OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY APRIL 2, 1914.
LOTS OF WATER AT
COUNCIL MEETING
(Continued fiom Page 1)
reason why Oregon City should noc
bave such an asset too. Bull Run
hater has made Portland famous
practically throughout the world
If Orern City gets as good water
it will "redound in the same way to
our credit and fame, and people will
hear of us an an enterprising city
that looks after itself. Gentlemen,
we ought to own our own pipe line
and manage it as a municipal ven
ture. We ought to go further, we
ought to have our own lighting plant.
Gentlemen, if Oregon City had its
just dues, we would be utilizing our
own power that the city owns in the
falls of the Willamette, and I ven
ture tn sav that if we did have this
water power that today Oregon City
people would not have to pay a cent
in taxes, for we could pay all our
city expenses out of the revenues
to be derived from this power. But
as it is outside corporations have got
it all."
Suggestions made by some of the
councilmen that the matter of shar
ing the pipe line with West Linn be
placed upon the ballot for the peo
ple to decide were not adopted, it
appearing to be the general feeling
that it would be a mistake to tangle
the bond issue election with other
matters. Further discussion of the
subject will be taken up when the
council hears the report on the con
ference with West Linn.
Freight Permit Given
Application of the Crown Colum
bia Paper company to have the coun
cil grant a permit to the Portland
Railway, jLigfht & Power company
to operate an extra freight train be
tween the hours of eleven in the
morning and one in the afternoon,
so that the mill could accumulate
enough logs to keep running until
low water was the first thing taken
up by the council. Mr. Herrin, of
the paper company, said that if the
logs were not brought in the local
mill would have to shut down within
ten days, throwing many men out of
work.
The Hawlcy company asked to be
allowed to take advantage of this
train as well, and after some discuss
ion a revocable permit was granted
for a 12-car daily train for the next
40 days. Councilman Metzner mov
ed that the permit be granted "iilhe
interests of local industry.
Application to chanc-e the side
walk on High Btreet in front of the
Chase and Shaw properties, placing
the parking strip next the property
line, was referred again to the street
committee and city attorney for
consideration, and will be taken up
at the next meeting of the council.
A petition for an arc liirht at E
eventh and Center streets was sent
to the street committee.
Sewer Bids Ordered
Water again became a subject for
debate when City Engineer Noble
submitted estimates for the extension
of the Seventh street sewer between
J. Q. Adams and Taylor streets. The
estimate for a sewer six feet be
neath the street, with a long lateral
to drain low property adjacent, was
placed at $3,514.
Property owners in the district ef
fected presented a remonstrance, de
claring that they were already sat-
isfactorily served by a sewer, for
which they had paid.
The new extension is a part of the
Dieck plan for Sewer District 10,
and is designed among other things
to care for surface drainage and to
carry off a portion of the water that
gathers along Molalla avenue when
ever it rains. Councilman Van Au
ken opposed the sewer, saying that
it would not drain this water unless
the "water would run up hill." City
Engineer Noble invited Mr. Van Au
ken to go to his office and look at
profiles of the district, and Mr. Vun-
Auken said:
"I don't care for your grades on
your paper, I figure by looking at
the land itself."
Councilman Tooze moved that the
matter be left over till a later meet
ing, but was voted down, whereupon
Councilman Albright moved that bids
be advertised for, and tho motion
carried.
Ordinances establishing tho grade
of E. and Oak streets, from Fourth
street to the county road, in Fulla
,view addition, were ordered prepar
ed. An estimate for a minimum
street improvement hero was given
as $2,680.95.
Tangle Over Street
C. T. Tooze appeared before the
council to ask that Sixteenth struct
be opened but not improved butwccii
Washington and Center streets. He
said that the railroad company de
sired to move certain buildings from
block 13, and that possibly ho would
also want to move a building. Tins
matter had been before the street
committee for two weeks, and Mr.
Templeton, chairman of that com
mittee" hud opposed it. Mr , Tooze
and Mr. Templeton contradicted each
other frequently in an interchange of
ideas on the subject, and before ac
tion wus taken in the mutter Mr.
Tooze left the council chamber.
A vote was then called, und three
councilmen voted to open the street
and three opposed the plan. Mayor
Jones ordered a roll call, und Coun
cilmen Andrews, Long, Meyer, Tooze
and Albright voted to open tho street
while Metzner, Templeton and Van
Auken opposed it. The street was
ordered opened provided C .T. Toozo
would agree to havo it left in the
same condition it is ut present when
the use of it to move buildings was
completed.
An ordinance appropriating $2,000
to oil city streets was passed first
reading and will come up for final
passage April 8. Similar progress
was made on an appropriation of
$200 for the platting of an extension
of Mountain View cemetery, and one
setting aside $300 for the purchase
and installation of a public scales.
An ordinance establishing the grade
of Fifteenth street between Jackson
and Madison streets will also come
up for final passage on April 8.
Cigarettes are Hit
The first step in a municipal war
on cigarettes was takon when an or
dinance regulating we siile ot tobac
co, cigars and cigarettes was given
first reading. It bans the sale of
cigarettes to persons under 21 years
of age. except upon written consent
of their parents or guardians, and
provides a penalty of a $50 fine ami
a jail sentence of 25 days, or both,
for violations. Under the terms of
the ordinance any minor smoking or
having in his possession cigarettes is
liable to a fine of $10 and a jail sen
tence of five days, or both. It will
be up for final passage April 8.
The bond of Moffalt and Parker
for the contract work on the Seventh
street culvert was approved. They
bid $489 for the job and were the
lowest bidders.
Application of the local rural mall
carriers to construct a frame shelter
shed for their horses in the rear of
the new post office which is with
in the fire limits was postponed un
til a later meeting.
WHAT COULD BE DONE
Water System Could be Built for
One Half if People Would
While the question in regard to
city water has been up for discus
sion for a long time I paid little at
tention to it until the saloons closed.
True expert reports had it that the
water contained billions of microbes,
and expert reports, like proverbs,
run in pairs. As long as saloons were
open there was no use of a cautious
man taking chances. .
To build or not to build seems to
be a question which calls for another
one, to bond or not to bond. Not long
ago Myers suggested a plan to avoid
interest bearing bonds, which the
editor classed as a dream.
While I live out in the uncut I
contend I must help pay for that
water, so I will also suggest a plan
whereby the interest bearing debt,
bondage, if not entirely avoided,
may be reduced to no more than so
much money as will be required for
material purchased from the outside.
Let the council meet with the busi
ness men of the city and form an
agreement for the issuance of non
interest bearing warrants or scrip
in various denominations from one to
ten dollars, which the city will ac
cent at Dar for taxes, the merchants
aoreinir to accept the same for
merchandise at par. This will pay
for all the labor to do the work with
out the outlay of a dollar legal ten
der. Just what proportion that will
be to the total cost I do not know,
but it seems it would be more than
half.
Now if a laborer can pay for all
his necessities of life with these
warrants that is all he can get with
legal tender. Again it will be re
membered that during the panic of
1907 a great deal of business was
carried on by clearing house certifi
cates, in fact it was for sometime
the only solution, for these certifi
cates had no lawful standing except
as consent of business conveniences.
It must not be forgotten that nation
al bank notes are not legal tender,
yet are never rejected.
It seems to me the citizen in gen
eral is interested in keeping down
taxes, if interest bearing bnods are
voted all must help pay for them, so
why not seek a simple plan to accom
plish that end? Certainly if such
wanants are issued and. will be re
ceived by the mei chants the earnings
must stay in Oregon City, and so
long as the city will receive them
they will pass for currency, in fact I
see no reason why such paper should
not be popular. The writer saw a
case where the "trade dollar" passed
at par in a city while at all other
places it passed for .85 and 90 cents.
Tho same is true of bank checks: I
havo seen them pass back and forth
ever so often without ever reaching
the bank, often being taken up by
tho signer without ever leaving camp
after circulating for a month, or
more. Money is in itself nothing but
a commonly accepted cretin cenui
cate. So much for a near' solution under
the present credit system. Now for
a word in regard to future innova
tions. The federal government is
the only money issuing power. Let
this power furnish the public credit,
otherwise called money, to all pub
lic subdivisions having administra
tive powers, free. That is to say,
let. the federal government furnish
any state, county, incorporated city
or school district money to carry on
the improvements at the actual cost
of issuing and administering the
loan. Is it not an absurdity for the
public to borrow from an individual?
Such condition would not obtain but
for the reason that individuals have
nower over mimic otriciais, or to
state it differently, that public offic
ials use their position to serve pri
vate ends; devote more time to a
part of the people than to all the
people mill IS, uetruy tiicit num..

