DEATHS FROM PREVENTABLE
DISEASES.
Forty per cent of the persons who
died in Chicago, during the month of
December last died of preventable
diseases. That is to say, they died
needless deaths. Pneumonia and tu
berculosis claimed more than half of
this 40 per cent, and science cata
logues both as "dirty air" diseases.
"The urgent need of the times,"
says a hicago board of health bulle
tin, in discussing the subject, "is the
proper airing of homes. If you will
not keep your windows open at night,
you at least should give your sleeping
room a thorough airing before you
retire. The other rooms should be
ventilated at least twice a day."
! People generally do not seem to ap
preciate that death lurks in badly
ventilated apartments. Attempts to
maintain comfort and avoid colds by
keeping rooms warm at the expense
of fresh air defeat their very purpose.
There is greater need for fresh air
in the winter than in the summer

TREATIES
CHE warlike proceedings
in Europe at present
are a flash from the
past, a passing recurrence of
practices of savage times. I
do not believe they are the
prelude to a period of general warfare. The world is now moving
backward. It is NOT GOING BACK TO THE HABIT OF
WAR. . .
. Everywhere I hear most encouraging news about the attitude of
the people toward the arbitration treaties with Great Britain and
France. In practically 200,000 churches the ministers are urging the
ratification of the treaties.
The public sentiment in favor of these treaties ha grown stronger
day by day.
IF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND GERMANY WERE TO MAKE
THESE ARBITRATION TREATIES WITH THE UNITED STATES IT
WOULD HAVE A HIGHLY SOBERING EFFECT UPON OTHER NA
TIONS. These troubles that we, are hearing of now in Europe. and in
Asia do not disturb my faith in the ultimate success of the peace
movement. Today the man who enlists in the army or navy enters
about the safest of all vocations. There is only the "REMOTEST

NEW PREMIER OF FRANCE.
His second attempt, in an interval
of twelve years, finds M. Raymond
Poincare successful in forming a new
cabinet in France.
The first effort was made soon
after the death of President Faure
and the election of President Loubet
to succeed him. The Dreyfus affair
had the republic in a turmoil and the
fear that the entire army might es
pouse the royalist cause and restore
the monarchy was general. A com
bination of Socialists and Radicals,
with anti-Semites, Boulangists and
Royalists in the chamber of deputies,
overthrew the Deputy Minister, and
M. Poincare was called upon to form
a new cabinet.
Poincare had made a number of no
table speeches espousing the cause
of Dreyfus, though he attempted to
separate the prosecutors, of the Jew
ish officer from the army as an or
ganization. He was alsccpunsel for
Colonel Picquart, who had exposed
the Dreyfus conspiracy and for whom
life had been made miserable.
The task of forming a new minis
try proved too much for Poincare at
that time, and it was passed on to
Waldeck-Rousseau, who successfully
guided France through one of the
most critical crises fn her recent his
tory. The new premier has served in the
chamber of deputies and the Senate,
has acted as minister of p.ublic in
struction and minister of finance, is
a lawyer, artist and writer, a stead
fast Republican and a member of the
forty Immortals. His premiership
augurs well for France.
Chicago has a painter named Zero
Marx. He should feel at home now.
"Even if a man changes his mind,
it ought not to embarrass him," says
Dr. Woodrow Wilson. How the Bal
timore June gathering will feel upon
the subject will continue to give the
good doctor considerable anxiety.
After reading his testimony before
the Stanley committee one cannot es
cape the conviction that Mr. Carnegie
is more familiar with statues than
statutes.
The first exhibition of local pro
ducts ever held in the Philippines will
open at Manila in February. No anti
imperialists will be displayed. They
are essentially a Nebraska product.
Saying the time is not ripe for the
election of a woman to the highest
deliberate body in the world, Mrs.
Sarah Piatt Decker has declined to
become a candidate for United States
Senator from Colorado. Mrs. Decker
is wise in her day and generation.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
BRIDGE CLEANING URGED.
Morning Enterprise. To the Editor:
At this time of the year when the
falls are most beautiful, nearly every
visitor who comes to our town walks
out on the bridge for a view of the
river and the mills that is, if they
possess the courage and hardihood to
wade through the slush that covers
the east approach.
There seems to be a legend to the
effect that it was once customary to
have this bridge hosed off occasion
ally, but it certainly has not been
done in modern times.
The larger percentage of Oregon
City's citizens are obliged to cross
the bridge every day to their work,
and find it something of a hardship to
wade through slush so thick that
even on sunny days it does not dry.
City officials say this is a matter
belonging to the County Court", and
the County Court has said that it be
longs to the city, so in the meantime,
visitors to the poultry show should
be warned to bring their galoshes if
they wish to view the falls.

