THE ROAD TO MOLALLA Latest reports from the Clackamas Southern Railway offices show a large portion of the new stock sub scribed, and that at a very early date work will be commenced again In earn est, the road to be finished and oper ating before winter as far as Molalla. The officers of tills company have been giving their valuable time to this missionary work no doubt losing much by being away 'from their own businesses, at the same time this is being done gladly by each and every one and success alone can be the re sult of such endeavor. These gentle- su.t or sucn enu ur men have been following the old aa-, age if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Success in any lue U worth the effort. These gentlemen are making history, and if their present plans are carried through they will have accomplished something very seldom, if ever, attained the build ing of a railroad without the lssu ance and sale of bonds a railroad owned entirely by its stockholders and out of debt Knockers are continually working against the company missionaries of evil have been operating along the line oMhe survey and some of them are our own fellow citizens, a fact hardly conceivable, but still a fact What their motive can be we of course do not know, but in these days of corrupt practice and false teachings, we can only surmise, as also can the reader w,t, m, men as the road has at With such men as me roaa nas m , its head, business and professional . . .u .. x-nio.nriao men all above reproach, the Enterprise feels Jt unnecessary to print and deny the falsehoods which are being circu lated. Oregon City people know and feel that their neighbors along the proposed route feel likewise. ELEVATOR FOR BLUFF The rising generation continues to take up subjects either unthought of or considered impossible by our forefathers. Like many other Items of Interest to the general public, an elevator is a necessity, Is a possibil ity and when installed, we will all ask each other and ourselves, "why didn't we do that long ago?" As In all matters, however, diffi culties of one nature or another are encountered and an important one now seems possible to retard immed iate work. When our fathers laid out the town, Seventh street down town j was not platted immediately opposite Seventh street on the Hill. The on ly central location for an elevator Is on Seventh street Would that the Father of Oregon City had thought of this problem when laying out our beautiful city. He In that event would have left a promenade between Sixth and Seventh on the edge of the bluff at least 20 feet in width, in addition to the alley shown on the plat of re cord. There Is no doubt about prop erty values increasing with the ele vator service and the itoperty immedi ately adjoining would be given a boost such as no other civic Improvement could give. When the council takes action, the owners of the property needed for this work, will probably come forth with the desired rights, knowing the value and aid to a large portion of our population, workers in our large factories, as well as to their wives , many of whom have babies, and who find it very difficult to visit the business district. This Is a good live subject Boost for It!

Poultry Notes This Is the time of the year when country women are thinking of gard ens and chickens and it is hard to tell which holds their attention more with myself it is the chickens, as'thi year we have netted considerable more than $300 from our small flock baring H3 hens at the beginning of the year, but many of these were sold off during the summer and fall, sold off during the summer and fall. We told many dozens of high priced pees through the winter. I wonder how manv people understand the best way to feed milk to hens.

Kale also is valua hie as preen feed for the chickens Too much care cannot be taken at this season of the year to keep the hens and chicks free from lice and mites, and right here I want to sound a warning against the use of antisep tic (so-called) nest eggs, reputed to keen chickens free from mites and lice. Hearing that an acquaintance had used them ana recommenaea them highly we bought a lot of them The directions say to use them In the nests of the laying hens, under vnnr hatch ne hens land the man who sold them to us said the same also to put them under the hens two nights a week, when brooding tne jit- tie chicks. When we cot the eggs I had some hens about to hatch so put one of the eggs under each hen as well as the other setting hens. The results were simply disastrous. A lot of the chicks were killed while still under the hens and some of those that sur vived have since died five today I expect to find more dead in the morning. As for the eggs killing lice i know thev d d not kill some on a couple of brood hens that sat on those eggs in the laying hens nests. Then too the nest eggs imparted an odcr to the fresh eggs. Mv neighbor who got some of the "Antiseptic Nest Eggs" the same day as I did. tells me they drove her set ting hens off the nest, and even killed a fine hlooded settings hen for her. She too has been losing her little chinks that were hovered with an egg In their coop. We have no furth er use for "lice killing nest eggs." A POULTRY WOMAN. MILTON A.

There is now need of brick for the building of the supreme coutr and li brary Luilding and other state insti tutions. If the convicts make the brick, the cost to the state will be about $3.50 per thousand, while if the state buys them in the open market the cost will be three times aa much. The other member of the state board, State Treasurer Kay and Sec retary of State Olcott, are willing to a ih fnnrlu tn onerate the brick yard, but it Is understood they op pose using the runas ior any uu r purposes.

OILU TAFT IS INDORSED BY EMPIRE STATE ROCHESTER, N. V., April 10. The Republican State Convention adopted today a platform urging New York's delgation to tho Chicago Na tional Cnnveut'on to favor the reiioml nation of President Taft,, elected four delgates-at-large and alternates to that convention, and adjourned sine die. The delegates chosen are United States Senator Ellhu Root, State Chairman William Barnes, J. William Herri, of Brooklyn and Edwin A. Mer rill, Jr., Speaker of the Assembly. Temporary chairman Butler was made permanent chairman when tho convention was called to order. State Chairman Barnes read the platform, which was made public last night and which endorses President Taft. One plank of tlin Sherman anti-trust law was not made public until today. It reads: "We believe in adequate laws to prevent monoply in trade. We favor the retention of the Sherman anti trust act; but that it should be sup plemeted by further legislation to give the same certalnity to the law controlling combinations and monop olies that characterize other provis ions of our commercial law, to the end that the field of business oppor tunity shall not be restricted by mon opoly or combination; that business successes honestly achieved, may not be converted Into crimes, and that the right of all men to acquire any commodity, and particularly the nec essities of life In an oien market, un influenced by the manipulation of trusts or combinations, may be pre served. "There should be provision for an administrative board for the better enforcement of the law against mon opoly. There should bo further leg islation to define as criminal offenses speclllc acts which mark attempts to restrain and monopolize the trade; so that those who honestly Intend to obey the law may have a guide for action and those who violate the law may more surely be punished." The indorsement of President Taft brought general applause. Senator Root then seconded the res olution in a speeh In which he con fined himself to a single subject of the platform the Interference with the Independence of the Judiciary. "We can change the tariff laws on questions of general public moment," he said, "but the eternal principles of Justice can never be changed without degraation of the people." TO BE SETTLED PHILADELPHIA. April 10. Pros pects of an early resumption of an thracite mining grew brighter today. after the miners and the operatives decided to talk over their differences. When the negotiations broke off on March 25 were resumed here this aft ernoon, George F. Baer, president of the Reading Company, proposed, on behalf of the operators, to arbitrate their differences that Is, to let the anthracite strike commission, which settled the strike of 1302, Investigate present conditions and decide whether and modification of the commission's award Is necessary at this time. In the discussion that followed the miners practically threw this offer aside and the confereneee agreed ful- ly to appoint subcommittees to take up the demands of th, miners, with the power to make recommendations for adjustmepts.