Why Won't You Come A-Visitin?
If life seems scarce worth livin'
And the citv makes you sick,
Why don't you come a-visitin'
Out here at lieaver ureen i
You'll want to meet the neighbors,
With their friendly, kindly ways,
And when it's Sunday go to church-
Join in the prayer and praise.
If you speak Welch or German,
As so many people do,
You'll find a Welch or German
church
And hear good preaching too.
Or come to English Sunday School.
There's always room or more.
You'll find it at the cross roads
Just over Jones es store.
You'll like the hearty singing.
An the happy faces see,
An' hoar the organ pealing,
That we borrowed from "John D."
You weary heart will gladden,
As you' listen once again.
To the old, old story of the Cross
An' what it's done for men.
Why don't you come a-visitin
Out here at Beaver Creek?
Where skies are blue an' fields are
greens,
An' posies are so thick.
The buds are all a-bustin'
Into blossoms on the trees,
An' the little birds are singin'
To the hummin' of the bees.
The field of kale that's blossomin'
Is like a sen of gold.
(We've been flilin' up on kale greens
Before they got too old.)
We've got the garden started;
Planted lettuce, pens an' beans.
I hope the beets will come up thick
So we can have beet greens!
The breeze is blowin' glad an free;
The calves are skippin' 'round;
The hens are huntin' angle worms
lUpon the fiesh-plowed ground.
So if your liver's out o' sorts;
If heart an' brain are sick;
V.'hv don't you come a-vlsitin
Out here at Beaver Creek?

