How owners of out of town real es
tate without . railroad transportation
of any kind can consider their inter
ests best served by fighting rights of
way through their property for elec
tric car service is beyond the realiza
tion of most people, especially In this
era of prosperity when connection
with a city by electric car service is
looked upon the world over as an
absolute necessity. These owners
don't care to give rights of way for
connection with Oregon City, as wide
awake a city as any many times larg
er, but want connection with Portland.
Meantime their prosperity lies miles
from anywhere with little chance of
improving in value, and, at the same
time, preventing their neighbors from"
going ahead, from getting the bene
fits of civilization's devices of trans
portation, preferring themselves to
use the old time worn plan.
It is such a people as this who
prevent, or at any rate, retard the
growth of a district people who con
sider self wthout regard even of them
selves, but we are thankful that the
number who reside in Clackamas
County is gradually being reduced
and that some day the remain
der will be laid to rest for the young
er generation is being taught the ways
of the'world toward prosperity.
Only Women In This Orchestra.
A woman's orchestra, named the
Orchestra Femina. with Mr. Siegfried
Wertheim as conductor, is the latest
London novelty. Mr. Wertheim has
been working for a long time gathering
his forces together, for he decided that
It should be an all British institution,
and now he appears to have succeeded.
He has got together forty women, ev
ery one of whom is capable of playing
solo parts. Mr. Wertheim contends that
in the course of his search he has come
across some real "discoveries."
Hitherto in the case of such instru
ments as the oboe, bassoon, trombone
and the heavier wind instruments
there have been no women exponents
if very high rank. Mr. Wertheim has
liscovered English players of such in
struments who are gold medalists of
London. Paris and Brussels.
The only feature about the perform
ance of the Orchestra Femina that will
not, be all British will be the music.
Ur. Wertheim shrugs his shoulders at
that idea. His is to be a high class or
chestra, and so he must rely on foreign
produce for his programs, though pop
alar music of English make will not be
excluded. .

Information was received in th:3
office Thursday from Mrs. P. E. Tim
mons, of Ketchikan, Alaska, who was
formerly Miss Lizzie Pankratz, of
Oregon City. She went to Alaska
about nine years ago, and states that
she has been a subscriber for the Or
egon City Enterprise all that time,
and expects to be a subscriber for
many years longer. Mrs. Timmons
writes that there are a number of for
mer Oregon City people in Alaska,
who are always anxious to hear from
their old home town and eager to
read the paper upon it3 arrival. She
says that Katchikan is growing and
has a population of 1,500. The sun
has been shining there for the last
three weeks, and the weather is de
lightful. The Wedding Ring Finger.
The third finger of the left hnnd has
from Ion? usage been conseernred to
the wedding ring, t This nsape comes
from an ancient belief that from this
finger a nerve went direct to the heart.
So completely was this fanciful p-eop
of physiology confided in by the Greeks
and Romans that this was termed, even
by their physicians, "the healing On
ger." It was used to stir their mix
tures from a notion that nothing poi
sonous or hnrmful could communicate
with it without its giving immediate
warninj; by a palpitation of the heart,
says the Indianapolis News Th's su
perstitiou yet prevails to a consider
able extent among the country people
of western Europe. Together with tbte
is the belief even more widely current
that the wedding ring will promptly
remove warts and other excrescences if
they are rubbed with it.
As a gift of love or sign of betrothal
rings were in use in ancient Egypt
and in Assyria. The Jews from a re
mote age have made the ring a most
Important feature of betrothal and in
the. marriage ceremony. (According to
the Jewish law, it was necessary that
this ring should be of value.
It is therefore examined and certi
fied by the officiating rabbi and chief
officers of the synagogue when it is
received from the bridegroom, whose
absolute property it must be and not
obtained on credit or by gift. There
was then, as now. an exchange of
rings between Jewish contracting par
ties. Shakespeare recalls this custom
most sympathetically when Shylock,
Informed that his daughter Jessica has
given a ring for a monkey, exclaims
with an outburst of grief and anger:
"It was my turquoise! I had it of my
Leah when a bachelor. I would not
have given it for a wilderness of mon
keys!" '
