EVER BROKE AND
HUNGRY
v
Ever Know the Down-and
Out Feeling?
IF YOU HAVEN'T, YOU SHOULD
Read this Little Sermon and see
How the Next Tramp Fares.
Whan a tramo comes to your kitch
en door and tells yon lie i hungry,
what do yon tell lnm?
The most of yon tell him to drag it,
that yoa aren't running an aid soci
ety for abb-bodied men.
Bat it always 'strikes me that an
able-bodied man gets jast as hungry
(and perhaps a little more so) than
some sickly-looking fellow, just oat
of a hospital.
I know the stock arguments against
feeding men strong enough to be
piano movers or timber cutters.
You say such men have no business
begging ; that they oould get work if
they would take it and hunt it, and
that they are hobos or drunkards or
they wouldn't be hitting back doors for
hand-outs.
Say what you will and argue as yoa
may against these fellows, I know
that they feel the pangs of hanger
jast as keenly as a strii tly moral man,
and I know that no hobo is going to
oomtt to your back door and touoh yoa
foi the eats unless he is hungry and
I don't give a darn for the why or
wherefore of that hunger..
1 never refused a hungry man
hand-out if the house had it, and 1
never passed a oripple without a tip
ii l had a dime or a quarter that
wasn't working.
That wise old 'bo may go out and
put a chalk mark on yoor gate, and
he may eat his lunch and oall yon
easy picking.
That oripple may take your two-
bits, buy a half pint of barrel house
booze and have a "glorious (hie) good
time at night
The dollar you tip into the Sundav
morning plate for "foreign missions"
may look like an old-fashioned three
cent piece when it reuders "enlight
enment" to some liruuette over in
Atrioa.
Bat that isn't thepoij-t.
If you had to trace oat jast where
your silver offering was going to
bring up, or had t) look no the life
history of the Weary Willie before
yoa gav him a slice of bread, a 6en
tary plant would blossom before you
got to it.
Whan a man is hungry he can't
wait for you to investigate the
reasons that lead up to his pangs
He's got to have something to ohew
on or he is going to suffer and when
he gets to suffering he's going to
B ake or break nature's first law.
They say there is a big book where-
In is kept a ledger acoonnt of all a
man's receipts and expenditures and
where MOTIVES count bigger than
the coin.
They Bay that when a fellow opens
his heart and hands out a cripple a
quarter and a tramp a sandwich these
acts are recorded as credit memoran
dums against the sight drafts that
oorue in.
But whether this is so or isn't so,
whether yoa get credit at the great
central banp ol the Hereafter, or
whether the transaction is never re
corded, you get your full reward
when you watch a hungry man pot
away a pieoe of bread or meat. You
feel bettor, vou are better, aud you
are more a man.
When the next cripple holds up his
few pittiful little wares from the
sidewalk, dOH't quarrel with your
dime or examine his pencil or shoe
laoes to see if yoa are setting yonr
money's worth, and don't ask him to
make affidavit as to how he -will
spend the silver. Give it to him,
don't take his penoil, and if you don't
feel more than ten cents' wortii more
a man, come into the Courier offloe
and get your money back.
When the next back door pilgrim
says "Please, lady, will you give me
a small bile to eat?" dou't ask him to
give yon his family history and tell
you all about How It Happened, hut
give him something that will stay by
his ribs, give him a kind word and a
smile.
Do these and there is a lot of yoa
won't have to worry about when you
join the Long Time Dead, and at
night when you tack the bed covers
ander your chin and get squared
away for eight hours of death's
cousin, sleep, I'll bet nuggets against
marbles you will ie 1 better and
won't be half as liable to nightmare,

