2 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1916, News of the County and Suburbs Local and County Items of Interest to Our Readers CHERRYVILLE We're "Marching" on! Stormy March is doing business at the old stand. Perhaps althought the weather is storm at the first of the month better days are coming later on. Mr. Wrenn. who has been keeping store at Logan, moved out to his bungalow store above Brightwood the first of the month. Some people say farming does not pay in Oregon, but it will if rightly conducted. The Anderson family, near Eagle Creek, sold last year, oft their farm of 100 acres v(about 80 acres cleared over $1100 worth of potatoes; nearly $300 worth of hops; have now 25 tons of hay to sell and 28 big fat hogs, besides selling some poultry, butter, eggs and fruit. These people have made this farm out of the woods less than 20 years ago, and are in a fair way to become wealthy on an Oregon farm. It is wonderful to what a remark sV.e extent the dairy business has been developed, or rather the pro ductivity of the dairy cow. The holder of the world's record is now a Holstein, which produced 7.29 pounds of butter in one day and 44.51 pounds in one week. A perfect furore has set in for sheep raising, as the price is con stantly advancing, and some predict 50 cents a pound. Mutton is higher than a cat's back and any price can be obtained for sheep. Thousands of acres of unused land brush land can be utilized for sheep as they browse nearly as good as goats and are far more profitable. Help! Murder! Fire on the Moun tains! Blue Ruin! Socialism! Anar chy! The Government owns and operates railroads in Arizona, Pana ma Canal Zone and Idaho; and is building one in Alaska. And, more than that, Borah's bill for a commis sion to inquire into the government owning and operating all the rail roads is reported favorably out of the Senate . Heavens! Can such things be possible and not overcome us like summer cloud! Yes, and the beauty of it is this: government-owned railroads lost less by half than other railroads in this country. They are far better managed, yield a handsome revenue, and there are no strikes. Thirty-five years ago Bismarck took over the railroads in Germany and out of the earnings the government has paid for them and has probably or rather had one of the finest sys tems in the world. Representative Hawley has made but one effort so far presented in the Record this session of any length and that was something that his grandfather told him about early days in Oregon and Indian warfare. What has that to- do with present day problems? Last summer he was around dispensing hot-air to the farmers about Rural Credits. Now, when asked what was the most im portant legislation for Oregon said improving the mouth of the Colum bia and our waterway, and did not give Rural Credits even second or third place in his idea of important legislation for Oregon. R. L. Holman and T. P. Randall, Leading Undertakers, Fifth and Main St.) Telephones: Pacific 415-J; Home of the Molalla Pioneer, gave a mono logue entitled "Dad," and Milton Mil ler, Ben Chindgren and Hub Stone formed a trio that secured several en cores.

It stayed only until Sun day and then the wind began blowing from the Bouthwest. Then came the rain and it is melting the snow fast, and making lots of high water. We hope it will clear up soon because it is close to spring now and the farm ers need nice weather to put in their crops and make garden and plant po tatoes. Last week's concert was such success that plans are being made to repeat the program Sunday evening at the Clarkes M. E. church. At the initial performance G. J.

WHITE PLAGUE LESSENED Steady Battle Against Tuberculosis Bears Cheering Results While the latest report of the Bur eau of the Census shows that in 1914 tuberculosis caused over 10.5 per' cent of all deaths in the registration area of the United States, The National As sociation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis points out in a state ment issued today that the death, rate from this disease is steadily decreas ing, having declined from 200.7 per 100,000 population in 1904 to 14G.8 in 1914. This would indicate, the As sociation claims, that the anti-tuberculosis movement organized in the last ten years is having a marked ef fect, on the mortality of tuberculosis, especially since the death-rate from this disease seems to be declining more repidly than the general death rates from all causes. Commenting on this decrease in the rate from tuberculosis, the Bur eau of the Census says: "As a result of a more general understanding of the laws of health, the importance of fresh air, etc., due in part, no doubt, tp the efforts" of the various societies for the prevention of tuberculosis, there has been a most marked and graLifying decrease during, recent years in the mortality from this scourge of civilization. In only a decade from 1904 to 1914 the death-rate from tuberculosis in all its forms fell from 200.7 to 146.8 per 100,000, the decline being continuous from year to year. This is a drop of more than 25 per cent. ; As an indication of the growtli of the campaign against tuberculosis, The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis shows that in 1905, when the cam paign was dofinitely started, there were in the United States only thirty nine anti-tuberculosis associations, 115 sanatoria and hospitals, twenty special clinics, no open air schools, and not more than 5,000 people ac tively interested in the prevention of this disease. At the close of the year 1915 there were over 1,500 anti-tuberculosis associations, 600 sanatoria and hospitals, 450 dispensaries, 800 open air schools, and over 100,000 people actively interested in the prevention of tuberculosis. Besides this, the fun damental truths that tuberculosis is a communicuble, preventable and cur able disease have been carried into almost every village and hamlet and to millions of men, women and chil dren in a great variety of ways. DOING THEIR DUTY Scores of Oregon City Readers are Learning Duty of the Kidneys To filter the blood is the kidneys' duty. When they fail to do this the kid neys aro weak.

