of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company. It was of no bene
fit to the latter concern, all of the in
terests of the P. R. L. & p. Co. being
suited to diversified agriculture. In
the nature of . things thousands of
farmers will find locations in there,
towns will come as needed, but Ore
gon City pccupies a. commanding posi
tion for sweeping the entire district
with her mercantile guns. The same
might be said of the Tualatin Valley.
A portion of the old Willamette Falls
railway tracks already extend up
that valley. It is more probable that
they will be extended to accommo
date other farming communities than
it is that they will be abandonded.
Then directly west of the big bridge
at Oregon City lies one of the finest
fruit and garden districts in the
state. It has an ideal drainage, the
best of soil and its farmers will be
only "30 minutes from the markets''
in 1914.

JACK JOHNSON IS
BADLY "BROKE"
CHICAGO, Jan. 11. Jack Johnson,
negro prize fighter, admitted today
that he has not a cent. Johnson's
"Cafe de Champion" was recently clos
ed by the police and a judgment of
$5621 secured against him by a brew
ing company. His automobile, a safe
and the saloon fixtures were seized
by the sheriff to satisfy this claim.
When the deputies took charge of
the big touring car, Johnson pleaded
with them to spare the machine.
"That car belongs to Lucile," he
said, referring to his white wife. "She
bought it two weeks before we were
married. Please don't take it away."
Johnson intimated that he might
soon get back into the ring to earn
money. He has been training at a
local club but the manager of the
place requested him to leave because
of the vigorous protests from other
boxers.
LAURELS ARE WON BY
on the east side of the river.
In November, 1912, the Willamette
Falls Railway Company and its nine
miles of track, including the engineer
who has handled the "standard rail
road joke of Oregon City" for 10
years, passed to the control of the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern Railway
Company and after reconstruction the
track will become a portion of the
main line which will reach from Port
land to Eugene, with feeding and con
necting lines reaching into every
nook and corner of the big valley.
That this change of ownership will
mean much to Oregon City is assured.
Its first material benefit will be seen
in a rival of river transportation to a
considerable extent. The paper and
pulp mills at Oregon City use 60,000,-
000 feet of logs annually. Heretofore
these have been carried to St. John,
below Portland, by water. There
they were loaded on the cars of the
Southern Pacific Company and haul
ed to a point a few miles south of
Oregon City, reconsigned to the water
and then floated down to the mills.
Under the arrangement now agreed
upon the logs will be towed up the
Willamette river to a point below the
Oregon City rapids, where they will
be hauled from the water and deliver
ed to the mills by the P. E. & E.
And it would not be improbable
that the dream of a large city on the
west bank of the Willamette will soon
come true, that great steel bridges
will span the. Willamette within the
coming five years and that street car
connections will serve the interests
of the two halves of Oregon City. It
is certain that 100 passenger trains
will pass through or find a terminal
at West Oregon City every day after
the Portland, Eugene & Eastern shall
be in operation by January 1, 1914.
Many of these will carry the people
and products from the Molalla' Valley,
that splendidly rich portion of the
Willamette which breaks away to
the east just nine miles south of Ore
gon City. The Molalla country has
been treated well by nature and poor
ly by capital and industrial captains.
No section of the Willamette Valley
harbors better lands or acreage more
The three-act drama, "Borderland,"
which was given Saturday evening
at the Clairmont school house- was
a big success. The attendance was
large. Frequent applause was the re
ward of the splendid endeavors of
the cast which performed in a way
that would do credit to many a pro
fessional company. Many times the
audience was almost convulsed with
laughter at humorous characters and
situations.
The cast was as follows:
Jacob Ralston, guide and scout
Harry Shelly-
Joe Dempsey, alias Baron Here
ford, alias "Old Ben," Wm.
Edgecomb.
Hon. Patrick McFaddie, a New
York policeman, Rosco Clark

BOWERY KING'S
MIND A BLANK
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. All nation
alities and" creeds in the Bowery
mourned today when it became known
that "Big Tim" Sullivan's mind is
gone and that he is suffering from a
fatal malady. It is feared it will not
be Ion? before the disease completes
its course.
On application of Sullivan's step
brother and step-sister, Superintend
dent Armand signed an order commit-
ing him to Bond's sanitarium in Yon-
kers. Arrangements for his physical
restraint were necessary as a result
of marked hullicinations.
After a commission had been ap
pointed to take charge of his affairs,
it is expected Sullivan will be remov
ed to Amityville, where John McCul-
lough and Maurice Barrymore, fam
ous actors, died several years ago.
Although Sullivan did not once ap-
pear during the campaign he was
elected to congress from the Thir
teenth district last fall. For many
years he represented the Bowery in
the state legislature at Albany.
ELBERT HUBBARD
ADMITS HIS GUILT
BUFFOLO, N. Y., Jan. 11. Elbert
Hubbard of East Aurora, known as
the "Fra Elbertus," pleaded guilty to
day in the United States court to an
indictment charging him with send
ing obsene matter through the mails.
Judge Hazel suspended sentence on
five of the counts in the indictment
and fined Hubbard $100 on the sixth
count which charged that he had
mailed "certain prints of an obscene,
lewd lascivious, filthy and indecent
character."
The indictment was based on ar
ticles published in a magazine issued
at East Aurora. The extreme penalty
for the crime is five years in jail and
a fine of $5000.
HALT ALL TRAFFIC
SEATTLE, Wash. Jan. 11. A
heavy snow storm that began at noon
in the Cascade mountains has almost
put a stop to traffic on the mountain
divisions of the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and Milwaukee railways.
A Northern Pacific passenger train
is being dug out of the snow near
tunnel No. 4, west of Stampede Pass.
The Milwaukee ' has no telegraph
wires and does not know where its
trains are and Great Northern trains
are marked 12 hours late.
Up to 9 o'clock tonight nearly three
feet of snow had fallen today on the
Northern Pacific mountain division,
but the precipitation was becoming
lighter.
If it happened it Is in the Enter
prise.
ARCHBALD'S FATE
LEFT TO SENATE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. The sen-
agreed today to begin at 1 o'clock
Monday the voting upon the articles
of impeachment against Robert W.
Archbald, judge of the United States
commerce court, charged with mis
demeanors and the misuse of his ju
dicial influence.
No debate by members of the sen
ate will be permitted during the vot
ing, but under a resolution offered by
Senator Root and adopted, a senator
will have an opportuity to make a
brief explanation of his vote in wilt
ing, to be printed as part of the sen
ate proceedings in the case.
Arrangements for the final steps in
the case against Judge Archbald were
made in a secret session of the sen
ate. The question of whether a judge
could be impeached for offences that
did not make him subject to indict
ment under the law was raised by
Senator McCumber, of North Dakota,
but was withdrawn without a formal
vote.
The legality of impeachment pro
ceedings, based on acts committed by
Judge Archbald before he became a
member of the commerce court, was
also brought into question by Senator
Clarke, of Arkansas, but was not
threshed out in the senate.