LONG BEFORE THE CONQUEST1
Courier Editor's Visit to Wierd
and Unknown Mud City.
I was getting ready to take some
pictures of Zuni, when the typesetter
stopped me last week, but the Indians
had already stooped me. , As before
stated they hate a camera and a Mex
ican with the old-time hatred. They
hate the Mexican because to them he
is a Spaniard, and to the Spaniard
they attribute all the trouble and re
straint ever laid on them, and they
hate him for the religion he tried to
found there. Being sun worshippers
the Zunis have little time for church
es and the white man's roads to Zion.
They see God in the sunshine and
hear him in the winds, and they don't
want any onurones, crosses and fancy
aoings.
But to get back to the oamera and
the interesting time I had trying to
get Lo to be good, lift the chin a lit
tle and look oleisant.
Their foot and horse races were out
side the tillage and there I got a fair
ly good photograph, and none of the
Indians made any objection, but the
interior .view, showing the burial
ground and the abandoned mission, '1
had difficulty in getting and only one
of a dozen exposures was good. It
was mid-afteruoon when T"tried. The
driver went with me. 'Finding a
good view I got ont the camera, bat
before I could foous it a dozen squaws
and Indians crowded in front, gestic
ulating and threatening. I1, won Id
change my position and try it again,
but they would get direotly in front
ot the camera. If I had not been told
that these fellows bad not enough
courage to harm a white, man, I
wonld not have had sand euonah to
stay on the job, for their piercing
uiacK eyes ana exoitea sestares made
the venture look like a bad risk.
I gave up the attempt, put the cam
era in my pooket, and just as we left
I slipped it to the driver, who took a
hurried ohanoe shot which is fairly
good. Climbing on top of the dobie
wall that euclnses the burial ground I
auappea me camera six times in an
endeavor to get a view of the hun
dreds of skulls, arm bones, jaw bones
legs and ribs that lay on top and pro
iruuoa irom the ground, but the In
dians would jimp the dobie wall like
squirrels and shut off the camera
But outside the village, where the
aged Indians sun themselves along the
river nanks, l had no trouble in get
ting individual views, for these old
fellows readily posed for me when
offered them smoking tobaoco, apples,
eiu.
Hundreds of years ago, when the
Spanish soldiers found Zuni, they toie

of the village and ereoted for the In
dians a church, an exact counterpart I
of the famous San Miguel mission in
feanta ie, and enolosed a burial
ground adjoining it. The Zunis, be
ing sun-worshippers, did not take to
the Catholic faith, and as soon as the
soldiers left they butohered the mis
sionaries and abandoned the churoli
Time and again the Spaniards en
deavored to establish their religion
there and convert the Indians, but the
trader told me the missionaries did
not hold out, and the attempt was
finally abandoned.
The old church, dismantled, stands
today. Its dobie walls are four feet
thick, and the handsome hand carv
ings on the old beams inside are as
beautiful as the day the work was
done. '
But the bnria ground let me tell
you. something gruesome. Itf is one
Hundred feet Bquare and for nearlv
four hundred years every dead Zuni
has been buried there, until now
there is literally more bones than
earth. When an Indian dies a shal
low grave is scooped out on top of
the other graves, the body is dumped
in, and then the thickest of the scat
tered bones of the previous dead
kioked on top of the! new cornse.
Then to add to the horror, the village
hogs bad rooted a hole thronsh the
dobie wall, got inside and did a mis
oellaneous and very careless Job of ex
burning, and everywhere human boues
protruded. Nearthe dobie wall was
a spit nd id skall sp oinien of some
old, forgotten warrior, that I yearned
for. The blowing sand tor many
years had given it a beautiful polish
and it glistened in the sun. But the
Indians were suspicious and there
was no chanoe. I told the driver I
would give him five dollars if he
would help me get it when darkness
came. But darkness did not come.
The night was full moon. We re
mained in the village until nearlv
midnight, but the Indians' dogged our
steps, and around the burial ground
wall a hundred or more stood for
hoars. They don't want their dead
bones disturbed by white men hoes
are a different proposition.
me village is built almost to the
water's edge of the Zuni river, and
running back up the bluff. The
stream is bo nearly dry that there is
barely a current. All the sewage
from the village and the seepage
from the burial ground runs down
the banks to this sluggish stream,
and the villagers scoop it up and
drink it. A white man would not
last thirty days under these condi
tions, but the iBdiacs are immune.
I found one place, and one ouly,
where the Zunis excel 1 they are
marvelous foot runaerlf, and have
wonderful endurance. Many of these
Indians win meraiiy tiri out, run
down and oapture a wild oolt, by
Keeping iiim away iroro water and
continually chasing him lor twenty
iour to iony-eigiu nonrs. l saw
young Brrappiing win a root race
across an unheaven prairie, a di
tanoe of fifteen miles, in one hour and
twenty-eight minutes. Bat taken
away from their village they do not
mane good. Different conditions,
different food and their inherited lack
of sand make them easy losers in the
white man's game.
Hut the Zunis are game snorts at
home, One of their sport day events
was a horse race, five miles under the
whip, no saddles or stirrups and abso
lutely naked jockeys. For hours be
fore the event the Indians oongregat
ed unt on the prairie, where betting
was iast ana iurious. xney wagered
their earrings, bracelets, rings, belts
blankets, necklaces, saddles and bri
dies. The oonrse was two and a h alf
miles out and back, aoross the prairie,
ana wnen tne ponies finished their
sides dripped with blood, where the
cruel quirts of the jockeys had out
open their skin.
As a Socialistic community Zuni
suited too well. Thev have a loose
form of marriage, which is little less
than a license to practice polygamy.
After marriage an Indian takes any
squaw that looks good to him, aud the
one robbed doesn't obieot or care,