FALLS HURL AGED LOGGER TO DEATH
(Continued from page 1)
Louis Smith, son of Mrs. Peter
Smith, of Canemah, recovered the
launch a3 it floated under the suspen
sion bridge. It was overturned and
virtually a wreck. Several men in
skiffs searched for the body but it is
probable that it will never be found.
It is generally believed that Bernart
was thrown from the boat before it
went over the big falls. He had a
wife and eight children, five of the
latter having been by a former mar
riage. Bernart logged for George Brough
ton for many years, and had for some
time had been employed by Portland
companies. The Broughton mill was
washed away in j.890. He also had
worked for Frederick Schafer, of Mo
lalla. Peter Nehrent, who knew Bernart
for forty years, said Wednesday night
he was one of the most conscientious
workers that had ever done service
on the river here: "He was always
busy," said Nehrent, "and had accu
mulated considerable property. He
had rigged up a little cabin on his
launch and frequently when he came
to this city he would sleep in the
craft. He also cooked his meals on
it."
Many fatal accidents have occurred"
at the falls and only one man has ever
gone over them and escaped with his
life. The fortunate man was Harry
Freeman, who with his father, George
Freeman, his brothers James, George,
Jr., and Mr. Shannon were in a boat
that was carried over the falls in the
spring of 1903. The bodies of one or
two of the others were not found
Edward Boyles was carried over the
falls and drowned in 1898 A com
panion, Edward Brown, jumped out
the boat and saved himself by cling
to the breakwater. Frank ' Perkins
and homas Scollard were drowned
there in 1892, and Charles Stewart
was a victim in 1891. It is also said
that many Indians have lost their
Jives by being swept over the falls
in canoes.

A Fish That Looks Like Seaweed.
It is a well known fact that many in
sects, birds and animals have a way
of simulating leaves, twigs, foliage
and tall grasses among which they
seek shelter, but who ever heard of a
fish imitating seaweedV The Aus
tralian sea dragon is a kind of sea
horse, but one strangely transformed
by extravagant trappings. It is so
richly ornamented with loose and flap
ping ribbons of skin that it looks like
a bunch of seaweed when traveling
through the water, and the ravenous
wolves of the sea searching for food
may pass it a dozen times a day with
out suspecting that the innocent look
ing bit of seaweed is really a fish.

MOTHER S WAGES.
What about mother's wages?
Father gets his wages, the boys get
theirs, and the girls get theirs. No
body pays mother's wages.
Father does not pay mother's wages
because he says it takes all of his to
pay the bills and make both ends
meet.
The boys say they must have good
clothes and some spending money and
they cannot pay mother.
And the girls complain that their
small earnings must go for gowns and
hats and ribbons.
Mother merely does the family work
without pay.
Mother gets up early to get break
fast for' father and the boys and hur
ries them off to their work. She gets
the girls a dainty bite and then warms
up the scraps for the little ones who
go to school.
Mother eats between times.
It ts mother who all day long sweeps
and scrubs and dusts and sews and
cooks and hustles in the meantime to
get two more meals.
After supper father sits down to his
pipe and evening paper or goes down
town to talk politics. The boys dress
and go out. , The girls have company.
But mother washes the dishes and
gets things ready for breakfast, and
then sits down to mend and darn
socks until bedtime.
Eight hours?
Mother works eighteen.
And the next day and the next and
the next, so long as she is able to be
out of bed. mother keeps up this
exacting routine, while the others get
all the playtime.
Suppose the family were to employ a
housekeeper for this work. She would
demand mighty good pay for these two
shifts in one. And perhaps she would
throw out the back kitchen door as
much as her wages.
But mother pinches and scrapes and
saves.
Is it fair?
Mother should have her wages. Let
father give her most of his. She
will make a dollar go farther than he.
Let the boys save a little and pay
mother something for their keep, and
let (he girls buy less chocolates and
pay their mother something.
Try giving her a regular allowance,
aven if ir be small, and watch her
face brighteu until she looks almost
s young as her girls. She will not
spend it on herself. Trust mother foi
that.
- Pay mother ber wages.
Two Kinds of People.
Some people are always grumbling.

complain of. Others are happy any
where. They see beauties and bless
ings all around them.

