OH CITY-
A
SEEM TO BE WHERE DRESS EX
TREMES WILL STOP
"DOLL UP" DOINGS DAZE US
Women Seem to be. Going Back to
Fig Leaf Day Fashions
Drop in at The Oaks some day and
size up the undressed dolls. See them
on the street cars, on the streets and
at social functions.
4t's becoming a fright, and If we
don't regulate coverings by statute
pretty soon, we'll go back to fig leaf
days in reality.
Petticoats have gone, only the belt
is left to shirt waists, sleeves have
been relegated. About all fashion has
left above the waist line is a smne
and a string of beads, and about all
below a slit hobble and spider-web
hose.
And it DOES seem strange that
women with brains, our wives and
our sisters, will "doll up" in these
flimsy gewgaws and make spectacles
of themselves that cause men to- stop
on the street and rubber at them.
The oher day one of these dolls
got onto a car at Eighth and Main
or ratner sne was dragged on. mat
yard of mosquito netting she wore
. lor a skirt wouldn t permit ner to
' step up. It was a disgraceful sight,
that hoisting. She didn't have on
enough dry goods to ; dress a doll
properly. A dozen men and women
stopped to see the spectacle, and a
well dressed stranger voiced the sen.
timent of the on-Iookers with the
rather profane, but appropriate ques.
tion:
"Doesn't that beat hell?"
Where are our women running to ?
And after the public parades, come
the social . high jinks the "calling"
farce.
She will drape on a little trumpetry
and shortstep a round of afternoon
calls.
It means "a line of chit-chat, par
rot inane nothings, vapid, silly "small
talk," the high sign handshake, and
a hike to the next house as fast as
hobbles will permit. .
There is nothing human about this
whole proceedings, from the face daub
m the bed room to the good-bye
handshake.
The undressing verges on the in
decent, and the social forms are as
meaningless as an oath administered
to the juror.
Once in a while a man will pull into
a pleated . shirt and get inside of a
lUiaVIUIl Ul COB DUiVi
He doesn't like it, he feels and
looks more or less a fool, and he
won't get caught very often. But the
certainly wears clothes enough to
cover him and his talk won't be gib
bering gabber.
Our women seem to be under
"fixed delusion" imported from the
fast set of Paris doomed to toddle
around in scant skirts and be laughec
at by the men who should respect
them.
It's becoming a fright.
HAWLEY'S TIME IS UP
Salem Messenger . Says Stand Patter
Must lake 'he Count
One of the important results of the
primary election Friday was the
nomination of Frederick Hollister
for Representative in the First Ore
gon Congressional district. Hollis
ter's nomination means that Mr,
Hawley's time as Congressman from
Oregon is up with the expiration of
his present term, and the people of
this district which has been practic
ally without representation at Wash
ington Tor eight years may congra
tulate themselves over the fact that
Mr. Hawley is serving his last term.
This is the first time in many years
that the Democrats have had a
chance to elect a Congressman from
the First district. Thousands of Re
publicans are now ready to join them
in an effort to overthrow the prince
of standpatters who has done' absq.
lutely nothing more than draw his
salary. Hawley is a politician
nothing more. He has learned the
game since he weirt to Washington
and has played it with skill seldom
equaled. His influence where he
had any has been thrown on the
side of big interests. We are through
with him. ' Every patriotic voter in
the district should rally to the sup
port of Frederick Hollister of Coos
county so that the First district may
be represented by a live man rather
than a political dead-head, a statue,
a wooden man.
WHAT HOLDS BACK
CLACKAMAS COUNTY
Taxation has Jumped to Where Land
is no Investment
Three weeks ago hte Courier had
an account of how taxation had in
creased on a little farm near Mulino.
A resident of Oregon City saw it
and he told the Courier editor this
one.
He says he owns a tract of land near
Viola, the taxes on which ten years
ago were $22. This year he says
they were $360.
He says the place has not been
improved a dollars worth during the
ten years, and that he would gladly
sell it at the assessed valuation, but
can not
He also told of another instance
of . a farm of 80 acres, which the
owner rents for $60 per year, keeps
un the fences, and on which he (the
owner) pays taxes of $50.
