2200 CHICKS
PERISH WHEN
HOUSE BURNS
Explosion of a lamp in an incu
bator In a building owyd by Curtis
Dodd, near Twilight, several mile3
from Oregon City, exterminated
2200 baby chicks, some of which were
five weeks old, in a fire Saturday
night about 10:00 o'clock. The build
ing was a total loss.
Mr. Dodd la matt;n? a specialty of
pure blooded poultry and had contem
plated entering the poultry business
and feels the loss keenly.
SALMON WILL"
HIT HARD BY
LAST OF WEEK
Salmon fishing in the Willamette
river at this point was hailed by the
recent heavy rains and it is said that
the fishing will not be good until the
water clears up and recedes from its
present high stage. Not a boat dur
ing the past three days has been seen
on the river containing anglers for
the Chinook, but b7 the last of this
week, the fishing is expected to be bet
ter than ever. A big run of salmon
is now in the river, as evidenced by
the number of fish that are attempt
ing to get over the ladder at the falls.
Fifteenth Street
Residents Present
Petition to Council
Resients of Fifteenth street, be
tween Jackson and Division, have
signed a petition which will be pre
sented to the city council at the next
regular meeting, asking that tne
street affecting that section be fixed
up, and that sidewalks and cross
walks be repaired. Lee French, who
lives in that neighborhood, circulat
ed the petition and over 23 names ap
pear on the document.

Cutting the G or dian Knot
i
The report that R. A. Booth, chairman of the
state highway commission, is coming to Oregon City
this week for the purpose of cutting the Gordian knot
that has tied the Willamette river bridge situation for
many months, will be hailed with joy by thousands of
people who have so far waited in vain for definite in
formation concerning the new structure. If the
mountain is coming to Mahomet, it is to be devoutly
hoped that dignitary -will give him a royal welcome and
meet him half way.
It is not our purpose to assume the role of a carp
ing critic. Rather we would prefer to lend aid in con
structive work, and this is just what we are honestly try
ing to do. The Oregon CityWest Linn bridge is a
bigger proposition than any local administrative body
or any member of it, for it concerns all the people of thi3
community who have become impatient. We do not
propose to engage in a newspaper controversy over who
supported this or that member of the county court, for
newspaper files are available for research, and informa
tion as to the position of all the newspapers is easily ob
tainable This is neither a time for boasting nor for
apology but it "is a time to urge prompt action that will
result in the construction of a new bridge before the
summer weather passes.
However near we may be to a settlement between
the state highway commission and Clackamas county,
we may as well be miles apart as to leave the matter
hanging in the air, where it has been and whereat is. So
long as no complete understanding has been reached, we
shall not have the desired state aid for the new struc
ture. Let us not, therefore, lose sight of the main is
sue, and indulge in personalities. Diligent effort,
coupled with a spirit of compromise, will probably settle
whatever controversy remains. The Enterprise would
have a feeling of guilt and failure to appreciate its own"
responsibility if it kept silent over a situation that may
mean the loss of hundreds of lives that are more pre
cious than injured official dignity.
PRIZED COW
WORTH 15,000
DIES AT SALEM
SALEM, Or., April 25. Poppy's Dor
othea, owned by Frank Lynn, of Per
rydale, and holder of the world's rec

that has been sustained by Jersey
breeders for many years.

veterans of the Mexican, Civil
and Indian wars to fill out for tax ex

The sugar market is in a very un
settled condition and a further fall
in price is expected. Consumption
throughout the United States has
been reduced and stocks are accum
ulating in Cuba, which means a low
er market for raw sugar.

