OREGON CITY, THTRSD.IY, JULY 12'. l77.
Our County.
Tbr interests and advantages of Clack
amas county Lave frequently been set
forth in the columns of this paper, but
we regard it as a subject w orthy of re
peated reference. There is iirobably
not a county in the State which is less
known or less appreciated for its many
natural advantages and extent of agri
cultural resources than Clackamas. Its
general reputation as a fruit-raising sec
tion is well understood, yet its value to
the county, like its agricultural advan
tages, is hardly appreciated. Clacka
mas county is undoubtedly the fruit
county of the State. We have several
large orchards in the lower end of the
county and on the west side of the river
which we believe furnish more fruit for
market than there is in any other one
county in the State, and being close to
market, are remunerative and profitable.
This branch of business cannot be over
done, and no county in the State can
offer better inducements to fruit-raisers.
There is always a market for good fruit,
and it can be raised with but little ex
pense or trouble.
Tlje agricultural portion of our coun
ty is not known from the fact that new
comers push along the railroad and
have no opportunity of seeing our farm
ing lands. It is true that for the past
two years a great many new-comers
have settled within onr county, but
lapd has not increased in value, uor has
the increase of population been in ratio
with.other parts of our State. When a
new-comer sees our tall frs and rocky
cliffs along the railroad, he generally
. passes on, with the remark that he wants
"no rocks and timber in his." They
imagine that the county is composed of
nothing but hills and timbered lands.
The fact is quite to the contrary. It is
true we have a large amount of timber,
and our lands are somewhat hilly, yet
Clackamas county can present in differ
ent parts some of the finest farming
lands in the State, consisting of prairie
and cleared brush land. There is no
better laud in the Slate than that on the
Molalla prairie; then we have some ex
cellent prairie land in the northern part
of the connty,while there are thousands
of acres of the very best land in theS'ate,
which can be cleared and put under
cultivation with bnt little trouble and
expense. This kind of land can be pur
chased at from $5 to $8 per acre, owing
to how near it is to market, and what
improvements are on it. Land which
demands this price can be cleared for
from $10 to 15 per acre, and, when
ready for a crop, will more than pay for
itself the first year. Yet we find hun
dreds of people in search of homes go
ing np the valley and purchasing farms
for 30 to 50 per acre, when they can
clear a farm in this county at an aver
age cost of not over $20 per acre. This
land will produce equ il to any prairie
lanp in the upper end of the valley that
is now held at $50 per acre. Wheat is
worth from five to ten cents per bushel
more in any part of this county than it
is in either Linn, Marion, Polk, Yam
hill or Benton, while it is worth eigh
teen cents more than in Lane, and thirty-eight
more than in Douglas. We
will suppose that a man raises thirty
bushels of wheat on his farm, the differ
ence in the price would be near $3 each
year, or interest on 30. Thus it will
lie seen that a farm of equal productive
ness in Clackamas county ought to be
worth at least double what one of a sim
ilar grade is farther south. But this is
not the case. Land is worth less and
sold cheaper is this county to-day than
in any couuty mentioned, unless it be
so far away from market that the farms
are useless for any other purpose than
stock range.
We are aware that the last two or
three years have made Clackamas coun
ty more appreciated and understood
than before, but not to the exteut of its
merits. Even the old farmers have
lieretofore depended principally on their
stock and fruit, but this has changed.
The wheat, oat and barley crops of last
year were nearly double as compared
with the two years previous. This year
we believe it will increase at least one
half over last year, and every year we
find new farms open and sown in wheat
or oats. There are to-day no more thrifty
farming communities than those located
in the Clackamas, Clear creek, Beaver
creek, Sandy and Molalla sections, and
nil over the couUty we find elegant
farms being cleared and improved. We
only cite these particular localities be
cause they are more extensive than any
other part of the county. Ou the west
side of the river we have some excellent
country, aud in fact we think, that no
county in the State to-day presents bet
ter inducements to a person seeking a
home than Clackamas. It has a healthy
atmosphere, and excellent water. It is
known to be one of the most peaceable
counties in the State, and its close prox
imity to Portland and a home market,
certainly gives it a decided advantage
over all other sections of our State.
