f LTHOUCiH THi: PROl'OSKP ROAP BONUS have been
C crushed beneath a ercat majority, the recent campaipi, even though
it was unorinizeil and unconnected, has done much to educate the
people of Clackamas Count)- in road matters. Kven in those precincts
where the vote was almost 100 to 1 against the bonds, the great majority
of the voters have been impressed with the fact that under the present condi
tions, Clackamas County roads are for the most part, of the worse type.
The fact that since llK7, over a million and a quarter has been spent in the
present system of mud and dut highways, was not disputed by the most
rabid of the bond opponents. The issue in the road bord campaign was not
whether or not Clackamas County needed better roads must have them
to rtow to be the county which is possible but how was the best w ay to
build them. The condition of Clackamas County roads was not the ques
tion disputed.
This acknowledged fact that Clackamas County roads are a detriment
to every citizen and taxpayer will slowly grow into a realization that in bonds
and by bonds alone lies the future of the county's highways. As time goes
on more and more voters w ill learn this fact until the time is reached when
enough are convinced to carry the project at the polls- B ' he n'me
ru-lam. Countv should have a good roads organization, a body composed
of farmers and business men, of doctors and laborers, a democratic bo.lv with
members from every walk of life and with members from every part of
the county, to so missionary w ork for good roads. Such a body would hurry
that happy time when the people of Clackamas w ill find the right way to con
struct roads and the right kind to construct the two issues in the road prob
lem. The good to the community of a powerful good roads organization and
the power exerted toward good roads would soon be realized ana appreciate
by ever)' citizen in Clackamas County.

ELL, THE ELECTION IS OVER, defeated candidates are mak-
ing excuses, and the winners are planning for the final campaign
in the fall. In the state there was an unusuatly large number of
candidates for nomination although on the Democratic ticket, the second larg
est political division in the state, there were 60 jobs without candidates for
nomination. It has been estimated that about 150,000 voters would turn
out and although at the present time returns are far from complete, it is
thought likely that the number of votes cast will slightly under that number.
Defeated candidates should forget some of the personalities injected in
to the primary campaign and get behind their party's candidate. In the
state offices this spirit is needed by both parties, particularly regarding the
candidates for governor. Before the election Friday, the Democrats were
divided into factions, almost as strong as party lines, each faction with a can
didate of its own.' Now that party has picked its most popular man and all
those who claim to be a Democrat should get behind him and work for the
success of their candidate. The same is true regarding the Republicans, al
though the latter party has not been split as have the Democrats.
It is clear that from now on the contest for the state offices as well as the
county will lie between the two parties, with now and then an independent
candidate. U'Ren, with his fantastic theories, is the most prominent inde
pendent man. . Many claim that with the fanners' vote behind him, the single
tax advocate will clean the field, but the reckon wrong and ail to take into
consideration the strength of the leading parties which will be combined
against U'Ren. B. Lee Paget, who by the way is a resident of Clackamas
county, is in a peculiar position. There is no candidate for state treasurer on
the Democratic ticket and some of the leading papers of the state, regardless
of political color, have gotten behind him. Paget is the regular Prohibition
ist candidate.
The first step of the political fight which has just been closed has been
almost free from any mud slinging. Except for a few personalities between
two Portland papers, the battle has been clean and the spirit, "let the best
man win,""has prevailed.
THE ROAD BOND ISSUE has been defeated. A majority larger
than its best friends or its worst enemies had expected, thoroughly
demonstrated the wishes of the voters of Clackamas county. There
can never be any doubt but than in the spring of 1914, the people of this
county were almost united in their opinion for once, at least
The road bonds have been defeated ; the cause for which the Enterprise
fought has been lost, has been crushed beneath a great majority of voters, and
the Enterprise is glad to see that there is no doubt on the issue ; that the voters
of the county are united in such a way. If four voters oppose the bond issue
to every' one who favors it, then there should be no complaint from either
knockers or boosters, for such is the will of the people and their will is su
preme. The fight for the bond issue in Clackamas county was carried on with
out an organization of any kind. There was no real campaign made as there
was in other counties, such as Marion. The series of articles published in
the columns of the Enterprise was the only consistent effort made and with
a few talks and debates, unorganized and unconnected, the true nature of
the "campaign" can be easily seen.
The bond issue has been snowed under but it has not been downed for
good. And when it does come up again the Enterprise will be right there
will what power it possesses in Clackamas county to aid the measure.

