A radical change In the rural free er that sold his spuds when thoy were
delivery system Is something that is I
badly needed in this county. As a
sample of the conditions nat vj.k hv.
Inconvenience to certain sections Is
the mall delivery from Oregon City
to Stafford, Wilsonvllle and other sec
tions of the northwest part of the
county. It Is only a matter of a few
rules from Oregon City to Stafford
where it is Interrupted by tedious de
jiess with the county seat. Mail mat
ter from here under present condi
tions must go by way of Portland
where is is interrputed by tedious de
lays and oftentimes causing a serious
loss to correspondents.
The people of that section are often
anxious to see the latest doings around
the courthouse that is printed ouly
In the local papers here. As a rule it
takes all the way from two to five
days for county papers to reach sub
scribers in the northwest part of the
county and the kicks from residents
of that section are long and loud. If t
the residents of Stafford-Wilsonville
country were supplied by a rural
route from Oregon City they would
receive Portland and Eastern mait as
quickly as now. but the local letters
and papers more promptly. In fact,
this Is the only practical w ay to rem
edy the existing conditions and the
Board of Trade should take this mat
ter up at its next meeting.
M0REjF0RE3T RESERVES.
Dispatcher fron Washington Indicate-that
President Roosevelt has ad
ded 17,000,0)0 acres of forest lands to
the government reserves, one-fourth
of which is in Oregon.
The largest reservation ln Oregon
was an addition of 977,000 acres In
the Blue Mountain reserves ln East
ern Oregon. Other additions to exist
ing reserves are: 44G.0OO to the Siski
you in Southern Oregon, 71.000 acres
In the Weneha reserve, 514.000 to the
Cascade reserve, mostly In Its west
ernborder, and 154,000 to the Ashland
reserve ln southwestern Oregon.
To Include the timber land of the
Coast Range the President created the
Tillamook reserve, containing 165,000
acres; the Coquille reserve, embody
ing 140,000 acres, and the Umpqua re-
serve, with an area of 802.000 acres,
The Wallowa and Chesiniminus re-
serves are combined under the name foret,t reserves. As a result there will
of Imnaha, and 783.000 acres are ad- jbe practically no land left In Clacka
ded. An exact description of the new in!as county that will be subject to
reserves could not be obtained tndav.
LOCAL MILITIA.
The move to organize a militia com
pany here is a commendable one and
should receive the support of every
citizen, and the athletic young men of
the city ought to take pride in a lo
cal nreanlzatinn of this kind. The last
legislature made an anoroprla'ion of
10n.0O. to be used in erecting armor
ies for the various state militia com
panies, and it is the opinion of Rep
resentative Hunt'ey that a company
here would be entitled to its share
of this appropriation, although he did
not support the bill. However, he is
1'irtily ln favor of the organization
t' a local military company. Militia
companies that have existed here ln
the nf,t were noted for the enviable
records made and always ranked high
in the department. During the Philip
pine war Company I of Oregon City
particularly distinguished Itself, and
many of its members have become
prominent in the affairs of btate.
Now that the legislature has ad
jf'irned the board of fire insurance
underwriters have issued circulars to
the effect that there will be no more
r?''f"M to policy holders. In other
words the 25 per cent reduction rr.ade
soon after the first of the year restor
lug ti.o rates to what th"v "i-:ted pv.
vious to the advance made on account
of losses sustained in the Sau Fran
cisco fire, has been annulled "by a new
c'-cular. Not only will this effect lo
cal people, but tho entire northwest
fs well. It will be IniiwssJMe v.,
cure relief until another session of
the legislature is held. It has I cm
s lggusted that the people of Oregon
City form a protective organization
and carry their own insurance, can
celling all policies held in the trust
combination insurance companies.
The Sandy stump lands are said to
be in good demand by new settlers,
as the soil possibilities have long
since been demonstrated by practical
effort. The operation of a dozen saw
mills in that part of Clackamas coun
ty for the last ten years has had the
effect of putting tunny acres of stump
$1.50 per hundred hit the nail on the
head. Those who were holding for a
better price, did not count on the big
shipments fam the East.
The development of Oregon will be
retarded by the withdrawal of all pub
lic timber lands from market. One of
the Inducements to homeseekers is
a matter of the past. In fact the ex
tent of this national park area Is too
much of a good thing. It w ill cost the
government a small fortune to pro
tect and care for this Immense area of
parks.
It has been suggested by one of the
members of the local school board
that its meetings should be open to
the public. This Is the rule In every
other city of Importance and the peo
ple have a right to know every detail
of a school board's transactions. The
members of a school board are not
rulers, but are the servants of the peo
ple that elect them.
There will De some additional Jobs
for the small fry politicians now that
the remainder of the timber lands
not appropriated by the land grabbers,
has been taken ln by the government
There will be Inspectors and ward
ens galore walking through the woods
In the good old summer time and
drawing salaries.
The best interests of the city should
be subserved in the matter of tele
phone franchises, and it is of the ut
most importance that the city receive
revenue from these Important conces
sions. The matter rests with te
members of the city council, and they
will be held responsible to the people
for any legislation in this matter.
Everybody at Oswego wants the
proposed railroad bridge except the
Oregon Iron & Steel company. The
construction of this bridge wojld be
a matter of special convenience to
the residents not only of Oswego, but
to the people living on thl3 side of the
river as well.
According to President Roosevelt's
recent order one-fourth of the area
ot tne state has been set apart in
homestead and timber entry.
The people that contributed to the
relief of the San Francisco sufferers
experienced the humiliation of having
a large percentage of It stolen by
grafters, and now have to pay losses
suffered by De insurance companies.
Thi.s Is the day that the members of
the volunteer fire department exercise
an exclusive right to cast their ballots.
T'ul3 exclusive franchise Is permitted
on'y once a year, but It is right that
it is confine 1 to the practical fire fight
ers.