when Indians from the different tribes
all over the southwest come to Zuni
and where a feaBt and celebration
lasts for many days.
une oi tne most curious freaks of
degeneracy that I saw in this strange
community was tne ,quaw men,
and I could find no explanation other
than the one excuse for everything
extraordinary in tins weira village
intermarriage. I was in the trading
store one nignt. it was packed with
Indians but the squaws seldom leave
their village after Bunset. I notioed
one squaw among tne men, and so
unusual was the sight that I spoke to
the trader regarding it. And he told
me that the squaw was a man. He
told me that there were four of these
'squaw men" in the village, that
they dressed as women, did the menial
work allotted to the sanaws and as,
sooiated entirely with the squaws,
ne asxea me to watch the squaw
when she left the store, and to stand
near the door and make a quick move
meotZwhen she went out. When she.
or rather he, got near tb 3 door I made
a sadden movement with my hand to
my pocket. The squaw man lumped
back with a look of horror and frisht
on his face, and then when he saw me
take out my handkerchief he lanirhed
auu went out. mere was simply no
explanation to be had of this strange
character, xne trader said he had
lived there for fifteen years and ooald
find no reason why these few men
changed to women.
Just outside the village is a stone
pyramid that to the Zunis marks the
center of the earth, and here early
every morning the si ago, secret cer
emonies of the Bun-worshippers are
performed. An Indian will walk ont
and stind silent as a statue for ner-
haps a half hour, and then throw
open bis blanket, take out a parcel of
the sacred corn meal and sprinkle it
around. Then be will go through the
various forms of the daily servioe and
conclude by walking so many paces,
to the four points, after which the
sun will rise and st regularly for
another twenty-four hours. Aud
should he through any cause neglect
this regulation the sun would refuse
to work and dire calamities woold
follow.

IRK THIS OUT?
Why Doesn't the City Take
More Interest?
THIS ISN'T A PRIVATE BENEFIT
County and City Should Both
Work for Public Docks.
A Portland business man was in the
Courier office Tuesday and he made
the statement that if Oregon City
would provide the means of oheap
transportation Decneeu here and fort
land it could greatly add to the
growth of this oity; that the high
rents of Portland was foroiug the
salaried men to the suburbs, and- that
they would oome here, and that our
city oould also be made an outing
place for Portland's people and a pop
alar Sunday resort.
A farmer from Molalla told the
Courier editor that if Oregon Oity
would provide cheap transportation
for farm products to Portland, this
city might be made the shipping point
tor tne most oi uiackamas county,
ann tne central point oi the county.
The business men of the city and
the Live Wires have before them a
proposition to establish an indenan-
aeuc DOac lino Between here and Port'
land a proposition that will larcelv
reduce freight and express oharaes
ana a proposition to cut passenger
rates more tnan nair.
Business men have made a thorough
canvass of the oity and the sentiment
is almost unanimous to take no the
offer of Uaptain Hembree and en
deavor to have cheaper passenger and
freight rates between here and Port
land. BUT they ran up against a snag
when they get down to details.
We have no wharf, no publio place
for competing boats to do business.
At the foot of Twelfth street nature
made a wharf for the city and left it
there tor the fishes.
Major Mclndoe says it is the finest
natural wharf on the Willamette for
the fishes.
It doesn't need any blasting or
dredging. It simply needs using. A
public piled driveway from this dook
to Thirteenth street, about half a
block, can be built on an easy grade,
along the sand bar baok ' of Busoh'u
store.
Men who have figured on the work
say the wholis business, wharf and all,
unu oe uone tor fzauu.
Why don't we do it?
They say tne people generally do
not warm op to tins proposition.
Why?
Isn't a publio dock as much benefit
as oiled streets, rest rooms and park
improvements:
u a matter tike this for the oity's
gooa isu i a city s matter, whose
matter is it?
If Oregon Oity once provides a pub
ho wharf, it provides for cheaper
transportation.
We have the great river running

private use.