DISAGREES WITH OLDS
North Dakota Writer Says his "Dry"
Arguments Leak
Editor Courier:
1 would like to tell Mr. E. D. Olds
a few things. It is true that North
Dakota passed a prohibition law in
1886, and it has never been repeal
ed. Why? Because there was a
joker in it, and it had to go through
the legislature before it came to the
vote of the common people If the
common people had voted on it
North Dakota would have kicked pro
hibition out long ago. As it is now
it is a graft for the lawyers, the
railroads, and worst of all, the pol
iticians, and as a consequence the.,!
country is full of blind pigs and
other illegal drinking dumps, and the
courts are full of liquor cases. Now
Mr. Olds lived long enough in North
Dakota' and he knows the true con
dition as well as the present resident
does, but who is powerless to act.
If the liquor question could come
to a vote of the people it would be
carried by a big majority. But now
that is impossible on account of so
much graft in office. So I do not
think Mr. Olds knows just what he
is talking about. There is far more
liquor shipped into this state than if
it is open to the liquor traffic. I am
not a booze fighter, but I like to see
the truth in print.
In regard to the dry law in Kan
sas, I will say that I was there in
the summer of 1905, and saw sal
oons run in defiance of the law, while
in Missouri, a license state, has the
best laws of any state on this ques
tion. In Kansas City. Missouri, on Sun
day every saloon and bar was closed
and no back door trade, no drunk
ards on the street, while in Kansas
City, Kansas, saloons were, running
wide open, drunkards and disorder
all around. Now this doesn't apply

Another point of which 1 think Mr.
Olds does not know what he is talk
ing about is when it comes to women
voting. Look at Colorado end Cali
fornia. Why are not they prohibition
states? Years before our great civil
war liquor was sold in groceries just
the same as sugar or tea and the
price in Wisconsin in the bite for
ties and early fifties was 25c a gal
lon, and that was liquor, pure liquor,
and to get drunk in those days was
far more of a disgrace than at the
present time. It was too cheap to
adulterate.
After the war with high revenues
the high prices raised and quality
went down faster than the price
raised. It is a case of take a thing
away from a child o put it out of
his reach, and then he wants and will
trv every means at hand to obtain it.
"'I claim that prohibition does not
stop the liquor traffic. The best
way as I see it is to have a high li
cense and strict laws and enforce the
laws.
In Wisconsin a drunkard is posted,
and in some cities he is photograph
ed, and the dealer that gives him li
quor loses his license. It is the same
way with a minor or an Indian. In
this good prohibition country a booze
fighter can get all the (I won't call
it liquor, for it is poison,) he wants.
His family goes in want because of
it. But you can't pot him because
such conditions are not supposed to
be in a good prohibition 'state. The
wellfare of the state being guarded
from illegal liquor trade by high sal
aried officers with a pull on both
ends.
There are two things thv.t I think
tre far more dangerous to the coun
try than the liquor traffic. They are
the sale of drugs to the so-called
dope fends, and the white slave traf-
fic. In the middle states those two
things alone cause far more insanity
and pauperism than liquor does. As
I said before, I am not a booze fight
er or a drinking man, but I like to
see the truth in all things.

PRACTICAL ECONOMY
H. S. Clyde gets Down to Brass Taxes
on the Matter
Less taxes and hnw tn pflt them
is the important need of the people at CEPT AT OWNER'S RISK, and the
present, and it is up to to the voter j Parkplace bridge is in a like con
and rests with them. If everv eandi- dition. This leaves us only one safe
date for office be pledged to give 8
hours honest labor per day, strictly
attending to the work he is hired to
do and only hiring strictly necessary
work done in his office, it would be
a great help in reducing the taxes,
both in the county and state. If we
reduce the expenses we reduce the
taxes. Do not vote for a man or
woman who will not give this pledge
and if they do not keep it recall them.
Be very careful about voting bonds
to improve roads. They will cost 2
dollars for every dollar you get. The
writer has lived 68 years and has
never seen the bondholders' children
begging bread, but has seen the la
borer do so, who has worked to pay
the bondholder.
We believe in the township plan as
every community knows its own
needs and resources, and can attend
to the business more economically
than the County Court, situated at
a distance from the township, Vfe
remember of organizing a township
in Morrison County, Minn., I being
the Chairman of the town. A two
mill tax was voted to the town and a
five mill tax for road and bridges.
After paying our assessor, clerk,
supervisor and treasurer, we had a
surplus in the treasuryt in five years
of $700. We kept up good roads,

