OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, OCT. 25, 1S77.
Twelfth Volume.
The Enterprise enters into another
yeur of new life to-day. Eleven years
ago the paper was started, and conse
quently enters upon its twelfth volume.
While wo have not been connected with
it since its commencement, we know
that it has always labored for the best
interests and the advancement of Clack
amas county. It has been, as a party
paper, in the interest of both political
parties, but its principal mission has
been a good local county paper; one
that we trust has done its share toward
the development of our resources, and
the settlement of our county. We have
strenuously labored for the benefit of
the people.f rom whom we have received
by much the greatest share of our pat
ronage and support,and we feel assured,
that our efforts have resulted in some
degree beneficial to the county.
There is nothing so important as a
local paper to bring into notice and
keep before the public the inducements
presented to new comers and those
seeking homes in this State. To do our
sharo has been the object of the Enter
prise, ond as a local paper we have
claimed the snpport of the people of
our county, irrespective of part, believ
ing that such support is due to a paper
which honestly and faithfully aims to
be of general local benefit. We do not
think a man who has the interests of his
county at heart should inquire what
tho political complexion of the county
paper is. lie owes it his support. It
works for tho interest of Republicans
and Democrats alike. While it may be
directly advocating the supremacy of a
certain party, its local influence is for
the general good. The people of Clack
amas county have taken this view of the
matter, and o-day our support is not
from one or the other party, but from
the people generally. We have endeav
ored to be fair in our advocacy of the
party of our political faith. In doing
so we have not intended to be offensive
to our opponents. We have cared more
for the interests of our county than for
political proferment. This shall be our
course ia the future, and wo trust that
the liberal support which has hereto
fore been extended to 113 will be contin
ued, and that many of our citizens who
are not now supporters of the paper will
add their names to our subscription list.
A paper the age of the Enterprise
has an influence which extends beyond
the borders of our State. It is known
and read abroad by hundreds who are
anxiously seeking homes in our beauti
ful State. We know this from the fact
that from all parts of the Union we are
nearly daily in receipt of applications
to send copies of the paper. These peo
ple want them for information in regard
to our county, and we know that to-day"
there is more than one reader of the
Enterprise in the county who has been
induced to make it his home through
its representations. We also feel assur
ed that the real estate of tho county has
materially advanced by the truthful and
repeated presentations of tho great ad
vantages offered to farmers in this part
of the State. Then, while we are labor
ing to advance the interest and increase
the valuation of the property of those
living in the county, it is no more than
just and proper that they should give
us not a grudging.but a free and liberal
support. The better support, the more
interesting paper can and will we make.
We retnrn to our present supporters
Our thanks for their past liberal patron
age, and trust that many new ones will
come forward and subscribe. Our ad
Tertisera have our thanks for their sup
port, and we trust that the money they
have paid us has been well invested.
There are many doing business in our
town, and even in tho county, who
ought to seek the patronage of the peo
ple of the county through the medium
of the Enterprise. A judicious and
proper investment in advertising is the
key-stone of success. The man who is
not afraid to announce his business to
the public, will nd the public more
ready to place confidence in him and
his wares. Tho insertion that "I am
known" does not hold good. There are
daily new faces on our streets and many
new settlers coming into the county.
One of the first things they do is to
look over the local paper. They will be
instinctively drawn to the firm or store
whose names they may see in the col
umns of that local paper. Tho wisest
and most successful business men in
the country havo become wealthy and
prosperous by a proper use of printers'
ink. It cannot fail to be profitable to
the merchant, mechanic, and all who
do business with the general public
We trust that our advertising columns
will contain the notices of every occu
pation in the city before the close of tho
present year, and that we shall be com
pelled to enlarge our paper in order to
supply the required room.
With the past our pledge for the fu
ture, we launch forth tho first number
of volume twelve, and we trust that
every issue for the coming year will be
a pleasant and acceptable visitor to the
firesides of our many readers and friends.
