COMMERCIAL CLUB That the resi DOING FINE WORK dents of Ore gon City and Clackamas County are at last realiz ing what a fine work the Oregon Citv Commercial Club is doing is indicat ed by the reports of officers made at the meeting of the board of govern ors Monday evening.

T IS CLEAR TO ME THAT i IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WORLDWIDE ADVANCE IN PRICES JUST AS HIGH PRICES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIGH WAGES, HIGH INTEREST, LOW PROFITS, DISCONTENT, ETC. GOLD IS CHEAP BECAUSE IT IS MORE PLENTIFUL THAN EVER BEFORE. ITS SUPPLY IS INCREASING FASTER THAN ARE THE SUPPLIES OF .OTHER PRODUCTS BECAUSE ITS COST OF PRODUCTION IS RELATIVELY CHEAPER THAT IS, THE PROFITS OF PRODUCING GOLD ARE TODAY GREATER THAN ARE THE PROFITS OF PRO DUCING MOST OTHER COMMODITIES. It is the cost of producing a commodity that in the end deter mines its exchange value with other commodities. Gold is no excep tion. The annual output of gold is now nearly $500,000,000, or more than four times what it was in 1890. More gold will be produced this year than was produced in the forty years from 1800 to 1840. The world's stock of monetary gold now exceeds $8,000,000,000 against $5,025,500,000 in 1901 and $3,901,900,000 in 1892. Thus within twenty years the world's OUTPUT OF GOLD IIAS QUADRUPLED, while the stored up supply has more than doubled. Of course there has been no similar increase in the supply of other commodities the things that exchange for gold. That is the reason why GOLD IS CHEAPER AND OTHER THINGS DEAWEK. There is no mystery about it. The fact that the gold output is likely to increase, the cost of living to rise and our troubles to multiply for some years to come threatens still further discontent. The business and commercial world is entitled to the quickest pos pible relief from the present disturbed conditions. If there ever has been a need for rent statesmanship since the Declaration of Inde pendence was siiriie.l it is now. INFLATION .

Work done by this or ganization virtually obtained free locks at the Falls of the Willamette and appropriations by the state and government of almost $1,000,000 for the improvement of the locks. The club has been one of the biggest fac tors in the county in building up good road sentiment, and has aided materially in the building of the Clackamas Southern Railroad. It is doing all in its power to have that section of the Pacific Highway in Clackamas County improved and it was largely through its efforts that the Capital Highway commission de cided upon a route through Ore gon City. Through its promotion department the club has induced hun dreds of persons to locate in this county, and in every way possible it has advertised (the advantages and resources of the county. The club under the administration of B T. McBain. whose term of office as pres- ! ident will expire January 18, was par i ticularly successful and there is ev j ery reason to believe that the next j fiscal year will result in the accom i plishment of even better results.

SCHOOL SYSTEM IS "Better dis AGAIN ENDORSED cipline, better and more reg ular attendance, more thorough work and better conditions in general have resulted from the school supervisor system in Polk County" is a part of a report made by H. H. Parsons, rural school supervisor, to T. W. Brunk, re cently elected a member of the Les islature This is but one of the num erous testimonials to the efficiency or the new system, which at first was opposed by a large number of per sons because it was feared that the additional cost of maintaining the schools would work a hardship upon the taxpayers. The report continues "Teachers report to me at the end of each month the amount of work they have covered, with requests for whatever help they may need. "I average a visit to each school once in six weeks during its term, and upon my return mail a report of the conditions found to each direct or, the teacher and the County School Superintendent. "I find that my visits are looked forward to in most cases, and act as an inspiration for good work on the part of the pupils, and teacher. A great many times I find quantities ol work being saved for my inspection and approval. Even the parents, it I do tot happen to show up at the time they expect me, come to the Superintendent's office and ask why I have not been out." ERIE TOSHSEVK Carrie Jacobs Bond, whose beauti ful sougs, so full of feeling, have won for her an enviable place in the hearts of the people, will appear this evening at the Masonic Temple, Port land, under the . auspices of the Grade Teachers' Association and her friends and admirers in Portland and Oregon City are looking forward to this opportunity of hearing the gifted woman wh0 has been frequent ly referred to as the "Riley of the Song World." She interprets her compositions, putting a world of feeling and expres sion into them. She is a womanly woman with a wonderful personality, with a wealth of soul and a great love for humanity that makes itself felt and finds expression in her mus ic and in the words of the songs that she has- written. Carrie Jacobs Bond does not pre tend to sing she just interprets BV CANBY COUNCIL The new city council of Canby had its first meeting Monday evening when H. C. Gilmore was elected Had acted as president of the ouucil, Mayor Deadman being absent. The following members were present. H. C. Gilmore, president; W. l. B'jar, J. A. Graham, G. W. White, L Wang, H. W. Hewitv., J. L.. Southerlin ind E. C. Shull, chief of police; 0. U Combs and J. Lieses, policemen; W. H. Evans, superintendent of streets; C. F Romig, recorder. On account of the absence of Mayor Deadman, no committee appointments were made. The council ordered the buildina; of fifteen blocks of side walk, a large part of which will be of concrete. An ordinance passed its first reading providing lor the abandonment of the old hill road between Canby and Bar low and the building of a new road through the Canby gravel pit. Per mission has been obtained from the Southern Pacific . Railway Company to allow the new road to pass thiough its property, as well as to obtain grav el from the pit where the road pass' es through i;. If this road is built it will form a valuable link to the Pacific Highway as well as eliminat ing the bad grades and curves be tween Canby and Barlow. The new road will run direct from the east ap proach of the Molalla bridge ir.to Canby.

