PERSIA HELPLESS.
Persia is a stranger to the plan of
enumerating population by census,
but the number of her inhabitants is
estimated at not more than 10,000,000
possibly less. Russia has a popula
tion of 165,000,000.
The Persian army embraces about
30,000 poorly equipped, poorly trained
soldiers. Russia keeps about 1,200,
000 warriors under arms; She r can
put 1,300,000 men in the field. Her
strength on paper using all available
reservists and garrison troops, mounts
to almost 4,000,000.
Persia has no navy worthy of no
tice. Russia has a weak navy, but it
is superior to that of Persia.
The Russia imperial government
revenues are about $1,250,000,000. The
national income of Persia will not ex
ceed $10,000,000 and she is lucky; when
she gets that.
These facts make apparent the help
lesness of Persia as against Russia
and explain her surrender to the de
mands of St. Petersburg.
THE DREAM OF BLAINE
Former Senator Henry Gassaway
Davis of West yirginia,chairman of the
Pan-American commission, comes for
ward with the statement that the pro
ject for a Pan-American railroad is
no idle dream, but "that it is within
the range of possibilities that a rail
road will reach the isthmian canal
by the. time it shall have been com
pleted, thus making possible a journ
ey by land from Washington or any
part of the United States to the banks
of that great watershed. Only 170
miles of the line are necessary to con
nect with the railroad building south
ward from the City of Mexico to com
plete the uninterrupted track to the
canal."

80ME DAY EVERY PHYSICIAN WILL BE AN EXPERT IN AND
TEACHER OF NUTRITION. TODAY 1 DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS
A SINGLE CHAIR OF NUTRITION IN AMERICAN MEDICAL SCHOOLS.
Often enough we find ourselves being combated by the men who
should be helping us. I mean "expert testimony." I've heard reputa
ble physicians testify in court that, because they had taken some drug
02s CE and it HADN'T KILLED THEM, they considered it harm
less.' My greatest wealth lies in having the confidence of the medical
profession of this great country. The American physicians are our

A Plucky Nurse and Her
Reward For Saving Life
ACT
CTING on behalf of the Canadian
Darling, treasurer of the General Electric company, recently present
ed to Miss Sarah Lane of Schenectady the medal of the society. This
was done in recognition of the heroism of the young woman, who last
summer saved Miss Eliza Knapp from drowning at Point du Chene. New
Brunswick. The illustration shows the medal and Miss Lane in the uniform of
a graduate nurse, for she expects to continue her work of saving lives as an
everyday occupation.
Ever since the days of James G.
Blaine, who wanted Americans to
dominate this entire hemisphere, the
Pan-American railroad has been a fond
dream of American , statesman. Sen
ator Davis' ' prophecy will probably
come to pass. But it is quite unlike
ly that travel by rail to Panama will
become popular for many years to
come. The links in the great chain
of railroads are owned by various cor
porations and operated for-local traf
fic. Travel on them would not be un
like a journey by trolley from New
York to Chicago, a trip that is pos
sible but very seldom made because
of the delays and vexations incident
to frequent changes of cars. -
TO ENCOURAGE VOTING
A bill providing reward for attend
ance at primaries and elections is to
be proposed and considered by the
Massachusetts Legislature.
The rewards appear in the shape of
provisions that the poll tax for an
alien shall be $2 a year and for a cit
izen $8, with a reduction of $2 for each
primary or election that the citizen
attends, except that no tax shall be
imposed if the citiaen attends every
primary and election. The bill makes
disability a valid excuse for non-attendance.
There has long been a feeling that
the poll tax operated as a deterrent
and thu3 contributed indirectly to the
success of fraud and corruption at the
polls. The proposition to enact leg
islation for compulsory voting has en
countered serious objection and now
comes a plan of encouraging voting
by offering a reward.
The operation of the plan, if it be
comes a law, will be watched with
interest throughout the country.

THE SON'S DECALOGUE.
First Thou shalt honor thy father
and thy mother in tbe flesh and shalt
heed the counsels of thy father and'
bring joy to the heart of thy mother.
Second. Thou shalt keep thy soul
free from guile in the midst of a crook
ed and perverse generation, and thy
body pure, that thou mayest dwell
long in the land the Lord thy God hath
given thee.
Third. Thou shalt not profane the
name of thy God with thy-lips, and
thou shalt order thy speech as in the
sight of thy mother or thy sister or
thy sweetheart, that they may respect
thee.
Fourth. Thou shalt not spend thy
strength, but shalt save thy vigor for
the tasks that are before " thee, and
thou shalt not drink strong drink nor
consume thy body, and contaminate
thy soul in dissipations.
Fifth. Thou shalt not get thy money
by graft, neither risk thy capital in
games of. chance nor in the specula
tions that bring disaster, and thou
shalt beware the board of trade, which
consumes the substance of fools.
Sixth. Thou shalt not speak nor act
deceitfully to thy neighbor. Thy yea
shall be yea, and thy nay shall be nay.
so that thou shalt be like a great rock
in a weary land and a covert for the
weak.
Seventh. Thou shalt not dodge thy
head -when thy enemy vaunteth him
self, nor shalt thou flee when no man
pursueth thee, nor shalt thou fail be
cause of the. sneer of him for whom
thy soul eatest nothing, but shalt
stand four square to all the winds that
blow upon thee.
Eighth. Thou shalt not quit thy
school ere tftou hast finished (save for
necessity's sake) that thou mayest take
a cheap job for the sake of lucre, but
thou shalt diligently study thy books
to the end thereof that thou mayest
know what is the good way of life.
Ninth. Thou shalt not covet the
easy job nor look upon the snap that
is soft, but thou shalt take the hard
Job, which the vain man avoideth, be
cause if thou shalt take tbe little job
thou shalt be but a small man.
Tenth. Thou shalt not turn away
thy face from thy father and thy
mother that brought thee up, nor from
thy kin of blood that loveth thee, nor
from him who hath been faithful to
thee for many days, nor be guilty of the
sin of ingratitude.

