WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
The Kentucky Klick, an organiza
tion of Multnomah County Democrats,
favors the recall of Republican judges.
It is not explained why the Klick draws
the line here and neglects o go on re
cord as opposing the recall of Demo
cratic judges, but the intimation is
there and is ludicrous. In a set of res
olutions adopted at Portland Wednes
day night the Klick has this choice
bit:
"The Klick favors the recall of Re
publican judges; therefore it congrat
ulates Governor West on his use of
the militia to suppress, vice in Clack
amas County."
We may assume that the Governor
found no vice in Multnomah County,
where a wide open condition has exist
ed for a long while.
We may assume that the Kentucky
Klick believes that vice in Clackamas
County is virtue in Multnomah Coun
ty. Finally it is a safe assumption that
the Klick believes sauce for the goose
is not fit food for the gander.
In Clackamas County we have Re
publican judges and Democratic jud
ges from Justices of the Peace to the
Circuit Bench, but it is not explained
just why they should be subject to the
recall .over and above judges in other
counties, neither is it made clear just
what the relation is between the Re-
Athletics Have Taken Place
of Culture
By the Rev. NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS of Brooklyn
IORD BACON once said, "Tell me what the young men in our
universities are thinking about and I will tell you what
V the institution will be for the next generation." That ia
still true of some of the colleges where plain living and high
thinking and old fashioned culture and solid scholarship- stsll are
cherished.
The sleeping car universities all stand for ATHLETICS AUD
PEKSPIRATION a few of the poorer colleges for Matthew Ar
nold's idea of culture and inspiration. In the old Greek days they
CROWNED THE POET with acanthus leaves, being related to
the intellect.
NOW THE HONOR MEN ARE ATHLETES OF THE FOOTBALL
AND BASEBALL TEAMS. AND THE ONLY PROPER THING FOR
THE PRESIDENT OF THE FACULTY TO DO IS TO TIE A BLUE
RIBBON AROUND THE CALF OF EACH HONOR MAN'S LEG AND A
LINKED SAUSAGE ABOUT HIS WAIST THAT MODERN SCHOLAR
SHIP MAY HAVE ITS TRUE APOTHEOSIS, ITS FULL RECOGNITION
AND APPROPRIATE REWARD.

publican judges and the use by Gover-!
nor West of the state" militia to sup
press vice "in Clackamas County."
The Enterprise is in sympathy with
the Governor's efforts to suppress vice
in all the counties in the state, but
the Klick's resolution looks like a
joke.
THE WILLAMETTE FALLS
Bare as a billiard ball the rocks of
the Willamette Falls show themselves
the great river having during the past
five hot days, fallen to a point where
some of our great industries must
close their doors until the first rains
of winter have come. Still, the wheels
of the great paper producing plants
grind on; the turbines of the electric
plants continue to aid in the generat
ing of electric energy for Portland and
intermediate towns. We have the one
great power of Oregon; the giver of
life to our district; the one stimulant
above all to make Oregon City what
it is today. Before the winter rains
come, or probably at about one and
the same time, Oregon will experience
another general election, when the
people of this great state will have
a chance to aid our natural resources
by voting to make conditions as they
should be; by correcting some of the
existing evils, and against the so-called
U'Ren measures prepared and
put through by W. S. U'Ren.
A vote for Single Tax means a vote
so U'Ren can hold his job, and the
state go to ruin, but a vote against
this ruinous measure will allow U'Ren
to continue to work for his client,but
keep the state on the road to prosper
ity; and at the same time further your
own interests.
. The Willamette Falls, or any other
natural resource cannot do all your
help to keep things moving is need
ed.
OFF THE MAIN LINE
Oregon City is to be taken off the
main line of the Southern Pacific.
The company has matured plans for
the construction of a bridge over the
Willamette River at New Era, six
miles south of Oregon City. Trains
northbound will cross over this bridge
from the East side to the West Side
and then reverse the Willamette River
over the Willsburg cutoff bridge, en
tering Portland as now, via the East
side and over the steel bridge. South
bound trains will reverse this routing.
The explanation of the Southern
Pacific officials is that the change will
give them a grade of about four-tenths
of one per cent, while the present
grade on the East side between Mil
waukie and New Era runs as high as
two and one-half per cent
It may be too late for the Oregon
City Commercial Club to persuade th.8
Southern Pacific to change its plans,
but as the situation now stands, there
will be no main line trains in eithet
direction pass through Oregon City
and the present track will probably be
used as an electric railway, if at all.
Cars of the Canby-Molalla electric
line, now in course of construction, al
so will use the New Era bridge and
will not pass through Oregon City.
West Oregon City will get on the
main line map and Oregon City will
get off. What are we going to do
about it?