It is such taxation as this that
holds back development in Oregon.
Such taxation is unnecessary, be.
cause the excessive state tax is un
necessary. It is absolutely neces
sary to cut state expenses to the
bone and have something to offer'
prospective settlers beside taxation

U'Ren Answers Turner.
Oregon City, Ore., June 2, 1914.
To the Editor. ' , .
Mr.. Turner asked in last week's
Courier whether I favor a medical
monopoly. - I do not. I think the
law of Oregon should permit every
citizen to choose his own medical as
sistance when he is trying to stay
in this world. Every citizen should
be free to do everything he wants
to do that does not interfere with
the eaual right of any other citizen
to do what he pleases, dr that is not
contrary to what a majority of the
peonle believe to be for the general
welfare of all.
Respectfully yours,
W. S. U'REN.
Try Fifth Street System.
To patch up Main street, as
the property owners request,
the council would be forced to
do two things: to repeal the
ordinance passed September 6,
1912, declaring the life of Main
street to expire December 31,
1912; and to pass an ordinance
appropriating money for the
patching up of the street. The
Enterprise.
Nothing of the kind is necessary.
Just go ahead and do the necessary
work and bring in the bill for pay
mentas was done on Fifth street.
Whats an ordinance between
friends? Forget it. Give orders to
have Main street, patched, made
new or removed, everybody forget
who gave the orders, pay the bills
and 'tis dqne.
THE PLAY THAT .
BOOZE WILL STAGE.
An ' Independent Candidate in Dis
guise Will Try for Governor.
There is going to be an indepen
dent candidate for governor and
play this tip that he will be Ben.
net
The candidate, it is said, will be
the candidate of the liquor interests,
but the inerests will not own him
or rather he will not own his par
ents. ,
It willbe given out that both pap-
ties and party papers are dissatis
fied with the nominees; that Smith
and Wythcombe are week -brothers,
and that the independent candidate
responds to "the call of the people."
("Come up and have something.")
What won't be given out is that
the situation of three candidates for
governor, Smith, Withycombe and
U'Ren, are all on a dry platform, and
that it looks like, easy picking for a
wet candidate in disguise, if he is a
man of some standing, to win out for
governor while the trio of drys fight
each other.
And again:
Certain checker players in Port
land have figured it out that Oregon
has pretty good prospects of going
dry this fall; that while voters will
scatter on the question of governor
they will bunch up on the initiative
statewide dry vote and put it over.
State prohibition with a prohibition
governor will mean something.
State prohibition with a wet gov
ernor will mean bootlegging, biind
oiggine. law violations winked at and
a condition that will disgust the peo
ple, and after a couple of years they
will be supposed to give it up as a
bad job, delcare that prohibition does
not prohibit and drift back to the old
booze game, i
That's the dope, wow watcn ano
see if the Democrat who was defeat
ed for governor in the primaries
doesn't come out as an independent
candidate, and if both old-line Re
publicans don't forget party and ties,
and fall 'on his neck and sob out big,
salty, wet tears of joy.
Certain it is that, there is an om
inious lack M enhusiasm for either
the man doctor or horse doctor nom
inees, and the newspapers, of both
parties have the hose turned on.
Whether, like the Courier, they got
the leak and are shaning to support
the new man, or whether it "just
hardened." is a matter to guess on.
And when they get things well
crambled; when they get to fight
ing among themselves, as the liauor
interests have planned: when they
forget party and eet into a nasty
free-for-all scrap, then will the wiser
heads pnuare away and conclude it is
about time to dump the whole kettle
ind mme down the line for the only
nd'date for governor who reallv
stands for something, and who will
really do something W. S. U'Ren.

SEWAGE IMPREGNATED WATER
AGAIN BRINGS DEATH
MOUNTAIN WATER IS NEEDED
Passage of Bond Issue Required as
Move of Public Duty and Safety
Cometh now" the early summer,
with warm days, occasional showers,
low - water in the upper river and
TYPHOID FEVER. And it comes
to Oregon City, just as it has in
years past.
