EUGENE COUNCILMEN VISIT THIS CITY OREGON CITY FILTER PLANT PRES8E8 VISITING COUN CILMEN. Tlm success of the , filtration sys tem adopted by the Hoard of Water Commissioners of Oregon City about in years ago lias been ao marked (hat every few months municipal delega tions come hero from other Oregon points to Inspect the plant, with a view to Installing a similar system. lHM'clally la this true of towns all nlong the Wlllnmolto Valley, where the municipal water supply is obtain ed from the river, the result that In many Instances fever germs devtfop and are sometimes traced directly to the water supply. Tho Installation of a system of filters In Oregon City. and the beneficial results obtained, has aroused the Interest of the offlcUils of the city of Eugene, and Thurs day, Mayor J. I). Matlock, City Engin eer George Wagner, Councllmen It. K. Henderson, K. H. Garrett and J. K. Rouch and Superintendent of Wa terworks, S. W. Taylor, came down from the University town and made a rigid Inspection of the local plant. They were shown the details of con struction and operation hy Water Commissioners Charles II. Caufleld. J. E. Hedges and Jlruce Zumwalt. fctid Suiierlntendent V. II. Howell and Councilman Charles W. Pope. All of the visitors expressed themselves as delighted with the system and will probably recommend Ha Installation at Eugene nfter their return home. Government Trlei Economy.

The heirs are the husband. Robert Flnley, of California,: Mrs. Gertrude Flnley Collins, of Clatsknnle, and Mrs. Metta Flnley Thayer. will make the drier rattle, and then with standing back to back and no small bit of unction, they'll ascertain If they can throw a shadow In con junction. Tho which the country will await with trembling and misgiving, for If thoy can, we'll have to think of how to keep on living another SO days and nights, frostbit nnd tempest-shaken, nnd paying nn admission foe to see a piece -of bacon. Hut lot us all bo reassured And have the heart to sing: We don't believe a dozen such Could hope to show a thing; Or forty of them half and hnlf In solid phalanx there, I'nlesB they counted One-two-three, And filled thewsolves with air. Our Mr. Taft should be ashamed to bo so, fat and sleek with everything so high we cant' eat moat but once a week. He ought to bo too big a man In other ways than his to keep so bux om when he sees how thin the coun try Is. A sympathetic president In such a time of tost woul dask for noth ing but to take pot luck with all the rest. He'd eat his hard and simple crust, his prunes and butter enke. and Join the country In tho stand we've taken as tosteak. It does seem like hnrdhenrtedness for one in such a place to feed himself on terrapin and set us such a pace. Ho ought to live on hominy and grow so thin and gaunt that anyone with seeing him would think he was lu want. It would become him very well to say. "I live (in rice," and prove It when he wrap ped his coat around his body twice. We'd all stand up ami honor him, alike with us bereft, and cheer him with what little strength the most of us have left. ' St Valentine will open up His moving picture show And run a nlckleodoon For seven days or so. . Ho'll show us Algernon the Dude, And Little Wit the Dunce, And bore us terribly again With those unwitting stunts. And maybe this time we shall rise, As we should do, by gum. And put this whole infernal brand Of humor on the bum. We never did know what .It meant, if anything at all, or who It was that FRUIT FOR CLACKAMAS FIVE VARIETIES OF APPLES ARE GROWN SUCCESSFULLY IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY. GROWERS IN SESSION M. Williamson, Secretary of State Board of Horticulture Gives Instructive and Enter taining Address. Hpltzenborgs, Roman Realities, Yel low Newtowns, (irlmes Uoldena and Baldwins are the five varieties of apples recommended to the growers of Clackamas County as being the best adupted for the soil and climate by the Clackamas County Horticul tural Society Saturday afternoon. It Is tho purpose of the society to event. tially form a fruit growers' union aru ship carloads of apples East and they realize tho Impossibility of carrying out such a plan unless there Is a lim it placed on the varieties grown. Thi society hold an enthusiastic meeting In the afternoon and the main address was given by II. M. Williamson, sec retary of the Slute Hoard of Horticul ture. In future the members of the society will not accept trees from nurserymen unless they first pass the Inspection of the officers of the so ciety, who are A. J. LwIb, president; C. W. Swallow, vice-president; M. J. I-azelle, secretary-treasurer. The so ciety baa about 50 members and the next meeting will be held Saturday, February 12. C. B. MOORES DECLINES TO ACCEPT OFFICE T. J. GARY, NEWLY ELECTED SEC RETARY, TAKES UP WORK WITH A VIM. Charles B. Moore s of Portland, has declined to accept the presidency of the Willamette valley Chautauqua Assembly, to which he was elected last week, because of 111 health. Mr. Muores writes to H. E. Cross that he Is under the care of a physician. Mis refusal to take the office la a great disappointment to the members of the lfcard of Directors, as well as to other Cbautauquans. The directors will hold a meeting In a short time to fill (he vacancy. County School Superintendent Gary, who was recently elected secretary of tho Willamette Valley Chuutauqua, is rapidly familiarizing himself with the work and his energetic personal ity will do much toward Insuring the success of the 1910 session. County Clerk's Feet Increase. The fees of the office of County Clerk Greenman for January amount ed to $590. as against $393 for Janu ary, 19u. This Is a material increase and Is especially gratifying to the attaches of tho office for the reason that the expense of operation has not been Increased. started It, or why we had to fall for such a custom. Oft we think the way that we behave must make the good St. Valentine turn over In his grave. It is a shame to break his sleep, which else were quite serene, and keep him spinning just as If there were a belt between that ancient and respected tomb of him a long time ueait and all the wheels there are in some fool picture maker's head. At any rnte, the country will by hook or crook, survive and hall the blessed day that saw George Wash ington arrive. As time proceeds we more and more appreciate his make, and wonder If his coming here was not a great mistake. We cant' help thinking that ho was supposed to go to Mars, or possibly to one of the still older, riper stars. A man who will not tell a lie is not like one of us, and we'll bet a dollar he was billed to go to I'ranus or somewhere else whore one of us had been to them as queer and unlike everyone as George has been among us here. Hut be II Is it haply will, It soon shall come about Thnt Lent will hurry up to help 1 ho poor meat striker out, And Halley's comet will assume The aspect of a goigon And se what It can do to save Vs all from Mr. Morgan. If that won't make him loose his grip It will bo time to wonder If Mr. Morgan, too, is not a planetary blun der, and If ho should not have been born where others such as he are and no one Is so far advanced In ethics yet as we are. However, from the 17th we shall bo under Pisces, the symbol of the Fish, and the slgullcance of this Is that persons born beneath the sign, though not quite Washlugtons, will not be liars like we are, but only little ones. The moon will fill the 23d. and the last week will be quiet unless we have a suPrngette or anti-tariff riot. The trusts' big aviation meet will see the mouth out right, and beef at 30 cents a pound will win the prize for height. And then the welcome Spring will come, Tho Winter go a-scootlng, And March" come In like on of what T. Roosevelt is shooting. WILLIAMSON ESTATE IS HARD TO SETTLE MAN FOUND WITH MONEY ON BODY IS CLAIMED BY WOMAN AS HER FATHER. The famous Williamson estate case mav be annealed, according to the statement of J. II. Hltohlngs, attorney for Mrs, Eflle H. Robinson, who claims the man found In the woods near Os wego In the fall of 1908, waa her father, K. A. Williamson. Last week County Judge Dimlck handed down a decision In the case, ruling that the claim of Mrs. Robinson was fraudu lent and that the wntentlon of Bern hardt Halst that the dead man was his broiher, Christian Halst, was like wise untrue. This leaves Clackamas County at the present time the only legitimate claimant for about $700 found In the clothing of tho dead man, whose identity may never be dicosed. The attorneys of Halsf In troduced depositions to prove that Mrs, Robinson could have been no relation to the dead man, that her maiden name was Williams, and that the letters "on" had been added to her marriage certificate. Mrs, Rob inson's claim was cleverly backed and she had no difficulty In obtaining the appointment of administratrix of tho estate after the body was found. WILL OBSERVE LINCOLN'S BIRTH.

