U'Ren, disciple of political and social unrest, invaded the grounds of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Assembly at Gladstone I'ark Sunday and It appears that be became peeved because one speaker was substituted for another and made an unholy show of himself as a con ' salience.. Anything that V'Ren may do nee4 astonish no one. He has been stir ring up trouble In one way and anoth er In Oregon for these many years. He eau up trouble. In a community vhere all was peaceable U'Ren would have no place. It la Indeed a little thing to do tor CRcn o go to Gladstone Park and kick np a muss over nothing. The Chautauqua is an institution tor edu cational uplift It frys no political fish. It does not boost U'Ren and his co-workers on the Joesph Fels pay roll. It is not trying to saddle an un fair system ot Single Tax on our State. The Chautauqua is merely at tempting to give to thousands ot peo ple decent amusement for a fortnight each year, and It Is extremely bad taste for U'Ren to stand np on his bind legs and protest because the In stitution was unable to carry out its scheduled programme. Sit down, U'Ren. You are not a Roosevelt yet! SINGLE TAX PARALYSIS What are the Single Tax people fig uring on? What is their present game? Why don't they come out and explain all points of their proposed constitutional amendment? Do they want the people to know that It Is their desire to kill Oregon Industrial ly? Do they want the voters to know they are working to kill the goose that lays the golden egg? Do they want to tell the unsuspecting public that our great industries dependent upon our timber resources would be great ly Injured and that through the con stitutional amendment they are work ing for, labor will probably eventual ly stand the brunt ot their attacks? Do they want to tell these things? Their amendment as worded means all these things when given a careful consideration and of course the single taxers will hold their papera until the last moment so the people won't be bothered with them while they have time to study and learn what they mean. TERMINAL RATE8 The Oregon City Terminal Rate As sociation is if nothing else getting Oregon City on the freight map of the country. The work on terminal rates has brought to the attention of the commission the exhorbitant rates ef fective between Portland to Oregon City on the first four classes and an order from them demanding reduction to living rates. As soon as the Supreme Court de- clues the case now before it as the validity cf th fourth section of the in terstate commerce act regarding long and short haul rates, Oregon City may expect further action in her favor Terminal Rates which will not only aid our present business but bring to our city new enterprises, the greatest stimulant to greater prosperity. OREGON CITY A SHIPPING POINT Oregon City ships 300 tons per day of manufactured goods and many tons of farm products. Oregon City re ceives TOO tons per day of logs and ether raw materials for Its Industries and many tons of supplies for Its stores and business bouses. It is safe to say therefore that Oregon City bandies 1000 tons per day of freight or 310,000 tons per annum or In other Very Little Room Fof Dispute about acconnU that are paid by checks; it's the best evidence in the world of payment made. You will be acting with business prudence if you open an ac count at this bank and pay all bills by check. You'll be surprised how convenient it is to have at your fingers' ends at all times a correct showing of your accounts. Begin at once the prudent way of paying bills; open a checking account at this bank. The Bank of THE OLDEST BANK IN B mires 620,000,000 pounds.

The Southern Taclflo Comp any has agreed to widen the road at the railroad crossing between Oregon City and rarkplace. Judge Ueatle notified the proper officials of the county's rlKhts and wants and the people will get what belongs to them the sooner the better. Judge Bcatle is not slow to act when such a mat tor is brought to his attention.

Oregon City CLACKAMAS COUNTY RAISING THE WIND By M QUAD Copjrrlght, UU, oy Associated Ut rury Pn- At fifty years of age and after work Ing bard for thirty of them Anio Schernierhorn found himself wonn less than f 100. Mr. Scbermerboru bad never ant itnicb time thluklug and planning ut thing outside Ills dully work, tie waa a carpenter, aud Unit settled Ibat. He could earn tl.M per day wbeu be bad work, and that settled lhaL tie never allowed himself lo have dreams ot riches and ease. Perhaps It waa for this reason and becnusw be was uo talker aud diJu't mix up with politic that be caiue to b looked upou aa a rather dull man. On bis Bftletb birthday tbe earpen ter, being out ut work, aauutervd oil Into tbo woods aud sut down to nave bis Brat real thluk.

