COUNCIL WATER The city council
PROBE JUSTIFIED is to be com
mended for
appropriating $500 with which to
make a thorough investigation of the
Oregon City water. The money is to
be used in examining the present sup
ply and in endeavoring to find anoth
er supply, if it is decided the Willam
ette River water cannot be made fit
for drinking. Pure water is a nec
essity, and it must be obtained if pos
sible. That Oregon City folk should
drink the sewage of Salem, Albany
and Canemah is not right. It is cer
tainly a poor advertisement of the
' city. Something should be done at
once to remedy the present condi
tion and the Enterprise believes the
council will act with wisdom.
The suggestion -of T. W. Sullivan
that water from artesian wells be ob
tained, if practicable, is a good one.
There is no question that well water
is purer than river water. Willamette
has an adequate artesian water sup
ply and it would seem that Oregon
City could obtain water from the same
source. At all events pure water
should be had, and the city council
did the best that could be done un
der the circumstances by making the
- appropriation for a thorough investi
gation. If one life is saved or one case of
typhoid fever averted, the money will
not have been spent in vain.
CITY MUST BE That Oregon City

Curiosity the Common Bond
Between Woman and
the Monkey
By Dr. - R. L. NICHOLSON, Anthropologist
CURIOSITY IS THE COMMON BOND BETWEEN WOMAN AND
THE MONKEY.
When one Approaches a cage of monkeys the curious
little simians flock to the bars and examine him from head
to foot witU the most avid curiosity. 'Phis same tliinr is true of wo
men. Thev are CONTINUALLY PRYING INTO THIN (IS
and can supply an ENDLESS STRING OF CHATTER about
everything they see.
I do not say that woman resembles the monkey physically any
more than does man. It ia only a MENTAL SIMILARITY. That
part of the woman's head called the "curious bump" is proportion
ately the same as that of the monkey.
?. t
It will take several THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR WO
'MEN TO LOSE THIS STRIKING RELATION TO SIMIAN
LIFE. Woman, however, has other virtues which make up for this
very bad characteristic. She has made herself firmer in character
than her male consort. This evil of curiosity has been fully overcome
by these redeeming features.
Monkeys talk among themselves just as do women. When they
see something which strikes them they chatter and chirp in their language.

and Police of the City Council, headed
by Councilman Albright and a commit-
tee representing the Live Wires,
headed by Dr. van Brakle intend to
see that it is made one of the clean

fever epidemic has aroused the citi-
zens, and everything possible must be
done for conservation of health. The

that they must clean their places at
once or suffer the penalty which is
a severe one.
The ordinance provides a fine of
not less than $2 nor more than $100
or imprison: snt in the. city jail
of not less' than one day, nor more
than 50 days, or both fine and impris
onment. It also provides that the
chief of police and Committe on
Health and Police shall make an in
vestigation, that it shall cause all
noisome substances to be removed
and to have the costs of same enter
ed up as a lien against the property.
The young woman who says the
girls will not marry men with less
than $10,000 a year overlooks the
fact that some of them, after ' being
married to men of that wealth, have
eloped with fellows who couldn't
raise ten cents.
'A New York miss declares that the
modern young lady requires an in
come of at least $10,000 to maintain
a suitable establishment, and no $5,000
pikers need apply for a , wife. It is
possible this pert miss will know
more when she is older.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
HOW TO MAKE ROADS. -
OREGON CITY, Jan. 27 (Editor
of the Enterprise.) In order to have
good roads: 1. They must be prop-
erly built; 2nd., they must be kept
i -in -good repair. We have been build
ing more roads than have been kept
in good repair. The business traffic
that wears out the roads should be
specially taxed to keep them in good
repair, and this special traffic tax
; should be bourne by the people in
proportion as they wear out the roads
as nearly as possible. For instance,
if "A" uses the public highway 300
days in the year hauling cordwood.
ties, timber, etc., in season and out
of season, grinding and knocking out
the roads that have cost the people
so much money to build, "A's" traffic
business should pay for the upkeep
of the road 100 times more than "B's"
traffic business should pay, who
makes three trips per v.ear over the
same road with a similar road wear

