GARBAGE CAN LAW
TOO SEVERE; LOSES
The ordinance providing that all
residents of the city must maintain a
metal garbage can for the disposition
of household refuse was voted down
at Wednesday night's council meeting
because a majority of tfie counCilmen
felt that the measure was too drastic,
and was unfair in some of its pro
visions. The proposed law provided
a penalty of $50 fine or imprisonment
in jail for 10 days for any person vio
lating its requirements.
It was argued, when the ordinance
came up for final passage, that some
households were so equipped that
they could burn whatever garbage
they might have, and that for them
to be required to keep and use a gar
bage can was unfair. Other residents
have other means of disposing of
household refuse, So the matter was
voted down, with the understanding
that a modified law aiming at the
same sanitary ends would later be
introduced.
The electric sign ordinance was
passed to second reading, and an
ordinance providing for the oiling of
city streets so that the dust might be
lairl was advanced from,first reading-
The city attorney was instructed
to notify all property owners to im
mediately clean up such sidewalks as
might be covered with dirt from cav
ing embankments or terraces on
abutting property, or else suffer the
penalty prescribed for permitting
walks to be blocked beyond a rea
sonable period.
On motion of Councilman Tooze
the council voted to proceed no fur
ther with the purchase of the rock
crushing plant until the equipment
offered thg city had been carefully in
spected by the city engineer and
some unbiased person who under
stood the merits of such mechanisms.
Mr. Tooze made his motion to protect
the city from. buying something up
on which none of the council felt
qualified to pass an expert opiniofl.
If the. report made is favorable, the
crusher will probably be purchased.

FOR MEET
The Oregon City high school track
team, which will represent the local
high school, at the big all-Oregon
track meet to be held in Eugene May
9, under the auspices of the Univer
sity of Oregon, has been chosen. The
following men will represent Oregon
City: Kent Wilson, captain, broad
jump; John Damback, in the hurdle
events; Earnest Cross, sprints, and
Charles Beatie in the weights. Prof.
Forbes will accompany the boys, who
will leave on the 4 : 00 o'clock train
Thursday afternoon.
The boys are in hopes of bringing
home several points, but. the task
will be a hard one, as there will prob
ably be at least 35 high schools from
other parts of the state represented.
The local boys have been badly
handicapped in their track work as
well as in other athletic branches by
the lack of good training ground. For
track events, there is practcally no
place for the boys to train this side
of Gladstone park, and it is hoped
that the school board or council will
see itself clear to provide an athletic
field some place nearer the school.
NOT SO SANITARY
Complaints has been made in re
gard to newsboys and others who con
gregate on the southeast corner of
Main and Seventh' streets, and find
the public fountain located there a
convenient place to loaf about. The
boys, it is reported, have the habit of
playing with the sanitary drinking
device on the fountain; and have al
so found that a good way to wash
their hands is to rub them over the
mouthpiece of tae device. People
who have observed them say that this
does not increase the cleanliness of
the fountain.

