2 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1913. News of the County and Suburbs Local and County Items of Interest, to Our Readers CHERRYVILLE This certainly IS the rainy sea son. No snow yet at this altitude and that which fell up above here, is gone at this writing. About so much rain is due in Ore gon every year, and what comes now will mean better weather later on. The Governor appears to be in a quandry about the capacity of the penitentiary as it is full now and more coming. We know what to do with the excess. Give them work and a chance to live, and they would not crowd into the penitentiary. Many of them steal a little trifling article in order to get a short term, where they will be dry and warm, and have some thing to eat. They are not naturally vicious, says Henry Ford, but it is their environment and the abomin able economic system now prevalent that drives by hunger and desperation to break the law, and this state of things will get worse instead of bet ter under the statesmanship of the old stand-patters. The re-actionar-ies know this and want to increase our army to 400,000 men in time of peace, so that they can keep down the starving poor in our cities.- The Courier is right about the "fat heads," who are in control at Port land and who are keeping it back in a race for supremacy with other coast cities. People must have work and a city must have manufacturies for its laboring class if they want to make any progress. It is the most amaz ing stupidity in this world for a city with $20,000,000 idle money in its banks with the best chance in the world for establishing factories in the world before them. Water power without end, raw material on every hand and idle men and women every where asking for a job. There is an unlimited demand for clothes pins, and here is the best material in the world our alder to make them, and here are countless millions of cedar logs and stubs all around us and a great demand for cedar coffins, cedar cheats and other articles to be made of cedar. The writer has known several promising cities and towns to have been killed by a bunch of tight-wads, who want to do nothing but loan money on high-class security at a ruinous rate of interest and every man that they got their ravenous claws on was literally torn to pieces. These man-eaters exist everywhere, and they are nothing but commercial cannibals. HINTS FOR MANIACS Railroad Engineer and Speed Demon Get Together and Compare Notes "You don't realize what a ner vous strain you are putting on a man in the cab," said a Southern Pacific locomotive engineer the other day to an Ashland automobile driver, "when you dash up toward a crossing just ahead of his train. There he is in his cab and he knows that he can't stop his engine. There you are in your automobile speeding toward the crossing just ahead. You probably know that you are going to stop just at the edge of the track and look up and laugh at him. He doesn't. He doesn't know that you even see the train. He doesn't know but hat you are going to try to dash across ahead of him. It's a joke maybe to you To him it's a few seconds of the most intense agony. Why do you do it? When you see a train coming and know that you can't make the cross ing and don't intend to try and make it why don't you slow down and give the engineer the assurance that his train is not about to hurl you into eternity?" "I never thought of it in that light," said the auto man. "I guess we do those things in a spirit of devil try. I can tell you one thing, though. I'm never going to harrow up an other engineer's nerves.'' "I wish they d all quit it," said the railroad man, "it happens a dozen times a day." CITROLAX Best thing for constipation, sour stomach, lazy liver and sluggish bow els. Stops a sick headache almost at once. Gives a most thorough and sat isfactory flushing no pain, no nau sea. Keeps your system cleansed, sweet and wholesome. R. H. Wei hecht, Salt Lake City, Utah, writes: "I find Citrolax the best laxative I ever used. Does not gripe no un pleasant after-effects." Jones Drug Co. "Printing with a punch" at the Courier. AFTER GRIPPE Mrs.FMley Made Strong By Vinol Severv. Kans. "The Grippe left me in a weak, nervous, run-down condition. I was too weak to do my nousewom and The law of eminent domain pro- medicines without benefitVinol restored WHAT'S IN A NAME "Thieves' Market" Isn't What It Sounds Like, Says Officer The so-called thieves' market in San Luis Potosi is one of the curious and characteristic institutions of the .city. It consists of a series of small booths along the side of the public market: in these booths every article known to the hardware, plumbing, and novel ty trades may be found at second hand in every conceivable state of preservation or decay. The name o'f the market is no reflection upon, the proprietors nor upon their patrons, but is an implication that thieves sell in this market their miscellaneous plun der. Here are found tools and imple ments, knives and pistols, plow points, door knobs, bottles, hinges, valves and elbows, chain, bridle bits, razors, re ligious books from the old Barcelona press, cheap jewelry, and occasionally odd pieces of table silver. In fact, any bit of portable and nonperishable merchandise may be bought or sold in the thieves' market. It constitutes a serious competition for the hard ware stores, for if the householder finds himself in need of a door knocker a hinge, or a pane of glass, his first resort is to this market. Many parts of implements from the plantations hnd their way to this market. The proprietors are said to deal in more valuable goods, such as precious stones and metals, but these are not shown to the public nor offered to strangers. Antique