THREE GOOD MEASURES
We have a council bent on doing
BEAUTIFUL WILLAMETTE
The water continues to flow over
the great Willamette Falls year in
and year out, countless small streams
doing their part to make the Willam
ette the important river it is, not
alone to navigation, but for power
purposes. This stream at Oregon
City now provides 40,000 H. P. for
various .uses and directly ana indi
rectly employment for many thous
ands of men and women. There is
plenty of power going to waste eight
months of the year, still we go by
on our way hardly noticing the grand
eur of the Falls, and thinking little
of its great value to our community.
Work for our citizens is so regu
lar and pay days as regular as the'
days of the month 6ome and go, that
we who live here don't even give the
matter passing thought.
Let us all work together to keep
our conditions such that we can com ¬
mand our portion not alone of the
natural increase, but of new indus
trial plants as well, for after we are
all dead and gone, the old Willamette
will still wend on its way to the sea,
providing the wherewithal to pros
perity for all within its reach.
WASH OUR STREETS
We have a street sweeping crew
lifting the dust from one side of the
' street and letting it fall back on the
other side, picking up a small portion.
Our present postoffice is our best ex
hibit in our favor. ..
The weather man seems to have
mixed his- dates or else his chemist
got the wrong prescription for May,
for we have been having an unusual
brand of May weather to offer our
travelling friends. Still, it could be
worse, and the man behind the count
er selling straw hates and summer
underclothing must have his day. The
man in the wet goods trade thinks
the warm weather behind time and
has no complaint to make other than
that.

things for the people, the greatest" weU meant WQrk goes on nignt
good for the greatest number. If
they keep up their present gait, they j
will surely have the record one hard
to beat. Still, in a matter like the
expenditure of $10,000 for an eleva
tor, they have done a wise thing in 1
leaving it to the public to decide for
themselves.
We need an elevator as much as we
need anything else. We build streets
and sidewalks for the travelling pub
lic by vehicle or foot but force our
mothers, with many small tots, to
carry the heavy part of the home
work and when they do get a chance
to get out-and get an airing, either
for pleasure or on business, tney
must climb down and ' back up that
, long flight of steps.
Children, get out and work for the
elevator for your mother's sake, and,
at the same time, do your town a
great work in suppying a City Dock.
With these two measures passed
you will be rewarded with a play
ground second to none.
Fathers, help your wives and moth
ers. Mothers, help yourselves.
Everybody get together and there
is only one result Victory for all
three.
after night, but without much better
ment of the condition of the street.
Why not provide this crew with
100 feet of good rubber hose 2i inches
and have them walk down the rail
road track after midnight, hosing the
dust into the gutters, not only clean
ing the street but laying the dust for
the following day's busy use thereof.
This we think can be done at no
greater expense than the present
plan and the water belongs to the
city already.
NEW FEDERAL BUILDING
Congress this year will not again
take up the matter of a new postoffice
for Oregon City, but Congressman
Hawley, from our district, is loading
his guns and cartridge belt with in
formation of the proper sort to take
it up the first thing next session, the
early part of 1913.
Leave it to the Live' Wires to keep
the matter warm and to remind our
Congressman (and we'll have more
representation at the next session)
that we are in need and ready to ac
cept whatever is seen fit under the
circumstances.
If any one doubts our need we in
vite him to investigate for himself.

