The new Con gress in this country will be shocked by such "wastefullness." The United States is to be run for a time by a minority party, but Illi nois easily keeps ahead in crazy-quilt minority representation. A multitude of refugee Turks are reported to have no food except de cayed fruit. It is safe to remark in this case that the worst is yet to come. It is presumed that at the opening of the Panama Canal the Republican party will not be consigned to the gallery on the charge that it is not progressive. Miracles are still supposed to be possible. Six great powers are ex pected to take charge of Constantino ple and agree on a friendly plan to run the town. It is reported that Mr. Bryan will accept no place under Wilson. If he appoints himself 'teminder of the Platform it will be the busiest post of all. Under the Democratic tariff to be passed shortly the Canaians expect to get greater advantages than were provided in the reciprocity bill, and at the same time .Canada will main tain its own protective duties un changed. Many of the Oregon City homes were elaborately decorated with roses on Thanksgiving day somewhat in contrast to the Eastern blizzard now raging from Canada to the Gulf. Buds cut now and kept in the house will bloom profusely in a few days. VOTE YES ON THE ELEVATOR. On Monday the voters Of this city will be called upon to decide whether Oregon City is to take her place in the ranks of the progressive cities of our state or, by rejecting the prop osition to connect by means of an elevator, the residence and business sections of the city, declare to her sis ter .cities that she is not yet ready to follow their lead in the matter of public improvement. Some have opposed this step of pro gress, in the belief that taxes would be increased, overlooking the fact that the impetus which this will give to the building of homes on the hill will so increase the property valuation as naturally to lower' rather than in crease our taxes. " The manufacturing interests of Ore eon Crtv are steadily increasing and as the demand for laborers increases in proportion, homes must be built for these new families. Shall we force them to go to the West Side or to Gladstone or shall we keep them in Oregon City? We can do it by pro viding an elevator to the hill where many vacant lots, at reasonable prices and on improved streets aait the; home builder. WE INSURE your life and health, - - I fire home against 1 and burglary . plate glass .' . steam boiler automobile , safe We write fidelity bonds casualty bonds contractors bonds Dillman&Howlaftd Weinhard Building How many people there are in Ore gon City who, either from age or in sufficient strength, 'are unable to make the trip to town or to church becatie of the steps, expose as they are, on the face, of the , cliff, to the intense heat of summer and to ice and frost in winter, making" them so slip pery as to be dangerous to life and limb. Prospective investors, making only a day's visit, have no idea of the scen ic beauty of this city by the falls, be lieving it to be confined to a single street along the river, were it possible for them to reach the bluff by any means except the long flights of steps which few of them are courageous enough to undertake, they would be impressed by the beauty of our ma jestic river and of the rugged cliffs, and by the sight of an ideal residence ditrict, comprising many beautiful homes and well-kept lawns, an attrac tive library and last but not least the historic home of Dr. John McLoughlin, for which many inquire and would de light to visit but are deterred by the thought of climbing the steps. And so they depart, carrying with them this impression. How much more fav orable indeed would be the report they make to all Inquirers had they been told, "Take the elevator to the bluff." At the present time if a woman wishes to go from the hill to Main Street with a baby buggy she must either wait at the head of the steps until some obliging man eomes by who will carry the front end of the buggy while she carries the back, or she must go around bySinger Hill. The latter sounds easy enough but any woman who has tried it knows that the grade on Singer Hill is so steep that holding back on a buggy going down is as hard as pushing it up the hill and most women would rather stay at home indefinitely and trust their shopping to others than do that very often. It has been conceded not only by the people of our own town but by others who know that this city af fords one of the most feasible and practical places for an elevator and it is the duty of every city to provide a whereby mothers can reach the shopping district with their children. Can you women not provide a way that will make yourselves and your sisters independent of the passing stranger? Will not you men of Ore gon City relieve the tired mothers of the fatigue of this long hill which ne cessitates a walk of at least six un necessary blocks to and from the shopping center? Let us all, men and women, cast our votes for the measure providing for this elevator; being free to all, it will do more to supply a long felt need of our city than any meaAire that has come before us for many years. Voters of Oregon City, let us lead, not follow! Let us take our place in the front rank of progress not fol low forever in the rear. FORUM OF THE PEOPLE WOMEN URGED TO GO SLOW OREGON CITY, Nov. 30. (Editor of the Enterprise.) The women who consider Equal Suffrage a great prin ciple and-who have devoted time and energy to obtaining this right for Ore gon women, feel "that the facetious attitude taken by many citizens and newspapers toward the candidacy of a woman for mayor is neither just nor kind. In no way do we wish to seem to underestimate the ability of the candidate, and from people who have known her for many years we hear , a very great deal that is good, but some certain people have seen fit to make of the election a joke, and we object to the town, the highest office it has to give, and Woman Suf frage in general being ridiculed. The women who were most active ly engaged in the cause are, generally speaking, perfectly willing for men to continue to hold the offices, mere ly desiring to have an opportunity to say who these men shall be. If the opposing condidate were not a person of integrity, well qualified for the position in every way, we should certainly throw up our hats for the woman candidate, but in this case the man, as well as the woman, is known to be upright and fair, and we feel that while Equal Suffrage is still un tried in this State, it will be better for all conerned -if the women do not take an. active part until a fair trial has beeii given