Punishments In Early Days.
The following extracts from early
records give us a glimpse of some of
the singular punishments in vogue in
old New England:
"In 1639 Dorothy Brown, for beating
her husband, is ordered to be bound
and chained to a post."
"In 1G43 the assistants order three
Stoneharn men to sit in the stocks on
lecture day for traveling on the Sab
bath." "In 1651 Anna, wife of George Ellis,
was sentenced to be publicly whipped
for reproaching the magistrates."
"In 1658, for slandering the elders,
she had a cleft stick put on her tongue
for half an hour."
A Hearty Laugh.
Never lose an opportunity for relax:!
tion from the stress and strain of youi
business or profession. Every draft of
laughter, like a:i air cushion, eases yon
over the jolts and the hard places on
life's highway. Laughter is always
healthy. It tends to bring every ab
normal condition back to the normal.
It is a panacea for heartaches, foi
life's bruises It is a life prolQnger.
People who laugh heartily keep them
selves in physical and mental harmony
and are likely to live longer than those
who take life too seriously.
Agreed With Her.
After an all night session with the
boys a husband wended his way home,
arriving there at about 5 a. m. He
found his wife waiting for him in the
dining room, the confusion of furniture
indicating that she had been having an
unhappy time.
"This is a nice time for you to be
coming home!" snapped the wife.
"Yes," admitted the erring husband:
"it's a lovely morning."
"I haven't slept a wink this blessed
night!" with a severe look.
"Neither have L" said the husband.
WHEAT AND HOP
MARKETS QUIET
Neither exporters nor millers are
doing much in the wheat market. The
tendency of the European wheat mar
kets is weak.
The hop market is dull, growers
realizing that it would not be wise to
force their hops on the market now,
and are holding back.
The demand for Oregon eggs is
slow at the high prices quoted. The
warm weather and the presence of
eastern eggs at a loweri price is re
sponsible. The Oregon eggs are bring
ing a retail price of 40 cents a dozen,
while the eastern eggs are bringing
35 cents a dozen.
The price of butter remains about
the same as last week.

LIVE WIRES URGE FAST
WORK ON MAIN STREET
At a luncheon of the Live Wires

condition of Main Street, between
Moss and the Abernethy which is to
hardsurfaced. A committe, of which
G. B. Dimick is chairman, was ap
pointed to urge the contractors to
finish the work as soon as possible.
Judge T. F. Ryan, formerly a resi
dent of this city, delivered an inter
esting address. Judge Ryan approv
ed the work of the Live Wires and
commended the organization for its
loyalty to the county and state and
the good work it is accomplishing.
B. T. McBain, president of the Com
mercial Club, spoke of his trip through
the East. He declared that he found
no more, prosperous section in the
country than Oregon City and Clack
amas County. He declared that this
was the best mill town. in the United
States.
E. E. Bradie, secretary of the com
mittee appointed to combat county
division, reported that $990 had been
spent and that more than 60,000 circu
lars and cards had been distributed

ported that Frank B. Riley would meet

TURKS ARE CUT OEE
FROM WATER SUPPLY
LONDON, Nov. 5. The water sup
ply of Constantinople was cut off to
day by a large Bulgarian force which
occupied Darkas at the end of . the
line of Tchatalja, from which point
the aqueduct supplying the Turkish
capital starts according to a news
agency dispatch from Sofiia.
The great powers of Europe are
aliigning themselves on either side of
a very sharp line regarding the future
of the Balkan states. Public opinion
in England, France and Russia is that
the allies, should have the territory
which they have conquered, and Rus
sia, particularly, has warned Turkey
that conditions could only become
worse should further disaster occur
at Tchatalja.
On the other side are Austra-Hun-gary,
Germany and Italy. Austria-Hungary,
which after an is the most di
rectly interested, being thej nearest
neighbor to tlie Balkan States, will
not, it is believed, sit quietly by and
see the Balkan League establish itself
across her path to the Aegean Sea,
in which, direction her trade is ex
panding, while at the same time the
Servians spread to the Adratic Kea.
The Austrian government points out
that the Albanians are as much a na
tion as any of the allies, and that Al
bania should be served for the Alban
ians. The first sign of dissension among
the Balkan allies themselves comes
in a dispatch from Belgrade, in which
it is said the Servians are beginning
to declare that the "autonomous Al
bania" which was agreed upon before
the,, war started, has now faded away.
In a dispatch the Mussulman Alban
ians who fought against the Servian
troops are blamed for the change in
the Servian attitude.
Instead of the 20-mile stretch of the
Adriatic coast hitherto claimed by Ser
via, the same distpatch says that Ser
via now wants 60 miles, and that in
return Montenegro is to get more
than her allotment of the district 'of
Novipazar.
The correspondent adds significant
ly: "Tht Emperor of Russia will be
taken as an arbitrator between Sar
via and Bulgaria in regard to these
contests, which were not foreseen in
the original agreement between the
allis."
In the meantime the Bulgarian
troops in the vicinity of Tchorlu are
preparing to resume their advance
on Tchatalja. After four nights and
four days of continuous fighting
around Lule Burgas, the Bulgarian
soldiers were given two days' rest.
This period exp red today and the
troops by this time probably are again
on the move.
The Bulgarian army near Tchorlu
is being reinforced with troops taken
from the investing forces around Ad
rianople, whose places in turn have
been taken by Servians.
A second Bulgarian army command
ed by General Kutintcheff, is march
ing along the coast of the sea of Mar
mora to effect a junction with the Bul
garian army commanded by General
Dimitrieff at Tchatalja.
To get on the move quickly, the Bul
garian troops have worked hard, as
they have thousands of wounded
Turks and Bulgarians to take care of
and have had to burn or bury a large
number of killed.
It is stated officially in a dispatch
from Belgrade, that the Servians, hav
ing annihilated the Turkish army in
Macedonia, have been ordered to as
sist the Bulgarians, Greeks and Mon
tenegrins. A Hint Desirable.
"You're all run down," said the doc
tor. "What you need are quiet and
rest. You ought not to be worried."
"Will you put that in the form of a
prescription, doctor, and give it to my
wife?" asked the man. Exchange.