Already the life of a much beloved
and respected woman, Mrs. Margaret
Little, has been sacrificed to the
annual ravage of the typhoid germ,
and two other residents of Oregon
City are confined to their beds wuh
the scourge that lurks in the sewage
filled water that we drink. How
many more must there be offered as
victims to the stubborn effort of a
well-meaning water board to make
good, drinkable water out of the slop
that drains into the Willamette from
the scores of cities and towns further
up the valley ?
It is gossip on the street that the
bond issue for the installation of a
pure mountain water system will not
carry, feople are saying tnat the
early enthusiasm for this plan has
worn itself out, that bickering in the
council and a mistrust of West Linn
have combined to spell defeat for
the bonding of Oregon City for a sen
sible and safe supply of public drink
ing water. And the gaunt spectre
of TYPHOID walks through the city
and laughs.
Is there no power of human reas.
oning left in Oregon City? And are
there enough of these people to de.
feat the only plan that will insure
Oregon City for all time against the
annual ravages of TXVtiVW!
In high circles there is a whisper.
inc. Fingers are placed on lips, and
the command is spread about, "Don't
talk about TYrHUlJJ, it will knock
the town." Will keeping silent about
this peril do anything to better condi
lions 7 Or will such ' silence lull the
public to a false feeling of security,
which may lead to the defeat of the
pure mountain water bond issue j
And Rhould the bond issue be de.
feated, and TYPHOID continue its
ravages, who tyill be to blame? The
people who have not been informed
as to true conditions? No. If the
bond issue is defeated the deaths of
future TYPHOID victims will be up
on the heads of those who are now
trying to suppress the information
that TYPHOID is once more with
us.
Whom does TYPHOID kill? It
slavs the babes, the women, the little
children and the over-worked men.
Well nourished and robust folk may
fight off the onslaught of TYPHOID,
but those who are morally the wards
of the city, those whose strength is
sapped so they cannot fight for
themselves, die of TYPHOID. They
die because they drink sewage. And
they drink sewage because no scheme
of filtration is so perfect that it will
stop the passage of all the minue
organisms that breed TYPHOID.
- VOTERS SHOULD REMEMBER
THIS. On their action at the polls
when the pure mountain water bond
issue is submitted to them will de
pend the lives of the weak, of the
children of the future, of the noble
women who have lost their strength
and vigor in the travail of childbirth,
giving their best to the future citi
zenship of Oregon City. DO THE
VOTERS WANT TO BE THE MUR
DERERS OF" THESE? Careless
ness on their part may make them
so. A feeling of false security on
their part may make them so. The
feeling that "what has done in the
past will do in the future" may make
them so.
Remember this. Remember TY
PHOID is with us again, as it has
been in the past. And remember
that THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT
TYPHOID FEVER IS TO GET A
WATER SUPPLY OF UNQUES
TIONED PURITY.
Sewer drainage is the toast of the
TYPHOID spectre, in it he drinks to
your death!
MAKE ALL STREETS
PAY THE SAME PRICE
Main Street Should Not Get Favors
the Hill Doesn't Get.
As the Courier understand the
matter of Main street paving, the
question is whether the city or the
Main street property owners shall
pay the cost.
For many years the city has paid
the freight, and a city ordinance
provides that now the property own
ers shall take care of it. -
After a street has been improved
by city aid and kept up for a certain
number of years, then the property
owners along the street are expected
to.
If Main street is to be paved out
of the general fund, then why
'shouldn't, every improved street in
the city have the -same aid? ;
And if -they are all given it, then
where will our city tax rate soar to,
and what kind of a deal will it be to
the taxpayer who lives on an unim
nroved street, and has to buck up
for years for improvements that will
benefit the other man's property and
not his own. '
Main street improvement will cost
a lot of money, but any time you
think Main street property isn't
worth a lot of money just try to buy
a lot. .
ft's a cinch that Main ' street
should not be favored any more than
streets on the hill section. .

COUNCIL ELECTS
T
JOHN TRIMBLE WILL REPLACE
F. J. S. TOOZE ON BOARD. ,
TEMPLETON ROASTS COURIER
Says it has Wilfully Perverted Facts
Regarding Fifth Street
Meeting for its first regular June
session, the city council Wednesday
night elected John Trimble to fill the
vacancy eaused by the resignation
of F. J. S. Tooze.
