GLADSTONE There is something
ONCE AGAIN about Gladstone that
just naturally attracts praise, even
as the morning-glory attracts the
humming bird. Gladstone should ac-;
quire a publicity, agent, so that its
good points may be better "known, for
The Enterprise, much as it would like
to, is unable to sound its praises with
sufficient vigor and prolongation.' The
song of Gladstone, to be properly sung
needs a magnifying horn of gigantic
proportions, and leather lungs at
tached. This weeK tne neighboring city ha3
accomplished two things of which the
world should know. It has complet
ed its road to its own gravel pit, and
so put itself in a position to deliver
hard-surface material on its own
streets at a cost of 60 cents a yard;
and it has acquired an island park.
By both these accomplishments Glad
stone has made itslef a better place
for homes, and hap demonstrated that
even a youn city can do things when
its citizens and municipal administra
tion are possessed of a firm determin
ation. Sixty cents a yard for street mater
ial, dumped where it is to be rolled,
is something that should make the
rest of the Northwest sit up and take
notice. Oregon City, not so long
since, had some pride in having at
tained street material at $1.25 a yard.
But Gladstone has gone and cut that
figure more than in half. By the
" same taken Gladstone can improve
twice as many miles of streets for
the same money as can its nearest
neighbor. To make this possible
Gladstone spent $1,500 for its gravel
pit, and about $400 for a road to
town. For $1,900 Gladstone has put
itself in a position to laugh at con
tractors and paving trusts; and aside
from that it will probably save this in
itial outlay on the first street improv
ing job that it undertakes.
Gladstone's park, which already ex
isted as a strip of beautifully located
lang along the banks of the Clack
amas river, has now been increased
24 acres by the activity of its Com
mercial club and through the kind

the Willametta Pulp & Paper mills to
the town. This island will be con

by a bridge, and Gladstone will then
have a public playground as ideally
situated as any recreation field in
the Northwest. The value of this
park cannot be over-estimated, espe
cially as it is within a minutes walk
of the very center of the city.
Oregon City might learn something
from Gladstone. Oregon City 'might
learn how to obtain economical street
work, and it might learn the value of
park land. And in the meantime it
cannot help but envy the fortunate
citizens of the neighboring city, and
congratulate them upon their pro

they display it in a different vein.
There is a man in this city who
has been here but a short time, yet
who sets himself up as the oracle of
all wisdom and the augur of the fu

is unfair in his statements, biased in

ETWEEN THE MILLIONS
15
MORE MILLIONS FOR PENSIONS THE POOR NAVY HAS
TO STEP BACK. THE UNITED STATES SHOULD BE FIRST,
NOT SECOND OR THIRD, BUT SHOULD LEAD THE' WORLD
IN THE SIZE AND STRENGTH OF HER NAVY.
H
She can afford it, and for the wisdom of the policy of maintaining
a big navy one has only to look at Germany. When the present em
peror came to the throne it was predicted that he would have war on
all sides, but with a keen comprehension of the difficulties ahead of
him he proceeded to build a large navy and create a big army. The
result is that he has not had a war during his reign. POWERFUL
ARMAMENTS BREED PEACE. ' ' ;
The United States has of late years made itself a world power
with obligations and responsibilities of corresponding proportions, to
protect and discharge which she now has a navy ranking third.
Great Britain is first and Germany second, with France aa the
fourth in the line. But all of these nations and Japan have such ex
tensive shipbuilding programs mapped out that the United States
WILL SOON FIND ITSELF LN FOURTH PLACE.
History, ancient and modern, is rich in illustrations where disaster
and INGLORIOUS DEFEAT WAS THE PRICE PAID FOR
WEAK NAVIES. Some of the most brilliant campaigns in the
annals of warfare lost their luster because the naval contingents were
powerlpss to hold the advantages so deadly "von.
vancement, and to bring to light
wrongs that should be corrected. But j
this paper, which also believes in the !
good that lies in every man, does not
think that either the policy of The
Courier or the apparent personal at
titude of M. J. Brown, its editor, is
accomplishing any more for Clack
amas county or Oregon City than i3
the rampant activity of outside agitat
ors who have recently attempted to
dictate to local citizens what they
should, and what they should not do.
Different newspapers, like different
people, may often take opposing views (
of public questions, but the paper that
is constantly "agin the government"
can neither be sincere in its gensral
fault-finding, nor can it accomplish
reconstructive good. .
It is the mission of the modern
newspaper to point out glaring
wrongs, and it is its privilege to!
praise the good things of a commur.-1
ity. A paper that does both these j
things is constructive in its policy!
and is a help to any city or county, j
But a paper that does only one ofi
these things is either not doing its
full duty, or is deliberately capitaliz
ing the public inclination to listen to
scandal; and as such is a detriment to
the community, to its readers and to
itself. And it is particularly out of
place for a newcomer in any neighbor
hood to set himself upon a pedastal
of virtue, and hurl therefrom shafts
of censure and mistrust at everybody
else. Some of tha shafts may re
bound. ,
It is worthy of note that when bids
were opened for the construction of
a county bridge across Kellogg creek,
near Milwaukie, that sterling patriot
and earnest advocate of economy In
the county affairs, Ed. Olds, submit
ted the highest bid of alL His bid
was exactly two hundred dollars and
thirty-six cents above that of the
successful contractor. Perhaps Mr.
Olds figured as "closely" on this mat
ter as he did one some of the other
spans, for which he charged the coun
ty had paid extravagant sums.