Long muownovu.
In 1753. in the ninety-sixth year of
her age. died Jean Countess of Rox
burghe. She was not a very remarka
ble wpman, but her memory is pre
served on account of her long widow
hood, which lasted seventy-one years.
Her father, the first Lord Tweeddnle.
fought at Marston Moor in 1644. This
Countess of Roxburghe's long widow
hood is insignificant when compared
with that of a certain Agnes Skinner.
According to an inscription in Cam
berwell church, this worthy woman
died in 1499 at the age of 119 years,
having survived her husband only
eight years less than a century. Lon

Marking a Bullet.
When a leaden bullet traverses cloth
characteristic marks are left upon the
projectile which are not obliterated by
the subsequent passage of the bullet
through flesh, provided that it does
not strike a bone. It is even possible
to identify the nature of the garment
through which the bullet has passed
by a careful examination of the marks
on the lead.
Napoleon's Model Library.
Napoleon once tried to make a list of
all the books in the world which were
worth preserving. He believed when he
sat down to hla task that a thousand
volumes would suffice, but the list
grew under his hands and ultimately
included 3.000 volumes. Even so, how
ever, there were omissions of. which
Edmund Gosse, as well as the general
reader, would have been likely to com
plain. When the emperor came to
look over his first list he found that
be had unaccountably left out the
Bible. In his second list he forgot to
mention not only Vergil and Shake
speare, but very curiously, Moliere.

OREGON CITY BID
HAS FINE REHEARSAL
The Oregon City Band has at last
found itself. Without doubt the re
hearsal of Tuesday night was the
best in its history. Every man Jack
went away satisfied with himself and
the band. It was an evening well
spent. For the last three weeks, the
band has been a part -of the Philhar
monic Society ,and is now to be
known as The Philharmonic Military
Band of Oregon City. It is under
the direction and leadership of R. V.
D. Johnston.
After a somewhat checkered history,
covering many years, the organiza
tion is in a position to come into its
own. The material has always been
here, only the leadership was lack
ing, and in R. V. D. Johnston the
members of the band feel they, have
both leader and inspiration. The
first public appearance of the band
will be at the Poultry Show, and, a
musical treat as well as a delightful
musical surprise is in store for those
who will be fortunate enough to be
present -
F
RE-ELECTS OFFICERS
At the annual meeting of the Bant
of Oregon City Monday evening in
the bank building the directors were
re-elected as follows: Charles H.
Caufield, T. L. Charman and George
A. Harding. The reports of the of
ficers, which showed the bank to be
in an unusually prosperous condition,
were read and approved. The direc
tors re-elected the following officers:
Charles H. Caufield, president;
George A. Harding, vice-president;
E. G. Caufield, cashier and J. R.
Humphrys, assistant cashier.
POULTRY SHOW TO
HAVE LOCAL BAND
All arrangements will soon be com
pleted for the big poultry show which
is to be held in thi3 city on the second
and third of February. The Oregon
City Commercial Club has taken the
initiative in bringing about the exhi
bition and have furnished a competent
manager to see that the affair goes
through with success.
When the show was first planned it
was thought that one floor of the Ma
sonic building would accommodate all
the fowla but it was soon determined
that the largest building in the city
was -necessary. The entire armory
building has been engaged and from
all prospects every inch of room will
be occupied by the coops. This is a
poultry country with a number one
rating and when a show Is held, it is
always a good one.
Cats and belgian hares will also
take an important part in the show
and it is expected that a good dele
gation of both will appear.
One of the special features will be
the exhibitions of the educated roost
er, "Dollar," who in charge of his
young mistress, Mildred Smith, who
is but eight years old, will show the
visitors that chickens as well as other
animals have sense. He will do all
the tricka of any trained animal such
as counting, obeying commands, bow
ing, etc-
The Philharmonic Military Band of
Oregon City, under the leadership of
R. V. D. Johnston, will play concerts
each evening and the moving pictures
and lectures on the poultry industry
will add greatly to the attractions of
the show.

ment had much in its favor. Ad

how hard it is to get a man to buy
for." Detroit Free Press.
GETTING RICH
A few get rich quickly, tut it is generally done on the install
ment plan. .That means spending less than one earns and increas
ing the bank balance step by step.
Many a man has lost what he accumulated by trying to be his
own banker. It's hard to accumulate money out of a bank.
