It is unfortunate at this time that Oregon City has no active commercial body to take up the work of finding a site for a fruit-canning establishment here and to assist and co-operate with the Clackamas County Horticultural Society to that end. With the offer of S. T. Britten, of Meldrum Station, to finance such a plan, providing a site Is provided, there should be little dim culty In meeting that gentleman half way, but the situation at this time does not look at all promising. It is only by united and concerted action that these things are accomplished. Some months ago plans were started to organize a commercial club In Ore gon City, and now we find that In the place of this organization there is to be formed a lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, with the probabilities of a club feature attached. The Elks are all verv well In their way, and as a rulet here are a lot of jolly fellows, but they cannot fill the place of a Commercial Club or a Board of Trade, and no one expects them to do this. i The Enterprise will subscribe a lib eral amount towards the formation of an institution whose primary purpose ehall be to promote the Interests of Oregon City and Clackamas County and to bring thousands of people here to settle up this fine country of ours, that Is inviting Eastern people to make their homes In a place that of fers such wonderful advantages as does Clackamas County. Oregon City shall and will, have a material growth during the next two years, if for no other reason than the establishment of a ne,w paper mill within Its limits. The population of the town will be increased by at least 1000. New residences will have to be built, more business houses will be established, and the south end of the city, so long deserted, will become a scene of Industry. Perhaps we shall have our long hoped for commission house. Who knows? U'REN NOT A CANDIDATE. William S. U'Ren, whose name is so closely associated with Clackamas, has announced, in response to current rumor, that he Is not and will not be a candidate for United States Senator this year. It is a safe bet that the machine antagonism to the power of the people will breathe a sigh of regTet at thi3 intelligence. They would have dearly loved to get a whack at Mr. U'Ren through the-medium of the ballot. While Mr. U'Ren has, like all of us, main some mistakes, and will probably, also like the rest of us, make other mistakes, we believe that the great masses of the people think of him as an earnest, thoughtful man, who Is entitled to respect, no matter what his politics have been .or are. The alleged funny flings of some news papers at his theories and practices read well, but are merely surface mat ter. The refusal of Hon. Thomas A. Mc Bride, Judge of the Fifth Judicial Dis trict, to retire in order to become a candidate for the supreme bench, is not a matter of regret to the people of Oregon City and Clackamas Coun ty. They want Judge McBride to stay, because they believe he Is an honest and upright Judge and because they, know him and trust him. But If'Tom" McBride should ever conclude to be come a candidate for higher Judicial honors, his friends of many years' standing would pull off their coats. Ir respective of politics, and present him with an overwhelming vote in Clacka mas County. This is probably true In no less degree in the counties of Clat sop, Washington and Columbia. The announcement that the indict ment against George C. Brownell is to be dismissed is very gratifying to his many friends in Clackamas County. While Mr. Brownell will probably not soon be a candidate for a county of fice, it is expected that he will Insist upon having a voice in the councils of the Republican party, in which he was a leader for so many years. Of course, he will never again regain his old po sition as the dominating force. Under the direct primary law, these things are in the hands of the people, who will not relinquish them. Jovial Tom Richardson, the popular secretary of the Portland Commercial Club, whose work In bringing thou sands of homeseekers to Oregon Is everywhere recognized, will talk to the people of Oak Grove next Thurs day evening at a meeting of the Im provement Association of that place. Tom Richardson Is one of those men whose face is full of kindly sunshine, whose brain is ever active, and who, when he goes to his everlasting re ward, will stand beside St. Peter and reject the mossbacks of Oregon. The new Masonic Temple in the center of the business.dlstrict is near ing completion. It is a sightly struc ture that is a credit to Oregon City and Multnomah Lodge. In a few weeks the building will be ready for occu pancy, and where, a year ago, was only a vacant lot will be located the fin est and most costly edifice and lodge building in the city. The members of the lodge have shown their un bounded faith in the future of Oregon City by their large Investment. Let us hope that their profit will be in accordance with their faith. 7 Feeling good over their partial suc cess of two years ago the Clackamas County Democrats are already prepar ing to open the coming county cam paign, with the expectation of re electing a sheriff and of placing some other olflclals In the courthouse. The Republicans or Clackamas, while rest ing on their oars with a normal majori ty that Is Immense, should not bo come lazy and cocksure. Politics, like a poker game, is never out until It is played out, and all bluffs should bo called. The attempt to wrest valuable min ing properties from the Ogle Mountain Mining Company will be frowned on, and will probably come to naught. The Falrclough boys and other Investors have spent a great deal of time and money In developing the property, and that they should have protection Is only natural. The claim that they are protected by the I'nlted States land laws Is not only Just, but Is gen erally conceded. The Implications contained In po litical correspondence that J. U. Camp bell was threatened with indictment are not serious. It would have been 1 unjust, indeed, to bring a serious charge against a man because he stood in the way of another man's po litical ambition. Jim Campbell Is too well known In Clackamas County to have ever suffered from any such an noyance. L... . . . . Comments of the Portland news papers on the multiplicity of divorces In the Clackamas County Circuit Court are lost on us! More than 75 per cent. of them come from Portland, where the fees are higher and where it is said divorces may be obtained with lit' tie publicity. There Is nothing In this latest belief, however. ,.-......... -o LOCAL BRIEFS H. W. Strelblg vsas in Silverton on business Thursday. Mrs. Belle A.