to woman's govern ment by the ballot alone. FRANCIS MOORE. POLITICIANS ARE SCORED. OREGON CITY, Nov. 30, (Editor of the Enterprise.) I have been a read er of your paper for some time and I take great interest in it but I read an article in the issue of November 28 where I saw Mrs. Newton's name for mayor. I am not a crank on suffrage but believe in woman's rights. But I do condemn them that are at the bottom of this plot; lawyers, business men and representatives of corpora tions, who have been our county and state politicians for years, that they would dare as men in- their standings or with the principle of a man, to urge a poor widow woman in a politi cal fight, that they are to cowardly to step in themselves through fear of defeat. Just think gentlemen, of vol mother or your mother, if she was left alone and no husband and no children near to aavise ner, ana sucn. men goc i deal would you think , they are fit men hold of her and advised her in such a to run our business and our govern ment? J have nothing against Mrs. Newton but if she will just cut this out and save it a few days she will see what I now see and she will close her ears to the slippery tongue of the politician. GEORGE HARVEY. SISTERS THANK DONORS. OREGON CITY, Nov. 3, (Editor of the Enterprise. The Sisters of Mer cy desire to thank the many friends of the little tots of St Agnes Baby Home, who contributed to make Thanksgiving day a memorable one by sending a . good supply of turkey, vegetables and sweetmeats of all kinds. Special mention: James Petty five turkeys; The Crown Columbia Pa per Company, two turkeys; M. H. Klooster, four chickens, The Twi light Community Club, groceries and clothing; Allen & Lewis, confectioner ies; Mr. Cummins, vegetables; Mrs. Thodore Clarke, fruit; the Misses Pratt, confectioneries; Mrs. J. Sin I nott, cookies and candies and quite often during the year the latter sends useful parcels to the little tots. THE SISTERS OF MERCY. HACKETT GIVES FIGURES. Oregon City, Nov. 30. Editor of the Enterprise.) Mr. Harvey,, in your is sue of Nov. 27th wants to know if I known that Oregon City is as old as Chicago." Well, what of it? There are others, too, that are as old but that does not prove they will ever be anything like Chicago neither do I believe Oregon City ever will be. I don't know this Mr. Harvey, but I am of the opinion that the old lady to whom he refers has as much interest in the town and would do as much for it as he would. Because I have in sisted that the town is in debt and that we ought to clean up a little be fore going in deeper, some would like to have the people believe I m knock ing the town. Don't be deceived. I believe I have the interests of Oregon City a much at heart as this Mr. Har vey at any rate nearly allmy inter ests are here and were I to Injure the town in any way I'd be injuring myself to that extent. But, Mr. Editor, all this talk is neither here nor there, let facts be submitted to a candid peo ple. -On July 1st, 1912, the financial condition of Oregon City was about as follows: Warrants outstanding Gen. Fund ..' $ 61,868.68 Warrants outstanding Road Fund 12,197.16 Warrants outstanding Cemetery Fund '. 3,269.94 Warrants outstanding Washington Street 25,470.79 Warrants outstanding Eleventh St. Improvement 10,212.54 Warrants outstanding Madison St. Improvement 1,397.78 Warrants outstanding 6th St Improvement 1st Ex. 608.87 Warrants outstanding .

Adams Culvert 1,189.85 Warrants - outstanding Warrants outstanding 14th St. Improvement 2,477.80 9th St. 2nd Ex 9,405.79 Warrants outstanding Sewer Dist. No. 6 373.77 Warrants outstanding 12th St. Improvement... 1,155.95 Warrants outstanding Taylor St. Improvement.. 3.649.40 Warrants outstanding Alley Block 5 22.20 Total $164,432.90 By liens on city lots $ 12,392.52 By Cash on hand July 1st, 1912 5,486.54 By Cash in Bancroft Funds 391.66 By Balance Oustanding 146,162.18 Total . , $164,432.90 Now the above is a very conserva tive estimate for the warrants are drawing interest and enough had accru ed to make the above $150,000. Put this with the $50,000 bonds issued by the city and $50,000 and more by the Water Commission and where are we? Now when the above report was rendered I was of the opinion that it would not be the part of wisdom to publish it for the reason that it might have a tendency to injure the credit of the city and so advised some mem bers of the council. But if we are to go ahead as if nothing were wrong, then I'm of the opinion that tax payers should know the facts and I consider it my duty to give them if nobody else will. . . Now as to going still further in debt I can not do better than to quote a few words from one of the most able writers of this country: "At the risk of being set down as a silly croaking old fogy I must raise my voice against the extravagance of the "age. Brethren it is not the high cost of living so much as the cost of high living, that is hurrying us fev erishly on to certain disaster. And the contagion is no confined altogeth er to the cities and the foolish fashion able circles; it permeates-the towns and villages, and even threatens the farm the last refuge and stronghold of the common sense of the country." Now, Mr. Tax Payer, if under these condition you think it wise to create any further debts, it' up to you. We are getting to be a nation of spend thrifts, but I had hoped for better things from Oregon City. If Mr. Harvey quotes friend Harris or myself again I -hope he will do so correctly and not try to lead the peo ple to believe we are saying things we are not saying. E. C. HACKETT.

Joe Jeannetts Say It's Best Exercise For Keeping One In Shape. Joe Jean nette, the colored heavy weight, is always in shape for a con test. That's whiit every boxing fan will tell you. and the reason is that Jean net te is a member of The Olympic bas ketball team of New Jersey, one of the strongest teams in the country, and holds dowu the position of center. He is regarded as one of the greatest cen ters in the country. "This basketball playing is good training for a pugi list. says Joe, "and the surprising thing of it is that other fighters don't take it up as a means of getting into condition. It develops the wind, every muscle of the body, aud there is nothing better for what I would call 'quickness of the eye.' Believe me, when a pugilist enters the ring with his muscles, wind and eye in good con dition lie can usk for nothing more." OLD GUARD IS PASSING. Evers to Manage New Batch of Chi cago Players. With the passing of Chance and Tinker. Johnny Evers takes charge of a strange horde wearing the old Cub label, the most interesting machine that ever fought for a pennant.