THE
Settled In Heaven-Perhaps
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1913, by Associated Lit
erary Press.
Nobody could ever exactly fix the
date when the dispute between Joab
Warner and Moses Stansell originated,
but It was generally concluded that it
lasted twenty-uiue years before Provi
dence put an end to it One fall even
ing, when Delhi consisted of only seven
houses and a huckleberry patch, Joab
and Moses met at the postoffice, and
after a little talk Joab said:
"Moses, I'm told that you've got a
tolerable appetite for cider."
MYes. tolerable admitted Moses. .
"You alius lay in a bar'l for winter?"
"I surely do."
"And yhat do you put into It to keep
it from gettin' hard and twangy?"
"1 alius use a little peppermint"
"I've heard you did, and I'm goin' to
tell you of a better thing. Put in sas
safras instead of peppermint and
you'll have a bar'l of cider equal to
champagne. You know how folks cry
for my cider along in the winter, and
it's the sassafras what does it"
"Sassafras couldn't beat peppermint"
says Moses as he shakes his head.
"But it does beat it all holler," says
Joab. "You use it once and you'll be
grateful to me all the rest ,of your
life." '
"1 don't doubt you mean well, Joab,
but I shall stick to peppermint"
"I'm givin' you sassafras, Moses."
"And I'm givin' you peppermint,
Joab."
"Waal, I wouldn't give peppermint to
a grubby calf."
"And 1 wouldn't give sassafras to an
nllin" hog!"
That was the beginning of the dis
pute. They didn't lay bands on each
other, but they felt edgeways, and they
never met without bringing up the
question. They had it all to them
selves at first but after a bit other
folks were dragged into it and a good
share of the county was divided into
peppermints" and "sassafrasers."
Both disputants were church mem
bers and belonged to the same church,
aud the pastor finally called them be
fore bini and said:
"See here, brethren, why this dis
pute V"
"'Cause Mose is a mule," replied
Joab.
'Cause Joab is an idiot" replied
Moses.
"That is not Christian talk."
"Let him give up, then, and say he's
wrong."
"lie's the one that's got to give up."
"But you will divide the church if
you keep this up," warned the pastor.
"I'd hate to see it," replied Moses,
"but peppermint's the thing to preserve
cider."
"And I will never divide a church if
I kin help it," added Joab, "but no
body but a idiot would use peppermint.
Sassafras is the thing, parson sassa
fras!" "Peppermint parson peppermint!"
, "But if both are good"
"But they hain't!"
Almost every night in the year Joab
and Moses met at the postoffice, and
after sort of elbowing each other
around for a spell Joab would say:
"Why, hello, Moses, is that you? I
thought I smelt peppermint around
here!"
"And I smelt sassafras as soon as
you left home!" Moses would reply.
"Still stiobin' to it are you, that pep
permint is the right thing to keep cider
from gettin' too hard"
"I am, and alius I shall, and so would
any one else but a born fool!" "
There would be more to it and a
dozen men would go over the question
and call each other fools and liars, and
the trouble kept spreading. It beat
Joab when he ran for supervisor, and it
downed Moses when be wanted to be
a deacon of his church. If a lightning
rod man or a tin peddler showed up
within ten miles of Jericho he was
asked for his opinion on the cider
question, and the man who favored
pepiermint couldn't do business with
the sassafrasers. Many people tried
to smooth over the quarrel, but when
they went to Joab he said:
"I'm willin' enough to be friends
with Moses, but. durn his hide, he's
got to drop that peppermint business
fust!"
Then they would go to Moses and
talk and argue and point out his duty,
but he would shake his head and reply:
"It's no use talkin' till Joab lets go
of sassafras. He's stickin' to it jest
because he's pigheaded and wants to
come out on top."
" The thing had been going on for near
ly forty years, and Joab and Moses had
got to be grandfathers and old men,
when they met at the postoffice for the
last time. Both were tottering and
feeble, and as thej caught sight of
each other Joab called out:
"It's that blamed peppermint workin'
in your system, and I don't carle how
soon it takes you off!"
"It's that sassafras in your blood," re
plied Moses, "and your folks needn't
expect me to come to your funeral!"
The next day both of them were in
bed, and after looking them over the
doctor said their time bad come to go.
Tbey lasted two weeks and died on
the same day. but before dying Joab
sent word to Moses:
"I ain't got no pity for such a critter.
If you'd used sassafras you might have
lived to be 100 years old."
When Moses received the message
he braced up and sent back word:
"Nobody wants any pity from you.
.If thar's cider in heaven they'll nse
peppermint to keep It from growtn'
hard."

affidavit was subscribed and sworn
to before one Charles R. Donnell, '
notary public for Oregon, on No
vember 1st, 1912. In said affidavit :
O. W. Severence makes the follow
ing statement:
"He said -he would let me know
but in a few days I met Mr. Mat
toon and he told me the bridge had
been let to the Coast Bridge Co. I
asked him why they did not let me
know of the letting as they had
agreed to do and he said the judge
. had given the contract to the Coast .
Bridge Coo., before he knew it." I
That I did not make said statement
or any similar statement to O. W.
Severance as set forth, in said ;
statement, or to any other person j
at that or at any time, or at all. j
Affiant further states that before)
any bridge contract is let, the ac-!
tionis taken by the entire Board

the case referred to in the affidavit
of said O. W. Severance, as well
as in the letting of all other con

troubles so that I could hardly sit up.
Two of the best doctors in our town
treated me, and I tried different'medi

Setting well.
One day, I decided to try some Car

ordered some more, and it .cured me!
Today, I feel as well as I ever did in
my life.
The pains and th9 trouble are all
gone. I feel like another person in

A few doses of Cardui at the right

It tones up the nervous system, and
helps make pale cheeks fresh and rosy.
Thousands of weak women have been
