Democrat, and they will be welcome
to make the hall their headquarters
for leaving things, washing, etc.
The rest room idea is not new, but
It has been slow of adoption. Within
th last few vears. however, many
have been established in towns In the
Central states, and are greatly apprec

farmers' !
wives.

That Mr. Harriman has violated the. community. A highway robber has

Union Pacific system is located."
Recent events have shown also that j
While the funds of the Union Pacific I
and Southern Pacific were being used j
in outside investments the lines of j
these roads were In great need of im-
provement. After an accident which
occurred a short time aso on the
coast -line of the Southern Pacific the
management was roundly denounced
by passengers because of the condl-

Investments in a distant part of the
country. It was a matter of life and
death as well as of business.
Another thing that travelers on the
system constantly hear of is the con
gestion. There are not tracks enough
to handle the business, and It would
seem that the large surplus which is
invested In the securities of other
roads might be much more properly
employed in adding to the trackage.
This would be real railroad manage
ment instead of stock speculation. It
would be only what the wealth-producing
road and its users were entitled
to.
A FARMERS' FAIR.
The proposed Clackamas county
fair is primarily and chiefly an agri
cultural fair. In a county with the
magnificent agricultural resources,
' developed and undeveloped, that
Clackamas county can boast of, the
fair should be one of the best on the
' Coast from the start. There is not
the slightest doubt it will be, if the
farmers and their wives take an in
terest and begin now to plan their
exhibits.
The fair will depend on the farm
ers for success. It will be a farmers'
fair. The most the town people can
do Is to prepare such exhibits In the
mechanical, business and domestic
lines, and to. patronize the fair liber
ally by their attendance.

operation manifest over t)u county,

eloquent of peace and hope.
We are battered and old, but our
hearts are bold;
Yet oft times dowe repine
For the days of old, for the days of
gold,
For the days like to forty-nine.
We have worked our claims, we have
scattered our gold,
Our pickaxes rest on the bars,
Yet still in the twilight of life we
behold .
Outcroppings of gold In the stars.
A few more days and the last miner
lays
His pickaxe aside and Is still,
Where the quail pipes on and the
jackrabbit plays
By the graves on the chapparel hill.
We are wreck and stray, we are cast
away,
Poor battered old hulks on the bars;
But we hope and pray that on the
Judgment day
We may strike it up In the stars.
