CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER BACK TO Were the wealth that the farmers of the country have gained THE LAND in the last year distributed among the people of the state, each man, woman, and child would receive $200 enough to start a bigger bank account than the average person has to hfs credit. Were the wealth that is represented in the growth, alone, of Clackamas county in the farm improvements divided among the entire population of that county, the bank account would be further decided increased. From the reports that J. E. Jack, county assessor, has just completed, the county shows a steady growth in the improvements that are to be credited to its farmers that is remarkable. In all lines of the farming industry, the growth .has been noted. The number of tillable acres that are found in the county as against those of last year have increased. The stock reports have fattened. The statements of farming increased. The stock reports have fattened. The statements of farming implements have grown. In every part of the county, this decided increase ha been noted an in crease that speaks well of the properity of the Clackamas county farmer and that shows his wealth is multiplying and his bank account growing. The report shows that there were 101,121 acres of tillable lands during 1913 as against 99,175 the year before, or an increase of 1,946 acres at an increased valuation of $144,880; cattle increased showing a growing senti ment in the dairying business ; swine multiplied showing the realization of the money that is to be made from hogs ; horses and mules were more numerous, indicating the larger size of the stock farms and the increased number of stock on each of them that are used in the routine work of the farm. All through the report, the farms have hown an increase over last year and a growth in the number of livestock and the decrease in the number of non-tillable acres in the county. With the growth of the population in the county, the increase in the tillable and decrease in the non-tillable acreage of the couty and state. m m COURT DECISIONS Some question has been raised aj different parts AND PEOPLE'S WILL of these United States over elections that have been held and have been thrown out by the courts, because they have violated .some peculiar legal technicality that has been presented after the election has been held. Few and far between, nowadays are the decisions of the courts that con demn an expression of the will of the people on merely technical grounds. Generally, the courts are slow to take a step that will mean the certain nulli fication of what the people have shown they want. In those cases wherever the people have decidedly expressed themselves, the courts have taken the stand that, though the election may have been more or less illegal from a technical interpretation of the law, the will of the peo ple is paramount and their wishes are above the expression of the legislature itself. There have been a few exceptions to this stand, however. The notorious . action of the Idaho supreme court was one, for example. The expression cf the people's will in that instance was thrown out because the state supreme court took a stand diametrically opposite to that taken by the supreme court of the United States. After the excitement of the compaign had died down. the court cited three newspaper men for contempt because they expressed their opinions about the conduct of judicial officers who were placed in their positions by the people of'an entire state. , ' The case was merely an example of the extreme views that some of tmr courts have taken in matters of this kind. Generally, though, the courts have decided that the people's will in matters of every kind is the paramount issue, and, if that will is clearly and decidedly expressed, few will endanger it by throwing out the election on merely hair-splitting grounds. Whether the judges of those courts believe that the action taken at th polls is the wisest move that the people-can make in certain emergencies, has nothing whatever to do with the case and the courts have generally ruled in a way that shows they fully realize that point at issue. If the people want to bankrupt themselves as long as they have determined to do so the polls in an election fully announced and published, the courts have held that any trifl ing aw in that election cannot invalidate it or force the governmental unit to call another. Action of this kind indicates the progressive trend of the times that now influences-our highest courts of justice. In many states,' the legislature ha enacted statutes that require of the supreme court a thorough review of the merits of every case that is brought before it and none of them are reversed or even remanded to the lower courts for further action unless, in the judg ment of the state's highest tribunal, the rights and interests of one of , the parties has been materially injured by the decisions of that lower court. This is the rule in many states. It shows a new spirit of progress that has entered the legal profession. It indicates that even profession more bound by precedent and forms than any other in the country has seen the light. Technicalities are a poor thing to base any suit at law upon and they are finding less and less favor in the highest courts and before the most learned jurists of the state and nation. Secretary Bryan assures an American owner of lands in Mexico that "in case of damage to property the state department would use its utmost en deavors to obtain indemnity." The length of the bill accumulating will therefore be extraordinary. HOUSE AND FURNITURE 2-story, ' 8-room plastere.1 house. Can be used by two families.

After a sizzling summer Duluth has Lroken its early snow record by one day, and many places report their earliest frost. There is, nothing hackneyed about American weather, except its changeabieness. The' coming on of snow from the West should leave nothing to be desired by those who, during the recent summer, wereiining for a change. The world is made up of extremes, but not more in matters of weather than of temperament. Fugitives from Mexico say they left in accordance with the president' advice, and are now waiting for further counsel from the White House.

