CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER
BEAUTIFY Speaking at the "neigh
YOUR CITY borly call" meeting of
the Oregon City and Molalla Com
mercial clubs, O. K. Freytag urged
members of the new organization to
devote some of their snergy, among
other things, to making their town
look attractive, so that visitors would
be favorably impressed with first
view of the community. No reflec
tion upon Molalla was carried in this
advice, it was the simple statement
of an axiom in city-building that is
too little recognized.
The West has been so busy grow
ing and developing that in its rush
of achievement many of the minor
things have been overlooked. But it
is one of the hopeful and promising
signs of this great reach of country
between the Rockies and the Pacific,
that whenever a community once be
comes firmly established it turns its
attention to beautifying itself. How
ever, while it is "better late than
never," the time to start being beau
tiful is when the community starts
growing. Portland is having periodi
cal excitements over the "city beauti
ful plan" these days, when it is not
wrestling with politics, and is real
izing that it made the mistake of not
having these same spasms years ago.
Any person who contrasts, for in
stance, the narrow streets of Port
land with the broad highways of
North Yakima, must at once confess
that the smaller Washington city
makes the better impression. North
Yakima was planned and laid out by
the Northern Pacific railroad in a
moment of peevishness against Yak
ima City, and right at the start it
was given 100-foot streets and park
ing strips. For years North Yakima
looked weird and vacant as a conse
quence, for wide streets and parking
strips do not harmonize with one and
two-story shacks. But now that
North Yakima has become a city of
size, with business blocks ranging
up to seven stories in height, the wis
dom of its founders is seen. .
Portland, on the other hand, has
passed the stage where she can add
to her beauty by any means less than
the tearing down and destruction of
hundreds of her " edifices. She is
crowded for room, for light and for
space. Her "city beautiful" pro
poganda has become a farce, largely
because it calls for the aritrary cut-

ting away of whole blocks of her
built-up territory. It is true that
Portland can still improve in the out
skirts, and is doing this, but the main
part of the city must remain like
many other American cities crowd
ed and ugly. . '
Thus it is that the advice to Mo
lallans by Mr. Freytag was excellent.
It is good advice for any community
that expects development. It is good
advice for Oregon City. The appear
ance of a town has discouraged many
a new-comer from the East from lo
cating in a certain section, for no
body wants to live in a city that one
is ashamed to boast about. Laying
out wide streets, providing for park
ing strips and trees, assuring plenty
of room even in the business section,
may all seem like a waste of prop
erty when a city is in the embryonic
stage; but with later growth it will
be found of value. So will the plant
ing of lawns, the keeping of grounds
about houses in good order, and the
planting of decorative shrubbery in
the place of picket fences. Many a
town has gained its real growth and
success solely through its aesthetic
appeal; and no town can ever find
its development a matter of such
pressing need that it cannot take
time to provide for the beauty,
health and general appearance of it
self in the future. '
MOLDING A CHARACTER.
You are a block of rough marble.
You may soma time come to be a
splendid statue, but must be chiseled
and hammered before that can be
reached. Grief, struggle, disappoint
ment, all the sad experiences which
' fill life so full, are the tools which
"the great artist will by slow degrees
convert you from a mere block to a
thing o( beauty. George H. Hep-worih.
One Way to Put It.
"Say. papa." exclaimed little Lola.
"T want to ask you a very important
question."
'Vell. what is It. dear?" he asked.
"I will be Hve years old tomorrow,"
rejoined the small diplomat, "and I'd
like to know what you think I'd like
for a birthday present." Chicago

Medicine Not
Advancing; It Is
Standing Still
By Dr. ANTHONY BASSLER.
Medical Instructor of New York
, i
IV J.
EDICINE is making a flashy progress here and there, but the
rank and file of the men are standing still. The causes for
this are many :
The warped organizations that some have reared for
their own benefit, utilizing a definite specialty that its leader may have
to supply.
TOO MUCH SUBTLE ADVERTISING in nd out of the pro
fession on the part of some for their own benefit rather than for that
of the art of medicine. :
TOO MANY HOSPITALS AND CLINICS with inferior men
in them in high positions and not enough co-operation oil a case be
tween them. "
TOO MUCH ENTHUSIASM on the part of some and NOT
ENOUGH oji that of others. "
TOO MANY UNFAIR LAWS AND NOT ENOUGH GOOD
ONES. No health bureau at Washington.
NOT ENOUGH PURE BROTHERLY LOVE between us,
eince this always makes for our own and the patient's benefit.
Meet In the Schoolhouses

