NOTORIOUS FILIPINO
OUTLAW IS KILLED
Y,
MANILA. Dec. 18. The career of
Arcani, the notorious outlaw chief in
the Philippines and murderer of at
least seven persons, was brought to
an end today when he was killed in
a personal encounter with Lieutenant
F.!H. Johnson, of the Philippine Con
stabulary. Two other outlaws belong
ing to the same band also were kill
ed', The constabulary, assisted by a de
tachment of Moro volunteers under
command of Civil Commander George
A. Helfert, of Zamboanga, came into
contact with the outlaw gang on a
small island near Basilan and a sharp
engagement followed in which the
band was scattered and three men
killed.
CORPORATIONS SAY
BONDS ARE INFLATED
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Dec. 18.
Public utility corporations' represen
tatives appearing before the Califor
nia Board of Equalization argued that
the stock and bond valuations of the
various concerns they represented
were inflated and should not "be con
sidered by the board in assessing for
taxes. Stock especially -was declared
to represent a greater value in the
market than the property owned
would warrant. The market value.it
was asserted, was higher because of
the ' expectancy with which property
it represented would increase in val
ue. ,
i The Board of Equalization is com
puting a new valuation on corporation
property in an effort to increase the
state's revenue and force corporations
to pay a rate as high as that of the
private property owner.
Ainong the corporations represented
were: Pacific Gas & Electric Com
pany; Northern Electric Railway
Company; Western Pacific Railway;
Southern Pacific Railroad; Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Company, and
the Spreckels companies, of San
Diego.

ARC LIGHT SERVICE
In order to supply the increased
demand for electric arc light service
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company has added to its equipment
in the power house on the west side.
Last summer the city council placed
an order for arc lights for the streets
of Oregon City, which have been in
stalled. For the past two months a
force of men has been busy installing
a large transformer and a double mer
cury arc rectifier. The company is
in a position to handle the increased
business.
MONEY NOT GREATEST
GOAL, SAYS PASTOR
Rev. C. W. Robinson, rector of St.
Paul's Episcopal Church, delivered an
interesting address to the high school
pupils Wednesday morning. Mr. Rob
inson spoke at the request of Superin
tendent of Schools Tooze, and declar
ed that too many men had as an ob
ject in life the acquirement of money.
He said there was something far
greater as ai incentive to activity
than mammon. Mr. Robinson made
one of the best addresses that has
been delivered in nthe series arrang
ed by Mr. Tooze for the high" school.
T. J. Gary, superintendent of the
county schools, addressed the pupils
of the high school ,last Wednesday.
Mr. Gary said the Oregon City high
schf Jl reflected much credit upon the
people of the city and that it was one
of the best high schools in the state.
He declared that the residents of the
pity should be proud of the school.
CINEMATOGRAPH IN SURGERY.
To chronicle anything concerning
the great and helpful powers of the
cinematograph is no longer astonish
ing. Some time ago there was in ses
ion in New York City . the Clinical
Congress of Surgeons of North Amer
ica. Their discussions on the ability
and powers of modern surgery were
indeed wonderful. Perhaps the most
important member of the Congress
was Dr. Alexis Carrel, this year's win
ner of the Nobel Prize for Surgery.
; In the interest of surgery and for
the benefit of the many surgeons as
sembled, many important and unusual
operations were performed. The one
demanding the most attention was
that by Dr. Carrol in the most unusual
and extraordinary operation known as
coupling blood vessels.
As it was found impossible to ad
mit but a small fraction of the doc
tors present to witness the operation,
the cinematograph was requisitioned
and pictures taken of this most won
derful surgical work. Afterward, in
moving pictures, the whole details
were reproduced upon the screen be
fore the assembled congress. - Further
tho.n this, by aid of these films, this
same operation can now, and forth
with, be shown in all hospitals and
medical colleges where this most ad
vanced surgery may ' be - instantly
learned. The great benefit to the
medical profession ; throughout the
world is only a part of the good ac
quired by these pictures. .
Suffering humanity, is immediately
helped, the work of this great surgeon
become at once beneficial to the en
tire world, crowding the advantages
of years within the power of day b. It
seems impossible to "conceive any
thing more wondeitful than this aux
iliary to science which the 'moving
picture has again proven itself to be,
taking any occasion, even of the most
minnute and complex, magnifying it
and making it - immediately known
and helpful to the whole world.

