THE EXPECTED When the agita ta AS HAPPENED tion against the county court, whlih culminated Sat urday In the pronouncedly biased re port of the committee of three ap pointed at "mass meeting" of ym pathetic heart, waa first started, The Enterprise took occasion to re mark editorially, that the entire af fair waa a "frame-up" upon the part of come disgruntled folk who were aeeklng their own ends. Following the culmination of the matter, The Enterprise again takes occasion to ay that the whole agitation was a "frame-up," and not at all a credit able one at that. Following the first charge by this paper that the attack on the county court wa unfair, biased and per sonal, the committee of three stal warts appointed to seek the real truth and light, called upon the Live Wires of the Commercial club, and asked that a committee from its member ship be appointed to act with them in the investigation, so that there would be no question aa to the fairness of the probe. The Live Wires appointed Mr. 0. D. Eby, Mr. John Loder and Mr. W. S. U'Ren, the latter resign ing before any meetings were held. How flimsy was this effort to gain "fair play'' has since been shown by the manner in which the representa tives of the Live Wires were treated, and by the way in which they were forced from the hall at Saturday's meeting. The committee of three did not want the Live Wires to inter fere with their "frame-up," and they saw to It that there was neither Inter ference nor even participation In their deliberations. The attitude of the committee of three is perhaps best expressed in the words of their own report, which follows: , , ' "We received this committee (the Live Wires) with uncalloused hands. and are ready to return them in the same condition. They were of no use whatever, and as soon as we found the drift of their intentions, we decided to let them work for themselves, and make their own re- Probably no plainer statement could be made of the fact that the honorable gentlemen from the Live Wires would not stoop to the dirty work of the committee of three. Well, the committee has bad its little time on the stage, and has sat isfied itself. It has done its part in the lltt'o serio-comic, anf has retired before an audience specially selected to praise it. The members of the committee stand pleased and proud of their work, and believe that they have the vociferous backing of the hundred or so who came to hear fair play at Saturday's session of the joint committee. That this audience did not hear the report of the joint com mittee, but only of the "steering com mittee" seems not to concern them in the least; for In closing their verbose conclusions they give vent to this scintillating outburst: "We do recommend that the taxpayers insist upon a more ac curate way of keeping the records of the transactions as any citizen of In telligence could locate the cost of from the. records, which we are satis fied no man can do as the accounts are now kept." Brothers three In u personal cause managed to find these records suffici ently clear so they could base there on their report. The question arises, therefor, as to their intelligence. Or do they mean that they want the county records so kept that citizens not of Intelligence can understand them, and so that intelligent citizens cannot? Intelligent citizens now I A SURPLUS FROM YOUR DAY'S WORK ASK YOURSELF WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR NOT SAVING. HAVE YOU ANY GOOD REASONS. WHEN YOU SAVE, YOU PROVIDE FOR THE FU TURE BY STORING UP THE SURPLUS OF EACH DAY'S LABOR. THIS SURPLUS IS A MORTGAGE ON THE FUTURE, A SOURCE OF ADDITIONAL INCOME. THIS SURPLUS SAVED NOW WILL BE OF GREATER VALUE TO YOU IN THE FUTURE THAN IF SPENT TODAY. START TO SAVE NOW. THE BANK OF seem able to discover what they de sire from the records, which evident ly displeases the committee of three; so it must be that they do not want such practices roiuiuued. The report of thl committer, print A elsewhere In these columns. Is submitted to the voter by The En torprise a the moat strlklnir evidence possible In support of It original contention that the whole miserable business wa a frame-up,"' and that no twisting of word will ever make It Into anything else. THE OTHER SIDE The Enterprise OF THE MATTER in this Issue prints the report of the Live Wires' commit tee that Investigated the charges pre ferred against the county court This report is published, as was the report of the committer of three taat took things In Us ow n hands at the mass meet Ins last week, ae a matter of news In which all citlxons of the county should be Interested. The Live Wires, (hough being dubbed "useless"' by the committee of three, made an independent Investigation of the various complaints submitted, and The Enterprise is of the opinion that on the face of things the Live Wires have more thoroughly probed the several matters than did Messrs. Drown. Schuebel and Casto. Called into the matter by the first committee to see that fair play should be the ruling spirit of the Investiga tion, the gentlemen from the Live Wires had no personal bias In the complaints at hand, and took up each charge with an open mind. The find ings of their probe are given in a dignified form, and show a much greater thoroughness than did the superficial and Indefinite mountings of the disgruntled trio who, as this pa per has before charged, deliberately organized a protest upon county mat ters as the Initial step in a "frame up," the object of which was to add strength to their abortive recall move ment Readers of The Enterprise are urg ed to read both reports, and then to read them a second time. Each read er Is asked to pass judgment in the matter on the evidence submitted in the two sets of findings, and In form ing such judgment Is asked to take