One of the Courier's force who
had a beautiful faith in Roose

the rash declaration Tuesday that
he would not sleep again until

the physiciafis of this county will
have a keen interest in this case,
to determine just how long a man
can live and work without sleep.

A long needed and thorough job

This is the most important street

On Ninth street, between Jef

It is a pleasing tfhange to one
who sees his first election in Ore
gon, the absence of log-rolling,
vote-buying and buttonholing on
the streets, or anywhere else. You
will hear plenty of politicians
condemn the corrupt practice
law as too tight and exacting, but
it is only the politicians. A law
to be of any force has got to be
tight, and certainly the Oregon
law is one splendid reform over
the eastern states way of doing
things on election day.
From the many pats on th
back the Courier was in right in
its comments' on having all our
public works done - by Portland
contractors; One' of the big rea
sons for Portland's great growth
and success is that when money
game to that city it has stayed
there. Every time we let a public
contract to Portland contractors
we take our tax money and send it
to Portland and it never comes
back. These outside contracts
are a drean on our city. Home
contractors should do these jobs,
the money should be paid out
here where it would do some good.
Only a short time until spring,
and .then we will see the most
prosperous season and the big
pest boom this historic old city
has ever seen. The government
canal will be started in good ear
nest then and will employ hun
dreds of men : the Willamette
Paper Co. will have its west, side
idilionof 150 houses under wav
the Moody Land Company will
start their west side improvement
plans; the Southern Pacific will
nave their main line work well
under way and then there will be
the usual steady growth of the ci
ty, the street improvements, etc.
There will surely be lively times
in the old town next year.
Tuesday noon a fellow came
down the Fourth street stairway
with a beautiful jag on, and he
was telling his companion how he
was going down "to put a plug in
that woman's nonsense, b gosh."
There was some consolation in
the prospect that he wasn't in
shape to know how he voted and
as lable to vote "no" on stock
running at large as against wo
man's suffrage. He bellowed and
blowed about the woman's place,
and made a conspicuous fool of
himself. After he had blowed
what money he had, told all who
would listen to him his opinion
on woman's voting, then probably
he went home and licked his
wife.

Well, the people of Oregon
showed they knew what to do with
a ballot if it was loaded down with
forty perplexing, misleading pro
positions, and the Oregon sysUwn

and held onto every inch of

handsome part of the city.
In the coming election of mayor
and city councilmen, voters want
to forget good fellowship and all
other friendship ties and elect the
man for his fitness for the work.
What our city council needs is
practical men for the various de
partmens, and not carpet walkers.
We need men who know street
building, sewer work, road con
struction practical fellows" with
practical educations, and men
who can size up a public job and
know when it is being done right.
Electjon is over, now let us get
together for Oregon City and
make a whale of it. A public free
elevator will do more to build up
a city on the heights than another-
big factory. While the big
bluffs are all right for tourists to
rave over, they are the dread of
workmen, mothers with baby car
riages and elderly people. The
Courier looks at this mailer just
as it does improved streets and
other improvements, where in
creased values more than offset
the expense. The day is coming
when a progressive people wiil
certainly overcome this stairway
obstacle, and it seems to the Cou
rier that it is better to do it now,
than after the west side and Glad
stone have grown at the city's ex
pense. Let s pull together and
land it. .

