QON CITY COU 29th YEAR. OREGON CITY, OREGON. FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 191 l.J ORE .i j k j 1 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, AIDER THAN COLUMBUS Election Officers Appointed.

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.

Portland Railway, Light & Powe Company MAIN OFFICE SEVENTH (2b ALDER. PORTLAND WE CIVE SERVICE WE CIVE SERVICE 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, Ambition and jealousy have been bred out oi film They live only in the to day just exist. They are farmers to the extent cf simply subsisting, When one has something to eat and the neighbor has not, the neighbor drops in and boards awhile. Thev farm much in common and ran their sheep together. Once a year, in De cember, they have a religious festival. 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. (Continued next week) i If 71 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 year after year here, but tied up by private use. The Willamette valley kicks beoanse the tails shuts it off from oheaner L 1 - . - ... rates, aua tne want oi a puDllo wharf aoes tne same ior our oltv. 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 ure ordinance last spring, but proba bly no person has ever thought of it since. We have an ordinance regulating me nme wooa snail De piled on ou streets, but it is more than a dead 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. xniB is Dusiness. and the Deonle w 11 uuu icarn mat a city law is some thing more than words. liBWB not enforced breed nnntnmnr for all ordinances, and make people nam iu govern. that every individual walking missionary for. should be a Wait and Hope. The looks proposition is now un to the seoretarv of war. and what the outcome will be is pare guesswork. Home are of the opinion that the secretary will turn down the whole bundle of excessive rights ot way and order condemnation proceedings, while others think the excessive val ues will kill the whole matter aud that free looks at the falls will be nothing more than bad dreams. With the submission of the matter to Secretary of War Stimson, is in cluded the reports nf Major Molndoe and the findings of the engineers, Jand no doubt these Will have muoh to do with the government's action. NEEDED. 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 nored, except in oases where some in dividual has a personal spite and makes complaint against his neigh bor aud forces enforcement, 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 ed, aud if there Is a demand why are 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 ging in public places or at residences, but every week the business men turn them down in dozens. We have an ordinance against"! ast auto driving, bat they tear down our streets at four times the speed allowed. We have bonfire restrictions, but ery day in the week they are vio lated in the residence sections. We have air gun restrictions, but kids in knee pants carry .23 rifles nd shoot them about the streets. We passed a fall weight, fall meas- 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 auowi is mat we have land that will 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 vard, and that he can't buy it for 15 oents an aore.

Nov. i 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 that will open the eyes of Clackamas oounty people. 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.