George Griffith was, nominated by
Mr. Hackett in opposition to Mr.
Trimble, and balloting showed five
votes for the latter, to three for Grif
fith. Dr. C. H. Meisner, elected last
week to take the place of Mr. Tooze,
refused to serve.
The council also elected Fred Mc
Causland as a member of the board
of water commissioners, to replace
James A. Roake, whose term has
expired. . '
Opening of the alley in block 110,
between Jefferson and Madison
streets, was ordered, and the city
recorder instructed to advertise for
bids. A resolution for the improve
ment of Fifteenth street, from Jack
son to Madison streets, with full-
width macadam, at an estimated cost
of $5329, was adopted.
T. L. Charman favored the council
with a protest against an assessment
of five dollars on four of his lots ior
elevator approach work. The pro.
test was referred to City Attorney
Schuebel, who "recommended that it
be carefully preserved and framed if
necessary. . .
The , auto truck license ordinance
came up for final passage, hiit was
declared discriminatory by local au
tomobile truckmen, and on this show
ing was placed on the table till the
next regular meeting. Claims of
local truck operators will be inves
tigated in the meantime. The revised
cigarette ordinance passed with Long
and Hackett voting nay.
An ordinance authorizing the im
nrovement of Division street fram
Molalla Ave. to the Fisher claim line
was introduced, and will come up for
final consideration June 17th.
Bids for the repaying of Main
street from Second to Moss, were
onened and referred to the mayor.
engineer, citv attorney and street
committee. They ranged from $1.20
per square yard for concrete up to
$3.55 per square yard for vitrified
brick. No discussion of the bids or
of the Main street paving question
came up. '
Monthly bills were audited, and
council adjourned.
After maneuvering for three weeks
and sending Mayor Linn E. Jones a
note in the course ol tne council
meeting. Councilman ' Templeton
Wednesday night gained an oppor
tnnit.v t.n free his mind a bit re.
garding the recent improvement of
Fifth street at city expense.
"There has been some comment
in regard to Fifth street," said the
mayor, "and I have been asked to
state that this street was ordered re
the latter part of Mr.
nimirk's adminisration. At that
time Mr. Babcock was unable to get
rock for the work, and so the matter
wpnt. over until the present year,
,li on netino1 under the old order, Mr.
Babcock did the job though in the
meantime the Hie oi tne street hu

Councilman Meyer further ex-
nloiarl Una mutter, saving that dur
ing the Dimick administration Jthe
intention had been to repair both
Fifth and Seventh streets and then
to declare all future work atthe ex
nan DO fT t.hn shutting property. One
block of Seventh street was redress
ed and then the work was ordered
stopped and the "life" declared on
both streets. ., ,

nired the floor, announced that the
Representative of the Courier had
"willfully pervertea uu 'S'
that thougn Dotn ,iv f iT
ton) and Street Superintendent Bab
cock had appealed to the Courier to
print a correction, nothing had been
done. "Mr. Brown was so steeped
in falsehood," remarked Mr. Tem
pleton "that he would do nothing.
Mr. Templeton also made further
remarks along the same line. ,
It will be recalled that the Courier
originally quoted Mr. Babcock as
saying that Mr. Templeton had or
dered the Fifth street improvement
after the "life" of the street had ex
pired. It also offered to prin,t a
statement over Mr. Templeton s sig
nature saying he had not ordered
the work done. Mr. Templeton re
fused to sign this statement.
It, also still remains a mystery why
Fifth street was redressed at the ex
pense of the general fund while Sev
enth street is being repaired at the
expense af the property owners
thereon if the original order of the
council was that both these Btreets
okn,ill ks ronaireH nt citv expense
before the .'"life" of them expired.
Next week the Courier hopes to
be able to shed further light upon
this matter which so annoys Mr.
Templeton.
