An exchange says that "Oregon's
fruit crop is worth $4,000,000 this
year." What is meant is that the fruit
crop marketed is worth $4,000,000.
The portion of the crop consumed by
the producer is worth several times
that amount, but Oregon growers
have realized In cash that amount.
Cassie Chadwlck, who has caused
more misery in the world than most
women do, died in prison last week
after a lingering illness. St. Johns

It is a noticeable fact that all the
financial unrest in the Nation today
is in New York city. And New York
city is the home of Wall Street, fren
zied finance, crooked railway, copper,
oil and kindred Jobs. And there is a
connection between this financial un
rest and frenzied finance which is
very easy to see.
Attorney Walter Dimick, who is
City Recorder, says there is no truth
in the statement that he has a no
tion not to put the excise measure on
the ballot this fall. He says that
when questioned three weeks ago by
Attorney U'Ren he told him he ex
pected to place it on the ticket It
would not prove a profitable steD to
try and thwart the will of the people

Cassie Chadwlck do? Lied; simply

and legislators. These men are often
bribed Into selling the people's birth
right; tn other InataVcea tho officials
are bribed into Inaction, which serves
the purpose of the corporations as
well. Walch every official In the
State, and If any one Is negligent of
duty bring him up with a halt. It Is
the people's fault If their rights are
trampled on, and you can rest assured
that Harrlman cares as little for the
Every banker that dealt with her
charged her a ruinous premium for the t people of Oregon outside of what trl
loaas he made her, and he put that J
premium In his pocket and let the
bank take the risk on the security.
Who was the guilty party? The man
who exacted the premium for a loan
from his bank was a criminal from
the outset It was the cashier of the
bank w ho made the dishonorable deal
that ruined the Oberlln bank, not Mrs.
Chadwlck. She offered the bait, and
In certain instances paid the loan,
but when she failed to pay It, it was
not she who ruined the bank but the
man who unwisely made the loan; the
man who took the risk with the money
he was set to safeguard because of a
premium which he could and did
wring from this woman on whom he
later turned. Turn the light on the
whole transaction and we find it was
the man In the wrong, not the woman
who was the chief criminal. Give the
Devil his due.

About once in so often a hue a

people w ho have no appetite for drink;
or. having the taste, axe too stingy to

ists always want the public to think
that it la an Inner consclenceness"
that leads them to start the ball to

same tactics are used to roll up a
majority that are used when an ef

support of some cause.

The Southern Pacific Company is
assessed at $19,000 per mile in this
county, which Is an increase of $7,000
per mile over last year, and a total
increase of about $170,000. The com

county, not counting the trackage of
the Oswego branch. But the Southern
Pacific don't want to pay taxes on so
high an assessment and has appealed
to the Board of Equalization for a re-

; is getting. The company still charges
three cents a mile for travellers, which
is a cent more than the public should
pay and still it's too poor to pay taxes.