Hon. Adam Beck
Hon. Adam Beck, who has played
an equally prominent part in indust
rial affairs and public life in Ontario,
"was born in Waterloo county, Ontario
June 20, 1857. His education was re
ceived principally in the public
schools of Gait, Ont.'"; After leaving
school he entered thp office of his
father who was engaged in the iron
foundary business. In 1880 the son
embarked in the manufacturing busi
ness on his own account. He was
successful from the start and soon be
came a prominent factor in industrial
circles. In the .general election of
1898 Mr. Beck was an unsuccessful
candidate for the Ontario legislature.
In the election four years later he waa
successful and in 1905 he was appoint
ed a minister without protfolio in the
Whiteney administration. His chief
claim to fame is as the originator of
the hydro-power legslation, which has
been instrumental in furnishing many
cities of Ontario with an abundant
power at a low price ad is already ac
moplishing wonders in aiding in the
development of those cities as manu
facturing centers.

ANCIENT SKYSCRAPERS.
Roman Houses Were Tall and Flimsy,
the Streets -Narrow Lanes.
The tenement house is no new thing.
So great was the number of such
houses and so badly were tbey put up
in ancient Koine that in 69 A. D. the
Emperor Otho, who was then marching
against Vitellius, found his way barred
for twenty miles by the ruins of build
ings that had been undermined by an
Inundation. The spontaneous collapse
of tenement houses was so common an
occurrence that little attention was
paid o it. "
The tenants of these houses have
been described by a writer of the time
as fearing to be buried or burned
alive. Companies existed- for the pur
pose of propping and sustaining
houses.
In comparison with the tenements of
most modern cities, those of Rome
were excessively high. Martial alludes
to a poor man. a neighbor, who had to
mount 200 steps to- reach his garret.
That garret must hare been perched
nearly 100 feet above the level of the
street.
It is possible that Martial exaggerat
ed, but it is certain that Augustus, to
make less frequent" the occurrence of
disasters, limited the height of new
houses that opened upon the streets to
about sixty-eight feet. As this was a
remedial regulation and referred only
to new houses fronting on the street,
it follows that some houses must have
exceeded that height.
This, moreover, was irrespective of
flie breadth of the street In Berlin the
medium width of the streets is twenty
two meters, and in Paris the narrow
est streets are nearly eight meters
wide, while the streets of Rome ex
tended only five or six meters, and on
these narrow streets the tall houses
were built. Light and air must have
had some difficulty in penetrating those
narrow, walled in passages.
Man's Character.
According to an old French saying,
"A man's character is like his shadow,
which sometimes follows and some-,
times precedes him and which Is occa
sionally longer, occasionally shorter,
than he Is."