"These American scientists," said
Dr. Holwig-Sheinberg, original investi
gator at the University of Bonn,
"make me tired. I have Just read an

nal stating that one of them has dis

in living organisms, or rather of re

is the same thing. He has been ex

mouth and looking through his spec
tacles at Dr. Holwig-Sheinberg in as
tonishment "I did," replied the other.
"Why, then, did you not announce
your discovery?"
"Because the only case 1 ever per
fected demonstrated that it is not best
to interfere too radically with nat
ural processes."
"You had an experience?"
"I had; one that admonished me to
permit persons to grow old in the nat
ural way."
"Do tell me about it: I am dying of
curiosity."
"Well, I began just where this Amer
ican began. I made cultures of bac
teria, observed the cause of decay and
hunted for a serum to prevent it. I
failed in this, but discovered one that
would kill th'e decaying bacteria for a
certain period and capable of contin
uing the process ad infinitum. I will
not attempt to give you in a nutshell
investigations extending over a period
of ten years whereby I at last succeed
ed in applying my discovery to human
beings. All I shall attempt to do now
ts to give you the principal reason why
I did not announce my discovery to
the world.
"When I had succeeded in keeping
monkeys young and frisky my next
step was to try my serum on the next
and. highest type of animal life man.
I had received pecuniary support in
my investigations from Baron Wobel
and, after trying two or three experi
ments on subjects, announced to him
that I could keep a man at the same
apparent age from the moment I began
to treat him for an indefinite period.
The baron was much interested and
asked me many questions concerning
my process what danger there might
be to the patient, my ability to contin
ue it and what would be the result for
him after my death. I satisfied him on
most of these points, whereupon he
told me that a commoner. Herr Schof
fenholer, enormously rich, was desir
ous of uniting his wealth to the bar-'
on's title. Herr Schoffenholer had a
daughter aged twenty, and the baron
had a son aged two. These were the
only children born to either family.
The only way to unite the wealth and
the title was to marry these two. But
the difference of age was an insur
mountable difficulty.
" 'Now. said the baron to me. 'if yoti
tan keep Franlein Schoffenholer at her
present age till my son Is old enough
to marry the two interests may be
united.'
"Here was a chance to try an exper
iment under favorable conditions. Aft
er numerous family councils at which
a great deal of opposition was raised
Herr Schoffenholer decided the matter
by compelling his daughter to submit
to my treatment. I was not informed
of this compulsion or that the fraulein
was In love with a young guardsman,
a few years her senior. Had I been I
would not have consented to act in the
matter.
"I began my treatment on the frau
lein's twentieth birthday. She re
sponded admirably, and I saw at once
that the serum which I injected under
the skin of her arm was taking effect.
1 found th these injections needed
to be made once every twenty-two
days, for or the twenty-third day a
new birth of cell destroying bacteria
came up to recommence the process Of
decay. . -
"It was not long before I learned of
the love affair betwen the guardsman
and the fraulein and that clandestine
meetings were taking place at long in
tervals to be sure between them.
Since the fraulein remained youthful
and the guardsman was growing older
his love for her grew in proportion as
the difference in their ages lengthened.
What effect this increasing difference
had on the fraulein I did not learn,
for she kept her feelings to herself. I
offered to decline to continue my treat
ment If she wished it. but she told me
that, having acceded to her father's
order, she would carry it out to the end.
"Seventeen years passed. The baby
boy Wobel was nineteen, the fraulein
thirty-seven and the guardsman forty.
The latter had never married, and his
love for the fraulein had grown to be
a dominant passion with him. He was
getting gray and bald and showed oth
er signs of coming old age. On the
contrary the girl he worshiped had all
the freshness of youth. Her beauty
had not been in the least impaired. It
was quite natural that a man who was
now too old for other girls of the frau
lein's age should cling to her. especial
ly as she had kept pace with him in
that experience which matures the in
tellectual powers.
"Baron Wobel would not consent to
the marriage between his son and
Fraulein Schoffenholer till the former
came of age. The young man was
within a few weeks of twenty-one, and
preparations were being made for the
wedding when I received a hurry call
to the Schoffenholer residence. I found
the fraulein very ill. This was unfor
tunate, for within a few days it would
be necessary for me to give her an in
jection of the serum, and in her weak
ened condition I did not know what
the effect would be. Indeed. I dare
not administer it
"For a time the fraulein's life hung
in the balance. Then she began to
mend. I left her under the care of
the family physician and did not see
her for a month. When I saw her
again I was shocked. From a girl of
twenty she had become a woman of
over forty, and her illness had made
her look ten or fifteen years older than
that. Her hair was- almost -white,, her
skin yellow and wrinkled, her teeth
badly decayed and ber figure bony and
angular. Indeed every feature which
would have decayed gradually without
my treatment had broken down with
in a brief period.
"Here was en embarrassing situation.
Young Wobel had shown every willing
ness to marry the girl his father had
provided for him. not only on account
of her fortune, but because of her
beauty, which was that cf a girl, and
her intellect, which was that of a ma
ture, woman. But now what would he
say when he should see her? Her fa
ther begged me to resto.e her youth
and when I told him that I' had no
power to do so stormed at me for a
fool and an idiot
''Young Wobel was not permitted to
see his fiancee till a few days before
the proposed wedding. When he met
a woman who looked to be over fifty,
and much broken at that, he collapsed.
There was no use in trying to induce
him to marry her. Indeed, at her age
a marriage would be fruitless and its
object defeated.
. "I, was placed in a very unfortunate
position. Every one seemed iti consid
er me to blame for the affair, though
I had done only what I had been re-'
quested to do. I felt very sorry for
Fraulein Schoffenholer. for I was
obliged to admit to myself that had I
permitted her to grow old as nature
intended she would not now have been
suddenly plunged into her present dis
tress. In order to make amends I
wrote a note to her guardsman lover,
informing him that the lady he had so
long loved was now free to marry him
However, I thought it best to permit
him to observe her changed condition
for himself. He replied, thanking me
for the information, which he declared
had 'thrilled him with an ecstatic hap
piness.' "He called upon her. When the poor
woman saw his shocked expression at
her altered appearance she held out her
arms to him, putting on just such an
appealing smile as would be seductive
in a girl of twenty, but was horrible in
a broken down old woman. He tried
to respond, but failed. After a brief
Interview he excused himself and has
never seen her from that day to this.
Recently I received his wedding cards
and have learned that he is to marry
a girl of sixteen.
"As for the fraulein, who had It not
been for my interference with nature's
laws would now have been the wife of
the guardsman and the mother doubt
less of grown sons and daughters, she
is a withered spinster., I can never for
give myself for being the cause of her
misfortune.
"This Is the reason why 1 have never
either prosecuted my discovery or" given
it to the world. It remains for these
Americans who are upsetting the tra
ditions of centuries to proceed in their
reckless course to defy nature's laws
and to make themselves generally dis
agreeable to the rest of the world. 1
would like to get this fellow who has
made this so called discovery, keep him
young for a matter of thirty or forty
years, then let old age come upon him
at once, to see how be would like the
transition. So long as they confine
themselves to colonies of bacteria or to
guinea pigs or monkeys there is no
harm done, but when it comes to jump

