In talking over the Clackamas
County Budget Meeting, occur
ring a week ago last Saturday,
several taxpayers have called at
tention to the lack of any action
taken by the taxpayers covering
the item headed "Estimated Re
ceipts from other Sources than
Direct Taxation" which amounts
to $20,300.00.
The taxpayers allowed the ma
jority of the appropriations ask
ed for, including expenses of Re
corder’s, Sheriff’s Clerk’s and
other offices, which showed an
income in the above item.
The question is what will be
come of the $20,300.00 and to
whom, and where does it go?
The “ LiveWires” oftheOregon
City Commercial Club are plan
ning to issue special literature,
dealing with the advantages of
industries locating there, es
pecially since the P. R. L. &. P.
Co. has announced a decided re
duction in the rate for electrical
power for manufacturing.
As Eastern Clackamas County
is the center for the largest part
of the generation of electrical
power of the P. R. L. & P. Co.,
Estacada, through its Farmers’&
Merchants Club might well emu
late the "Live Wires.”
In the Golden Anniversary is
sue of the Oregon City Enterprise,
considerable space was given over
to a description of Clackamas
County’s fruit growing resources,
calling especial attention to the

Julius Wilbur, proprietor of the
oft-raided Friars' Club of Mil-
waulkie, was this week placed on
trial for violations of the prohi
bition law, being the third time
Wilbur has been arranged, hav
ing twice had his case postponed
on legal technicalities.
If Wilbur continues to creep
out on legal technicalities, he will
soon be qualified as the real suc
cessor to Fritz Boysen, the no-
torions Hotel Belie booze peddler
who cost Clackamas County thou
sands of dollars and ended up by
giving the authorities the laugh.
It is reported that the Stati
Fish & Game Commission is con
sidering the increasing of hunt
ing and fishing licenses from $1
to $1.50.
If such an action is taken, it
will meet with the antagonism of
the majority of sportsmen and
especially will antagonise many
local farmers and ianchers, who
today do but little hunting or
fishing in a year, hut who do
much good work in the restock
ing of streams, liberation and
care of game etc.
Much credit is being given the
famous paper manufacturers of
Oregon ¿ ity this year, in annouc-
ing substantial Christmas gifts
for all employees.
But some of us publishers de
serve part of the credit, as we
are the ones who are today pay
ing 8c per pound for their paper
stock, instead of 2 or 3c as a year
or two ago.
