LOCATION OF ELEVATOR There
GIVEN CONSIDERATION has been
a great
deal of discussion about the type and
location of the elevator that is to be
erected at the bluff. The people at
the December election voted to have
one erected without any stipulation
as to the special design or any spec
ific location. These matters were
left to the council to decide and it
is expected that it will expend the
$12,500, the amount appropriated, to
the best of its ability, witjj of course
the desires of the people always in
mind.
Microbes Breed Where
Air Is Stagnant
ONE of the most important findingsof modern science is that
the diseases of middle life Are the effects of infections in, an
earlier stage of .life. What we generally term a "little,
measly, ordinary cold," caught in childhood, often LEAVES
GRAVE MARKS upon the heart or blood vessels or kidneys a nil
later in life results in weakness of the heart or in Bright's disease.
. The ordi nary diseases of childhood, as measles, whooping cough
s or others, are apt to leave a permanent stamp ion our health and con
tribute to the deficiency of a whole generation. 'We must therefore
ELIMINATE THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES BY THEIR
ROOTS.
AIR IN MOTION IS THE ONLY AIR THAT'S FIT TO BREATHE.
THERE IS AN ANTIQUATED SUPERSTITION THAT A DRAFT PRO
DUCES A COLD. THAT BELIEF IS RIDICULOUS. DRAFT IS NOT
ONLY NOT DANGEROUS, BUT IT IS MOST" ESSENTIAL TO OUR
WELL BEING. IN CHURCHES THERE IS ALWAYS THAT STUFFY
ATMOSPHERE, BREEDING MILLIONS OF MICROBES.- VENTILATION
IS THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE OF GOOD HEALTH.
A most encouraging feature of the modern age is that most of the
factories are perfectly sanitary and lofty. If the working people
could turn the places where they labor into their dwellings they would
be better off. But they ought to have BOTH A SANITARY
PLACE TO WORK IN AND A SANITARY HOME. Ev
ery house should be 'Tailed" at the age of fifty unless it is proved to
be absolutely sanitary. The philanthropy of today is the good busi
ness of tomorrow.

Both houses are substantially

paying part down and the bal

Price is very reasonable. See
DILLMAN & HOWLAND
As to the types of elevators that
have been considered there are three:
he comnjon straight up and dowr
lift, i the inclined railway, and the
escalator. The first of these types
which is used in most all large build
ings, is too well known to need ex
planation. The inclined railway is
of the same general type as is used
in Los Angeles and is known as
"angel flights." It consists merely of
a railroad so constructed that the
seats are always level. The cars are
pulled up and let down by means of
cables. The escalator is in use in
some of the lager department stores
of the east. In its general plan it
is simply an endless chain of steps
which are constantly in motion. As
one steps on the steps at the lower
floor he is carried up to the next
floor above where he steps off and the
chain of steps keeps on revolving in
the same manner as does a chain.
As far as is known an escalator has
never been tried where it is exposed
to the weather. The matter of the
costs and practicability of these
types must be figured and submitted
by the engineer who has been employ
ed by the council for that purpose.
- As far as the location of the ele
vator is concerned, that is more in
the hands of the people and council.
Of the many possible locations, two
seem to stand out above the others,

