RIVER SANITARY ASSOCIATION
This association formed in Portland
not long since has a great work set
out to be accomplished, one which
will do our city and county greater
good for the money and energy ex
pended than many other organizations
combined. It is the object of the San
itary Association to prevent the Will
amette river from becoming contam
inated by dead eels and other fish
which in previous summers have be
come a vile nuisance to those who en
joy boating, bathing and fishing on
this beautiful river.
The Live Wires have taken an in
terest in the matter and it is to be
hoped that the business men will do
their part.
ROAD BILLS
Compromise is the one best way to
settle disputes. We. are promised
five to six road bills on the ballot at
the next general election. The Live
Wires want a compromise and one
good strong practical bill which will

To Segregate a Corporation
Doesn't Regulate a Man
til
We Are
Living
Entirely
In a
New
World
By GEORGE
W. 'PERKINS
Ik TO thoughtful, intelligent man can deny the fact we are lir
I ing in a new world a world almost wholly unknown to our
I 1 forefathers, and we are using little of their fabric save
honor and integrity. ' Without doubt our political repre
sentatives and many of our statesmen have utterly failed to read
aright the signs of the times. - -
Bloodshed and riot followed the 'labor saving machines, but now
they are accepted and protected. And now we are passing through
almost a parallel experience with our corporations.
They have created FEAK AMONG THE PEOPLE just as
the other machines did, but in place of being destroyed by workmen
these corporate machines are being TORN ASUNDER BY THE
. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ITSELF.
The true American has no such fear. He FEARS THE METH
OD OF THE BLIND POOR He has the right to know from the
government what is being done by great business enterprises in which
his money is invested.
Wo are afraid of a. dishonest, corrupt, unfair, selfish man, and we
must learn to regulate and control the actions of men. We must have
LAWS THAT WILL PUNISH A MAN WHO COMMITS THE
CRIME, not the stockholder or the public which is being served.
TO SEGREGATE A CORPORATION DOES NOT"REGULATE A MAN.
serves and js usually rewarded with
success, in any event let's vote for
good roads.
While on the compromise why not
get our political and industrial friends
together and settle their differences
without carrying the matter to the
Legislature. The Enterprise is strong
for what is the best for the greatest
number and until we have all the in
dustry our city and power can handle
it seems folly to take a stand which
will retard our growth.
WATER BONDS
The eager manner in which bond
purchasers went after our water
bonds shows that our credit is good.
When five per cent bonds will go at a
premium of over two per cent we
have a financial condition of which
we should he proud.
Many cities a great deal smaller
than ours are in debt to even greater
amount than our water and city bonds
combined, and Oregon City could eas
ily bond itself for another quarter
million without selling at a discount.
If our city property was assessed at
its real value the tax rate would be
very low as compared with other
cities.
The Portland Railway, Light & Pow
er Comany has the thanks of the
travelling public and of our business
men: for their promise to resume the
sprinkling of Main street with their
watering car. While . helping the
merchants, the company helps itself,
killing two birds with one stone.
Oregon City has assurance from
nine railroads that proper considera
tion will be given the proposition to
make us a terminal with rates the
equal of Portland, Seattle and Ta
coma. With these rates we can ex
pect commercial and industrial growth
and witn it an increase in population
It would appear that the Oregon City
Terminal Rate Association will soon
bear fruit.
Live Wirelets
(By Edgar Bates.
Wouldn't it be a great stunt if our
local boys could fly in their "Made in
Oregon City" airship on Bargain day?
But then some one might get scared
to see them soar around the Metho
dist Church steeple.
The annual school exhibition of
We
Fail to
Read
Signs
of the
Times
Financier of
New York
work done by the pupils will well be
worth a trip to the Barclay : school
next Monday. Go over and see what
the manual training class has turned
out and take a look at some of those
dainty aprons, lunch cloths, etc., that
the girls have made.
e
Upon the removal of the dead eels
from the river hinges the advisability
of placing the proposed swimming
pool in the lower river. If conditions
this summer are the same as last year
the lower river will be so filthy and
foul from dead eels, oil, etc. that the
water would not be fit to swim in. It
is hoped that the move to raise $200
to spend in removing the eels will be
successful.
e
If you think your light bill is too
high, why don't you learn to read the
meter and keep tab for yourself?
Let's take a day off Portland won
a game!
e
Nine months in jail will give Mrs.
PanKhurst plenty of time to "think
again" before she starts on another
window smashing expedition.
Taft has been called upon to "leave
the field" but he says there is anoth
er "quarter" to the game and he isn't
beaten yet.
Those Portland men on the Tilla
mook won't want anyone to even
whisper "cheese" for six months.
A peculiar feature of the Darrow
trial in Los Angeles will be a jury of
thirteen. -
Of course the net result is the same
if a murderer is shot to death or
hanged, so perhaps the Salt Lake
authorities did right in allowing a
condemned man the former method of
paying the penalty.
Nearly 200 state automobile licen
ses were issued this week. This
makes more than ten thousand a
year.
Our own Buddy Ryan, upon mak
ing a "homer" at Cleveland lately was
presented auto goggles, box of cigars,
diamond stud, $5 vest, $5 worth of
barber work and a bottle of cham
pagne. No wonder every lot in town
has its bunch of boys, playing the na
tional game.
Even Russia is getting busy. 251
millions for new battleships isn't half
bad, but where does she get the mon
ey? The Bear now makes the run from
San Francisco in just forty-eigth
hours The S. P. will no doubt an
nounce a reduction in the running
time of the Shasta Limited.
Talk about your ideal climates
leave it to old Oregon. . Wasn't that