"BOOTLEGGER" IS FORGER
Local Prisoner Turns Out to be Es
caped Ward of Portland bhenn
".Tnhn Have of Tacoma." as he
stvled himself when he was arrest
ed for bootlegging in Oregon City
two weeks ago, and who was given
a sentence of $250 and 90 davs in the
city jail is the guest of Chief Ed.
Shaw no longer. Instead he has
transferred his residence to the
M)tnomah County jail, where he is
waiting sentence on a charge of for
cerv. And for this Hayes has to
thank the skillful detective sense of
Chief Shaw, who recognized in his
OFFICIALS
prisoner a man whom he knew to
be "wanted" elsewhere.
After being convinced that Hayes
was a fugitive from justice, Chief
Shaw went through his records, try
ing to "make" bis man. Later he
conferred with Multnomah county
authorities, and as a result Sheriff
Tom Word recognized Hayes as a
clever forger who had escaped from
him some weeks ago. Hayes and
his wife had passed a number of
worthless checks in Portland, and
had later fled to San Francisco, from
whence they were brought back for
trial, nayes ieigned illness, was
sent to the hospital, and made a clev
er get-away. Saturday Sheriff Word
came up from Portland in an auto,
mobile and took his man to the me.
tropolis, promising not to let him
escape again.
While confined in the city Jail here
Hayes wrote a "confession" of his
bootlegging career, in which he de
clared that he had purchased his
liquor without any trouble from one
of the local drugstores! in Oregon
City. He was going to give this
confession to local newspapers to
publish, but when he heard that he
was to be turned over to Sheriff Word
he destroyed the document. Chief
Shaw saw enough of it, to realize
that it was probably more sensa.
tional than truthful.
FINAL. SURVEY OF
PIPE LINE COMPLETED
And City will Soon Advertise for Bids
for New Water SyBtem
The fihal survey for the pipe line
from the South Fork of the Clack
amas River for Oregon City's mu
nicipal supply is practically com
pleted. The surveying parties which
nave been in the field since April
the 20th, with the exception of a
small force connecting up the land
lines, , have been disbanded. Three
parties have been employed at dif
ferent times on different sections of
the work and on Wednesday of last
week when these sections were con
nected the total distance was found
to be 24.9 miles ' as against 26.1
miles as given in the preliminary es
timate made last fall. This short
ening of 1.2 miles or 6,330 feet comes
for the most part as a result of tak
ing direct courses in place of fol
lowing the county roads as was pro
posed in the preliminary report.
Except for taking the more direct
course in place of the somewhat cir
cuitous county roads, the location in
general follows the preliminary sur
vey. From the intake on the South
Fork of the Clackamas about 8.000
feet above its confluence with the
main river the line follows down the
left bank of the South Fork and
thence down the left bank of the main
river to a point about a- quarter of
a mile south of the county bridge at
Estacada. Thence crossing DuBois
creek near the old DuBois mill the
line ascends gradually to the summit
of the Springwater ridge. From this
point,' after swinging to the left, the
location follows nearly a direct line
to and across Clear Creek canyon to
the Redland Four-corners. This
makes the crossing of Clear Creek
about a half mile below Viola and the
narrowness of the canyon at this
point greatly reduces the length of
the high pressure pipe as compared
to the preliminary line which ran
through Viola.
From the Redland Cross-roads the
line follows a westerly course,
crosses the Abernathy a short dis
tance below Linn's Mill and after
passing the Harris Sawmill swings
to the right through the farm of
Judge' Campbell and continues on a
nearly direct line across country to
the junction of the Molalla and High
land Roads, from which point the
location follows the Molal la Road to
the Ely reservoir.
The hydraulic grade is that from
the intake to the Springwater Ridge,
a distance of 13 miles, the pipe will
have a diameter of 18 inches; from
the Springwater Ridge to the Harris
place, a distance of 7.5 miles, the
pipe will have a diameter of 16 inches
from the Harris nace to uregon city
the pipe will have a diameter of 14
inches. In this respect the final
survey confirms the earliest re-
port.
The engineers will require a few
days in which to complete checking
up the surveys, nmshmg the draw,
ings and preparing the estimates
and as soon as this work is com.
pleted the City will be in a position
to advertise for bids.