Persons seeking homes bhould give
Clackamas county a fair and thorough
examination before they go farther and
t much worse. In this county the
farmer need have no fears of either rail-1
road or steamboat taking the profits of
his labor each year.
The IIiilsVro Independent is convinc
ed that then? is a screw loose in the
management of the State school fund.
It says Washington county received
61,000 less in 1870 than in 1S75.

Let Us Improve.
We have urged our authorities from
lime to tim to take fcorxre steps toward
building i Court HoQse. We can ex
pect no material prosperity as a county
as long as we do not show a little
more public spirit on our own part.
People coming from the East generally
want to see the public buildings of a
county, and many judge the value of a
county by its improvement. In this
respect we have nothing to offer, only
that if a man settles in the county he
may expect to help pay for a Court
House at some future time. The jail is
all the county owns, and that is enough
to disgust almost any new-comer with
our town. There is. scarcely a county
in the State of any importance whatever
but what has its own Court House, and
some of fiem have erected magnificent
and haudsome edifices. What is the
reason we cannot make a start in this
manner. If our county officials are not
willing to take 'the responsibility of
making a start by levying a email tax
for a building fund, let the matter be
referred to our voters at our next elec
tion. The present inconvenient quar
ters ought uot to be retained any longer
than is actually necessary, and there is
no building suited for the purpose in
town. If we show any vitality and en
terprise among our people, there is no
doubt but that it will return ten-fold in
a short time. The building of a Court
House would be no waste of money. It
would be expended in our midst as fast
as it is paid out, and very little of it
would ever leave the county. We be
lieve that this public improvement will
benefit the farmers fully as much as it
will the town, as it would be a monu
ment to show that there is wealth enough
in the county to enable us to erect suit
able public structures. A niggardly
policy is not calculated to advance our
interest in a business point.
That 15oy from Tipperary.
Any one would imagine in perusing
the Astorian that the Lord and its edi
tor were in daily consultation about the
affairs of this mundane sphere, and that
each leans largely on the other as to the
disposition of "the things;" his fur
reaching perspicuity added to the othor
party's omniscience it resulting in rap
ping up a lot of wooden shanties in As
toria to be occupied by the emporium
of the Columbia River basin instead of
the pigmy city of Portland, Which has
hitherto enjoyed this distinction. He
is one of the boys who imagines that
when he goes to the West the East tips
up, consequently we call him the boy
f rom Tipperar; r lind.
The successes of the Russians in
European Turkey is making old Mother
Britannia nervous. The venei able dame
always goes into connij t ons whenever
it imagines Russia has any desisrns on
Turkey for fear its occupation of Con
stantinople will e idauger British inter
ests in India; as the straits of Bosporus
are at least one thousand miles away
from the Suez Canal, which England
Mill have whether or no, aad which is
the vital artery to connect India inter
ests with the mother country, it is diffi
cult to see why she is so pertubed.
The real secret of England trepidation
at the thought of Russian occupancy of
Constantinople aris s from the thought
that the control of the straits of Bos
porus gives her the same checkmate
against the aggression of countries bor
dering on the Black Sea, as she now
has of the Medit r mean in the posses
sion of Gibraltar. Old mother Britan
nia has her eyes open for stralegic posi
tions the world over and Constantino
ple is the best unoccupied one by her
in Europe, and the fear that Russia
may get ahead of her i3 the sole cause
of the old lady's nervousness. When
ever the Russians get across the Balkan
Mountains England will visit Constan
tinople with an army of occupation
come to stay.