The first thing that will strike most people in reading of the R-C-H
wall be the price. And this is natural. For a completely equipped' car
of this type has never been offered at anything approaching this figure.
Judged on price alone the R-C-H touring Car, Roadster or Coupe stands
in a class of its own. But it's not on price it rs on what you get for the ; ,
price, that we want you to judge the car. , . ' ,
What Makes the 'R-C-H Possible '
Briefly, the most thorough systematization of factory and cost prob
lems that the automobile industry has ever seen. Little leaks, small wastes,
lack of co-operation between different departments these have been feat
ures of motor-car manufacture. Such leakage, wastage and lack of sys;
tern lost only a few dollars here and a few dollars there, but they made' in
the aggregate a wonderful difference in the price you paid for your car.
We made up our minds that with manufacturing, factory and pur
chasing problems simplified, a high-grade car could be produced at a price
that would be revolutionary in the industry. And the R-C-H, turned out
in the R-C-H plants, has proved our contention.
1
Go through the R-C-H plants from end to .end and you'll see all the
mechanism of the vast business working with absolute; precision for per
fection, but you won't find a dollar wasted money, or an hour of wasted
effort. T ...... . t . . :1 ,,tJ
How the R-C-H is Made
We could "not build better for a ar at any price.
Chrome nickel steel is used throughout all shafts and gears in the
transmission and rear axle, and high carbon manganese steel in all parts
requiring special stiffness. 244 drop forgings are used a larger number
than in any other car in the world -irrespective" of price. "
"The R-C-H crank-shaft is aslarge as that in many 40-horse power
cars. The radiator has one-third more cooling space than in other cars of
this type.' ' ' : ' ' - " ' . ; : -
The long-stroke motor (3 1-4 5) develops exceptional power and speed.
The springs full elliptic rear and seini- elliptic front insure easy riding.
' You owe it to yourself td investigate the R-C-H thoroughly, and if we
can get you to "do that we're satisfied. For if the R-C-H will" not sell it
self to you on your own' investigation and judgment we don't want you to
buy it. Compare it, detail for detail, with any car you have in mind at
$1500 or even higher.
We know this is one of the most practical cars sold, in Clackamas County and it is especially adapted to the hard wear a car wiU uhdergo on our hills.
We have this car in stock and will give a demonstration at any time. , .
Our garage is equipped to handle all kinds of repair work on short notice. All R-C-H parts are always kept on. hand, meaning extra quick service. .

Little Journeys to the Homes of
Oregon Industries
Written for the MorningEnterprise
by Col. E. Hofer, editor of The Ore
gon Manufacturer. I
The Manufacturers , A&aociation of
Oregon has employed a womau siate
organizer, who is going over the
state to organize women's hoaia in
dustrial leagues to increase the de
mand for Oregon made products. It
is estimated that the women buy 95
per cent of the supplies that go into
the homes, and their co-operation
will be very available in this cam
paign for the development of borne in
dustries. As next Monday is wash
day, it might be interesting to con
sider what' can be done to promote
the manufacture of soap and wash
ing compounds by such an organiza
tion. At a low estimate there are
200,000 homes in the state where
these articles are used for cleansing
purposes. Estimating that eaqh Home
employs only 50 pounds in a year of
these articles it would mean that 200,-
000 50-poud cases would be called for i
from our manufacturers. There are i
in Portland three large soap factor
ios, and one factory manufacturing
what is known as the five-minute
washing compound. Their total pro
duct probably does not aggregate 100,
000 cases. If it could be generally
introduced, this branch of manufac
tare would be increased 100 per csnt.
The effect of extending this industry
is best illustrated by the story jf a
little occurance that actually happen
ed last summer. A housewife went
to the grocery store in this city and
asked for an extension of credit. The
family were owing quite a bill and
she wanted the privilege of paying
$5 a month on the old bill, and wanted
an extension of credit for more facv
ily supplies.. She explained to the
grocer that her husband was employ
ed in the soap factory which was tem
porarily shut down. 1 Her son was
employed in a box factory and was al
so out of work. The grocer consented

to carry the account. The house
wife proceeded to order supplies, and
first called for a brand of soap made
in Philadelphia. The grocer expres
sed no surprise and furnished it. The
point to the story is quickly seen.
The housewife and the grocer were
both uneducated to the importance
of supporting the home industries.
It is the '200,000 housewives in Ore
gon, each calling for 25 cents worth
of soap manufactured in some East
ern city,- that' is enriching men like
millionaire Fels, who was able to
spend $35,000 on ' a political experi
ment in Oregon, the money for which
is furnished by the Oregon house
wives. More business for the manu
facturers ot soap and washing compounds-,
means more business for the
box establishments . supplying the
labels, more business for the sawmills
and , logging camps. When' we con
sider that lumbering is probably the
greatest industry in Oregon, and re
alize that all industries are more or
less dependent upon each other, the
Importance of the campaign of edu
cation must become apparent to the
dullest mind. There is more in the
manufacturers' campaign for the home
industries than in any other campaign
that is being carried on in our state,
not even excepting the work of the
churches. ; In a recent address Elbert
Hubbard made the statement that the
man who gives an opportunity for a
better livelihood to another is the
real missionary. It is estimated that
the people of Oregon are sending to
the Ea3t $20,000,000 annually for ar
ticles which are now manufactured
in the state. The ., support of the
home industries is not a boycott
against the products of any neighbor
state, but is the scientific promotion
of the welfare of the entire Pacific
Coast. The greater prosperity of
Oregon people means that they will
be able to visit the wonderful places
of interest in California and Washing
ton, "and by learning to spend their
money at home become more devoted
and more loyal to every ' Western
commonwealth. .