Into consideration the form and word ing of the two reports. If this Is done. The Enterprise believes that most of Its readers will agree that this paper has been justified In all that it has said about the committee of three, its methods and Its means of attaining Its ends; and will conclude that the county officials have in the main fulfilled their oath to the citi zens who elected them to office. IMMIGRANTS Interesting comment AND OTHERS ary upon the consist ency of the American people, and of Oregon people in particular. Is to be found in the news dispatches these aavs. iir Portiana Toere-are -uu held a series of meetings to devise was and means of attracting to the state settlers from ths north of Eu rope, whom it Is believed will ma'n excellent citizens .and who will de velop the vast agricultural possibili ties of the vacant stretches within Oregon's borders. The first meeting is to concern Itself principally wi:u the extension of Germon Immigration. One hundred and twentyfour miles south of Portland, In Eugene, at a meeting of ministers of one of the In fluential churches of the state, there arose Wednesday a discussion as to the advisability of permitting the fur ther immigration to Oregon of Jap anese, and particularly such Japanese as would till the soil and develop farmland not desired by people of other racial characteristics. The gen eral opinion of tnose present seemed to be that the Japanese were not wanted. One minister had the brav ery to say that "it is un-Christian of us, but we do not want the Japanese." Thus it would appear that Improve ment of the state's agricultural po tentialities Is not the only thing to be desirr-d it makes a difference wheth er the improvement is to be brought about by Japanese or by some other nationality. Without prejudice, It Is a safe bet that the Japanese will accomplish more intensive agricultural improve ment than will the Germans to tunc tb :in an an example, becaue the first Immigration conference Is to concern Germans. In the matter of scientific agricultural work, trained Germans OREGON CITY will prupably accomplish more than the Japanese; but It I dollar to doughnut our friend from north ern Europe woul.l turn up their Teu tonic nous . niuiNi of th land tlint Is 11(11101 by the Immigrant from tit" Mikado's realm, mid which they make pay big dividend. Experience ' (it other slate has shown that the. n.iru- orti European nations prvfer first class land, while natives of sotit'ieni Europe will not be so particular, and will gladly take what they ran get, as do tho .apaneso. Oregon has plenty of land f all varHle. Shxt has some laud that nothing short of a miracle will ever make fertile or productive, aud some land that just n.iturally growa crops. whether It I tended or not. With this condition of affairs, and with tho nations of tho earth differing lu their tastes and inclinations, It would seem the part of wisdom for this state not to tag along at the lead of California and draw the dead line at any particu lar kind of Immigration, as long as tho new arivals hud a certain d grve of Intellectual standard. California, which just now Is so distrait over the Japanese ques.tou, Is mora gouoraliy developed than Oregon, and can af ford to pick and choose and be a flnnlcky as an old ma Id. Also he ha lea land to spare; and also. It Is reported, she ha had 'some unpleas ant experience with Japanese set tlers in the past Oregon's principal need I develop ment She should welcome any and all races that will come tn aud help her with the work of attaining her destiny, and who will at the same time behave themselves. She has room for Germans, Scandinavians, Poles and Japanese, as well as all the others. She has land to suit the requirements and pocket-books of all. and she Is In no condition to pick and choose. It Is meet aud fitting that she should try to encourage Immigra tion from northern Europe; but as long as the Industrious "Yankees of the Orient' are willing to come In L and lease bottom land, and make two stalks of celery grow where before was but one skunk cabbage, Oregon has no license to Imitate California and mouth about the yellow peril. Oregon needs to have ber land do veloped, and the more varied and dif ferentiated are those who do the work, the better will Oregon's growth be, and the sooner will she be tn a position worthy of her size and re sources. BETTER THAN Toung women of "SOCIAL WORK" Gladstoue have or ganized a baseball team. Daily they may be observed at practice on the school grounds, and a healthier and happier set of girls would be bard to find. In their exercise they are re futing the time-worn charge that "a girl can't throw straight." and are al so proving that In baseball, as In oth- matter in which femininity excels. These Gladstone girls are doing some thing more than just playing baseball, too; they are learning self reliance, forbearance and rapidity of decision. They are getting general exercise, they are slapping Mrs. Grundy in the face each time they swing a bat, an1 they an; developing true character; for nothing so quickly does away with pettlshness as participation in com petitive sport. Some folk do not think the girls ought to play baseball. Tbey fear It will harden them. Probably It will, but only In a beneficial way. Other fault-finders declare that It will cause the young ladles to become "unwom anly." If being "womanly" consists In timidity, lack of power to make quick decision, laxity of muscle and bodily development, and false mod esty, probably baseball Is making these girls "unwomanly." Probably they don't care to sit around the sew ing circle and tear their neighbor's reputations to shreds, probably they take no Interest in scandal, probably these young women ball players pre fer stories of constructive merit to