The Boston Journal says, "The ene
mies of Secretary Schurz complain that
ho is a visionary tbeorist. Well, sup
o pose he is. So long as ho can briDg
tho expense of his Indian council down
to seven thousand dollars, when it cost
fifty thousand dollars under the prac
tical Delano, by all means let the 'vis
ionary theorist' proceed."
"The Dauce of Life."
Old Mrs. Partington on being told
that there was an answer to the "Dance
of Death," exclaimed, "What! an an
cestor to the Dance of Death ? Just
what I predicted." A volumo has been
placed in our hands by the well known
book firm of J. K. Gill &Co., Portland,
written by a lady in San Francisco, en
titled the "Danco of Life," which is in
tended to cauterize the smart inflicted
on the dancing community by the be
fore mentioned book. The authoress
gets hysterical over it from the start
and submerges the subject with an im
mense amount of pedantic rubbish and
flippant paraphrase, seemingly more
for the purpose of advertising her
knowledge of a smattering of foieign
language and a claim to belong to tho
high toned cob hill aristocracy of San
Francisco rathe? than to counter tha
blows given in th "Daace of Death."
Sha shows a proficiency dinging
billingsgate and Tituberatioi which
would eeera to connect her wiib a flsh
mongerj at Newgate, rath?? than with
the crcme a la cremt. For gust, effront
ery and vain-gloriousness Mrs. Bowers
transcends the efforts of the au
thor of tho "Dance of Death,"
and both ought to bo consigned to the
realms of tho forgotten as soon as pos
sible. Waltzing will doubtless con
tinue a reereation for the silly as long
aa heels predominate over brains, in
the moulting period of all people's
lives, and it would be as well to run a
tilt against a wind mill as to combat it.
Mrs. Bowers, Mr. Iiulofson, please to
hug your separate illusions as long as
you please, only don't afflict suffering
humanity with your hysterical affright.
All hands round.
Good Time to Settle.
There aro a groat many names on our
subscription book that are delinquent
for the past 3'ear's subscription. The
harvest is over, and the farmers aro re
ceiving the' money for their past sum
mer's toil. They should give ns our
share for the labor and expense we have
been to in order to furnish them with
their paper regularly. At the beginning
of a new year is fho very time not only
to pay up back indebtedness, but to pay
in advance for the next j'ear. When
the announcement i3 made next fall that
tho paper has closed another year, each
subscriber will know that his time ha3
expired.
We think that every subscriber should
feel it a duty he owes to tho best inter
ests of his county to como forward and
pay the printer. We have waited pa
tiently for our dues, but we cannot
afford to work for nothing and supply
the paper without pay. We trust those
indebted to us will not delay longer in
making settlement of their account, r.nd
hope many will pay their subscription
in advance, as then they will be able to
read the paper for the coming year with
much more pleasure, as they will know
that they do not owe the printer. We
need money like all others to carry or
our business. It is true our account
against each subscriber is small, but
they aggregate many hundreds of dol
lars. This money we have earned by
hard labor, and wo want it. Let our
subscribers call at once and settle, and
commence with the new volume free
from indebtedness.
Mexico.
A correspondent of the New York
World thinks Mexico is preparing for
war with tho United States. Powder
mills are building, and a large contract
for arms with the Remingtons is alleged
to have been made through their Mexi
can agent, Mr. J. M. Laches. Tha idsa
of Mexico going to war with this coun
try would, at first sight, eeem ridicul
ous. Yet 6he did it onca, and may re
peat the experiment. Indsed the eome-
what contemptuous attitude o cur Gov
ernment toward the "sister republic"
would be very apt to stir her beliger
ency if there is any fight in her. Orders
have been given to our Generals to
cross the line in pursuit of marauders,
and in general to attend to both the
American and Mexican sides of the
question of international comity. The
Greasers have a regular army about
twice the size of our own, so that at the
outset the chances are favorable to a
reasonably lively time in case of collis
ion. To what extent years of civil war
has developed a fighting capacity among
the Mexicans, it is difficult to deter
mine. They fight each other well enough ;
they also seem able to endure unending
civil war without absolute exhaustion,
or the accumulation of a very large
debt, at least a recognized debt. Nom
inally the obligations of Mexico are
about 8400,000,000, but she absolutely
repudiates S2S0,000,000 of this sum,
and pays no interest on the balance,
leaving her in easy circumstances. Her
usual revenue is about 818,000,000 and
there is a deficit yearly varying from
81.000,000 to 8,000,000 provided for by
forced loans upon the inhabitants when
foreign loans are not practicable. The
population of the republic is a little
over 9.000,000, and it" would look sui
cidal for that number of mongrels to
attack the United States. Yet here are
9,000,000 Turks making it hot for 100,
000,000 of the Sclavic race inEurope,
so it won't do to be too contemptuous
about our rampant Greaser neighbors.
