CLYDE G. HUNTLEY IS
FOR FEDERAL JOB
Oregon City Man Nominated
For Internal Revenue
Collector
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 23.
The name of Clyde G- Huntley, of
Oregon City was today sent to the
senate for confirmation for the posi
tion of collector of internal revenue of
the district of Oregon.
Other nominations made by Pres"
dfcnt Harding were:
To be collector or customs at Port
land, Oregon, George U. Piper.
To be appraiser of merchandise at
Portland, Oregon, Edw. "V. Wheeler.
To be United Slates marshal, d's-
trict of Kansas Fred R. Fitzpatrick.
J. W. COCHRAN IS BELIEVED
SLATED" FOR DEPUTY JOB
SALEM, Ore., Sept. 23. Close polit
ical friends of John W. Cochran, de
puty secretary of state, expressed th.
opinion today that he had been of
fered and probably would accept the
position of chief deputy under Clyde
Huntley of .Oregon City, recently rec
ommended by Senators C. L. McNaiy
and R. N. Stanfield for the office of
collector of internal revenue.
Mr. Cochran, formerly of this city,
was employed as reporter on various
newspapers of the state for more than
2q years, and also served as secretary
of the republican state central com
mittee for several terms. While act
ing in these capacities he became a
close political friend of Mr. Huntley.
Mr. Cochran now receives a salary
of $3000 a year, while in the event
e should accept the appointment under
Mr. Huntley he would be paid at the j
rate of $3600 annually . Mr. Cochran
has refused to comment on the report
that he is slated for the federal posi
tion, other than he has received no
information to that end direct from
Mr. Huntley.
It was said here today that Mr.
Huntley probably will be confirmed
immediately upon the reconvening of
congress early in October. Approxi
mately two weeks then will be re
quired for the appointee to file b'a
bond and complete other arrange
ments preparatory to taking his of
fice.
The Case of John Jones
The greater percentage of fires in the congested dis
trict of Oregon City serves to stiffen the belief of
thoughtful citizens that the main fire station should be
permanently located below the bluff. Plenty of reasons
are at hand for such an opinion, and in the face of a ser-
! ious legal question concerning the availability of the Mc-
I Loughlin Park site, the council is justified in turning
i about and giving consideration to a site that would carry '
j a maximum amount of protection to the greater inter-
I ests of the city.
John Jones, (the name is fictitious) has a dwelling
on the hill and it burns, causing a loss, presumably cov
ered by insurance, to John Jones. The public has a sym
pathy for John, but further than that, it is not affected
by his loss, and John takes his insurance money and re
builds his home, finding a temporary abode for himself
and his family.
John also operates a store in the business district,
employing 1 0 people. The store burns, causing a great
er loss to John than he suffered when his dwelling was
destroyed, and throwing 1 0 people out of employment.
His store building is probably rented and his landlord
uses his own judgment and takes his own time about re
building. Meanwhile the income of Jones and his 10
employes ceases, and his clerks and other assistants are
obliged to seek work elsewhere to support their families.
The home of Mr. Jones is isolated from other dwell
ings, but the store is in the heart of the business district,
the flames spread to adjoining structures and the loss is
wide-spread. It is not unlikely that a fire would destroy
a number of business buildings, causing great loss to
the city, if not actual suffering and want.
The problem of the location of the principal fire
station is purely an economic one. It is not so much a
question of the enhancement of real estate values as that
of protection to the city as a whole.
The Enterprise cannot commend the apparent haste
of some of the city officials to spend eight thousand dol
lars for two lots on the hill, and breaking faith with the
principal taxpayers and with the people who led the
fight for the purchase of modern fire fighting apparatus.
Investigation will demonstrate that the erection of a fire
station on city property adjacent to the congested sec
tion will best serve the masses of the people.

We may live without poetry, music and art,
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.

