That in each 24 hours the balance wheel vi
brates more than 400,000 times?

Sure We Do
We want no blue laws in Oregon.
Certain ministers are advocating "one
day of rest out of seven." This ap
peals to most of us because we want
to rest one day (or more) out of each
week. But it is not the idea of "rest
that prompts the proposal to make
that "day of rest'' Sunday. The in
fluences back of the proposal to init1
iate a day of rest law desire us to
rest their way to stay away from
the Sunday ball game, the Sunday
theater, the Sunday picnic, and to
forego every Sunday recreation. In
short the law will be a Sunday blue
law more intent on closing the Sun
day lid than in creating a "day of
rest." We are willing to wager the
people vote down any proposal to
enact such -Sunday Blue Laws. We
want to rest in our own way. (Auro
ra Observer.)
Went to the Hospital
C. E. Blanchard, postmaster at
Blanchard, Cal., writes: "I had kid
ney trouble so bad I had to go to the
hospital. Foley Kidney Pills were
recommended to me and they com
pletely cured me. I cannot speak too
highly of them." Sufferers in every
state have had similar benefit from
this standard remedy for kidney and
bladder ailments. It banishes back
ache, stiff joints, swollen muscles and
all the various symptoms of weakened
or diseased kidneys. Jones Drug Co.

Great Log Building at Frisco Fair
May Be Moved to Ashland
If the Southern Pacific will haul
the Oregon Building to Ashland free
of cost, it is not wholly improbable
that the famous Oregon Parthenon
will grace the wonderful park being
developed at Ashland through the ex
penditure of $175,000 secured by bond
issue for this purpose and that of de
veloping the Lithia Springs there.
During the past ten days, Bert R.
Greer, of the Ashland Tidings, and
chairman of the Springs Water Com
mission has been here in consultation
with the Oregon Commission and the
Southern Pacific Officials and is ser
ious in his attempt to secure the Ore
gon building for re-erection in his
home city. Just now there is no great
hope that the Government will decide
to maintain the building here, and con
tract calls for its removal within
ninety days after the close of the Ex
position. The best offer that , the
Commission has had for the building
is $1,000, thee oncern making this of
fer agreeing to remove the structure
and put the ground in the shape re
quired by the contract.
However, Gfreer figures that the
Commission can afford to waive that
amount if the famous building could
be reset at Oregon's southern gate
way, and the public in general will
agree. It will cost from twelve to
fifteen thousand dollars to wreck the
building and Mr. Greer is confident
that he can secure that amount in his
home city, providing the Southern
Pacific will agree to transport the
wreckage to Ashland. It is under
stood that the Springs Commission al
ready has available a considerable
sum for the construction of a casino
in the park, and there would be no
difficulty about financing the recon
struction of the Oregon building.
,If the Parthenon Is not to be main
tained here, it is reasonably certain
that all Oregon would delight in its
reconstruction at Ashland. That city
is spending a very large sum to de
velop a great resort and the beauti
fication of the mountain park prac
tically in the heart of that city is now
in the hands of McLaren, father of
Golden Gate Park's landscape beauty,
and also responsible for the wondrous
beauty of the Exposition grounds.
The Oregon Parthenon would have
perfect surroundings there, and as a
convention hall, museum, casino,' or
something of the sort it would serve
a good purpose and advertise Ashland
as nothing else could and result to
the great advantage of Oregon in
general.
"BUY AT HOME'' STUFF
Hubbard Gets Lesson in Value of Pat
ronizing State Industries
Last week's Hubbard Enterprise
contains a front page story devoted
to telling of the way in which a
smooth and talkative stranger "stung"
various Hubbard folk with a set of
books and a correspondence course in
the. "Angeles University, of Los
Angeles, California." It appears that
after buying the books, which were
poorly printed, and after paying for
the course, which didn't materialize,
Hubbard people investigated the prop
osition and found out it was a fake.
The Courier, usually sympathizes
with the man who gets the worst end
of a deal, but in this Hubbard mat
ter our sympathy is somewhat mixed
with mirth. And this is because no
person in Hubbard need patronize a
California school of learning to get
an education. Hubbard has some ex
cellent schools, and the Oregon Uni
versity and the Oregon, Agricultural
College both have extension courses
that can be had practically for
nothing. Knowledge is to be obtain
ed in Oregon in large quantities, and
there is no need of patronizing the
mail-order houses to get it.
