WILSON TO FIGHT
FOR GREATER UNION
- :" ' .' "
PRESIDENT-ELECT DECLARES
THERE CAN BE NO DIVISION
IN COUNTRY
SECTIONAL FEELING AT LAST GONE
Man Elected to Succeed Taft Announ
ces Plans for Future at
Place of His
Birth
STAUNTON," Va., Dec. 28. President-elect
Wilson, by birth a Virgin
ian, but by adoption a son of New
Jersey, proclaimed today the hope
that his administration might mean
the final obliteration of everything
that in the past divided the North and
the South.
. "I suggest an added significance to
tile occasion," said Governor Wilson,
in presenting the greetings of New
Jersey to Virginia, "because it is a
son of the South who brings the greet
ings of the North."
Standing on the porch of Mary
Baldwin Seminary, in the chapel of
which he was baptized, the President
elect spoke to a crowd gathered from
tar ana wide on tne occasion ot nis
. return to his native town on his 56th
birthday anniversary.
While Mr. Wilson spoke with feel
ing of his hopes for a spirit of reun
ion that would recognize "neither re
gion nor section, nor North nor
South," he talked significantly of his
future course in politics, with partic
ular reference to tne conduct of bus
iness. The presidency, the Governor said,
he regarded "as an . office in which a
man must put on his war paint," but
he added that his visage was such
that he "did not mind marring it, for
a man can keep his manners and
still fight."
A great many men who have taken
the narrow view of legislating for
sectional advantage would have to be
mastered, the Governor pointed out,
in order, "that they may be the in
struments of justice and mercy."
, To the business men of the coun
try he held out also the appeal that
serving the Nation meant giving full
value for value received, and remark
ed that in past decades too much of
the fortune making had "consisted of
getting something for nothing." The
Governor said tnat he had no quar
rel with the free exercise of brains
in business, but he objected to brains
that established "an ain-tight isola
tion" or monopoly into which no com
petition could enter.

Says Editorial in
Paper
Commenting editorially upon the
forthcoming Progress and Anniver
sary Edition of the Morning Enter
prise, the December number of "Ore
gon City Publicity," the official pub
lication of the Oregon City Commer
cial Club, takes occasion to hand us
a few boquets upon last year's efforts
and predicts a successful issue for
January, 1913.
Since the Commercial Club, through
its Publicity Committee, was one of
the most liberal supporters of our
Anniversary number last year, and
was apparently so well pleased with
the results accomplished that it vol
untarily renewed its order this year,
the Enterprise ; appreciates such an
expression. The editorial was as fol
lows: "The Oregon City Enterprise is
preparing to publish their annual
'Progress Edition' about January 15,
1913. We wish them success again
this year and feel quite sure that this
book will be another fine piece . of
work as it was last year.
'"We intend to secure enough cop
ies to send one to each of our read
ers. We appreciate the efforts of the

special edition and extend our hearty

CLUB WANTS CHANGE
IN ROAD DISTRICT
The West Side Improvement Ch
at a meeting at Willamette Saturday
voted to adjourn the road meeting
scheduled for 2 P. M. to further con
sider the road improvements. A 10
mill tax at the present time was op
posed. It is proposed by the club to peti
tion the county court for a change
of the boundaries of district 34 to
take in the property of the settle
ments of "Willamette, West Oregon
City and Bolton, .the present jurisdic
tion of the club, after which the dis
trict will see to it that the proper
funds are levied for road purposes
and that the roads, are built where
needed. It is probable that the bill
by F. M. Gill, representative, will be
indorsed. Giving the district control
of its money is favored by many.
The next meeting of the club will
be held at Bolton next Thursday.

With the recent typhoid epidemic
now on the decrease it becomes ap
parent to the people of Oregon City
that some thing should be done to .
improve the city's water supply, if
the city is to keep pace with its thriv
ing neighbors who boast of their su
perior water at the expense of Ore
gon City.
Many merchants and business men
of this city are taking steps to ascer
tain how the city water can be best
improved at the least cost to the pub
lic. Prominent among these is Jesse
Hayell of the Northwestern Associa
tion, who has gone to considerable
effort in figuring out the cost of pip
ing Bull Run water into this city from
Grays Crossing, a distance of nine
miles.
Mr. Hayell, who has seen the prob
lem of pufe water worked out in
many cities of the east, believes that
good water can be furnished Oregon
City in sufficient quantities from the
Bull Run pipe, at a cost that . would
be entirely within the reach of the
people. Mr. Hayell states that by
tapping the Bull Run pipe line with
a 12-inch iron pipe, ,laid three feet be
neath the ground, the water could be
brought into the city at the rate of
250,000 gallons per day which would
much more than supply the present
needs of the city; at t&e cost of $10,
000 per mile or about $100,000 for the
entire distance. Mr. Hayell believes
that 250,000 gallons per day would be
more than ample to supply Oregon
City and bases his figures on the fact
that there are about 1000 house-hold-es
in the city, each consuming about
100 gallons per day, thus a little less
than hailf of the water would be used
at the present time, but in case a 12
inch pipe did not prove sufficient, a
xti-inch pipe could be laid, costing
about $150,000, which would supply
the city for many years to come. Mem
bers of the Portland Water Board
have stated that they would favorably
consider the proposition.
