OREGON CITY DAILY.
The first issue of Oregon City's daily
paper will be published next Monday
September 24, by the present editor
and manager of the Enterprise. Neither
praise nor apology in this column will
embarass its start. We know the pub
lic that has extended so liberal sup
port to the yet unborn infant in the
Clackamas county newspaper field,
will judge it as other infants are judg
ed leniently.

WILL STANDARD OIL CONTROL IT?
Preparations are being made by the
Treasury Department and the Depart
ment of Agriculture to issue two vol
umes on denatured alcohol, which will
be received with a great deal of in
terest by almost everybody in the
jcountry. The free alcohol law for
which the country is so large indebted
to Hon. Tom Marshall of North Dakota
will not go into effect until the 1st of
January, and when it does, it will at
first benefit the larger distillers, for
in all probability it will be impossible
for the Bureau of Internal Revenue
to extend the Government inspection
to distilleries turning out less than
BOO gallons of alcohol per day.
However the consumer will get the
benefit of a new and cheap source of
light, heat and power. It is espec
ially in this connection, that the forth
coming pamphlet of the Agricultural
Department will be of very general
interest. The Department has com
missioned Professor Charles Lucke, of
Columbia University, New York, to
study the adaptability of alcohol for
internal combustion engines, such as
are used in boats, automobiles and for
almost innumerable purposes where
small and cheap power plants are nec
essary. It is understood from the first
reports of this investigation, and from
the experiments which have already
been made in Europe, that alcohol will
develop aboout 5 to 8 per cent more
power in an internal combustion en
gine than will gasoline. In addition to
this, it makes a fuel that is more re
sponsive to spark control and the sup
position is that it can be manufactured
cheap enough to compete with petro
leum products as a source of power
and furnish new and profitable crops
to the farmer.
Experiments are now being made by
the Agricultural Department with
what is known as the 'stock potato,"
which is the source from which much
alcohol is manufactured abroad. One
and one-quarter bushels of this pota
to will produce a gallon of alcohol and
the supposition is that this alcohol
can be sold wholesale about as cheap,
if not a little cheaper, than the pre
vailing price of petrol, or motor spirit.
All that there is to be known on the
subject of alcohol, its heating capacity,
its lighting efficiency when burned
with a gas mantle, and it's potentiality
as a power fuel will be included in the
forthcoming bulletin of the Agricul
tural Department. ' There will doubt
less be a large demand for this i work,
and its popularity is likely to more
than repay the Department for all
the ' trouble and expense of getting it
up.
It is interesting in this connection
to note that Standard Oil is bargain
ing for the big distilleries of the coun
try, now under control of the whisky
trust. The latter would make no mean
rival of the Standard and for that rea
son the Standard is willing to buy, as
it would probably be cheaper than an
attempt to crush-so powerful a foe, and
one as unscrupulous as the Standard
itself.
The Standard will not be able to
corner the denatured alcohol market
more than a year or two. The source
of supply is the entire country, not re
stricted to a few small sections like
crude petroleum, and the big octopus
could corner the corn or potato crops
as easily as a product from them that
can be manufactured as cheaply as can
alcohol.
A Potland paper said the other day
that projects for building denatured
alcohol distilleries in this vicinity
were forming and would be in opera
tion by the end of the year.

Paris now comes to the front with
the story of a hay fever victim who
was set to sneezing violently by a pic
ture of a mowing scene. If the Pari
sians are not good we will have to
come back to them with that old 4tory
about all the people in this country
who have been devoured by the blind
tigers.
New York has acquired 692 miles of
improved roads under the $50,000,000
state appropriation, while plans have
been accepted for 1550 miles and work
on 5450 miles is recommended. The
state bears only a part of the cost, so
the prospect of good roads in New
York is excellent.

Frank Piatt says he never yet heard
a patron complain of being overcharg
ed by an express company. Frank
must have sat with his deaf ear to
the telephone a good many times since
he has been drawing wages from
Papa's company.
o
The Commissioner of Patents has
just hired a lot of new clerks to help
catch up with the work. It would be
a fine scheme to hire a new commis
sioner who would not have to hire the
new clerks.
If the energy and time now being
wasted by the Cubans in foolish up
risings and revolutions were, applied
to the tobacco fields the little island
would soon become a nation of stand

If a few more congressmen swear
to 98 cent election expense bills, the
next House will be in danger of being
remembered in history as the Bargain
Counter congress.

Friends of Uncle Joe Cannon are

first great victory of the Republican
party was won with an Illinois candi

A headline in a South Carolina pa

but does not explain whether he was

One branch of literature has been
