Upon the merit or demerit of the
caucus law Mr.. Holman must be judged
as to his honesty or dishonesty in
affairs of Legislation, for outside the
formation and the agitation relative to
the passage of that law this record s
not radically different than that of
many another man who has gone to
the Legislature and sought TO do hings
which should make for the welfare of
this state. The circumstances under
which the Caucus law was enacted,
following closely as it did the defeat
or the primary petition, have led many
to offer criticism, when as a matter OF
fact they were not familiar with the
provisions of the law. la fact the
burden of criticism offered against the
Caucus law was before it had been
tried, and as a matter OF fact but little
criticism has been directed against it
since 1t has been used In the practical
operation of election machinery. IL
woula appear that In this as in most
other matters a mans motives and
efforts should be judged largely by the
results which accrue. Iffairness were
to apply and this rule be applied to the
law in question 1t must be admitted ac-
cording TO the Judgment of large
number OF men that so far as the law
goes 1t is good. That 1t is defective In
places is probably true, but that it is
dishonest, or vicious, or a make shift, Is
not true in any sense or in any degree
accordingly to the popular Judgment

Official County and City Paper

The Yankton Herald takes the Clarion
to task for declaring that we do not be-
iieve that Roosevelt is the only man In
the United States who can defeat
Bryan for president in 1908. The
Clarion does not believe in lone man"
government. No man can be greater
than his party and win. Bryan is
greater than his party but he can never
win because the principles of the party
he represents are wrong and con-
sequently he cannot stand upon q
democratic platform and win. The
same principle holds gOodin the case of
Roosevelt. Notwithstanding his great
ness he is no greater than his party
and we repeat with emphasis that
platform that will hold Theodore
Roosevelt will be none 100 large to
hold any one of hundred good repub-
ltcans who Can carry the republican
banner of progress and prosperity
through the campaign OF 1908 to the
White House. The republican party
does not depend upon the Individual
qualifications of any man to lead
IL TO success. 1t is a party of princi-
pies, OF glorious achievements, and
when it declares those principles it
will find man big enough TO carry
Them through and have no ditficulty.in
doing so either. The Herald ID in
error when it states that the Clarion is
disgruntled. We never felt better in
our life. The Clarion good loser,
and while we might nave made some
changes had We been IT in the state
convention, We have no kick coming
and will make the democratic party,
which, like the mule, has neither
pride of ancestry nor hope of posteri-
Iy," go some before IL will elect the
champion of l6 to president of the
United SLates-M Mitchell Clarion.

CLOSED FOOT BALL SEASON

The Perrysburg Foot Ball team
closed the season on Thanksgiving
with the fast Columbia team of Tole-
do who held the local boys down to a
to 0 score again. Perrysburg would
have beaten this team had they prac-
ticed, but they weren't in shape to
meet good team. Too much fumb-
ling and talking time away, is what
kept the score tie. Perrysburg's de-
fense has been weak and for that rea-
son the scores haye been small. The
home goal has never been crossed
this year and never been in danger
but once when the Columbias punted
to Perrysburg and the ball was FUN
bled on the yard line, the ball was
soon punted back out of danger again.
The boys nevertheless have put up "a
fine game all season and everybody
tried hard to play good ball.
The team this year was very lucky
to have a good punter and drop
kicker with them this year. Neifer's
punts have averaged 40 to so yard all
season. We're looking for good
team this season. ~

Money in Cherries.

AS cherry story, the following il
hard to beat. 1t also shows what d-
versitied farming would mean to Or
egon farmers in general. The item is
from the Eugene Guard:
NJ. S. Barker went over to NJ. Ii.
Harlow's farm, just across the river,
this morning, to take a photograph of
his two acre Royal Anne cherry or
chard, to be used in the advertisement
to be carried in the Pacific Monthly by
the Eugene commercial. bodies. This
orchard yielded II bumper crop this
year. Off of the two acres Mr.. Harlow
secured 23,100 pounds, or II tons and
100 pounds cherries, compared with
10000 pounds, or 0la tons last year. At
cents pound the cherries brought
him S94S, or S474 an acre. The cost of
picking and marketing them was S236,
leaving net profit of S7l2, or 1856 an
acre. Mr., Harlow says ii it had not
been for the cold rains in May and June
he would have had at least 20 per cent
more cherries than he had.

