BIG MEETING
CALLED FOR
EXPOSITION
PORTLAND, Aug. 27. The extent
to which, the state of Oregon will be
asked to financially back the 1925
Exposition Is to be definitely decided
at a meeting in Portland September
8 of representatives of every county
and of practically every state-wide
organization.
The announcement of this meeting
was made Saturday by the board jf
directors. At this conference the
- theme of the world's fair will be
crystalized and the policies which
will guide the directorate in, their
activities from now until the exposi
tion becomes an actuality, will be
formulated.
Governor Ber Olcott has appointed
one man to represent each county
in the state. M. D. Latourette has
been named for Clackamas county
Such organizations as the State E li
torial Association, Federation of La
bor, State Grange, Farmer's Union,
State Chamber of Commerce have
been asked to send three delegates
to the conference.
Upon the decision of the delegates
at this meeting wiJl hang the admin
istrative as well as the economic pol
icies of the exposition. Oregon is
ueing calleC upon to sponsor a gi
ganttc undertaking and the represen-
atrves of the various communities of
the state will be depended upon to
pledge whatever support can be ex
pected from the people ot the com
monwealth. The conference September S Is the
first meeting of state-wide ' scope
which has been called Although the
project 'cat been off if in. II; ratified by
the United States government and
the authorities of the state of Ore
gon, the representatives of the com
ho&trss to the woild in 1S23 have as
yet had no part in the shaping of the
preparatory activities.
With the outlining of the exploita
tion program at the conference, ac
cord, ng to the directors, the people
as a whole will be called upon to
place the name of the state as a
guarantee to the success of the un
dertaking'.
A number of important matters are
scheduled for action at the meeting.
The extent to which the state will
pledge itself financially, both by in
dividual subsicription and appropria
tion, is to be decided. One of Un
important steps will be the working
oat of the theme, characteristic at
the industrial, civic and commercial
progress of the age which the expo
sition is to immortalize.

A Link In The Chain
Solution of the problem of a physical connection
with the Pacific highway to the south is still confront
ing Oregon City and it is one of the important phases
relating to the future of the community. It cannot be
ignored nor lost sight of indefinitely. The state high
way commission is urging it, the immensity of tourist
travel will demand it and if we are to recognize our own
prominence as a link in the highway chain we must con
sider what is best to be done and then do it.
Obviously Oregon City has a right to expect ma
terial financial aid from those large corporations inter
ested in the removal of heavy traffic from the region of
the basin. The city has no funds available, either at
present or in the near future, to cover the cost of an out
let from the south end of town, and if it should develop
that the project would have to be financed through the,
media of taxation, we would probably encounter a
stumbling block, and this is a condition that ought to
be escaped by all means.
Engineering estimates on three routes are available. -The
cost of the present route along the basin is the high
est of all, necessitating widening the highway and con
structing a rock wall to carry the grade. The figure for
this project is approximately $180,000, including an
overhead crossing at the Southern Pacific tracks enter
ing Canemah. The railway company would be required
to pay about 40 per cent of the cost of the crossing, but
the company would unquestionably prefer an . under- -grade
crossing at some other point, even at a higher cost
to it. The estimated cost of the Third street route, us
ing the present undergrade crossing and widening the
turn as a safety provision, and running along the bluff
to Canemah, is $96,500, and this route does not meet
with favor from the industrial and railway companies
in that section of the city, though it has the merit of be
1 ing the cheapest project thus far submitted. Another
I route that would not encounter the opposition to be ex-
pected against either the Third street project or the basin
route, is the Fifth street plan, and this would also re-
quire the construction of an undergrade crossing, with
an outlet along the bluff, at a total cost of $ 1 62, 1 76, or
nearly as much as the basin route. It is understood the
highway commission would finance the paving, but
I none of the other operations necessary to obtain the con-
nection.
Here is something to think about. It is a project
I worthy of serious consideration and early attention.

