OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1916.
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. . (Paid Adv.)

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

. 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.

EXPERT ON VALUES
OUT FOR ASSESSOR
R. 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.)

ROAD EXPERT SEEKS
COMMISSIONERS
J. W. Reed
Experienced in road and bridge
building, and firm in his belief that
Clackamas county should have better
roads for the money annually expend
ed for highway work, J. W. Reed of
Estacada, announces himself a candi
date for the republican nomination as
county commissioner. Before coming
to this county Mr. Reed was for five
years in charge of the construction of
rock roads in the East, and his work
stands today as a tribute to his skill.
In this county Mr. Reed's most not
able achievements are the construction
of the county wagon bridge at Esta
cada and the railroad bridge at River

Mill station, both of them fine ex
amples of economical and lasting con
struction. In public office Mr. Reed also has
made an enviable record. For six
years he was mayor of Estacada, and
for 12, years served as a member of
the board of education. At the time
of his leaving the board the Estacada
school was acknowledged to be one of
the finest and most efficiently equip
ped in the state.
His wide experience in contracting
and construction work in general fit
him particularly for the commissioner
ship at this time, with the county just
entering upon an era of improvement
and road work. A man skilled in such
work could save many hundreds of
dollars for the taxpayers, and this is
what Mr. Reed hopes to do if honor
ed with nomination and election.

ing club, the Fallsarians, Monday
night decided to make the 1916 sea

lined program will be a "pioneer
days" enterainment, to be given
shortly in the county seat, at which
all the olden-time games of chance
will be operated m full swing, and
people may gamble to their heart's
desire with phony money. Arrange
ments for this entertainment are in
the hands of a committee composed of
J. E. Hedges, T. A. Burke, L. L. Pick
ens, J. A. VanBrakle and H. A. Swaf-
ford.
A. C. Howland, Thomas A. Burke,
Harry E. Williams, C. Schuebel and A.
A. Price were appointed to recruit
the ranks of the Fallsarians, who will
appear in Portland during one of the
rose festival parades. W. A. Hunt
ley, J. E. Hedges and Captain Wil
liams will investigate the purchase of
new hats, and Gilbert L. Hedges, A.
C. Howland, L. Adams and S. O. Dill
man will design an emblem to be
worn on the uniform. T. A. Burke,
