There never haa been a time In the hlatory of the world when euch great thlnga were done aa are being done now, and the future will, I - believe, bring even greater thlnga to do than the prenent dream a of. AVe are too prone to think that the boy In New S'ork or Chicago or aome other place la the one who will do these thlnga, when. If we will look for them, we ahall find (hern at our very doors.

SYSTEMATIC PLAN OF WORKING OUR ROADS ADVISED BY DR. M. C. STRICK- LAND, WHO RIDES THEM BY DAY AND BY NIGHT. ' Editor Enterprise: I wish to give my view on th question of Inaugurat ing a more ayatematic plan for work ing our public roada. I will atate very briefly that I am In favor of a better ystem and greater efficiency In the work upon our roada than In the past, so that tho tax pay ei will get more value for the vast amount of public money expended each year. There la no- other country In the world where tho population la more heavily taxed than In thla State, and the taxpayer la beginning to wonder what 1 being- done with hi Jnoney. Wo now have In thla county more than 60 road diatrlcta, and we hare CHERRY TREE. fully CO different meihoda of Improv ing public roada, for every supervisor has a method of hla own and proceed to experiment at the xnne of the public, regardless of the amount of money that ha waates. , To be plain with you, I am In favor of a more substantial system so that at the end of the year we can look back and see that we have accom plished something I our road work for the amount of money that haa been expended. Roada must be Improved In order to develop the country. dl trlcta, but that la no sign that the tax payer should be systematically robbed through Incompetent road, supervisors. Road work la a aclence, and In order to get the best reaults ,a taxpayer la entitled to the very beat .ability that the Court can employ to execute tbe work. If you ahould build a school houae. a dwelling house or a bridge, you pro cure plans and specification for that work from aome competent man skilled In that line of work and you aee that the structure la built by skilled workmen so as to get tbe best results for the money expended, and public road Improvements reouire the same s mount of sktlj, but anybody, re garaiess or wnemer ns is coiniwiiui. can come Into the County Court and be appointed road eupervtaor and go out upon the public highway In. hi own diatrlct and there proceed to ex perl men t In hla own way, and at the end of the year, there la nothing ac complished but an Increaaed tax roll I am firmly of the belief that In a large county like Clackamaa where vast sum of money are expended each year. upon, our public highways that the taxpayer la entitled to have that work done under the aupervlsion of a good, capable, honest and efficient road master, so that the taxpayer can begin to realize that he la getting at least some value for the. tax that he la paying each year.

