Forward! Construction! A New
Bridge!
As the spectacular leap of an ath
lete is propelled by a lunge, from be
hind the line,' so every great effort
must be backed up by thorough prep
aration. The only noticeable action
on bridge construction for many
weeks ha3 been the steady avalanche
of gravel and sand slipping down the
chutes from trucks on the bed of the
old bridge into giant heaps beside the
concrete mixers. During that inter
val, steel has been moving this way,
however slowly and haltingly is pro
gress may have been, and as this most
necessary commodity heaves in sight
the engineers are eager to resume the
battle.
It is going to be a magnificent struc
ture this splendid bridge of ours as
its imposing spans the wild and imper
ious Willamette right here at our
very door. What a wonderful sight
it will be to tourists rolling over the
Pacific highway that first glimpse
of its graceful form enfolded in such
a charming environment of grand and
rjigged nature and accompanied by
such lively scenes of industrial activi
ty. A boat laden with paper for the
world's market goes sailing under its
proud arch and a commercial plane,
flying over the valley course, drops
down over its pinnacle for a landing.
There will be a sense of pride felt
by the whole community in associat
ing with a structure like this, which
is quite theproper idea.
The oftener we allow the spirit of
liberality and beauty to be built into
the fabric of our public utilities, the
more open minded will our citizenship
become. No engineer originally de
signs a project to be cheap and shab
by. He prides himself on great
breadth of thought and beauty. Mod
jeski, the master bridge constructor,
reflects thus: "Nothing is ever done
well enough until it is done right."
We are going to have a marvelous
bridge and we are glad.
Some Features of Fire Proof
Construction.
Passers-by who happened to take a
glance into the new Bank of Com
merce building last week when the
contractors were drying it out, saw a
fairly good demonstration of how it
pays to build with concrete. Large
sheet-iron containers were set up on
the floors, these were piled with trash
wood, a match applied and away they
went. The flames leaped high and
it is a safe guess that the big damp
building received the benefit of all
the heat that was generated. So far
there has been no inflamable mater
ial introduced and the job seems to
be about done. Of course there witf
probably be a minimum amount of
wood finishing but the building has
fairly earned the title of "Absolutely
. Fire-Proof."
In a city of frame buildings and fire
hazards it would seem that there
would be quite a sense of security '
in occupying a space in the new Bank
of Commerce building.
If it were not for destroying the
delicate finish, any undesirable ten
ant could be smoked out without the
other tenants knowing anything about
it. People who have money to burn
could touch it off down on the main
bank floor and the office tenants
above would never dream of the tra
gedy going on below them. The
point is that a real conflagration there
is impossible. The Bank is immune
both from their own chance careless
ness and from the blunders of others.
In defiance of time, this building
will stand as long as stone rests upon
stone, unless overturned by superna
tural chaos. Even then there would
be portions of its scarred battlements
pointing to the sky in mute tribute to
its designers and builders. Oregon
City is known as a fairly ancient city
as far as western American history
goes, but our posterity will mingle
with a far more substantial remains
of antiquity than the crumbling ruins
which we associate with today.
A Delightful Work of Art.
Mr. Willard P. Hawley, Jr., is the
proud possessor of a most unique and
strikingly realistic piece of art work.
The article referred to is a miniature
hand painting of Mr. Hawley's little
daughter, Eva Adele, produced by the
noted artist, P. Phillips, of New York
City, who is the pupil of a celebrated
English master. Mr. Hawley fondly
shows this little token to his friends,
sometimes enlarged by the aid of a
powerful glass, which seems to en
hance, rather than to disintegrate, the
life like characteristics so truthfully
portrayed by the artist. Perhaps the
most noticeable feature of the execu
tion is the strand of fair golden hair,
the curls of which snuggle up under
a quaint little, bonnet and 'lend a
sparkle to the sweet baby face be
neath. Composition, pose, expression
texture, lighting and all combine to
proclaim it a masterful production.
The general effect is one of mo
dest simplicity the painting being
unobtrusively framed in subdued me
tal tones but resting on a rich fabric
background which serves as a recept
acle and upon being opened and un
folded, assumes the form of an easel
upon which the picture is displayed.
A certain remarkable impression of
transparent brilliancy is caused by the
base upon which the work is executed,
which is pure sheet ivory. One oth
er feature in producing the above
mentioned effect is the fearless man-

