"Opportunity" waa the aubject of an
unuaually liitereatlng addreaa given to
the etudent of tho Oregon City high
achool at the Aanembly hour Tueaday
by County .School Superintendent
(lary, who talked entertainingly and
pointed to higher thlnga In life that
may be attained by diligent effort.
'The ancient aculptora.". aald Mr.
Oary, "repreaented opportunity aa a
fleet footed young man with a fore
lock, and the only way to hold him
waa to graap him by the forelock.
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

ahall find (hern at our very doors. I

"My anawer la that you must watch
for opportunity and alere him by the
forelock before he passes. I will say
to the young women present that you
ran ahlne In a home and there la no
better setting for many of you than In
a happy American home. You say
Where la my opportunity?' Don't
worry about that. He will come along
in due time and you will slexe him by

"In the field of Invention I cannot

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

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. Your very truly,

Activity In the promotion of a plan
looking to the early construction of
an electric railway leading out of Ore

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

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.

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."
