Special road taxes, amounting to
thousands of dollars, have been voted
in 15 out of the 59 road districts of
the county.
Vnder the taws of the state, the
road district may levy a special tax
for the Improvement of the highways
within Its own boundaries. In addi
tion to the amount that It received
from the county out of the general
road fund, the special tax Is placed In
the hands of the road supervisor to
be spent upon the highways that run
through that particular district
In this way. the 15 districts are
planning to get much better roads
during the coming years and are pro
posing to spend more on their high
ways than the regular apportionment
from the general fund would give
them.

FLOUR MILLS
LETTER SENT TO COUNCIL
WARNING MEMBERS TO
BE CAREFUL
PROMOTES ROAD 10 SHI OUT
Officials do Not Appear Worried
Line 8hould go to Another
Concern After it Haa
Been Built.
CharKca that Stephen Carver pro
moted linos that he did not finish and
that the city council of Oreiron t'tly
had bst beware of any prviiHialtlou
that he makes were rontalnml In a
letter and cllpplj.a sent by the Wit
helm A Sons company of Uonton couu
ty. flour manufactunrs, to the city
council Saturday.
The letter was rvaa In the special
council meetln: Saturday afternoon.
It waa considered rspectnlly although
the matter of the franchises of. the
two lines was not brought up bjr the
members. The company declared that
It had no personal Interest tn the
franchises that were before the coun
cil but It had seen that Carver had
asked for the franchises and took up
on Itself the warnlnf of the city
fathers aa to the facts about the man
with whom they were dealing.
It also mentioned that Carver had
promoted the Corvallls t Aiwa line
that Is now owned by the Southern
I'actftc company and held that he was
a schemer who promoted lines to be
turned over to other roads.
The city futhers took no action In
the matter, however, aa some of the
members evidently do not oppose the
later transfer of the title In the road
to another line aa long aa the city Is
assurred of a competing company In
to the town.
If the Hue la once built, though it
should later be turned over to another
company for operation, the aentlmcul
in some quarters favors the granting
of the franchise to the road .even lu
face of these possible facts. The warn
ing from the flour mills, consequently,
will probably have little effect upon
the council tn Its determination upon
the merits of the franchise that la
proposed.

When Henry Wlnstanley, famous
English engineer, brought to comple

work, the Eddystone lighthouse, he
stood aside and rejoiced In the labor
of bis brains.
"It la a worthy structure," be said
aloud. "It will stand for sges. Ob,
bow I should like to be here In the
fiercest storm thnt ever blew and see
bow tbe wind and sea should beat In

Tbe fierce storm came. Wlnstanley
stood In his house of pride and watch
ed the strife outside.
"It holds fast! It holds fast!" he
cried.
But the winds and the rain and the
storm proved too much for the Eddy
stone lighthouse, and In Its wreck It
bore down to death tbe man wbo
built It.
We build ourselves lighthouses of
pride and power. We rear tbem In
wealth 'and honor. They wilt last for

But we fall to found our lighthouses
on tbe eternal verities of truth and hon

"fiercest storm that ever blew" to all
of us. and down come our lighthouses.
We go down with them, often to
death and ruin.
Other builders of other lighthouses
follow us.
Tbelr structures rear themselves

Finally comes one man with tbe secret
of laying a proper foundation.
The Eddystone lighthouse not Wln