No matter what brilliant work out
side the home may fall to the lot of

and the job I refer to is COOKING.
No race can thrive with indigestion
cr malnutrition. It is up to the house
wife to be presiding deity over the
eating of her household and to know
fod values and combinations and the
hygiene and chemistry of various
articles of diet. The tendency of the
old fashioned cook is to f eed her
family "not wisely but too welL" while
themodem enthusiast In world interests
or in business is too apt to feed her
household on "pre-digested" breakfast
foods and tin-canned products. Either
course is destructive of the fine fit
physique we are hoping to build up in
the next generation. Let us realize the
glory of our great kitchen taskcook
ing and put into it worthy effort and

Memories of Early Days Evoked by Volume Containing
Records of Administration Under Pioneers
West Linn Autoists
Visits Crater Lake
Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Winkel, accom
panied by their children. Miss Clara,
Charles and Harold, who have been
on a motoring' trip, trying their new
GraDt automobile, have returned to
their home at West Linn, after . one
of the most eventful trips. The des
tination of the family was Crater
Lake, and their desire when leaving
here waa to secure a deer. After one
day's hunt, Charles Winkel, proved a
good shot and brought down a large
deer. This they partook of while in
camp, and that which remained they
dried, and brought, back a supply of
jerked meat.
When starting on the homeward
trip they came by way of bend, Ore
gon, not realizing the distance be
tween gasoline stations, for it was
necessary to go 53 miles over a sand
covered road after leaving' Crater
Lake before they were able to get
a supply of gasoline to carry them to
Bend. The gasoline in the tank was
almost exhausted after reaching the
first station, and fear was felt by
members of the party this could not
be reached after going some distance
from the Crater Lake station.
Since Mr. Winkel had disposed of
his store at West Linn, he has decided
to see some of the country, and the
trip to Crater Lake, he says, is but
a starter, expecting to go on a number
of shorter fips before the motoring
season closes, and starting early next
spring.

Lrp in the Masonic building where
City Recorder Charles Kelly presides
among ordinances, accounts and eos
sip of the day, is an old volume,
leather bound, and dog-eared at the
bands of nearly three generations.
It is too valuable perhaps too
revered to rest among the tomes in
the closet where the Valuers d'etat"
are filed. "Dad"' Kelly keeps it in te
Bate And when he takes it out he
handles it gently. It is Volume 1; the
first record of Oregon City, a munici
pal corporation.
"Old John McLoughlin's signature
is. . . .hm. .let me see .there!" said
the recorder opening the pages; o:
laboriously penned manuscript to an
ordinance signed by the second mayor
of the city by the falls. It was in JE."iI
that that name was signed m a day
before city halls and fire ermines were
talked on the corners of Main strajt.
First Law was "Blue."
"Here," said "Dad" Kelly, turning
bacjt the pages, "What do you think of
this, eh? That that one there is the
first ordinance old Oregon city ever
had 'August 13, 18.r0. Be it ordained
that no grocer or merchant shall sell,
vend or give, or in any way dispose
of any spiritous liquor or merchandise
on the Sabbath ' Now isn't that some
thing for you Reminds me cf a few
years ago when they said 'no beer no
work,' and now they've got both."
Oregon City's first "blue law" pro
hibiting the Sunday sale of merchan
dise was signed by William Kelborn.
Mayor, and Arthur Ho'.land, recorder.
It was thought so importmt thar when,
in 1S51 the ordinances were revised.
the first one was carried into the new
statutes unchanged. That was when
McLoughlin was mayor, and when A.
L. Love joy, M-Cra f ord, P. H. Hatch,
M. Angell and L. D. C. Latourette
anwtred aye and nay to the roll call.
"Here," said Kelly, as be perched
his glasses astride his nose to get a
better view of the age-dimme I page,
"This says. 'No person or persons
shall have more than twelve and a half
pounds of powder on their premise at
any one titr.e .and that to be kept 'n
a tin canister." Some different now.
eh And somewhere here. I can't just
find it now, they must hnvc got scared
of the Indians or something, cause
they repealed the ordinance and let
'em have as much as they wanted, a Jd
built a powder magazine for them
selves down town." .
First Vehicle Law ir. 1251
Kelly glanced at a communication
upon his desk concernfng the recent
ly passed vehicle ordinance. "Walt a
minute now " as he thumbed the pages
there's one here 'ail persons trad
ing or bartering or selling goods, gro
ceries or other mechandisem shall pay
to the city collector the sum of $M"
That was Joofc at the date thai
was in 1851."
Told in the light of after-years, the
accomplishments of the early days are
bereft of much that the imagination
must supply. Phrased tn their crude
legal parlance, the records of th
pioneers reveals but here and there
the struggles, hardships, the joys and