TRULLIN GER, WHO SAVED PROPERTY FROM SHERIFF'S SALE. County Judge Dimlck has Just hand ed down a decision Involving a claim against the estate of the late J. G. Trullinger for $103.30, that amount be ing for taxes paid on a farm by D. L. Trullinger. It appeared from the testi mony that J. G. Trullinger had leased a farm to Dan Graves, and as com pensation the latter was to deliver to Trullinger a certain portion of the products raised upon the premises. Before the crop had matured so that It could be harvested, however, Trul linger died and his estate passed Into the control of an executrix. D. L. Trullinger paid the taxes on the property after they became delin quent in order to save the land from being sold by the Sheriff, and when Trullinger filed a claim against the estate for the amount, It was dlsal lowed. The questions Involved were wheth er the claim of Trullinger should be allowed and to determine who was entitled to the crop under the lease to Graves. Judge Dimlck, in his decision, states that the claim should be paid. As to the second question, he holds that the ownership of the crop raised upon the premises belongs to the estate and not to the Individual heirs or benefi ciaries under the will. Judge Dimlck says "The principle of law Involved has been settled by a great number of Ju dicial decisions; that where a lease is made by a person in his life time, after death, the executor takes the same right and position and Is clothed. with the same authority as the de ceased would have possessed had ho rived, and under the circumstances all of that portion of the crop delivered by Graves to D. L. Trullinger should be taken as a counter-claim against the claim for $103.30 that the claim ant paid for taxes and the balance due on said claim, If there be any after the deduction, should be paid by the executrix to the claimant." D. L. Trullinger received from Graves 120 bushels of oats, 17 bush els of wheat and 11 bales of hay, and Judge Dimlck rules that the execu trix should pay to Trullinger the dif ference between the value of the crop and his claim. The exact value of the produce given to Trullinger by Graves was not determined at the hearing. In conclusion, Judge Dimlck says: "There seems to be other controver sy between the' parties as to who re ceived the balance of the share of the crop due the estate, but as the testimony was so vague and uncer tain, I am unable to determine who should be held responsible to the es tate for the balance of the rents and profits due the estate from Graves, and I think that a subsequent hearing should be had and proper testimony ad3uced in order to show who Is lia ble to the estate for that portion of the crop due as rent from Graves after deducting the produce received by Trullinger, together with the market value thereof." ROAD LEVY SET ASIDE. Voters of Harmony Did Not Proceed Regularly. A.

Kanne contended that nothing was done In tho manner of proceeding that should have been done, and that the proceedings were Irregular In every way. CITY OF PORTLAND WINS. Mount Hood Railway Company Non Suited In Condemnation Case, , Judge McBride on Wednesday non suited tho Mount Hood Railway & Power Company In Its suit against the I City of Portland for the condemnation jof a right of way. City Attorney Kav janaugh, assisted by his deputy, J. J. Fitzgerald, raised the point that the company had not compiled with the general law, providing that applica tions for rlghtH of way must exhaust every other reasonable means before resorting to a suit fur condemnation. It appeared from the testimony of Mayor Iane and others that the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company had made no attempt to obtain concessions from the city council, until after filing Its suit In the Circuit Court of Claeka mas County. Piatt & Piatt appeared for the com- pany and stipulated with the city's attorneys on almost every point, In cluding the value of the land, which is agreed to be worth $75. The com pany asks for a 100-foot strip, as the territory through which the road is to run Is very mountainous, necessitat ing grades on mountain sides. City Attorney Kavanaugh expects that the company will now appear before the city council In the regular way In asking for a right of way otr land in which is located the Bull Run pipe line of the City of Portland.

