As a majority of the school districts of Clackamas county will soon engage their teachers for tin-spring and summer terms of school, it bchoou'sthe district officers to en gage the hct preceptors that can bo ob tained with the limited means at their dis posal.

I.aas to guard against such a result, hut lik-ral enough to -rmit j desirable emigration, cannot ho soon be en acted. The financial effects of emigration on a large scale are sometimes overlooked. Probably forty percent, of the emigrants to this country are assisted by prepaid tick ets, or money furnished by relatives or friends who have preceded them. In this way hundreds of million of dollars have been taken out of the I'nited State and dis tributed aiming the poor of every nation of Europe. It is not Phi much to sav that if Kurope were for one year deprived of the vastsums sent thither by the Cuited States by immigrant, every depart inent of Euro pean enterprise would feel the shock. Every year large number of emigrants, especially Italians, return Iroin a brief visit to their old honics. Their presence among their old friends, with all the evidences of prox imity, and making know n the customs and institutions ol their new homes, gives new impulse to emigration, and cannot fail to influence the customs and institution of their nutive lands. Thk trial of Sandy Olds for the brutal murder of Emil Webcrin Portland, has been concluded at II i INIjuro, ami the jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter. The murder was premeditated, and a cold blooded one, and seieral of the gamblers of Portland claim that they have spent at least ten thousand dollars in their efforts to save him from the gallows, and they regard the out come ' the trial ut Hillsboro a signal vic tory. Several important witnesses for the state had been spirited away, and new evi dence wus brought in that favored the de fendant. The jury was selected from a class that could not read, or at least objec tion were made to all that had been readers of the Oregonian. Prosecuting Attorney Stephens, of Portland, and District Attor ney Mcliride of this city, made strong and laudable efforts for his conviction. Objec tions were made by District Attorney Mc Bride to Joe Day and other policemen, who were called up as witnesses, which raised a breeze, but Mr. Mcliride pluckily replied that he proposed to show that the witness had been paid by the vilest element of the Portland slums, and that the sources from which he formerly derived his living as a special policeman were so disreputable that the witness was utterly unworthy of belief. feElf atok Tongue, of Washington county, is accused of being the active power that perpetrated the defeat of the new tux and assessment laws ut the last session of the legislature. The fuilurctoaincnd or change the laws relating to assessment and luxa tion is virtually offering a premium to peo ple w ho have taxable property to go in debt, and the lute legislature cannot be too se verely condemned for its inattention to the desires oi the people who sent them there jo gee that just mid equitable assessment law W're enacted. The large proorty owner still (lodges Ihe issue, and the bulk of the taxes fulls on the smull taxpayer. The fjjjan manages to get in enough Indebt edness to make his portion of taxation coui pjrativcly small, and the burden fulls on the man of moderate means, who willevent uully find that the only wuy to escape the injustice is to get in debt to the greatest jios iiihle extreme. r tut Northwest Heform Journal moans and weeps over the election of John M.

Til kick is no economy In sending east lor merchandise or other article that one can purchase at home, is the money is sent out ol' the country never to actum, and the decrease in the circulating medium works t hardship on the'iitire community.