LEASING OF
CITY HALL.
IS OPPOSED

and sacrificing) a portion of the pro
perty to effect the cancellation of trie
present lease that has three years to
run.
Mr. Caufield is alpo against the
proposition to spend $5,000 0t the
taxpayer's money for the purchase of
a site on fie hill and the erection
of a city hall there.
"There are several things .o con
siaer about a new city hall," said
Mr. Caufield Saturday.
snouia it be located where at
least three-fourths of the people who
will have business at a city hall W5H
d? inconvenienced or should it be
built with the idea of making it con
veriient for the general public?
"Should the question of location be
hastily decided by a few enthusiastic
advocates of some particular part of
town or should it not be a subject of
deliberate consideration by citizens
generally in ortier that the location
convenient to greatest number should
oe cnosen ?
"I there not some question as to
whether it is good business policy
for the city to rtsh this matter at
rbe present time, on account of th3
poor market for bonds and high cost
of material and wages?
"The city is fortunate in owning a
very valuable piece of Main street
property the value of which is rapid
ly increasing. Would it not be ad
visable to consider well before tieiu?
up the same in a long time lease?
"Now in all candor is asked all
citizens, is it frond sense or jurtg
ment to keep the fire fighting ap
paratus in a location where in case
.f a disastrious fire in that part of
town in which the great risks, mills,
fajctoiries and business houses, are
located, many things could happen
that would prevent prompt assis-anr.e
from the fire department?"

Time's Changes
By Howard Hilles
"Tempora mutantur, et no mutamur fa illls"
My quaint old Quaker Grandma, when her little grandson did
Things that he knew were naughty, and not as he was bid,
Would lift a warning finger and shake her silver head.
But, "My child, the mus't do that," was the only thing she said.
But my daughters' admonitions! take a new and novel form
Which in their little brother, always starts a stirring storm
They mean the same as Grandma did but It's another tune
To snap, "Stop that you little simp!-' or, "Quit that, you poor prune!"
Far be it from their father to decry their modern ways,
Or seek to check Time's changes, and return to bygone days.
But I make one reservation that I'd really just as soon
Hear again, "Thee musn't do that," not "'Quit that, you poor rrune!'
Ice Water
and Ice Cream
Summer and winter, no n&tter what
the temperature Of outdoors, the worfc
of our stomach goes on at about 9?
degrees-. It should main this. How
cool we will feel depends, not upon
how much of a chM we can give ouri
insides, but upon how continuously
and well we can keep up elimination ot
moisture . and thus, through exapcra
lion, throw off body heat.
To plunge a cold bulk into the sto
mach 'hinders the workings' of that
organ, which should remain at as de
grees, and hinders this elimination of'
moisture. To drink a great deal, to eat
juicy foods, and to add a little acid
stimulant, uch as lemon or other
fruit tonics; these are methods of en-
ouraging the cooling process. But to
gulp down a glass of ice water or eat
frozen ice-cream on top of a warm
meal, which lis already beginning tt
digest, is "to throw a monkey wrench
into the works' The whele mass of
stomach contents must be warmed up
before digestion can go on again.
If we have ice water and ice cream
we should noia tnem in tne mourn
until warmed somewhat and these
should be very slowly sipped or eaten.
Warm liquids encourasoe activity of
toraach, bowels and kicineys. and the
pores of the skin. This explains the
irtue of the warm drink to help one
keep cool, not a hot mass to add to
bodily heat, but merely warm. It al-
o explains the use of pepper and hot
spices in the hot climates. They sim
ply prod on elimination by their stim
plant effect.

THE WOMAN CITIZEN
City Planning
The City of Washington is about
he only American city which
planned in an early day. It was done
by Major li'Enfant, a French engin
eer, under the instruction of Georgo
Washington, himself 8s an engineer.
Many other cities aire, at great ex
pense, trying to do away with their
handicaps by planning; and the wise
city will tackle the job as soon as pos
sible Jfo city can afford to grow, liki
Topsy, any more than the house
builder can afford to build his home
teat haphazardly
Many people Think of icty planning
as tbe fad of those who seek alone
a city's beauty. Beauty is worth much
for itself but it also has a commercial
value in making a city more attracUve
and drawing more people of wealth.
But city planning adds to convenience
pnd to prosperity.
By city planning the streets are ar
ranged so that one can get from main
portion to portion without going
around two sides of a square. From
renters radiate main thoroughfares.
From the main approaches to the city,
these lead directly to the business
section by the shortest route, like
spokes of a wheel. Factories can be
located in a section where they can
be best served by railroads and these
will not have to cross through the
heart of the city. Businesses of a
kind can be grouped together. Trans
portation can be better managed and
thus over-congestion prevented anl
the people spread out making for
more fresh air and health. Pi-bli
buildings may have "mere sightly a?-