The mayor of that city will soon appoint a committee to come to this city to Inspect the filt ering plant, as a movement Is on foot In salem to install a filtering plant there.

By a unanimous vote, S. P. Davis, secretary of the publicity department of the Oregon City Commercial Club, was Thursday night re-elected by the publicity committee and the board of advisors, who held a joint session in the Commercial Club parlors. The en dorsement of the Indefatigable work of Mr. Davis during the last six months Is very gratifying to the men who have kept In close touch with the efforts of the publicity committee dur ing this period, and the re-election of the secretary Insures earnest and ac tive work In the future. Thursday night's meeting was tho first of the new publicity committee and advisory board. Organization was perfected in the election by the pub licity committee of Judge Thomas F., Ryan as treasurer of the publicity fund. Judge Ryan was elected to this office two weeks ago by the Board of Governors of the Commercial Club, but the publicity committee took the position that they had the right to name their own treasurer. Their choice of Judge Ryan will save the possibility of any friction over the matter. While the campaign of advertis ing that has been carried on during the last half-year was endorsed, the work In the future will probably be broader In scope, and it is likely that more advertising In Western news papers will be done In the future than In the past. This Is the suggestion of Frank Busch, chairman of the public ity committee, and It may be acted upon, although It Is not the Intention of the committee and advisory board to abandon any work that has been carried on successfully In the past.
