For reasons known to themselves the managers of that meeting desired to hear from only a selected few, and denied the right of ballot to all the titlens of Clackamas County south of the Clackamas River. The Oak Grove meeting then was In no sense representative, and it follows that the Multiiomsh-Clackamus An nexation Association created accord lug to cut and dried program at that meeting represents only the sentiment and desires of its promoters). Those living in the territory north of and adjacent to the Clacknmns River, nre nt present but a few min utes' ride from Oregon City, the coun ty sent. If the dismemberment of Clncknmus County he realized these people will be compelled to travel much farther to the county seat and at a greater loss of time and money; for, contrary to the Iron logic of the Miiltnomah-ClnckuniHK Annexation Association, altering county lines will neither Increase the speed of trains nor reduce railroad fare.

Frank Juggar, who has Ix-en mentioned In connec tion with the Republican nomination for Judge, has stand that he will not enter the race. Captain John T. Ap person of I'arkplatji;, will probably be a candidate for the Republican nomination, mid fjeorge L. Story, and! W. W. II. Samson, of this city, and j Charles T.

There are few candidates for the legislature, but mnnv heads are ex pected to bob up within the next few weeks. Walter A. Dlmlck has good prospects of succeeding himself, and I.inn E.

I'addock, the present county treasur er, is expected to seek the Republi can nomination. J. U Kruse, of Wll sonville, and E. D. Olds, of Oak Grove, have been mentioned. W. L. Mulvey. of Oregon City, and C. M. Lake, of Boring, are In the race for county clerk. The only man In the field for treasurer Is J. A.

Helvey will be placed on trial for his life In the Clackamas County Cir cuit Court. Helvey killed George Smith, near Cams, a few -weeks ago, and was Indicted by the grand jury on a charge of murder in the first de gree. He entered a plea of not guilty last Saturday, and claims the killing was in self defense. County, by reason of her greatly In creased population, will be entitled to many more members In the legisla ture. With this added power she could then dictate in legislative mat ters to all of the other counties. It will cost at least $100,000 to transcribe the oljlclal records. Inas much as the promoters of county di vision are unwilling to pay this nmount, most of It must be paid, in the event of success, by the taxpayers of Multnomah County. The commercial bodies of Clacka mas County, during the past year, have spent lurge sums of money In advertising this section. Our county is prosperous. With united effort we shall continue to grow in population, wenlth and influence. There has been no good or valid reason given for destroying the In tegrity of Clackamas County, and we therefore respectfully ask the voters of the State of Oregon to vote against the measure which proposes the an nexation of a part of Clackamas County to Multnomah County.
