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. . Zona Gale a Suffragette.

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!" ' Earning a Legacy.