Oregon in the Lead.

The assertion, which comes from an
authoritative source, that Oregon leads
all other states in the packing and
handling of fruit, will surprise many
people who do not expect a state to ex-
Gel in an enterprise in which it is COM
paratively new. Yet perhaps the fact
that Oregon is young in the fruit pack
ing industry Is one explanation for its
superiority. Older states adopted cer-
tain packing methods years ago and
have kept along in old ruts. Oregon,
In order to put its fruit upon the
market in competition with the product
OF states that had already established
Il regular trade, was compelled to pack
fruit in better and more attractive
shape, so that it would keep while be-
ing shipped, and win favor by its
appearance when displayed for the
spection OF consumers. Hood River
and.Rogue River apple growers have
been packing their apples in n manner
that wins commentator in the largest
markets in the world. Small fruits
could not be better packed for ship
ment or for display in the markets than
they are here III Oregon. Prunes,
which are standing joke all over the
East, have new character when
packed in 10-pound boxes, carefully
faced and partly covered with border
OF lace paper. The prunes that we're
formerly bought in bulk from bags were
exactly the same as the prunes packed
in boxes, except that the latter are
cleaned by a steaming process and have
a brighter appearance.
The packing of the fruit has a double
value to the state, for 1t not only gives
1t better standing in the opinion of
consumers, but it brings u price enough
higher to pay the Oregon laborer's
wages in packing. While there will
always be market for prunes or
apples, or other fruit carelessly packed,
at lower prices, the fruit that gains
state or Il community desirable repu-
tation is that which has been put up in
an attractive manner and with name
or trademark that will make it remem-
bered. - Oregonian.

Herman Horning Kills Cougars

Having heard OF a cougar being seen
on the head OF Grave creek, w. B.
Sherman and Herman Horning took q
trip out there Wednesday with the
result that they returned with the skin
of large female cougar that they shot
and with her two kittens, one of which
they captured alive, but their dogs
killed the other one before they could
get to it, The live kitten is about the
size of house cat and takes its cap
tivity quite contentedly. The trip was
hard one on the hunters,as they had
to travel about 80 miles to reach the
section where the cougars ranged and
then they were several hours elm bing
over steep hills before they succeeded
in securing their game.
They now have two young cougars,
they having secured the first from near
Glendale. Early in the spring they
secured three young cougars but they
sold them some time ago to Eastern
parties to be placed in menageries.-

Sheep Not Cheap.

Present sky prices asked for sheep is
topic OF frequent comment. There is
an apparent scarcity, with many would
be purchasers making inquiries. Four
cents per pound was paid recently for II
band of 100 ewes, with the result that
they cost the buyer 1896 per head
Ever since that transaction the general
price is So, with but few selling, mainly
because there is little or no surplus.
The figures are very high, but IN
many an instance in the past year IL
sheep has yielded as much as that or
even more to the owner. a farmer who
discussed the matter yesterday said his
band Of ewes sheared an average of
eight pounds of wool, which went at
25 cents, making 81 per head. The
band averaged also a lamb to the eve,
and the lambs we're sold at $3.50, "A
total of $5.65 per head, making his
band of sheep by far the best invest
ment on his farm.
The top quotation for mutton sheep
is four cents per pound. The condition
presented is, that sheep are worth as
much or more for stocking purposes as
for mutton Corvallis Times

THE CARE OF AWNINGS.
Do Not Roll Them Up When It Rains

to know how to care for awnings,
They are costly to begin with, and
the weather plays such havoc in de-

the best way to preserve them.
1t is not the thing to do to draw
awnings up when rain 10 falling. II
in folds they hold much more wa

because they begin to dry almost inn
mediately when the sun comes out.

that they may not collect heavy dew
