How many improved stroots can we fcet along without? How many brick buildings do we not need'' How little water are we compelled to consume? What;is"tlie least 'possible amount of tax under any consideration we have to pay? How many arc lights oan we do without? How many Btreet cross ings aud ovorhoad railro id crossings are we " com polled to build? How many saloon lioensos can wo keep? Tlio free reading room at lirHt des cribed horoiu is a glaring symbol of tno mtie, narrow, sunny uute of pnb lio spirit pervading Oregon Oity. Tlie metropolis aud business center of Olaokamas oounty sliould be tilled with opiumism and business euorgy aud bo foromost in uvory veutnre and enterprise for tho betterment aud dov elopment of oity aud oounty. Oregon Oity sliould havoat heart tho Interest of the entire Clackamas oounty, and a reading room . for all of Olaokinas oounty and Oregon City in particular as all enterprises in the oity should bo. Orogon Oity should be just as anxious and interested in Saudy and a good road from there to Portland as iu Molalla and a good road from there to Oregon City, if petty selfish feel ings me shown by Oregon City to ward these outlying precincts HI1011 Oregon Oity in turu is hound to reap the whirlwind of liko feelings against hor from these procinits. A ten cent fare from Oregon Oity to 1'orthuid means a lasting, permanent benellt to Clackamas eouut.y If it is in the powoi of Oregon Oity to give Cluck amas county this benefit the county will never have any coiilldeuce in the city unless it doliv rs this benefit to the county. Oiva tho county this benefit and let Oregon Citv i ay its debts to the county and the county will repay a thousand fold. We of ion lose sight of tho reflex damage or re Ilex benefit derived from conditions.. A ten cent fare to Portland as a reflex uenent to uregou jity opens the way lor uw,wv people to cume out our way and have the effect of iucreasiug proportv values while at the most if all of OlaoRamas county wont to Port mna it wouw D3 ouiy twenty-five or thirty thousand. Oak Grove wants five cent far to Portlaud, not so much to bring Oak Grove nearer Portland as to draw Portland nearer to Oak Grove. Orogon Oity must have the confidence of the county, state 'and nation if the county, gtute and na tiou are going to favor, foster and promote Oregon Oity. Oregon Oitv should'suggogt ways and means for the betterment and development of every product aud lead out in her ooufldence in the outlying posts aud iu turu these idaoos will rally to the support aud promotion of Orogon Oity aim full ooutldeuce uo porpetuatod. No hotter uor more profitable iuvest. uient could be made by Oregon Oity at tli iB opportune time than to launcl a movement for the erection and con structiou of a commodious city hall and tree reading room aud advertise went bureau oombiued. In this iusti tntion ample provision oould be made for apartments for the oity. Our present oity hall is a disgrace to town the size of Orogon Oity. Not even a safe for valuable papers. A building several stories iu height is necessary to meet the demands at the present and provide for future euior cncios. The eutiro lowor floor could easily be used for freo reading and li brurv and general information and advertising bureau, and the best cor nor of the heart of the city is none too expensive for the building. If the demand requires more than 1100,000 let tho dejiand be mot aud price be a secondary consideration. Let first thiugg be first. Let the quostio i of taxes bo foroed to the background, Taxes are not first and foremost to be stood iu the way liko a gcareorow to retard aud stagnato every enterprise and improvement of the city. Useful equipment must bo had. With noth ing to work with we do no work, with nothing with which to advertise we do not advertise, with nothing with whioh to display we have noth ing on display. Life holds first place. Energy, improvement. Present a UNABLE TO PROCURE UTAH LAND PLASTER!! Owing to a failure in the firm manufacturing this Land Plaster, we will be unable to procure any Utah Land Plaster until the forepart of April. We will have on hand a limited amount of Oregon Plaster at all times "which we will be glad to furnish at the lowest price possible. Parkplace Cash Store W. A HOLMES feasible plan to a inonoy brcker desir ed hy a city full of enterprise and businoss and tlio bonds of that city will not go begging. The man of in dustry and enterpnso in private life by that very condition alone has uo difficulty getting backiug from a banking institution, hut the lazy, be fuddloil, wiiniug, stingy, pessimistic suspicious, penurious, grasping, sel fish, miserly parasite with no confl. denoe in himself nor anyone else sel dom hori any credit nor does he de serve any. Oregon Oity is very much like the latter. When in all the his tory