Proceedings

: By I
Several Oregon City men own cot
tages, at Seaside, and the news of the
big fire Sunday night caused much
uneasintess. Seaside Is ' familiar to
orobably half the citizens of this
town for this resort has been a fav
orite mecca for many summers.
Those attending the High , School
the other evening were delighted
with the proficiency shown by the
students in their debate. The ability
to address a crowd is not always eas
ily achieved but is an art worthy of
every exertion to achieve.
.
The appearance of the street
sprinkler caused more commotion
than the last parade.
And now the pressman's strike
jumps, to San Francisco and ties up
all the daily papers. A newspaper is
a necessity these days and a stagna
tion of business will inevitably result
if the papers cannot be published.
.
Of course it is the same old story
but wood dealers tell us to "buy now"
as the price will surely advance. Port
land now pays f 6 a cord for wood thai
costs us $4.
And now a Russian composer ingo
ing to compose a smphony, based on
the Titanic disaster.
.
In spite of the thousands of books
sold all over the country right along
it has been shown that only five per
cent of the citizens of the United
States are habitual book buyers.
Since the primary election the mail
carriers have been having compara
tively light loads. No more campaign
literature or free seeds being scat
tered around.
The big steel bridge at Sunnyside
which is nearing completion is a cred
it to the county and to the officials
who are responsible for its installa
tion. -
It seems that the old fashioned
"cake walk" is coming back to favor
and soon the Texas Tommy and her
relatives will get "the hook
Yesterdays score only gave cause
for another deluge of howls from the
local fans. Some of them declare they
would like to bet.two to one on Nick
Williams' bunch should they connect
up with the Beavers.
- While the choicest locations are all
filed upon, every now and then one of
our townspeople leaves to take up
160 acres of Government land.
CHERE has recently been a
considerable amount of
discussion of divorce in
the public press, and the
time is fast approaching when it
will be necessary for the general
citizen to form definite opinions
Upon proposals for probably quite
EXTENSIVE ALTERATIONS
OF OUR PRESENT DIVORCE
LAWS.
I cannot conceive how any log
ical mind, having once admitted
the principle of divorce, can hesi
tate at making entirely homo
wrecking things the basis of ef
. f ective pleas. But in another di
rection some strain of sentimen
tality in my nature makes me hes
itate to go with the great majority
of divorce law reformers. I cannot bring myself to agree that either
a long term of imprisonment or. the misfortune of insanity should in
itself JUSTIFY A DIVORCE. I admit the SOCIAL CONVEN-
LENCE, but I wince at the thought of those tragic returns of the dis
possessed. So far as insanity goes, I perceive that the cruelty of the
law would but indorse the cruelty of nature. But I do not like men to
INDORSE THE CRUELTY OF NATURE. - ' '
And of course there is no decent minded person nowadays but
wants to put an end to that ugly blot upon our civilization, the PUB
LICATION of whatever is most spicy and painful in divorce court
proceedings. It is an OUTRAGE which falls even MORE. HEAVI
LY ON THE INNOCENT THAN ON THE -GUILTY and which
has deterred hundreds of shy and delicate minded people from seeking
legal remedies for nearly intolerable wrongs.
THE PUBLICATION OF CONTEMPORARY DIVORCE" PROCEED
INGS IS A NASTINESS. A STREAM OF SOCIAL CONTAGION AND AN
EXTREME CRUELTY, AND THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT WHAT
EVER OTHER RESULT FROM' IMPROVED LEGISLATION MAY OC
CUR THIS EVIL AT LEAST WILL BE SWEPT AWAY. -
Portland politicians are still busy
explaining how Lafferty received his
nomination.
The local Elks have ordered their
suits and some of these evenings will
start to drilling in hope of landing
one of the parade prizes.
.
Another Booster Day celebration
during the Elks' week in Portland
might be a good stunt. Some of
those Easterners would have their
eyes opened could they view some of
Clackamas county's prize livestocK.
Let the farmers drive their cows to
town next time.

What promises to be one of the
memest wars for fish supplies is
started along the Columbia and Will
amette rivers.
The actioif of a Columbia river
packer in sending its fishermen to the
Willamette this year, where they are
getting the bulk of the salmon sup
plies, has so enraged Portland whole
salers that they have begun to retal
iate by invading the lower river.
Since the salmon business began in
this section, the Willamette river has
generally been considered the exclu
sive buying section for the Portland
fish trade, while the same interests
never molested packers in their pur
chases along the lower Columbia. '
Since the Columbia packers have
invaded the Willamette field the
wholesalers have decided to go to the
Columbia, and have already secured
a boat which is running from St. Hel
ens to Portland. Another boat will
be put on to secure supplies further
down the Columbia. . r
All sorts of prices are being" paid at
Oregon- City for salmon. Tile pack
ers say they are not paying above 7c
a pound, the value quoted along the
Columbia, wholesalers, say that they
are offering 8c, and would secure the
bulk of the fish if packers were not
offering that much or more. In any
event most of the Willamette salmon
is going to packers.