By EDWIN A.NYE.
THE FATHER OF A FLOWER.
Of all the flowers of earth what Is
choicer than the American Beauty
rose?
But
Do you know the man who created
that beautiful thing is a lonely, disap
pointed, hopeless old man who has
scarcely where to lay his head?
Specific details are lacking, but it is
known that because of lack of money
to promote the culture of the Beauty
and to exploit It others stepped in and
reaped the fruits. Tens of thousands
were made, of which the original grow
er got none.
Today the bent and shabby father of
the flower walks the streets of Wash
ington seeking an occasional job from
some prosperous florist who knows his
history or goes hungry.
Meantime his rose riots in every con
servatory over the earth.
He is a gentle old man of refined
tastes, quiet ways and sensitive nature.
And it is characteristic of him that he
should refuse to touch or care for an
American Beauty.
The gorgeous bloom is not for him.
Though he dreamed it into being, it
serves only to remind him of a life's
disappointment and the ingratitude of
mankind. It is to him as if the thing
created had turned away from its crea
tor. And so
While his flower flourishes every
where in the gardens, adorns the bos
oms of countless happy brides, cheers
the bedside or lifts its blushing face in
the midst of luxury and love and
laughter. Its shabby old maker goes
about desolate and forgotten.
It is the way of life.
True it is, but shameful!
Shameful it has always been that
genius should have to climb other
men's stairs for its meager dole: shame
ful that "Paradise Lost" should go for
a few pounds and that Edgar Allan
Poe in his penury should get but $10
for "The Raven."
True, and shameful, that the creator,
the discoverer, the inventor, the maker
of worth or beauty should be cheated
of the pay for labors.
We live and enjoy because of some
body's suffering and sacrifice.
We owe infinitely more than we can
ever repay.
We remain forgetfully in the use and
relish of a thousand things which have
cost lis nothing.
And who of us. when he is dead,
shall have given to the world a heritage
of perpetual beauty such as this poor
old gardener of Washington?
One of the Sights of Kiel.
Kiel possesses a sight which no vis
itor should miss. On the lawn outside
the yacht club stands a statue of Al
fred Krupp frock coated, bareheaded,
his hair most accurately brushed and
parted and holding a top hat and walk
ing stick in bis right hand. In the
opinion of many critics this is the most
grotesque public monument in Europe.

COUNTY'S BOOKS
ARE WELL KEPT I
REPORTS OF CARELESSNESS ON
PART OF OFFICIALS IS
DENIED
ACCOUNTANT MAKES SUGGESTIONS
County Court Turns Down Bill Which
Was Presented Second Time
Cprrjent Sacks Returned
for Rebate
William Whitfield & Co., account
ants and auditors, of Portland, after
anj examination of the books of the
county officers of Clackamas County,
have suggested that more modern
methods should be employed. The re
port states that the sheriff's office has
collected fees that have not been en
tered i nthe fee book or turned over
to the county. County Judge Beatie
admits this to be true, but only in case
of mileage for deputy sheriffs. In
cases where the mileage amounts to
more than that allowed by law the
lawyers in the case make up the de
ficit which is turned over to the dep
uty sheriff. The money goes to him
directly instead of being paid out by
the sheriff. Judge Beatie says the
system has always been in vogue
here, and has been a means of saving
the county money. There is no inten
tion of changing it it is reported.
It is denied that it is impossible to
obtain the financial condition of the
county, as stated in the report. Re
garding the building of roads, Judge
Beatie, who is a member of the coun
ty court, denies the charge that there
is no record relative to the disposal
of road material. The report suggests
that the practice of making road war
rants payable to "bearer" be discon
tinued. Judge. Beattie declares that
the road supervisors keep a record of
all tools despite a statement in the
report to the contrary.
In regard to the report that the
books are in an unsatisfactory condi
tion Judge Beatie denies that one bill
against the county amounting to $250
is shown on the records as having
been paid twice. When the bill was
presented the second time the county
court refusd to pay it. The court
admits a charge that bridges are
erected without bids having been ask
ed for, but the work is done under the
supervision of the court and bids are
not unnecessary. A charge that 3,312
empty cement sacks have no't been re
turned to the Portland CementCom
pany for rebate, Judge Beatie emphat
ically denies. He declares he had the
sacks returned himself.