THE FIGHT AGAINST
THE MAPLE SCALE.
How Colorado Springs Combated These
TV.. Pests.
A department of forestry was creat
ed by the city of Colorado Springs Jan.
1, 1011, Unit some united action might
be taken ngulnst the cottony maple
scale which was Injuring so many of
the soft maple, locust and linden trees
of the city, Bays City Forester P. P.
McKqwo In the American City. At
that time thousands of the trees were
white with the cottouy, waxy secretion
formed by thin Insect, which seems to
thrive In our high, dry country and In
creases very rapidly. The present In
festation has been gaining a foothold
for the past ten years, and natural
enemies have done very little If any
thing; toward holding it In check.
A so called spraying district, con
taining 200 city blocks, was mapped
out, and arrangements were made for
spraying all Infested trees In this dis
trict three times, the city to pay for
the work outside the property lines
and the property owners to pay for
that Inside their lots. The principal
object of the first application was to
clean the trees of the old cotton so that
the living scale might be more easily
reached, while the second and third ap
plications were for the purpose of Irri
tating the soft bodies of the scales,
thus causing death.
Just a word as to the nature of tills
Insect will show how hard it Is to kill
It is a sucking mouth part insect and
continually has Its beak beneath' the
bark sucking sap. For this rensou a
poison like lead arsenate would have
very little effect upon It. Instead, It
must be killed by bodily irritants such
as kerosene emulslou. The kerosene
in this solution Irritates the body, and
the soap upon drying forms a U 1 lit
over the Insects' biealhlng pores which
radiate to all parts of their bodies.
Thus It will lie seen that killing this
Bcalu Is a slow process and ileuinuds
two or three applications.
The most Important parts of the op
eratlon are Hie thorough mixing of Hie
emulsion ho that the oil will not sep
arate from the water and applying I
with force. This city has a four horse
power gasoline engine, a good three
cylinder pump and a 2(H) gallon tank
mounted on a milistuntlal truck and
with this oiittit cau maintain a pres
sure of WKi pounds. By pouring the
kerosene Into the empty tank, starting
the engine and pump and then adding
the dissolved soap and boiling wa
ter the solution becomes thoroughly
agitated and emulsified and will not
separate.
Duping the spring of 1011 approxi
mately O.OOO trees were sprayed three
times each, and the success of the
work Is unquestioned. Now and then
one finds a scale which survived the
spraying and formed new cotton in
which to lay her eggs, but this was to
be expected, and In four or five years
this district may have to be sprayed
again thoroughly. Last spring we
treated a similar area In the same
way. No spraying will be (lone dur
ing the summer, t'.e best results In
spraying for the cottony maple scale
being obtained during the dormant pe
riod of tree growth from early fall to
late spring. iradually we will get
over the entire city, and then we hope
an occasional spraying will keep our
trees absolutely free from this Inju
rious and extremely unsightly insect

Clackamas Southern Kail way
Company (Issues Letter
To the People of Clackamas County : : . ." !
The Clackamas Southern Railway Company will be ready to begin laying the track
from Oregon City to-Beaver Creek, as soon as the rails arrive that have been ordered.
We desire to lay them down immediately, and ballast the track so that we can begin to
briug in logs and cord flood and make the roail pay from the very start. We have more
than 53,000.00 of stock subscribed that is unused, hut this we are unable to use except
for grading and bridges, under our contracts with our subscribers. .
It will require about $10,000.00 to lay the steel and ballast the road from Oregon
City to Beaver Creek, and in order to do that we must: sell this additional small amount
of stock. i ' 1 ' '
One business man in Oregon City has taken f 1000.00 of the above amount, and two
others Ifcive taken $300.00 each, and we believe this sum should be raised in a few days
time, as it is sold at $50.00 per share, with a par value of $100.00. This road is now a
success and we feel that Oregon City will help place this first six miles in active opera
tion. Your investment would be safe, and at the same time greatly aid Clackamas
County and Oregon City. ; t
You will not be called on to pay one dollar of the amount until the track is laid two
miles and rails are here for the full six miles. '
We are confident you will do your best and help this splendid enterprise, and at the
same time make a safe investment, by taking a portion of the amount to be raised.
The Company has about Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) of stock sub
scrilx'd in addition to the Fifty-Three Thousand- ($53,000.00) Dollars above mentioned
for grades and bridges which have not as yet been accepted by the company, but which
will be accepted when terms are agreed upon. -. ,
If you desire the immediate completion of this road to Beaver Creek which will
insure the remainder of the line in a few months time, we ask you to come forward and
and accomplish two things at one time: First, help.Oregon City and Clackamas County;
second, make a good-, safe, sane investmentthat will net you good returns.
If you are interested and desire to help the Board of Directors and the other stock
holders of this county, we ask you to sign the following stock subscription contract and
jnail it to tlie secretary, and wlien this first six miles of road has been completed you
will say to yourself, I am proud of assisting one of the greatest enterprises ever inaug
urated in Clackamas County and at the same time made a safe, sane and honorable
investment.

One day while the late Senator

man and yet had his fortune to make
be and a few companions were on a
prospecting tour. Along In tbe after
noon they sighted a band or Indians,
and as In those days all Indians were
hostile Mr. Hearst aud his friends nat
urally wanted to get away from there.
All the prospectors except the future
senator were mounted rtn horses. Mr.

Just then the mule scented the ap
