PLEASANT VALLEY.

Ike Porter is blowing and SOW
il z since the rains.
Prof. limerick visited in, the
valley last Saturday.
VIM. Jones, of McMinnville,
spent several days with his father.
School closes at Westwood on
the 18th. Miss Ivey Durkey is a
successful teacher.
Cattle buyers are as plentiful
as the lightning rod peddlers are
in the eastern states. The latter
we have no use for in Oregon.
Grandpa Jones is under DIR.
Loggan's treatment and is little
improved in health. His aged
wife is also in very feeble health.
Mrs. J. E. Henkle spent lew
days in the valley. Dell is quite
Il nimrod- his grandpa was full
partner to feast on the birds he
killed.
Geo. Mcdonald, our efficient
Sunday school superintendent, met
his class, Notwithstanding the very
busy weeks with prunes and harv-
est work.
The weather seems to be rather
unsettled, causing great uneasi.
ness among the hop and prunc
growers and also for those who
have grain unthreshed. Very for
tunate for this valley that all had
their grain threshed before the
rain.
Uncle l. Henkle made visit to
the hop yard last week and also
to Tom Bells prune orchard to
see his newly invented prune
dryer. which he had not finished
for operation, and he pronounced
it wonder within itself. Tom is
a genius.

USURY LAWS. ,

Many Benton county farmers
are refunding their debt at a
lower rate of interest. There is
plenty of money to be loaned at
seven and eight per cent, and
farmers who have not been able
to pay off their 10 per cent
mortgages, can and do renew
them with a saving IN interest.
This fact not only shows that
there is no real scarcity of mon
ey, but it proves the assertion of
those who claim that llsury laws
do not protect the borrower.
Free competition is the best pre-
vention of high interest charges,
and legislative attempts to make
contracts between lender and
borrower discourages such conf
petition.
Usury laws are not only wrong
in principle, but, as all practical
and observing men have discov-
cred, are harmful in operation.
Capital shuns discriminating re-
strictions. The local rates have
not fallen because of the usury
law, but in spite of it. The le-
gal authorized rate is 10 per
cent, and yet money is offered
freely at twoper cent lower. Had
not our laws, lnenacing capital,
kept money out of our state,
this tall in money rent would
have come long ago.
Usury laws do not prevent u.s.
ury. The sharp, unscrupulous
money lender knows how to
avoid the restriction and does SO.
The law aids him. 1t operates
to bar out honest capital, which
seeks less hostile fields. and the
go per center. becomes neces-
sity to some borrower. Were it
not for Oregon's present usury
law there would be more money
offered at six per cent, than there
is today at eight.

ALSEA.

Ed Kiger made a trip to the
county seat this week.
Several Alsea young men and
women are going to Corvallis this
winter to attend the Agricultural
College.
Rains have damaged some of
our crops, but the valleys great
est industry, poultry and eggs, is
unaffected.
The government work on the
Alsea river has been completed
and gives the people waterway
to the ocean-down stream.
These spasmodic and brief COM
munications are not intended SO
much as news letters, but as re-
minder to the outside world that
Alsea is in the land of the living.
Since our great and only journal
istic philosopher, our Sampson of
politics, has given himself up tc
connubial bliss, and joined the
short haired throng, and is no
more able to WELD that mighty
weapon, the Jaw bone of an ass,
we Alseaites have relapsod from
notoriety to obscurity. As an
humble disciple of the fallen hero,
l want to lift my voice betimes
and let you know that the lovliest
valley in all the world has not
lost its men of valor.