pieces of brass work, china, and silver may sometimes be found, but these should be purchas ed with the customary caution. There are no fixed prices. The dealer gets what he can, depending largely upon the patience of the cus tomer. The pawnshops turn over to this market cheap articles in hardware and jewelry which are not redeemed or sold at auction. Carpenters and cabinetmakers find here their odd pieces for repair work, such as locks and keys, fancy screws and hinges. American goods are sometimes seen, particularly barber's supplies, cheap watches, buttons, and safety razors. Imported articles in San Luis Potosi are always expensive, and articles of metal, even of native manufacture, are relatively high; such articles are not discarded when worn, but find their way to this market and are used again and again. It is a sort of clearing house of commodities. To an extent it supplies the lack of specializ ed stores and prevents waste. NEW SOCIAL MENTOR vides that any private property can be taken for the public good when occasion requires, and the exigensies of the times demand it. The time has come to pass when we must take over some of those swollen fortunes, and Senator Norris, of Neb., has under headway a bill which practically con fiscates fortunes in excess of $5,000 000, and cuts into fortunes of $1,000, 000 or more. MULINO The event of the past week was the wedding of Miss Pearl Erickson to Ted Holliday, engineer for the W. V. S. railway. The happy event occured at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Erickson, on Sunday, Nov. 14th. The bride and groom left on the 4:40 afternoon train for as hort trip to Portland. Their friends assisted them in caring for their luggage to the car and a suit case was deposited in the rack with several large shoes tied to it and the my health, strength and appetite. Vinol IS a granu meuicine turn every wean, nervous, run-down woman should take it" Mrs. Geo. Findley. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and Iron tonic, sharpens the appetite, aids diges tion, enriches the blood, and .builds up natural strength and energy. HUNTLEY BROS. CO. Oregon City Druggists Oregon words "The Newly weds Just Mar ried," chalked in large letters on the side facing the aisle. Mr. and Mrs. Holliday will make their home at Tualatin. The Ladies' club is preparing a play which will be presented at the hall December 10th. "A Case for Sherlock Holmes," is the name of the drama. The first carload of wheat came in over the spur and was unloaded at the mill the past week. It looked rather funny to the old-time residents to see a box car standing by the flour mill.

Portland Railway Light & Power Co. Beaver Building G17 Main Street "RELIABLE SERVICE" "Sheep" and "Goats" Once Again Skillfully Separated Hereabouts Up until the time that Fords be came popular it was quite easy to tell who ere the "real people'' and who were just "common folks.'' Any body who had an automobile belong ed in the "four hundred;" anybody who didn't have one was simply a "person." But with the advent of the Ford, so that everybody could get an automobile, social lines became con fused. Now comes the Rev. J. K. Hawkins, new pastor of the Oregon City Metho dist church, and helps us out of the difficulty that has been bothering so ciul leaders when they made up their invitation lists. The Rev. Dr. Haw kins has picked out 100 people in and about the county seat who really amount to something, and has sent them a neat little card, in which he asks them for their opinions regard ing the dangers that confront man kind in general. The card, which explains itself pretty well, is as follows: Dear Friend: As the new pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, and with a strong desire to practically serve this community, I am writing' one hundred letters to as many interested men and women ask ing them what they consider to be the principal Dangers Which today threat en our Boys and Girls, Our Homes, Our City, and Our Country. Will you kindly suggest Remedies whereby the Dangers may be overcome? And greatly oblige. Thanking you in ad yance for the favor, I am most re spectfully yours, J. K. HAWKINS." It is therefore easy to tell whether you are one of the chosen hundred, or not. If you got a card your standing in the community is one that makes you amount to something. If you didn't get a card, you will know that what you may think about civic and other intimate questions doesn't amount to a hill of beans in mid-win ter. ABOUT OUR TIMBER Forest Service Notes Contain Much Interesting Information The bulk of the railroad ties ex ported from the United States is ship ped to Canada and Mexico. South America ranks third in the receipt of this material. Canada and Mexico also take the load in the amount of shingles receiv ed from the United States. Australia and the Oceanic Islands rank next in the amount of this material received from the United States. Of the total amount of railroad ties exported (luring 1914 (over five mil lion), the State of Washington alone furnished nearly half am illion. According to the latest Forest Ser vice figures, the amount of Douglas fir in the national forests of Washing ton and Oregon is estimated to be 98,(105,000,000 feet. Nearly seventeen million pounds of wood pulp was exported to Europe from the United States during 1914. Canada ranks second, receiving from the United States over seven million pounds. Yew is given the preference over all other American wood in the manu facture of archery bows. This tree occurs in the Coast region from southern Alaska to northern Califor nia. It is also found to some extent in the Cscade Range of Oregon and Washington, and in the mountains of Motann and northern Idaho.

