SOME OBSERVATIONS.
Now that we have the elevator let
us have a good one and one that will ;
be permanent. Inasmuch as many im-'
provements of this nature must favor j
certain sections of the city, why not I
enter into an agreement to have all
.city improvements of whatever kind 1
or nature paid out of the general fund.
It is bound to come to this in time,
and I'm enough of a Socialist to be
willing to commence right now. Many
street improvements, cause the loss of
a poor man's home which is confiscat
ed by the city making the improve
and follow the machines, they being
followed by the stockholders of the
Clackamas Southern.
The stockholders from various
towns will have banners,-the Mount
Ansel delegation leading; Molalla,
Mulino. Beaver Creek, Maple Lane
and Oregon City following in order

made before forming an opinion of
the fairness of the new regulations
and the probable results. The new
law was passed by Congress last sum
mer with certain provisions showing
that it is, at least in part, regarded
as an experiment. Power is conferred j
on the postmaster general to investi
gate it, with the consent of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, to
modify weights and zone distances
that a change is needed.
Within a 300-mile zone the new
rates will be 7 cents postage for the
first pound, 5 cents a pound for each
additional pound, and 57 cents for an
weight allowed. The rates will be less
for smaller zones and more tor larger
For more than 1800 miles the charge
will be 12 cents for the first pound,

I am fully in accord with brothsr
Milliken in. reference to going to the
Clackamas River for our city water.
This Willamette water may do for
sprinking yards and for fire purposes
but it certailny is not fit for domestic
purposes and never was, nor it will nev
er be. If your nose is in good working
order, take a walk along Main Street
past Twelfth Street on a summer's
evening and if you don't detect an
odor coming from the- river that ought
to satisfy anybody that such water
would sicken a dog, to say nothing
about human beings. Now, since we
have given away all our natural re
sources in the way of water power,
why not buy H. E. Cross' power site
on the Clackamas and go to doing
business for ourselves?
Mr. Cross is a patriotic citizen and
will meet Oregon City half way along
lines toward the betterment of the
community. This power site could be
used in many ways; we could get
able to find a market.
While it is quite probable that
some outside business will be offered
here after the turn of the year, the
outlook is far from being a pleas
ing one. When the winter breaks it
will bring forth immense offerings
of supplies by Eastern Oregon and
Idaho, ' where the crops this season
broke all previous records.
This is the first time in many years
that there has been practically no
speculation among potato dealers.
The outlook has. been so poor all
along that even the most speculative
have been unable to gather the nerve
to take hold.
While there were fair shipments
to Arizona some weeks ago, total
holdings at this time are fully a third
greater than the total crop during
any recent season.

J,
FEEL convinced that the children in the grades could ACCOM
PLISH THE SAME EESULTS IF THEY HAD NO LES
SONS TO DO OUTSIDE OF THEIR SCHOOL HOURS.
In the high schools, Of course, this would be more difficult,
but even here the home work should be reduced to a minimum instead
of being increased to the maximum as it is now.
Children are really ALMOST TOO LEARNED NOWADAYS.
Their school is so much with them that thev begin to think in book
terms and to LOOK AT LIFE ONLY THROUGH ROOKS,
That result of overstudy I regard as even more .serious than the loss
of exercise and the sacrifice of playtime which home lessons entail.
IT OUGHT TO BE POSSIBLE TO DO ALL THE ELEMENTARY
WORK ALL THE ARITHMETIC, THE SIMPLE ENGLISH, THE GE
OGRAPHY AND HISTORY WITHIN THE FIVE OR SIX HOURS AT
SCHOOL WITHOUT TIRING THE CHILDREN OUT WITH MORE LES
SONS IN THE AFTERNOON AND AT NIGHT.

KINGFISHER. Okla.. Dec. 9. Fo i
big .golden-headed eagles were
brought here today by farmers who
captured them and killed a fifth in
the Gyp hills northwest of here. The
farmers said a flock of seven of the
birds had their aeries in the hills
and have been carrying off small
stock in such numbers that they or
ganized to exterminate them.
The birds have carried away lambs
and pigs and some of the residents
assert that the eagles, instead of gyp
sies, carried away an infant lrom
the community a few months ago.
One of the captive birds measures
nearly egiht feet from tip to tip of
its outspread wings.

"MEN MUST HANG,"
WEST AGAIN SAYS
SALEM, Or., Dec. 9. Taking ex
ceptions to newspaper reports de
claring that he had not made up his
mind as to whether the five condemn
ed men at the penitentiary will hang
or net, Governor West announced
this morning that he occupied the
same attitude with relation to the sub
ject as he did just after the bill to
abolish capital punishment was de
feated. "These men are slated to nans,"
declared Governor West, "and noth
ing has arisen yet to cause me to
change my mind on the subject. While
petitions have come in asking for
clemency for some of them I have
not even glanced at them, and I can
truthfully assert now, that nothing
has come which has caused me to
deciae to extend clemency to any one
of them. . What may come up I am
not in a position to say, but I know
of nothing Sow to interfere with the
"executions as planned."
It was learned here today tnat at
torneys will , likely secure a
writ of "probable cause, for an appeal
from the Harney County Circuit
Court in the case of John Taylor.
They are confident of securing it,
and if they do, the Supreme Court
will issue a stay of execution and
that will mean that his execution
will not take place on December 13.
