Republicanism and Oregon
The Republican county Assem
bly held Saturday demonstrated
that representative members of
the party were ripe for its re-organization
and that although
practically acting as a unit it was
far from countenancing a return
to machine politics. Many of the
candidates nominated were un
known to the delegates before
they assembled in the meeting
place and there was an entire ab
sence of "slate," bossism or
strife of any kind. The candi
dates recommended are able, rep
resentative and Republicans. A
glance over the ticket shows that
it is a strong one and one that
should appeal to every voter for
support.
The platform endorsed sets
forth the best principles of the
Republican party and specifies
that the assembly is not opposed
to the primary law but organized
to aid in the selection of candi
dates and in support of personal
liberty as guaranteed by the con
stitution of the United States.
In supporting the Republican
candidates and the assembly the
people will be following out the
principles that have given the
country its greatest era of pros
perity and made it the greatest
nation on earth, notwithstanding
the cry of the minority who
would tear apart its fabric and
give nothing in return.
The Republicans of the county
and state should loyally stand by
their colors and make it possible
to place Oregon in the column of
progress and influence rather
than in that of uncertainty and
ridicule.
An Example to Mankind
As an example of indomitable
will power, courage and energy
we know of no greater illustra
tion than the accomplishment of
Oscar Fredenberg, the one-armed
mail carrier, who has just com
pleted a sixteen year term of
faithful service. In all these
years this hardy spirit has missed
but five trips and four half trips
in his duties of carrying the mail
for the residents of Mt. Hood,
and then only because weather
conditions made it impossible.
His achievement is one that a
man in the full power of his phy
sical vigor could be proud of.
This Mr. Fredenberg lacks, but
complaints from him were un
known. Cheerful, confident and
always at his post he traversed
the dreary miles of his mail route
in winter and summer, in sun
shine and rain and only ended
his term of service when no
longer needed.
Mr. Fredenberg has performed
a service for his fellow men and
women that is deserving of great
credit. Also an example to his
fellow creatures of sound body
that should cause them to become
dumb when tempted to complain
of life's hardships.
Forest Fires
Carelessness is the cause of
nin e-tenths of the forest fires and
those having occasion to be in
the timber this time of year will
do well to guard against an act
that may cost timber owners
many thousands of dollars,
The Western Forestry and
Conservation Association, which
embraces the states of Oregon,
California, Washington, Mon
tana and Idaho, is carrying on a
campaign to save the forests
from the usual fire losses that oc
cur each summer. This organi
zation represents thirteen minor
associations. Printed matter, fire
warnings and circulars are being
sent out to timber owners, mill
men, farmers and others directly
concerned. In its literature the

retientatlve Haw ley any credit for
that ai-hleveiueut. Theti the house
refused to recede from the congress
ional plan to repeal section U of the
new reclamation act thus taking
from Oregon the benefit of all the
millions contributed by this state to
the reclamation fund and the Ore
gou senatorial delegation disclaims
all responsibility for the action either
of the house or the senate. In the
one case It was the great activity
and diligence of Hawley that got the
$.'!0,0oo locks appropriation through
congress, and the senators say they
did It all. In the other case, It was
largely the activity and Influence of
Senator Borah that got the recla
mation act in Its present objection
able form through cougress. The
Oregon senators say they wouldn't
do anything, and Ellis who is not a
meiiilier of the senate is to blame.
Seuator l'.orah got what he and
Idaho wanted by mighty persistence
largely at the expense of Oregon. He
did it mainly by threat of ludefiulte
filibuster. The Oregou senators
stood dumb aud helpless at the spec
tacle. Where was the eloquent voice
of the pulssaut Bourne aud the skill
ful finesse of the smooth Chamber
lain? Nowhere certainly not pres
ent then and there. A determined
stand a little filibuster, say might
and undoubtedly would have brought
results for Oregon; but It was not
undertaken.
It Is unfortunate for Oregou that
great questions are not discussed
and settled on the golf links where
the state has more than adequate
representation.
The Passing; of "Busting"
The state of Wyoming that west
ern commonwealth vehemently pro
testing against the epithet of "wild
and woolly" attached to it by the
average eastener, the while proudly
boasting of the state's advanced civ
ilization has at last discovered the
beam lu Its own eye and hag taken
steps toward Its early removal. It
has decreed that the practice of
"bustlug" steers for amusement pur
poses must be stopped.
The practice of "busting" was con
fined to the earlier history of cattle
raising In the range states before
more humane methods were discov
ered and consists In a lasso being
thrown over the animal's head, the
horseman then deftly circling the
steer and tripping it up with the
rope. The plunging animal usually
lands squarely on Its back not In
frequently, however, sustaining a
broken leg, or horn, and occasionally
a broken neck, as a result of the vio
lent fall. It Is n brutal practice' long
ago discarded by practical cattlemen
aud prohibited by legislative enact
ment In every other western range
state save Wyoming. From this
time forward those who desire to
witness an exhibition of this revolt
lug form of amusement will have to
Journey across the line Into Mexico.

