At the beginning of the war in Europe the total ship ton nage of all nations was little in excess of that necessary to han dle international commerce. The world was then building ships of about 3,000,000 tons total capacity annually. It h estimated that the ships destroyed thus far during the war had a capacity of about 3,500,000 tons. In the meantime, con struction has been halted. In view of these facts, it is auite certain that at the close of the war there will be erreat imrjetus ,fR' in the ship-building industry not only in this country but s,"r u'rt "1 of hi ,li,',l,,narv tt"r,!, throughout the world. strong enough to rxpre, their oplu- ; ion of The Knterprise. 9 Hut The Knterprlne's-remarks were kmTi im ,., . .

The wise man in Oregon City may bet his money on some things, but there is one place where he will not throw it away. That proposition to charge fares for rides on the municipal elevator is as good as defeated right now. The only ques tion is, by how great a majority. THE ONE WAY TO HAVE MONEY IS TO SAVE IT The Dure way to save it is by depositing in a responsible bank. You will then be exempt from the an noyance of having it burn holes in your pockets, and aside from the fact that your money will be safer from thief, the habit of saving tends to the establishment of thrift, economy and general under standing of business principals essential to your success.

Instead of a merchant tukinn il as a common place matter when he receives a shipment, the event is now one to almost celebrate, so hard Is it to procure the right kind of merchan dise. The Oregon City Shoe store feels particularly elated over tho latest shipment of women's high top shoos In both lace and button. The have nine inch tops are made of kid, and have the new Louis fifteenth heed. The lace shoe has Cats-paw rubber heels and button style has a heel with an aluminum plate, which Is a new in vention, glvliiR the heel unusual wear ing qur.litles. These shoes announced In an ad in today's ismie of the Enterprise, are priced at $G, because of their purchase some time ago, but were the firm forced to go out In the market and purchase them today, the chances are that they would be forced to pay al most this price wholesale.

And, It may as well ho stated lu re that Important legal matters are coining up In the next 12 months in which the city Is vitally concerned. The light of the city for the trinngu 'ar strip of property at the foot of Main street, fronting on the basin, will be argued before tho state su premo court in a few months, the Portland Hallway Light & l'ower com pany, tho loser In the lower courts, having appealed. A damage action or two are also pending and the city Is straightening out the kinks In sev eral assessment cases. The council can feel Justified in emproylng uny attorney In town for this Important work, as the charter provides no legal restrictions In this matter, although such action would add to tho cost of town government as It has In the past. Recorder's Salary Limited. A condition somewhat similar In nature exists In the matter of tho eletclon of a city recorder. Tho great er pait or the work of this office Is done by the assistant, at present time Miss Doily Pratt. The recorder re ceives only $2,'i a month, and cannot, under the charter, recelvo more than that sum. The charter, In fact, is un usually deflnlle In tho matter. "The city recorder shall receive $25 per months us full compensation for all services rendered the city as recor der," reads chapter 8 on page 19 of the charter. One candidate for the office at least planned to take over the entire office and receive the en tire monthly appropriation as salary, i.... it.,.. ... . out mis ciause Knocks this plnn in tho head, even If he should be success ful at the polls. The recorder even lacks the power to name his assistant, who does the work. The council can select any per son It pleased, and from past perform ances It Is evident that Miss Pratt, who lias thoroughly mastered the com plicated details of the office, will be on the Job after tho first of the year aB at present.
