MAKING The Corvallis Gazette-Times
'EM GROW says that an Oregon
rancher, writing to a friend back Ea3t
and trying to give him some idsa of
the fertility of the soil, said they had
to mow the grass off the dirt floor ev
ery day to find the baby; that one
.family nsar him had twin's, with only
one cradle, and the kid that Sad to
sleep on me noor grew twice as iasi
as the other. He also wrote that
where the soil is richest a man dare
not stand on one foot for any length
of time lest that leg, like that of a
Bidehill hog, become longer and so
be likely to bother him in walking,
unless he takes pains to even up ev
ery day.
This is pretty good for a booster
with a sense of humor. However, if
this rancher had lived in Clackamas
county, instead of in Benton county,
he might have boosted just as thor
oughly and surprisingly, and yet not
had to draw upon his imagination.
Secretary Freytag. of the publicity de
partment of tlie Commercial ciub, has
in his little exhibition parlors some
proof of the particular fertility of tha
kind of Oregon soil that is found in
Clackamas county that quite comes up
to the Corvallis story. Anions other
tiimgs he has a thisLle stalk nlae feet
and four inches high that attained its
size without any care or cultivation,
and which probably would have rival
led Jack-the-Giant-Killer's famous
bean stalk if an unthinking rancher
had not cut it off in its youth. It is
indeed a remarkable soil that will
coax nine feet of growth out of a
thistle.
Then there are those famous straw
berries that came four to a box,
there' are Gooseberries that are as
large as many Eastern plums, there
are cherries that look like crab-apples,
and there are ruhbarb stalks that look
like fluted columns from the Parthe-
American Suffragists Will Never
Adopt Militant Methods
By Miss ELIZABETH FREEMAN, English Suffragette
AMERICAN WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS WILL NEVER ADOPT MILITANT
i, METHODS. THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO, AND THEY -WILL NOT
WANT TO. THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF WOMEN GOING TO
THAT EXTREME IN AMERICA.
Political procedure is so different. American women are allowed
freely and without question to do things for which they arrest us in

- American women nave nee access io cue siaie ana leuerai legisia

STREET MEETINGS UNMOLESTED and sell their papers as they
' like, cot all these things Englishwomen were arrested long before
.there was any violence. It was those old arrests which helped lead up
to the violence. Just think of it, we were even arrested for going to
v. i
wic uuuac vi commons.
AMERICA CALLS FOR ENTIRELY DD7FERENT METHODS.
The spectacular thing which rouses the interest of the man in the street
and which rouses the curiosity of the ignorant man and woman who
have never before heard of suffrage is the MOST EFFECTIVE
MEANS of carrying on the propaganda in the United States.
Big meetings are not as good because it is only the converts or the
nearly converted who will go to them. But as for violence and militant
methods, the SITUATION DOES NOT CALL FOR. THEM, and
thev would be both futile and impossible.

non. While it is true that these anl
other exhibits received some cultiva
tion, they were not "milk fed" like the
prize pumpkins of the county fairs of
former days. They are selected from
average crops, and are but little larg
er than the average run of things on
Clackamas county farms. Things
grow well in Clackamas county when
they are given reasonably intelligent
care, and people in the rest of the
world are beginning to realize that
the western counties of Oregon are
just about as good places in which to
farm as can be found.
It was only last week that an ex
pert in the linen business dropped in
to Mir. Freytag's wonder-parlors, and
saw the finest and tallest flax he had
ever beheld. That flax grew in Clack
amas county, and may be the means
of bringing to this county a new in-
dutsry that will provide employment
for hundreds. The better the growth
of flax, the longer the fibres, and the
longer the fibres,, the more valuable
is the plant for manufacture into lii
en. When this expert discovered
Clackamas county flax, he put this
county on the map in the linen world,
and it is dollars to doughnuts that
something will come of his visit. All
of which goes to show that it pays to
advertise. Boosting is a fine thing.
Pride in one's home county is a fine
thing. Boosting with a thread of
humor in it, such as the Benton coun
ty writer upheaved from his .cranium
is very attractive but the real stuff
that cuts the ice is the sort of silent
yet eloquent boosting that is being
done day in and day out by the ex
hibit maintained of Clackamas county
marvels by the Oregon City Coinmer
cial club.
THE MOVIES The moving pictures
YET AGAIN are a joy to all of us.
Some of us go to see tbem night af
ter night because we find them en
tertaining, some discover in them an
educational value, others do their
traveling by the "film limited," and
feel that they have seen just as much
as the millionaires who go voyaging
about in cabins de luxe and high
powered benzine buggies. And ' out
here in the West there are some of
us who go to the flicker-shops fcecausa
we know that we are going to laugac
These guaranteed laughs are not
expected from the comedies, however,
but from the "Western pictures" that
ar made on the Jersey flats in the
neighborhood of Newark and other
centers of realism. It is only in such
surroundings that there could b
evolved the wonderful Indian pictures
that are flashed on the screen for
the edification of the movie patrons.
It is true that there are Indian pic-