President Hayes pursues the even
tenor of his way, undisturbed bv the
sacres of those factionists who see noth
ing but treason to party, in his efforts
to carry out his conception of a Consti
tutional Administration. If the disaf
fected will let the old man manoeuvre
this matter without becoming too ob
streperous, they will by and bye begin
to say, -Didn't I tell yon he knew what
he was abont ?" "Didn't I predict that
he would put the party on a firmer
basis than ever before ?" We expect to
hear the pessimists of the present clam
or in our ears that they are the very
ones who suggested this to Hayes, in
less than a year, and claim all the credit
for its successful denouement with the
mild suggestion of an office to repay
them for their brain-work.
Hendricks' friend are now starting
the story that when an Eastern delega
tion to the St. Louis convention stopped
in Indianapolis to see the old man, he
made a bargain with them that if he
took the second place in 1870 and failed
to be elected, he was to get the first
place in 18S0. The bargain sounds very
much like Hendricks, but not much
like reform, and from the height of his
superior morality Tilden may proudlv
say to Hendricks, "I am glad I am not
i I,
wean us you.

A Warning to Jail-Keepers.
The flight of Mrs. Sherman from the
Connecticut State Prison, so cunningly
contrived, so dexterously executed and ;
so luckily thwarted in the end by her j
recapture at Providence recently, is one j
of those events that proves in the first
place that in shrewdness a woman in
duress is almost a match for the Jack
Sheppards of onr time, and in the sec- .
ond place that no scrutiny can Re too
keen for the convicts who aro "up" for
long terms. It is a pretty well observed
fact of prison discipline that, although
the long-term prisoners are those who
have the most to gain by an escape, and
although they can perfect their devices
for flight by patient preparation extend
ing over long period of time, snch
grounds for constant suspicion as these
is not enough to prevent the misplaced
confidence which they caD produce in
their keepers by continuous good be
havior and long familiarity. This es
cape of Mrs. Sherman, too, happening
as it did in one of th best of penal in
stitutions, which is not interfered with
by State politics, will be apt to strength
en the notions of those people who be
lieve that no punishment can be snbsti
tutsd for the hanging of murderers,
because no other punishment banishes
the hope of ultimate freedom which is
only another reason why the watch on
such criminals as Mrs. Sherman should
never be relaxed, and why their escape
should be made as rare an event as hu
man ingenuity can make it.
Tfce Grove r Investigation.
The Sacramento Record-Union takes
the followiug view of the results, so far,
of the investigation in the Grover case:
As is usual in such cases, there is a
sort of atmosphere of suspicion envel
opina the senatorial election, but the
evidence is all of the hearsay kind, and
nobodv knows, or will tell, anything
positive or from his own knowledge.
We have dim visions of members who
were poor and wanted money; of a cer
tain co-operative group of six members
who were said to be ia the market for a
thousand dollars apiece: of a Portland
banker assumed to have carried a carpet
bag full of coin up to the capital with
him; of vague interviews in hotels aud
saloons; of refusals to go into caucus
from apparently interested motives; and
so forth, and so on. But when it conies
to swearing positively that A offered B
so much coin to vote for Grover, the
testimony is not there, ar,d on the
whole, it looks u good deal as though
the uncertain and valueless rumors
which have formed th staple of the
statements thus far would be all that
was procurable. In caes of alleged
venality in politics it is rare that such
evidence can be had as York of Kansas
was abl to offer in a celebrated connec
tion some years ago; and principally
for the reason that when men sell them
selves in politics they generally prefer
the enjoyment of the purchase- money
to the exposure of the fraud. If Gro
ver did buy his way into the Senate
there must, of course, be plenty of evi
dence of the fact, but it does not follow
that the evidence is available. Where
there is much smoke there is usually
some tire, and when politicians conclude
that a senatorship has been bought it is
not infrequently the case that they are
tolerably clobo to"the truth, even
though they may not have the actual
facts at their fingers' ends.
Mr. Moody likes to have good done,
but he doesn't want it done in
any way but his own. He has been
insisting that the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Boston shall
change its name to the Woman's Evan
gelical Temperance Union. When the
ladies ask "Why?" he says, "So as to
get rid of your Unitarian and Universal
is! members." "But tlia will rule out
Mrs. Livermore, our president," say
they. "Well, rule her out. She isn't
a Christian." It must be regarded as
fortunate that there is some one who
can decide authoritatively who is and
who is not a Christian. -.