THE KEGILDED GOLD BRICK.
He wanted to get rich quick.
A page advertisement of the Sure
Thing Mining and Milling company,
limited, of Allureville, Nev.. caught his
eye.
The writer -of that ad. was a word
artist. The announcement was all
draped in gorgeous rhetoric, the tons
of ore Just in sight, each ton assaying
steenth per cent of gold, dividends
they could scarcely be less than 50 per
cent all merely waitiug the placement
of machinery for development
The price of the certificates was "only
10 cents per share."
Why, said the ad. artist, did not ev
ery one know the history of the Home
stake and Anaconda and Calumet and
Hecla how at one time the precious
stock sold for a song?
Surely. And. said the promoters
"If you are not satisfied come to our
office, X. Y. Z., in the Too Good Loan
and Trust eompany building."
"Our office" was luxurious.
The man did not inquire of himself
how these people could spend so much
money in advance. And the doctored
reports of the assayers. estimated out
put, cost of production, balloon divi
dends, aeroplane prospects all these
he swallowed.
He did not know the "experts" nor
the personnel of the directory board.
He asked for no abstract of title to the
"claims."
You see, rich men look closely into
their Investments. That is why they
are rich. But the man who can least
afford it shuts his eyes end takes the
risk.
In the category of the mine sharks
and sharps our man is a "sucker" one
of. whom is said to be born every min
ute. He did not go to his banker for ad
vice. He sneaked in atthe side en
trance and drew out his money as if
he feared the banker, might persuade
him out of the grand ctrance of his life
quickly to grow rich.
' He did not consult a lawyer.
He did not ask his wife.
The glowing page of an advertise
ment, big type and little type so chary
of real facts and so rosy of promise
had allured him.
And so bis little savings made one
of the streamlets that went to make
the golden flood that poured Into the
head office of the promoters. :
.The man is type.
There are others. ,
Funeral Cortege of General
Frederick Dent Grant, U. S. A.
Photos by American Press Association
HE funeral of Major General Frederick Dent Grant, TJ. S. A., late com
mander of the department of the east, was one of the most impressive
seen Id New York in many years. It was attended by the president of
the United States and high officers of the army and the national guard.
and many thousands of spectators bared their heads as the procession passed
up Broadway and Fifth a'venue on its way from Governors island to West
Point The coffin, wrapped in the flag, was carried on a caisson, and behind it
paced the dead soldier's favorite borse. Pet, in flowing black trappings. In the
stirrups, reversed lu accordance with military usage, were the general's boots
Besides the reKUlar troops and militia organizations, the O. S. Grant post of
the Grand Army of the Republic took part in the procession, the veterans hav