Have Shown Civilized World
John Mlnto, who proves himself
something of an authority on such
matters, says: "Hood Klver apple
growers have shown that the civil
ized world Is wlthlu commercial
reach of the I'aclfic orchardlsts, and
It Iium long leen demonstrated that
wherever the fir, spruce, pine and
hemlock trees grow apple orchards
will grow. Irrigation will produce
the largest fruits of any given kind.,
but such fruits will be Inferior In fla
vor and keeping qualities. It fol
lows that Oregon has millions of the
best apple lands yet untouched. The
writer has recently Ix-en on the sea
ward side of the coast range and
also on the west side of the Cascades.
He has concluded that of the two
regions the Cascades will be better
for fruit growing, and the coast
rang'; for dairying."

Indian Drives Car
When a full-blood Indian coiues
driving through town with an auto
mobile It makes a lot of us poor
whites feel like jumping over the
bluff In envy. Accompanied by his
three quarter blood wife, and a com
plete camping outfit he was on his
way to Trout Lake for an outing.
Swackhanner Fakir
One Swackhanner, a pack ou his
back, a bible In bis hand, and all the
assurauce of a smart nigger, cllmU-d
the stairway to White Salmon on
Saturday. He purported to be a lec
turer, but was a fakir, who did time
on the city rock pile In Spokane,
where he Insisted ou leading tne
young people's societies. He had
the nerve to try to get the M. F.
church, but It was, of course, refused
him.
Two Firemen Laid Out
Overcome by the heat of Sunday
a fireman on a North Bank passen
ger train dropped In his cab at Cliffs
and was put off at Bingen for medi
cal attendance. On a following train
he was taken to Vancouver and is
recovering. Near Ash another tire
man ka-t his life. In some mysteri
ous way he wa swept off or fell
from the englue, the euglneer not
discovering that the fireman was
missing until he had gone seven
miles. Backing up the train he was
found near the bridge dead.
Start White Salmon Electric Road
With eight men Mr. Sawyer of the
Northwestern Engineers of Portland
arrived lu White Salmon Monday
morning, and picking up a few more
men in the town, started two crews
at work, one checking up the White
Salmon end of the Hue; the other
going to Camas Prairie end of the
line. as proposeu, tue line goes
through White Salmon on Lincoln
aveuue, circles the butte to Cook's
addition, then hits the Snowden
road for the upper end of the loop at
Camas. Farther than the survey
the Enterprise cannot speak, but
those who have subscrlled stock say
they have had so many favorable
assurances about the earning power
of the road that work will follow
the survey as soon as possible.
A Weather Tale
The weather man ran the steam
roller over the country on Sunday.
It registered '.. In the shade. Not a
whiff of air ruffled the trees. It raided
the snow line on Mount Hood. It Is
said that the river was blistered, and
at Pasco It was so hot that Sunday
was expanded into Monday, while
at The Dalles the people gasped and
forgot all about the pennant, aud at
Hood Klver the tongues In the cow
bells swelled up and not a sound
was heard. The heat came down
through the skylight In the Enter
prise office and fired the brain of the
"devil", nnd there is no telling what
may have gotten Into this issue.
White Salmon generally gets oue hot
period of two or three days In the
summer, when the wind shifts out of
the west to the east, ami then It Is
all over. On Tuesday the wind got
back to the west, whence come the
cool breeze's.
Farmers Knock Out Saloon
There was a time when the settlers
In the west would unite against
Indians, their common enemy, and
wage defensive warfare. The farmers
have again united against a subtle
foe, but this time booze was tackled
Instead of the Indian, and booze, by
the way, has claimed more victims
than Indians. A few weeks ago fruit
growers on both sides of the White
Salmon united In an effort to dis
lodge the saloon at I'nderwood.
The method of procedure was to
get a list of names of a majority of
the people ou the Skamania side of
the river, to which they added the
petltlou of the signers ou the east
side of the river. This they preseuted
to the commissioners of Skamania
county, who Informed them that un
less the saloon keeper could get a
majority of names the license would
not be renewed. This be caunot do
and the ranchers come off victorious.
Killed 350 Pound Bear
A large brown bear weighing
about !550 pounds, w as killed by Ueo.
E. Carter last week three miles up
the White Salmon river. Carter was
picking blacktterrles when the bear
made its appearance. Going to a
nearby cabin Carter produced a gun
aud went after the bear, coming up
on him as he was preparing to make
uu attack.
There Is more Catarrh In this sec
tlonofthe country than all other
diseases togethtr, aud until the last
few years It was supposed to be lu
curable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced It tt local disease
and prescribed local remedies and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronouueed It Incurable.
Slence has proven catarrh to lie a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
Is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It Is taken Internally In
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoouful.
It acts directly ou the blood and mu