This is a .matter that the neonle
should not ron away from, bat should
go to. we are not nnder any obliga
tions to the Southern Pacifio railroad
to help hold up a high rate. If ever a
matter was one for a city to take no
an open uock is mat one.
If the Live Wires will stay with
this matter, it is bound to come. It
is a matter that both the oity and the
county should pull together on, help
equally in thee cost, and a matter

bly no person has ever thought of it
since.
We have an ordinance regulating

one.
We havu a prohibition against spit
tmg in publio places and on side
walks, but it never took life.
We have ordinances regulating the
care of Btreet curbs and weeds in front
or residences, but of no more effect
tnan the one against profanity.
And so on, we oould string them
ont a rod yet.
The point is go slow with ordi
nances, make them as easy as possible
for the good of the citv. and then hap
that they are literally enforced.

City
Less Ordinances for our
and More Enforcement.
It's very easy to make laws, and
every town or city generally finds its
charter loaded down with a string of
ordinances whose enforcement is ig

makes complaint against his neigh

What is the good of dragging in a
lot of ordinances that are never en
forced?
If they are not to be enforced of
what use are they? If there is not a
demand for them why are lie v enact

tney not enforced?
Tins city is like many others in this
matter, We have any number of oity
ordinances that are simply dead .ones
half or the whole time.
We have a prohibition against beg

but every week the business men turn

We have an ordinance against"! ast

DON'T PAINT SUNSETS
Tell the People the Real Truth
about the Oregon Country.
The idea of the Oommeroial Olub to
go into the newspaper business to ad
vertise Clackamas oonotv is a onnri
soheme, a splendid scheme with an
IF.
The "if" is if the paper takes hold
of the matter as it should be handled
and gives the poeple ot the east the
straight of matters.
Leading an easterner to believe that
he oan buy fat Olaokamas county
laud, located by a macadamized road
side at 20 an acre, isn't the way to
get settlers.
It's the way to get knookers.
What we wantto let the easterners

raise almost anything that grows and
raiBB more of it and grow it bigger
than any place in tin nuion, bat give
that man to understand he won't hn
able to find it in the shadow of the
court house or ou an automobile boule

oents an aore.

the job of making this the greatest

ana aDove ail the play to push is
to get conocrns that will make n
market for the farm produots, to get
creameries and cauneries to build.
Do this, and you won't have to ad

