YOUR DUTY Every citizen of Clack
SATURDAY amas county has a pub
lic duty to perform next Saturday) and
should plan to perform that duty.
Nothing should be permitted to stand
in the way. ' No other engagement
should be allowed to interfere. The
duty of every man and woman who is
legally qualified on Saturday is to
VOTE.
Saturday is the day when the peoui'e
will decide whether faithful county of
ficials are to be recalled because of
the pique and jealousy of a few dis
gruntled folk who seek to run this
county for selfish purposes, and who
want to garner to themselves "plums"
which shall be paid for by the public
money. Saturday is the time when
the trumped-up charges of the valiant
trio will be put to test, and so that
there shall be no doubt about the pub
lic verdict, every legally qualified
voter should go to the polls and
VOTE.
Some citizens entitled to the ballot
nlay not have registered. The law
provides for such contingencies, and
if. there are any who have failed to
observe the preliminary formalities,
they, should take six-freeholders to the
polls with them -and swear their ballot
in. But most important of all, every
body should VOTE. "
The main hope ofThbse ' whoare
trying to besmirch the records of
County Judge R. B. Beatie and Coun
ty Commissioner N. Blair is that their
supporters will be over-confident, and
will not think it necessary to go to the
polls to support these men. The com
ing election is not a time for any dis
play of confidence save in one form,
and that is by VOTE.
Charges have been preferred, but
not supported, which concern every
citizen of the country. These charges
are not generally believed. People
who do not believe them should not
stop at mere denia however; they
should rebuke Olds and Brown and
Hagemann and Castro and Schuebel
and the others of their camp by ex
pressing their opinion at the polls.
They should VOTE.
The most important thing to do
next Saturday is to VOTE.
This means you!

DILLMAN & HOWLAND
new-fangled contrivance hooked on be
hind an engine that snorted and threw
out volumes of sparks, and made the
first railroad trip in these United
States, traveling from Albany to
Schenectady a distance just about as
far as from Oregon City to the heat
of Portland. The trip took about two
hours, and was regarded as a most
wonderful achievement. Those who
survived the journey with no more
serious injuries than accumulating
cinder burns underneath their collars,
where hot sparks from the puffing en
gine lodged and who lost no other
raiment than a burned up parasoT or
a badly scorched beaver hat, were the
envy of all, for theirs had been an ex
perience both unique and marvelous.
Today, somewhat over four score
years, since, are express trains which
run from Albany to Schenectady in
17 minutes, and don't even hesitate at
the latter place. Sometimes they do
it in less, for where the first train
puffed and jerked its uneven way is
now one of the most superb road
beds in the nation, and the things that
they do in speed over the tracks there
even surpass the stunts of the North
Coast Limited, when it is about two
hours late at Stampede tunnel, and
"falls down" the grade so as to ar
rive in Tacoma and Seattle on time.
J Across New York state of which the
Albany-Schnectady bit is merely a
step, they whisk trains at speeds of
ten exceeding 70 miles per hour, and
when one stops to consider that such
a rate is just about ten times as fast
as was done 83 years ago, that is
"going some."
Eighty-three years of railroading in
the United States has brought on re
finement and advancements well
worth considering. Steam locomotives
in this land of the free, when letting
themselves out, have hit it up at a
rate of 112 miles an hour for over 80
miles at a strentch. Electric locomo
tives, testing their ability to catch up
with the speed of the earth which re
volves at a little better than 1,041
miles an hour, have attained 170
miles an hour and then flown to
pieces. But 112 miles an hour is fast
enough; and the fact that this can
be made in comfort is a sufficient
proof of the perfection of railroading
in this country. It is something to
boast about, considering that it has
been attained in 83 years.
People who journey from Oregon
uity to Portiana and who make the!
ixip in soineuung less wan an nour,
have enough to congratulate thenv
' selves upon, however. They are mak
ing a journey very similar to that pi
oneer trip made this day years ago,
but are making it as a matter of
course and with much less peril. In
fact it is such a commonplace affair
that one traveling thusly can hardly
appreciate the feelings of those who
made a trip of equal length when the
iron horse was new and "unbroken,"
and when electric traction was un
dreamed. Yet the difference between
the Oregon City-Portland trip of to
day, the Albany-Schenectady trip of
83 years ago does not begin to cover
the span of railroad progress.
Since the first trip behind what
small boys delight to call the "choo
choo" have come comfortable cars,
Pullman sleepers and rolling palaces,
block system signals that insure per
fect safety, steel . coaches that make
collisions mere inconvenient jarrings,
undreamed of ease of riding and

