OREGON CITY SHOULD From Wash
HAVE PUBLIC BUILDING ington dis
patches we learn that Congress is
making large appropriations for fed
eral buildings in many of the cities
of the Northwest, most of which are
smaller than is Oregon City. Among
the cities included in the list are
Hood River, Or., and Kellispiel, Mont.,
both of which are Smaller than this
city and do not do nearly as great
a post office business as does Oregon
City. A liberal estimate of the pop
ulation of Hood River is 2,500 while
Oregon City has nearly 7,000. Why
should this city allow such towns to
forge ahead of it in such a matter as
the need of a post oflice building?
The government is not partial to
Hood River, nor any of the towns in
the Northwest, and Oregon City could
and would achieve as much as any of
thdm if the people would expend the
same amount of energy as other owns
do. Eugene, Astoria and Albany did
not secure beautiful post offices with
out great effort from the people of
these towns.
The bill to provide a post office
building for this city was brought be
fore the present session of Congress
once, and apparently stood in a fair
way of passing, but for some reason
or other the matter has progressed no
further and with he present session
growing to a close, unless radical
steps are taken, the bill will be lost
and there will be no post office build
in this city for a number of years
longer.
But there is still hope for saving
the bill and of passing it during the
Industrialism Sweeping

most hideous crime of modern society to permit young
mothers to injure themselves and their children by work

INDUSTRIALISM THAT'S
IT'S
ON ITS TIDE, AND IT IS SWEEPING THE RACE TO DESTRUCTION.
OUR BIRTH RATE IS DECREASING. OUR CRIME AND INSANITY

when there was a variety ii tasks that kept the whole body and soul
active, not simply draining one set of muscles of every ounce of

Club, the Live Wires and any other
organizations of public spirited citi
zens would take it upon themselves
to literally flood our Senators and

U. S. MAKES PLEA
FOR MS LIFE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Francis
co I. Madero, deposed president of
Mexico will not be railroaded to jail,
thrown into a madhouse or summar
ly executed by provincial President
Huerta, according to reports today
from Ambassador Wilson. Miiiera,
the ambassador reports, will be giv
en a fair trial and possibly the worst
fate that will await him will be ex
ile. President Taft had instructed Am
bassador Wilson to convey to Huerta,
in diplomatic terms, the intimation
that the United States would serious
ly object to a summary execution or
sentence of Madero.
Solicitude for the personal safely
of Madero was given by Provincial
President Huerta to diplomats today
as the reason hy the ex-president
cannot be removed from the capital
for the present President Huerta
recalled to the visitors the historic
attack upon the train which bore ex
President Diaz to Vera Cruz on his
exile to Europe when Huerta himself
was in command of the escort.
The president added that the inves
tigation of the records of the Madero
administration was being continued
with great care.
It was not felt here that the form
er president should be slaughtered
or put out of the way for crimes
which seemed purely political, with
out a fair arid open trial. This view
was made plain to Huerta and tho fact
was not concealed that the United
States has looked with disfavor upon
the shooting of Gustavo Madero, the
president's brother.
The (administration's attitude to
ward the provisional government of
Mexico was discussed at today's cab
inet meeting. President Taft and
Knox have never believed, it is said,
that Madero was a strong president
for a republic sown with revolution.
They have believed, however, that he
is entitled to a hearing. They have
no particular (intere st, other than that
of humanity, in what is done with
him if it is done in legal fashion.
Costly In Human Lives.
In ancient times the great engineer
ing works were costly In human lives.
The making of the Red sea canal is
said to have involved the loss of no
fewer than 120,000 Egyptians. Buck
le's examination made htm believe
the number to have been somewhat ex
aggerated, but he gives It as still a
guide to the enormous waste of human
life in those days. The men who kept
2,000 slaves engaged for three years
bringing a single stone from Elephan
tine to the pyramids did not care a
great deal so long as in the twenty
years in which one of the pyramids
was building there were forthcoming
the 300.000 men required for the work
Postage Stamp Riots.

