CAPITAL AND BOOSTING
Los Angeles California, is the great
est product of the art of boosting on
the Pacific Coast. From, a dessert
country to one of the greatest cities
on the Coast has been the work of
only a very short while, with noth
ing to fall back upon or on which
to build except climate, and a few
people brought up in the right way,
educated to know that industry and
capital can do more for a district than
any other thing or hings. From a
lot of sand duns and river bed gravel
to prosperity and one of the best ad
vertised and generally known cities
of the world is a work of which any
community can well ' be proud. A
building site at .,4th and Spring
changed hands recently for hall, al
million which only a few years ago
was transferred for a consideration
of a team of horses.
We have everything, natural re
sources, a climate the equal of South
ern California eight or nine months
of the year, water power beyond com
parison in the states, land the equal
of any. Anything will grow here that
grows out of doors under equal cli
matic conditions. We have large mar-

kets being supplied largely from East
ern and other states for want of suf
ficient farmers, poultrymen and stock
raisers to supply the demand. Clack
amas County has over-700,000 acres
of tillable land with pnly a small per
cent in cultivation. We have people
the equal of any district, but we must
change our tactics and policies with
regard to capital; we have the mak
ing of ag reat industrial city no
one can deny that. We have every
thing to bring that end; but we must
all look forward to the time when
capital will accept our invitations
from the public generally as eviden
ced by the favorable laws tey pass
either at General elections or through
the Legislature, for capital in our
industrial center is more essential
then natural resources. Capital can
make artificial conditions but natural
resources lie unknown to the world
and our city remains " undeveloped
when .capital refuses to aid. Boost
and results will be forthcoming.
Knock and reward in like coin will
be our lot. We will grow as fast as
our conditions will allow, but no
growth will result with knocking such
as came to our ears during the recent
primary campaign. Clackamas Coun
ty deserves the cream of the indust
rial world. Will our people demand
the cream or be satisfied with, skim
med milk. We have some of the larg
est mills in the world of their kind;
they have grown with the coast from
one machine plants, until they are
now supplying, the demands of many
states; they have added machines as
the demand warranted until 1908,
since which year the natural increase
has gone elsewhere to states and
countries where capital and industry
are received with open arms. We
have sufficient power for mills of twice
the capacity and employing more than
double the number of men now on the
pay rolls. Do we want them?
.ELECTRIC RAILWAY RATES
We are thought unreasonable by
officials of the P. R. L. & P. Co.
while the people of the community
feel somewhat the same as those in
authority in the company referred to.
If what the company contends is true
then the Railway Commission of Ore
gon also comes in for some of' the
credit for the rates now in effect.
Jennings Lodge certainly has a griev
ance; the school children are entit
led to some consideration and if Ca
nemah's scenic railway is in the shape
reported someone should be called
down. Oregon City is a center; it
has natural trading districts; zones
on a railway system should not
change these natural conditions. We
heard more about zones Saturday
night than had we been in geography
class, but the torrid zone was most
in evidence. The next meeting should
bring results; so far we have gained
two points with two more points, we
can then make some concessions, aft
er which we trust all will ride to Ore
gon City on business or otherwise -on
4 and one-half cent tickets. Interest
ing we should think to our business
men.
Live Wirelets
(By Edgar Bates.)
Some fine day yesterday! A few
more and every ice cream stand in
town will be working overtime.
Looks like straw hat day hasn't
struck Oregon City yet.
Almost time to begin thinking aboHt
that vacation isn't it? Where will it
be this time, the mountains or sea
shore? Why not start today and save
all your small change for this big
trip.

There is considerable agitation in
Portland regarding deceitful adver
tising done by unscrupulous merch
ants. "Bankrupt," "Fire' and kindred
sales are extensively advertised. Our
city has in the past been remarkably
free of this class of store keepers,
and our home merchants have an en
viable reputation in refernce vto the
veracity of their advertisements.
.
the county clerks office is in a fair
way to establish a new record for li
censes issued. Has the fact that 1912
is divisable by 4 anything to do with
it? '
It won't be long before the old fa
miliar yellow water wagon will again
be seen on the streets.