"I am not strong for the extension of the intake pipe, nor for the Inaug uration of the hydrocloride system for purifying water," declared the doc tor. "I have been abused for what I said about our water supply, but I wanted the people of Oregon City to understand that the water was filthy when the fever epidemic started. It is the duty of a practicing physician to tell the people when they are drink ing poison. It is certainly not a cred it to the city to have a lot of typhoid cases, and it is a shame and a dis-! grace to ask Dr. Norris to do what he has to do at a salary of $10 a month. Give him a few dollars more and he will be able to take care of the sit uation and that's the first thing that ought to be done. Dr. Norris has worked hard and faithfully and he has earned his salary over and over again. There is no filter made today that will take" colon bacilli out of water." W. S. U'Ren presented a motion that the Live Wires thank Dr. Mount for talking to them in "plain English" and the motion was carried. B. T. McBain declared , that his ex perience had taught him that pure water cannot be obtained from a river that carries so much sewage as does the Willamette. He declared that water cannot be purified with a filter. Dr. Tj. L. Pickens believed the prop erty owners would favor the expendi ture of money for a pure water sup ply and M. J. Lee, of Canby, said good water from a well could be obtain ed within four miles of Oregon City. T. J. Gary explained the cause of a typhoid epidemic at Willamette sev eral years ago, declaring that the present water is pure. He suggested that temporary arrangements might be made to get water from Willam ette Springs. Mr.. Lee called atten tion to the water supply of Vancouv er, Wash., which, he said, is obtain1 ed from wells, the quantity being 250 gallons per minute. J. E. Hedges, secretary of the board of water commissioners, agreed that much that had been said relative to the city water and water conditions generally is true, and he made it plain that che members of the water board are just as anxious to remedy condi tions as any other citizen of Oregon City. He was glad to get expressions of the people as to what had best be done, and was not ready to spend money to improve the present plant if the system is to be abandoned. Mr, Hedges read extracts to show the sat isfactory results obtained from filtra tion plants in Minneapolis and Bang or, Mo Mr. Hedges talked with im pressive sincerity and voiced the warning that Oregon City should go ahead carefully and look to the fu ture in obtaining a water supply. F. A. Olmsted, chemist of the Wil lamette Pulp & Paper Company, strongly recommended the installa 8, 1913, tion of hydroclorides and said the water should be analyzed daily, so long as. a filtration system is in use. Jesse Tlazell, of the Northwestern Association; A: C. Howland, of Dill man & Howland; Leo S. Burdon, of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Co., and Attorney C. H. Dye were elected to membership in the Live Wires. L Dwight D. Bain and Mary E. Ham ilton were married at the home" of the bridegroom s mother, Mrs. R. E.

A HARMLESS WAY TO DARKEN THE HAIR' A LITTLE SAGE AND SULPHUR MAKES GRAY HAIR VANISH A REMEDY FOR ALL HAIR TROUBLES Who does not know the value of rSage and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark, soft and glossy and in good con dition? As a matter of fact, Sulphur is a natural element of the hair, and a deficiency of it in the hair is held by many scalp specialists to be con nected with loss of color and vitality of the hair. Unquestionably, there is no better remedy for hair and scalp troubles, especially premature gray ness, than Sage and Sulphur, if prop erly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical Company of New York put out an ideal preparation of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur are combined with other valuable remedies for keeping the hair and scalp in clean, healthy con dition. If your hair is losing its color or constantly coming out, or if you are troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy scalp, get a fifty cent bottle of Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur from your druggist, use it according to the sim ple directions, and see what a differ ence a few days' treatment will make in the appearance of your hair. All druggists sell it, under guaran tee that the money will be refunded if . the remedy is not exactly as rep resented.