For three long hours Amos kept bis brains at work, and as be walked back to the village people noticed a chuuge In turn. Aa Iteacoo Itiker afterward remarked: "Why. be looked au altogether dlf terent man to uie, and he talked rigbi up aa brisk as a lighting rod man. I couldn't help but wonder If be bad found a dollar In the road." Next day Amos Scberiiierhom packed bis clothes in a satchel and bended for a village tblrty miles away. He euter ed It on the second day. There hud been two or three recent robberies. and tbe constables were on the alert. A mile from the village aud directly In trout of a faruier'a barn Amos sat down to rest. Tbe farmer saw bim and came out aud asked questlous aud finally ordered bim to move ou aud helped bim with a kick. He did more. lie followed the wayfarer Into the vll lags and pointed bim out aa a sus picious person and bad bim arrested. Amos made no kick aud was arraign ed, convicted and sent to Jail for thirty days with great celerity. Tbe coo stable slapped his moutb when be started to protest, tbe judge said be looked like an unhung villain, and tbe jailer slammed bim Into a cell wltb so much violence tbat be was thrown down snd bad a Oncer broken. Amos Scbermerborn served bis thirty days in JaU and waa then warned to leave town witbln half an bour. He made straight for tbe office of a law- yer Instead, and before night there wa something to be talked of. Tbe farmer bo bad kicked bim was arrested for assault and battery, tbe constable wbn had run him In was arrested for false Imprisonment, the Judge got a sum mons for defamation of character, and the Jailer was arrested on tbe same charge as tbe farmer. Tbe Jndge bad been a Judge for fifteen years, and he bad always thought It witbln bis province to call a prisoner a son of s gun or any other old thing be happened to think of. He now learned tbat bis legal duties ceased with pronouncing sentence. He had defamed the character of a good man, and be bad to pay for 1L Amos bad 1250 In his bind pocket when be moved on, and be hadn't put In so hour at bard work. He bad another village In mind, and he beaded for li lt was a farmer again that gave bim away.

What alia yon Is that yon don't want work at any price Your kind Just want to tramp and beg. By John, there ought to be a jail big enough to bold you alir "I am not a tramp." mildly replied Amos. "Oh, yon are a gentleman, mebbef" "Well, 1 can pay my way." And tbe carpenter dug down and brought oat bH soli and held it np to view and walked off. "Gosbr exclaimed tbe farmer to himself. "But he's s highway robber or I never saw one! Like enougb be broke into a bouse last night. Well. I'll settle bis bssb mighty sudden f" And be went into the boose and tele phoned the constable at the village that there was a suspicious character bead ed that way, and Amos waa collared as soon aa be showed op.

U'REN, PEEVED, Ti Charles Edward Russell, the well known editor and economist, lectured to one of the largest audiences in the history of the Chautauqua Sunday night. His subject, "Soldiers of the Common Good," was ably handled and mado a great Impression. Mr. Bus sell was to have spoken In the after noon, but the train upon which he arrived in Portland waa lute, and I.ou J. ileauchamp lectured In hi stead. When Ileauchamp began shaking W. S. U'Ren Jumped Into the limelight and demanded of the management why Russell bad not appeared. Jones, the platform manager, explained that Russell had been delayed but would be on hand In tbe evening. This did not satisfy U'Ren and several Social ists from Portland, and they started to leave. Secretary Cross explained that tho possibility ot a change In the program had been announced several times and tbat tbe failure of Russell to appear was no fault of the man agement He said, however, that all persons who desired their money back could have it by applying at the gate. Nineteen took advantage of the offer. U'Ren waa ot the departing party. The program started with the som ber school at 8:11 o'clock Ileauchamp lectured on "New Ideas on an Old Subject" In the Chautauqua forum at 11 o'clock. GRAPES TOO GOOD BUGS. FOR ROSE' The rose chafer does much Injury to grapes, often destroying the entire crop soon after blossoming. In small gardens the vines may be protected by covering with mosquito netting. Where this Is Impracticable, spraying will bold them In check. Farm and Home says the New York experiment station has bad excellent success In using eight pounds arsenate ot lead and two gallons molasses with 100 gallons ot water. Spray should be applied as soon as the rose bugs ap pear. For the grape root worm spray twice, the first spraying about one week after the first beetles appear and the second spraying 10 days later. TRU8T NOT MOTH BALLS ONLY. Clothing and Furs Should Be Packed so that Moths Cannot Get In. Many housekeepers have the mis taken idea tbat camphor, mothballs, or similar preparations, will "kill" moths, or prevent their ravages, and that clothes packed away with plenty ot mothballs are safe. Many house keepers have learned that this Is a mistake, after losing perhaps valuable garments. The fact of the matter is that moth balls, camphor, cedar, etc., are not moth killers, but only moth repellents, that Is: Clean clothes free from moth eggs, properly packed away with moth repellents, will not attract the moth adults. The household editor of Farm and Home says: The proper way to pack away woolen winter clothes Is first to air and brush thoroughly, to make sure no moth eggs have found lodg ment In them. They may be packed In any receptacle, aa long as it Is free from cracks. Line with several thick nesses of newspaper, and pack away clothes with layers of newspaper be tween and camphor or mothballs wrapped In paper. Tuck each layer ot newspaper In well around the clothes newspaper (or rather, the printers' Ink) Is another moth repel lent Have tbe top layer paper, put the cover on and seal by putting paper over the cracks. That Is all there Is to It: Putting the clothes away In a clean, moth free state, and sealing them up so no moths can possibly get in. Furs can be packed and securely sealed In heavy paper bags using two bags, one within the other, each carefully sealed and they will be perfectly safe. CHICHESTER SPILLS BRAND - .