Returns from all the towns in Con
necticut show a majority of 19,232 for
the constitutional amendment, which
prohibits municipal aid for railroads,
and a majority of 13,331 for the amend
ment which prohibits extra compensa
tion for public officers. The Democrats
carried seventy-four towns, the Repub
licans sixty-nine towns, and twenty-one
towns were divided.
Senator Morton's Views.
An Indianapolis dispatch, dated Oct.
22, says: The following editorial will
appear in the Journal to-morrow morn
ing. It expresses Senator Morton's
views on the duty of the Republican
members of Congress, having been
read to him, and received his hearty
approval and embracing his ideas:
"While there are few Republicans who
can give full and hearty endorsement to
every act and declaration made by the
President, which go to cake np what is
known as his southern and civil ser
vice policy, yet we hare seen nothing
which, taken separately or collectively,
can justify Republicans ia distrusting
either his patriotism or Republicanism.
There oesms to be a feeling on th3 part
of those who disapprova certain acts of
the President, that thay aro better Re
publicans cr moro faithful to tho prin
ciples of tha party than ho. Such as
sumption doa inju3tica to the Presi
dent. Ho ia an original Kepublic&n,
ond h&s beaa tested Zc? Swenty yoara as
a soldier and civilian, and haa never
wavered nor baen found wanting in his
devotion to ha great fundamental doc
trines of tha Republican party. He
was elected as a Republican, and ii is
imposaible for him, with the present
organization of parties, even if he
should so desire, to be other than a Re
publican President, not in an offensive
partisan sense, but in his devotion to
principles and desire for the prosperity
of the Republican party. Until it is
demonstrated that he has not this de
votion and desire, the Republicans in
Congress should not break with him on
mere questions of policy. The Presi
dent has a moot difficult role, and in
steap of receiving tli9 unfriendly criti
cisms and attacks of his party he should
receive their support and be given their
best and trnesfc advice. The present
paramount duty is to country, and if
he was to place simply party success
above the public interest he would ren
der himself hateful to every right
minded man and infamous in history.
We do not suppose a single one cf .tha
Republicans who differ with him on
questions cf policy would ack the
President in plain terrna to assume
such a position, and yet they do this in
effect when they denounce hia policy
because of the damaging effect it may
have upon the party without reference
to its probable effect upon the higher
interests of tha country. The Presi
dent is in the best iossibIe position for
knowing what ought to be done. He
is acting under solemn oath. He is
more largely responsible than any
other living man for the consequences
of his acts, and having decided u2on a
certain course as essential to public
welfare, that course should not be ob
structed by his party friends, uuless it
is in plain conflict with the principles
of Republicanism. He is certainly not
in his position of President the mere
creature of Congress and should not ba
a mero tool of party. The day for dis
cussion has passed as to the right or
wrong of tho southern policy of tho ad
ministration. We might not havegono
to the same extent as to placing the
south upon U3 honor and good be
havior. We might, after what has
transpired in pa3t years, have required
some protection or exacted sorao bond
! to keep tho peace; but President Hayes
j has seen proper to accept the assurance
of the people of the south that they
will maintain the law and respect tho
equal rights of all classes, and if they
keep faith with the administration, his
southern policy will not fail. Tho
same policy might have been inaugu
rated at any time since the close of the
war had the people of those States
come forward with an honest purpose
and proffered the same pledges. As
long as their pledges ore kept and peace
maintained the policy should be sup
ported, ami to that end we would sus
tain the President in tho efforts he is
making for peace and conciliation.
