THAT BARN Opposition to the ban
ORDINANCE ordinance, officially
known as Number 6J1, continues, and
it is reported that an effort will be
waue at a lonnooming council meet
ing to have the measure rescinded.
Those opposed to the meaaura sav
that they base their antagonism to it
solely because it is too drastic, and
because it works hardship upon the
man who has his own littif; barn and
keeps therein one cow or thij family
horse.
On the other side of the fence are
to be found the Live Wires of the
Commercial club and most of the pro
gressive citizens of Oregon City, who
see in the ordinance - nothing more
drastic than, proper regulation, and
who believe the measure perfectly ap
propriate for a city of the size .and

wife, the
wife who doesn't
grow up, is al
ways unhappy.
The, mistake
women, wives, v
have always
made is that they
have concentrate
ed too intensely on emotion. They
have made it the only thing iri the
world, allowing it to .ABSORB
THEM TO THE EXTINCTION
OF ALL OTHER INTERESTS.
Now, while love is the highest ex
perience of life, it is not all, and
only the love that is without wis
dom assumes to be all.
The American wife is APT
TO LOVE WITHOUT WIS
DOM. I think that has been the
trouble with her. It's been the
fault of her training. She has
been brought up to think that love
in the sense of a sentimental rela
tionship is the end and aim of her
being. But just because she thinks
that she is so often unable to keep
love after it is given to her. And
then what , else does - her future
hold? '

growth of this community. The Live
Wires have endorsed the ordinance
with but one dissenting vote, and no
body who has the health of the city
at heart has risen to oppose it.
Ic is touching in the extreme to see
a sudden regard on the part of some
folk for the humble citizen who keeps
a cow or the family horse within the
city limits. Whenever there is a
fervent appeal for the rights of the
common man it is a good plan to look
elsewhere for the root of the com
plaint. Careful reading of the ordin
ance does not show that the poor cit
izen who wants to keep his cow or
to have old Dobbin in the family barn
is very much up against it. All that
he has to do is to provide a drain for
liquid filth and wash water from the
barn, and to empty this daily after it
has accumulated. It is also required
that he keep a fJy-proof box for refuse
not so easily disposed of, and that
this box must be emptied at least
once a week.
The average man who keeps any
kind of a domestic animal does these
things as a matter of course, and as
much for the animal's comfort as for
his own. He will not find the ordin
ance a hardship. It does not require,
as is stated by the enemies of the
measure, that the barn must have a
concrete floor and must be connected
with a sewer. It simply provides for
common decency. There may be
some people whose barns have not
been kept In .even this reasonable
state, of cleanliness if there are, it
is time the city did something to
make them reform their ways. The

It's of essential importance that
the wife should not permit her
inimfto become INACTIVE, . I
approve of her being interested in
suffrage, in her club, in social
work, in anything that will keep
her thoughts from FLOWING
IN ONE NARROW CHAN
NEL. :
I want to protest against the
self sacrificing woman, the wo
man who gives and gives to- life
and never takes. She HARMS
HERSELF, AND SHE HARMS
THOSE WHO ARE DEAREST
TO HER. Devotion should not
be so inflexible that it allows no
space for devotion in return. Since
it is more blessed to give than to
receive, why should one person try
to moropolize the blessing ?
MORNING ENTERPRISE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1913.
man the "small" man who has but
one horse or one cow, and who habitu
ally takes good care of his" stock, will
not object to the ordinance. Hence
the wai! set up in his behalf is found
quite unnecessary.
The ordinance does hit, however,
the big livery barn, or the trade
stable, that is contained in a ranir
shackle building, filth-soaked and un
healthy alike for -man and beast.
These places, of which there are too
many in Oregon City, are within the
sewer districts, and should be put in
decent shape. They should be con
nected with the sewers, their floors
should be relayed, and some modern
Hercules ought to be found to cleanse
them thoroughly. If this barn ordin
ances is to prove the. needed Hercules,
more power to it. The man who op
poses the barn ordinance is not op
posing it because he feels that it is
doing an injustice to the humble own
er of a family animal he' is opposing
it either because his owp barn is a
shame to the. community, or, because
he has been reached in some mysteri
ious way by the men who see in the
new measure a demand for some very
considerable expense on their part to
put their big, unsightly, unsanitary
and noisome barns and stables in fit
condition.
HOW TIMES Thirty-seven years ago
HAVE CHANGED today the first
telephone was put on exhibition at the
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia
and people marvelled at it and said
that it was just the finest thing in the
world. To us things are somewhat
different. Telephones are on exhibi
tion everywhere, and every time a
modern American tackles . one he or
she says it is anything but the nice
est thing in the world. We curse the
telephone propably with, more en
thusiasm and heartfelt sincerity than
anything else of present-day life yet
were we deprived of it we should be
utterly lost. What was a novelty less
than half a lifetime ago has become a
necessity, and with our familiarity
nas come a hardened and seasoned
contempt.
The telephone is really a very nice
thing, when it works. One can talk
over its mystic, wires from Denver to
iNew xorK, ana from Oregon City to
Salt Lake, and hear with perfect dis
tinctness. But when - we try to call
up a friend on the next block the lins
roars, sputters and buzzes, and finally
we slam the receiver on the hook and
vow that we will have the pesky thing
thrown out of the . house at the end
of the week.. We find that the tele
phone will call us in time to go to
work, will tell us what the weather Is
going to be, will give us the scores of
the ball game, and will chase all over
town to locate a business appoint
ment for us, and. we do.n't appreciate
it; but when, in the stilly hours of the
night somebody calls us by, mistake,
or the. other party on the line has a
call, we rave and vow that the tele
phone Is the worst torment ever creat
ed. Such is the way of the world. "
Thirty-seven years ago people
laughed at the telephone, or else they
thought it a fine electrical instru
ment; today they seldom laugh at it,
and totally disregard its perfections
and refinements. In former years we
had to wind a crank and go through
various gymnastics to call central;
now we just lift the receiver off the
nook. In former, days we used to
wonder what would happen if the jars
of battery. fluid" In the big box in the
hall should break, or if the lightning
should come in on the wires; now we
have no troubles or fears, yet we
don't appreciate our blessings. Thus
have thirty-seven years of comfort
ana convenience made us grouches,
it was ever thus. - .