Wmmm
Reconstruction-Close Up.
Not "reconstruction" of world, or state,
Nor of empires old, nor new-create;
But that dearest realm 'neith heaven's dome
Of that fair kingdom that we call HOME.
Here reconstruction is running riot.
Not blazoned .with trumpets, but "on the quiet."
Here reconstruction makes many changes,
And through a wide variety ranges.
We put a new wheel on baby's cart;
We enlarge our porch as a building start;
We paint the house from te sky to the ground;
We rake the lawn the premises 'round.
We clean the cistern annd fix the pump;
We haul our refuse away to the dump;
We straighten the leg of the dining table;
We trim the trees; we remodel the stable;
We get a jiew rope for the children's swing;
We wash all the windows 'n'every thing;
We sort all our clothes and store, some away,
And Junk a few with a whoop and hooray;
We buy a new rocker; we paper the walls;
We indulge in new caTpets for stairs and halls;
We mend the torublesome faucet which leaks;
. We oil the tell-tale hinge which squeaks.
Oh, isn't it fine that winter Is ended,
And our broken fortunes are being mended!
This "reconstruction- and lots of things new
Is a jolly occasion I think don't you?
OPEN DOORS IN
BUSINESS
THE STATISTICIAN
The work of the statistician Is be
coming more in demand and better
appreciated. This will continue as ef
ficiency and organization increase.
Large problems wnich call for con
certed scientific solution cemand that
facts first be ascertained and herein
is the work of the statistician. It
consists in surveys, collaborating of
results and reducing these to statis
tics that they may become the basis
of intelligent proceedure along anv
line. In the social world the statis
tician is the engineer who goes ahead
and surveys the route, gathering sta
tistics which she brings back as Caleb
and Joshua brought back report of
the land of Canaan. v
This work calls for peculiar qualifi
cations. It is a fine work of high
educational and altruistic value, sat
isfying to her who loves knowledge
for its own sake and he use It s
to the world, but it does not pay well
from a financial viewpoint as yet.
A statistician clerk who work under
the direction of a supervisor receives
about $100 a month. Work whicn re
quires planning and interpreting ana
investigation - pays from $1200 vo
$2000 a year. Experts receive per
haps $3000 a year . The director of
the Census Bureau receives $7500 in
census year, and In other years $6000.
To become a statiscian one should
take a course in this in one of the col
leges which offer such courses. Aside
from this it demands some actual
nrnntfoo. Onn must serve an appren
ticeship in' the work itself in order
to cultivate the fine discrimination
necessary to tell what is and what is
not worth while tabulating under
certain headings. Individuals an4
their surroundings and acts- are so
different that it requires skill to know
how to herd them together in the
manner necessary for the work in
hand.
SMILES.
We easily could conserve red dye.
And most of us would be glad to try
What could we not in rose tints drape
If we could cut the government tape?
8 RECIPES.
Dandelions.
How like a prodigal doth Nature
seem,
When thop, for all thy gold, so com
mon art!
James Russel Lowell.
Pestiferous as they are when go
ing to seed on the lawn, they are
worth good gold as greens. In the
spring, when man's fancy ngntiy
turns to thoughts of iron tonic here is
nothing better than a mess of dan
delion greens. To pick a quart dally,
clean, cook and eat is a recognized
cure for 'the sprins fever." which is
merely a sympton of an over-fed
mortal and an over worked liver.
The purgative effect, the vitamin
element, and the iron content are the
three rirtu.es of the dandelion as
food It has been demonstrated that
the hodv r-annot assimilate iron giv
en as a mineral or a drug uncombm
ed. But as nature supplies it In cer
tain vegetables and fruits, it can ba
used by the system. Dandelions and
spinach are the two chief vegetable
sources of the valuable Iron tonic.
Children for errowth. and mothers dur
ing pregnancy and the nursing period
need abundant supply or iron.
Gathering Dandelions.
The best plants are found in fields
or alone- ditches. Early in the season
they are more delicious, but should
not be ignored as long as they can
be obtained at all. Just under thf
ground the root is topped hy ' crown
from which the leaves radiate. The
drown is fine flavored and as good a
food as asparagus. People often use
nnlv the leaves, but the dandelion
should be cut, not pulled, so that the
crown can be used . It is a wise plan
to discard outside and imperfect
leaves when they are gathered as tihs
6aves labor latter.
Preparing.
Keep the greens from wilting.
Wash in several waters and wrap in
a damp cloth if not to be used at
once. Cook in a small amount of
water for about twenty minutes. Right
here.
Stop, Look, Listen.
Do not .drain the water from the
cooked dandelion greens into the sink
Which doctor is it who said "If the
sewer had a digestive apparatus it
would be the best nourished speci
men to be found anywhere?" We
throw so much of food value down
the sink. A great deal of- the most
valuable mineral salts from the dan
delion greens have dissolved in the
water in which they are cooked. Con
trive some way to use this instead of
presenting it to the waste-pipe. Sea
son it as you would the greens ana
sip or drink it. If you make up your
mind to it, you may discover that it
is a pleasant tea. Don't be prejudiced
against trying something new!
The Vitamins. "
Just how much cooking it takes
to destroy vitamins is still disputed
question. Until it is settled the less
boilng that can be given your greens
the more certain you are of preserv
ing the vitamins. Some people have
been known to eat them quite or
nearly raw in salads.
THE FAVORITE SPORT
CLEANING.
The sound of the carpet beater Is
heard in the land. Who says house
cleaning is extinct is a "nature fakir."
True., we do not clean as of old, when
straw was the sub stratum of- the rag
carpet. Then it was a terrific vol
cano. Now it is merely a mild inter
mittent eruption. (Interruption,
our husbands say.) Spasmodic it is
bound to be to all but to the patient
automaton who is willing to have her
nose continually to the grindstone.
She who lives for life and not fct
housework, who considers homekeep-
ing a means and not an end, will de
vote herself to this and that occupa
tion on demand, bunching up the
housework into spells and not hold
ing herself always at it. It is an in
stinct of freedom to accumulate the
work into condensed occasions and
thus give certain " long times of ab
stainence from Its care. Hence the
preparing two or three meals at once
the washing of the day's dishes at one
time, the seasonal housecleaning;
Even could we keep pictures, walls,
bedding, clothes, closets, dresser-
drawers, rugs; windows, curtains, cel
lar, pantry and utensils go clean all
the time, that they would never re
quire an extra session, still the walls
would need their 're-decorating and
the flocks re-finishing, and' this makes
the .occasion' to dust the back of the
piano and wash the bed springs.
Housecleaning is unhygienic In
"closed" weather, as even the poet B.
L. T. knew and said as follows:
"Know you not that microbes lurk
Here and there and everywhere.
And that all this 'cleaning' work
Simply populates the air?"
Lady with the celanlng bee,
You are much to young to die.
Take a timely tip from me:
Let the sleeping microbes lie!"
It is only to be done when doors
and windows may be open,, hence it
flourishes in the spring.
True, housecleaning has lost its ter
rors. It is now the favorite sport of
the American housewife, who may roll
up her sleeves both literally and figur
atively for playing the game both
within and without her four square
walls. -
Undertaken in a spirit of joy in the
attack, it may become a most exhil
erating past-time, and miss the chaos
characteristic of those strawpaddod
carpet days.
A "visit to the drug; grocery and de
partment stores will acquaint her with
what aids she may enlist to make her
conquest most effective and easy. A
study of chemicals, paints, oils, scours,
soaps, paper cleaners, brushes, wipes,
suctions, and -magic dirt skidooers of
all sorts and inventions will reveal to
her many shortcuts.
It is not thrift to do without prop
er tools. Estimate the original cost,
the length of time they wil last, the
hours, wages and doctor, bills they,
COPYRIGHTED
will save, and become aware of the
economy it is to provide practical
equipment for the business of house
hold engineering.
After all fabrics in a room have
hoon TkTit- rait into the sun and breez

