GOVERNOR The western part of
WEST ACTS Clackamas county to
day will be under martial law, if a
statement issued from the executive
offices of Governor West just before
midnight last night is to be believed.
Governor West is exercising his pow
er because there has been an appeal
made to him by three ministers, a
representative in the legislature and
some others, who believe that the
great mass of the people of Oregon
City are not to be trusted to spend
Sunday as they may desire, and who
see in the performance of a wild West
spectacle a peril to the morals of the
community, and a violation of a law
passed in the year 1854.
By taking . this action Governor
West has placed a stigma upon Clack
amas county that it will take a long
time to remove. He has, in effect, in
directly expressed the opinion that
Clackamas county could not rule it
self, and that its officials were not
to be trusted .to see that the laws and
statutes of the state were carried out.
The governor takes this action after
publicly admitting that there is a
doubt as to the law in the mattar. He
takes this action after a judge of the
circuit court has found good and suffi
cient reason to issue an injunction re
straining the sheriff of this county
from interfering with the performance
of - the circus.
In view of these facts there is but
one conclusion to be drawn and that
is that the governor of the state of
Oregon has been moved by the same
motives that have, in the past, moved
the Congress of these United States

medicine, and it will not be sweet, either.
Yes; I know money is hard to get. I alluded some time ago to the
difficulty the railroads were experiencing in "obtaining loans at a time
when time money rates were apparently easy. ' Selling short term note
issues is apt to occasion inconvenience when the notes happen to mature
in a disagreeable money market. - -
The'money market is a good deal of a problem, but it will work out
all right. Such complications as we have had of late are troublesome,
but they are INSIGNIFICANT COMPAEED WITH THE OFFSET
TING FACTOE OF GOOD CEOPS AND THE WEALTH THAT
WILL RESULT FROM ANOTHEB BOUNTIFUL HARVEST. Why,
those nervous fellows in Wall street who get worked up because money
rates are going np or because the stock market is going down ought to
realize that the United States will derive TEN BILLION DOLLARS
' NEW WEALTH OUT OF THE GBOUND THIS YEAR or a sum
which exceedB the world's gold production for ten years.

They did this against their own bet

GOOD SIGNS The interest that the
FOR US ALL Hill railroad people
are showing in Clackamas county is
an omen of a bright future. " When
ever the Hill people show a curiosity
about a community, it is -a pretty sure
sign that they are thinking quite seri
ously of entering into its development.
Clackamas county will welcome any
efforts that the Hill people may make
to aid in putting this section upon
their map for the Hill system and
prosperity usually go pretty well hand
in hand.
The latest sign of Hill interest here
abouts is a request made of Secretary
Freytag of the Commercial club, to
send to the Hill headquarters exhibits
of grains and other produce grown in
Clackamas county. This district is
not at present in strictly Hill territory
but it is safe to assume that rival
road. Therefore it is also safe to
assume that following this interest
now shown, there will come a Hill
line into this county. i
There have been rumors for a year
or so past that a part of the Hill sys
tem was to be extended along the east
ern side of the Willamette valley, and
possibly up the Clackamas valey. In
fact there has been a survey run up
the latter valley, which is said to have
connected with the Hill surveys in
Eastern and Central Oregon. It is
not at all impossible that the Hill en
gineers have mapped out a line to
cut transversely across the state, and
as there are good passes across the
Cascades just east of the head of the
Clackamas valley it is quite within the
bounds of possibility that the Hill peo
ple plan to have the westrn end of the
cross-state line cut down through the
fertile heart of this county.
Such a line would tap a virgin and
rich timber region and a fast-developing
agricultural region. Such a line
would find plenty of traffic right from
the start, and would open up to set
tlement one of the finest parts of the
state a section rich in everything
that will attract newcomers and home
seekers, and a section wherein things
will grow with almost tropical luxuri
ance. Hence it is that real boosters
of this county are pleased at the in
terest the Hill people have shown in
this section, and are hoping that the
near future will bring something mors