Use Buildings as

by American Press Association.
By MARGARET WILSON.
Daughter of the President
GREAT system of so
cial centers, where all
classes will MEET
AND DISCUSS
THEIR PROBLEMS, where
young men and girls can enjo
each other's company outside
the cheap theater and dance
hall, is the need of the nation.
I hope soon to see every
schoolhouse a real club for adults as well as a place of instruction for
children.
I LONG TO SEE ALL THE SCHOOLS OF THIS COUNTRY OPEN
THEIR DOORS TO THE PUBLIC. THE IDEA SHOULD BE CARRIED
TO EVERY CITY AND VILLAGE IN THE UNITED STATES NO MAT-'
TER HOW SMALL. THE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE. RIGHT TO
USE THESE BUILDINGS WHICH NOW STAND IDLE FOR SO LARGE
A PART OF THE DAY FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES.
. i
People who otherwise would never be able to take any part in pub
lic affairs should be able to MEET IN THE SCHOOLHOUSES
AND DISCUSS PUBLIC QUESTIONS.
Young men and women who might otherwise e driven to seek
recreation in inferior surroundings could get the social relaxation
which they all crave WITHIN THE SAFE WALLS OF THE
SCHOOL" BUILDINGS. -
Every state legislature should pass laws enabliim the people to use
the SCHOOL BUILDINGS AS SOCIAL CENTERS.
Lf the schools were thrown open for civic anil social purposes the
citizens of a particular district could meet and OPENLY DISCUSS
THE POLITICAL AND CIVIC NEEDS OF THEIR IMMEDl
ATE COMMUNITY. The scope of later work toward cleaner poli
tics and social betterment cannot now be estimated.
That It Pays to Advertise
(From OREGON CITY PUBLICITY)
Is proven again and again, but it
does not pay to draw word pictures
that cannot be substantiated by real
facts. It is far better for the coun
try advertised if the prospective set
tler comes out to find conditions more
delightful than his dreams of the West
and the land of the setting sun. It
pays to send out literature which sets
forth the advantages of Oregon in an
absolutely truthful and correct man
ner. The truth is good enough, and
nothing but the truth shall be record
ed on these pages so long as the man
agement of the Publicity work is iu
the hands of the present Committee
and its Manager.
The Eastern laud shows are bear
ing fruit. Some oi the visitors of the
Minneapolis Land Show of last No
vember are here looking over the op
portunities offered, and are more than
delighted with the beautiful country
they find. They, find a beautiful rich
soil, and teams and men at work iu
the field planting potatoes and other
field crops. The country presents to
them a welcome in the beautiful blos
som time, for the trees are all in
bloom, the grass deep and richly
green, and a smell of clover pervades
the air. The blue sky smiling down
over it all adds to the charm and
beauty of a wonderfully beautiful hill
country, well wooded, and with num
erous streams, rushing, rushing to
pour- their waters in to the Willam
ette. The fertile valleys of these
streams find favor in the sight of the
new comers, as do the rolling uplands.
Besides those already here, letters
are coming in saying that in 30 or
60 or- 90 days there will be on their
way to this promising land more new
comers and asking many questions as
to what to bring. "Shall we bring
our horses and cows" and even the
dog, "and our farm,; machinery. ' Un
less you are compelled absolutely to
sacrifice or give these things away
"NO. Everything is as cheap. if not
cheaper here than in the Eastern
cities. These are not pioneer days in
Oregon We manufacture many of the
" . - -
things you will want, and a critical
comparison of Eastern prices while on
a visit in the East, with Western
prices, gives the West the advantage
in lower prices with quality as good
if not better than Eastsrn values.
Bring enough money to buy some
land, or to make substantial payment
on land, and you will mfte good in
Clackamas County. .
It is not our purpose to encourage
settlers to come ,to our cities. The
cities of Oregon are sufficiently at
tractive to lure people to them once
they are seen, but we want you to
come and help us develop our coun
try. The rewards are sufficient in
ducement, and-any man who loves
nature knows how happy one can be
with a few acres of land. He may
not know how much can be produced
on a small tract in this land of pro
ductiveness, but it has been demon
strated that five or ten acres are suf
ficient for the needs of a man, his
wife and a growing family, and with
something to spare for a rainy day.
In fact two elderly people, a man and
his wife are making a comfortable liv
ing on four lots, each 50x100, andthe
house and small barn are set on these
lots. This by the way merely to show
what IS done in Clackamas County.
However do not be misled by these
statements, for we do not mean to
say that a good living can be made
on 5 or 10 acres at a long distance
from town, but 10 acres is ample if
you can enjoy the city .markets where
you can dispose of your crops.
At some distance from town no less
than 40 acres will prove profitable to
a pan with a family. On this gener
al farming, poultry raising, etc., may
be practiced advantageously.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR ROSES
(From OREGON CITY PUBLICITY)
Dope for cut worms and slugs, and
spray for roses can be had at the
Publicity office at a small cost. .
If Conkey's White Diarrhea Remedy
doesn't cure this disease in your lit
tle chicks, we will refund your money.