tures and "Western dramas" that
have' the real Western favor, and that
truthfully portray the cunning of the
redman and the ingenuity ' of the
pioneer. But they are in a class by
themselves, and are not regarded as
mirth producers.
But when the average Westerner
sees .a film in which any human who
is enwrapped in a blanket is supposed
to be an Indian, and any character in
leather trousers and blue shirt is sup
posed to be a cowboy, there is occa
sion for smiling. And there are such
films. They show the brave and
dashing hero, pursued by savag
Sioux wearing Navajo blankets made
in Germany, suddenly pull up his
horse, turn about liesurely, and sho'ot
down the red fiends, and then go
galloping calmly on again. They show
Indians in a perfectly modern Maine-summer-resort
canoe paddling- first
on one side and then on the other
across the film; and they oftentimes
show stretching across the back
ground of the "wilderness" the cob
web lines of telephone and telegraph
wires. Such films as these are a
thing of joy to the' modern West, and
are just about as funny and mirth
provoking as the visiting Eastern a"t
or who portrays the Western sheriff
as a man with black whiskers, a fog
horn voice, a red nose and a perpetual
"still." Someday the East is going to
wake up, and find out how funny it
really it when it tries to show the
West what the West is supposed to
be like.

sons of the year. It seemed to be
the general poinion that the water en
tered the gravel vein at some point
well up on the Clackamas river, and
that there would probably be found a
constant supply. Owing to the rock
formations nearby, it was not thought
that the water could come from the
Willamette river, or from Abernethy
creek. In the course of the discus
sion, Dr. Mount gave some opinions
as to the filtration powers of the
gravel vein, but did not say that he
regarded such filtration as -absolute
protection against organisms in the
water. The gravel bed, however, was
regarded as a great factor for safe'.?

Mr. Tooze also told the members cf

way, so that none but the engineers,

OREGON CITY, Or., July 10. (Ed

regarding city water and the source
from which to obtain it.

ONE thousand I. W. W. strikers from the silk mills of Paterson, N. J,
appeared in a huge pageant in Madison Square Garden, New York city,
to enlist sympathy in their labor war and to raise funds to carry on tha
strike. All the principal scenes In their strike were re-enacted in as life
like manner as possible. The men and women were shown quitting the mills,
establishing pickets, holding open air meetings, standing in the bread line and
holding the funeral of one of their comrades who was slain In a riot with the

north of the city; but how many of
your readers know anything about
this water? . This water is as clear as
crystal and as fine looking water ab
you ever saw, and if it fully bears out
the test for purity we " would be fool
ish to go to Canby for water. I was
present when Mr. Tooze took his
samples for testing, and you never
saw finer looking water that tasted
better. As it comes from the well u
is a fraction over 52 degrees and is
certainly cold enough to satisfy any
body. ,
Still, I am in accord with Council
man Albright, that sooner or later we
must go to south Clackamas for wa
ter. Go inside the government re
serve and we'll always have pure wa
ter and we can supply Portland when
she gets short, as she's bound to be
in a short time. It will be something
tiiat we can always be proud of here
after. We can't expect to gat this
for nothing, but it will prove a great
investment in the long run. I believe
in the city owning its own water
plant.
I likewise believe it would be wise
to buy the Jones rock-crusher and do
our own street improvement. Foil
land has just incorporated in her new
charter that "henceforth the street
improvements are to be made by the
city out of general fund." This is as
it should be; and if we are to hav3
a town of little homes, let us begin
right and not begin by confiscating
their homes by street improvements.
The present street commissioner,
C. C. Babcock, with his varied experi
ence repairing streets and sewers is
far better equipped to make any gen
eral improvement than the average
contractor. He is now rebuilding a
sewer that was built by one of thess
so-called contractors, and so the city
nas to pay for it in the long end. lz.
is paid for twice, too.
. I am glad to note that Chis. Schu
ebel advises West Linn not to over
look the fact when formulate their
new charter, and not forget to im
prove streets and make improve
ments out of general fund. There is
a feature of the present law that
works a hardship on Oregon City and
all towns, and that is allowing the
county to have 60 per cent, of our
road tax. We should try and have,
the law amended for this is a hard
place to improve streets, and we need
all our money just as bad as the coun
ty does. We have the prettiest little
town on the coast, and with a good
and bountiful water supply, and with
our charter amended as suggested,
there is jio reason why we should not
be the leading little town on the
coast as we should be.