the writings of 'The Duchess." Prob ably they would rather go out and spilt wood for a sick woman than to lounge by the fire and embroider a pink bib for the ailing woman's baby. And probably as a result they will grow up to be better women, truer to their duties In this world, and better able to become good wives nnd home builders. There Is a lot more hope In this world for a girl w ho has the nerve to try and dash home from third, when there are two out and a weak siBtcr at hat, than there Is for the girl who stands scoffing off at one side and tiott s that because the players don't ! wear hair-nets their locks are coming j down as a result of the exertions of the game. The baseball girls of ' Gladstone will amount to something, i one of these days, and when they do they will he glad they played baseball I in their youth Instead of golns to pink teas and eating pickles, cake, tea I and coffee. ONE MAN'8 Thomas G. Farrel, can OPINION3 ner of salmon that is to say a man who is heavily Interest ed In a canning establishment writes a letter to The Oregonian In which he declares that commercial fiBhing on the Willamette is "one of the greatest crimes against conser vation." There are many resident of this city who believe the same thing, and who say It In private con versation. I'.ut these men do not come out, as dors Mr. Farrell, and say it publically. Most of the local people who are opposed o commer cial fishing, and who want the river "closed," are members of the Clack amas County Rod & Gun club, and If they really feel this way about It, It seems to The Enterprise that It should be the action of the club to declare Itself officially agalnat com mercial fishing. In speaking of the evils of com mercial fishing, Mr. Farrol has the following to y; "In the Willamette rlv. r very early In the spring the Chinook salmon gather tn their efforts lo surmount the fails and gain (heir pamuii ground on the upper reaeje of the rtv.T imd It trlbutnrlci. These fish are tho very cream of (he cream of salmon. They are the earliest run of his royal fish. If cuss are desired from which the hatcheries may pro pagate salmon It Is from these fish they should be taken. Tho first sal mon that como in from the ocean are always the best. "Two days after I visited '.ho fnlls tho market fishermen with their nets were turned loose on this horde of fish the fish of all fish wanted for propagation. Prior thereto on the rocks and even on the walls of the pulp mills were the location uum Lcrs for tiie set nets which on Mny 1 would be spread. Through the pool And reaches below the fall would sweep the gill nets. I think I can ay without far of contradiction that In one night the nets would take more fish than would all the angler combined during an entire season, in lour or rive auys tne larg er part of this army of salmon are taken and fishing with angling de vices or nots Is practically at an end. May 3, the gasoline tender from the cauntng establishment In which I am owner, gathered at Oregon City over 20.000 pounds of these grand fish but a portion of the night catch Yea, on my own boat The fish are being caught and will be sold and I may a well have them, but the tak ing of any salmon other than with hook and line, between the fulls and the Clackamas Rapids ',s, to my mind, a crying shame and something that we will all rue some day." WRONG AS TO Speaking before the CLACKAMAS conference on the con ervatton of human life, at '.he Reed Institute. Professor E. P. Cubberly, of department of education at In land Stanford uulversltv, expressed the opinion that school districts ought to be eliminated, and the coun ty made the unit of control of rural schools. Prof. Cubberly also sug gested that the small school house should be abolished, and educatloual work concentrated In larger unites. This may be so In California, but It Is not So In Oregon, aud least of all Is It so In Clackamas county. The state law here provides that when ever there is uftlclent demand, school districts can unite and estab lish a union high school, and thus fulfill the need for higher education near to end accessible to the rural communities. Clackamas county has several examples of such rural high schools, a!! cf which are doing a great work. As to the small schools they have proved a blessing to the children of this county, enabling many to get an education who other wise would be barred from early training utterly, or else be forced to leave their homes and go away to school at the very age when home life Is most necessary for them. AS TO THOSE. It Is worthy of note RESOLUTIONS that Saturday's "mass meeting" endorsed two resolu tions that had been previously pre pared for such endorsement when the psychological moment might arrive. One of these resolutions censures The Enterprise for attacking the Integ rity and honesty of the mass meet ing committee nnd In the same breath praises a local weekly for Its noble stand In the cause of the attack on the county court. The Enterprise has not printed anything In Its news col umns but actual news In connection with this affair. In Its editorial col umns it expressed Its own opinions. As to tho r-Ht of the first resolution, It should he easy for tbe chairman of a well organized committee to get that committee's endorsement for his own paper. The Becoud resolution "whooped It up' for the recall. Unfortunately, however, for those patriots who want to spend the county funds to obtain their own ends, recalls are not to bo had upon mere resolutions. ESSAY CONTEST Announcements of awards In the essay contest conducted by the Clackamas County School league has been made by Samuel Adler, and are as follows: Division A Ninth and tenth grades: First prize, Alice Carpen ter, of Molalla; second prize, Hllde grade fipellman, of Estacada.

