PROBE INTO LIVING COST.
A nation-wide investigation of the
food, supply of the United States,
with special reference to its relation
to the high cost of living, has been in
augurated by Commissioner of Com
merce and Labor Nagel.
The - secretary announces that ' the
inquiry will be the most comprehen
sive ever undertaken in this country.
He will send experts all over the coun
try to visit fields, factories and stores
in an effort to get facts that will help
in solving the problem which so vi-

conditions.

tutions are not vulnerable to the same sapping and destructive
influences which have undermined and destroyed other republics. But
I believe we are yet TOO YOUNG TO DIE and ought to be
TOO YOUNG TO BE DISCOURAGED.
There are thousands and thousands of people, with the number
daily increasing, who would like to feel safe in their persons, safe in
their workshops and homes, who would like to feel that JUSTICE
CAN BE ADMINISTERED ALIKE TO THE RICH AND
THE . POOR and that we have not one government for the honest
business man trying to be right and another for those who are ruth
lessly preying upon the rights of others and of the public.
I DO NOT EXAGGERATE AND I DO NOT MISSTATE OR OVER
STATE WHEN I DECLARE THAT WE ARE EVEN NOW IN OUR
YOUTH THE MOST LAWLESS OF ANY OF THE GREAT CIVILIZED
NATIONS. THERE IS NO COUNTRY OF FIRST IMPORTANCE WHERE
THERE IS SO LITTLE RESPECT FOR THE LAW AS HERE IN OUR
OWN REPUBLIC-

A RAILROAD wreck .with some remarkable features occurred recently at
St Peters. Mo The engine and three cars of a Wabash express train
left the track while running at full speed past the station and toppled
over on one side of the track, whil a fourth car, hurled to the other
side, plowed through the concrete wall of the station, entirely demolishing It
This car and a part of the wall are seen in the lower of the two pictures. The
upper is a view of the heap of wreckage after the fire which followed thj
accident This heap was all that was left of the train and station. The rails
were torn up for 200 feet. Thirty-two people were Injured, but none killed.
tally affects the American people.
The investigation is a timely one
and should prove of great value. It
may be able to show where the dif
ference Is added in price between the
producer and the ultimate consumer,
and it should indicate the relations of
the supply and demand, which are in
exorable. The completion of this report will
be awaited with great interest, as its
subject matter affects the people in
the most important manner possible.
GENTRAL STRIKE THREAT.
The threat of a general strike of
coal miners in Great Britain is a grave
menace to the security of the nation.
The gravity of the situation and the
forcible manner In which its serious
ness has impressed itself upon the
government is shown in the action of
!tne admiralty, in taking steps to make
sure of a supply of coal against a pos
sible famine. Ships have been char
tered and an effort is being made to
replenish the coal supply at Britisn
naval stations all over the world.
A shortage of coal in her naval
equipment -might spell disaster for
Great Britain.
The, situation once more proves that
a strike is not the proper method of
settling a labor dispute.

