GOOD ROADS ARE THE "Be sure
COUNTRY'S BEST ASSET you are
right and
then go ahead'' was one of the many
epigrams reeled off by a famous hun
ter, statesman and hero. Whether the
Clackamas County Automobile Club
at its session Thursday had in mind
the words of the great Tennesseean
we are unable to say, but one thing
is certain the resolution introduced
by Harvey G. Starkweather urging
that the Legislature be asked to
amend the automobile law so as to
provide that the money raised from
the taxing of motor vehicles tie ex
pended upon trunk roads, has much
merit and suggests that the cfcib is
pretty well aware it must- look
after its own interests. The money
raised fiom this source is f 05,000 a
year, and why shouldn't it be expend
ed upon the trunk roads which are
the only ones used by the automobil
ists? They are paying a pretty stiff
price, and probably will be called up
on to pay more for thoroughfares for
their iise, as well as the use of all,
and they should be given value re
ceived. The time is past when peo
ple can decry the automobile. It is
here to stay. It is one of the great
est inventions of the age. Roads
must be built for its accomodation
and since the owners of the machines
are willing and compelled to pay a
large share for making good roads,
isn't it common sense that they should
have a say in how the money shall
be spent? The Enterprise thinks so.
With a plentitude of candidates for
Chief of the Fire Department, there
is proof of the interest taken by the
Oregon City volunteers in this im
portant branch of the municipal gov
ernment. We shall probably not be
forced to shift suddenly to a paid de
partment basis for the same reason
that prevailed in Eugene, where the
Chief declined to get out of bed and
go to a fire at night, because the
weather was too cold.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
DEFENDS FILTER PLANT.
OREGON CITY, Jan. 10 (Editor
of the Enterprise) Of the many
plans considered by the Live Wires
to obtain pure water for Oregon City,
the consensus of opinion is that we
should get water from some other
source than the Willamette River.
Now I am not ready to condemn the
filter plant that has been in operation
for the past 11 years, and admit that
we have been fooled all these years
in the belief that because the water
had gone through the filters it was
absolutely pure and no one dare dis
pute it. Now I am somewhat famih
iar with the construction and opera
tion of filter plants, having construct
ed all four of the plants that the
Jewell Filter Company have install
ed in Oregon and Washington and
have the utmost confidence in the
plant in this city to give satisfactory
results if given a chance.
1 am in hearty sympathy with the
Live Wires in their honest efforts to
get pure water for Oregon City, but
we should not pass by what we have
already until it has been thoroughly
tried it out in all its details and see if
there is not some way to determine
the cause and remedy the defect.
To operate a filter plant success
fully a great deal depends on the
smaller details, such as the amount
of coagulant to use, as the conditions
vary with each season of the year
and the different stages of the water
in the river, and this can only be de
termined by a series of experiments.
We all know that in the fall and early
winter the water in -the river is very
bad, caused by heavy rains washing
all of the accumulations of the past
season from the logging camps, de
caying vegetation of every kind and
nature down into the river. Is it any
wonder the water is bad? Now at
this time is when the typhoid epidemic
comes and it was at this time that it
was on in Eugene and evidently from
the same cause.
I would use enough of the coagu
lant at this season of the year so that
when the water was analyzed it would
show no colon bacilli whatever and
by experimenting along this line, by
adding to "and taking from and hav
ing the water analyzed and noting the
results I could determine the amount
to use under the changing conditions
and have the water analyzed often
enough so that you " would always
know where you were.
This is the only intelligent way to
determine whether our filter plant is
a failure or not. As J. E. Hedges said
there are other filters similar to ours
in successful operation and why not
ours? Let us give it a chance before
we condemn it too strongly and as to
the installation of a hydrocloride pro
cess, I am not in favor of it only as
a last resort for the water has such
a taste you can scarcely drink it and
it smells worse than it tastes.
I will suggest that the Superinten-j
dent open all hydrants, dead ends and
any place where water will stand and
stagnate long enough to allow the
stagnant water to be replaced by fresh
people affect HIGH LIVTTCG.
water and while this was going on use
hydrocloride in the filters. We could
stand it that long. I think all dead
ends should be provided with a gate
or globe valve so they could be blown
out as often as once a month and I
think the settling tanks should be
drained off as often as once a month
for there is certainly some sediment
in those tanks and if there is, it will
get very foul in a few months.
Of course the water is filtered after
it leaves the tanks but let us give the
filters a chance before we condemn
them. They are constructed on scien
tific principles and should be oper
ated along those lines.
I certainly agree with B. T. McBain
and Dr. Mount, tnac there is no filter
made today that will take colon bar
cilli out of water without the use of
chemicals, but I believe with the
proper amount of sulphate of alumna
used as a coagulant that colon bacilli
will be thoroughly eradicated from the
water and that can be determined by
a competent bacteriologist analyzing
the water and making tests from time
to time until the proper amount is
determined.
This is one of the most important
details of operating a filter plant and
should not be guesseu at where the
lives of our family and friends are
at stake. "