speeds, and the rapid transmission of
mails and express matter. People
are now able to scoot from one side
of the continent to the other in four
days if they are in a tremendous hurry
and in five if they are merely travel
ing at liesure. The iron horse has
conquered mountainsj leaps across
rivers and canyons on bridges that
seem to tie mere cobwebs, and when
necessary bores through the hills like
a mole. Travel goes on by day and
night with equal ease and speed, and
there is scarcely " a hamlet in the
whole, land that cannot be reached, or
almost reached, by the steel trail.
Surely this is a remarkable develop
ment for 83 years, surely it is typical
of American progress and mastery.
"THIS IS MY 61ST BIRTHDAY"
Earl of Kintore
Sir Algernon H. T. Keith-Falconer,
tenth Earl of Kintore, was born in
Edinburgh, August 12, 1852, and suc
ceeded to the earldom' on the death
of his father in 1880. He was educat
ed at Cambridge University and for
many years has been prominent in
public life in Great Britain. A strong
supporter of Mir. Chamberlain and Mr.
Balfour, he became a candidate for a
seat in the house of commons in 1880,
and after succeeding to the earldom
he was for a time the first government
"whip"' in the house of lords. In 1889
he became captain of the Yeoman of
the Guard, which position he resigned
three years later to accept appoint
ment as governor and commander-in-chief
of South Australia. The Earl
of Kintore's family played a promin
ent part in the early history of Scot
land. The first earl was appointed
hereditary knight marshal of Scot
land for preserving the regalia of
Scotland from the hands of Crom
well. Congratulations to:

throne of Russia, 9 years old today.

reformer and one of the founders of

Ditcher of the New York National

day. WARFARE.
Regular troops alone are equal
to the exigencies of modern war
as well for defense as offense,
aud when a substitute is at
tempted it must prove illusory .
and ruinous No militia will
ever acquire the habits neces
sary to resist a regular force.
The firmness requisite for the
real business of fighting is only
to be attuned by constant course
of discipline and service I have
never yet been a witness to a
single instance that can justify
a different opinion, and it is
most earnestly to be wished that
the liberties of America may
no longer be trusted in a ma
teriiV degree to so precarious a
defense. George Washington.
The frontiers of states are ei

these obstacles to the march of

Answered the Question.
W. J. Fox. a free trade colleague of
John Bright, was a clever debater and
unexcelled in repartee. His chief heck
ler in Oldham was a local baker, who
once had the misfortune to be fined
by the magistrates for selling short
weight bread. Fox also had the mis
fortune to separate from his wife. On
one occasion, after he had delivered an
address to his constituents, the baker
got up and said:
"Mr. Fox. there Is just one question
I should like to ask you. What has
become of your wife?"
"Sir." replied Fox. "she has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting." - .

ERE you see illustrated the new and the old in aquatic sports. Canoe
tilting is one of the recent games which has gained favor as a sum
mer pastime. It's full of excitement for those who participate and
for those who watch. There's a thrill in almost" every move. The
contestants try to dump each other into the water Now. every one knows that
a canoe is the easiest thing in the world to tip over, but in this game a no
ticeable feature is the fact that it's hard to overturn the canoe unless the tilt
ing is'done in the right way. The contestants wear bathing suits, and so a
ducking does them no harm. If they are overturned they scramble back, and
the contest is on again. Tub racing is one of the oldest but funniest of water
games. One of the side splitting spills is here illustrated