The Day Nursery
There are many lovers of small chil
dren who would find the greatest joy
in this work, which is a form cf ten
porary motherhood, as well as soical
service and a means of livlihood. In
this way when many mothers, either
from necssity or choice, are going out
side the home to work, it is needful
that someone take care of the small
children. oT leave this to the ordin
ary "hired girl" or governess or un
trained worker is repugnant to the in
telligent mother. The Day Nursery
which is looked after by trained ex
perts is preferable. It coresponds
to the kinaergarten, only it is for
smaller children.
The Day Nursery may take care of
babies as soon as they are weaned up
to any age. It should be presided over
by a responsible woman of warm
heart and conscience as the little ones
are entirely dependent upon her for
comfort of mind and body while their
mother is absent. She should be a
rjatural kindergarten iteacher or
mother in instincts and know how to
make the hours ' interesting to those
in her care. She should also be a
trained nurse and understand perfect
ly the principals of hygiene and sani
tation, and know how to detect and
care for the physical ills of childhood.
Ther is need for the day nursery
among women of all classes. The poor

ones during hours in the factory and

Espee y3s Problem
The whistle of the S. P. shattered
reminiscent conjecture. "Dad" Kelly,
suddenly seeking through the book
for some hidden passage, turned to an
ordinance marked March 10, 1S80.
Sea what lhey started," he said. The
law read to the affect that train crews
of the Southern Pacific must blow
the whistle at Abernathy bridge on
South-bound trains, and ring the bell
all the way through town. On North
bound trains the whistle was to be
blown at the Imperial mill and the bell
rung until the city limits were passed.
an who owns the Day Nursery may
make from it a veriable sum depend'
ing upon her field and ability. The
employee in a Day Nursery would
make about as much as a school teach
er or trained nurse in that community.
There are opportunities for mothers
with children of their own to earn
something in this way by caring for
I other children while locking after
theirs.

gathered onto a belt from which the
ends widened to make the traditional
"apron-strings," symbol of repression
so detested by freedom-loving youth.
An ambitious apron had a "bib."
j climbing above the waist line and pin
ned m place at upper corners.
Those were the days before women
had learned to do houseworl in ap
propriate clothes, made especially for
the purpose; and they wore cast-off
church or party dresses in the kitchen.
Thanks be, such incongrous ap
parel has passed. Now we have aprons
in which many varieties until the
thrifty housewif has a different sort
for each various need. -
There is. the "bungalow apron"
mado pretty enough to wear all day
and just the thing for the porch or
lighter housework. If we are to do
rough or mussy work we put over this
the straight, rubberized apron which
sheds water. It merely covers the
front. For cooking, we don a white
or gingham apron on the order of the
original apron but with shoulder
straps to hold up th ebib. For serving
meals to the dearest family, we pretty
up in a white serving apron. For sew
ing we have apron with a bag front to
hold accessories. We also have the
fudge apron," which the college gir!
takes to college. This also is useful
for presents, which are not supposed
to be useful otherwise.
For the mother of tiny folks, an ab
solute necessity is a big cover-all
apron which may easily be put on and
taken off. It is on the same pattern
as , the Red Cross Apron or Artist's
apron and is meant to protect good
clothes. It is uesful to slip on when
the cook by-the-hour goes home and
leaves you the dinner to finiFh, or to
jdip over the afternoon dress or ths
Sunday dress when the hour comes to
go into the kitchen. The popular
mother of young-bloods must always
wear it at home over any dress-up
dress, for Baby will want his place on
her lap and will wipe a soiled shoe ou
her knee, and sticky hands and lips
are sure to come her way.
This is the season to make aprons.
Ginghams are now found on the bar
gain counter and the styles are very
simple. The ''slip-over" requires no
buttons. It may be one long strip j
with only under arm seams. It could
not be simpler to make and can serve
as house-dress as well as aprcn.
If the pockets of your cooking apron
catch on the door kuob as you sail by,
put the pockets on the inside and make
smooth sailing for yourself.

