In a decision rendered by the su preme court Tuesday it was held that the property recently condemned for elevator purposes belongs to Mrs. Chase, but that the strip between the face of the bluff ana tne S. P. line is tluj propery of the city. Lieut. P. H. Burns of Liberal was in the city Wednesday on business and incidentally doing some boosting for that place. He is secretary of the Liberal Development League and he is sanguine that that town has a big future with the two new railroads. Mr. and Mrs. John Hughes, of Lo t'ar., passed thru this city Monday evening on their way h n;e fron the Oregon Matt: Fair. ' Tftay were vu successful . the fail in winning prizes on their Guernseys, carrying many prizes offered in that class, in cluding championship. It is often said that a postoffice is a thermometer of a city's business. Thursday of last week an extra car rier was put on for the down town district, and Postmaster Randall says the last quarterly report shows a gen eral increase in all departments of the postoffice. Wonder if the Port land "wets" will put this on the bulle tin boards of thee ity as showing the effects of a "dry" city. The eight foot cement walk from Seventh street to the elevator ap proach is completed, and the walk to sixth street will be a much shorter and less expensive job, as the ground is level and there is little excavating, This walk presents a magnificnet view of the city, and when the guard fence along the bluff face is com pleted and the walk opened to the public, it will be a most popular promenade. Wednesday John Moehnke of Wil lamette paid a year's subscription to the Courier with the statement that he had been a constant subscriber of the paper .since it was founded, 32 years ago. This is the second sub scriber we have knowledge of who has taken the paper this length of time, and if there are any others we would like to know them. Mr. Moeh nke says the Courier has changed ed itors, color and politics several times since he subscribed. At the corner of Fourth and High streets, is a deep well, cemeted, curb ed and covered. A notice posted states the water has been analyzed and found pure. A weight attach ment makes it easy to draw the water, and the . owners of the well permit all to come there and help themselves. And for blocks around every night men, women and children go to this well and carry water to their homes in the notrhern part of the city. It is free from alum and hypo-chloride, cool and refreshing. And what a reflection on the city's water it is to see these people nightly come as far" as six blocks to get good water ,yet paying the price for good water at home. A spring near the Jones' rock crusher is another sup ply for many families who carry it for long distances. .'l VJIiggg A TorjJd Liver Is a fine field for the Malarial Germ and it thrives wonderfully.

CITY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE If it Knows Water is Dangerous and Continues to Serve it to People The question has been asked of the Courier that if the city water, anal yzed by the state board of health, and found unsafe, yet was continued to be served to the families of the city and typhoid sickness or death should result, if the city would not be liable for the death, damages and ex penses '! The matter was taken up with an attorney in this city, and he said the city would Clearly be responsible, u it could be established that the dam age was the direct result of the water and that this would be a mattel of proof. He was of the opinion that an isolated case of fever would nave a hard time to establish the water as the cause, but that if an epidemic broke out, after the state board of health or any reputable chemist had shown the water was unsafe, it was his opinion it would be sufficient proof of the cause of sickness or death. "But if there is or was any such condition of the water," said the at torney, and the state board of health knew it, it should take the matter in hand, order the service stopped and force the city to supply safe water to the people, after which the city would clearly be responsible for dam ages if it ignored the order of the board." "But," the lawyer added, "the state board of health appears to be far more interested in removing Dr. van Brakle from office than in pro tecting the lives and health of the people." ROBBERS TAKE THEIR TIME Break Open P. O., Cart out Safe and Blow it at Their Leisure One of the boldest robbertes in this county for years occurred at Os wego Tuesday night, when Isafe blowers rode out in an auto from Portland, broke open the postoffice door, loaded a 1,000 pound safe on a truck taken from the depot, carted it out to a convenient place, blew it open with glycerine, took out about $800 in cash, got into their car and drove back to the city. The sheriff's 'departments of both Clackamas and Multnomah counties have been hard at work on the case, but so far no trace of the three men has been found. And when you think about it it is seldom that postoffice burglars are caught. It seems to be the safest crime proposition in the country. Live Wires Ridicule Main Street The first autumn session of the Live Wires was held at the commer cial club parlors Tuesday noon, and Oregon City's main street served as the fun maker. A miniature Main street was re produced on the table, with the dan ger signs, the holes in the paving, etc, and n n F.hv. the Main Trunk, act ed as safety man and guide, point- ing out tne saie pains mrougu uie city's main thoroughfare.