Beautiful Southern Belle Is
One of June's Pretty Brides
WHEN Invitations were sent out for the wedding of Miss Ethel McCor
mlek, one of the prettiest daughters of the south, to Francis H. Mc
Adoo, son of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, on June Z a buzz
of Interest was manifested among society circles In Washington, Bal
timore and New York.- Miss McCormick's beauty is of the pronounced southern
type. She is as talented as she is vivacious and charming. She is the daughter
f Mrs. Isaac E. Emerson and stepdaughter of Captain Emerson, who live at
Brooklandwood, a fine country estate twenty miles from Baltimore. The wed
ding was scheduled to take place there.
RISE AND FALL OF SAWBILL
The End Came With a Rush When the
Gold Vein Vanished.
Fur from the railroad and more than
forty miles away from ' the nearest
white resident, bidden in the wilds of
one of the most picturesque parts of
the province of Ontario, Canada, spec
ter like, stands the. deserted village of
Sawbill. once a bustling mining camp
where several hundred men were employed.-
The end came suddenly. Tools were
drupped where workmen were install
ing a dynamo; dishes and furniture
and household jjoods were left as they
were when the word came that the
mine hud dosed. : The books end on
July 31, 1901. The store was left with
its stock of goods on the shelves, the
hotel closed its doors, its contents in
tact, and the postoffice ceased to be.
Only a watchman, was left. :
. Sawbill grew out of a gold strike.
The ledge, reported fabulously rich,
quickly gave out when real mining was
attempted. A road was built through
the wilderness, a "power house was
erected, a forty stamp mill went up
along with a hotel, store, postoffice and
many buildings for the employees. On
Aug. 15. ISiiit. .the electric lights were
turned on. The telephone line was
opened. The water rushed through the
huge flume across the lake, the giant
turbine revolved, the dynamo hummed,
and the power for operating the mine's
machinery was at hand. ,
But the $200 per ton output of the
little mill .first installed proved to be
only a deceptive lure for all the dol
lars that were poured into the enter
prise. When the big mill did run the
greatest amount of gold obtained per
ton was said never to have exceeded
$1.87. - The shafts were sunk deeper,
new ones were opened, but the wide
veins of ore which showed on or near
the surface narrowed to thin ribbons
or to nothing at all. The gold ob
tained could not begin to pay the oper
ating expenses.
The mill and its machinery, the pow
er plant and its equipment, stand as
though waiting for the whistle an
nouncing the beginning of a day's
work, though the last evidences of the
half million spent at Sawbill.. are dis
appearing before inevitable decay and
the encircling and encroaching forest

Heari to Heart
Talks
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
THE DIVINE LAW.
In music love is expressed by har
mony, hate by discord.
Love somebody. Help somebody.
Lift up somebody. Bless somebody
This is the divine law.
Live not unto yourself alone. For
get for a time your selfish ends. Get
out of the narrow shell of your ego
tism. . Brighten the lives of those
around you. Make sweeter the cup for
some other of God's children. Life is
dreary enough at times for all of us.
Then how much a kind word, a good
deed, helps! - .
Our hearts yearn for sympathy as
the Sowers yearn for the dew and the
rain.
- Love Is spiritual sunshine. Make
your soul a sun to radiate light and
warmth to all about you.
Hatred kills. Love gives Hfe. Hatred
embitters. Love sweetens and purl
fies. Hatred degrades. Love elevates.
Hatred is the road to hell. Love is the
path to heaven.
. Leave a plant without sunlight and
it withers and dies. Leave a heart
without love and it becomes stunted
and dwarfed.
Love, attraction, mutual dependence
and helpfulness run through all mat
ter, all life, all the uni versa
Love binds the atoms together, draws
force and sustenance to the organism
and forms the invisible chain which
holds the worlds and suns in space
With bonds of affection, patriotism
and brotherhood it unites the family,
nation and the race.
It is the soul of the social system. It
is the regenerating power of the world.
A child needs love as much as it
needs food, shelter and raiment. While
the physical comforts are essential for
its bodily growth, love Is required for
its spiritual unfoldment
Love attends us all along the journey
of life. It is with the Infant at birth.
It Is the monitor and guide of child
hood. It Is the miracle and sweetness
of youth. It is the stay of manhood
and the protection of manhood. It Is
the comfort of old age. It closes down
the eyelids in the last sleep. .