I -fiOIDS i i CLUB STANDS FOR RAILWAY ACTIVITY PROMOTERS OF MOLALLA LINE TO LAY DEFINITE PLANS FOR EARLY CONSTRUCTION. PROPOSEMFOR BEAVER CREEK Survaya, Plata, Necessary - Engineer- Ing Completed Recommended That Word Bo Done On Division plan. Activity In the promotion of a plan looking to the early construction of an electric railway leading out of Ore gon City Into the Molalla country, through Reaver Creek, la noticeable, and Grant D. Dimick, W. A. Huntley, U Adami., Geo. A. Harding and O. D. Eby on Tueaday submitted a prelimi nary report of their Investigations to the Live Wire of the Oregon City Commercial Club and after, being promised the hearty and unanimous support of that organization, were re quested to proceed and work out a definite plan of operation. It la prob able that a masa meeting of the cltl ten of Oregon. City and Clackamas county will aoon be called for the purpose of fully discussing tbe propo sition. It Is embraced In the tenta tive plana of the promoter to proceed cautiously, at aa little expense as pos sible, and first obtain funds for the grading of the road from this city a far aa Reaver Creek, when It la ex pected additional funda will be forth coming. The following report waa submitted by Mr. Dimick and waa approved by the other member of tbe committee: We have exercised our best endea vors to formulate a plan that we con sider absolutely feasible and perfectly safe so aa to guard the Interests of all who may join with us In carrying out the proposed plan. FIRST Tbe surveys, plata and all necessary engineering haa been com pleted and the result of all that work can be easily obtained from the party who now haa It lp hla possession on reasonable terma and at actual cost, the cost and term to be settled ab solutely by five good reliable busineas men who are residents of Clackamas County, Oregon. SECOND We would recommend that the proposed work be done by divisions: The first division to begin at Oregon City and extend to Beaver Creek. Clackamaa County, Oregon; the second division to begin at Bea ver Creek and end at Mullno, Oregon; the third division to begin at Mulino, Oregon, and extend to Molalla, Ore gon. THIRD hegarding the proposed construction, we submit the follow ing: That subscriptions to stock be taken on stock subscription notes properly safeguarded so that no undue advantage or bad faith can be prac ticed upon the subscriber, and that our first efforta be centered on the building of the road from Oregon City to Beaver Creek by. procuring sub scriptions aa above mentioned to the face value of 112.000.00, 15 per cent of auch subscriptions to be paid Into one of the banka In Oregon City. Ore gon, when the grading upon aald pro posed road I commenced, and when the grading haa been completed upon the first mile, an additional 25 Pr cent of said subscriptions shall be paid aa aforesaid, and when the grad ing has been completed for a distance of 4 miles from the beginning point, an additional .25 per cent ahall be paid, and upon the completion of the grading for the first 6 mile from the beginning point, then the balance due on said subscriptions ahall be fully paid, Into said bank. It being the In tention and purpose to complete the grade on the first division above men tioned with the subscription herein hefom set forth so that the ties, rails and bridge may be herearter com pleted. ,fter the grading has been completed from Oregon City to Bea ver Creek a distance of 6 intlea. we feel that the laying of the track can r. aoctHnnlibhed for a reasonable sum Hinder a aafe and Bane bonding sys tem, and we herewith sunmu tne es timated cost per mile as furnished us by the United Steel ft Equipment Co. Estimated cost per mile by using 40 pound rails la approximately aa fol low: Ralls $2,677.50 f Angle plate. 150.00 Sllkea . 6 Ties Bolts t i.uw.vv. 25.00 I 13,912.50 tv. rb material for 8 miles at $3,912.50 pr mile makes a total esti mated coat of $23.475.uu. FOURTH We further submit for your consideration that by carefnl management In the grading and con ........ t l.-.n nf aa id nronosed road for the first division the total cost of con struct Ion per mile Including grading, laying track and bnagea can im ac complished for $8,000.00 per mile or total of $48.ooo.u. r-it-Tii vv also aubmlt for your consideration that the grading on said proposed road can be accomplished without one aouar 01 inuui-uin!n, and If allowed to proceed, that object will be accomplished ;hy proceeding with work a the'money Is paid into the treaaurv from stock subscrip tions so that when th grading ta finUhed on the firat 8 mnea, me " will be paid for In full, and the only Indebtedness which the company would Incur will be a bonded Indeb luinui fnr track construction and rolling atock after, the -grading ha been completed. , aivTiitf at an time during the progress of the work outlined above any other company daslring to take ni tt,m work and nnlan tne HMM irum Oregon City to Molalla, all work ac compllahed by thl company can be transferred to the purchaalng com pany upon term which thk company may deem Juat and equitable. We of fer these suggeatlona for tho reason that the moment other comnanle aee th people of Clackamaa County mean business they will Immediately place obstacles In the way by circulating rumor that certain other companies are going to Immediately proceed with the aame work, and thereby discourage our local people from proceeding farth er along the lines above mentioned. SEVENTH. The plana outlined and which w submit for your consider ation are aa follow: That tbe by law of the corporation provide that no Indebtedness for the grading or the work above outlined shall be Incurred except current expenaea, and then only when there I money In the treasury to meet the obligation in full when the claim are audited and presented for payment. That the number of director shall be 7 In number; 5 of whom ahall be bona fide resident of Clackamas County, Oregon. EIGHTH.-? A railroad built from Oregon City to Beaver Creek would be a substantial foundation for one of the beat paying proposition ever Inaugur ated In Clackamaa County, for th reason that It would furnish to the In terior land owner a mean of easy transportation for all produce raised, and also a market for all 'wood, logs and lumber that would naturally come from tho timber sections of tbe county near the line, and tbe completion of the first division would put the com pany In a position to begin to reap a revenue from the money invested.

LIVE WIRES ASK FOR RECIJUTO Govammant Representative Makoa - Investigation of Condition in City and File Report full of Detail. The fact that Oregon City ha o ordinances governing weight tpd meaaure, and no authority to correct evil that may exiat may not be gen erally known, but It ha been called sharply to the attention of tbe Live Wire through the report of the Bur eau of Standards, whose representa tive made a thorough inspection of local condition laat December. Thl report was obtained by John Adams, chairman of the Live Wire special committee on weight and measure, and upon It finding an effort will be made to- Induce the city council to enact strict ordinance that will pre vent Incorrect weight and provide for tbe examination of scale. This matter will be brought up by Mr. Ad ams at an early meeting of the coun cil, with a request from the Live Wires for the drafting of an ordinance that will cover tbe ground. Some feature of the Government' report are of especial Interest to resi dent of this city, and extract follow: "Oregon City ha no Inspection of. the weight and measure In use, no local standard of weight and measure, and no local ordinance on the aubject designed to procure for the consumers of the city the amounts of commod ities represented Dy tne merchants. Moreover, the county authorltlea pay no attention to this Important matter and, as a result, the consumers and honest merchant have no official pro tection whatever agalnat fraudulent weight and measure. "While some of the errors are un doubtedly accidental in character, fraud la nevertheless indicated by such a preponderance of errors In favor of th user of the scale. - We -believe such a record a thla indicate most strongly the need of an official to eliminate the existing errors, not only for the protection of the consum er, but for the protection of the honest merchant as well, who must of neces sity be greatly hampered in hla busi ness by1 the .dishonest competition to which he Is subjected."