Ktv. ciiniilri be inspected. If dirty,
scrub with carpet-soap suds. If moths
have been in, wet, and lay a cloth over
the spot and iron. This win mil
moths nn.l offers.
The shades may be warhed with a
damp cloth, or wiped with a slightly
oiled one. If shabby on the lower
end, untack from the roller, hem and
ravttrsn. Verv frail old lace curtains
may be washed with gasoline and
flour mixed as for a gravy.
Thn wintpr olothine should be shak

The heavier bedding may be put up-
attic without celaning until fall as it
will eet dustv in the meantime any
how. Thf lisrhter bedding should be
washed one piece each week until
done: or else take a special day for it
and do not try to cram it all into a
few burdened weekly wash-days.
After the house itself and It fur
nishinsr and contents have been junk
ed, mended and cleaned, finish up by
pouring strong disinfectant down eacn
drain and oil all casters. Sit down
then with peace of mind and a firm
determination to keep it that way all
the time. But. of course, yoti wont!
Yon are now Teady to attach civic
housecleaning. But this is another
story.

NOT WARM UP TO
PORTLAND, April 23. Bids for 7T
miles of road work, opened by the
state highway commision Friday, were
awarded Saturday morning at 10
o'clock in the courthouse. As a rule,
the commission awards bids on the
day received, but as Commissioners
Booth and Barratt had to attend a
meeting at Hood River last night it
was necessary for them to leave be
fore the bids could be tabulated and
analyzed.
There was not only keen competi
tion for the road work Friday, but
the bidding was low. The reason tor
the decrease in the bids is supposed
to be accounted fofby the decline ii&
the price heretofore paid for labor.
. Clackamas county, Yamhill county
and Multnomah county delegations
joined forces to urge the highway
commission to designate as a post
road a way from Oswego to Newberg,
Clackamas county has $132,000 t
spend on hardsurfacing such a road, .
the base is prepared and Newberg
citizens on a co-operative basis, from
that town to the Clackamas county
line.
The distance from Oswego to New
berg, by the proposed route, is 26
miles and would give a good road to
Wilsonville. Commissioners Booth and
Barratt made no reply, but appar
ently considered that Commissioner
Yeon ' voiced their sentiments, when
he informed the delegation that the
commission is now trying to build
state trunk roads with the money
available, and is not placing new
roads on the state map.