substantial than mere inquisitiveness. j
Clackamas county can surely show I
to the Hill people some things that
should make them think. They can
show them an abundance of record
crops, a superb climate, and a richness
of undeveloped resources that can
hardly be beaten anywhere - in the
Northwest. There is everything in
this county that is to be found in oth
er sections that the Hill interests have
developed and opened up, and unless
all signs of anology fail, the Hills are
interested in this section solely be
cause they see here ah. opportunity to
add to their own returns by develop
ing a field that will pay big dividents
to any railroad that assist in its ad
vancemenC Every loyal citizen . of
Clackamas county should do all that
lies within his power to assist Mr.
Freytag in sending to the Hills the
best display possible. A "freak", dis
play is not wanted. What will do tie
most good, and what will most quick
ly bring the Hi!l lines into this sec
tion, is an exhibit of average crops
and fruits which will show, ,on its
face the undisputed truth that Clack
amas county, when developed, will be
as diverse in its products as the pow
erful Imerpial valley of California. ,

KEEPING A PROMISE.
Man; years ago there lived in Eng
land a man who was a real nobleman
as well as a member of the aristoc
racy. Throughout England he was
known as a man who would keep his
word, no matter what the cost might
be to himself and others.
They said of him: -
"If he promised you an acorn and
all the oaks of England that year fail
ed to grow an acorn be would send to
Norway for one."
How much was it worth to that man
to have a reputation like that? How
much would it be worth to you, to me?
Suppose him to have made such a
promise and there were" no acorns In
England.
He might have said:
"I promised you an acorn? Very
well. I hatfe tried to keep my word.
j I have had search made on my own
j lands and throughout England. There
is no acorn in England. I cannot keep
my word."
The world might have absolved him
from breaking his word. But his con
science would have held him to it It
would have said to him:
"There are acorns in Norway or In
Russia or beyond the seven seas. You
promised an acorn, and you must pro
duce an acorn, else you lose what is
dearer to you than life your reputa
tion for keeping your word. Send to
Norway. If necessary send to the
ends of the earth !"
We need nowadays more of this
British nobleman's spirit We can do
with far less than we have of the
spirit which seeks the easy way of
keeping a promise and. failing that
breaks word lightly. -
There is too much passing of the
word and'too slight regard of it when
it is passed. - We make promises, and
we break them all too lightly.
Broken promises congest our courts
and bring about the delays and slow
processes of the laws that are a scan
dal of American life.
If you promise any one an acorn or
anything else give it to him. Let him
not say of you: ':
"There goes Jones. You can't rely
npon his word. ,
" Slow Growing Cedars.
It requires more than a century for
a cedar tree to grow large enough to
yield a thirty foot teleohone Dole.

LIVESTOCK PRICES
ARE FORCED DOWN
Receipts for the past week in the
livestock market have been: Cattle
1887, calves 215, hogs 2479, sheep
4862, horses 7.
Heavy receipts of cattle for the
week, and the fact that the best stuff
was not offering has caused the mar
ket to decline from 25c to 50c. Good
Choice stuff is in demand and would
still bring a good price, but taere is
no demand for poor quality, whic'i
just demoralizes the market. The de
horning of cattle is strongly urged, as
in many instances shippers receive
from 25c to 40c less on account of tha
bruised condition of the stuff offered.
$8.25 is the top on steers when gool
ones are in evidence. One extra
choice lot of cows brought $7.i0, but
good cows are selling around $6.75
and $7.00. Fancy heifers would bring
a good prices but there is a wide
range in the class offered, as in the
case with steers. Calves steady aud
bulls a shade lower. -
The hog market has dropped from
ten cents to $9.70 for best light swine,
and will probably go lower, as pack
ers nee:ls ara temporarily suppliod.
The sh-r.ep house was slow and
draggy, probably due to the hot weath
er. Not many receipts. Good ewes
would bring $3.50, top wethers $3.75
to $4.00, and top last of the mountain
lambs $5.50 to $5.75 but a general
apathy exisits in the sheep trade.
