The meeting Is Friday evening at rooms. Will you be there? THE RECALL IN CLACKAMAS. The activity of several gentlemen j of riarkHmn, Pnuntv In striving to recall two county officials is not to be commended. .The stench raised by the recall in Estacada is fresh in the nostrils of many, and they are still at It In Tacoma. The result will be that it will in a short time be difficult to persuade a capable man to seek an office, for he stands face to face with the possibility of having to run for office again, unless he f knuckles down to popular clamor on every question that may arise.. The Enterprise believes that County mu,.uuS j Judge Beatie and Commissioner Ni the fourth month of its exist- on Blair are striving to do their best The patronage it has recehed for the whole county, without regard , ' ver' gratifying.

He would indeed be a paragon. No recall petition can be filed on these two officials before July 1, six mnntho from the date thev assumed office. We are of the opinion tnat some noisy people are only stirring : up trouble for themselves. One piece of advice The Enterprise has to of fer, for which there will be no charge, and that is for the county cour to aptertain the Identity of the road hu- pervisors who are secretly trying to create a false impression among the tion.

The cattle market reached the high est mark of the season this week when hay feed steers sold for 7c. with In suflcient offerings to supply the de mand. Thinner steers not well fin ished sold all the way from $0.fi0 to $r, s." with the Sound buyers much In evidence. Offerings In butcher stock were very light and everything In sight wa' snapped up with avidity. Receipts of hoi's from loral points wfrp neavier than they have been for some time, but the market rallied and held up well considering the fact that a larpe shipment of Kasfern hogs was on the market as well. While it would i tuba an pvtra e-htAna lonrl of hfirs to bring the former top of $7.25, ordinary lit-'lit grades readily bring $7.10, only l'.c under which, considering the heavy hammering of the week Is a very slight decline indeed. There is a mor' decided slump In heavier grades, best qualities selling from $0.00 to $0.50. Sheep market remained firm to high er, with stock fairly well represented.