THE AMERICAN HEN IN
(OREGON CITY PUBLICITY)
"Poets may sing of the glory of the
eagle and artists may paint the beaut
ies of birds of plumage, but the mod
est American hen is entitled to a trib
ute for her industry, her usefullness
and her productivity.
The American hen can produce
wealth equal to the capital stock p!
all the banks of the New York Clearing
House in three months and have a
week to spare. In less than sixty
days she can equal the total produc
tion of all the gold mines in the Unit
ed States. The United States proud
ly boasts of its enormous production
of pig iron, by far the greatest of any
country in the world, and yet the
American hen produces as much in
six months as all the iron mines in
the country produce in a year. In
one year and ten months she could
pay off the interest-bearing debt of
the United States."
(Congress Dawson, of Iowa, in the
House.)
Eggs and poultry produced on
American farms in 1909 reached a val
ue of $625,000,000. Half of this val
ue was in eggs.
Poultry products exceed the valua
of wheat by a hundred million dollars.
Missouri produced $47,000,000
worth of poultry last season Oregon
but $3,0000,000.
A conservative estimate a car load
(400 cases) of eggs is shipped into
Portland six -days each week during
the year from the east
From 75 to 100 coops (2 dozen fowls
in each coop) of eastern poultry ar
rives in Portland daily.
Frozen poultry shipped Into Port
land yearly from the east at a cost of
$2,500,000. went into the pockets of
the eastern poultry men instead of
Oregon pockets.
Just think of this and Clackamas
Country right here next to Portland
and still poultry and eggs must be
shipped several thousand miles to sup
ply ' the demand. What is the" mat
ter? Is this not a poultry country?
Yes, it is, and a good one. . There is
no place that will excel Clackamas
County. The trouble is that there
are' not enough people to raise the
poultry Our cities are growing so
fast that the rural people cannot feed
them, and still only one acre in ten
is being utilized. What do you think?
It appears like the best kind ofan
opportunity for some industrious peo
ple to engage in the poultry industry
MrZ" " Sl

MUCH FIRMER TONE
The increasing demand for canned
salmon is likely to enable packers to
hold prices very stiff during the com
ing season. Packers along the Co
lumbia river have already received
more advance orders than they ex
pect to pack and every day adds to
the volume of business which is offer
ed, but cannot be accepted.
To some extent the same situation
is showing for the better grades of
canned salmon in other sections. Pu
get sound advices are to the effect
that prices there will likely open very
firm this year. Some are forecasting
a further advance but the trade gen
erally is not inclined to ask more
just now.
Alaskan packers say that business
is extremely good so far as reds are
concerned and they anticipate no dif
ficulty in maintaining at least the
prices that rule during the 1911 sea
sons. While some uneasiness has been
shown at times for pinks owing to
the record pack last season, the indi
cations seem to point to a better mar
ket this year because the pack is not
likely to be so heavy. While there
are many new canneries ready to op
erate in the pink districts of Alaska
this season, packers generally are of
the opinion that the run will be lim
ited and that the new concerns will
only cut into the output of the old
established concerns, instead of forc
ing a greater output. '

R. DIH IS
BURNED TO DEATH
(Continued from page 1)
in 1903 and his mother died two years
ago. The couple came to Clackamas
County in 1847.
A strange coincidence in connection
with the fire is that the house was
ablaze two weeks ago, but Mr. Dim
ick and the men employed on the
ranch extinguished the blaze. They
had been more careful since then,
and the only explanation of the origin
of the second blaze is that the chim
ney was defective.
Mr. Dimick was a Knight of Pythias
and that order will have charge of the
funeral.
The body was burned beyond rec
ognition. The dwelling was old and
burned rapidly and it is believed that
Mr. Dimick was overcome by the heat
while attempting to remove papers,
deeds and documents belonging to
clients whom he still served though
retired from active practice.