If these Hubbard folk had the "buy
it at home idea" driled into them,
they wouldn't have patronized the
imaginary California university, and
they wouldn't have been out good
money. Nor would they have been
looking so urgently for the man who
"stung'' them. There are many
reasons why home industry should be
supported, even in the matter of ob
taining knowledge and the sad Hub
bard episode is a pretty good story
with a moral. And the moral is:
"Buy it at home."
NEW PLACE POPULAR
County Seat's Latest Restaurant
Takes Fancy of Most People
Over two hundred hungry people
ate lunch in Ex-Sheriff E. T. Mass's
new restaurant and hotel in Oregon
City Saturday, when it opened with
an orchestra of music and lots of
good things to eat, tastefully served
In fact so great was the rush to get
into the new place that at times the
sidewalk was blocked with those wait
ing for places at the tables. People
who got in found a neatly decorated
room, good service, fine cooking and
moderate prices. This combination,
together with the fact that the res
taurant is most centrally located,
make it appear as if the ex-sheriff had
struck a gold mine in his new ven
ture. The hotel and restaurant, which oc
cupy the quarters formerly operated
as the Brunswick, . are modern and
up-to-date in every way. The hotel
part of the combination has been new
ly furnished and decorated, and al
ready many permanent lodgers have
taken up their quarters therein. Mu
sic will be a more or less regular
feature in the restaurant, Mr. Mass
having made arrangements for piano
forte selections during the noon and
evening hours.

Oregon
Marines in Haiti Want To Hear from
American Girls
When the United States Marine
Corps forces, now occupying the towns
and cities of Haiti after a sharp
brush with the Cacos, learned that a
number of Atlanta's fairest daugh
ters were banded together for the pur
pose of adopting lonesome and for
lorn European soldiers, and would
write letters of cheer, sympathy and
love to their warring wards, they be
came a trifle peeved to say the least.
The Marines are perfectly willing
to admit that "none but the brave
deserve the fair," but they want to
delve deeper into the copybook maxim
thing, and add: "America first" and
"let charity begin at home.'-'
And furthermore, Uncle Sam's "sea
soldiers" do not propose to have their
own little "two by four" Haitian war
overshadowed by the immeasurable
conflict raging across the ocean, and.
so have written to the editor of the
'Constitution" pointing out the injus
tice of the thing, in the hope that he,
or some other editor who may chance
to read their plea, will find meat in
it for a scathing, scorching editorial
that will bring the Atlanta girls back
to their senses. Here's the letter:
"Editor, 'Constitution': Having
learned through the wireless press
news that the girls of your city have
so generously and magnanimously
shown their consideration for the for
saken and lonesome European soldiers
by adopting these soldiers and send
ing them love and letters, we wish to
ask you to tell the fair daughters of
Atlanta through the columns of your
paper that there are some of their
own down in Haiti who are ready and
willing to be adopted, and would wel
come and appreciate such' adoption.
"Please tell them, also, that, while
there is no trench warfare here, and
no asphyxiating gases, that we are
lonesome and even a postal from the
hands of a fair American . would
brighten a tedious and irksome life in
the tropics. Also, Mr. Editor, it
looks as though the colored brethren
down here wouldn't be able to take
over the reins of their government in
less than two years, and we'll have to
stay right here on the job.
"The more we roam around the
world, the more truly do we love, the
prouder we are of the American girl
the finest, fairest, dearest and sweet
est in the world. God bless her.
When we see her turning to the sol
diers of Europe, it makes us beg for
consideration. Let charity begin at
home.
"Yours truly,
"The U. S. MARINES,
"Third Company, First Brigade, U.
S. Expeditionary Forces, Port-Au-Prince,
Haiti.'',
WHEN WAS HE HERE?
Reader of the Courier Says Walt Ma
son Must Have Visited City
Editor, Courier: The other day I
saw the following in a daily paper,
and after reading it I came to the
conclusion that Walt Mason, its au
thor, must have visited Oregon City
at some time. Probably after read
ing it you will see why I think so.
