WILLIAM J, WILSON STANDS ON RECORD W. J. Wilson Believing that he can make Clacka mas county a model for law enforce ment, and can remove the stain long put upon this county by roadhouses and other resorts , that draw their patronage from the night life of Port land, Sheriff William J. Wilson asks the voters of the county to renominate and re-elect him as the chief peace officer of Clackamas county at the forthcoming election. Mr. Wilson points with pride to the accomplish ments of the sheriff's office while he has been in charge of county affairs, and pledges his word that if continu ed in office he will conduct its business in the same efficient and economical manner as it has been conducted in the past two years. In the collection of taxes Mr. Wil son believes that his office has estab lished a record of which the county should be proud. The work has been kept well in hand, there has been no confusion of figures, and the tax de partment was on such a footing when the county books were experted by J. O. Staats that special comment thereon was made by Mr. Staats Mr. Wilson is the kind of a sheriff that believes in kindness to prisoners, rather than persecution of unfortu nates committed to his care, and dur ing his regime as sheriff men confined in the c'ounty jail have been showh every consideration possible under the circumstances. He has not endeavor ed to i keep, the jail filled,' so that profits might be made from feeding prisoners; and has .'constantly borne 'in 'mind the "cost, of his office' to the taxpayers and .has governed his ac tions accordingly. .

DISTRICT NO. 40 Coast Culvert (Continued on Page 11) t . !-,. ..v -. Si i ; ' - ChA- f I i THE FIRST SKYSCRAPER. It Was Designed by a Savoy Architaot Three Centuries Ago. Credit for the first skyscraper built In this country Is generally conceded to Chicago. It was built lu the "loop dis trict" of that city In 1880. from plans y Holablrd & Roche. The first exam ple of lofty building In New York city was the structure at 50 Broadway, de signed by Bradford Lee Gilbert In 1888. A few years later both these wonders became Insignificant and prac tlcnlly forgotten because they were so greatly outdone by succeeding sky scrapers. But these were not the In itial efforts, for a skyscraper was de signed nearly three centuries ago, many generations hefore the discovery of the steel cage system of this day. Jacques Ferret, an architect - of Chauibery, Savoy, Is the accredited au thor of plans for nu eleven story build ing, 301 feet In height, which must have had twice the space between floors, for today eleven stories are crowded within a height of 150 feet. Ferret's building was planned to be 100 feet long and 140 feet wide, with supporting walls twelve feet thick at the base. While never executed, the project of Ferret In many ways was a remark able prophetic vision. Evidently it was Intended for dwelling purposes, for in describing the project he wrote. "This great and excellent edince can accom modate comfortably 500 people" New York Post . INDELIBLE MARKING. Advantages of Using Just Ordinary Blueprint Solution. There are many occasions upon which it is necessary to mark linen or wearing apparel Indelibly with one's name and address, yet the Ink sold for this purpose Is not always convenient to use or attractive In appearance, says the American Boy. A very good substitute is the ordi nary blueprint powder, sold by any photographic dealer, a thick solution being made and used Just as the ordi nary ink would be. Instead of fixing this by the uso of a hot Iron, it Is made permanent simply by washing In sev eral changes of cold water. When thor oughly fixed the writing will appear in a very pretty shade of blue. Should you prefer, a rubber stamp may be used instead of a pen. In this case a little glycerine should be mixed with the solution, which should he spread upon a clean cloth "or blotter. This Is then. used as an Inking pad for the stamp. , Aside from Its convenience marking with blue nrint solution has thn ndvnn tage that traces of the writing or any biuujs causuu uv it mav ue rpmoven ir desired by the application of a solu- tion or tannin. . Gagadig Gigadab. There was a quaint old man In Man Chester, England, who for many years went by the unique name of Gagadig Gigadab. .His. original name' was John Smith, and for many years he brooded over.the possibilities of. mistaken lden:' tiry .involved in it. ..The name figured frequently In criminal records,"und he became abnormally, apprehensive lest he might be conf used wltb. some of, the. had. John Smiths At last what he feared so much -actually happened. One morning the papers, reported the. arrest of an accountant in a bank for enibezzlement,'aiid throughsome' blun de'r'of the reporter the identity of.the tembezzler was con fused with the sub ject .or tnis article, .who was also n bank accountant ".Then lind there, he determined to assume a name like unto' no other ever borne by mortal man , Arid in "Gagadig Gigadab' most people will agree that' he succeeded in so doing. Excitement. - People who easily 'get excited don't "usually live nearly so long as people who keep calm. Excitement. In fact, wastes the vitality and uffects one's health to a very great extent. This Is 'true, too, of all who seek excitement, whether physical or mental.' Excite raent makes the pulse beat ubove the ordinary rate, and one's reserve of en ergy is used up so much the quicker. Occasional excitement, however, Is very good for one's health, especially where the pulse Is slow, hut the natu ral condition of the body should be one of calmness and regularity. Modern Efficiency.

E. Woodward R. E. Woodward, candidate for the republican nomination as assessor, in coming before the voters at the pri mary election, calls attention to the fact that owing to his many years ex perience in the real estate business he is intimately familiar with realty values in the county. Owing to this he believes that he will be able to truly value land in Clackamas county, and prevent those who might so de sire to secure an unfairly low assess ment of their holdings. In coming before the voters and asking for their endorsement, Mr. Woodward premises that everybody will get a square deal from the asses sor's office if he is elected, and that there will be no favoritism shown to either the powerful interests or the most humble land owner. He will endeavor to conduct his office along the most economical lines, and pledg es his word to render a strict account ing to the taxpayers for all expenses incurred. Mr. Woodward has been a resident of the county for the greater part of his life, and is favorably known wherever he has resided. He has only the best interests of the county at heart, and does not seek office for any personal profit. He will feel honored if the voters give him their support, and will do his utmost in return to repay them for their confidence. With a fair and impartial assessment of the county he believes that the total tax income will be materially increased without placing any extra burden up on the small taxpayer. (Paid Adv.)