An office man in the Beaver build
ing has been greatly annoyed, by find
any place In the hall. After investi
gation it was found out that the car
rier always placed the paper in front
of the office door but other people,
anxious to read the news would take
the paper, read it, and then toss it
on the floor where ever they happen
ed to be. The office man came down
town a bit early Saturday and found
three men reading the same, paper,
who, when they saw. the office man,
dropped Ihe paper and walked away.
The office man "?as somewhat anger
ed but curbed his temper and gently
said, -"Say, you fellows gota quit
kickin' my Enterprise around." r
,. Ten hours after the Titanic sank,
singers in New York picture shows
were introducing the latest 'When the
Big Ship Goes JDown.'
' Heinze, the fifty-seven variety man
is looking over Portland to choose
a suitable site for a plant. "Knockers
say there are a lot of sites" in Port
land that should be "pickled." The
pickle man knows his business.
.
Cooking with paper bags seems to
be getting more and more popular.
In roasting meats, the bag method
eliminates a lot of extra work in
washing pans, etc., but when it comes
to roasting "mere man" a woman
doesn't need a paper bag."
" The "Pink Lady" must be a peach
one of the boys went to the city last
night to see her and he hasn't re
turned yet.
What next? We have the Pink
Lady the Pink Lady music, Pink La

ice cream "creation called the Pink
Lady, Pink Lady shade of pink and
Pink Lady cigarettes. Who will Start

The Multnomah Club swimmers are
trying to break several records in
their new tank. We have a few citi
zens right in our town who hold en
viable "tank" records. .

This is about the time of the year
when school teachers begin to wonder
about their berths for next year.
BANNER SEASON
FOR OARSMEN
1912 Season Promises to Be
Greatest In American History,
BIS REGATTAS SCHEDULED.
Watch the automobile contest.
Opening Event Will Be at Annapolis
When Columbia Meets Naval Acad
emy National Association Contests
at Peoria. III., Aug. 9 and 10.
The American rowing .schedule for
the season of 1912 is one of the best
arranged. Not only will it bring to
gether more varsity crews than have
hitherto met In u single season, but
the bout club associations will make a
record for the number of their regat
tas and the entries thereto.
These regattas have been decided
upon, and every enthusiastic follower
this season -will get the finest array of
sport. Furthermore, the meets are to
be held ait such time and ut points
that all rowing fourti no matter where
their resiliences may be. can be ou
hand at one or another date and place
with little loss of time.
The chief event, of course, will be
the iu'.ercollcgiate regatta at I'ough
keepsie. where Columbia. Cornell. Pecn
syhaniu. S.vracuse and Wisconsin will
come together on the picturesque Hud
son four mile stretch.
Next In importance perhaps will be
the Vale-Harvard races nt New Lon
don. And It looks as though this an
nual fixture will not be quite as one
sided as it lias been jn the past.
But this season we are to have more
preliminary varsity crew races than
ever before And these will conclu
sively show, for the year at, least, the
superiority of Poujihkeepsie or New
London. The full American rowing
schedule for the year is:
May 4 United States Naval academy
plebes versus the University of Pennsyl
vania freshmen at Annapolis.
May 11 United States Naval academy
first crew versus Columbia university var
sity crew at Annapolis.

first crew versus Syracuse university var
sity crew at jtnHapolIsT-
.May 18 United States Naval academy
second crew versus Syracuse university
second crew at Annapolis.

OcC I2-New Ungland Amateur Rowing

The amateur American champion
ships at Peoria, III, will end the great
est week of rowing this country has
ever seen. Daring the meet three bod
ies will hold regattas he Central
States Amatenr Rowing association,
the Southwestern Amateur Rowing as
sociation and the National Association
of Amateur Oarsmen. And at this
meet the American "nweep men and
scullers can be compared with the best
men at the English Henley as well as
at the Olympic games.
The Argonaut Rowing Club of Tor
ronto is to send abroad its eight and
four, which won both the American
and Canadian championships in their
respective classes last year; also that
phenomenal sculler E. B. Butler, who
swept everything before him both here
and In Canada, is going along. This
crowd, under the coaching of Joe
Wright, is sure to render a good ac
count They are to have a busy season. In-'
deed. After Henley and Stockholm
they will return at once for their own
Canadian Henley on Ang. 2 and 3 and
then go to Peoria, 111., where they will
row throughout the week.
The Arundel Boat club four of Balti
more, which won at Saratoga last sum
mer, has been entered for the Olympic
games, but it is doubtful whether this
crew will go abroad, as there are no
funds available for sending it
