ON TAKING Oregon City, Gladstone, PRECAUTIONS Portland and othei ctiies in this vicinity Save recenllj introduced ordinances providing for the muzzling of dogs. This action fol lows what seems to be a general epi demic of rabies, one of the most puz zling and dread diseases of the times. The sudden awakening of the civic consciousness to its peril is one bl those phenomena to which the Ameri can people are given, and is a goo-d deal like locking the stable- door af ter the horse has been stolen. How ever, as it is better late than never, i, is probably just as. well that the or dinances have been put undsr way for in future years t'aey will, in a very large measure, prevent a repiti tion of some of the tragic occur rences that have happened this year It might be well, at this time, to pause and consider other perils. There are ordinances that might be passed by all the cities of this and perhaps other sections, that would do much to improve matters of moment in con temporaneous history. It might be well, for instance, to have some legal provision made for the ever present peril of the spread of tuberculosis Other cities have found it expedient to provide sanitariums and public nurses to guard against this disease, and to assist in the cure of those who have it in but an incipient stage. Any ordinance that works towards cleanli ness also works for the prevention of tuberculosis. The proposed "market inspection ordinance," which seems to be lingering in its .advent, is such Flimsy Garments of Heat By J. M EAGER of the United LIGHTWEIGHT GARMENTS ARE NO SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM ,OF KEEPING COOL. The ideal temperature of living apartments, places of business, churches, schools, theaters, railroad, coaches and other public and private places of sojourn should never, be more than seventy degrees F. ALL ONE HAS TO DO TO AVOID THE DISCOMFORT OF BAD WEATHER INDOORS IS TO OPEN THE WINDOWS. K t It may be a bit hard on the lace curtains, but it is better to be known in the neighborhood as "soiled curtain" people and have INDOOR FRESHNESS ADVERTISED by lace streamers "flapping from yawn ing windows" than to maintain a noxious indoor climate with curtains as white as snow. ' Much of the misunderstanding about house temperature arises from "false ideas of the origin of certain diseases among which are colds. As for catching cold, persons who begin to snuffle and cough after exposure to low temperatures, even during severe winter weather, are generally those whose resistance has been reduced by LIVING UNDER THE DEPRESSING - INFLUENCE OF HIGH INDOOR TEMPERA TURE. . The modern heating and ventilating systems have made it possible to regulate atmospheric conditions within doors so that any Bort of cli mate may be enjoyed inside the house, but the theory that a strictly uni form temperature within the house is beneficial is a false one. The tem perature of house should NOT BE AS HIGH AS MAXIMUM OUT DOOR SUMMER TEMPERATURE, and sleeping rooms should have a lower temperature at night than living rooms in daytime. ... " ... t - "... MUCH OF OUR ILL HEALTH IS THE RESULT OF OVERHEATED LIVING APARTMENTS. . - Have you a good TEAM or COWS or both to trade for ACRE and 6-ROOM HOUSE, on improved street? Every, foot of the land in high state ot cultivation, including good front yard; 45 bearing- fruit teers. Good garden planted to pota toes, corn and all kinds of smalt truck. Will trade, or sell for $1850.00. If sold will accept cash, balance on monthly in stallments. Dillman & Howland a measure. Oregon City might do well to enact this into a law, so that there shall be greater cleanliness in some of its public shops, and so that there will be less danger of contamin ation in foodstuffs. If this ordinance is passed before the real warm weath er sets in there will me much sickneS3 avoided and tuberculosis will be one of the things that will be somewhat checked, even though it may not he unduly prevalent at this tme in this community. Then there is the little matter of fire protection. Portland waited un til it lost its chief of the fire depart ment before it banished oil tanksfrom the city limits. Chicago waited until its Iroquois fire b store it safeguarded its theatres. New York waited for its Slocum disaster before it threw sfaeguards about the steamers that ply its waterfront. Many Western cities are now waiting, apparently, for some holocaust, before they safeguard their citizens with rigid requirements as to fire escapes and kindred things. The great prevalence of frame build ings in the Northwest makes the fire peril an ever-prssent one. The police and health committee of the Oregon City council is doing a great work in its effort to make clean er and more sanitary the barns of this city. But it can go beyond the barn3. It can require that humanity be safe guarded in other ways, and that some of the present breeding places of dis ease germs be also abolished. As bo fore remarked, the market inspection ordinance will accomplish much. There are other . things, also that it might do. It might see that the or dinance against spitting on the side walks is enforced. This habit, per haps more than any other, is respon sible for the spread of infection; and ought to be checked. The dog muzzling ordinance, the barn ordinance and the pending mar ket inspection ordinances are excel-' lent starting places. But neither this city nor any other should wait for emergencies to arise to make the passage of such laws necessary. Time should be taken by the forelock and peril forestalled. For an ounce of pr vention is worth a pound of cure, and the time to prevent future troubles is"now. SOMEWHAT The Enterprise in this UNUSUAL issue is printing upon its first page some communications. Are Not Solution Problem States Bureau of Public Health OREGON CITY, J '-etc IF pohv KiAce- A . , - - n Usually letters written to this paper are printed in a column especially de signed for the expression of opinion upon the part of readers or others who may feel that they have some thing worth while for the public to read. In the present instance . The Enterprise gives the prominence it floes to these two letters solely through the desire to give the writer of one of them all the rope he seems to desire. "THIS IS MY 42ND BIRTHDAY"' Alfred H. Brooks. .. Alfred Hulse Brooks, who is geolo gist in chief of the United States Geo logical survey, was born in Ann Ar bor, Mich., July 18, 1871. After study ing a year in Germany he entered Harvard University and was graduat ed in 1894. He then went to Paris for postgraduate study in geology kindred branches of science. Upon his return to the United States' he be came an assistant geologist of the gelogical survey. In 1898 he was sent 10 A'.as:a, where he spent nearly ten years in an exhaustive investigation of the mineral resources of that terri tory. In 1902 he was placed in charge of the Alaskan division of the service and two years ago he was appointed by the secretary of the interior to be geologist in chief of the geological survey. Mr. Brooks is the author of several books and papers on the geo graphy and geology of Alaska and is regarded as probably the foremost authority on those subjects.

OF IN BEST OF SHAPE Excellent crops of oats and potatoes are being raised in this section of Clackamas county, according to re ports collected by Oregon City people ; who nave lately had occasion to visit some of the agricultural districts. Spring oats are doing particularly well. Winter oats, that developed fully before the late rain, are reported to be fallen to a considerable extent. Wheat is not up to its best, but ex pectations are that a good yield will be harvested. Corn is doing well, and while late in starting, gives promise of an excellent crop. Hops are doing well in most sec tions. The yield in the Mlarksburg district will be very heavy, while that in the neighborhood of Carus is also promising well.. The field to the north of Oregon City is in fair shape, but much of the crop planted has been ruined by high water from the river. Oldest Playhouse Closes PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 17. Pa trons of the theater and members of the theatrical profession everywhere will learn with regret that the famous Walnut Street Theater in this city is about to pass into history. The the ater has been refused a license for failing to comply with the new safety standard fixed by the city authorities. As compliance with the requirements would mean a complete rebulding of the theater it is likely that the house will never reopen again. It is Amer ica's oldest playhouse and was built in .1808. In Memory of Andre STOCKHOLM, July 17. Under the auspices of the Stockholm Geographi cal society memorial exercises were held today to mark the sixteenth an niversary of the ascent of the balloon which carried the explorer Andre and his intrepid campanions to destruc tion.
