pictures of salmon fishing at the
falls, noticed elsewhere in these col
umns, is one that is most commenda
ble in all respects but one. "Why stop
with moving pictures of the falls? It
is true that it has also been proposed
to have the work of Oregon City's
big mills reproduced on the films, but
the field should not be narrowed to
activities along the river. - There is
plenty of material for good pictures
hereabouts, pictures that will be in
structive and interesting for the gen
eral public, and pictures that will ac
complish a great deal to advertise
Oregon City. Films such as will he
taken here will find ready sale to the
various "weekly" companies, who are
ever seeking new material for their
"picture newspapers." With these
views there is opened up a new and
world-wide fi-ald of publicity that so

A Democratic investigating committee may be suspected of seek
ing to uncover the rascality of the Republican party, just as a Re
publican investigating committee will obviously seek to discover the
rascalities of the Democratic party. No doubt there are rascals on
both sides of the political conflict, so that ooliticallv investigating
committees under political authority are perhaps the SAFEST '
JJUKJtf. Or SECURING EVIDENCE FOE THE PEOPLE.
A PRIVATE CITIZENS' COMMITTEE ACTING MORE OR LESS
SECRETLY IN ITS SYSTEM OF SECURING INFORMATION IS SOME
WHAT CONTRARY TO THE LEGAL PROCEDURE OF AMERICA.
The position of the law as it is interpreted in the American courts
is very different from that of the European. In Europe the methods
of securing the truth are TKTQUISITIOlSrAL ; in America they are
DISPUTATION AL. I am not assuming to criticise the value of one
system over the other, but over here we have found that the inquisi

far has been taken advantage of by
but few cities, and still fewer lines
of business.
The criticism of the "movies" so
generally expressed is aimed largely
at the paucity of the material they
offer for public entertainment. There
is no excuse for this. People are al
ready tired of the films that show the
honest-hearted bandit giving himself
up to justice at the end of 2,000 feet
of gelatine so that the tenderfoot can
marry the lass of the ranch, just as
they used to do in the old-style melo
drama. The cry on all sides is for
pictures of life and action, of de
velopment and growth, so that those
whose travels never extend beyond
the door of the "nickelodeons" may
have the benefit of animated sights
and peeps . at world centers and
places of news interest Producing
moving picture companies pay well
for such films, in fact they pay well
enough to make it worthwhile for any
up-to-date and boosting community
to purchase a moving picture camera
for its own use.
Los Angeles is now the best adver
tised city in the world because one
of the large film companies stages
most of its dramas in that community
and its environs. There is no rea
son why Oregon City should not en
ter the field. There is opportunity
enough here, not only for the novel
pictures of salmon fishing, and of
the w;ork of the mills; hut the sur
rounding country furnishes scenic at
tractions that outrank those offered
by Los Angeles and many other

places. Views showing the adoption
of heavily timbered land to agricul
tural area, in all its successive
changes, would not only be entertain
ing and instructive, but "would serve
to bring to the attention of millions
the advantages of Clackamas county.
Views of railroad development in
these parts could be taken, and be
even better advertising than those of
the development of farming acreage.
All people like railroad pictures, and
they like particularly the community
where the romance of the men who
cut the trail for the iron horse cen

moving pictures could he utUized as
an asset to Oregon City and Clack

that the start is to be made with the
falls and the salmon. The good work
should be kept up.

A TERRIBLE
SUSPENSE
By EDWARD L. B1SSELL
How persons whose daily work car
ries with it the safety of the. lives of
other persons ever became accustomed
to it 1 don't kuow. I have been one
of them, and I couldn't do it, though 1
confess I had an experience that took
away all my confidence. Those I re
fer to are engineers' pilots and the
like. 1 was a druggist. I was obliged
to put up prescriptions all day and of
ten at night Most of theni were harm
less, but iu some were ingredients cal
culated if given in large enough doses
to kilt We had a system about the
poisons, but I defy any system ever
invented to work every time. Sooner
or later something will go wrong
with it
1 was putting up a poison one day
for vermin killing purposes. I had an
engagement t meet my wife at a rail
way station at a certain hour to go to
the country with our little boy, who
was ill and wbo we feared was slowly
dying. It is such situations as this
that will break through systems and
cause accidents. 1 had just so many
minutes to reach my train and put up
two prescriptions, the one a poison,
the other harmless. My mind was pre
occupied. . If I should not reach the
station in time my wife with our sick
child would be in great distress. I
was thinking of her while I was doing
my work- and delivering the packages
to the two different persons, who were
waiting for them. This done. 1 seised
my hat and. ran for the station.
I barely reached it in time, and. hav
ing put my family aboard the train,
sat down beside them, mopped my
brow and my mind settled back to
what 1 had been doing before I left
the store. A horrible suspicion came

to me. I doubted if 1 had not given
the poison to the wrong person. An
other suspicion followed on the heels
of the first. Had I not neglected to
paste the label marked "Poison" on
the bottle?
My first impulse was to jump off the
train, though it was moving at a rate
of fifty miles an hour This, of course,
I controlled. I must remain for uo
one knew how long in suspense. 1
had intended to stay a week with my
wife in the country before leaving ber
there, but 1 now resolved to return
the next day. If the blow was to fall
upon me I preferred that it should
fall while 1 was at my post jthau
when away. Besides. I hoped that
work would help to relieve me of the
burden on my mind
Not being willing to give-my wife an
additional trouble, 1 refrained from
confiding to ber my horrible suspicion,
but I told her that we were so busy at
the store that I would be obliged to
go back the next day. This in itself
was a bitter disappointment to ber.
and when the time came for my de
parture my boy was so ill that I lost
much of my worry on account of my
suspected blunder in my worry about
him.
Several days passed, and I heard
nothing indicating that any one had
taken poison, though I studied the
newspapers regularly, seeking for
what 1 feared to find. Then it occur
red to me that the poison might have
been taken, but the one who had swal
lowed it saved. The blunder might
have been reported at the store; but
owing to my distressing situation,
they might for a time withhold the
facts.
A week passed. My boy was much
better, and I returned to the city. On
the way while scouring a newspaper
as usual my eye fell on a heading,
"Fatal Mistake of a Druggist." 1
could read no more. I covered .my
eyes with my bands and groaned.
Thrice I tried to muster up courage to
read my fate, but was unable to do so
and at the end of my journey left the
newspaper in the train. Time enough
to. know all that bad happened when
I go to the store.
When I went to the store there was
no evidence of anything having hap
pened. I didn't dare ask about the
case of poisoning I bad seen in the
newspaper, for the druggist might not
have been located, and there was no
use In giving myself away. But 1
worried all the same.
The two-customers to whom I bad
given the medicine were an old man
and a young woman. The poison was
intended for the man. the ordinary
dose for the young woman. I believed
I had given her the poison. .Her fea
tures were firmly fixed on my mind,
though I had never seen her before,
she being not a regular but a casual
customer. I did not suppose that she
was getting tht medicine for beraalf

Oe morning I heard the store door
close, and. looking up, there was this
woman coming straight for me. My
imagination pictured her with an ac

heart stopped beating I stood waiting
for the blow to fall. She stood before

I had been through.
