OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JAN 24 1913 5 A watch is intended to tell you the time of day. Unless it does this accurately, it is ' : worse than useless, for it is like the man you can not depend upon. Many a man has twenty-five or thirty dol lars tied up in a watgh, which is worthless, when, if he would invest a dollar or two for having it repaired, he would get the full val ue out of it. Often a watch which does not keep proper , time needs regulating, for which we make no charge. If it needs repairing our charges are more than 'reasonable. OUR WORK IS ' GUARANTEED.

The new commander of Meade Post, J. S. Hull, comes of fight ing stock, being a descendant of Captain Isaac Hull, the famous commander of the frigate Consti tution, during the war of 1812. When a young lad Hull enlisted in the 57th Pennsylvania infant ry, and his regiment was assign ed to duty under General Mc Clellan in West Virginia. When McClellan was made commander of the army of the Potomac in the fall of 1861, the 57th was ordered to Washington where it remained until spring, and it was then or dered to proceed to Yorktowri where McClelland was arranging for a campaign against Richmond the entire army of the Potomac having been transport' d to the vi cinity of Fortress Monroe by boats. Intense excitement prevail ed among the troops as active op erations were about to be resum ed. On the 9th of March, 1862, as the regiment lay off Hampton Roads, Commander Hull saw the little Monitor steaming up the bay preparatory to its attack on the Merrimac. The contest between the two iron clad boats was ter ribly exciting and the victory, of the Monitor dashed the hopes of the Confederates. When McClellan was ready for his forward movement toward Richmond, the 57lh was with the advance and it always held an ad vanced position in the many bat tles and skirmishes that took place previous to the great Seven days 'battle in front of Richmond At Malvern Hill Commander Hull was severely wounded and sent to the hospital but as soon as he re covered he was again at the front Later the 57th went with Mc Clellan to Washington, soon to participate in many more battles notably Antietam, Fredericks burg, Charlottsville and Ciettys burg. After his enlistment expired Mr. Hull returned home, only to enlist again soon jn .the 144th Ohio, where he served until the end of . the rebellion. Although one of the youngest men in!" the army, no better soldier ever went to the front. . . Commander Hull is almost painfully modest, seldom alluding to the many exciting scenes in which he participated. Prior to moving to Oregon Mr. Hull was for over thirteen years superin tendent of the car works of the late Tom L. Johnson of Cleve land, Ohio, and he carries with him a irold handled umcrella, a gift from the noted reformer Senior Vice-Comander of Meade Post, J. A. Roman, is also a na tive of Pennsylvania, and he marched over much of the same irround as did Commander Hull He first enlisted in the ceieDraiea Pennsylvania Bucktail Rifles, an organisation that" always took pains to let , the Johnnies know when they were in tneir imme diate vicinity. Later in the war Mr. Roman was an officer in the 203rd Pennsylvania Infantry, and he was with General Terry in the assault and capture of Fort Fish er. He camo to Oregon in 1890. F. M. A MOLALLA VIEW How a Correspondent Views Our City's Water Doings. Now' Oregon City may choose what she will filtered medicated sewer' water tanked up from the old filthy Willamette River with now and then 1,000,000 bunches of bacteria escaping the "drive," and maddened by the process, go seeking whom they may attack among the innocent users of Jhe hypocritical (pretending to be pure) water in a typhoid seige. Or Oregon City may come forth in her usual up-to-date-ness in oth er matters, and appropriate na ture's filtered product of pure water, which awaits abundantly close by, to quench the thirst of humanity. " The question has been asked: Why continue to use the old filter with all of its uncertainty and lia bility to contamination by an nexing a $1,000 medicated intake extension filter into the filthy sewer? The answer appears: Be cause somebody wants to continue on the old job in the old rut. On the night of January 17, 11 inches of snow fell here, clinging to everything it touched with a tenacious grip, and breaking down trees that no winter's wind had been able to do. Telephone wires are a mix-up to behold; much damage has been done also to fruit trees by breaking and uprooting; many roofs were load ed to full capacity, and just as it began to look as if the inevitable had set in, the most welcome Chi nook breeze licked the snow from the overburdened timber and the Beaver for the Molalla Valley smiled.

The Commercial Club estab lished a precodent at its election of officers Saturday night, when in one voice it re-elected B. T. McBain to again be engineer for 1913. This unanimous action was be cause McBain gets on the job and does things, and that is the kind of men, the Commercial club or any other organization needs at its head, and a club can only suo- ceed and do things with such men as managers as leaders, 'and sometimes drivers. ' Ilj's quite an honor to head this nig ciud or men, but mere is a lot of hard work goes with it, that is unless a man is simply after the honor. Mr. McBain is a tire less worker, always on the job, and with time for anything or ev erything that may start things or keep things going. The Southern Pacific s general freight agent, when here several months ago, in connection with terminal rates, said to one Of the committee: "That fellow is all wire."

Eby vice-president, Frank Busch treasurer and M. D. Latourette secretary. Latourette is . another worker and he makes .McBain a good team mate. At the drop of the hat he is always ready for anything that looks good and they say he will get on the -job quicker and stay longer than any man in the cily. And he has'that happy way of getting along with men with out friction he can oppose a man and not make him mad.