It is now an assured fact that Oregon will have a credittblo display at the world' ex position. The stute board of agriculture are taking active steps in the premises, and ure determined to carry it to a successful issue. Captain J. 1. A pperum ha been e K'cially energetic in reducing .the measure to an organized plan of action. The county 10nrt f Clackamas county and the board f in,,!,, of Oregon City should lake esclal interest in electing delegate to attend the i-onvenlion on "I'ionner Iay," June 15, and riiUinj; the quota of npprupriution due from eimntv Almost every county in the state ha a horticultural society where the fruit grower assemble at stated periods, and discus mat tors of imimrtanoe to Us memlirr, and of subjects that require united action. Fruit growing is becoming an industry of such importance in Clackamas county tha( linrti C11turists should organine lor their mutual benefit. That such an institution would prove ol immense advantage ha been ahun ilanlly demonstrated by these organizations in other sections. Clackamas county is des tined to become one of the great fruit ec- tionsof the Northwest, and the number of trees being planted are steadily augmenting each season The incorimration of the lluttc Creek and Molullu rail road is an item of iniKrtance to the K-ople of Clackamas couiuy. Its construction means a road that will traverse the richest rtions of Marion and Clackamas counties with a terminus both at Oregon City and Bulem. It will bring In close proximity to market the com paratively isolated sections of Ilutte Creek, Scott's Mills, WillioitSodaSpringsand Mo lalla. All this country is rich in timber, anil possesses the finest agricultural lands in Oregon. There can be no question but what this road would be a paying invest incut, and would add Immensely tothebusi ness und commercial Importance of Oregon City, and would be of vast benefit to the residents wherever the roail is located. The completion of this road would make Ore gon City the terminus of an important rail road, and our board of trade and citizens should give the enterprise every encourage ment possible. Wool, growers are becoming prosierous under Ihe new turilf bill. The adverse tanfl legislation of lHK't arrested the development of our wool-growing Industry, and started it on the decline which has since continued The triumph of Protection in the presiden tial election of 18as, which gave the assur ance that the errors in the wool schedule of the taaifTof 1S83 would be corrected, ashas actually been done by the McKinley bill, started wool growing on an upward course. The latest issue from the department of ag riculture brings the gratifying intelligence to fanners that the increased interest in sheep and wool, noted a year ago, ha been continued, and this has been probably the most profitable branch of our stock industry during the year, and "that the decline in wool production, which began with the slaughter of Hocks In 84-'H5, after the ad verse tariff of 183 went into effect, has been cnecked, theuggregate clip for 1890 being es timated at 27G,0iX),0O0 lbs. over the previous season." Protection anil not free wool, wa the remedy for the declining wool produc tion. Tub combine, that male a monopoly of the steamboat business on Paget Hound has been broken, but Astoria and the lower Co lumbia ure gulling under the yoke of a steamboat monopoly tht grinds them almost U) despair. Freight and passenger rales are soexhorbitantthat Astoria'scoinmercial re lations with Portland, and points up the Willamette valley are suffering to an alarm ing extent. Astoria and the lower Colum bia raise no wheat; it is not essentially an ugricuiturtil country; but the population of that section arc cash customers for the products of the Willamette valley. And when the Astoria boats cinch the people of the lower Columbia by exhorbitant freight rates they are slabbing at the producing In terests of the Willamette valley and the wholesale merchants of Portland, for ex horbitant rates of transportation drive the trade of Astoria to Ban Francisco and Cull fornltt. As un instance of this Messrs. Foard & Stokes, leading merchant and shippers of Astoria, a few days ago received a car load of flour from a California mill by the steamer Oregon. They cluim that they would prefer to buy their flour in Portland add Hulcm, as they have been doing in the past, but they cannot stand the present high rates of freight. A l..u niu n. ell'iut is being made by several of our clllmms to retain the cannery at this place, and a meeting I called at the Armory hall on Saturday Manh IS, at I:' .30 M, to Iroin a co-npoiiili company to pitrvhasc the cannery from the present proprietors, who claim that tt plolllable dividend was miule from hist season' husl- ntst, but a their Interest are centered in Portland, they are dctlrloo of coniwilldut log tholr Investment ituine place.

We cannot afford to lose the cannery, Oregon City ha too much enterprise to permit ueli a calamity. A rsw weeks ago the Juries and court of New Orleaut refused to convict the assassin of Chief lleniiesey, and last week, Ihe jury and court at Hillsboro almost gave another assassin his liberty one year In the ieiiltentiary. It I said history some times rcwat itself Doth instance are anomalous. Tht killing of Weber by Olds wa nothing more than the rtsult of dilll cultie cautti by the pdlct of Portland, favoring one tet of gambler and persecu ting mother.

What wat this hut premeditated murder? Koi.tiiwiso In the wake of the Mailt ex citement at New Orlean, is the horror of the revolt In Chili, where the cut throat oldiery burned buildings, and luiighterod helpless men, women and children without mervy; the re(Hirt of outright purchase and bribery in the senatorial contest at the Cal ifornia legislature; thou comes the terrible disaster ol the wreck of tht Clopia In (II braller bay by collision with the llritlsh Iron-claW ltodney, and nearly six hundred Italian Immigrants IkhiihI for New York, found a grave at Ihe hollom of Ihe sea, lends a more heart remlingtiorror to Ihe great uphrat at of startling accidents and atroc ities.

Editor or Eistekpuihk: It is hardly necessary to call the atten tion of the people to the disgracefully, lillliy condition of our city, for they all know it is Impossible to overlook such a condition, but it 1 necessary to point out the urgent need of Immediute remedy for this condi tion of afluirs. Of thediseascs resulting front filth und bad druinageor no drainagh, thiscltyls having its share, and will unless something is done have more than itsshare. When the inhabi tants ol a city so far forget what Is due to laws of health as to throw all sorts of wuste and kitchen refuse ulrectly into the streets and alleys there to lie and breed genus ol disease, it is high time our board of health took some action in the matter. The remedy doe not consist simply In spending money for any of the so-called disinfectants, for it is a waste of time and money to throw much or little lime, etc over these plague spots. Clean them out and then keep them clean ; do it before the warm weather, do it at once, a few dol lars expended in that way may save many dollars to doctors or undertakers; do not waste your time looking to see If your neighbor bus a clean buck yard or fester- lug sink drain or cesspool, look to your own, Muny times strangers visit our town and see only Unit portion of it only under the bluff, and declare it to he "the filthiest town they ever suw," to our sorrow be it said, but who can deny it? Where will you find such another? Look along Main street from the bridge to the basin and see the sidewalk on both sides literally bor dered with a green and stagnant foul and fever breeding muck holes, deeper and worse in the front of the shop doors, there to catch all the sweepings refuse from store or 'saloon ; and the rear of nearly every place is worse than the front, if you will only take the trouble to Investigate. Will they heed?. Will our board ofheiilth enforce any or all of the regulations per taining to these matters?
