NO OUTSIDE MEDDLING.
From two outside sources possibil
ity of trouble for the United States
Some of the London and Berlin news
papers are asking their governments
in. the Mexican incident appears,
to urge immediate intervention by the
United States in that country. Col
quitt of Texas threatens to send
militia across the Rio Grande to the
Mte'xican city of Matamoros to protect
citizens of Texas there from outrage
by Mexicans. In this direction mad
ness lies. It was in the vicinity of
Matamoros that the fighting began
in 1846 which started the Mexican
war, and which sentf Taylor on his
victorious march to Monterey and
Buena Vista in 1846-47, and dispatch
ed Scott later on in that year from
Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico.
Even if immense accessions of ter
ritory were the result from an inva
sion of Mexico by us in 1913 the
American people are opposed to any
repetition of the demonstration of
1846-47. As was the case with the
people who were brought under our
flag at that time, the inhabitants of
the territory which we might gain
now might be vastly benefitted by the
change of government, and the cause
of civilization would be promoted.
But the cost would be greater than
any sensible American would be will
ing to undertake. The little force of
10,000 now in the vicinity of Mexico
would be inadequate for any such
task as would be ahead of us. Inter
vention would mean war with the
whole Mexican people. While Huerta,
the head of the present provisional
government, may not be as able and
versatile a soldier as Santa Anna
was, there is less chaos in Mexico
now than" there was in the war of
two-thirds of a century ago. and the
Mexicans would put up a harder fight
than they did then. It would require
at least 150,000 to make that short
cut between Vera Cruz, Mtexico's
seaport, and the City of Mexico which

Newspaper Reflects the Reader
By Dr. TALCOTT WILLIAMS,
Columbia
HE newspaper is a human
it HAS ITS LIMITATIONS. It has its relations and af
fairs that limit it, just as men have relations and affairs that
limit them. It is part of the great web of social life, and that
is why it is valuable.
Every day of the year every newspaper prints news, opinions and
appeals of which many men related to it in the business world disap
prove. IT IS THE READERS THAT COUNT, AND, AFTER ALL, A NEWS
PAPER IS WHAT ITS READERS MAKE IT. IT IS THE KIND OF
NEWSPAPER IT IS BECAUSE THAT IS THE KIND THE PEOPLE
WHO BUY IT LIKE.
The newspaper account is FAR more accurate than the average
word that passes from mouth to mouth among men. In the main, the
newspaper is far more truthful than the community it represents, ami
s for riehteoiisTuw the newspaper is BETTER THAN THE ' AV
ER AH F OF ITS rOMlU,TNITY. "

Scott traversed between March and
September, 1847. And the loss of
life by us there and in the fighting in
other parts of Mexico, and by disease,
would mount up into the tens of thou
sands. A member of the Missouri Legisla
ture contends that science in road
building is necessary. The idea
seems to be that when dirt roads are
impassable the time can be agreeably
passed in sitting by a fire and swap
ping yarns.
The Turks are getting jealous of
Mexico's absorption of public atten
tion. They are sending accounts of
their battles twice.

APPLE DEMAND
SHOWS UREASE
Trade in the apple market contin
ued very liberal in Portland Friday.
The outward movement of apples is
the heaviest ever known although
the movement has not in any way af
fected the price.
Reports from, the country indicate
that stocks are being cleaned up fast
Supplies in some of the leading dis
tricts consist principally of Ben Da
vis, and these are the hardest to sell
at any price. Some very good Bens
are selling down to 50c a box in the
FroDt Street trade, and the movement
is restricted.
Outside markets are showing no
special improvement in the demand
with the exception- of California,
which is now said to be showing its
heaviest apple movement of the sea
son. It is stated that with the excep
tion of a very limited amount of Cal
ifornia stock, practically all of the
business there is in Oregon offerings.
Business in the auple trade in he
East is holding fairly well at low
prices. Foreign advices are mixed as
to character, but the general impres
sion of the trade abroad is that the
boxed fruit market is rather easy, al
though barreled stock has shown
some recent iprovement.

Greatest Value
Ever Offered
For Few Pennies
By John P. Fallon
The power of a penny is
truly wonderful when one con
siders what it will buy.
It will buy an evening's en
tertainment. It will buy pages
of -cleverly written incidents
happening throughout the world.
It will buy complete stories of
adventure in the daily lives of
men and women. It will buy,
comics and ludicrous features
that "bring happiness to declin
ing years and erase the finger
marks of time from wrinkled
brows."
It will buy the latest news of
theatredom, the successes of
the operatic stage, the baseball
and gridiron feats of skill and
strength, the review of the lat
est books and music.
Do you know of a greater
value for a few pennies than
your daily newspaper?
The pennies you invest in the
ENTERPRISE will pay divi
dends a hundred fold if you
will read its advertisements
closely and constantly every
morning and take advantage of
the money-saving opportunities
they afford.

were among the suffragists who hiked with "General" Rosalie G
Jones from New York to Washington. Being dubbed "Venuses". by the "war

A GUARANTEED GRIPPE REMEDY

right to arrest persons who maintain
ed manure piles within the city limits,
City Recorder Stipp stated that he
believed they could be arrested if
they refused to remove objectionable
matter of any kind. He faaid that
there was an ordinance covering such
cases that could be enforced at the
present time. Mir. Stipp cited several
wealthy residents of Oregon City
whose property, he said, was in a
bad state and said that this was de
plorable, because of the fact that
they are well able to care for their
property in the manner that it should
be cared for instead of allowing it to
be a menace to health. Mr. Stipp
stated that the people should be giv
en a chance to clean- up, but if they
refused then they should be prosecut
ed. Councilman Frederick Metzner
agreed with this and said that in
most cases the people were willing
to clean up, but if they refused to
comply with the law, then they should
be prosecuted. Dr. Van Brakle said
it was his opinion that a dirty "town
was in many instances responsible
for epidemics of diseases.
It was the opinion of the meeting
that all persons who were found to
have dirty premises should be urged