The dispute involves property in

which is between the holdings of the
two principals in the case. Hopkins

on his property and asks damages to
the extent of $300 as well as title to

Care of Finger Nails
Finger Nails are straws, indicating
which way the wind blows or tne
ator flows. Simple washing, be it
ever so thoroughly done, is not always
enough to keep the finger naiis clean.
Dirt will find its way underneath the
Dails, md is difficult to get out, and
forms a retreat for germs.
No matter how shapely or cleanly
a hand, the unkept finger nails are a
Dadge of carelessness. It is not neces
sary to put upon the nails all the
furbelows which Dame Faddism dic
tates; the polish and tint, and the trim
which makes them resemble bird
claws, but they should be kept always
clean. This is not only a beauty asset
but in handling of food, its essential to
health.
Triming the toa'ls too short will
make thm sore, and ill shaped, and
stubby. Never bite then: off. The nail
clip or the scissors are better than a
knife for trimming nails as the latter
is liable to tear so deeply as to leave
the bed ot the nail exposed and sore.
Be careful in trimming or cleaning
the nails not to injure the bed of the
nail underneath it, for the perfect
form of the growing nail depends up
on the inviolability of the bed on
which it grows.

tnd eyes on the back of us. It's up
to us now to sliDk in the best we can.
Garments, from the bungalow apron
to the banquet gown, are slip-over,
with nary a button excert for orna
ment.
Speaking of ornament, we are be
coming indulgent. Fringe, long and
sneaking, flowers of ribbon and chif-
lon, glimmering novelties which re-
that this has become inadequate.
The tendency to make improvements
over the county this year has been
noticibly greater than for several
years past. Only recently 38 dis
tricts near Molalla combined in a un
ion high school, the Colton district
authorized a new dormrtory and sev
eral districts combined their schools,
or made enlargements
The enlargement of the school may
mean the employment of an addition
al teacher, as the number of students
has grown to a point where it is dif
ficult for one instructor to give
enough individual attention to their
work.
In the preparations for the opening
of the fall term ot school two move
ments have been distinctly noticible,
The "Moral Dress."
Fifteen ministers in Philadelphia
have gone Dame Fashion one ..beHer
by inventing the 'inoral .dress.' It ts
an attractive garment, easy and giri-
Hh, made of non-dianhmeous mater
ial, reaching within three inches of
the wearer's throat and seven and a
half inches from the ground, and does
not fit closely at any point.
For the first time, women are ad
mitted to study architecture in the In
stitute of Architecture, in . Sydney,
Australia. A number of enthusiastic
women are taking advant:re of the

and are livening it with warm orar.g-j

these colors have not already burned
themselves out after blazing through
this unparralled hot summer.
. As to sleeves, it would seem that
we must be either total abstainers or
completely soused. Sleeves are s nil
as befits Homer's "white armed

Standing with arms akimbo, the cuf

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
OAK GROVE, Or., Aug. 27. (Edi
tor of the Enterprise). I wonder if
next spring when Sheriff Wilson col
lects taxes on the gravel trucks will
he go into Multnomah county and
Lane' county and collect the taxes
from the trucks that seem to be do
ing the worfc under the supervision
of Gilbert, or will he collect them
from the trucks owned in Clac-kamas
county? As I positively know of at
least four outtside trucks ihat are
continuously working while some of
Clackamas county owned trucks are
lying idle.

Odd Miracle Saves
Truck from Smash
Hanging to the bridge literally by
the skin of its teeth, the sheerest
miracle saved a Mack truck driven by
Ed. Stovall, from crashing twenty
feet into the rocks of the Molalla
river, Thursday morning. Stovall
failed to stop the truck while backing
it around, and it crashed backwards
off the bridge approach. But the
front wheels' caught on the bridg
planking, and the truck hung perpen
dicular from the bridge.
The truck is owned by the Fall3
transfer company, and was handling
cement. The sacked load was dump
ed onto the river bank when the
truck went over. The driver was not
hurt.
The accident occurred early yes
terday morning, and it required the
entire day to get the car back on thft
bridge. The front wheels were se
cured by cables, and a wood ricking
buift up and the rear end" raised by
tbe use of jacks.