"What doth Jehovah require of thee, out to do justly ami to love kindness, and to math humbly with thy Qodt"Micah 6:8. 7ESUS sought to Impress upon His hearers that it was not suf 1 flcient to hear that a Kingdom of God was coming to bring blessings to the world, and that a Kingdom class was being called to be Messiah's Jolut-helrs In that Kingdom. Action would be necessary on their part If they would attain this high priv ilege which God had granted them. Jesus gave an illustration, saying that those who heard His Message and obeyed it would 1 1 asra" be like a wise man who built upon tho rock, where rains would not wash away the foundation. The storms of life and the great crisis, death, are sure to come. Amidst these trials there will be calmness, security and con- "The Bock of ohrlrt fidence .for such Jeeut." as have accepted- the Lord's arrange ment and have walked to the best of their ability in Jesus' footsteps. "Other Foundation Can No Man Lay." Ou the other baud, Jesus intimated that many who heard Ills words and expressed great appreciation of them, would full to take the proper steps to attain the glorious Kingdom privileges which lie presented. They would al low custom, habit, love of pleasure, love of ease, the spirit of the world, to hinder them, from making full de votion of themselves to God. Such did not build their faith upon the proper foundation. Perhaps some built upon the Law, and thought to commend themselves to God by their own endeavors, without the Imputation of Christ's merit Such would be greatly mistaken. Other foundation can no man lay than that which God has laid Jesus Christ. His death is our redemption-price; and His appearance in glory as our Advocate Is to make good our unintentional shortcomings. , With all such, the day of trial will surely come; and their faith structure, being without proper foundation, will give way. They will suffer loss of all their hopes. This, however, does not signify, as many once supposed, that they will go to eternal torment. Evi dently nearly all Christians, misled by the creeds of the Dark Ages, have read Into God's Word things which it does not contain. Compare St. Paul's Parable. The Apostle Paul used a similar il lustration. Those building upon that foundation with the gold, silver and precious stones of iJivIne Truth de veloping faith and character in har mony with the Divine requirements will suffer no loss in the great trial day at the end of this Age. But others who build with the wood, hay and stub ble of human tradition and self com placency, will have their entire faith structure cousmned. 1 Corinthians 3:10-15.) - Nevertheless the Apostle tells us that even these. If they have built upon Christ, will themselves be saved, yet so as by fire. They will be what is term ed a tribulation class, described In Rev elation 7:14-17. The class building with gold, sliver and precious stones, will be n Little Flock, a Itoyal Priesthood. But the class building upon the Bock without proper materials will be the Great company, the antitype of the Levites. They will serve God through the priestly cluss. "The People Were Astonished." No wonder the people were astonish ed at such doctrines as Jesus set forth! His teachings had a posltlveness quite different from the speculations and wonderlngs of the scribes and Phari sees. So It is always with the Truth. Wherever there is confusion and mys tery, we may be sure that there is er ror and ignorance. Hence the neces sity that all wbo preach Christ should have tho anointing, or ordination to preach, which God alone gives through the begetting of the Holy Spirit Our Golden Text, The Prophet Mlcah addressed our Golden Text to the people of Israel, and therefore his message was given from the standpoint of the Law. Never- l4(4rfpHl flllullB(1 tl10 Law except Jesus, De cause all except Ilim were fallen and imperfect Ho alone was "holy, harmless, uudefiled and separate from sinners." During Messiah's Millennial King dom, this same Law given to Israel "Saved So Fire.' at by through Moses will be given to the wbolo world of mankind through Mes siah. The requirements will be to do Justly, to love kindness, to walk hum bly with God. The reason why Mes siah's ministration of this Law will be a success, while Muxes' ministration was a failure so fur as bringing any one to perfection was concerned, is that Messiah's Kingdom will be fully prepared and authorized to forgive sin ners and to help them back to the im age and likeness of God. originally rep resented In Father Adam. The right to thus fiiiglve sin and lift the sinner out of degradation, belongs to Messiah, by virtue of Ills sacrifice. HOW CHILDREN GROW Children grow by nourishment not overloaded stomachs or rich foods but qualities that are readily converted into liie-sustaining blood; too often their digestive powers cannot procure these qualities from ordinary foods which results in weakness, dullness and sickness.