DEMAND TOR SPUDS
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Though trade in the potato market
has not yet reached the proportions
expected at this time of the year,
there is a fair outward movement now
under way, and in the event this con
tinues and improves, as in all probab
ility it will, the chances are that dur
ing the next two months a very con
siderable portion of the Oregon crop
will be marketed.
Whether a clean-up of the marketa
ble surplus in this state can be offect
ed between now and the end of the
season, however, is yet to be deter
mined, but on the whole the outlook
would seem to be rather favorable. In
California and the states on the Mexi
can border the demand appears to be
stiffening and broadening, and the
prospect is for heavier rather than
lighter shipments in that direction as
the season advances.
The' size of the available supply in
this state is wholly a matter of guess
work. Dealers do not pretend to have
anything like an accurate line on the
total of farmers' holdings, but that
the supply is materially greater tha
that of this time a year ago is gen
erally conceded. At the same time
the market is in much better shape
than a year ago, for crop failures last
season in many of the Eastern states
have worked to the advantage of the
Oregon growers, so the outlook can
hardly be regarded as unfavorable.
On the other hand, a matter to
which buyers for shipment out of the
state are constantly calling attention
is the poor quality of much of the
stock now offered in this state. The
proportion of fancy stock in the last
crop harvested in Oregon is said to
have been a good deal smaller than
usual, and this naturally is a factor
of importance in the marketing of
the output
For the most part fair to good grade
Burbanks are being sent to the South
ern border states, and for these at
shipping points buyers are paying 95
cents to 1.10 a hundred. The San
Francisco trade almost wholly calls
for strictly fancy stock, which is none
too plentiful in this state. For such
potatoes buyers are paying $1.10 to
$1.20, with occasional lots of extra
quality stock going at $1.25.
