ter of a mil'ion dollars..
No figures on the valuation of ih
public service corporations have ret
teen received from the state. Iist
year their valuation was $5,369,623.11.
The assessment total -ices nor include
this figure.

assessed valuation, Mr. Cook pdints
out that in 1917 the figure for tn
county was $23,29rt,44.V In 1919 tbi

moral life of the community. Not oid

rve part in the building of bettc
standards and the realization, of hi,l
er ideals, he said.

sent?d unexcelled possibilities forp.i'j

mumiy and assume her real position

Beifinning with Monday, October 24.
nd e-nding SaturJay afternoon at 5
o'clock, there were 395 visitors in the
rest room of Oregon City conducted
1 y the W. C. T. U. Acting as hostess
es and the number of the visitors for
each day ara as follows: Monday, Oc
tober 24, Mrs. A. B. Rintoul, hostess.
54; Tuesday, Mrs. Mavgaret Stewart,
50; Wednesday, Mrs. Chandler, 01:
Thursday, Mrs. William Baldwin, 41 .
Friday. Mrs. A. O. H-iilingsworth, 61,
Saturday, Mrs. Elizabeth Glover, 125
On Saturday Mrs. Stewart served hit
vegetable soup to those desiring the
fame when bringing their lunch to the
rest room. The vegetable! were from
tbe Stewart garden and donated by
the hostess, who has planned to serve
hot victuals at a nominal cost on her
day ag hostess, whivih is the fourth
Tuesday of each month.
As these members of tbe W. C. T.
'.i. are donating their services eacl
day to act as hostess to the many
visiters, who are given the privilege
free of charge to rest in the easy
chairs or on the couches that have
been provided tihe home-like room, or
whee they may have other accc-rii-)-
dations, they have found a
'shower" of wood to be a most accept
able) gift There are many in therurl
ectiens who could easily place a few
sticks of wood in the.r wagen or au
tomobile to town and donate to tbe
rest loom. This would be greatly ap
preciated by the women. A few days
go one of the hostess took up h'ir
duties for tbo day, and found that tbe
ticks of wcod remaining were toj
much for her to split, as they wcr.;
filled with knots, and before a fir
could be made to warm the room, sj-j
had to scurry for some one to Siiit
the wood. This was also paid out 1-y
ifce W. c- T- u- Eery stick will !
count. If every farmer wno came it
town on Saturday would bing one
small stick of wood, t'lere is no dcubt
but that the rest room of Oregon Ciry
would have enough wood to last drr
ing the winter months SntuiTiay, No
vember 5th, hss been designated C3
-wood day" for the O'Cgcn City rest
room. If yem have an extra stick,
brin it along.
One visitor from Canby was in the
room a few days ago. and exclainwd
" I did net know this room was here.
t.nd now dont see bow Oregon City has
done without such a place." While
another was from a Willamette valley
city, and said "I am soing to tell tjo
women of our city about this ret-
room and see what ve can do to .s
Mblish such a place.'
A telephone, which among 'the co:;
venb-nces ot the rooii. is at the dis
posal to the visitors without charge,

Regulation of the stagjes and busses
which run through Oregon City is
proposed in an ordinance which pas.-.-ed
on first reading at the regular meet
ing of the city council Wednesday
evening.
Tbe proposed ordinance provides
that all "Interurban Public Utility Ve
hides" operated through Oregon City
from a point outside of the corporate
limits of the town must obtain a fran
chise No provision as to the terms of the
franchise is made, but it. is provided
that each franchise shall be granted
by ordinance which shall specify the
arrangements for that particular case.
The proposed law, however, provides
a penalty of $50 line or SO days im
prisonment or both, fji failure to se
cure a franchise while operating.
Matter Long Considered
It is understood thit the proposed
law is aimed especiallj at the busses
operating- between Portland and
iem and the heavy ditty trucks whicn
carry freight over tb-j Pacific Mn
way. The matter has been discusse I
at tbe council numerous times but
this is the first official action to be
iake:i. The final pascage of the or
dihance is scheduled for a special
meeting.
The council, at the special request
of property owners appearing to bao'i
up a petition signed by 14f. people, or
dered the city engine r to determine
the cost of repairing the bridge on
Madison street above the Barclay
school. A number oi those present
spoke of the bad condition of the
structure, but the cou cilmen pointed
out that no funds for i;p repair would
be available until after the passage of
the budget for next v- ar. v
Bie'.s for the improvement of foui
streets, submitted by V. D. Andrews,
the only bidder were refei red to the
street committe The bids. are: Front
street in Green Poin". $4560.30; loth
from Harrison to Division, . $12,2.S-i;
Harrison, 15th to 16th, $1760.00;-Hai-lison,

Estimste Claims Refused '
A bill presented by the city engineer
to al-ow W. D. Andrews payc.ents on
monthly estimates for work done on
the f th street contract, was refused
ipon advice of the citv attorney th;;.
there was no provision in the charter
under which this me.'bod of payment
could be made Mr. Andrews pointed
out that the specifications up ri
which bids were submitted stipulated -that
monthly payments upon the
work completed would be paid, a.ii
suggested that this be changed so con
tractors wou:d be able to bid upon thi
proper basis. He said ihat if the co-i
tractor is fo-ced to ci-rry the entire
expense until the jot is completer,
the ultimate cost will be greater.
Reports submitted showed ihat the
collections o? the city recorder during
October amounted to $1104.92. Of this
amo-int $90 was raised ihrough the ve
hicle tax. The chief of police report
ed fbat there had been one arrest
made during the month. 50 hoboes
given lodging in the jail overnight,
and i'nes totaling $40 collected.

Estacada Fruit Co.
Shipments are Big
QrJy 130 boxes of fruit remained in
the warehouse of the Estacada Pack
ing company following a car shipment
to Portland last week.
It has been declared that farmer? :
realized nearly five cents a pound for
their berries this year, on account of
the semi-co-operative method used i.i
conducting the cannery.
As a result of incorporation -papers
filed by a group of growers, nej t
season will witness a repetition of the
co-operative cannery system.