THE ERA OF THE PEOPLE. '
In the Omaha convention that wit
nessed the birth of the People's party
back In 1S02 there was a delegate
from Pennsylvania who aroused. both
amusement and enthusiasm by fre
quently ejaculating with camp meet
ing fervor: "Amen: Let all the people
say 'Amen!' "
Twenty years have passed, and
many of the policies first enunciated
in tire platform adopted by that con
vention have since become laws or are

The income tax.
The initiative, referendum and re

The submergence of partisan spirit
The rule of the people.
The control of railroads.
The curbing of monopoly.
The conservation movement looking
to the curbing of the monopoly in land
and natural resources.
These and many more . remedial
measures have come or are on the
way.
As they have one by one been crys
tallized in tbe national policy 1 have
often thought of tbe pious ejaculation
of tbe Pennsylvania delegate:
"Let all the people say 'Amen!"' .
Not only in our own land, but abroad,
the rule of the people has been arriv
ing. The great strides made in Brit
ain and in Australasia and other parts
of the British empire, the growth of
the democratic movement in Germany,
the establishment of a parliament in
Russia, the advance of popular gov
ernment in France, the gradual awak
ening of Spain, the inauguration of
republics In Portugal and China, tbe
freeing of Cuba, the driving of Turkey
from Africa and nearly from Europe,
the prospect of a new United Status
of the Balkans all these are signs of
the advance toward enlightenment
and a higher order throughout the
earth.
Let all the people say "Amen!"
We have but started on the road to
ward the world, republic. It may yet
seem a long way off. but with man's
ever accelerated progress who dares
to say that it may not arrive during
the lifetime of the present generation?
The masses of men are going to de
velop themselves, enlighten them
selves, rule themselves.
We are approaching tbe era of the
people.
THE PRISONERS' CIPHER.
A Puzzling Code That Was Discovered
Only by Accident.
Prisoners in jails are generally very
ingenious, so much so, in fact, that it
has been frequently remarked that if
their skill and ingenuity were turned
to honest purposes they would thrive
much better than as criminals.
One branch of ingenuity is displayed
in the plans they make to communi
cate with one another. They construct
cipher codes, but the officials generally
manage to translate them.
Recently in a western jail the guards
encountered a cipher that proved too
hard, for them, and it was a good while
before the puzzling messages were
made out. and then the key was acci
dentally discovered.;. A man in for
forgery, as smart a rogue as ever was
behind the bars, invented tbe puzzle.
The writing was on long, narrow
strips of paper, on the edge of which
were letters and. parts of letters that
apparently had no connection and from
which' no words could be formed.
One day a deputy who was passing
the cell of a prisoner saw him passing
a long strip of paper around an octagon
lead pencil. He took this paper away,
and on it were the mysterious scrawls
that had worried the keepers.
But the deputy got an idea from this,
and, going back to the office, he wrap
ped the strip around an octagon shaped
lead pencil and after several trials ad
justed it so that the parts of letters
fitted together and made a sentence,
though the writing was very fine.
The writer had adopted the simple
ingenious- plan of covering the lead
pencil with the paper and had then
written along one of the flat sides. On
unrolling it the writing was as mys
tical as a cryptogram, but when put
around the pencil, as it was originally,
it could be easily understood. Dallas