S commander of the rescue ship Carpathia Captain Arthur H. Rostron
became one of the principal figures in the Titanic tragedy. On re
ceiving the wireless call from the sinking vessel he changed his course
and ordered full speed for the scene of the disaster. The Carpathia
made the fifty-eight miles to the Titanic in three and one-half hours. After the
survivors had been taken aboard the ship Captain Rostron ordered a thanks
giving service, meanwhile maneuvering the Carpathia among the wreckage In
the hope of picking up other survivors, but without success. He has followeu
the sea for twenty-seven years and has been with the Cunard line since 1S05
He has been In command of the Carpathia for only a few months Captain
Rostron appeared before the senate investigating committee and told at leugiii
the story of the'rescue.
EASTHAM PUPILS
T
Meade Post, Grand Army of the
Republic, and the Women's Relief
Corps visited the Eastham School
Tuesday morning, and today will visit
the Canemah School and the West
Side School. The pupils of the East
ham School rendered a delightful
program, and the veterans were par
ticularly pleased with the manner in
which all of them conducted them
selves. It was the unanimous verd
ict that the pupils presented as fine
an appearance as those of any of the
schools which the post and relief
corps have visited.

DARROW'S TRIAL
TO START TODAY
(Continued from page 1)
HERBERT G. WELLS. Author
les county, who prosecuted the Mc
Namara brothers, will be in command
He will be aided by G. Ray Horton
and other deputies who worked with
him in the McNamara trial.
Judge George H. Hutton will sit on
thetrial. - Hutton is presiding judge
of the superior court of Los Angeles
county, and he assigned the case to
himself after there had been much
speculation as to the probable selec
tion. '. .".'''
Attorneys for both sides and popu
lar opinion agree that the trial is
likely to be long drawn out Owing to
the widespread familiarity with the
case and the intense public interest,
it is believed that the selection of a
jury may consume several weeks. The
great time absorber, however, doubt
less will be the certain battles over
the admittance of evidence. This,
many believe, will provide the main
battle ground of the trial.
The courtroom in which the trial
will be held is located on the second
floor of the Hall of Justice. Seating
accomodations have been provided
for only fifty spectators.
Macaroni.
Macaroni prepared in any of the vari
ous ways in combination with cheese,
butter and tomatoes is nourishing.
Wanted Silk Hats Abolished.
Some yer.rs ago an attempt was
made by certain meinbrrs of the mu
nicipal council of Courteuil. France, to
make ths .wearing cf a top hat illegal,
the grounds set forth for the measure
being that the sight of a silk hat is a
humiliation to" those who cannot afford
to wear one, that it Is both unbeautiful
and unne esTai- as Jin article of attire
and also, chiefy; because it is worn
mostly by J'.ri.r.a. rats who lire by the
sweat o"f the poor an! iui:itate.l a.sainst

S!is Lost ro Time.
A colored' attorney v.'lUed rapidly
into the courtroom the other day, fol
lowed by a large colored woman. She
had her sleeves rolled up to the elbows
and .appeared to have come from the
washtub. Her manner was business
like. - '
"Ah wants to probate mah husband's
will," she said.
The judge went through the usual
procedure. He read the will and asked
the usual questions. Then he began
making the usual notations.
"And when did he die?" the judge
asked-
"Jes. about a half hour ago," was the
answer Indianapolis News.

THOMAS BROWN SELLS
STAND TO NEW ARRIVAL
Thomas Brown, who has conducted
a fish market in this city for the past
four years, has sold his establishment
near the Southern Pacific depot to
Stinson, who recently arrived in Ore
gon with his family from Minneapolis
Minn. Mr. Stinson was for four and
one-half years in the fish business in
Minneapolis, and was in the meat bus
iness for eight years. He has rented
the building belonging to Mrs. Ros
ina Fouts, two doors east of the pres
ent stand and will move his market
to that place.' He intends to sell
poultry also; Mr. Brown has decid
ed to spend part of the summer in
the vicinity of Mount Hood, but has
not set the time for leaving for that
place. He will engage in trapping.
Tha "Tootums."
Johnny started in at school
He recites the Golden Rule
(Not the rule of three).
But every morning you can hear
Him recite a table queer.
And It puzzles me
It's the Tootums family. -Twelve
of them there seem to be. .
Such odd people too.
For I cannot understand
All about this Tootum band.
Such queer things they do.
"Tootums won ertu" dear me!
Now, what can "ertu" be
That a Tootum's won?
I've asked Tommy to explain.
But he cannot make It plain
Just what Tootum's done.
"Tootums threer's sick" poor thlnffl
Thus does Tommy ever sing
"Tootums forer ate."
What he ato I do not know
"Tootums ate a sixteen," though
I've heard him relate.
Tommy knows the Tootums well.
But he really cannot tell
Of this family anything. i
But he says that Is the way
That the children every day
Stand In line and sing.
