OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Tho advancomont of the standards
of the public schools of our county
coupled with the additional facilities
In the way of now buildings and mod
ern equipment, which Is the subject,
of more than one article in (his week's
edition of our paper, is most gratify
ing to say the least. The Hrst question
that P9 out of every 100 of the new
settlers from the east ask, when In
quiring about property In any locality
Is "How near is the school house and
how many grades do you have?" The
masses are coming to realize more and
more the advantages of a good com
mon school education, including the
four grades that are included in the
high school course. Modern demands
for educated people make it almost
absolutely necessary for every child
to have a good high school education.
It Is a right that should not be de
denied every child that has no desire
or Is unable to go farther than the
public school and it is absolutely nec
essary for those who contemplate en
tering any business or collegiate in
stitution. This Is an age when the modern
books, magazines and newspapers
have, to a very great extent, replaced
the olden time lectures and sermons.
The statement that "A good book Is
the life blood of a master spirit em
balmed and treasured up on purpose
for life beyond life," is equally true
of many of the better articles found
In the modern magazines and news
papers. The best of past and present
writings enable every man to think
and live the great thoughts of the
greatest men and women of all ages.
They bring to our own firesides the
inspiration and solution of the life
problems of all classes and conditions
of people with which we can mould
and temper the metal of which we
are made.
.Among the many writings that pre
sent themselves to the modern reader
are scores which have a glittering at
tractiveness, but which bear in their
wake much that is debasing. Others
there are, which while they have no
seeming harm in the thoughts that
they spread, are filling to the mind
without having in them any of those
qualities which might be termed mind
food. Experience and education are
the only factors that enable any read
er to grasp that fact that there are as
many things printed In books that are
untrue as there are that are true.
' The modern working man, business
man or professiocal man can no more
get along without the written thoughts
that bear truely on his line of work
than he can without the tools or de
vices that are requisite to that kind of
work. The farmer must have his
farm magazine to glean thoughts that
act as labor savers and money mak
ers, the store-keeper should read the
latest ideas of business getting and
business making, and the lawyer must
have those books and papers that keep
him in touch with the latest and the
best court decisions. There are writ
ten thoughts on every line of work
that are quick roads to that which
would otherwise only be learned In
the bitter school of experience, and in
every class there are hundreds of
books, magazines and papers that are
gotten out wholly with the idea of
making money for the authors or com
pilers without a thought as to the
quality of the brain food that Is being
delivered.
What is true of the kind of books
just mentioned is even more true of
those books that are read wholly for
recreation. There are times wnen we
feel the necessity of mental relaxation.
It is then that we should turn to the
books that deal less with the stern
realities of life. There is no place In
written thoughts where more care Is
needed than right here. The courses
In literature offered in the higher
grades of the public schools teach us
to spurn the "Wishy-washy" lovesick
ening tales such as the novels of Mary
Jane Holmes and The Duchess, that
invariably contain the dark haired
man In love with the light haired wo
man and the brunette pining away
for the love of the light-haired male.
It is these same courses that teach
us the real value of writings of such
men as Dickens and the 101 other
writers of the past and present ages
who really wrote stories that will fur
nish U3 with that mental relaxation
and at the same time picture life as
it is and not clouded by lovesickness
and baser passions of men hid under
cover of suggestive thoughts.
It is only the trained mind that Is
enabled to pick and choose that which
Is good and discard and disregard that
which is useless. Wo came Into this
world without our consent and the
world owes us not only a living, but it
owes us tho best means that are ob
talnablo to enable us to make that
living. The least training that we
havo a right to expect and demand is
the training that Is nlven in every
grade of the public schools from the
first grade to the twelfth Inclusive.
Our young folks have the right to de
mand and to get, and the right to bo
taught to demand and to get this
training from those who are respon
sible for their existence and their de
velopment. To those who cannot, do not or will
not aeKiiowienge wiis ngiu ana see
that It is given, let It be said that
there is no Investment that will bring
more financial good, dollar for dol
lar, to the goods and property of the
community than the few dollars each
one is called upon to Invest In the
public schools of the community. If
you have no children and never will
have any, still, you owe it to your
pocket book to see to It that no com
munity has a better public school than
yours has.
purpose, Tho high rents debar the
merchants from providing such places
and tho already cramped condition of
a great deal of tho stock carried leav
ing them out of tho qestton. This is
a question that should be taken up
by the Churches, Clubs, and Institu
tions' that are working for the better
ment of the community, not tomorrow
or next week, but today.
HUMANE CONVENIENCES.
