ADVERTISING OUR CITY.
A stranger on Morrison Bridge,
Portland, a few days since, sav the
steamer "Ruth of Oregon City, Or.,
passing through on its way to Ains
worth dock to dispose of its daily
cargo of paper some 250 tons made
at Oregon City. His question was,
"Where is Oregon City, what is it
noted for?" and a few others. He
was informed of the colse proximity
to Portland and that it is the largest
paper and woolen goods producing
section of the west. After instruc
tions for reaching our city, he stated
he would visit us before leaving Ore
gon. This steamer, one of the "Willam
ette Navigation Company fleet of Ore
gon City makes a round trip each day
and does considerable in the way of
advertising our part of Clackamas
county. Would it not be well for the
Publicity Department to take up
again the matter of electric sign for
our Suspension bridged We think
our business men would consider a
special subscription for the first ex
pense, provided the department kept
up the power cost.
It might also be well to get more
notice in Portland that we are on the
map.
The railways and Portland commer
cial club do much to get people to
Portland. Are we doing our part to
get them away from Portland and in
vestigating our district? These are
things for us all to consider. They are
important.
. Vacation time is near at hand.
Where are you going? If one would
only think for a moment he would see
that 'we have everything here to be
found oLher places. Just get together
with the Publicity committe and keep
something doing at home every
month during the summer.
"Why not a Motor Boat day in July?
RIGHT OF CONTRACT
There are many things for which
we all should be happy and consider
ourselves especially blessed. We have
a free "country politically and from a
religious standpoint our constitution
gives -us many rights that citizens of
other countries do not enjoy. "We are

cannot be found in other lands, and
above all we have the right of con

he pleases. Many months of the year
the days are so long that a man can,
if he will, work longer hours on his
contract with telling effect financially
and otherwise. SucH a right is worth
more to us than we may at first im
agine. Study Tt over and see if we
are not tight.
IMPROVE THE CROSSINGS
The crossings on our new streets
are from two inches to six inches
above the elevation of .the street.
These are dangerous to pedestrians
and a nuisance to automobilists. In
fact the beauties of our city are kept
from the public who travel in auto
mobiles on account of the necessity
for changing gear at almost every
crossing. The city fathers have had
their troubles with engineers and this
fault is no doubt chargeable "to this
department, but 'we-now have a wide
awake young man taking care of such
matters and we trust the new streets
j will be taken care of with cement or
I bitumen crossings on grade and that
i repairs will be found necessary on
all poorly constructed crossings. We
have good streets and they should be
open to advertise our good city.
CLARENCE BRUNER
This young man entertd the employ
, of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Com
: pany fourteen years ago as a common
j helper. Showing some ability and a
i willingness to work he was promoted
i from time to time until some few
! years ago he was made millwright of
i thes ulphite mill. Later he took up
j mechanical drawing and about six
; months ago was promoted to the
draughting department, on May 15
took the position of master mechanics
assistant under Mr. James H. Cary.
Another good evidence of the fact
Uhat a man who will help himself will
be helped by his employer.
We can do more for you in advertising
' work than any other medium provid
' ed it is applied in the right way by
: the right people. The Enterprise has
, on its staff masters in the art. Let us
know your wants, we will do the rest.

EXCELLENT PROGRAM
The women of the Maple Lane Mu
tual Improvement Club Were enter
tained by Mrs. Parker at her home
Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Parker
being assisted in entertaining by Mrs.
Cone and Mrs. Schmidt. An excellent
program was given: recitation, Mrs.-
Schmidt, the title of which was
"How Deacon Adams Admonished His
Son;" recitation, "The Millin Seed,"
(by request") Dorothy Swallow; reci
tation, Glenn Parker; vocal solo, "The
Pilot," Mrs. Sartin; recitation, Mrs.
Craven; reading, "The Art of Letting
Go," Mrs. Sartin:
The rooms were prettily decorated,
the decorations, which were very ar
tistic, being furnished and designed
by Mrs. Cone. The color scheme was
pink, which was carried out even in
the cakes and other refreshments
served. In the center of the table was
a large pink bowl, in the center of
which were slips of paper on which
were written questions or directions,
each being "attached to ribbons ex
tending to each place. .Each guest
was called upon to answer the ques
tions or do what she was directed by
the slip of paper she drew from the
bowl. -This feature furnished a great
deal of merriment for the club.
The Morning Enterprise is the best
breakfast food you can have.

Lunn was elected mayor of Schenectady last falL Mr. Berger, who is the only
Socialist member of congress, said at the meeting: "I intend to go back to con
gress. The labor class wants me there, and 1 like my job. Moreover, for the
first time in my life 1 am getting decent wages, I don't manage to keep any of
It, but 1 get it, and that's something. I promise you to be elected again and to
take a companion back with me. I expect yon to send at least one from New

I expect that the party will poll 2,000,000 votes and that there will be tvvelvu
or fifteen Socialist congressmen." .
