COMMERCIAL CLUB That the resi
DOING FINE WORK dents of Ore

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. The -eport of
the treasurer showed there was more
money in the treasury than ever be
fore at the end of the fiscal year de
spite the fact that large sums had

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 . OF PRICES AND

ments. It is doubtful if there is a bus
iness organization in the Northwest
that is accomplishing as much pro
portionably as the Oregon City Com
mercial Club. 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

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."

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.

THESE pictures show just how the white plague is being fought oy tna
National Association For the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
At the top Is shown a roof garden school for gardening In Chicago,
where children who are suspected of being susceptible to the dread
scourge are taught practicle things in the pure air and sunlight, so that when
they grow older they may live in tb open as tillers of the soli, retaining
health and happiness. At the bottom may be Keen tuberculosis patients be

pure water There would be little
chance for " contamination there, he
said.
"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

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.

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