Much is being said In the papers of
late about the necessity of providing
public drinking fountains for both the
people and the animals of the com
munities. Many towns and cities have
either provided well in this particu
lar or are at least agitating this ques
tion with marked success. There is
one matter, however, of even more
importance that is not receiving a
just amount of agitation and thought,
and that is the provision for public
rest rooms and toilets. The lack in
this line Is more especially marked in
the smaller cities where transient vis
itors and rural visitors abound. While
this applies to every town In this part
of the valley we will take ouly our
own county seat as an example.
Oregon City Is in the midst of a rich
agricultural region, it is filled with
men who have no homes except two
by four rooms in a boarding house and
itis a place where many travelers
come on business and pleasure. Out
side of the little rest room that Frank
Busch supplies In one part of his am
ple store there is no such place where
any of the visitors can, go outside of
the saloons. Leaving out the question
of the good or bad that comes with
the saloon, It must be said that It does
supply a need that is not found else
where at least for the male portion
of the human family. It la a need that
their opponents, the churches, do not
meet. There are on or near Main
street of the city, five large commodi
ous buildings that are used but sel
dom during the week days, called
churches, built for the help and bet
terment of mankind that might, if they
would, aid in this most necessary
work. There are other public build
ings and places that might with only
a slight expense be used for the same
A
Mistaken
Idea
Some people have an idea
that in order to have a bank
account they must have a
large sum to deposit; that
the bank does not care to
be bothered by small ac
counts. This, however, is not true
of the Bank of Oregon City
whiah welcomes new ac
counts, whether of $1.00, or
$1000, and the same courtesy
and service is accorded the
small depositor as those in
more fortunate circumstan
ces. It is our object and wish
to serve the public In finan
cial matters in a manner
that shall be satisfactory to
all old or young, rich or
poor.
We want your banking
business and will be pleased
to have you open an account
with us.

Many sheep breeders, especially
those of tho east, will be surprised to
learn that pure bred registered sheep
may bo raised and run? on the open
ranges of the west In large bands
without any diminution In the grade
or quality of the product as compared
to tho parent dams and sires with
which tho (locks were started. The
first requisite, however, Is that an en
tirely satisfactory range, properly pro
tected from tho intrusion of other
flocks and upon which there Is certain
to be the necessary amount of for
age, water, etc., must be assured. At
the present time this condition exists
only upon private lauds and within
the National Forests of tho west which
are under tho administration of the
Forest Service. A noteworthy example
of what can be accomplished lu breed
ing high-grade sheep on properly con
trolled open range Is that of Allen
Bros., who graze about 3000 head of
registered Cottswold sheep within tho
t'nita National Forest In the State of
Utah. These bands aro the increase
of about 200 head of prize winning
stock from the Royal Stock Show In
England and the international Stock
Show In Chicago, purchased and Im
ported to Utah by Allen Bros, since
1902. They have been grazed within
the Uinta National Forest since 1903,
upon ranges which aro practically
Ideal for sheep grazing purposes, be
ing well watered, grassed and shaded,
and protected from the grazing of
other sheep. Careful breeding is de
veloping a pure bred type of Cotts
wold entirely adapted to western range
conditions, yet equal to anything rais
ed under fences in the sastern United
States or In European countrlts. This
Is a sample case that demonstrates
what range control within the Nation
al Forests Is enabling the stockmen
of the west to do. There are quicker
and greater returns to be secured
from the raising of high grade stock
than from Inferior mongrel breeds, but
In many sections stockmen have hesi
tated to Invest In registered sires and
dams because of the uncertainty of
securing ranges upon which feed and
water are absolutely assured and with
out which such ventures would not be
so remunerative or so successful as
the running of Inferior grades of stock
better adapted to the severe range
conditions that are commonly encoun
tered because of overstocking .and
lack of control. On National Forest
ranges the number of stock allowed
is only what the range Is sufficient to
sustain tinder all conditions, and a
stockman who secures a permit to
graze stock on these ranges may em
bark upon the business of raising high
grade cattle and sheep with every
reasonable assurance of success.
Vigorous protest was entered by the
commercial Interests of Oregon and
the Oregon State Dairy Association,
against the adoption by the Pure Food
Conference at Mackinac Island, Mich
igan, of a standard for evaporated
milk, requiring 28 per cent solids.
Oregon's milk Is rich In butter fat,
owing to our climatic conditions, but
abundant pasture means less solids
than in milk from cows fed eight
months in the year. Oregon dairymen
and condensers insist that solids
should be such as result from the use
of whole milk In their product.
E. H. Harrlman, the greatest Indi
viduality In the rallroadl world, Is en
joying with his family the glories of
Oregons August climate at Pelican
Lodge, near Klamath Lake. Their

Presidents Julius Kruttschnltt and E.
E. Calvin acompanled Mr. Harrlman
to Oregon, but during his vacation they
will be busy Inspecting their roads
throughout the state.
