Poor fellow, we know how hard

political dope.

Clackamas County has the dis
tinction, according to assistant
County Agent Leader, W. L.
Kadderly of the 0. A. C. Exten-
tion Department, of being the
only county in the state which to
day has not completed a farm
survey for the coming season.
Such a survey is now being un
dertaken through the mails by
Mr. Kadderly and it is hoped
every farmer will respond to the
appeal and give the small amount
of time necessary to fill out the
form-sheets and return them to
headquarters in the "franked”
envelope which will be furnished.

That Cascade County will again
become a live issue in this coun
ty this year, may not have been
generally known, although all
know that the Cascade County
movement will always be a live
issue until Cascade County is
formed.
In as much as Senator Dimick
is making his campaign for re-
election on the p l a t f o r m of
"Clackamas Undivided” , believ
ing that his return to the legis
lature is necessary to champion
that cause, the News has an
nounced this week that the ques
tion of county division will be
left to a vote of the people of
Clackamas County, chereby re
moving much of the responsibili
ties from Mr. Dimick’s shoulders.
We note that Mr. Brownell ap
parently is better posted on the
plans and interests of the county
at large, as in his platform he
mentions that the question will
be left to a vote of the people
and that he will abide by that
vote.
The News has been asked
"W h> devote so much space to
the subject of Terminal Bates for
Estacada?”
Our reason is that we believe
the obtaining of such equitable
shipping rates, is really the key-
note to the development of our
timber resources.
These Terminal Bates can only
be obtained by a demand being
made upon the Interstate Com
merce Commission by the general
public and the shippers, so the
public has first to be informed on
the subject. Ami as we all know,
anything that will stimulate the
location of industries in our midst
and develope our resources, di
rectly benefits every man, woman
and child in this community.
In the Oregon City Enterprise
of March 22nd, appears the fol
lowing paragraph, being th e
termination of the article dealing
with the candidacy of Senator
Dimick:

We are curious to know the
meaning of the last line, for it
l«K»ks like a code message or a
suppressed oath and should be de
leted by censor l>efore appear
ing on the ballot.
Again it is barely possible this
last line was a typographical
error, but it is more than likely

Local people have been looking
for the past week for a glimpse
of the Dimick political placards,
which it was heralded were now
being distributed throughout the
county.
Latest reports indicate the
presence ot but one in Eastern
Clackamas so far, that being re
ported by his neighbors as dec
orating the side of Noah Stingley’s
barn at Eagle ('reek.
The side of Mr. Stingley’s
barn is a most appropriate place
for the advertising of Mr. Dim
ick’s candidacy, for Mr. Sting ley
represents about the only true
adherent of the "Clackamas U n
divided” principal in this portion
of the county, Mr. Stingley hav
ing always been a staunch sup
porter of the "court-house ring”
management of the county and
having for several years held the
responsible position of Judge of
the Horse-Racing at the C’anby
Fair.
Noah’s selection of the side of
his barn for the display of the
advertising is an admirable one,
although 1 1 we were supporters
of Mr. Dimick’s candidacy; we
would post his placard on our
front gate or hang it in the front
window and not consign it to a
place usually reserved for rub
bish or other unsightly material.