ON Trfe;
"THAT THE.
WEST SIDE RAILROADS
Work on the West side electric
road of the Portland, Railway, Light
& Power Company has been commen
ced, connecting the cities of Oswego
and Oregon City. This line was ex
tended to Bolton some time ago but
further work was stopped by court
proceedings. Since favorable decis
ion was rendered crews have been put
into the fields and before winter it is
expected that the road will be com
pleted into the city of iron fame, soon
to be the greatest cement producing
city in Oregon.
This line with connection at Oswe
go with the Southern Pacific should
bring real estate on the West Side
in great demand, the West Side being
much closer to Portland's business dis
trict than Oregon City proper. Rail
roads build up a district quicker than
any other known investment and Ore
gon City will receive its just dues with
other communities.
Surveyors are still as' thick as bees
on the West Side. There are roads
laid out in all directions; surveys to
burn. With two West Side and one
East Side road what can we expect
other than rapid growth. We are des
tined to be one of the largest as well
as the oldest city of Oregon.
CORRESPONDENCE
STONE.
The people of this place who have
hay to make are busily engaged in
haying, and some have already com
pleted the task, and are now putting
it away for winter's use.
There were many automobiles in
this section last Sunday. The park
was the destination of many of the
automobile parties, and from all indi
cations the roads need either sprink
ling with water or have a good coat
of oil so as to settle the dust that
is made by the automobiles and teams.
The parties owning the stone quar
ry on the north side of the Clacka
mas river have sold it to Mr.' Hag
erman, the price being $3,000. Mr.
Hagerman has a force of men at work
on the south side of the Clackamas
river removing the debris out of the
way, and from indications it would
look like a dam is to be constructed
across the Clackamas river to manu
facture electricity. This is the third
time that this project has been start
ed, and this is the most favorable one
so far. Parties have secured from
Grant Mumpower an option for the
erection of the dam on his place, and
it now looks as though there is some
thing doing.
There have been surveyors on the
south side of the Clackamas river
commencing at Gladstone and cross
ing the river two miles below the Ba
ker's Ferry bridge and continuing up
through the Lower Logan country.
The parties doing this surveying have
secured an option on B. Sorague's 50
acre tract of land, and these parties
were out last week accompanied by a
prominent capitalist from Pennsylvan
ia. A new steel bridge is being erected
across the Cleark Creek at this place
which is greatly appreciated by the
people of this place.
The Home Oil Well and Gas Com
pany has commenced the drilling of a
well, and will go through the hard
stone .The company has secured a
California well driller. Mr. Watson
has been here recently, and exam
ined the oil wells in this part of the
county, and states that it looks very
favorable at the present time.
CENTRAL POINT.
There will be a meeting of the
young people at the Central Point
church, at 8:00 P. M., next Sunday ev
ening, for the purpose of organizing a
Young People's League. The topic for
next Sunday evening is: "The Advan
tages of a Religious Home." Every
one is cordially inviled to come and
take part in the meeting. The recent
ly organized choir for Sunday school
and church promises to give much
pleasure at our future meetings.

HE city of New York keeps a flock of sheep, not for profit, but as an
addition to the decorative features of Central park. It also has a
shepherd with picturesque collies that attend the flock as It grazes on
the park meadows. As Father Knickerbocker Is not regularly In the
sheep business, the shearing of his woolly live stock Is a matter of some em
barrassment, since sheep shearing is not a part of the curriculum in the schools
from which the park employees are recruited. For this spring's work the
park department engaged two sturdy Irishmen,- who completed the task of
shearing the seventy sheep in four days. The wool was sold and the proceeds
turned Into the general park fund. The process of removing the fleeces was
watched with great interest by the little group of children who gathered at
the sheepfold attracted by the bleatlngs of the innocent victims of schedule K.
