^THE County Court got more
than was its due last week,
for its part in the Lents Play
Ground movement This move­
ment originated at Lents, and is
mostly due to the Women mem­
bers of The Parents-Teachers
Club. Due appreciation is given,
however, to the assistance ren­
dered by the County Court es­
pecially for the work in clearing
away the stumps and preparing
the ball ground.
TJAVE we a constable? Why
not have a real live con­
stable located at the junction of
Foster and Main streets, to take
in a few of the speed fiends who
turn the corners at a 60 mile rate.
The law is plain and the author­
ity is abundant The local police
court needs the money.
A POLITICAL SYMPOSIUM
Conducted Without Favor, Solicita
tion or Renumeration
Speaking of the LaFollette
trip through Oregon, several
papers have expressed them­
selves as being of the view that
the itinery was being filled for
the benefit of the Bourne cam-
paign for U. S. Senator, That
is also probably the reason why
LaFollette is speaking in Ne-
braska, Idaho, and California.
Bourne is representing all those
states? There are a lot of news,
paper men having visions just
now.
Lents and other east Multno­
mah people will be disappointed
to learn that the LaFollette man­
agement has been unable to ar­
range dates so that the Senator
may visit these parts of the
County. LaFollette will speak
at the Gipsy Smith Tabernacle
next Tuesday evening. The pub­
lic in general is invited.

Of the several candidates for
County Coroner, one offers the
use of a well planned morgue to
care for the County needs. If
Mr. Skewes is elected there will
be no need of the Coroner’s
“trading” his business with
local undertakers, neither will
the county incur the expense of
a morgue. That all goes with
the undertaking rooms offered
by the gentleman named.
To the Editor:
Our request that you publish
the enclosed statement is not be­
cause we desire to boost any in­
dividual’s candidacy for office.
The office of Dairy and Food
Commissioner in Oregon is cry­
ing out for a man that will fill it
in the interest of the whole peo­
ple-producers, distributors and
consumers. We have canvassed
the entire field of candidates for
this office and we believe J. D.
Mickle is the most desirable.
We believe he will make the
office mean what it should in de­
veloping the dairy industry along
progressive lines, in encouraging
the manufacture of made in Ore­
gon food products, in preventing
violations of the Food and Milk
Laws, in protecting the lives and
health of the public. Your pub­
lication of the enclosed state­
ment will help a great cause and
we earnestly ask your co-opera­
tion.

UNEMPLOYED GROW FEWER
San Francisco Situation Passas Crisis
And Is Improving.
San Francisco.—The condition of
the unemployed In San Francisco has
passed its crisis and Is now Improv­
ing. according to an exhaustive report
submitted to Governor Johnson by
State Labor Commissioner .Mclaiugb-
Un.
The principal causes for distress
among the wage earners, it was found
by Commissioner Melaiughlin. were
the winter slackness in building oper­
ations. which affected the residents uf
the city, and the tardy opening of the
lumber and fishing seasons on the
coast, which kept in this city migra­
tory laborers who ordinarily find ein
ployment at outside points much ear
Iler In the season.
Wheat Hite Dollar Mark
Seattle.—For the first time in two
years, the price of wheat in Seattle
reached the dollar mark. Seattle mil­
lers were paying >1 a bushel for No.
1 bluestem, and as high as 97 cents
was asked for No. 1 club wheat
Red Flag Use is Target
San Diego. Cal.—At a meeting of
Heinzelman Post No. 33. G. A. R.. res­
olutions were adopted by a rising vote
asking congress to make it a felony
to carry a red flag in a procession, and
to establish upon one of the United
States island possessions a penal col-
ony aud deport anarchists to it.
Louisiana Goes For Taft.
Alexandria. La.—Six delegates from
the state at large instructed to vote
as a unit for President Taft aa long I
as his name is before the Chicago con
vention were elected at the lx>uliiana‘|
republican convention called by the >
Hebert-Loiselle faction here.
8prlngfleld May Loae Saloons.
Eugen».—Forty citizens of Eugens
and Springfield met In thia city to
organize to swure a reversal of the
supreme court decision In the Spring­
field liquor case and a permanent com-
niittee of 11 was appointed to take
charge of the work. Springfield held
an election under the Home Rule law
last fall •nd voted to reestablish the
saloons. The case was taken to the
supreme court aud the election hold
valid.
MUST OBSERVE LAWS
Forestry Board Will Demand Rigid
Enforcement to Prevent Fires.
Salem.—Rigid observance of provls- I
Ions of the Btate forestry laws will be |
demanded this year, according to a
conclusion reached by the state board
of forestry In session here.
While the whole detailed plan will
oot be completed by the forester for
several days, enough win discussed In
a general way to show that the board
Intends to clamp down tight a policy
of fire prevention which will be found­
ed on a rigid prosecution of all offend­
ers.
Last year there were but 58 war­
dens In the field. This year there will
be 100 or more. This increase will be
largely aided by tbe federal appropri­
ation act.
Burning of slashings without permit
and other Infringements of the Ore­
gon law will meet with prompt prose­
cution and actual demonstration on
the part of the forester and the board
that no half way measures will be tol­
erated.
The next session will be asked for
a biennial appropriation of 1100.000
or >50,000 annually for the two years.
Apple Blossoms Late.
Hood River.—Because of the contin­
ued low temperature of the nights,
the blossoming period of the Hood
River apple orchards will probably be
delayed a week. It is thought that the
Carnival of Blossoms, as planned by
the citizens and commercial club, will
be held during the first and second
weeks In May.