Each plant pro duces one large bulb which- germin ates in the fall and four or five small ones which start growth in the spring. Late fall plowing, followed by early spring plowing and planting the infested land to some clean cultivated crop destroys the wild onion pest by killing both sorts of bulbs as the growth from them appears and be fore they have had a chance to multi ply. The fall plowing should be deep and care should be taken to complete ly bury all green tops of the onion. If very much top growth has been made, a harrow run before the plow will facilitate the thorough covering of" the tops. Another interesting and valuable point about the wild onion is that the spring bulbs rarely produce heads; consequently if the infested land is plowed in the fall, a spring oat crop practically free of onions can always be secured. But for complete eradi cation of the onion, both fall and spring plowing is necessary, and No vember is the best time to do the fall work. "Printing with a punch" at the Courier. There are two types of four breed disease of bees in Oregon, both of which are of a very serious nature. Anyone owning bees, even in a small way, should become thoroughly ac quainted with the diseases and meth ods of their eradication, which have been taken up in a very thorough manner in a circular letter by Pro fessor A. E. Lovett, acting entomol ogist of the Agricultural College. Copies may be had free by writing the College for Entomological circu lar letter No. 12, on bee diseases. Typhoid Fever Controlled Three years ago the field men of the Geographical Survey, as well as some of the office force, took advan tage of the offer of the War Depart ment to supply official antityphoid se rum, and practically the entire force of men was inoculated. Since that time, as far as reported, there has been no serious case of typhoid fever among those inoculated. Two cases of typhoid among the topographic engineers indicate the great effective ness of this inoculation. In both these cases the men simply felt "off feed" for a couple or three days and refused to go on the sick list; in fact typhoid would not have been suspect ed in either case except that in one of them somebody suggested the pos sibility, and an exhaustive hospital examination, blood-test, etc., showed that the engineer had a theoretically well-developed case of typhoid, the practical results of which, however, failed to incapacitate him for duty, so that he did not even go to bed for one day.

OLDER BUT STRONGER To be healthy at seventy, prepare" at forty, is sound advice, because in the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected colds, or careless treat ment of slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years. To be stronger when older, keep your blood pure and rich and active with the strength-building and blood-nourishing properties of Scott's Emulsion which isa food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's. Scott & Bowne, BloomficM, N. J. Discovery of Tubercular Cows at Fairs Displeases Officials That ull Oregon cattle which are sent to county fairs for display are not as they should be, and that there is need for more careful examination of dairy herds, is indicated in a dis patch from the Oregon Agricultural college, which reads as follows: Dr. E. Chase, assistant veterinar ian, has found that cattle brought to fairs in some sections of the state have shown reaction to the tubercular tests. Post mortems were held in some instances and the presence of tubercles actually demonstrated to growers and fair officers. Although the test nas been opposed in some places its need has been clearly shown and those who were shown the value of it are glad that it was required.
