Burmeister & Andresen Oregon City Jewelers Suspension Bridge Corner j Sehuebel Wants Grand Jury to Oct; But Loder Is Liberal The Honorable Christian Sehuebel, j city attorney of the county seat, and I avowed foe of the Demon Rum doesn't see why City Recorder John Loder is willing to be so lenient with H. P. Jones, a jitney driver, and some of the members of Hose Company No. 4. Mr. Loder fined Jones $100 for bringing eight gallons of beer into town Monday night, and then remitted $75 of the fine, while the fire com pany paid the remaining $25. Mr. Loder said that he believed this met the demands of justice in the case, but Mr. Sehuebel couldn't see it. In order to have things his way, Mr. Sehuebel succeeded in getting at the grand jury Tuesday, and laid be fore them a list, of names of witnes ses whom he declared could give sur prising evidence in regard to the eight gallons of beer and incidents that he alleged were violations of the local option law. Mr. Sehuebel seems to believe that the beer that Jones brought in was ordered and authoriz ed by some of the city firemen, and that the firemen were hoping to use their official capacity to "cover up the shipment. Mr. Loder, who inves tigated the case thoroughly, doesn't think the firemen were concerned at all. COUNTY AND CITY LOCALS L.

WATER FIGURES GIVEN NEWS FROM GERMANY Love of Home is Nation's Greatest Characteristic, Says Writer Laura Spencer Porter writes an other story in her series of interpre tations of foreign countries in the November Woman's Home Compan- Courier Reader Finds Poem that Con tains a Really Good Sermon Frank Moore, one of the steadfast friends of the Courier, was looking over some St. Paul (Minn.) papers last week, and in a copy of the Pio neer Press he ran across a poem that had beenc lipped from the London (Va.) "Mirror.'.' The poem impressed Mr. Moore as ljeing worth while spreading about, and he sent it to the Courier, which is glad to reprint it. It Isn't Your Town It's You If you want to live in the kind of a town That's the kind of a town you like, You needn't slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll find elsewhere what you left be hind, For there's nothing that's really new. It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town; It isn't your town it's you. Real towns are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead, When everybody works and nobody shirks, You can raise a town from the dead. And if while you make your personal stake, Your neighbor can make one, too, Your town will be what you want to see; It isn't your town it's you.

I am the Spirit of Pure Water! You have beckoned I have come! My home is in the dizzy heights of the upper Clackamas, in the snow-capped mountains, the dashing brooks, the cool ravines and the glassy pools. For years I have passed you by, singing my joyous song of free dom. For years yea centuries I have rushed madly by you, proud in my strength which knew no bounds, happy in my freedom, and yet, withal, sad at heart because you needed me and did not call. I am the Spirit of Pure Water! You have harnessed me with a bridle of steel. You have taken me from my stainless bed and have sent me coursing o'er mountain sides, through rocky tunnels, across deep chasms and down mighty cliffs. Your iron bands creak and groan, as I charge my way in darkness through miles of forest and acres of golden grain. At your bidding I hurry onward ever onward in my mad race to reach you and to serve you. At last I arrive and bow to thy will, shorn of my great strength which once turned mountain boulders from my path, and yet happy in the thought that my usefulness to mankind has just begun. , . . You have beckoned I have come! I bring you joy, and health, and peace of mind and body. I bring you new life, new energies and send new ambitions pulsating through your blood. I fill your homes with sunshine eternal and smile nt you and with you. I am the sweetest nectar of the Gods and Fortune follows me where'eer I go. My very breath is strength my kiss is Life! I am the Spirit of Pure Water! You have beckoned I have come!

(D STORE Oregon City's Busy Progressive Store TOM BURKE HONORED Local Attorney Named Head of Live Wires for Ensuing Term At the Tuesday luncheon of the Live Wires of the Oregon City Com mercial club Thomas A. Burke was unanimously elected "main trunk." Mr. Burke was not a "receptive can didate'' for the office, and was utter ly surprised when the honors were wished upon him. It was with some difficulty that he managed to make a graceful speech of acceptance, but he made the speech just the same. It is believed that under Mr. Burkes leadership the Live Wires will ac complish many things that will be found worth while, and his selection is generally approved . Charles W. Risley was chosen Sub- Trunk and A. C. Howland, Transmis sion Wire. Two Children Had Croup The two children of J. W. Nix, mer chant, Cleveland, Ga., had croup last winter. One was a boy of 6, the other a girl of 8 years. Mr. Nix writes: "Both got so choked up they could hardly breathe and couldn't talk. 1 gave them Foley's Honey and Tar and nothing else and it entirely cured them.''

