The political power of BRODIE,' Editor and fubllsher. Multnomah, already great, would he , Increased materially hy the proposed extension. Clackamas County would be robbed of much of her richest territory and towns close to Oregon City, the county seat, would be lo cated In another county. The thing is preposterous. In Washington County the situation Is verv similar. A few residents of the Northern portion are trying to get Into Multnomah, over. the protest of . majority of the residents of the section affected. The Enterprise Is confident that a large majority of the voters of the state will vote "NO" on all of these county division schemes and In so dolus go on record against the wholesale method employed. PROSPEROUS OREGON. The apple crop of Oregon for 1910 la estimated to he liloo carloads, or approvlfutoly 1,000.000 boxes.

No wonder the Multnomah voter Is stagnorod with the coal proposal of the Clackamas annexationists, not to mention the;"1 of the Washington crowd who wan1 to slip over another square mile, and no wonder l nut the sentiment Is everywhere growing for a negative vote on all these coun ty divisions and schemes, because submitted on a wrong and unfair principle. Remember the failure to vote vu a rou my division scheme Is equivalent to casting a half vole for It. To Illustrate another ditngerous possibility In our present system If every voter In Multnomah and Clack nmas Counties and throughout the stale should fail to vote on the measure except two Clatsop fisher men, the tneusnre would bo enacted into law. The sentiment of the entire meet lug was that the proposed measure does not represent the wishes of the people of either Clackamas- or Mult notnah. but the belief was freely ex pressed that the two counties are on a common fighting ground.

County Clerk Greenman has deter mined to place on the ballot the proportion to vote Clackamas County dry under the provisions of the local option law. It Is contended that the petition Is def.-ctlvo for the reason that the precincts ' many Instances are erroneous, hut It Is apparent that 505 names are genuine, nud with this margin of five signatures to the good, the County Clerk has put the Issue sipiarely up to those who desire I" prevent the measure going on the bal lot at the November election. It Is possible that the attorneys for the optnisltlon will Institute Injunction proceedings to keep the proposition off the ballot. COUNTY DIVISION EVILS. There are eight county division schemes on the ballot at the coming election. None of them have partic ular merit and many of them are evil. A great deal has been said An amateur man-bird hitched up a biplane, sailed over to the home of a friend, collided w-ith a telegraph pole and dropped into the front yard about the formation of Nesmith and j with a dislocated shoulder and some Williams counties out of the territory of Douglas and Lane, but thinking people know the plan was simply born because growing towns, such as Cottage Grove, had an ambition to be come county seats. Cottage Grove is In Lane County, within an hour's ride of Eugene, the county seat, but thou sands of dollars worth of literature is being sent broadcast over 'the state to influence the voters and to create an impression that there is really a demand for a new county. Residents of small towns are taking advantage of the present law to es tablish county seats before It is too late, for there is every reason to be lieve the law will be changed so that In future It will be Impossible for voters of Grant County to have a voice in the local affairs of Clackamas. Of particular Interest to the people of Clackamas County is the scheme to annex one-third of its area to Multnomah. This plan is fathered by B. Lee Paget, of Oak Grove, in the hope of getting low car fare Into Portland. It is evident from expres sions of the most promising business men of the metropolis, published in this Issue of The Enterprise, that Multnomah County does not look kindly upon the proposal to more than double her present area and 'extend her boundaries south to the Clacka n:as River. But aside from the semi- internal Injuries. These aviators must think their friens have no nerves at all. Oregon snd California grapes are found In abundance In the local mar kets, and there is good demand for both. The melon season has about come to a close, although Canby mel ons are still in market and will prob ably be until the frosts come. Very few of these melons are now being shipped to this city, but are sold by the merchants of Canby. The apple crop was never larger or better than it is this year. Many varieties are being brought here by the producers.

APPEAL MADE TO ELECTORS (Continued from page 1.) Is of much liniortnnre to the farmers and consefpo-ntly the action of this body upon political Issues Is of Im portance to the vote of Clackamas County. Mr. Cross occupied offices lu the land Greening, Northern Spy, Jona- i ame location, but down stairs, for than and Bellflower. The apple pick-; iweniy nve years. ing season has commenced, and many of the growers have finished and dis posed of them, or are holding for better prices. A few peaches are to be found, among them being the Elberta. Many varieties of vegetables are to be found In the market, and the merchants will be able to supply the large demand for many weeks yet to come. , More hops were offered to Portland and Salem dealers Wednesday than on any ray since the season opened. The pressure to sell came from hold ers, of all grades. In spite of the free offerings, prices held fairly steady. The most Interesting report current in the market concerned the opera tions of John Carmlrhael, who Is said to have bought 1000 bales In the past two days at 11 to 12 cents, for ship ment to London. .One of the crops purchased was that of J. S. Loop & Sons, of McMinnvllle. Others were secured In the Newberg and St. Paul sections. The movement by the railroads, the Agricultural colleges and the Stock Yards Company for an Increased hog production In the Pacific Northwest is attracting widespread attention. The steer market for the week ral lied slightly; one top load having brought $5.r0. The quality of the of ferings was fair. The cow market remains steady. Bulls sold steady and calves were strong and high. The hog market at the week's close wan about 20 cents lower but prices ruled around $10.00 but are higher than Missouri River hogs, cost laid down.