SITE FOR CITY

FALLS THRU
- The proposed purchase of two lots
on Seventh street frcjm Charles H.
Caufield for $8,000 to be used as a
site for Oregon City's new municipal
building is understood to have fallen
through, due to a want of support
from the members of the council, and
the option, which has about 30 days
to run, is not likely to be exercised.
It appears that a majority of the

defended, provided the $8,000 deal
could be consummated.
Mr. Eby and Mr. Schuebel will pro

action instituted by local property
owners against the use of the Mc

question will come before the court
on an argument concerning the de
murrer to the complaint.
Scope s Broad
The city hall site controversy is be
coming one of many angles, not the
least of which is an agreement entered
into last year, when suit was insti
tuted by a number of Main street pro
perty owners, whose interests lie
north of Eighth street seeking to re
strain the confruction of the hew
Willamette river bridge at Seventh
street. The complainants contended
that the bridge could be built for less
money at a location farther north,
and the filing of the action threat
ened to form an effective bar "o

early 'construction of the bridge. In

promised the plaintiffs that if the
suit should be dismissed, tho nc-w cK-y

After a storm the water which
stands about would soon become foul
in cities if it were not carried off in
p ewers. Besides this the sewers dra!n
cellars and low parts of the city and
most important of all carry off all the
waste water from the households.
Large sewers are needed to carry
off the sudden flow of storms, while
the household sewage is a steady flow
and can be carried in small pipes. It
is also found that it is dangerous to
let household sewage flow into streams
for it carries disease germs. For this
reason most cities are now putting in
a double system of sewers: one for
the storm waters and one for the
household sewage. The latter is taken
io purification tanks and purified be
fore beiner allowed to run Into streams.
Chemicals are sometimes used for
this, but they are expensive and not
satisfactory. A recent discovery
shows that there are friendly germs
present In sewage which will destroy
disease germs if they have a chance.
The plan now is to provide tanks in
the system where they may accom
plish this. Eventually all household
sewage will be required by law to be
purified before it is permitted to be
disposed of. Better plans will doubt
less be developed. The whole process
is very expensive, but necessary; and
the cheaper plan is to Install the right

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. The na
tional unemployment conference
which the administration hopes will
evolve means of putting the nation's
involuntary idle back to work, was
formally opened here today by Pres
ident Hardin.
Addresing' the half hundred indus
trial economic and labor leaders com
prising the conference t he president
described the present industrial de-
pression as "a war inheritance
throughout the world," for which as
applied to the United States, he add
ed, "would have little enthusiasm for
any proposed relief which seeks either
palliation or tonic from the public
this year..
Will Affect Worid
Belief was expressed by the presi
dent that the results of the conference
would be felt beyond the borders of
the United States and that the dele
gates in their deliberations would be
performing "a service to the world."
Fundamentally sound, financially
strong, industrially unimpaired, com
mercially consistent and politically
unafraid," the president asserted.
'there ougfrt to be work for every
body in the United States whe chooses
to work, and our condition at home
and our place in the world depend
on everybody going to work and pur
suing it with that patriotism and de
votion which make for a fortunate and
happy people,"
Says Readjustment Needed
The president declared that the
"open, sure and onward way" to rid
the- nation of the war's aftermath, of
depression involved "liquidation, re
organization, readjustment, re-establishment,
taking account of things-
done and sober contemplation o f
things to be done." Any other way,
he added, was ''only hugging a de
lusion."
The delegates were told by Mr.
Harding that they had not been in
vited into the conference "to solve
the long controverted problems of our
social system" and that Secretary
Hoover, whom he had designated as
chairman of the conference, would
lay before them the program of discussions.