F. H. T.
The Walt Mason "poem" sent with
the letter is as follows:
"I often buy gold bricks by mail; in
fact, I'm always sending kale to fak
ers here and fakers there, and rain
bow dealers everywhere. I've blown
myself for bogus ore, and orange
groves on Greenlands shore, and
meerschaum mines and moonlight
plants, ginseng and rubber elephants.
The fakers get me in their snares, and
sell me wind and Belgian hares. But
when my fellow-townsmen talk, and
ask me to invest in stock to help some
local enterprise, I am conservative and
wise. "Nay, nay," I cry, "your boost
ing schemes are merely wild and
wooly dreams. I cannot spend my
hard earned dough to help me make
this village grow. Your schemes
would yield but six per cent, which
fills my soul with discontent. I want
to see my wealth increase hand over
hand, and never cease, so I'll buy
ice in Hudson's Bay, and mines a mil
lion miles away, and wireless stock
and pickled snakes and gravel pits
and other fakes." I think my view is
safe and sane, yet people say I give
them pain, and now and then a va
grant egg breaks on my bosom or my
leg, and now and then a long dead cat
comes up and hits me on the hat.
Walt Mason."
CHEAP SHOES HURT MANY
Investigation Shows Poor Footgear is
Crippling Workers
Little old Manhattan is flat-footed,
wears poor shoes and stands up at its
work, according to figures compiled
by Captain Frank E. Evans of the
local recruiting office of the United
States Marine Corps.
Captain Evans is authority for the
statement that approximately 18 per
cent of all applicants who applied for
enlistment in the Marine Corps at its
Twenty-third Street office during the
past year, were rejected for "pes
planus," or flat-foot. He puts the
blame on the cheaply constructed,
poorly made shoes the verage toiler
wears at his work for the epidemic of
faling arch, and on the fact that the
majority of victims claimed they were
forced to stand on their feet for long
stretches while at their employment.
Motormen, conductors, subway
guards, policemen, machinists, waiters
and clerks are the principal sufferers
from "pes planus,'' Captain Evans
says.
West Linn Tax Levy
West Linn's tax levy for next year
will be 7 mills, of which sum five
mills will be used to pay interest up
on the $200,000 water bonds, by
means of which the neighboring city
will pay for its share of Oregon City's
new mountain water supply. West
Linn once made the proud boast that
it could run its affairs and never go
beyond a three-mill levy. But that
was before the days of pure water.

PLAN ARITHMETIC TESTS
Competitions between Pupils of Coun
ty Schools Planned for Winter
Declaring that he believes tests in
arithmetic will be more valuable to
the pupils than the "spelling bees"
held in former years, County bchool
Superintendent Calavan has outlined
a series of competitive drills in arith
metic. Spelling will still be drilled
among the pupils, but no open "bees"
will be held.
In the arithmetic tests all pupils
acquiring an average grade of sO will
be invited to join in competitions with
pupils from other schools, and the
winners in these tests will finally
meet in a test which will decide the
best figurer in the county. In mak
ing this change Mr. Calavan has sent
a circular letter to teachers, in which
he says that he thinks it is necessary
at this time to emphasize more strong
ly the study of arithmetic.
WAR ON CIGARETTES
School Children and Others to be En
listed in Campaign
Naughty boys who persist in smok
ing cigarettes will be deprived of the
pleasure of associating with local
highschool girls if the Women's
Christian Temperance Union has its
way. A campaign" to discourage the
use of "pills'" by boys and young men
has been started by the W. C. T. U.,
and one of the penalties of their use
will be social ostracism. This was
agreed upon at a meeting held last
week in the Baptist church.
The W. C. T. U. will also award
prizes for the best essays on the ef
fect of liquor and tobacco on the hu
man system and it is expected that
many will take, for their subjects, the
effect of tobacco on the system. Sev
enty-five were present at the meet
ing, including a large number of
teachers from Oregon City and sur
rounding towns. Rev. J. K. Hawkins,
of the Methodist church, was one of
the speakers of the afternoon.
SCHOOL RECORD GOOD
Clackamas County Attendance is 90.7
Percent, Says Calavan
Children of Clackamas county are
desirous of getting all the education
they can, it appears, for County Su
perintendent Calavan this week an
nounced that attendance records at
the 135 schools of the county show
that 96.7 percent of the enrolled pu
pils have been on hand every day
from the opening of the school year
Five schools made perfect records
for the first month of the fall term,
and had no absent pupils at all
These banner schools are Meadow-
brook, Dickey Prairie, Liberal, New
Era, Falls View. Mr. Calavan will
make monthly averages showing the
percentage of attendance month by
month.

