RAILROADS POPULATION Oregon City is to grow and to grow rapidly according to D. W.

The west side i will be opened as an addition to Ore-1 gon City, streets will be laid out, up ! to date sewer and water system in-' stalled in short a model city planned ' and completed at an early date by the Moody Land Co. Oregon City will be connected with Portland by an up to date electric service on the West Side Be a Thinker asid a lentieman Success Will Be Your Reward By CHARLES F. THWING. President of Western Reserve University ' O become a successful man time BE A GENTLEMAN, using your thinking qualities for the benefit of yourself and for the good of your fellow man. The one great way of making yourself a thinker is to THINK. Thinking is a practical art. Lt cannot be taught. It is learned by doing. Yet there are some subjects in the course which seem to be better fitted than others to teach you this art. CONCENTRATION IN THE THINKER. CLEARNESS, COMPREHEN SIVENESS. COMPLEXEDNESS. CONSECUTIVENESS. CONTINUITY THESE ARE THE SIX BIG C'S WHICH ARE MARKS OF THE SUBJECTS WHICH TEND TO CREATE THE THINKER. Of course you are and of course you will be a gentleman. In the creation of the gentleman as well as of the thinker the PERSON" AL EQUATION COUNTS. In fact, it counts more in the making of the gentleman, for in this making truth is less important than the PERSONALITY. As a gentleman YOU WILL BE A FRIEND AND WILL HAVE FRIENDS. In this relation of friendship in its earlier stages there is no part of life in which it is more important for you to exer cise the virtue and grace of reserve. . CUB m. m. a .Mm. m.

THE PUBLICITY" COMMITTEE The work of this committee on duty all the year round deserves more at tention and patronage at the hands of the farmers and large land owners. Some of the town's best business men are on this, committee. The mills and power companies are represent ed and a lawyer, O. D. Ehy is. chair man. Their work is the best form of publicity for the city and county and those outside of the city who feel able to aid should get on the subscrip tion list for a monthly payment. Some of our best farmers are big hearted and feel they should have a hand in tne good work this is your opportunity. Come forward. LIVE WIRES BARTON-LOGAN The committee of 15 Live Wires took the country run in automobiles Thursday and saw everything to be seen, ieturning a wiser bunch the bridge is needed more than one is needed as many as can be had are needed If we can have the two sides of our county, both sides of the Clack amas united by bridges, we have the different communities united in a man ner that no one can. cut asunder. But how ean we secure the bridges? If the railroads will help the county and come forward with their offers now when the matter is being agitated, the county court may see its way to put this bridge in its 1913 budget The sooner the better. To Cure Scars. Scars are often very ugly things and disagreeable marks when they exist in a prominent place on the skin. Prob ably nothing can remove a big scar the tissue of which has become fibrous and unyielding, but the following rec ipe, to be applied on lint and allowed to remain on the part for a little time daily, will effect an improvement In small scars and blemishes: Borax, one and a half ounces; salicylic acid, twelve grains; glycerin, three drams; rosewa ter, six ounces.

With a rising barometer and In dications that the weather will be fair for the remaining days of the cam paign between the Blues and the Reds the Blues camped near Rochester for two days, advanced to meet' the Reds at 6 o'clock today. The Blues will camp In the vicinity of Gate "today and prepare for the great struggle. From the frequent clashes of the cavalry it begins to look as though there certainly must be a great battle between the two forces soon, probab ly Friday or Saturday. 'Jhe Reds, with their camp at Porter, are recon noitering the country towards the Black River, apparently with the in tention of concentrating their forces at the bridges near Oakville and Ced arville. -Having been declared free. Lieuten ant Walter A. Beat was restored to dut7 today. The eight Blues captur ed were taken to the Reds' line at sun rise and passed through their lines and Instructed to return "to their Blue commander. All the reads, villages, bridges an? points of vantage here ' are closely guarded, and signal corps men are do ing effective work on both sides, rush ing back information gained by out guards and scouting parties at the front. General Maus and General Robert K. Evans, of Washington, D. C, In charge of the division of military af fairs, went to the Red side today to watch operations from that side. From the fact that both sides have taken their rapid-fire guns to the bridges near Oakville, it is taken that each side considers the roads In that section most important and purposes to hold them at all costs. No fighting was done last night, though heavy out posts were out. rree ana equal. Gabe All men are born free and equal.
