CLACKAMAS PRODUCTS
With all the rumors of boom and
increased land values due to railroad
activities, the soil of Clackamas con
tinues in its regular line of work
producing. We have a country, sec
ond to none that will grow anything
that can grow out of doors in other
tropical climes. Ot course we must
aid nature in its work and anyone
thinking he can produce without do
ing his part, is sure to fail, but with
ordinary aid, Clackamas County farms
show far above the average and when
it comes to animals, dairy products,
chickens and hogs where can you find
a country to equal our possibilities.
Hogs are as good as the proverbial
gold mine and will always command
high prices. Nature continues in its
efforts to please and if we will but
do our duty, we cannot lose.
RAILROADS AND PROSPERITY
There are so many railroad stories
afloat these days that one would al
, most be led to believe that our prin
cipal crop this year is to be railroads
Exaggeration Is
the Besetting
Sin of the
Age
By Professor JOHN WILLIAM BURGESS. Educator
eXAGGE RATION IS THE BESETTING SIN OF THE AGE.
The epirit of the age finds its expression in an unprece
dented tendency toward OVERSTATEMENT, OVER
i EXERTION, OVEREVERYTHLNG.
In our travel we exaggerate our speed at the expense of life and
those benefits which ought to come from journeying. In our daily
lives WE EXAGGERATE LUXURY at the expense of reason and
Bometimes of right Everywhere WE EXAGGERATE SHOW at
the expense of comfort. In our colleges we exaggerate sport at the
expense of discipline and scholarship.
The spirit of exaggeration I have mentioned is not peculiar to the
colleges. Were that the case then this would be a sad day for educa
tion in this country. Exaggeration is the rule, not the exception. It is
LIMITED TO NO SECTION, TO NO SPHERE, BUT BOUNDED
ONLY BY THE FRONTIERS OF THE NATION.
It is peculiarly American. It may be that its effects are saddest
in the educational field. They seem so to me, but perhaps I lack per
spective in my view of them.
WHAT
BY PUTTING-
With two or three projected lines, the
Clackamas Southern a surety, the
Portland Railway, Light and Powe
Company building on the West side-,
the Southern Pacific either buying or
building, the Hill people surveying,
and other sniffing around, we are to
be tied up in a net work of railroads
which can only spell one thing, "Boom
for our locality." Everything comes
with railroad competition and every
thing comes to him who waits. Oregon
City has waited patiently and is be
ing rewarded for its patience. Watch
us grow.
Portland residents with large lawns
are complaining about the water rules
making it necessary for all to irri
gate their gardens at tne same hour.
If the weather department continues
to deal out April weather the balance
of the year as it has so far this sum
mer, there will be no need for irri
gation. This is certainly an unusual
year from weather and political
points of view.
FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
PARK IS DEFENDED
Morning Enterprise,
To the Editor: In Tuesday's pa
per I notice a communication from
"Observer," which reflects unfavorably
upon the management of Clear Creek
Park. We think "Observer' has a
keener sense of observation than of
justice. He should have called the at
tintion of those in authority before
rushing into prir,t.
The present management wishes to
cater to respectable feople only and
will welcome any information that will
help to keep away objectionable char
acters. The people who are camped in the
park say that they have not been di
turbed by any one.
A CAMPER.
T
VETOES WOOL BILL
(Continued from page 1)
out of employment of thousands of
workmen."
The bill sent to the White House im
posed an ad volrem duty of 29 per
cent on raw wool and on clothes of 49
per cent. Both rates, Mr. Taft held,
were insufficient to protect the wool
grower and the manufacturer.
It was predicted today that the wool
bill might be passed by the House ov
er Mr. Taft's veto, but there was some
doubt as. to its fate in the Senate. Re
publican leaders were inclined to be
lieve that it would fail of passage
there, as it did 12 months ago.
Enameling.
The process known as enameling is
of modern origin. On the contrary, it
goes back to a venerable antiquity.
Excellent enamel is still preserved on
some of the bricks that have been
found among the ruins of old Babylo
nia and Assyria, which have been
placed back as far as the seventh or
eighth century B. C. Beautiful glazes
were made by the Egyptians as early
as the sixth dynasty. The Greeks and
Romans were acquainted with the art
of enameling, as the museums of the
world clearly show.

People's Power
League Humbug
(Morning Oregonian)
U'Ren, McAllister, Cridge, Eggle
ston and one or two other chosen dis
ciples of revolution a fine asortment
of upsetters and self-called reform
ers hold a meeting in the name of
the so-called People's Power League,
and decide on some new and startling
innovation in government and law.
They are supported in their radical
courses by the tolerance or indiffer
ence of many respectable and well
meaning citizens whose names are
printed on all their official literature
as officers or members of the league,
but who know little or nothing about
its operations and who trust too much
to the right intent of the active spir
its in the organization.
Just now the People's Power Lea
gue is the voice of U'Ren, and the
hand of Fels; and always its guide,
philosopher and friends has been the
busy and versatile U'Ren.
The free use of the names of its
non-participating members has been
the common practice of the league
from its inception. Doubtless it was
the duty of such persons to protest
Some did, and dropped out. Others
stayed, but left U'Ren and the inner
circle to usurp the functions and mo
nopolize the activities of the league.
They carried their habit of imposture
so far that they had the audicity to
attach the signature of Mr. Ben. Sel
ling as president to the U'Ren consti
tutional amendment proposing a new
form of state government and to the
official documents advocating its ad
option. Now Mr. Selling repudiates their
action and exposes the fraud. U'Ren
Cridge, Eggleston and the other min
isters and sponsors of Felsdom, paid
and unpaid, put forward the ingenious
plea that Mr. Selling approved the
measure and therefore they had a
right to attach his signature. This is
an excuse for a sneaking species of
quasi-forgery that we hardly supposed
even a hired single-taxer would have
the nerve to offer.
Mr. Selling makes it clear that he is
i not for the bill, and he resents the
j unwarranted appropriation of his
! name and influence. Naturally. It is
high time for the public to understand
the star-chamber methods of the hum
bug People's Power League.