ner in which the artist has employed
his color. It could not be said that
the colors are pale, and if the artist
had not been sure that his colors were
true, he would not have dared to
come right out with them with no at
tempt at apology for their presence. It
is only one other case where a man
has dared to tell the truth when he is
positive of his subject It is all in
the training of a mind to see what is
right. '
Mr. Hawley is to be congratulated
upon the possession of so rare a trea
sure which, we dare to predict, will
become more dear to him as the years
speed by. The delightful astonishment
which this picture inspires could not
be increased by the mere mention of
its cost, but we assure the reader that
it has value in every sense.
The Wonderful Thing
The most wonderful thing is man
the genuine essence of him just as na
ture fashioned him. As we are or
dinarily surprised at the thing we sel
dom witness, it is a fact that pure,
undiluted mankind is so little in evi
dence that it is positively the real
wonder of the day. Civilization
cheats us out of the deepest yearnings
of our hearts and propriety literally
strangles the magnificent impulses
that are generated within our God
given souls. Men let circumstances
and other men order their affairs for
the very sufficient reason that en
terprise must succeed; personal de
sires must stand back for the good
of the cause.
In that powerfully human chronicle,
"The Little Minister," the pastor of
the Auld Leicht Kirk is confronted
with the impropriety of associating
with an Egyptian woman of a wander
ing disposition; he replies that "Any
minister could well be proud to claim
such a woman as his wife.'' The
little man arises to the height of his
glorious manhood, in thus defending
the woman of his choice, because he
knows that her sterling qualities are
even in excess of his own and he
dares to place character above repute
and propriety.
I once had occasion to submit a
piece of work to the judgment of two
men. One was an expert and he in
timated that it might pass. The
other was a mere man but he happen
ed to be owner of the establishment
interested, and his unstinted praise
and hearty acceptance left no doubt
about the force of his intentions.
It is not my intention to depreciate
the true and tried man of affairs who
overcomes his own vagaries and mas
terfully directs every contributing el
ement toward success. This is a far
more difficult task than following
one's inclinations. But herein I be
lieve my contention proven that the
real wonderful thing is the actual na
ture tendency of any person, when it
is right enough to manifest itself, re
gardless of circumstances.
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Happenings of Interest
in the Oregon City High
as Told by Its Students
Stereopticon pictures, portrtyins
the life and deeds of Joan of Arc, were
shown at our student assembly on
Friday afternoon, January 13. The
pictures weer unusually interesting to
many of the students because of the
fact that! the classes in Mediaeval his
tory have just completed the study of
that period in the history of France
which the "Maid of Orleans" helped
to make famous. Eula Davis, a mem
ber of the history class gave an origin
al composition on the life or Joan of
Arc. Miss Charlotte Patterson, the
teacher of Mediaeval history explain
ed the pictures as they were thrown
upon the screen.
Work on the Hesperian, our annual
publication is getting nicely started.
The following students have been
chosen to hold positions on the staff.
Editor, Bud Baxter; assistant edi
tor, Alice Kraeft; literary editor, Gor
don Hannaford; business manager, Pe

tion manager, Ryle Reddick; fresh
men subscription manager, Roland
Wilson; senior editor, Elizabeth
Krause; junior editor, Helen Tooze;
sophomore editor John Lehman; fresh
men editor, Agnes Petzold; dramatic
editor, Mary Kessi.
An event which is being looked for
ward to with great interest on the
part of the Juniors and their friends
is an "Apron and Overall" party to
be given on February 17th. The fol
lowing students are in charge: Albert
Grossenbacher, Lorena Jack, Helen
Harris, Mable Dawson. The Juniors
vow that this is to be the best party
of the year.
Miss Hazel Strief, teacher in domes
tic science, has prepared some very
interesting statistics concerning our
high school cafeteria.. Taking the
average of four representative days in
January it was found that 26 boys
and 65 girls patronized the cafeteria
every day. The boys spend a total
of ?5.50 each day and the girls $9.20.
The average cost of each boy's meal
is 20 cents and the average girl spends
14 cents. Miss Strief tells us that
the days for which the average was
taken were bright days and that the
attendance on stormy days is much

Oregon City high school basketball
team lost its first game of the season
to Milwaukie high Friday night, Jan
uary 20, by a score of 23 to 6.
As this was the first interschooJ
athletic event ever held in the school's
new ?35,000 gymnasium which was
just completed a few months ago,
the local boys had their hearts set on
winning so as to initiate the new build
ing in a proper and befitting manner.
Although the Milwaukie boys won
by a considerable score, Oregon City,
by no means laid down on the job.
The game was fast and furious from
the word go, but the superiou basket
shooting and teamwork of the strang
ers soon put them in the lead and
kept them there.
This is Oregon City's first attempt
at a basketball team for nearly five
years as they have had no place to
practice and much credit is due the
coach, Mr. King, for the showing the
boys made, as none of them had pre
vious training or practice prior to
this year, and those who have played
the game know that basketball is not
learned over night
The feature of the evening was two
preliminary wrestling matches by
students and the stirring class yell
led by George Tatro, yell leader.
Mid term examinations have been
worrying the poor down trodden stu
dents the past week and anxious par
ents have been wondering what has
come over their suddenly ambitiuos
children as they keep the home fires
burning into the wee small hours of
the night. This, however, does not
apply to those super-angelic, brain fev
er stricken students who have suc
ceeded in convincing their teachers
that they have warranted 95 in de
portment, above 90 in all their grades
and have never been tardy or inex
cusably absent. "For them no more the
blazing hearth need burn."
Sign These Petitions and Help
Petitions urging the president .and
congress to use the influence of this
country with European' nations , to
stop the massacres in Armenia are in
circulation in this city and are being
signed by practically everyone given,
the opportunity. These petitions in
charge of L. Adams, O. D. Eby and F.
J. Tooze as Live Wire committee will
be in the churches on Sunday morn
ing where those present are urged
to sign them. The local P. E. O.
chapter, the Woman's Club and the
Live Wires have already signed them
unanimously.
