A Question On Monday evening
there was considerable discussion in
the council as to the manner of pay
ing for the "improvement" of Center
street, and . other parts of the city
on the bluff. It is a question, with us
whether Center street has been . im- -proved..
As a property holder we
should test the .matter in a suit by
law before paying any charges on ac
count of what has been done. We
think the labor expended has been
valuable but not to he adjacent pro
perty by any means. It only serves
to carry out the design of the original
appropriation, to-wit: repairing roads
leading into the city. As a permanent
improvement to the street we do not
regard it as at all satisfactory. In
fact, one half of the property is left
isolated from the street on account
of the improvement.

To Teuton Finance
BERLIN, Sept 19. The German
people before the war, the thriftiest,
next to the French, have become the
most extravagant in the world. This
assertion was made at the annual
meeting of German savings bank offi
cials, who are in conference here.
Professor Terhalle, a well known
banking expert, analyzed the situation
as follows:
"The saving instinct of German peo
ple has been checked by the continu
ous drop in the value of the mark.
Where before the war every pfen
ing was counted and the average cit
izen was satisfied if every week he
could put 5 marks in a bank, he now
gladly spends 1000 marks for a bottle
of inferior champagne.
r "Who knows whether, our money
will be worth anything at all tomor
row he asks himself. , if we do nave
100,000 marks the tax collector comes
around and takes away 70 per cent of
it, and our neighbors call us profiteers
in the bargain. So why not spend it
all. Life is too short to wait for the
mark to go up again." 1

and more extensive plane. The policy
and system ' it adopted and has con
sistently pursued since its organiza

not only the commercial and manu
facturing Interests of the city and
country, but also actively promoting
and fostering all 'matters of interest -and

of the farmer, horticulturist,
dairyman and breeder of improved
live-stock in the county of Clackamas.

its new building, situated upon one
of the most prominent street corners
in Oregon City. The spacious struc

vaults for both bank vaults and safety

court yesterday on traffic violation
charges. Louis Flora paid $10 for driv- far

$15 for speeding. The arrests were
made by officers Wilds and Hughes.
New Wheat The Imperial Mills of
this city have been engaged for two
weeks past flouring from new wheat.
The grain brought to the mill thus
is of better quality than usual,
which is perhaps owing to the fact
that we never had finer weither in
Oregon for securing crops.