May 14. 1913 (Editor of the Enterprise )-1 would like to call the attention of your readers to one of the resources of Oregon City for health and pleasur), which I think has been somewhat ov erlooked. I refer to the Willamette River. Nobody forgets Its water pow r and we are constantly reminded or its attractions for fishermen, but how many people bave ever discovered the beauty of tho river and It bank by taking a long anil up or down It. Hard ly a pleasure boat la to be aen on Its wator and yet there never was a river better adapted to canoeing all they wny to Corvallls. If not farther At this s-uaon above the fnlls the riv er extends for mile as smooth aud deep as a mill pond, but less used than when the native savages made It a hli'hway. f had occnshrrr Inut Wrtk Ur discov er the rlv?r by taking the steamer that leaves Oregon City for Salem or Corvallls at about nine o'clock every day except Sunday. It Is a large and comfortable boat for a day's trip ami rarely over-crowded. At this aiasoti the passlug panorama of the shores is a constaut delight to any lover of rustle beauty. The Willamette doe not boast the grandeur of the Colum bia, but w Inils b 'tween green shores reflecting their foliage in unlet waters and enlivens here and tbero with peaceful farm houses. Not many towns or ev n villages are visible from the boat's deck, no towering moun tains or Rhlneland cnstles, but any one wh, wants a day's vacation from the demands of civilization can easily obtain it along the peaceful waters of the Willametu. I discovered that one can sail on in tiie up bound boat for half a day or so till he meets the boats going down and be transferred to It nnd reach home In Oregon City In tlnn for a six o'clock supper. If ever there was a pleasure excursion that was not an exertion this Is It. The stops ure few and viry uncertain. Occasionally some cordwood Is taken on to keep! the steam up, now and then some In dividual announces that he wants to land about here and the steamer puts hi nose Into the beach and lets him off on a board. Sometimes the boat goes bump Into the bushes and you discover there Is a trail to the waters edge and a landing Is made for some body's horse. Tbs owner snouts from shore to In quire If his horse Is there and comes out of tho wofxls to claim him and lead him away Into the woods, ('nee In a while some one shouts or waves a hand and the accommodating cap tain plflis him up. The most mod Tn looking object we saw was the bridge of the Oregon Electric over the river at WHsonvllle the nolsest was a saw mill near New burg. The blus heron dies slnng the lonely shore, the eagle circles up to the blue sky, the fish Jump near the shore nnd the birds are singing on th i. bands Sco.ch bloom droop In graceful abandon here and there and the dogwood gleams agnlnst the dark evergreens. It Is enough to nttrrct tourists who love nature In it r gent lier moods but It Is unspoiled by crowds. It would seem as If msde for the people of Oregon City when they want the luxury of a day away from home. Wj some times miss the cheap and easy luxuries at our door. One might travel far nnd spend mucb for far less rest and pleasure than he can have on our own Willamette. GEO. NELSON EDWARDS. P, E. Sl E. ROUTE EA8Y The Portland, Eugent c Eastern railway has completed work and lnid ties on Its line to Molalla as far as the Molalla river, which. Is about four miles from Canby. The line over which this portion Is built Is of easy construction, and involves none of the difficult engineering which the Clackamas Southern railroad has en countered the first few miles out of Oregon City. From Canby, the Port land, Eugene & Eastern has practi cally level ground to run over for the flr-it few miles; while the Clack amas Southern has had some difficult work out of Oregon City for two or three miles.

Yale with "conspiring" with the mayor and city council to hold office a assistant city engineer, preferred by Henry Mel drum, came up for trial before the circuit court Teusday. City Attorney William Stone represented Mr. Yale, and put over an unexpected coup up on the plaintiff when he filed a dis claimer with th court, thereby knock ing out the trial. The opposlug force had on hand a large number of wltnenses, and It I said were planning to get Into the court rscord considerable testimony not favorable to the present city ad ministration. Following the dis claimer there wa, of course, no trial and no testimony, and the court or dered an order prepared according to the uuexpovti'd development In tip) case. The suit wa (he outgrowth of fac tional dispute at the time Mr. Yulo aiHiimrd office a city engineer li was shown at that time that lie wa uncpiallfled. under the charter, to hold office, a be wa not a resident of the cltr. Suit waa filed to oust him, but Mr. Yale headid this action off by promptly resigning. The coun cil then appointed ('. 8. Noble city engineer, and Mr. Yale was appointed assistaut tity englnoer. Following this It wu charged Hint (his wa merely a ruse, and that the mayor aud council had agreed with the en gineer that Mr. Noble wa to have the title of rlty engineer, but Mr. Yulo tin tu rocelve the salary. Tend the preseiil suit, Mr. Yale severed his connection with city affair and r turucd to professional work In I'ort- Innd.
