Oregon City, Dec. t. Since the removal
of the Oregon City postofflce to Its new
quarters and the substitution of combi
nation boxes for the old lock boxes. Post
master Tom P. Randall Is meeting with
all kinds of trouble. It has been the

to require a depoalt of 60 cents from

McDonald,
each owner of a lock box, the deposit
being for keys and the agreement being
that when the keys were turned in to the
postofflce the holder should get back his
60 cents. Since the establishment of the
combination boxes a great many of the
patrons of the office have been turning
over their keys and demanding the re
turn of. their deposit. Randall has only
been In office a short time and has no
funds with which to meet the demands
and Is In a quandary as to what to do
about the matter. He has charged no
one a depoalt on the few keys that have
been given out alnce his installation and
does not feel like going Jnto his own
pocket to pay out money that he does
not consider himself in any way respon
slble for.
Another Bnxal Kail Boat.
Another rural mail route has been es
tablished in Clackamas county. The
new route leaves Aurora and traverses
the Wilsonville country. This Is the
third, route beginning at, the city of Au
rora and is knownas Route No. 3. Some
of the rural mail carriers in Clackamas
county do not like their job any too well.
For example the carrier over route No.
2, which leaves this city and traverses
the Logan, Stone, Viola and Redland
countries, requires nearly 10 hours of
continuous work for the carriers to de
liver all the mall.
" Very Tains Politics.
The election of municipal officers in
this city next Monday promises to be a
very tame affair. There la but one can
didate for mayor In the field and
scarcely a contest for the office of coun
cllman In the city. In the second ward
there Is a mild contest on between A.
Knapp and H. Mlley. In the first ward
the only contest Is between Walter Lit
tle and H. a. Straight
Oregon City Votes.
George K. Rogera, state organiser for
the W. O. W., will be In Oregon City
Wednesday next, at which time the local
lodge will give a smoker.
The Gladstone Improvement club met
last evening and effected a permanent or
ganization. The club In organized for
the purpose of pushing the interests of
the village.
Resolved, That the foresta and all
vegetation upon the publlo lands of th
rutted. States, Including ths forest re
serves, shall be placed under th direc
tion and control of the secretary of agrl
culture, and that the secretary of ths
department of the Interior shall hav
control only of such mstters a relate
to the title of uh lands.
Packers' Combination.
Resolved, That th concentration of
packing facllitlaa on modern lines Into
the hand of a few great capitalists an,d
into a few market centers has resulted
In almost eliminating competition, and
luta widened the margin between th
price of cattle on the hoof and th
dresKcd meat to. the consumer to a
point that la manifestly unfair to the
producer, and the only remedy la for
the ctorkman to coralline and provide
competition by building independent
packing plants and encouraging new
markets.
Transportation.
Reaolved, That legislation shall be en
acted by the natlonarcongresa compell
ing the movemrut of Stock trains Al a
minimum speed of 20 miles per hour
from loading point to' destination, ex
clusive of stops for feed and water, and
that such tralna shall have the right of
way over trains loaded with dead
freight.
Resolved, That the National Livestock
association hereby respectfully memor
allxcs the Klfty-elghth congress to err-'
act legislation conferring upon the I
Interstate commerce commission au
thority to determine upon full hearing
under the provlalona of th "act to
regulat commerce," what change shall
be made in rate or practice found to be
discriminative or unreasonable. Such
determination to be immediately opera
tive, and so to continue until overruled
by the court.
Arid Lands,
Reaolved, That in tha opinion of the
member of th National Livestock as
sociation, congreaa ahould Immediately
appoint a commission of five, consist
ing of on cattle-grower, one sheep-
grower, one expert Irrlgationlst and two
government official, for the purpose of
Investigating .the arid and semi-arid
graslng landa weat of the one hundredth
meridian, to make a apeedy report to
congress with a view of amicably set
tling the conditions now existing over
this matter In the territory named.
Resolved, That the national congress
ahould so amend the laws affecting the
publlo lands aa to repeal th stone,
desert land and lieu land acts, and the
commutation clause of the homestead
act, and that the latter should be so
smended as to allow a citizen to take
up at least one section of arid or non
irrigated land as a homestead.
To Produce Meat Without Corn. 1
Resolved, That between th Irrigated
farms and the non-irrigated graslng
lands of the West there is produced all
the material for making the choicest of
commercial food meat. All .that Is lack
lng is an accurate knowledge as to the
proper methods and proportions in
which to combine these existing ele
ments, and the national government is
urged to assist in conducting the neces
sary experiments to Show the wester
stockmen how to make meat of the pro
ducts of tho western ranch and range.
It is not to be understood that the
above resolutions will be adopted as
they stand, their appearance here being
only an Indication of the subjects to be
discussed. In addition to this, congress
should be asked to Immediately pass the
Grosvenor anti-shoddy bill and enact
law -providing for a classified census of
livestock. Any member of the associa
tlon Interested in any subject of a gen
cral nature is respectfully requested to
place It in the form of a resolution and
send it to the secretary at once, so It
may be brought before tho first meet
ing of the executive committee, and
thus receive early consideration by the
convention.
Organisation.
For mutual protection it has become
the policy of all Industries to organise.
It must be conceded that In a national
organization the live stock industry of
the nation can accomplish more than
by individual efforts. The history of
this organization will demonstrate this
fact. The work Is in your hands, and
upon your determination and success
ful efforts, to a great extent, depends
the future of the live stock Industry.
Unless the association receives this sup
port. It will be impossible for It to at
tain the measure of success desired. The
coat of maintaining a national organi
sation Is Insignificant, the assessments
btlng but one-twentieth of one cent per'
head. If you or your local association
are not members of the national asso
ciation you are earnestly requested to
make application Immediately in order