tomobile has opened up another phase
to the public road question,

State. Now -'special tax for "horse
power'' is-1,0 be made on automobiles
as the remedy.
To tax automobiles a certain
amount per horse power without ref
erence to mileage would not be a
just law. Suppose "C's" business
brings him on the public roads 55
miles per day 20075 miles per year,
road damage while farmer "D" has
also an auto-horse-power, but does
not motor off more than an average
of 5 miles per day or 1825 miles for
the year road damage, one-eleventh
the damage to the public roads that
"C" does Bring this comparative
damage to the roads down to one
day's "knock out" to illustrate
Should contractor "C" with 55 real
horses in the flesh, hitched up to his
26 wagons loaded with cordwood, and
on the sanie day farmer "D" with his
similar 551 head of horses on the
rancn, "hoofs up" only five to two
of his wagons loaded with potatoes
for same destination; over the same
road as "Os" teams go. The other
50 horses, farmer "D" does not
bring on the road to add to the wear
and tearing up and mixing of mud,
should not be specially taxed for pub
lic road damage same contractor "C"
ought to pay.
, Then if is plain that the mileage
and the horse power actually applied
to the public roads are what wears
them out and is responsible for the
damage and should be charged up to
the "horsesv. that do the damage to
the roads, rather than an unconstitu
tional "blanket" special tax of a stat
ed ' amount for horsepower on every
automobile, regardless of the amount
of mileage metered off on the high'
wayS- a. mileage toll tax of one
tenth of a mill, per mile, collected on

practibility of collecting such a toll
tax from every auto-driven-roaa-aam
ager, notwithstanding they would all
have us believe that they are always
eager to pay for road improvement (?)
would probably result about as much
to road upkeep as does the present
I state automobile license tax.
j Would suggest that our Legislators
j enact a law giving each county of
! the state authority to tax all motor
! vehicles, traction engines, and real
i horses, actually used on the trunk
i line roads of each county, more than
I an average of five (5) miles per day,
during the year, a special road dam
I age tax of .50 per "horse power" per
j annum same to be collected as the
I general taxes of the counties and

NEWSPAPERS COMMENDED FOR
URGING PURE WATER.
OREGON CITY, Jan. 30. (Editor
oi the Enterprise.) The newspapers
of Oregon City are to be commended
for the stand they are taking in the
fight for pure water, the Live Wires
are also doing excellent work, the
doctors have done all in their power
to stir the people to action but if
the people, with whom the whole
matter lies, do not demand pure wat
er this typhoid epidemic, like anoth
er evils that we have experienced,
will be forgotten until they again
spring up at some, future time.
Do you want a repetition of this
thing? You do not. Then why not, as
a taxpayer, a resident of Oregon City,
and a consumer of this filth, do all
in your individual power to better
the existing conditions? If only half
of our citizens do this, we can and
will have pure water.
The public schools are using boiled
water, the water thatwe use in our
homes must be boiled to kill the
poison which it contains, before us
ing, and even the members of the
water board who , assert that the wat
er is pure, drink boiled water. What
an expensive advertisement for our
beautiful city.
Since we began boiling the bugs
to death we have had very few cases
of typhoid. Then If we had begun
boiling thgrn- sooner we would have
had less typhoid, and if we had been
warned by our highly efficient water

impure before the epidemic, when, he
should have been taking samples of
water for analyses, we would have
begun boiling at once and there
would have been no epidemic, no
deaths and no misery. Why do we
retain this person. If he was the
right kind of a man he would admit
that the water was impure. Will we
retain this person and drink the
present Willamette JUver garbage or
procure a new water supply and an

HIUH SCHOOL-KID.
ALWAYS LATE GiRL
She's the Dropped Stitch In the Social
Fabric
Why is It thut so tew girls cau be
on liineif Is ii that they have uu re.
spect for the clxk u- no real toncep
tiou of the value of time?
The gi'-l who is always late, who tr
rives ten. Uf'teen or perhaps thirty min
utes after the appointed hour, who
keeps people waiting, with a sublime
iiidil'i'ereme to their discomfiture, is a
'uuisaiu-e and a bore. She is the drop
ped stitch in the social fabric. Some
one is always trying to fill up the bole
made by her tardy arrival.
Are .von one of tbe girls who never
cat) be on time? No'doubt you'thiuli
you make up for your tradiness and
the trouble you cause by your apologies
aud your smiles. Perhaps you can
make yourself believe that the abused
ones who have waited forget their
uervousness and impatience and augei
as soon as you do. But they do not.
The hostess who bas shivered and
burned while her dinner reversed the
process does not forget. She has been
in purgatory even if It does look like
her own parlor. She has had to say
pleasant things while she thought the
opposite.
That ghastly expectancy that per
vaded her guests had to be diffused by
ber own calm assumption of perfect
pose and facile gayety. She gets a
nervous headache as she pictures the
wreck of ber menu. Yon spoil the af
fair for ber even If tbe cook manages
to save the dinner. No; no one forgets
you after you have made such indelible
impressions on them.
