Now is the time to cut thistles, both on public and private prop erty. While the Canadian this tle is not well started here yet, with the present negligence shown the bull thistle, it will soon get a foothold. 40 automobilists can merely re-, quest from the county court and get $1600.00, when Eastern Clackamas with over 15,000 mem- bers cannot get a cent of it. There are in the vicinity of Es- tacada about 100 automobile own ers, who by getting together might just as well have asked for this $1600.00 first, as the money was raised partly from a tax on their machines. The Courier says: "T h is paper does not believe that any club has the right to dictate anything in the line o f pub lic policy to the county court as a tux payer and voter, whom do you think should dictate county affairs, the coun ty court or the auto club?” Have you sorted out a bundle W hy is it that the distant fields or two of especially tine grain or grasses for the coming exhibits? always look greener and the pros- pects of easv profits from an out It is pleasing to note that the of town industry appear more al- report o f Clackamas county luring than a little home indus 3hows that the cash exceeds the try ?

About nine months ago, the If you chance to note an espec - 1 East Clackamas County Fair com- ially happy expression on some mittee began soliciting financial of the estacada merchants and j help from the court for their others, it is owing to the present trlfa) nuwiifouvg on of the officials | and promotors of the defunct I U.

Harkenrider, Ely and others had presented their appeal repeatedly to that body, but in each case obtained nothing but promises to consider it. Fi- nally the committee became dis- couraged and as a last resort co operated with the Progress in calling a special meeting July 5th, and appointed a committee to wait on the court This com mittee was cordially received and bids fair to have obtained the sum of $200. No complaint or criticism would have been made against the court, had something definite been ac complished earlier. According to Commissioner Mattoon, it was ®n‘y a ma“ «;r abo'it th,rty ag° $ a t tbe, cour} u a* ,e ? d that they did not have the ju n s- diction over the fair funds, and then passed the responsibility over to the County Fair Board. If the Estacada district has ex pressed undue criticism in the past, now that matters have been adjusted, it probably will join with the Progress in herewith . . apologizing, Owners of autos travelling to Portland these days are constant- ly being bothered by pedestrians, who hail the driver, expecting a jitney ride. It is a safe bet that more than one owner fills up that empty seat along the way and pays for his gasoline. j The Progress must have stirred up something in its recent criti cism of the county court for spending $1(500.00 for road oil. The county seat papers are still giving it publicity, with the Courier as ever seeing the fair ness of Eastern ClacKamas’ con tention and the Enterprise as al ways defending the court and trying to find excuse for the $1000.00 having been used as ordered. We have finally learned what the ‘ ‘Automobile club” is, al though Commissioner Maitoon had previously stated that he didn t know who or what they were. It is a little organization called the Clackamas County Auto Club, with headquarters in Ore gon City, comprising between 30 and 4& members. To quote from the Enterprise o f July 16th: ■rRMi* fo r a membership cam paign whicffd» expected to bring in 100 m em bers within the next month, were made at a m eeting o f the l lackamss county automobile C lu b Friday nig t.