and we gave volunteer work on roads

A SQUARE DEAL.
Ed Olds says the Barton bridge
can be built for $10,000 and the north
approach for $2,000, total $12,000.
We would advise the County Court to
take Ed up on his proposition at
once, THEN WE WOULD NEVER
GET SO . CHEAP AN OFFER
AGAIN. The old Baker's bridge
has done good service, but its use
fulness is gone. Heavy traffic like
trucking outfits, etc., ought not to
be allowed to cross it any more, EX
bridge across the whole Clackamas,
situated at Estacada, about 20 miles
from Parkplace, and 14 miles from
Baker s bridge. This is too far up
stream altogether.
There is another reason why the
Barton bridge should be built, which
is this: The former county court
agreed to construct the same if the
districts- would clear the roadways
leading to it. District No. 12 (Lo
gan) levied a special tax for this
purpose, cleared the new road and
partially graded the same. A lot
of work was done on the north side
of the river, rights of way were se
cured and now the court ought to do
its part of the agreement. This is
only fair, gentlemen. The people of
Barton, Eagle Creek, Estacada, Gar
field, etc., need this road and bridge
in order to get to the county seat.
The talk of Henry Babler and
others that we ought to give Mr.
Carve and his new railroad all the
freight, originating south of the
Clackamas, is bunk, because the old
saying "Competition is the life of
trade" holds good here also. The P.
R. L. & P. Co. agreed to donate
$2,500 towards this bridge and of
coaise expects to receive its share
of freight in return. Barton also
would improve and would make quite

a little town that would help to boost
the county.
Then there is the bridge across
the Molalla river near Shafer's mill,
Here also the former court agreed to
construct a bridge, plans and speci-
fications were made, accepted and
paid for, $150, I think. The people
pitched in and did their part of the
agreement, but so far no bridge yet.
! This bridge is also badly needed by
! the people living northeast of the
' Molalla in order to reach the town of
' Molalla. which is their logical trad-
jng point.
Heretofor it was an impossibility
for the county court to build those
bridges, on account of indebtedness,
but now since there is money on hand
for this purpose, let us live up to
our obligations AND GIVE THE

It is true the court is not legally

A MACKSBURG VIEWPOINT
The Way a Taxpayer Looks at the
County Court Game
Mackaburg, Ore.
Editor Courier:
In Mr. Mulvey's platform he is In
favor of a less number of road dis
tricts, so it would be an impossibility
to build up a political machine. Now
Mr. Mulvey is too smart a politician
to really believe any such proposi
tion. Mr. Mulvey's plan, as I understand
it, is to have about six districts, say
four or five patrolmen and the coun
ty judge, who he infers is the whole
thing. Now Mr. Mulvey, don't you
think that you could have a ring that
would have Brownell "beat a mile"
and then some in regards to a politi
cal ring?
With 59 supervisors a political
ring is an impossibility, as they arc
of several different political faithsi,
but with about ten or twelve all
would be of one party and there you
are. ...

sparkling water was partaken by
each guest, this being from the well
of the Waldron Donation Land Claim

dug by Mr. Waldron over fifty years
ago:
"Here brothers and sisters is spark
ling water
From the moss grown depths of a
rock lined well
Made 50 years ago by the hands of
Father.
The happy memories that cluster
around the dear old well
To compare with it there is no other
And in memory we hear like music
the bounteous overflow as it fell
And today this water from Clover
Hill will draw us near together,
As we renew our pledge and
drink to the health of Mother.

THE REASON FEWER
PEOPLE TAKE "SALTS",
We find the use of salts and other
harsh physics is becoming less every
year because more and more people
are using Rexall Orderlies, which we
and they firmly believe to be the
best bowel remedy ever made. They
taste so much like candy that even
the children like them. At the same
time they act so easily and naturally
that there is no purging, griping or
pain. They promptly remove - the
constipation and, by soothing and
strengthening the bowels, make it
less liable to occur again. We have
the utmost faith in them. We
know what they are- made of and the
pleasant beneficial results that al
wavs follow their use.
You needn't take our word for it.
If Rexall Orderlies don't help you
if they don't entirely relieve all your
bowel troubles come back and tell
us and we'll give back your money.
In vest pocket tin boxes; 10c, 25c 50c.
You can buy Rexall Orderlies only
at The Rexall Stores, and in this
town only of us. Huntley Bros. Co.,