LEST WE FORGET.
OREGON CITY, Jan. 10. (Editor
of the Enterprise) The city is not
escaping the present epidemic of ty
phoid fever without loss. Mild as it
is, comparatively, some of its victims
already rest "'beneath the green sods
of the Valley."
So long as we depend upon our
present source of water supply our
people are liable to a return of the
scourge in its most malignant form.
"Eternal vigilance is the price" of
health!
Napoleon is credited with the dic
tum that "Providence is always on the
side of the heaviest batteries.' That
is not so irreverent as it sounds. It
simply meant that man must learn
to be his own "Providence" must
learn to provide for every emergency.
In our case to depend trustfully to
the intervention of providence would
be foolish and criminal. We must
save ourselves.
- An object lesson occured in Pen
sylvania a few years ago. A large
town obtaining its water from an ad
jacent river, was stricken with a fatal
type of typhoid fever which decimat
ed its population. The local physi
cians being soon overwhelmed, sum
moned aid from Philadelphia and the
state authorities. A thorough investi
gation as to the origin of the scourge
made with the most painstaking care
finally re'vealed the fact that many
miles away at the headwaters of the
river among the mountains, a miner
living in a shack had died of a malig
nant type of typhoid fever. The de
jecta had been thrown out upon the
ground, swept into the little rivulet
and thence into the river. That one
case cost the afflicted valley the Uvea
of scores of young men and wmen,
This is no tale! Let Oregon City
take warning!

CHEMICAL PLANT
(Continued from page 1)
that the hydrochloride plant could be
installed at a cost . of $ 1,000 and if
this new system proved unsuccessful,
then some other means of securing
water could be devised. Mr. Sulli
van believes that the cities and var
ious communities in all parts, of the
valley could be compelled to dispose
of their sewage by sewage farms in
stead of allowing it to pass into the
river as it does at present. This
would keep the river pure.
Doctor Norris heartily agreed with
Mr. Sullivan in oelieving that the hy
drochloride plant should be installed
without delay. He declared that the
present water system is undoubtedly
contaminated, but was at a loss to
account for the cause.
Mr. McBain quoted Calvin White,
the state health officer, as saying
that whenever there were typhoid
germs on the upper reaches of a
stream, there were sure to be germs
found cn the lower reaches of the
stream. He further stated that pure
water could only be received from
pure supply, and he did not believe
that chemical filters were successful.
Mr. Howell stated that no water
taken from the filters as yet, had
been proven to contain typhoid germs.
He said that a committee oppointed
several years ago, when the present
filters were installed, had found that
this filter system was the best water
within the reach of Oregon City.

BAPTIST MEN GIVE
ELABORATE SPREAD
The Baptist Brotherhood held their
annual banquet Friday night. The
dinner, especially prepared by the
ladies of the church, was enjoyed by
almost the entire membership of the
organization. Plans were outlined
for the coming year's work, speeches
were nfade by representative mem
"bers, and the election of officers for
the coming year followed the
"spread." John W. Loder presided.
Rev. E. A. Smith reviewed the coun
ty missionary work of the past year.
Dr. Milliken, the Baptist pastor, gave
an excellent address on "Brotherhood
Evangelism." Mr. Fred Olmsted
spoke on the relationship between the
brotherhood and the church, and H.
E. Cross closed the evening's talks
with a well delivered speech on "The
Forward Movement."
Officers elected for 1913 were:
President, John Loder; vice-president
George Ott; secretary, Fred Olmsted;
treasurer, Mr. Carter. After the
election of officers several new mem
bers were enrolled. Music was fur