When these States fail to maintain tho
laws and protect the equal rights of all
classes, we shall then expect the Presi
dent's policy to be abandoned by the
administration and the force policy in
augurated." The article refers at length to the
civil service policy and ends fully en
dorsing it.
Temptations of Farmers.
Under this heading, a Clackamas
county farmer, writing to the Salem
Record, Days:
Tha temptations of farmers are many.
I don't mean tha temptations we hear of
every day from our teachers, but temp
tations that are peculiar to farming,
s'jch as plowing in too great haste, tak
ing too wide a furrow slice, thereby
cutting and covering, or in other words
turning more than the plow will cut,
which will decrease the crop in propor
tion to the land not cut by the plow.
Sowing is another temptation which
wo have to contend against. To meas
ure Jup ono and a half bushels of
grain to the acre, then pickle with salt,
or use blue vitrol to destroy the fungus,
or smut, the grains are much larger
than when taken out cf tb.9 bin; wo be
gin to sow without first mecsnring off
an acre of first plowing, and when the
last acre is sowed, we havo two or three
bushels of wheat left. Hence we have
not sowed a3 much grain on a given
piece of land as we intended; a detri
ment to a good crop, unless the land is
very rich in vegetable matter.
Harrowing is another temptation.We
do not harrow cur land enough. When
we sow erain wo ought to prepare the
very best seed bed that could be made
under the circumstances. I have seen
men sow their grain and then run over
it once in a hurry with a harrow, not
covering more than two thirds cf the
grain. They seemed to be confident of
a good crop, but men can't make farm
ing a success that will farm so.
In cutting th9 grain there is not the
care taken that should be. Leaving
grain over tho field at an expense of
plowing, seeding and cutting at 75 cent3
per acre is a great loss. But, says one,
we have plenty. I would say that makes
no difference; you should save every
grain, if it be possible, that your profits
may bo the more. Many men fail just
because they do not save the littles.
Selling one's self too close when wheat
is high ia another temptation. I was
talking with a neighbor the other day
about this temptation; he said, "I sold
my wheat last spring at one dollar and
a half per bushel, and before harvest
came I paid two dollars per sack for
flour." A sad mistake in any one that
will let the temptation carry him away.

Eastern.
New York, Oct. 22. The Tribune's
Washington special says many Repub
lican members charge that the president
takes important action without consult
ing, so far as they can discover, any of
the leaders of the party, and they fear
he takes Democrats into his counsels.
So far has the estrangement gone that
it is said to resemble the early days of
the breech between Andrew Johnson
and congress.
New York, Oct. 22. The Herald's
special from Fort Walsh, Northwest
territory, Oct. 18, says: Tho IT. S. com
mission sent out by the government to
find and treat for peace and good-will
with Sitting Bull has at length suc
ceeded in coming face to face with the
redontable Indian chieftain and have
failed to bring him to any terms, and,
in short, the commission has met Sitting
Bull and he dismissed them abruptly
and disdainfully. Tho expedition has
failed in its purpose, and the Siou
question :3 as far from a satisfactory
solution as when Terry and his brother
commissioners first set out on their
long and todions journey to the ncrth
Test. New York, Oct. 20. The World's
Washington epecial Days: Because of
Morton's illne3s, the committee to ex
amine into Grover's case has not been
able to report. McMillan, cf Minne
sota, lia3 been preparing a rcport,whieh
is thought will be signed by all the
members of the committee and which
will bo ccmpletly exonerate Grover.
The report will not bo submitted until
the December session.
