OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1907,
SHARE OF
CLACKAMAS
Apportionment of State School
Fund Gives This County
$13,454.90
Clackamas county will receive from
the state school fund this year the
sum of $13,454.90, on a per capita of
$1.57 for the 8570 school children be
tween the ages of 4 and 20 years.
The apportionment was made at
Salem Thursday by State Treasurer
George- A Steel. The total amount of
the fund is I247.2S9.13. The total
school population Is 157,509. Multno
mah county of course leads with
35.CS8 of school age and $56,030.16 as
Its share of school money.
Marion county has next the largest
number of school age, 10,399, and re
ceives $16,326.43. Lane Is third and
just ahead of Clackamas with 8.S59
children and $13,908.63 in money.
Clackamas is fourth and the num
ber of school age in some of the other
leading counties follow in order:
Linn CC25, Umatilla 6316, Washington
C227, Jackson 5616, Douglas 5594.
Yamhill 5559, Union 5419, Wasco
B399, Baker 5302. Curry brings up
the rear with only 633 children of
school age. The rapid growth of Coos
county is shown by its school popula
tion of 4649.
The total state fund is $18,703 less
than last year and the per capita is
13 cents less. This is accounted for
by the fact that the wholesale can
cellation of school-land certificates,
In connection with the land-fraud in
vestigations last year, and the repay
ment of purchase price upon same,
also necessitated the repayment of
313,421.59 of interest paid on such cer
tificates and out of the interest fund.
These repayments were made upon
certificates held by Kelliher, Palmer
and others, which were cancelled by
the state land board. Had the inter
est fund not been drawn upon for
this purpose the total amount would
have nearly equaled that of last year.
Aside from this, there were certifi
cates representing 41,186.45 acres of
school land sold at $1.25 per acre
that were cancelled and repurchased
at $2.50, by Which transaction school
fund principal gained approximately
$52,000, which is now drawing inter
est for succeeding years' apportion
ments, and there are 36,492.63 acres
the certificates upon which were held
by A. T. Kelliher and were cancelled
and which remain unsold. This land
will be offered for sale on bids by
the state land board, in the near fu
ture. The greater part of it is valu
able timberland, and the state will
easily realize an average of $5 an
acre upon it, and the school fund prin
cipal will profit to the extent of the
difference between $1.25 and V
per
acre, or an aggregate of $120,917.35.
This, added to the profit upon the 41,
1S0.45 acre3 cancelled at $1.25 and re
sold at $2.50 per acre, amounting to
J53.9S3.0C, brings the total gain to the
school-fund principal up to $1S0,033.43.
A general idea of the prosperous j
condition of tht state generally may j
be gained from the statement that of
over 3000 loans that are now out
standing of the school-fund principal,
there is less than 1 per cent of de
linquencies. WATER PERFECTLY PURE.
Mayor Haviiand has had water
from Estacada's nronnscd new water
source analvzed and it has been found
ready to dig the pipe ditch as soon
a3 workers can be found.
VALUABLE CLAIM.
Rumor has it that Dr. C. B. Charl
ton has sold the timber on her claim.
Some time ago the timber was cruised
by parties representing Mrs. Charlton
and the purchasers and 10,000,000 feet

ACT WHEN

District Attorney Hedges Be
lieves In Making Effective
Moves or None
"I shall act when I know the acts
will be effective and not till then,"
said District Attorney Hedges Kil-
four churches asking that lie close up
the notorious gambling den known as
the Mllwaukle Country club.
Mr. Hedges returned Thursday night
from St. Helens where he lias been
conducting u murder case. He said
he had no information to give out just
at this time other than the above
statement. He has not hud time since
he came Into office to more than keep
up with the pressing circuit court
duties.
When Mr. Hedges was appointed to
his present office a few months ago,
a grand jury was In session In Clatsop
county and he at once went to Astoria
and remained until the jury adjourned.
He then bad Important court duties
at Hlllsboro. then St. Helens, then the
term of circuit court in Oregon City,
then back to St. Helens. Now ho
has a stretch of five or six weeks with
out circuit court.
Mr. Hedges showed some Irritation
over the proceedure of the writers of
the letters, who selected a time whn
both he and Deputy District Attorney
Eby were out of town, and then gave
out the letters for publication before
there was a chance of his receiving
a copy through the postofflce. Ho
thinks It would have been at least
more courteous to him as nn official
to have waited until his return from
his duties at St Helens.
"My office Is rooms 1 and 2 Welnhard
building and I can usually be found
here if any of those gentlemen wish
to see rue." Mr. Hedges Is not going
to conduct any long-range communica
tion with men who live within a few
blocks of him or who pass him on
the streets every day. If they want
to see him officially they will find him
at his office.
Just a Political Move.
"This Mllwaukle club flub-dub is
nothing but a political move," said a
leading Democrat, Friday. The Mll
waukle club has been running as a
gambling Joint for years but no row
was raised about It as long as Chris
Scheubel was In office."
When It was pointed out to the sus
picious one that several prominent
Democrats were on the committees
appointed by the churches, be only
sniffed and said they were fooled Into
iit.

to send the Calendar to their friends.
Invite them to visit Portland and es
pecially the While Temple. This has
been done. This is one of the reas
ons why so many strangers are to be

"I heard the other day of a young
Quaker who wrote back to his father
telling h I m of the wonderful size of
the berries and farm products In this
country. He told him that the bark
of the Sequoia tilganttca tree was 24
inches thick. The old father wrote
to him and said, 'My son, I regret that
thee has fallen Into the habit of lying,
along with other Westerners. You
know the bark of no tre could be so
thick.' The son, upon receipt of this
letter, went ami got a large trunk of
bark 2f Inches thick. He expressed
i! to his father In Pennsylvania, C.
O. D. It cost the old man $11 to get
It out of the express office, and when
he looked It over, he sat down and
wrote: 'My son John: Thee need
not prove thy statements any more.
It Is too expensive. We will take
thee at thy word.'
"I"t us not be afraid of exaggerat
ing the advantages of our state, l.et
us tell the truth, and let us Invite In
this personal way our friends to come
to Oregon. It will fill up our state
with the very best class of people,
and give unto us citizens who love to
live under Christian Influences and
believe in good government."