Sixth and Seventh Streets. If the
elevator were located at Seventh
Street it would be necessary to eith
er buy or condemn considerable pri
vate property which would, of course
entail considerable expense upon the
city. As Mrs. Chase owns the prop
erty to within three feet of the
Southern Pacific ..tracks at this point
it would not only be necessary for the
city to buy a landing at the top of
the hill, but the space that the eleva
tor itself would occupy would have
to be bought. Lower Seventh Street
ends at the Southern Pacific Railroad
tracks and for the city to get a sub
way beneath the ' tracks, the city
would not only be forced to build tt
subway, but it would be forced to
support the tracks themselves. Again
the contour of the bluff at that point
is such that a space for the elevator
shaft (providing an elevator is built)
would have to be blasted from the
bluff.
At Sixth Street this difficulty would
be overcome as the bluff does not ex
tend as far west, and only earth and
loose material would have to be re
moved. As the city owns the street
across the Southern Pacific tracks
at this place, the city would have a
perfect right to put in a subway and
to force the Southern Pacific to sup
port its tracks. Again no property
would have to be bought or condemn
ed at this place as the city has streets
both at the crossing of the tracks
and on top and below the hill. An
elevator at this place would servs the
interests of Seventh Street about as
well as it would if it were located at
Sixth Street, for the reason that
the top of the shaft would only be a
short distance, probably not more
than 100 feet further south than it
would be if it were erected at Sev
enth Street. At the bottom of che
hill, the block bounded by Sixth and
Seventh Streets is so shaped that on
the east it is not over 125 feet from
the two streets. The block itself
tapers toward the east. Thus at the
bottom of the hill an approach could
be made from both streets.
Another fact that should be taken
into consideration is that at Seventh
Street on the hill there is now a
roadway, an inclined walk, and a
flight of steps, while at Sixth Street
there is no means to get down- the
hill.
FORUM OP THE PEOPLE
CHOSS HITS COUNCIL.
OREGON CITY, Feb. 5. (Editor of
the Enterprise.) Perhaps it is due
the citizens of -Oregon City and my
self that a brief explanation be made
as to why I have not removed the
great slide of mud which has run in
to Monroe Street from the breaking
down of the perpendicular embank
ment left on my block 145 after the
improvement of the street.
It is true that I opposed the im
provement of the street from 9th to
14th Street and if the Council had lis
tened to a word of advice the city
would have saved manv thousands of
j dollars of expense and many property
owners would not have suffered the
practical loss of their property.
This opposition on my part, howev
er, is no good sound excuse for not
complying with the provisions of any
city ordinance requiring slides to be
removed or retaining walls to be
made. The simple tacts are as fol
lows: The contract for the excava
tion on Monroe Street between my
two blocks was let to the Oregon.
Engineering & Construction Company
on tue 19th day of October, 1911. The
contract called for the complete ex
cavation in 40 consecutive working
days alter October 23, 1911.. If this
contract had been faithfully complied
with or had been completed in six
months, I would have had ample time
to make a retaining wall and slope
the baniis before the winter rains of
1912. The deepest cut at this point
was fourteen and one half feet and
the soil is a yellow sticky adotfe filled
with water seams, making it expen
sive to handle at any time, and near
ly impossible to handle in the rainy
season. All this the council knew
for I told them so myself before tne
contract was let. The city allowed
the contractor to dally along with the
excavation for a year and the iia
provement is not finished yet and the
'street is still in the hands of the con
tractor. Knowing the necessity for protect
ing the wall of dirt left standing per
pendicular by the contractors, I forced
men and teams onto the job before
the excavation of the street was fin
ished, and at the expense of some
$600,, put up aretaining wall on both
12th and Monroe Streets, that under
all ordinanry circumstances ought to
have withstood the pressure. Now
the result of the big rain which im
mediately followed and before the
wall had time to harden, was to loos
en the great wall of adobe and in
its fall it broke the cement wall on
Instinct Is Ever Uppermost In Scoop
Roald Amundsen, Now and Then;
Let a Man Smile When He Can
Photo of Amundsen smiling. 1913.
OF course a man has a right to smile when be discovers the south pol.
So you can't blame our good friend, Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian
.- explorer, who nailed his flag to the bottom of the world, for smiling
Tvajl-over his face" when. he. landed In America to tell as all about it
and Incidentally collect some of our good American dollars as his reward.
Above you see Amundsen and his smile; also you observe him when he bad
other things to do besides looking pleasant as the camera shutters clicked.
In that other picture he is rigged out tn bis antarctic costume just as be ap
peared when he risked life and limb to do in the south what Peary did In the
north Amundsen will spend six months lecturing In the Dnlted States and
Canada and then return to Europe. He will sail on the Fram In 1914 to drift
for perhaps four or five years with the arctic Ice.
Monroe Street in a hundred pieces,
while the dirt and yellow mud ran
over half way across the street. The
level surface of the block is broken
in for 30 feet back.-' At the best it
will cost $500 to renew the cement
wall and put the block in shape.
Now the whole controversy is that
the Council wants me to do this at
once during the winter months,
when it is impossible to do the work.
If I should remove the top of the big
slide back to the block line, hundreds
of tons more muck and dirt would
follow from the block, now intact and
I would be further ' injured and no
good would result. No man is dis
commoded in the least by waiting un
til good weather. The sidewalk on
the opposite side of the street and the
street itself is open to travel. In ad
dition to all this I am seriously con
sidering whether, as a business prop
osition, I can- afford to pay the cost
'of the improvements on the four
sides of this block. On 12th Sereet
the cut at the deepest place was 16
eet, on Monroe 14 1-2 feet, on John
Quincy Adams about 8 feet and on'
13th Street now being advertised, the
cut will be 7 feet. The assessments
will likely appoximate $4,000 against
the whole .block. The walls . and
slopes will cost $1,500 anyway, or
more, and the buildings are needing
substantial repairs. Usually street
improvements benefit property to the
extent of the cost, but I have had
dozens of people condole with me
over the ruin of this property by the
deep cuts made all around it.
I offered the whole ' block includ
ing the buildings which cost $3,500
for $4,000 before the improvements
were made. It looks like a case for
the undertaker.

CHURCH YOUNG FOLK
ORGANIZE SOCIETY
The young, people held a banquet
which was followed by an important
business session in which the society
was changed from a Christian En
deavor Society to a Baptist Young
People's Union of C. E. at the Bap
tist church, thus lining it up with
the other denominational societies In
this part of the state. The present
omcers were retained. Leo Burdon
was elected' Second Vice President
and Miss- Anna Conklin, third Vice
President. Miss Effie Dillman was
chosen as assistant corresponding
Secretary.
Under the new plan the work of
the society will be done by depart
ments, each under a vice president,
and not by committees. Each de
partment is divided into sections,
each of which will be under a leader,
who will study a Consecration topic
the first Sunday of the month; Devo
tional, the second Sunday; Doctrinal,
the thira Sunday; Missionary, the
fourth and Temperence, the fifth.
The new union is planning great
things forthe next few moths. There
was not a dissenting voice to the
change in the affiliation of the society.
A Curious Church.
The most siugular church in the
world is probably St. John's, at Days
Platz. in Switzerland. Davos Platz is
over 5.000 ftt above sea level and Is
famous as u winter resort for con
sumptives ou account of its great pu
rity of air and protection from high
winds. St. John's church Is a very
small building, but nevertheless it has
two steeples. One of these is much
larger than the other, towering high
above the church and presenting a
most singular appearance, being twist
ed after the manner of a corkscrew.
The steeples contain some fine chimes,
which in ancient times were used to
sound the iilnrm when there was a
threatened invasion of wild animals.