Washington, Oct. 20. The Times
special says: The President in conver
sation with Representative Harmer,
from Philadelphia, to-day said the civil
ssrvice order had been much misinter
preted, and intimated it might be mod
ified. It was not designed to depriva
officer holders of rights enjoyed in
common with other citizens. The sole
purpose was to reach that clas3 of poli
ticians who had held office for political
purposes only, and had brought dis
credit and disseusion into tho party,
and united in efforts to intimidate con
ventions and force them into action in
the interest.! of individuals. Since le
Ohio election the President ha3 ho ,-d
some plain talk from Fester and oth. rs
regardicg the election. This has
tended to produce his back down.
Republican senators are united now as
never before, and will all vote together,
including the so called doubtful ones.
It is probable no effort will be made to
seat Kellogg, as that would tend to un
settle affairs and embarrass the Presi
dent by giving Packard's claims some
color.
Washington, Oct. 21. If Spofford,
Eustis and Butler should be admitted
to the Senate, as it seems probable,
there will be a tie between the two par
ties during the absence of Sharon and
Morton, in which Yice President
Wheeler's vote will count for the Republicans.
New York, Oct. 20. John Morrissey
has received the anti-Tammany nomi
nation for Senator from the seventh
district, home of John Kelly, chief of
the Tammany organization.
Washington, Oct. 23. The com
mittee on privileges and elections met
tlm morning to hear arguments in the
Louisiana senators' case, and agreed to
allow each contestant or representative
one hour to present arguments. Shel
labarger for Kellogg, opened the argu
ment. His principal point was that
tha President's decision as to which was
tha leeral government of Louisiana was
subiect to review and revision by con
ftress. Spofford asked leave to present
his a rgument to-morrow, which was
granted. Committoo adjourned.
There was long discussion of New
York appointments to dav in tho cabi
net. it was settled by a final determ
ination to appoint Theodore Rosevelt
collector, At em it surveyor, and Prince
naval omcer.
New York, Oct. 23. A contract has
just been closed here with John Roach
& Sons for two first-class iron steam
ers of 3,000 tons each for the Oregon
Steamship Companv, to run between
San Francisco and Portland in connec
tion with the Oregon Centeral and Ore
gon and California railroads. The
ships are to be constructed with special
reference to carriage of wheat and other
heavy freight, and to be ready for ser
vice by July 15th next. The new iron
passenger steamer Oregon, forthesamo
company ia about raaily to launch
from Roach's yard, and will sail henca
for San Francisco about January 15th.
Chicago, Oct. 23. The Times'
Washington special says: Tha action
of the senate elections committse.vhile
it cannot bo scid to tally cne fcr Kel
logg, is undoubtcly In his favor, as ha
can under Hoar's resolution refer to
documents. The qnestion thereforo
involves the legality of the present leg
islature and governor of Louisiana.
Kellogg has Shellabarger and Spofford
has John II. Campbell of New Orleans
for counsel. The election committee
intends to push all cases before it to an
early termination.
The president's friends say he is very
much afraid of being called a se'eond
Andy Johnson, and terms are easily
made with him. ne is doing his best
to get on good footing with his party
people, and to that end has sub
stantially renounced his civil service
plans. He avoids issue by issue
through his friends. He has been mis
represented, and wishes people would
come and consult with him Before at
tacking him.
New York, Oct. 23. The Tribune's
Washington special says: Gen. Sher
man favors extending to white people
and their property, as well as the prop
erty of the United States, full and ample
military protection from depredations
of the hostile Indians. While he i3 not
actually in favor of a fighting policy to
ward the Indians instead of one of feel
ing, he has always advocated that the
army should have full control of the
Indian question. Sherman said he be
lieved the Indian troubles in Oregon,
Nevada, and other States and Territor
ies through which he haspassed to be
at an end. Whatever may be said, the
army has certainly none its duty nobly.
A long interview between the General
and Secretary of War took place this
morning.
It is learned that tho administration
is at a loss to determine what disposi
tion to make of Chief Joseph and his
band now that they have been caught.
Sherman says Joseph fought in a Chris
tian manner, not taking scalps nor mu
tilating the dead, and he is not in favor
of putting him to death. He is, how
ever, opposed to releasing him and al
lowing him ta return to Oregon. The
chief knows too much of that country,
and may again become troublesome.