OREGON - , M W W W to M W ' - 1 council listened to a report submitted by Engineer Cobb, of Oregon City, and. took under advisement his sugges tions. Mr. Cobb found the present water system of but little value, Bay ing that the entire plant probably was not worth more than $5,000,and that if it was purchased by the city less than half of it could be used in con nection with a new system. M. J. Lee, owner of the plant, wants $10,000 for it. Mr. Cobb told the Canby council that a new and adequate system could be built for $18,000, and that such a plant would give adequate service and abundant fire protection. Be sides serving all of the main portion of the city west and north of the tracks, extending north to A. Boe's place, and to the fair grounds, it would take in the main section east of the tracks, also extending to the German Evangelical church and cover ing adjacent and intervening territory. This estimate would cover equip ment consisting of 75,000 gallon tank, on a 75-foot tower, a 25 h. p. engine, adequate pumps and a "booster pump" to increase pressure in case of fire, and 35 fire hydrants. HE GAVE IT UP CANBY TALKS WATER of Council Considers Proposition Building $18,000 System In order to keep pace with the growth of the community and the de velopment of its commercial activi ties, the city of Canby finds that it will shortly have to provide a new water system. Last week the Canby Great Problem of Universe Yielded, and also Some Other Things Hounded by a school of blue fish that had followed her 2,500 miles from New Yrk, the U. S. S. "Tennessee" put into Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and un loaded a company of United States Marine Corps recruits last week, ac cording to a letter received by Ser geant Frank Stubbe of the recruiting station of the Murine Corps. "The waves rolled high," one of the recruits wrote Stubbe, "and, f t the first time in my life I realized the bigness of the ocean, the smallness of me, and the minor part I could play in the great scheme of things. Is there a life beyond death, I asked my self? If not, what is the purpose of my being? Why was I ever born? Pondering over this stupendous ques tion I staggered to the rail, and, after awhile, was forced t give the whole thing up together with some trines I had eaten for breakfast. As I let go of my feelings, a big blue fish jumped up out of the water and gazed hungrily into my beautiful blue eyes. He was a handsome fellow and I knew that I'd remember him if I ever saw him again. And sure enough, five days later, as we were entering the harbor of Port-au-Prince, and while I was again meditating on the philos ophy of life, that same blue fish jump ed up out of the water as if to' de vour my inmost thoughts. It seems that a school of them followed us all the way down to Haiti because of the recruits aboard who had never before been to sea." "Some piscatorial embroidery," was Stubbe's comment on the letter. sanction the movement, the Atlanta Marine High School will be the first in the United States. , The United States Marine Corps has no reserves, and, in time of war, could have the assistance of only one company of marine militia from Mas sachusetts. The students are de lighted at the prospect of training for "soldiers and sailors too." Take This for Lagrippe Coughs The danger of lagrippe lies in its tendency to develop pneumonia, and the March death record from pneu monia is appalling. Stop your cold before it reaches the danger point, and take Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound. Mr. W. P. Bowen, Jimps, Go., writes: "I had a terrible attack of lo grippe, aches and pains all over my body and a dry hacking lagrippe cough. I began taking Foley's Honey and Tar and when O had taken one bottle my cough was cured, my cold was well. Jones Drug Co. BOYS LIKE MARINES R. L. Holman and T. P. Randall, Leading Undertakers, Fifth and Main St.; Telephones: Pacific 415-J; Home i Milwaukie to Buy . By a vote of 170 to 72, citizens of Milwaukie last Saturday voted to pur chase the plant of the Milwaukie Water company for $5,500, and to levy a speical two mill tax to take care of the outlay. With the two-mill levy for the purchase of one of the old water companies, Milwaukie's levy for the ensuing year will be 12 mills. Youths Want to Train so They May Be Reserves for Sea Soldiers Students of one of the high schools in this state signified willingness to take up military training voluntarily, at a preparedness discussion recently, and informed Governor E.
