OREGON CITY,. JAN. 13, 1899.
CITY EXPANSION.
The mayor's message relating to the
annexation of Canemah and the West
Side has provoked very general discus
sion. Tlieie are many arguments in favor
of the proposition. If Oregon City is to
maintain her prestige and grow to any
considerable size, she should have a
broad foundation. The limits should
include that terr'tory, which is to in
clude the residence, business and roan
ufacturing districts. The West Side
now has advantages in pol'ce and fire
protection water and lights, ue of
bridge partly maintained by city money,
besides many oiher benefits afforded by
the city without paying a single dollar
of city taxes. '
Annexation of the West Side means
the acquisition of nearly as much more
taxable property, with an increase of
several hundred population. It is quite
natural that the mill owners object, on
account of taxes, but the question is not
one of individual consent but of general
benefit The flour mills and ' woolen
, mills p.ty city tax and it is no more than
right that the paper mills should do
likewise. The people of Oregon City
are nearly a unit in favor of expansion.
The taking in of additional territory will
reduce the city lax levy.
HARVEY SCOTT; POt'ULLST.
One would, from reading the leading
editorial .in Monday's Oregonian, think
that Mr. Pcolt had turned reformer and ,
was about to take up the cause of the
common people. V hat is the matter?
Are some of the republicans becoming
alarinud at the extravagant way the
public money raised by taxation is being
squandered by their ollice-holding
horde? He lays the blame on the voters,
who, by the way, ure not altogether re
sponsible for the condition of thing,
even if they do vote for men ho get in
ofiice and then twin traitor to the poo
p'e. The voters don't seem to be'ready
for ruforiu for a while yet. .lust look at
the way they turned down the populitt
olficials in this county who saved them
10,000 in two years in salaries alone,
bet-ides doing much better work ihun
their republican predeuessots. If the
ofiice holders will kindly "rub it in" for
a few years longer the people may come
to their senses and turn the republican
ptotectionists out as they gradually tee,
as the Oregonian said a few days ago,
that "protection breeds trusts," and
trusts are not the making of the poor
man. This it what the Oregonian said
.Monday :
Nothing is so lamented as the ten
dency of i he times to create a small class
of very rich and a large class of very
poor gradually eliminating or reducing
the middle class, or peisons of mo lerate
means. Ii is undeniable that this ten
dency exists. Hut the fact is, also, that
they who complain mo 4 about it are the
jwrsons who chielly cause i . They c in
stitute a very large proportion of the
voters, aim tiiey cause it In the excess
ive burdens thev impose on nociet.v.
A further effect is that it gve great
capital its opportunity to m ike invest
ments without enterprise or risk. So

creating public debts and issuing bonds,

money Iroin productive eiilerpr se will

COMMENTARIES.
Matters Concerning Local Every
day Affairs Noticed by the
Courier-Herald Reporter.
It is so dark of nights now on the
Seventh street steps, that when
the nights' are not too cold young peo
ple use the resting bench as a trysting
place, as the darkness prevents their
identification. A married man at
tempted to make a mash on a woman
while perambulating down the dark
Seventh street stairway the other night,
but was shocked, after a little investiga
lion.'to discover that the said woman was
his wife.
The Enterprise must have it in hard
for ex-Assessor Lwiene Stout, when it
used a "Lost Manhood Restored" cut
as a representation of his picture. Mr.
Stout made a splendid record as asses
sor, and did not deserve such treat
ment. Besides Mr. Stout is a tine spec
imen of manhood physically.

Walters and Waitresses.
Talking of waitresses, a New York
hotel keeper says that although they
may possess some superior qualities for
such service- there are, on the other
baud, such drawbacks as make it cer
tain that they would never be accept
able to the majority of men who would
have to be served by them. He says :
"I think the objection to them would
be based chiefly on the fact that they
never show eBpeoial attention to any
person. I never knew a woman who
waited on a man to trouble herself in
the least about the manner in which
she served him. It makes absolutely no
difference whether they receive liberal
tips or not. They may be quiet, neat
and qnick, but they wonld never pick
out one piece of beef because it was
better than another or make any effort
to get the best of what was to be bad
in the kitchen., That sort of attention
makes a man worth his fee to the men
who tip him.
"It is this special service that makes
a waiter superior to the best of his as
sociates. Women never detect any dif
ference between the quality of one dish
and another. They ' are all the same,
and good service requires merely that
they shall be set down noiselessly and
brought quickly. There the service of
the waitress ends. She can beat any
man at those features of the business.
But she cannot select for him anything
better than the rest of the customers
get Usually she does not notice any
difference iu them. That deficiency is
the safeguard of the waiter and will
keep his place secure for him. "
Trained Pigeons.
Pigeons are carefully trained. The
young homer is taken half a mile the
first day, a mile the second, two miles
the third, and so on, doubling the dis
tance each time. It must be liberated
each time only in the same direction ns
to its loft, for a bird can be trained
along only one route at a time. When
40 miles have been reached, a week's
rest comes between. A hundred miles
are enough for a young bird's first year.
So essential is the training that old
birds are taken only two milos out for
the first lesson of a season, though tbey
may have flown their 250 miles the
year preceding. The end of the next
season, however, will, if the birds are
willing and the trainer patient, bo
crowned by the accomplishment of a
400 mile flight. As you get higher in
the scale of distance, longer and longer
rests are needed.
Male birds are generally used for
long distances. Family matters are apt
to engross the attention of the hen,
though he is still capable of good work
when she has a mind for it. Good
Words.
As to the Links.
There is no more urdcut evolutionist
in the city and no moro persistent ad
vocate oi Darwin's theory than Dr.
d'Ancoha His friend, Dr. de Marvillo,
on the other hand, is a great bird fan
cier and devotes all his spare time to an
cuthusiastio study of ornithology.
"I have a splendid specimen of a
monkey in my ofiice, " remarked Dr.
d'Ancona proudly. "Come in uud see
him," he continued, being a firm be
liever in the object method of demon
stration. "You will admit that I have
the missing link in a cage."
"That's all right," replied De Mar
ville, absorbed iu his own pet hobby.
"I have a cage at borne myself, and
something in it too. Yon're not in it,
and neither is your monkey. I can show
you something much better than your
missing link. I have got a bobolink. "
San Francisco News Letter.
Prlolean and Calhoun.
The Pendletouiaua were justly proud
of Mr. Calhoun and sensitive as to the
impression which be made upon stran
gers. When Judge Prioleau became a
resident, they were anxious to know
his impressions of their Ajax. When
they first met, as soon as Calhoun left
the table, the question was eagerly
asked, "How do you like him?''
"Not at all," was the newcomer's
reply. "1 desire never to meet him
again." This was a sad rebuff, and an
explanation was demanded. "I hate a
man who uiiikes me think so much,"
the judge replied. "Fit the last three
hours I have been on the stretch trying
to follow him through heaven and
eartu. I feel wearied with the effort,
and 1 hate a mini who u::,k(S me feel
my own luicrlority. fcLdlotun was