The members of the Willamette Court hope to in crease their membership by about a hundred during the campaign, and a meeting to formulate plans for the work was held Monday evening of this week. Government Issues Bulletin on Avail able Supplies in Cascades Well to the west of the great rock barrier which in the early days of the Republic was assumed to be the nat ural western boundary of the United States lies another great belt of ele vated land surmounted by a chaos of rugged peaks and pyramids the Cascade Range of Washington and Oregon. In these mountains there is an inexhaustible store of potential wealth, much of it belonging to the Nation not precious or useful metals for mines, however rich, must eventu ally become exhausted, but a wealth of running water, an endless chain revolving with the seasons. The streams of the Cascades possess in high degree the requisite characteris tics for the successful development of water power, namely, steep grad ient, .abundant water and compara tively uniform flow. Ada to these the enormous resources of timber, metallic and other minerals, and lands as yet developed only in small part but promising an extensive fu ture market or water power and it becomes apparent that the large areas of country surrounding the Cascade Plateau have in the undeveloped pow er of their streams very great po tential wealth. The summaries of the available power in each basin are computed from the avearge flow for the lowest week on record and from the flow that could be realized from possible storage. The flow with storage is computed on the basis of the con tinuous discharge that can be main. tained by the release of the stored water during the most extreme drought on record, considering the length and severity of long-water periods.

(jommenung on uermuny iuvc of home and the simple human things of life the author says in part: "But underlying Germany's love of order, lies her fundamental love of home; and here, it seems to me, one comes upon the very heart of Ger many, a heart that beats warm with love for the simple human things and that delights in the simple human affections. "There is something peculiarly touching in the home birthdays and anniversaries made so much of with such simplicity and downright love of eriving pleasure. In this frank love of the simple joys and pleasures of life thy remind one of nothing so much as good and contented children themselves, alternately sober or mirthful, making much of little things.'

ESTACADA WANTS WATER Northern County Community Hopes to Drink South Fork Soon Through the courtesy and efforts of Engineer Hal Rands of the Oregon City Water Commission, assistant en gineer White has determined the exact elevation of the Estacada reservoir, being 701 feet above sea-level. Doubt was expressed as to whether the water from the South Fork pipe line would flow into the reservoir, in case Estacada obtained water from this source. In as much as the -in take of the South Fork line is at an elevation of about 730 feet and the water is forced over the Springwater divide at an elevation of 702 feet, this question is answered. As to whether Estacada buys water from Oregon City depends en. tirely on the outcome of the ncgo tiations now under way between Es tacada City Council and the neighbor ing water commission. As soon as Oregon City has its water completely installed, the commission will find time to consider the local applica ton. The residents of Oregon City are now using the South Fork water, al though all of the city's mains are not yet handling it, but will be in a few days. (Estacada Progress) LO, THE POOR EDITOR Estacada Man Complains that Life is Not All that it Should Be The field of journalism is a won derfully awe inspiring and respons ible one, furnishing the writer a chance to mold the morals, senti ments and development of communi ties, offering unlimited scope to prac tice the highest obligations to their fellow men and last but not least the privilege of working 'steen hours per day and wondering where the price of the next meal is coming from. As a further warning to those as piring to editorial success, xney must primarily bear in mind the fact that an editor sometimes gets licked, sometimes has a mend and some times is able to get in a collection, al. though this latter ray of sunshine sel dom happens from a subscriber, for subscribers have inherited the idea that newspaper subscriptions are never due, but like contributions to re ligious work, payable whenever the spirit moves or a dollar is found for which no other use can be imagined, But aside from these minor consider ations the newspaper field offers an enticing future with an occasional meal.

THIS IS SHOCKING Pitiful Crime Is Reported from Mo lalla and Should be Punished It is reported that, during the dance, last Saturday night, liquor was given to several small boys. If this can be proven we hope that it will not be dropped, but that the guilty parties be made to answer for their crime. There is nothing connected with the liquor business quite so bad as the inducing of young boys to drink. The law very wisely provides severe punishment for the giving of liquor to minors and in this case the matter should be thoroughly investi gated and if any are guilty they should suffer the penalties provided by the law. There has been too much of this going on for some time and for some reason it has been passed over. (Molalla Pioneer.) The Courier has a full line of Legal Blanks for sale.

BERTHA BREMER ARTHUR BREMER CARL BREMER Estacada Progress Offers Hints on Sabbath Observation A recent copy of the Estacada Pro gross offers somewhat contradictory advice to its readers in regard to the Sabbath, but maybe in Estacada they know how to do these things. And in cidentally we wonder why the editor didn't say what the minutes mention, ed were to be taken off of. Down here in the county seat we have lots of minutes, but we find it hard to pry them loose. The Estacada ad vice is as follows: "Let's everybody fool the new min istcr next Sunday by attending church and he will take it for granted that we are old stand-bys. Next Sunday, take off five minutes and carefully examine the boards in your sidewalk and if they need re- pairing, take off five to ten minutes longer and still find time to attend church."
