OREGON HEALTH OFFICERS TO
BE ASKED TO PASS ON
ENGLEBRECHT WELLS
LIVE WIRES MAKE SUGGESTION
Conference With Water Committee of
. Council Will Lead to Change '
of Proceedure in Search
for Supply
A conference between members of
tha special water committee of the
city council, and a similar committee
appointed by the Live Wires of the
Commercial club, was held Friday
evening in the council chamber. There
were present Chairman F. J. Tooze,
Councilman Mtetzner and Councilman
Long, of the council committee, an I
Dr. H. S. Mount, William Sheahan
and C. Schuebel, of the Live Wires.
Mr. Tooze reviewed for the bene,
fit of those present the work of the
water committee, and submitted
samples of the earth, sand and gravel
through which the wells on. the Engle
brecht property have been driven.
He then briefly reviewed his plans for
the further proceedings of the com
mittee investigationfi and . asked the
members of the Live Wires for their
" opinion of the work so far done. They
endorsed the work of the committee,
and said that they believed the coun
cilmen had obtained a great deal of
valuable information, but suggested a
radical change in the future proceed-
Mr. Schuebel, who acted as spokes
men for the Live Wires, and who was
backed up in all he said by the oth
ers, told Mr. Tooze that he believed
the immediate need of the situation
was that an opinion be obtained from
J.1 - ' - - - 1 J - i" 1 1.1 j. i '
iu siau; uuara 01 ueunu as lu iut'
purity of tha water struck in -the test
wells . already driven, and suggested
that Mr. Tooze and the council com
mittee at once get into touch ,with the
state officials, persuade soma of them
to come to Oregon City and loog over
the ground, examine samples of the
water, and then make a written - re
port to the council upon their find
ings. Such a report, said Mr. Schue
bel, would be above " question, and
would probably be accepted by Ore
gon City people as being thoroughly
reliable.
' "You mean that Oregon City people
will believe these men, while they
have not got confidence in us," said
Mr. Tooze.
Mr.- Sehuebsl and the other Live
Wires present promptly expostulated
that they meant nothing of the kind:
adding tnat it was necessary to nave
an expert opinion on the wells, and
that an opinion from the state board
of health would be the best obtainable
and would carry the most weight
with the people.
Mr. Tooza accepted the suggestion,
first saying, however, that he would
like to complete the series of tests
the committee was now making, and
perhaps instal a pump and get more
water from the wells beforehand.
Members of the Live Wires answered,
saying that they believed it would be
better to get the opinion from the
stats board of health first, so as to
have definite grounds upon which to
base' an appeal for further funds for
developing tha Englebrecht wells if
they were found satisfactory. It was
therefore agreed by the members of
the special council committee to gei
in touch with the state board at the
earliest possible moment, and to ar
range for them to make their report
on the matter to a meeting 01 tue
council, which is to be held in some
hall that will accomodate comfortably
a large number of citizens. In the
meantime Mr. Tooze and the commit
tee will continue with such tests as
rre now being made, and will have
further measurements taken of the
well, the tlow ot water, ana tne ui
rection of the flow.
Among the questions discussed at
the meeting were, the probable source
of the underground stream of water
tapped by the test wells, and the
availability of the water at all sea-

GLADSTONE PARK, July 11 Mr
Ng Poon Chew, eminent Chinese
statesman, and orator of the first
rank, held spellbound, an audiencs at'
almost 4000 people in Chautauqua and
itorium Friday afternoon, and played
upon their heartstrings as would a
Bryan, a Spurgeon, or a Gypsy Smith.
The famous Chinese was at his best
in his great lecture, "Modern China,"'
and those who heard him speak in
Portland recently admitted that it
was not the same man who spol;e to
day. Wit, humor and pathos abound
ed in Mr. Chew's lecture, which was
a plea for further recognition of "his
country and his people and their pos
sibilities. He spoke for almost two
hours.
Mr. Chew bitterly denounced the
Manchu rule, which he says is alone
raspcnsible for China's backwardness
among the nations of taa world.
The Manchus, he said, were the
original standpatters. They, and tiray
alone- ruined the China that wou'd
have been.
Ha carried nis audience with him
through the 400 years of Manchu
barbarities, of the many failures in
attempting to overthrow their power
ful system, and of the final success
in September, 1911,. when the fall
came, and when, as Mr. Chew smiling
ly said, "All the kings horses and all
the king's' men could not put Humpty
Dumpty on the wall again."
He deplored the hoggish attitude of
European nations in robbing the Chin
ese of this territory. "Why every
Tom,' Dick and Harry nation just
helped themselves to a chunk ot
China. Now, wouldn't that jar you?
he asksd.
It was in discussing the problem of
"opium" that confronts the Chinese
race that K?r. Chew's oratory was at
its best, and in his large audience
there were but few Untouched by his
pathetic description of the ravages of
this drug among his countrymen. "We
can forgive and forget our financial
stringencies, our sacrifice of 4,000,000
lives as a tribute to historic and
modern warfare; we can overlook the
humiliation, that we must endure as
a nation centuries behind the times,
and still with 5000 years of history
back of us; we can overlook all these
things, but we never can forget the
introduction of opium among our peo
ple as a result of early contact with
a Christian nation."
Mr. Chew paid a glowing tribute to
the United States, referring to our
country as "China's foster mother, '
and telling how the constitution of
the new republic was patterned after
that of the United States. 1 President
Wilson's generous attitude toward the
Chinese financial policy met with the
hearty commendation of tne speaker,
though he regretted the long wait of
fourteen months before the United
States recognized China's new re
public. "Had Teddy been on tha job, he
would have swung his big etip in the
air, brought it down with a bang and
said 'dee-lighted,'" said Mr. Chew,
and he showed his teeth in the favor
ite attitude of the former president.
Mr. (Jhew is a staunch advocate of
universal peace among nations, a uni
que position for a man wh.ose home
land has been steeped in the blood of
54 revolutions in the last 400 years,
and innumerable international con
flicts. Mr. Chew commended the suf
frage movement which is as promin
ent ia his own country as here. The
system of education now being start
ed in China will solve all the Chinese
problems, he believes, better than
any other factor. Compulsory educa
tion is now in vogue, and the very
essence of the textbooks used in
China now point toward democracy.
The speaker regretted doubtfulness
of other nations as to the success of
the new Chinese republic. "We have
not experience, it is true, but you
realize with me that experiment must
precede experience. Our patriotism
is growing however, growing wonder
fully, and that is" the surest omen of
our ultimate success."
Frederick Vining Fisher was the
speaker Friday night, with an illus
trated lecture on the Panama canal
and the Panama Exposition. He, too,
was well received, with almost as
large an attendance as greeted Mr.
WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND.
