NION.Slfc.TL A BEL Shekiff Shaver is all "swelled up.? The Courier last week gave him first page prominence in dishing ip its weekly roast. mi the ratification of the Panama treaty by the Uni'ed States senate, there will probably be no fur ther delay in constructing the Isthmian canal. Since the canal will in its course in all probability penetrate a mountain range there will be engineering difficul ties to overcome in its construo ion that will make the cost of building the canal enormous. But the ad Tantages to the Pacific coast commercial interests alone will perhaps justify the expenditure that will be requbed. Ik the management of the Portland Woolen Mills, recently burned at Sellwood, decides to rebuild at ome other point, an effort will be made by Harvey I. Cross to secure the mills for this city. That is, a ite on the Clackamas river, abou two miles north of this city and on the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad has been offered. An investigation has shown that w ith a 12 foot head, a minimum horse power of 1 10S can be obtained. This power is sutlicient to op crate three such mills as those of the Oregon City Manufacturing Company which are the largest on the Coast. It is the intention of the Gladstone Real Es tate Association people to install a dam in the Clack amas river at the point indicated, generate the power and then interest one or more manufacturing enter prises in the situation and induce them to locate at Oregon Citv. .lemonsiratea at tno banquet is not allowed to lapse much good fcr Oregon City and Clackamas county q will be accomplished through this organization. 1 0 uarvey tu. ltoss, me energetic president of the board, has been laboring most faithfully. Ho has always been willing to sacrifice his own time and interests to any movement that had for its purose tho advance ment of the city and the county. Having, evinced this spirit, Mr. Cross is entitled to tho very hearty co-operation of every other business man and public-spirited citizen. The success of the banquet was shared by the mem bers of the different committers, all of whom worked hard. 1 he executive committee, however, consisted of Harvey E. Cross, Grant II. Dimiek and John Adams. Is the discussion of public affairs and the criticism of officials, there should at all times be shown a ppirit of fairness. At the beginning of the campaign on CDUnty affairs the Courier professed a desire to be fair and impartial in its criticisms but it has followed any thing but a consistent course in adhering to that an nounced policy. Instead, it persists in misrepresent ing conditions at the sheriffs office. Last week the Democratic paper made the statement that Sheriff Shaver had nine deputies employed in the tax collect ibg ucpartment. The statement is erroneous and false Lr iiic largest number of deputies the prefent sheriff Las ever had in his office was six. So far as that is concerned, the collection of taxes this year is being made more expeditiously and economically than any other administration in recent years. The Courier sJiuuld be fair and give even the Devil his dues. A Pl'LL TOGETHER. Oregoif City has practically abandoned the project of organizing a baseball team and entering tho Oregon State League. Lack of available fiuauces and thedis inclination ou the part of any representative person to assume the responsibility of the team's management. are aiuuiig the excuses assigned for failing t form a local team. As amatter of fact the old time contention between the North and South ends of the city asserted itself in tins controversy as it does in every question that arises, pertaining to the general welfare of the city. Because the ball games under the schedule proposed might be played at Canemah Park, the residents of the North end of the city would not encourage tho movement while the possibility that th games would be pulled off at the park on tho West Side tended to diminish the interest of the South end people in the movement. This is cited as an instance of what hampers the growth in many ways of this community. When the residents of this city can temporarily forget in which section of the city they hold their residence, then and then only can something be accomplished toward up building the city and advancing its interests. Speak ers at the business men's banquet emphasized the need of co-operation and persistent effort on the part of all people of a community if anything is to be gained. It is to be regretted that Oregon City is not to have A . 1 .1 . .. a learn entered in tlie state liaseball League this summer. In a business way it would have been good thing for every interest that is represented at Oregon City. V ith an interesting schedule of game nere every week during the baseball season it would have been the means of not only keeping a large num ber of local people at home who now seek recreation elsewhere, but would attract hundreds of visitors to this city weekly.

Commenting on a suit recently brought by a maiden against her fiance for breach of promise, by which she recovered three thousarftl dollars, "An Old Maid" of New York says: "At the trial the plaintiffs diary was produced which showed the remarkable entry of 1,243 kisses having been bestowed during the court ship. How was such a record kept? Was the diary worn as a chatelaine, and after each osculation did the blushing damsel toy carelessly with the pendant pen cil and succeed in making some sort of mark which was ultimately to confront the unsuspecting fiance in court? Or did the kisses keep tally by the dozen, and after twelve kisses had been delivered to the kissee by the kisser, did she coyly excuse herself on the plea of rearranging ber hair, and seize the opportunity to mark "1 doz." in her diary under the correct date? Then there ia another point to be considered. By a little division the multiplication seems to have been previously attended to it will be seen that if 1,243 kisses are worth $3,000, one kiss would be worth $2.41 and a fiction. Is this the legal value of a kiss in . ny part of tbe country, or simply in the Saratoga jurisdiction of tie supreme court? Upon this decision a new field of industry might be opened up for the 'mew woman;' also fresh laurels to be won by any one inventing an unerring comptometer for unobserved MLt on the scene of operations." BANQUET 'WAS A SUCCESS. Success crowned the efforts of the Oregon City oard of Trade at its Merchants' and Business Men's Vanquet at Willamette hall last Wednesday night. Oif hundred and thirty of the prominent business aid professional men of the city participated at the ELECTRICITY FOB SWISS RAILWAYS. The Swiss government is considering the advisabil ity of substituting electricity for steam as a motive power on all the railroads of that country. The prop osition now under consideration is the utilization of the abundant waterfall power of Switzerland to gen erate the electrical power necessary to operate the five main railroads which are owned and operated by the government, Careful consideration is being given the matter, because of a report of Mr. Thormann, a prominent Swiss engineer, to the effect that the project is entirely feasible. In going this far Mr. Thormann takes a much bolder stand than the eminent nm. neers or this and other countries, who are not read to say whether electricity can be made to do tho work of American steam railroads. Engineers in this coun try are generally of the opinion that if practicable the substitution would entail such added expense that it would not be warranted. . In this respect Mr. Thormann does not agree for after stating that the substitution of electricity for steam is quite practicable and that it would result in many advantages, he adds only on the subject of ex pense that "it would not bring about any considera ble reduction in the cost of operating the road." This implies that the cost would at least be no greater than that of steam, whereas the added cost has been one of the main obstacles operating here against elec tricity in its battle with steam. The Swiss engineer's investigation was made on account of the fast in creasing oost of coal, which is low imported for rail road use. He states that the five main Swiss roads would require over 30,000 horse power daily, and that in order to organize a complete electrical service it would be neceBsary to obtain about 00,000 horse pow er in the form of the alteranating current of high ten sion, not counting the reserve supply, which is indispensable.