THE BANK OF PROGRESS.
"Nothing draws like compound inter
est," says a banker.
The tables tell us that $1,000 depos
ited in the bank at 6 per cent com
pound Interest will double Itself in
about twelve years.
But
There is a bank that pays at least 10
per cent compound interest and in
some cases more.
It is the bank of progress.
No ank in the world is safer or bet
ter managed. No deposit was ever lost
or failed of credit Interest and prin
cipal are paid promptly.
Deposits may be made at any time
either in a lump sum or in small in
stallments. The depoosits?
They are such valuable things as
thoughts, resolutions, ideas, effort, self
denial, ambition. These constitute
capital. They are taken over the coun
ter at the bank of progress at par.
For Instance:
You have an idea that is worth
while. You deposit that Investment
In bank. It begins to grow. The in
terest is added to the principal, and
both continue to grow. You may draw
out the interest from time to time and
still have on deposit a big Idea.
Or-
Looking about you discover that
many persons fail from lack of con
centration.. You Invest in the bank
efficient singleness of purpose.
Your efficiency Increases by com
pound Interest By painstaking effort
you multiply yourself. Your scope and
capacity grow until in a few years you
have a fortune in yourself.
Or-
You deposit in this bank a resolution.
Say it concerns the use of tobacco. If
you keep your resolution on deposit
you will draw added strength of nerve
and cleanliness of habit In a few
years you will have fortified your reso
lution by compound interest
It pays big!
There are more valuable things than
money; there are better banks than
the First National; there is a higher
rate of interest than that paid semi
annually. The bank Is open.

MELDRUM SEEKS TO
HAVE ENGINEER OUSTED
Henry Meldrum Saturday filed no
tice with City Recorder Stipp that un
less the city council rescinded its
action in appointing George Yale
city engineer, he would apply to the
courts to have Mr. Yale ousted. Mr.
Muldrum calls attention to section 9,
of the city charter which stipulates
that appointees to city offices must
have lived here at least one year be
fore appointment. Mr. Yale is a res
ident of Jennings Lodge and has nev
er lived in Oregon City. He has tak
en the oath of office but has not filed
his bond. One of Mr. Yale's first acts
upon taking the oath of office was to
appoint Major C. S. Noble, former
city engineer, his first assistant.

Putting more ink on the right side
of the ledger that is what your ad
vertising should do to a certain ex
tent That is what advertising is for
to sell more goods at a profit by
helping every;. other selling link in
your selling chain get "more business,
sell more goods, obtain more custom
ers. . -
It is the firm of every business firm
in Oregon City to make a reasonable
profit on the investment. In order
to do this they must sell what they
have at a profit. There is one sales
man who is at the beck and call of
every firm that sells a commodity
and that salesman is Advertising
whose power, force, energy, poten
tiality, . omnipotence, authority,
strength, is the one means that can
cause, originate and create a demand
for your goods and produce a steady
reliable, profitable year arouse the
trade.
Take the big successes in the mer
cantile world today they have a de
mand for their goods at all times.
They advertise. They have built up
a prestige for their goods that can
not be shaken. Yet they used the
one Salesman that is open to you.
There is just as much reason for your
goods being used as for any others.
Let the public know these reasons
in no unmistakable manner.
But as long as you do not us.fi this
salesman in the 'right way people
will not ask for your goods and there
'fore you will not be putting more ink
on the right side of the ledger.
DEMAND FOR BEST
APPLES IMPROVES
For the better grade of apples a
better movement is showing. Offer
ings from the. country are not near
ly .so liberal, and while , the trade
here still has its full r?nuireiiientsfor
' vuu VUW.-VA -
much more hopeful.
Leading associations dealing in ap
ples have already decided that the",
situation warrants a higher price and
for that reason they are asking prices
fractionally above those previously
quoted.
The situation is deriving practical
ly all of its strength at the moment
from the great damage to the orange
crop and the higher prices that are
being asked for the product. Not
only has the damage to the crop been
considerable, but the reports of frost
ed stock will keep the public from
buying oranges as freely as otherwise.
This will be a direct aid to the apple
market situation.
Abroad the situation is expected to
show, an improvement of even great
er extent than at home, therefore for
good quality apples the indications
are much more hopeful. Small sizes
continue weak and are still showing
neglect at very- low prices.