hop grow ing state in the union, are organizing agaiiM prohibition,

interests.
The purpose of the organization is narrow. The members will fight a
measure which is recognized to be for the good of the state for their own
personal cain. Thev want the state to remain "wet so that the market tor
hops will be better and breweries will not be prejudiced a-ainst Oregon
growers. It has probably never occurcd to the men who are organizing this
campaign that by far the largest amount of their investment is in land and
that Oregon land will grow many profitable crops besides hops. If the
brewing interests would refuse to purchase Oregon hops, the state would not
be affected as the same land could be used to produce any of a score of much
more useful crops.
The arguments of the hop growers is much the same as advanced when
the sewing machine was invented and tailors mobbed the man who invented
,r When the sewinc machine first came in use hundreds of tailors were
thrown out of employment and it was some time before the machine was
recognized as a benefit. If the nation goes "dry" and all hop growing is
stopped a temporary depression is natural but when hop fields are planted in
grain, the state and the farmers will be in a Petter condition tii.m ever nciore.

mHF. STATE BL'REAU OF INDUSTRIES AND STATISTICS
hits issued the following review ot tne recent election:
"A review of the state primary election from an industrial and
business standpoint shows that a great step in advance has been taken toward
sane policies favorable to development.
"Conservative candidates have been nominated by the Republicans, Dem
ocrats, and Progressives, although the hitter's part has become almost a neg
ligible quantity in Oregon politics.
"Every candidate who stood for a radical or freak policy in the race for
governor has been snowed under and one of the nominess has come out for
a program of industrial upbuilding.
"Those advocating the $1500 tax exemption and the taxation of estates
to support the unemployed on good wages were badly left.
"Many of the candidates for governor initiated as prt of their cam
paign, bills containing radical propositions and some of these will have to go
on the ballot in November.
"Some candidates won places on the party tickets because they were in
office and had the advantage of running against a divided field and are min
ority nominees.
"At the November election there will be further scrutiny of the various
party candidates and a further weeding out from the standpoint of a return
to good business conditions."
"The result of the primary is to show that the people of Oregon are
tired of crucifying industries and enterprises at the bi.l of political adventur-
"A state with raw materials and undeveloped wealth and with abund
ance of efficient laboring men and women only needs fair laws to invite capi
tal and attain the highest prosperity.
"Unjust taxation laws and policies of too much interfering with em
ployment of labor and capital have done much to create apathy and bad busi
ness conditions in this state.
"The tide has turned and Oregon again invites investments upon lair
and equal terms, under which labor w ill be well employed and all kinds of
business will revive."

FINANCIAL ADVICE
Many people meet with money
losses through lack of advice in
money matters. This bank's
experiance and judgment is al
ways at the service of its custo
mers, and has been the means
of saving many of them from
serious losses.

to the Chautauqua grounds at Glad
stone with money raised by the mem
bers. Harvey E. Cross spoke on the pro
gram arranged tor the Chautauqua this
year. That the program for June,
1914. was the best balanced which had
Uff-n secured for a long time was the
statement of Mr. Cross. Chautauqua
this year will extend from June 7 to
19.
I DIFFERENT STYLES
OF
The varioua alzea and styles of
strawberry crates in which the fruit
is 'marketed this season has been con
siderable worry and trouble to whole
salers as well as to retailers.
Six different styles of packages
have been marketed to date this sea
son and the local product is Just be
ing marketed. The packages now used
by most interests Is the pint measure
in crates containing 24 boxes. This
Is closer to the package that the trade
has been accustomed to using than
others and for that reason is most pop
ular. It is unlawful In most states to sell
strawberries that do not come In full
measure packages and for that reason
most of the growers have adopted tne
pint packages. The old style hallocks
which were formerly most In vogue
here and in some other sections, are
barred from many markets for the
reason that while the package Is gen
erally called a quart measure. It falls
to hold that much fruit
The Dint rackage not only meets
! the requirement of the laws of the
country but It is betier for the snipper
of fruit because the berries are better
protected during transit and there
fore arrive at their destination In the
b-t possible condition. In the old
style ballock or so called square box.
the fruit did not make long journeys
or even short ones without consider
able damage from rough handling.
A sale of about 80 ables of hops In
the Mount Angel section is reported to
the Sealey Hop company around 15c a
pound. The hops were reported as
choice.
The same Interests purchased recent
ly 125 bales of the C. M. Johnson lot
at Forest Grove around 14c a pound.
Several other lots are reported tak
en by other dealers, but the trade is
generally reported slow, although
Hhowlng practically no change In val
ues. While there are reports of contracts
being made, none are confirmed by
dealers. They claims that some of the
contracts now reported were made sev
eral weeks ago. The present market
for contracts is ruling between 13 to
lie a pound, with outside interests not
anxious.
According to dealers, the condition of
the hop crop Is about aa good as can
b expected. While the ueual com
plaints regarding the old yards are re
ported, all of the new yards are snow
ing good condition, and the same is
true of many of the older plantings.
With the increased acreage that will
come Into hearing this aeason, the
trade does not, however, believe mat
the 152,000 bale crop of last year will
be quite equalled.

of materials and (treat care is taken to
keep an accurate record of the amount
of wear and tear aa well as or the

These experiments were made In tna
