QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
So lour aa politics and self-interest
la Involved In the management of lo -
cal governmental affalra, Just so long
will the "outs" carp against the "Ins,-
and just so long will there be India -
criminate crltlcsm, without reasonable
basis.
Thla has been well Illustrated In
the flings that have been made agalnat
the county administration, who hare
patiently borne the unpleasantness
and unjustness of harsh words, but
the result has been that the friends
of yiystera hare come out Into the
open In defense of the men whose
greatest crime has been a desire to
evolve order out of chaos, to operate
the affairs of Clackamas County at a
minimum expense, consistent with ob
taining decent and effective results,
and to finally reach a point where
they can point with pardonable pride
to results that carry their own story.
In a recent newspaper issue a string
of questions have been hurled at the
Clackamas County Court, though the
questioner could easily hare given
satisfactory answers with less than
an hour's Investigation. While The
Enterprise does not care to pose as
Bif.anminf MofonHo, n t, r.,, !

at the bottom of this matter, we pro- derman- 8tate superintendent of pub
pose to replv to these questions, dis-! llc instruction, has had an over-plus
posing of -them briefly, but none the of coIleRe trainln8 to the detriment

been In accordance with and as the I
law directs? i
All firms handling road machinery I
had an opportunity to submit bids, 1
and three bids were submitted by
Beall & Co., the Buffalo Pitts Co., and
the concern that handles the Fort
Wayne crusher. The Reliance ma
chine of the Buffalo Pitts Co. that was
purchased Is warranted for five years,
and was the lowest-priced machine of
fered. The road roller, purchased for
$3250, is the best engine on the mar
ket, weighs 12 ft tons, and four ma
chines of this manufacture are sold
out of every five marketed. After
carefully investigating, the Court con
cluded to buy this machine, obtaining
more pressure on the rear wheels,
even at a slight advance in cost over
some of the other machines offered.
The Portland man who was paid
$250 worked three weeks and hired
two assistants at his own expense. He
made an exhaustive examination of
the suspension bridge, and submitted
a very complete report, which is on
file at the court house. The Court
believes that in the information se
cured, more than double the amount
paid the expert was saved to the tax
payers. New bridges have been erected
without competitive bids. This Is en
tirely within the law. In many cases
bridges were found that needed im
mediate repair, and, in some in
stances, reconstruction, and under
the bidding system considerable time
would have been lost in advertising practically all of the evangelical de
for proposals. The Court has built nominations. The latest comes out of
new bridges In less time than would J the state convention of the New York
have been consumed in the advertising
alone, and the public has been dis
commoded very little In comparison.
Had this policy not have been pur-
sued, the Court would have been com-1
BUILDING A CREDIT
Credit is the temporary use f funds belonging
to others, and returning them promptly when due.
It is the part of wisdom to establish one's credit.
Meeting every obligation promptly lays the
foundation. Having an account with this bank
helps a long way.
This bank takes especial pleasure in aiding its
clients to establish themselves upon a good credit
basis.
Don't wait until you want to borrow. Begin to
establish your credit now

Some of the bridge In the aoulhern
part of the county are too light, and

Important work In other auctions of

It la required.
Aa ImllvldualH, there la no doubt
but that the membera of the Commer
cial Club are heartily In sympathy
with the efforts of the County Court
to systematize road construction. The
club, as an organization, has not gone
1 on record. If It should be called upon
j to do so, we have no fear as to the
result. The Commercial Club could
; not afford to refuse its sactlon to such
a meritorious effort
The dealings, purchases and trans

hav b(,pn entirely In accordance with
trie law. This ran be proven ny an
examination of the records, alone, and
without evidence. It matters little
what may be offered for or against
the contention or question.
The Enterprise hopes there will be
an end to this constant bickering.
While light should always be shed
upon public matters, no one should
raise superflous queries that are so
easily answerable. It the newspaper
that raises these questions would take
the trouble to ascertain for itself the
true condition of affairs, there would
be no necessity of bothering the read
ing public.

Mr. Alderman is no doubt a very
fine man who has made a reputation
in educational affairs in Oregon. He
was connected with the State Uni
versity for several years. He exhi
bited some points during the cam
paign that marked him as rather an
adroit politician. But we do think he
could climb down the perch a bit and
et closer to the actual needs of the
country schools and give the boys
and girls a better chance. His pres
ent policy is only humiliating to the
students and ought to be as humil
iating to the superintendent of pub
lic instruction.