Instructions of Judge to Inquisitors
Taken by those Hearing Trial
When W. P. Roberts started his
suit, against Donald Bodley in the cir
cuit court this week, on an appeal
from Justice Pomeroy's court at San
dy, there were twelve men in the jury
box. Roberts had got the better of
the case in the Sandy justice court,
and the matter, which had to do with
a horse trade, was . carried into the
higher court by Bodley. The trial
had progressed rlearly to its conclus
ion when Judge Campbell adjourned
the case for five minutes to receive
and swear in the new grand jury.
During this proceeding the jury in
the Roberts-Bodley case sat still and
looked on. Also at the same time the
civil government class from the Ore
gon City highschool came in to see
how a grand jury looked. After the
grand jury had beens worn and in
structed as to the manner of their
behavior, Judge Campbell told them
they could go, and would not need to
report again until notified by the
court.
The civil government class and the
grand jurors rose and walked out, and
two of the jurors in the case at trial
did likewise. When Judge Campbell
ended the recess, these two jurors
were missed. For a few minutse
there was consternation, as it ap
peared tha-. the trial would have to be
done all over again, but attorneys for
the plaintiff and defendant solved the
difficulty by saying they were willing
to leave the case in the hands of the
ten men still remaining on the job.
Judge Campbell agreed to this if
eight of the jurors would find for the
same verdict.
The case went to the
ight of them at least f had ,
ind, for the decision of the I
ury, and e;
the same mind,
ustice court was reversed, and judg
ment was given for the defendant.
Whether Roberts will appeal now,
on the ground that some of the jury
disappeared, remains to be seen.
LODER LEARNS HOW
Chris Hartman Shows Best Method of
Emptying Keg of Beer
"My, that looks easy,'' was the
comment of Recorder John Loder in
(he city jail last Friday afternoon,
when Chris Hartman demonstrated
the approved method of emptying a
keg of beer. Mr. Hartman had been
summoned by Chief Shaw to officiate
at a little "tea-party," and the ease
with which he got a tight wooden
plug out of the bunghole in the keg
astounded everybody present.
The occasion was another of the
occasional "confiscations" that are
held whenever the supply of booze in
the city jail gets large enough. Since
the Jones anti-booze law went into ef
fect several such gatherings have
been held, always with Chief Shaw as
official host. Friday's contribution to
the sewer included the contents of an
eight-gallon keg of beer, a flask of
whiskey and a flask of ethyl alcohol.
Prisoners in the jail. watched the pro
ceedings with thirsty interest. -
IT HAPPENED IN CANBY
Mailbag Gets Chewed up under Grind
ing Wheels of "No-stop" Train
Last Sunday morning as the north
bound overland mail train coming
from San Francisco was passing thru
town, the mail clerk instead of throw
ing the mail bag gave it a light kick
and landed it too close to the fast mov
ing wheels of the train which caught
it and was dragged along for several
hundred feet before it was caught in
the switch below the depot. The son
tents of the bag which was second
class matter, were ground to pieces
and scattered along the track. Among
the contents of the bag were Sunday
morning papers, advertisements and
a large bunch of Sears & Sawbuck
catalogues which were ground to pulp.
Ex-postmaster Knight and assistant
depot agent McClure gathered up the
ill fated remains. (Canby Herald.)

at Salem. It is more important to
Marion county than any half dozen
other county officials. It can be fill
ed by no man of small ability. When
we have a good man in the position
we should keep him, and if the Marion
county commissioners do their duty to
the farmer, the office will be continu
ed and properly supported. Mr.
Chapin, the present county agricul
turist, has done efficient work. He
has shown hundreds of farmers that
corn can be grown profitably here.
Since he began his work, corn acreage -has
increased twenty-five fold. This '
alone has repaid many times the cost
of the office. But his work for clover ,
and potato farmers has been very :
valuable, and his drainage work prom
ises to be still more valuable. Few :
Aurora farmers have availed them
selves of his aid until this season.
But those who have done so believe
in his work thoroughly, and consider
the cost of the office as the most un
important thing connected with it.