of Or. gou Oity was auy publio improvement undertaken without op position. The main Btreet of the oity was finally completed aud placed thore over the protest and strenuous opposition of the best, business men of the city. The completion of tho rail way from Oregon Oity to Portland was celebrated with wails and moans and Bobs and sighing. A tux levy of a few hundred thousand dollars would actually prostrate to lifeless corpses somo of the business men of Orecnn Oity, oven if it should bo shown thoni beyond all doubt that tho permanent benefit derived should ho overlasMmr and repay a thousaud fold for the in vestment. Not high tax for valu able improvements, for that requires too much faith and confidence iu our- solves and in those having charge of the handling of the tax money. The money might be squandered. The reading room might by some honk or crook not prove pioiltabo. Therefore the so-called safe, conservative, wise, profound and only judicial decision is, not.to levy a tax tor any improve ment and do without everything mul starve our little souls to death in or dorto exist. " There is that scattareth abroad aud yet iiioreaseth, and just ng truly there is that whioh withh'oldoth ana yet leiuioin to poverty." you noviu iiwuu n a uiij, tsuiug oauKrunt over improvement of streets, of it morals, or because of anything for its betterment. Such a proposition is absurd, tuigene never has prospered more than at the present time aud never made so many improvements and every citizen of that city fools proud that ho lives iu Kugono. If Oregon Oity had the confidence of Olackamas county, to say nothing of the rest of the state, and had any eoutidence iu herself, tho institution under discussion would simplv have to bo established. The crv nininst high taxes is not bocauso taxes are too high, but because nothing extra or unusual is in evidence to show and account for the extra and unusual tax. Not bo uiuoliltho number of mills u the dollar assessed agaiust us, but what for. There never was a crv gainst high tax if tho mouov was used for a worthy object. Kverv cent of tax money spent uuwisely is wrong ot course aud should be stopped, but ou the other hand every cent of tax money unwisely withheld and not spent is just as truly wrongand as far reaching in evil conseoueuee nrt should bo just as strenuously con demned. Carnegie believes in a road ing room and library aud will back it with the coin; but Oregou Oity will uot even ask for it. Considering this proposition from purely seltlsh view for the beuetit ot Orogon Oity alone there is an urgent demand for a free reading room. No less than two or three thousand people tread Maiu street every day aud such a room fitted up in such a way as to afford rest and recreation and lunch room for our farmers and country pat rons is almost a necessity. Also out of these two or throe thousand people eaohjday from livejor six o'clock to midnight the sixteen saloons of the city have at dull times fifteen or twenty patrons an hour, aggregating during the evening 1S00. A free readiugVoorn would have some effect upon this class of unfortunates who have uo other place in Oregon Oity to spend their evenings. And if Ore gon Oity should ever get confidence and 'backbone enough to tell these friends of widows and orphans to quit their nefarious business Oregon Oity would then be obliged to provide some such place. I believe any man who says Oregon City can't ron without saloon license is utterly devoid of any confidence in himself or his oity and does not deserve even the ordinary re spect of the humblest business man The law makes a" ordinary business niau deal honorably, decently, law fully. The law will not allow a busi ness man privately to hire a law breaker to make money for him. But Oregon Oity ha unlimited power to license law breakers and protect law breakers in order that the city may make a -living. I am off my Bubjeot aud am at a good, place to close, but so loug as the city as a matter of busi n ess canuot;get along without money derived from licensed crime it is pro postoroua to preach free reading rooms, beautiful oity, oity morals or anything else along the line of moral improvement aud expeot such an in stitution to have the support of the businoss men of the city. The a loon is an obnoxious parasite in the way of even-thing uplifting and ele vatiug. I charge them more than any otlnr element with closing the doors of the You u a Men's Christian Aasooi ation in this city. They are also more than auy other element the cause of the blasphemy and vulgarity disgrac ing the streets of Oregou Oity. They themselves curse a preaoheraud teach their patrons to ourse a preacher as quickly as a dog, aud when that ele- ineui in any city gets any cousiaera tiou no city can prosper in morals or charity or anything uplifting or ele vating.