MINISTERIAL 8HORT RATIONS.
Tales of vanishing preachers con
tinue to be told, coming from every
section of the country and including
congregationalists which has been In
session at Lockport during the past
week. It was reported to the meet-
t 1 t . i n.
I ing, iu in uuiuiai way, says lue SI.
Louis Globe-Democrat, that it has
been found impoHsible to provide pas
tors for a hundred Congregational
churches In different parts of that
state. The average salary lu the va
cant pastorates Is $500 a year. The
report adds that the high cost of liv
ing makes It impossible even for an
unmarried pastor to live on such an
Incomo.
A mnn thoroughly consecrated and
"filled with the spirit' might, If alone
In the world, be able to complete the
merry round of a week on lesa than
$10. And If not thoroughly consecrat
ed and "Oiled with the spirit," his
grilling might do him good In leaving
him only his flesh while thoroughly
ridding him of the world and the dev
il. "Could you lead a Christian life
on $5 a week?" one of a selecting com
mittee asked a candidate for a vacant
pastorate in a small town. "How could
I live any other kind of life on that
money?" was answered. And yet, de
spite the wisdom, and perhaps the
holiness of the answer, he was reject
ed. It Is this spirit of demand In many
congregations that their shepherd
shall mortify the flesh, and make a
daily sacrifice of himself, which ac
counts for many resignations. There
are deacons and elders aud trustees
who not only put the preacher ou
short rations, but who Insist, In ad'
dition, tnat he shall not eat them with
a relish. They want to see him lead a
Christian life on $5 a week, and make
a weekly contribution to the mirslon
ary box as evidence that he is lead'
Ing it by choice and not under com'
pulsion.
Colonel E. Hofer, of the Salem Jour
nal, has taken the bit in his teeth and
becomes excitable in his paper over
the fact that nothing has been done
toward the construction of new locks
at the Falls of the Willamette. "Pin
headed Oregon City politicians cried
graft and fought the bills at every
step, but they went through." declares
the Colonel. Well. well. This is the
first time we ever beard there were
"piuheaded politicians' In Oregon City.
But maybe the Colonel knows. He
is pretty wise, financially. Still, his
questions are quite pertinent. We
think official Washington is slow. It
has always been, and probably always
will be. and if tne Colonel can stir
things up, he should have a monument
at the beadgates of the locks, over
looking the swirl.
It is said that the Democrats need
to gain only five seats to give them
control of the United tSates senate.
Well, whose fault is it? Who but
registered Republicans sent a Demo
crat from Oregon to the senate. If
it doesn't happen again next year we
shall be greatly surprised. There are
many thousand Republicans in Ore-
With a new president, a mixed cab
inet, a division of governors and a de
moralized army the rehabilitation of
Mexico will necessarily be slow, but
there are plenty of statesmen who be
lieve themselves equal to the task.
gon who will never vote for Bourne,
should he be nominated In the prl-
maries.' It is doubtful if the man
who bolted the head of the Republi
can ticket can obtain more than a
plurality rote.
Mr. Lorimer is to be investigated
again, this time, it Is to be hoped
with better results. Illinois has had
an awful smell about since its Jack
pot was created.
Some folks get excited and say they
hope for better things when confront
ed with the word reasonable.
OAC. WARNS AGIST
TREE DOCT
SWINDLERS PRETEND TO PRO
TECT APPLE TREES FROM
CODLING MOTH.
CORVALLIS, Or., May 26. Frauds
are being perpetrated In several parts
of the state by men who give as their
references the names of professor at
the State Agricultural College, with
out authority. One asserts prepos
terous things In the way of curing ap
ple trees of antbrachnose and pro
tecting them from the codling moth
by applying chemical to the roots.
Another Is offering a premium with
subscriptions to a paper, which turns
out to be a fake.
Dean A. B. Cordley, of the agricul
tural school has received a letter from
a farmer asking if be gave his en
dorsement to such men. The letter
says:
"A man named Saunder claims to
have a treatment whereby he renders
trees Immune from diseases by the
application of some chemicals to the
roots, especially apple trees. He
claims that tbey will be cured of an
thracknose, and that the codling
moth will not bother such trees for
six years and that no spraying Is re
quired on treated trees other than a
light spray of concentrated lye once
every two or three years to keep moss
off the trees. Mr. Saunder gave me
the name of Professor Cordley as re
ference, so I ask the college to give
me its opinion. I regard thla fellow
as a fraud, pure and simple, and in
order to protect my neighbors from
his operations I have written to the
college."
"I know nothing whatever of him,"
Dean Cordley replied, "and if I should
give my testimony in the case It would
be to the effect that any man wno
claims to be able to render trees im
mune from the attacks of the codling
moth, anthracknose and other fun
gous diseases by an application of
certain chemicals to the roots of trees
is a fraud."

45 Years Ago
From the Weekly Enterprise of No
vember 3, 18(16:
Messrs. Thomas Rowley and John
G. Porter of this city have within the
past week, brought to this county two
lots of fine wool sheep to tho number
of 200 each. Tho sheep are certainly
oqual to any that have ever been
brought Into the county. Tho same
gentlemen Tiave also purchased four
bucks of full blood, two of which took
first premiums at the lust State Fair,
and the other two took second premi
ums. Three of these were purchased
of Thomas L. Davidson, of Marlon
county, and one of J. Mlnto, also of
Marlon. For fineness, beauty and
weight of fleece these sheep cannot
be surpassed. Wo are pleased to seo
our Clackamas county friends "branch -
Ing out" in this line. The facilities
for sheep raising In this county are
unequalled in the State, and thero
is room for a thousand head w here we
now count but a single sheep. Messrs. said an old lady 10 a young gentle

such as they have, will average six

Ihe people of Portland are asked to vote, Monday, June 5.
Tt makes it unlawful for you to board a ear in which there
is no vacant seat. It makes you liable to arrest if you do
so. It subjects this company to a fine if it permits you to
do so.
In other words, if you are in a hurry to get home, catch
a train, go to your work, attend the theatre or visit
friends, even if you are willing to stand in a ear, you will
not be permitted to do so.
If you and your wife are standing on a street corner,
waiting for a car, you must remain there until one comes
along that has two vacant seats. Or, she may board a car
with one vacant seat and you may get along the best way
you can.