JUDGE McBRIDE WILL 8TAY. Not a Candidate for 8upreme Court Honors and Will Not Resign. Contrary to persistent rumors. Cir cuit Court Judge Thomas A. Mcllrldo will not be a candidate for Supremo Judge, to succeed Frank A. Moore. Re ports have been current and even pub lished that Judge Mcllrldo would re sign his present position and become a candidate for higher honors, but this he denies. "I am for Judge Moore, first, last and all the time," ho said, "and re ports to the contrary are unfounded. I am satisfied with my present offi cial position and believe that the peo ple of the Fifth Judicial district are satisfied with me." Little regret Is expresed here at tho decision of Jmlgo Mcllrlde. Ills friends In the district are many and .would not like to see him vacate the Circuit bench, where he has been for a good many years, and where ho Is univer sally respected and beloved by men of every political faith.

Tho Yorkshire Observer quotes tho mayor of Itnidford as saying In a pub lic meeting that on Recount of the grout deiiinnds upon tho tlmo of members of tho council It was dllllcult to get good men to enter or remain In that body. Yet tho corporation had 11,000,000 In vcNttxl la Its undertakings, which must "1st mnnngod in roiiio way or othor, good, bml or Indifferent." According to Dr. Ingram, chairman of tho fluuuco cmnmlttno of Woolwich, tliut borough reached tho verge of bankruptcy uudor the management of tho M. O. party, which tried to show that tho electric plant was profitable by tho simple expedient of not paying bills. Tho new iidmlnlNtrntlou was faced with a flouting Indebtedness of $73,000, which has to be provided for by dilution. t The Yorkshire Observer states that at R meeting of tho Itolherlinm bor ough cotuyll Alderman Glimmer de jected to the amount which the gns undertaking contributed to the rates on tho ground that It had U'cii mitdo M)Nslblo only by raising Iho price of gns and thus making Its consumer bear nu unfair proportion of tho rates. This boru especially upon tho poor, who uno gns lustuad uf electricity. H If i city Is well governed munici pal ownership Is tho immt dangerous thing liunglnublo and should tie care fully avoided, There Is always tho danger that tho public utilities tho city Is suppoNi-d to own will liecntne noth ing more or lens thnu tho private prop erty of tho people Rt the bend of tho government, who will work to their own Advantage and tho enhancement of their private wealth.-William T. Ktend, Editor Review of Reviews. At the fifth annual conference of tho Municipal Tramways iumoiatloii (). W. Ilolford, genernl mannger of the Snlford corporation tramways, stntod that tho probable average life of rails was twelve yearn. Commenting upon tho fact (tint In ninny cities no depre ciation or renewals fund was Iwlug set aside, bo "earnestly wurned tho gentlemen responsible tliut serious re sults would follow In ten or twelve years' tlmo, when heavy calls would hare to be tnndtf upon tho ratepayers for the purpose of renewals.' t Four years ago London took over Its waterworks, with the result that wa ter rates have Increased rather than diminished. Referring to the operat ing expenses, Sir Melvlll ltciu licroft, chulruiau of tbo water board, recently said: "Ho far It must bo admitted that no saving has been effected. I do not think (lint It was ever anticipated that there would bo any suvlng In tho ex penses of administration, us tho man agement of a trading concern by a municipal body must always luvoivo expeudlturo quite outside that which falls on a private compuuy." la my opinion, tho root of tho evil Is to be found hi the too great facilities afforded by purllamuiit for crazy mu nicipal traders to borrow money upou period of repayment out uf all pro portion to tbo lifetime of tho work upon which tbo money I expended. In Iluddcrsfleld we nro wearing out our third set of tram mils, and yet payment for tho first sot will not be completed until 1057.

Mooro, Esq., Alder man and Chairman, Iluddorslleld Cor poration Tramways. An English correspondent writes: "The tram curs In Liverpool until late years were owned by a prlvute company, whereas now they nro own ed by tho corporation. In the time of private ownership overcrowding was unknown; now It Is tho rule. On In quiring tho reason of tho chango I was told that It wus this: Tho regula tions n to numbers remain the same, but they are never enforced. Tl o po lice dure not enforce it bocouso they ore servants of tho corporation; tbo corporation will not enforce It because Its enforcement would mean a reduc tion In tho, receipts, and the borough bench so largely consists of Justices Ither members of the corporation or uniler Its Influence that no conviction If sought for by a prlvato person would be obtained." Kelr narille, one of the Socialist members of pnrllament, voiced the sen timents of English Socialists when ho said at Ilnidford u year ago: It becomes Increasingly evident that Socialism In this country will come through the municipalities municipal trams, municipal water, munclpnl gns, municipal electricity, municipal bread, municipal coal and municipal land. These things are all putting the people. or will put them, lu possession and control of the essentials of life, and that Is what Socialism alms at." KoRvrcll, N.