Live Wirelets
(By Edgar Bates.)
As i3 generally known, whenever
Uncle Sam is asked to improve his
postoffice in any city, there are two
unpleasant things he considers rela
tive to the proposed change. The in
crease in population and postoffice
business, or postal receipts go hand
in hand, though of the two the in
crease of postal receipts looms up as
a mighty important factor. So it
stands to reason that the more busi
ness done by the local office will fur
ther the chances of a new federal
building. One would really think that
the large consumers of stamps, that
is the big mills, manufacturers and
merchants would all buy their stamps
here in order to make a larger show
ing for the local office. ' But in times
past certain ones have not purchased
their stamp supplies here and the pur
chasing of these essentials of business
elsewhere is a direct slapat the Com
mercial Club, the Live Wires, and all
those who are attempting to advance
the city. If any people are still doing
this back-hand work against the city,
the Live Wires ought to know it and
take action.
- , "
When it comes to positive knowl
edge about the matter we remain
silent, but a "little bird" told us that
the young ladies of the city are con
sidering one of those up-to-date leap
year hops one of that kind of af
fairs you read about. Particulars la
ter. We are not working for any trans
portation company, but the next time
you have any friends com to town
to visit you take them for a ride to
Willamette. Overlooking the beauti
ful Willamette, one gains first hand
knowledge of how large our city really
is. The High School looms up in
splendid style, -
The Eastham school, and various
churches, showing . up prominently,
with old Mount Hood topping over all,
as if she were in the city's back yard.
Leaving the station a close view of
the mills and electric station are
gained while the view of the falls
from the car window is gorgeous.
Traveling up the hill a little farther
to the south. Rock Island and sur
rounding - country form" a pretty
scene, only to be equalled by other
Clackamas county scenery. The lit
tle town of Willamette is itself very
interesting and out beyond the city,
Tuallatin river shows up in all at
tractiveness. By all . means take a
car ride- some of these days. '
The girls of thestate have at least
one true friend. He is the justice of
the peace in a near-by county and
will marry any couple free of charge
if the girl makes an affidavit that she
really did the proposing in the little
affair. Here is where our famous
local knot expert loses out.
As a local organization of musicians
in the city is being assisted by the
Commercial Club in the formation of
a first-class band we hope this sum
mer to see announcements of popular
Sunday afternoon concerts by the
Municipal Band at the City Park. Ev
eryone likes good music and it would
afford all of us much pleasure In look
ing forward to a series of open air
concerts this summer. The City Park
is admirably "located for such' pur
poses, the city owns plenty of benches
and we fail to see why our hopes can
not be fulfilled, .
Oregon City is a proud city. Proud
of her recently improved streets, her
water, system, school system, mills,
falls, bridge, daily and weekly news
papers. She Is proud of the class of
people who claim this city as their
home town. " Proud of their spirit" of
progressiveness and their onward
march of progress. " Proud of her Com
mercial Club as a club and of its mem
bers individually who are so earnest
ly striving to upbuild the city more
and more. - - -
It is recognized that music and
musicians form a very important part
in a city's progress or inactivity.' Go
to any live town and you will find
a number of splendid musicians, who
in working for the advancement of
their art, are also involuntarily assist
ing in the upward growth of the city,
both morally and in business. Music
and musicians stand for the better
things in life, the higher things as it
were. Oregon City has reason to be
proud of her musicians. She has sent
her children to all parts of the coun
try even to Europe, and wherever
they have gone . they have gained
signal success, thus bringing praise
and fame to their city as well as to
themselves. We can recall half a score
of young women who received their
Inspiration for their love of music
right here in Oregon City. More than
oneof these young women, after
years of preparation here, went East
to receive the finishing touches to
their musical education only to return
to the glorious West to gain new
laurels for themselves and their own
home town Oregon City.
Every time the Sdear public" reads
of the tragic death of an aviator they
usually pass It off with the thought of
"another reckless birdman." While
it is true jthat a number of these un
fortunate accidents have been the re
sult of foolhardy attempts to perform
some sensational stunt, yet not the
majority of these cases are the re
sult of recklessness. Men are attract

Hint For Stenographers. .
A prominent physician is respons)
ble for this assertion; "Any young wo
man stenographer, quick and alert
can earn extra money if she will learn
medical terms and apply for the posi
tion of stenographer at the various
medical meetings held every Week in
large cities. It calls for a good educa
tion, some knowledge of Latin, and it
will be necessary for the applicant to
learn medical terms, and learn them
quickly; also to acquaint herself with
physiology if deficient in thatstudy.
There is a great demand for help of
this kind, and because most of the
meetings are held at night very few
apply for a steady:- position, but it
opens a lucrative one to the ambitious.
A line of this work would soon lead
up to a very responsible position In a
chemical house, where wages are
usually the very best because com
petent help Is not always obtainable
for that office." ' '

SPUDS FOR SHIPMENT
T BE
Efforts of dealers to secure more
than a nominal amount of potatoes for
outside shipment are still resulting in
failure. Practically the only business
passing at this time is in ordinary to
quality. Choice potatoes are unobtain
able at any price. "
The sjtuation resembles that of a
year ago in so far as the holding back
of supplies by local producers is con
cerned. However, the situation a
year ago in other repects was just
the reverse of the present showing.
There was a very heavy crop in the
East during 1910, and owing to the
small crop along the Pacific Coast,
shipments were made to southern
California by points far east of the
Rockies.- Then Eastern potatoes were
offered to Los Angeles at $1.75 per
cental f. o. b. the California city,
while Idaho stock was available at
$1.60. Oregon growers would not sell
at any price.
Now the East is short of potatoes,
and Eastern Oregon, as well as Idaho,