For plain, practical advice to his race
the remarks of Mr. Fred Douglass in a
late speech to some colored people in
Maryland, cannot be excelled. He said
"Without money there is no leisure;
without leisure, no thought, without
thought, no progress." Therefore Get
money. It makes a brief but mighlv
sermon, because it contains the truth
which constitutes the working platform
of human existence. It applies to the
whites as well a the blacks.

I COURTESY OF BANCROFT
JXDtAN WAR IN IDAHO!
Three Days' Fighting on Camas Prairie.
Lewiston-, July 7, via Wallula, July
9. Billy Baird, with two men, arrived
from Mount Idaho to-day, having left
the latter place Wednesday and arrived
at Cottonwood at about 4 P. M. On
Tuesday Whipple sent out Bill Foster
and Charley Blewett as scouts to learn
the whereabouts of the Indians, in the
direction of Howard's coniniaud at
Craig's crossing of Salmon river. They
had not proceeded far before they came
upon a large baud of horses driven by
one Indian. They soon saw three others
in another direction. They put their
horses to their speed on retreat. Foster
being in advance; he soon looked back
and saw that his comrade had become
unhorsed and separated from him. He
sang out to him to take to the brush
jtnd he would try to catch the horse.
The horse took down the canyon and
he could not overtake him. He then
rode in haste to Whipple's quarters.
Th command was soon ordered to be
in readiness to move. Meantime Lieu
tenant Rains, with Foster and eleven
men, was sent in advance to reconoitro.
Rains and his men rode over the raise
this side of Cottonwood and down into
the side ravine where the road crosses
before the ascent of Craig's mountain;
and were attacked before Whipple
could get to them, after he had heard
the firing. Rains and his whole party
were killed, including Foster, who was
shot in the forehead.
The next day Baird and his two men
were intending to proceed forward to
Lewiston, but a little after 5 p. si. Mor
rill looked up Cottonwood creek aud
saw four or five mounted Iudians; soon
others were seen in other directions,
and soon after it was observed that
their camp was nearly surrounded by
mounted Indians. One fellow came
down across the road and had his horse
shot from tinder him, and was himself
wounded, and broke down the creek
out of sight. After that, the Indians
kept at a more respectable distance, but
kept up tht fire till after 9 p. m., and uo
more was seen or heard that night.
On the morning of the 5th, at about 9
o'clock, two horsemen were sen coming
across the prairie from Rocky canyon.
Six Indians were soon seen riding to
ward theru at full speed from the direc
tion of the Indian camp south of Cot
tonwood. The two. men, who were
couriers from Howard's command. made
a detour to the north aud reached Cot
tonwood at the month of the canyon
under the rifle pits just in time to es
cape from the Indians in pursuit. After
this, the Indians moved their camp,
with ahout 1,000 head of stock, across
the prairie, between Cottonwood aud
Rocky canyon and in the direction of
Clearwater. They had crossed the Mt.
Idaho road. No move was made by
Col. Perry to intercept them during
this time. Soon afterward a small squad
of men were seen coming from the di
rection of Mount Idaho, and were rec
ognized to be volunteers. As soon as
the Iudians saw them they left a small
portion of. their number to hurry off
the stock, aud about :50 returned to
intercept them and prevent their reach
ing Whipple's command. The Indians
first reached the elevation of ground on
the rad, ahout a mile beyond Cotton
wood, near the interception of Elk City
trail with the stutre load. At this crisis,
being seen from Perry's position on the
hill at the rih pits, ho was urged to go
with-troops to their rescue, to which he
replied to the effect that it was of no
use; they were gone and he would not
tirder the rescue. Mr. Morrill says the
volunteers say their captain, seeing his
position, ordered them to charge and
break the line of the Indians and dash
over toward the creek bottom, dismount
and return the tire and hold the position
partly under cover of the small hill, till
the force at Cottonwood could come to
their" rescue. The command was no
sooner given than Capt. R.inriall and
his sixteen men made the charge and
broke through the Indian line and
reached their position, dismounted aud
returned the fire in the charge. Randall
was mortally wounded, Ben Evans kill
ed, and throe others wounded.