Remorse.
"For two years after I was married
I was ashamed to meet the preacher
who united my wife and me in the holy
bonds. You see, in ray excited condi
tion I made a blunder and gave him &

intended to hand him, 1 suppose he
thought 1 was a cheap skate, but. I
couldn't very well explain it without
making myself ridiculous or causing
him to suspect that 1 was lying about
it." .

years?"

BIG WATER PROBE
" (Continued from page 1)
Salt Lake work, was one of the men
suggested. He is at present consult
ing engineer of the state board of
Health. Robert Dieck, who aided
the United States in establishing a
pure water system in the Philippines,
also was mentioned. The committee
is also considering the appointment
of J.H. Cunningham, hydraulic en
gineer in Portland for several years,
and J. W. Morris, formerly city engi
neer of Portland. One of these men
will be appointed at the meeting to
day and the appointee will be urged
to see that Oregon City gets the best
possible water supply.
The meeting was presided over by
Councilman Horton, chairman of the
committee, the other members pres
ent being Councilmen Tooze and
Metzner. Mayor Jones also was in
attendance. Water conditions have
been greatly improved lately and the
men in charge of the plant say the
people may drink the water with
safety. Health Officer Norris, how
ever, refuses to say that the water
should be drunk without it being
boiled, although he admits that he is
drinking it from the faucets.

have signed the report with the ex
ception of Representative Pierce, who
objected to a clause stating that there
was no cause for the investigation.
The report declares that the charges
of Schuebel and Gill were merely mat
ters of opinion and not supported by
expert testimony.
The big general appropriation bill
passed both the House and the Sen
ate today, and went to the Governor
for his signature. This measure car
ries more than $1,200,000. Individ
ual items were fought hard in both
the House and the Senate. ' Dimick
in the Senate tried to have the $7,500
appropriation for the Forest Service
cut out as did Howard in the House,
on the grounds that no benefit was
derived from the money so expended,
and that the timber industry should
support itself. The $24,000 item for
the Naval Militia also came in for
a great deal of scoring, and in both
houses the fight over this institution
was renewed with bitterness.
Representatives Lewelling and
Smith of the Special Investigating
Committee for the penitentiary, to
day presented to the House a minor
ity report charging that the adminis
tration had not used to the best ad
vantage some of the funds at the pen
itentiary and that the trusties were
allowed to enter and leave the insti
tution without being searched. Sena
tors Barrett and Ragsdale refused to
sign the report as did Representative
Laughlin. These three will present
a majority report tomorrow, which
will declare the penitentiary to be
well handled.
A large delegation from Oregon
City arrived tonight ani? when the
county division bill comes up for fi
nal passage at 2 o'clock tomorrow af
ternoon a vigorous protest .will be
made. Roseburg and Eugene will al
so send crowds to protest against the
bill. After a hot debate, led by Dim
ick and Neuner, in the Senate today,
the minority report of Senator Wood
was adopted in place of the majority
report by Dimick and Kiddler and the
bill made a special order of business
for 2 o'clock Saturday. The Wood
report recommended the bill for pas
sage and the majority report was ad
verse. The bill numbered 307" on the
House calendar was introduced in the
House by Parsons of Lane, at the re
quest of citizens of Cottage Grove
who are trying to form Nesmith Coun
ty out of a portion of Lane. It would
practically allow any portion - of a
county to secede and form a new coun
ty by petition, and is offered as an
amendment to the Wood bill of the
1911 session, which was passed over
the veto of the Governor early in the
present session. The fight in the

Senate today at times bordered on
bitterness. Joseph led the faction in
favor of the bill.
"This bill'" declared Dimick, "is
unfair in that it gives the dissenting
party all the voice that is to be had.
It was before the people and defeat
ed. The Legislature has turned it
down repeatedly.''
Neuner of Dauglass, part of whose
county is also trying to secede, at
tacked the measure on the grounds
of unfairness. Although admitting it
will be a hard fight, both Neuner and
Dimick are confident of defeating the
measure tomorrow afternoon.