Confronted with opiHisltlmi by the local llrlck layers' I'll Ion to the nianti'iicturo ot brick at I lie penitentiary brick yard, Governor West today directed a let ter to the olltfors and members of the I union advising thmn that the alnte 1 had no Intention of engaging lu the I brick business and that as soon as the ! requisite number of brick needed for i the state buildings has been luanu- faclured the brickyard will be closed ' down. lie declares that the brickyard, lo begin with, placed brick on the open market only after he was requested to permit It to do ao by the unions, and ttmt neither requests from any or gnnUation or a famine In the brick business will Induce hint to manufact ure any more brick during the present season. The letter follows: "It has bmn brought to my atten tion through the columns ot Mispress that a resolution was passed by your I union declaring against the laying ot brick manufactured at the Oregon State Penitentiary and giving out the linprcaslon that this office waa mark 1 etlng prison mado brick In ronipetU , lion with that tiiaite hr free labor. ; "I wish to call your attention to ; the fact that no brick waa sold by tbe Oregon State Prison during my ad ministration until I received a request from the president of your honorable body and a letter, signed by the offl cers and carrying the seal of yourun i Ion, stating your willingness to lay these brick. As the request appear ed to be promoted by ar shortage of brick, this office, being glad of an opportunity to assist In any way In relieving a situation which was keep ing tunny men out of employment, consented to put the brick upon the market. We took If for granted thui when conditions had changed so as to make the sale ot prison made brick unnecessary or undesirable we would he officially not I tied by your honor able body and would be governed ac cordingly. I'P to date uo such com munication has been received but, on tho other hand, this office has been besieged not only by tbose who were desirous of purchasing brick but by certain manufacturers, asking that that we release more of the brick In the prison yard In order that a brick famine might be averted. In spite ot these requesta. however, we have per mitted but 4000 brick to be taken from the yard and these by persons who needed them for special pur posea or hurry-up Jobs and wore with out time to aend away for thorn. "The prison has no Intention ot launching into the brick business. What sales have been made have been based upon the letter sent this office by your union. All the brick we have on hand have been made for the use of the state and will be held for that purpoae. We were willing to continue further, however, and make sufficient tofcover any ahortage there might be In the brick market.

Every man, woman and child In the United States uses milk or milk prod ucts in some form. Are you doing your part to keep your milk clean and theirs? One of the worst sources ot trouble is lack of cleanliness In tbe care of the milk utensils. One of the chief things to remember Is that milk utensils should never be rinsed In hot water wlthodt being first rinsed In cold water. If hot water Is used, milk tbat may remain In the vessel is very likely to be ao harden ed that It can with difficulty be wash ed off. Rinse first In cold water, wash In hot water, using a washing powder If desired, then rinse in boiling water. In the summer, set utensils in sun light to dry. The final rinsing In hot water not only kills germs but so beats the palls that they will cool off quickly. , thus lessening tbe chance of susting. It Is economy to buy only the best grade of palls, cans and strainers A rusty pall shoud never be used or one in which tho. seams have become slightly opened. A milk house aids vry much In the proper care of milk and milk utensils. The size of the house, says Farm and Home, should be propor tioned to the number of cows milked. Some will find that a house as small as 8 by 10 feet will be sufficiently large. Buch a house should have concrete floor, cement plaster walla, or at least walls that can be readily washed, and enough windows to let In plenty of light. In summer, door and windows should be screened. PEARLS FOR FARMER AND WIFE. Lambs gain In weight during their first month largely In proportion to milk received. For this reason atten tion should be paid to the milking qualities of ewes. Here Is the recipe for an excellent sarsaparilla decoction to purify the blood: 81lce 1-4 pound sarsaparilla root thin and put over fire In two quarts water. Simmer 4 hours, strain, pounding root to mash, return to the liquid and boll down to 2 pints. Strain, cool and bottle. Tbe dose Is 1 table spoon in glass cold or bot water, sweetened to taste. The modern method of sealing Jelly glasses with melted paraffin has many advantages over tbe old-fashioned method of covering wltb paper. Tbe wax can be saved from year to year, melted over again and need many times. Farm and Home.