VAILE, New Zealand Barris ter and Writer, Author of a Book Which Urged England to "Wake Up" - IF YOU TELL AN ENGLISHMAN ANYTHING NEW YOU ARE BOUND TO BE ONE OF FOUR THINGS IN HIS OPINION A FOOL, A FADDIST, A REVOLUTIONARY OR A THEORIST. THAT IS ONE REASON WHY ENGLAND LAGS. Ten years ago, when they were at the top of the world in sports and many things, I said to them : "That's all very well, but don't you make a mistake. This lawn tennis you are playing is effeminate patball. It's going to land you in the mud. Your principles are wrong. I could bring a team here from Australasia and, after getting them acclimatized, WHIP YOU TO A STANDSTILL." They laughed and called mv words "colonial swank." Then we TOOK THE DAVIS CUP AND HELD IT FOR FIVE YEARS. I told them seven years ago that cricket was a thing of the past and out of joint with the times; that the game had developed into a three day orgy, something like a Chinese theatrical per formance, with nothing determined at the end. . It was the same with football. Our New Zealand team' came tip to Silay them the Rugby game. They cleaned up England, Ireland and Seot and by a total of 839 to 36 points. When our team arrived the news ' papers said its members could not play the game. When the scores had run np to 204 to 4 the same papers said the team did not play the game. I am not mentioning these things to disparage the Englishman. He-is as good AS ANYBODY ELSE IF HE WOULD ONLY ALLOW HIS BRAINS TO COME TO LIFE AND USE THEM AT HOME.

The Bank of Oregon City OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY "AGAI1SST THE RULES' There had been a wreck on an east ern railroad. Thirteen persons had been killed and many injured. In the city offices of the railroad gathered a crowd of anxious inquirers, seeking in formation about passengers on the wrecked train. One of the inquirers, a woman, wan dered from office to office in a vain search for information and reassur ance. There was difficulty in sending to the city the names of the dead and wounded. ' The woman intercepted a little office boy hurrying through the offices. . "My boy." she said, "can you tell me anything about this wreck?" "All that I can tell you, ma'am." he replied, "is that there were thirteen killed." " "Oh," exclaimed the anxious woman, "can a little boy like you tell me that thirteen have been killed and not cry about it?" "It is against the rules to cry," said the little boy. And he hurried away to perforin his duties. Against the rules to cry! Are there not many other occasions when it is against the rules to cry? When you are beaten, for example, in the tight for fame or wealth or posi tion, when you see the cause on which you have set your heart lying defeated amid the ruins of your hopes, when the thing which you have desired greatly turns out to be other than what you expected Is it not against 'the rules to cry? This is no argument 1 against the blessed relief of tears. There are times when the surcharged heart can find no other outlet, and the gentle rain of the tenrs is a benediction. No one would or should attempt to seal the merciful fountains. But there is the tearless crying, the repining that is useless. That is against the rules. Let us school ourselves, as did the little lad in the railroad offices, not to cry when we are called upon to facp defeat and disaster. There is the crying that is a welcome relief, and there is the crying that is the confession of weakness. It is the latter sort that is against the rules. Australia. The story of Australia Is. from smn points of view, curiously interesting It offers the spectaclef the evolution of. a nation, lying so near to us in time that, the process can be studied with scientific niinnfeness and as under the lens of a microscope And the factors, if not the events, are on a great scale. The stage is an entire continent. For Australia offers the only instance In history where a whole continent has flying above it the flag of a single peo ple." And this is a continent with the climate of Italy, with more than the mineral wealth of Peru and as fit to be the granary, of the world today as Egypt was for the world of the Cae- sam.

Physicians have always studied the pulse, because it gives valuable infor mation concerning the . body's condi tion of health or disease. But it is only, recently that they have begun to use the term "blood pressure" fre quently and to regard the amount of that pressure as of great importance. Thai is because they now have instru ments for accurately measuring the pressure, which previously they could only estimate'by feeling the pulse. Blood pressure or the degree of ten sion of the blood current within the arteries is chiefly significant because a permanent increase , in it is quite sure to be followed in time by harden ing of the arteries and by the degener ation or disease of important organs, especially the kidneys. The blood pressure is increased by a number of causes that increase the force of the heart beat or that con tract the smaller blood vessels. Any excitement anger, joy. fear, "nervous-, ness" raises it temporarily. But that is of 'little importance unless the emo tion is frequently repeated or unless the person already has diseased arte ries. The blood pressure that is per manently high is more serious. That comes from long continued mental ex citement such as worry, business anx iety or political strife or from the ac tion of certain poisons that are formed In the system and not properly ex creted. These poisons come from the waste products of digestion, especially in large meat eaters. They raise the blood pressure by causing the smaller arteries to contract In small amounts these poisons are excreted at once, but in persons who eat large quantities of meat, especially of beef and mutton poultry and fish are less harmful they are sometimes formed in amounts so large that the kidneys cannot dispose of them prompt ly. When this happens, especially if it occurs in a person who is under a con stant mental strain, like the politician, the financier or the chronic worrier, there is grave danger of a permanent ly high blood pressure and, following that, of -hardening of .the arteries and of kidney disease, mental disturbance or apoplexy. If you must worry be a vegetarian: if you must eat meat do so only once a day or. better still, every oier day. Youth's Companion.