warning light tells of concealed rocks

BIGGER LEVY
MEETS DEFICIT
CITY COUNCIL TAKES CARE OF
LOSS OF REVENUES FROM
SALOONS
CARRIES AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE
Ordinance Becomes Effective aa Soon
at Signed by Mayor Holds
Special Meeting In the
Afternoon
To pass tbe tax levy for the new
year, the city council nu t In a special
session Saturday afternoon In the
council chambers.
The ordinance was sent thorugh to
Its third reading and final passago and
carried. It will become efffoctlve Im
mediately after Its approval by the
mayor as it carries an emergency
clause.
The levy waa raised from eight and
one-half mills to 10 mills for all pur
poses. Of this amount, nine and one
balf mills will be used for the gen
eral purposes of the city government
and tbe other one-balf will be devoted
to the uses of the city library.
The council Increased the levy be
cause of tbe loss of the 110.000 an
nually from the saloons. Tbe finance
committee had at first thought tq get
along on the old levy but discovered
that the street improvements and
other work that had been plannud
would call for more money than the
eight and one-half mills would levy
and later came Into tbe meeting with
a request for more money. The or
dinance was at once Introduced and
Saturday reached Its final passaise.
The Increased levy takea care of the
deficit that Jhe city would otherwise
have now that It haa lost tbe revenue
from the saloons.
APPLE DAY IN OREGON.
Apple day was a great success.
Apples, apples everywhere great big
red ones.
The apple eater has a fresh youth
ful appearance because he is healthy.
ApplPS grown tn Clackamas County
are highly flavored and have a fine
skin and are very tender, and will not
stand abuses In shipping as well as
apples grown In a dryer or hotter cli
mate. However we can beat tbe world
on flavor.
Some means of equal distribution
should be devlaed whereby our big ap
ple crops could be gotten Into the
hahds of the apply hungry people In
place where now the price makes pos
session almost prohibitive.
The time must and will come when
markets will be established in cities
where the consumer can buy direct
from the grower. The middle man is
an expensive luxuryf and he must be
done away with, for this, and the ad
ditional reason that he does not push
the apple, satisfied to make big pro
fits on a few sales, and what'a the use.
It Is our aim to foster the consump
tion of apples, and not the price. If
the grower could secure 91.25 to $1.51
per box, and find sale for all his pro
duct, we would find that he was In a
good business, t'p to this time con
sumption has not been what It should
be, for the commlsnlon man has mado
tpples a luxury aftr his big profit was
realized. This Is not good for grower
or consumer for his apples must be
sold if the grower would continue In
the work, and everyone has a natural
craving and liking for apples. Trans
portation charges are 60 cents per box
and with a charge of from 25 centa to
GO cents per box for distribution, if
tbe shipment waa bandied right a box
of apples could reach the consumer in
the Middle West at a cost of from
$2.25 to $2.50, and thus cost Jess than
the present prices. Tbe grower
might realize $1.25 to $1.60, a living
turn, the consumer would find the
product within his means and an agent
would get a fair return for his labor
and everyone would benefit thereby
Let our motto be "Live and let live."

the vote against It In the three wards

31.
An amendment to the rlty charter
giving thn council authority to fix tha

6C2 to 39S.
Another amendment .making It nec
essary for the council to eonrur In all

About S.'.l votes were cast for may
or In thn election In Oregon City while
the voting strength at other elections
where the Interest has been more cen
tered has been between 1700 and isoo
voles. The opposition to the ordlu
ance proposed for the purchase of a
tract of land for public uses rsme
from all parts of the rlty and the vote
shows that tbe sent linen t against thu
purchase of the land waa not con
fined to any particular section of the
town.
The submission of the amendment
for the fixing of the salary of tha chief
came with tha discovery that the char
ter limit Is too small to properly re-
numerate the officer for the work
that he does and that the rlly coua-tl
could not raise that amount If it paid
It aa a part of his salary. The chief
has, however, been receiving more
than the limit because of other work
that has been made part of his duties

Ever since McCredle returned from

Cleveland could have Iolier provided
thn big league club gave him a suffi
cient number of players In exchange.
W nether McCredle gave the Naps
an option on the star outfielder makes
little difference for Homers and the
Portland club have been working un

POTATO TRADE IS
There I. a very quiet tone a a,
potato trade. Tho highest price sbovi
fur Oregon offerings In the Haa rnt
el wo market Saturday was S 1 .40 g
rental with the bulk of the sslm
ranging from I.:S to 1,3S. tin
freight and handling charges be(ta
the Willamette valley and the 8u
Francisco market amount to 0 g
cental, therefore the net price hero Is
not more than It and generally K
unless the exir:n fU.;;i, u obuinei
In the south. This meant that buy
ers here are not able to pay mors lhai
sue to 90o a rental for supplies and ob
tain a profit of wen lue o rental tbem
selves. This Is generally omiidrre4
the smallest profit that buyers rat
figure upon without realty suffering
a losa from rejection and Urn striking
of an occasionally lower market.
Idaho stin k la still selling generally
6c a eental belter than the Wlllaa

market bm-siue of the better quality
and park of the former.
BUT SMALL PART OF i
IS ON FARMS
It la staled on quite good authority
that not more than 30 per cent of Iht
1913 wheat crop of Oregon, Idaho and
Washington remains unsold la tbe
bunds of producers.
Not only are stocks on the fans bo
low expectations of the state, M
home milling Interests retain smalkr
stocks of the cereal than usual at tall
period of tho season.
This bus led home of the tradt It
believe that before tho next crop
available there will be almost a la
mine In wheat offerings In ;hu Pacific
northwest and that prices are due lor
another sharp advance before tho tun
of the year.
While this conclullon Is niertlf
rpeciilntlve. It Is based upon torn
showing of fuels. At Hie present
time i illlers are beginning to reallrt
tbe scarcity of wheat holdings tad fo
that reason aro being forced Into th
higher priced market attains! tbetr
will. Wheat blls aro reported from U
In K 1.2n a bushel for choir mlllltll