In about a half an hour after it was
known that the Indians had tne volun
teers in a tight place, Perry gave the
order for fifty men to go to their relief,
and it was quickly obeyed, and they
were relieved in about one hour after
the charge. Contrary to the expectiou
of all, after the relief had come, no pur
suit of the Indians was ordered, bnt a
retreat to the camp, and no pursuit had
been made since, up to the time of Mor
rill's leaving on the night of the Oih.
On the Gth a detatchment of seventy-,
five men, under McConville, was seut as
an escort to the wagon carrying the
killed and wounded to Mount Idaho.
Morrill says that Randall, after he was
mortally wounded and had got into his
positiou, sat up on the ground an;1, fired
many shots at the Indians, the last one
not 'more than live minutes before he
fell back dead. Morrill says that not
one of these seventeen are reported to
have faltered in the least or showed the
white feather, though hard pressed liy
100 Indians, nor did one of them seek
to run for Cottonwood after they haJ
broken the Indian line, but they strictly
obeyed the order to hold their ground.

CANCEIi CAN BE CURED.
Cancer has from time immemorial been a
great scourge to the human race, and is now
becoming t he greater. For many years it has
been held by tiie medical profession, and gen
era' ty beli.-vod by the people, that Cancer is
incurable; that once iis roots take hold upon
a victim, there is no chance for a sufferer to
escape a ling; ring and terribledeath ; a death
surrounded by all that is distrusting and hor
rible, not only to the sufferer, but to hirf
friends. Happily this fell destroyer need no
longer he leared. Dr. H. T. Rend, of Phi.a
delphia.a well known physician, of large ex
perienet?, has for four years devoted himself
tothf special study and treatment of Cancer,
and the result of his experience is his dis
covery f r tli radical cure of Cancer, without
the us.- of either knife, caustic or plasters,
and without pain
The majority of persons aregreatlv deceived
in regard to the first SMnitoms and a clear
ance of t his most dreaded disease, considering
it -painful Irom the commencement. This is.
a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un
timely gravi'. In most cases there is little or
no pain until the disease is far advanced.
The only symj toms for many months, and
even tor years, are occasii nally a stinginc,
darting, stabbing, shootine, smarting, itch
ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some casis not any or those. If a
malady is growing worse instead of
better, it is conclusive evidence it is of
malignant character, and demands imme
diate attention. If you have a branny scaly,
warty appearance, with an occasional break
ing oot of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended with
any of the above symptoms, 01 a sensation of
a fly being on it, or a hair tickling it, is cer
tain evidence It is Cancer, and there should
be no de-ay in using Dr. Rond's treatment.
Rife is too valuable to be tampered with.
Dr. Pond's treatment consists of an "Anti
dote" that is applied locally : this nt once ar
rests the growth of the Cancer, and by chemi
cal action neutralizes its malignity, render
ing it harmless and changing it to a simple
sore, which nature, assisted by constitutional
remedies, soon heals (when "the skin is un
broken, and the Cancer is a hard tumor, the
Antidote does not make an ojien sore, but re
mov"s it. by absorption) In connection with
the Antidote j used lhe t-ioeifie, taken in
ternally. This tones up the general health,
strengthens the patient, purifies the blood.,
and eliminates the poison from the system .
Dr. Rond's Antidote contains neither caustic
nor poison, and can be applied to the most
delicate tissues of the body without Injury
and therefore is the only remedy that can be
used in internal ancer, snch as cancer of the
stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond'
remedies, with full directions for successfu
treatment will be sent to any part of th
world.