To the oitizens of Oregon Oity :
Feeling it my duty to extend mv an.
preolation to the oitizens, who have
bo numerously signed the petition
asking that my name be placed on the
Daiiot ior mayor, at the oity election
to be held Monday, December 4, 19J1,
I wish to extend my heartfelt thauns
ior the high esteem in whioh my ser-
ykibb as cnairman or tne nuance oom-
uiittee are held.
After oareful consideration. I ra
speotfully accept the nomination, and
if elected, my aim shall be to execute
an city anairs imnartiallv and nn
faithfully and ooneoientionsly as my
auiniy win aiiow.
WILLIAM ANDRESSN,
The above letter is in resnnnse
the petition that was presented
Mr. Andresen last Thursday, a peti
tion signed by over half the voters of
the oity, asking him to aooent the
nomination for president of the oity
ior tne coming year,
Of Mr, Andresen's election there is
no (lonbt, andjtie will probapbly have
a dear held and be the unanimous
eleotion of the city.
The old order of lining up and
scrapping for party places in munloi-
pal elections has passed. The people
ao not care wnat the politics of the
man is, the quality isnow the consid
eration. Men vote for the man, not
his manger.
Mr. Andresen stands high with thy
voters of the oity. They believe in
his dead honesty and have had woof
of his abiilty. When a man has
served for six yean on a oity council
and then has half the citizens petition
him to accept a higher ollice, it is a
splendid compliment to him, and a
mighty Btrong expression of how the
voters believe in him.
For the connoil there bids fair to
be several candidates in the different
wards, and regardless of politics the
men being talked of are all good men
for the places. In fact many voters
do not know or ask to whioh party
the men belong, and they do not care.
What Oregon Oity wants to keen J
constantly in sight n the fact that
this is not the oity it was ten years
go. We are progressing, growing
and will oontinue to.
We want men in the city council
who can look, at our city as it is and
meet tho progression. We want men
with level heads, who will not let the
offlceri run away with the oity, nor
bar progress with too muoh conserva
tism. It wants cool judgment of men
of braius, and those are the quality of
men to elect next mouth to work with
the new mayor.
Pick out good men, honest men,
pnrtriotio men, and out out politics.
We have some important matters to
face the coming year and we want
level-headed thinker on the uounoil.
They Have Full Faith in
Ogle Mine Richness.
THEY Wll INVEST $100,000.
Stock Jumps to Par and Stock
Sales will Now Come Easy.
IOs a pretty well assured fact now
that Clackamas oounty will reap the
benefits of whafis destined to be one
of her greatest industries, something
entirely now and novel for this part
of the West, that is, a great gold mine
with smelter operation, and this in a
not very far distant future, as the
question was pretty well outlined at
the meeting of the stockholders of the
Ogle Mountain Mining Company,
which was held 'last Monday in this
city.
The Oourierrhas from time to time
had considerable to say about this
mining operation whioh has been un
der the management and diieotion of
the Fairolough boys, who have work
ed wilth untiring effort to make the
mine what it now is, and whom the
stockholders Tuesday told to go ahead
witn tne great Bmelting plant.
The people of Oregon Citv and
Clackamas county hardly realized the
immensity of this great deposit of rich
mineral and many have tabooed the
proposition from start to finish, but
now that results are praotioally in
sight and the great work of making
it pay out well on its way, it begins
to dawn on them that there is more to
it than they ever dreamed of.
It is now the intention of the com
pany to begin work at oiioe to con
struct power plants and ereot a smelt
er to take oare of the great bodies of
ore and it is hoped to see the first pay
dirt run through before twelve months
have passed.
The oompany have ample water
power and endless leads of very rion
ore, whioh will now pay handsomely,
and further, as ib well known in min
ing oircles, the grade of ore is such
that there is every reason to believe it
will oontinue to grow richer, in the
yellow metal, as the drill penetrates
deeper Into the bowels of the earth.
It developed at the meeting Monday
that an opportunity would be given
Olaokamas oounty people to subscribe
for stook at par, instead of disposing
ot the same to outside people, who
have expressed a desire to put money
into the industry. It is the intention
of the company to put in a plant that
will oost approximately one hundred
thousand dollars. The latest im
proved maolunery will be installed
aud there is some suggestion that the
electrio process will be used.
By a unanimouB vote at the meeting
Monday the same gentlemen were
elected as board of directors that
served last year, together with the
officers, who are as follows : Presi- .
dent and general manager, J. B. Fair
olough ; vice president. Joseph Uar
less ; secretary and treasurer, W. J.
Wilson ; the other gentlemen ou the
board are John Soott, Sol B. Walker,
T, B. Fairolough. There were sixty-
three stockholders present and it was
a very enthusiastic meeting, the work
of the year was well outlined by Man
ager Falroloagh from oharts showing
the extent of the work and the im
mense ore bodies. There wa b an ap.
parent eagerness of the stockholders to
secure more stock and it was the
unanimous deciaion to all pull to
gether for something the coming year

Prove This, It's Worth It.
If a business man woold give the
matter of bringing customers into his
store one-fourth the attention that he
gives the customer when he ia in the
store, he would have a lot more cus
tomers to wait on.
Any business oan be inoreased if a
business head will give that end of it
anywhere near the attention he does
the customer in his store.
Any big business oan be made big
ger and a 7 little business made big
it the head of it will consider that
avertising is of just aa much impor
tance to the business as having a
olerk who knows his business, or of
having the goods and the prices that
people want.
But throwing together a handful of
words at the last uiinuto, and expeot
ing the printer to make of it an ad
that will foroe a run on the store the
next day, isn't sense or business.
It a merchant will get right down
to business and make advertising an
important part of his business tor
three months: if he will give the ad
vertising good heavy thought and
careful attention he can prove to him
self that it will pay a bigger invest
ment tliau like attention to any other
uetau 01 nis ouuneBs.
Try out the proposition, and Drove
it. If it is what we state vou want
it, if not you can afford to find it out.
