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. ... "

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.

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

"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. In further observance of the an
niversary a number of floral offerings
were placed about the handsome
memorial erected here to commemor
ate the ill-fated expedition in quest of
the Ncrta Pole.

OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY
Who's to Blame? Public Asked
After Latest New Haven Wreck
Photos by American Press Association.
FEDERAL and state inquiries followed the wreck on the New fork. New
Haven and Hartford railroad at Stamford, Conn., recently, when six
persons were killed and nearly a score Injured. The top picture
gives a general view of how the big locomotive of the second section ot
the Boston to New York express plunged into the rear wooden Pullman parlor
car Skylark of the first section, which was standing still.- The engineer of t&e
second section testified at the coroner's Inquest that he was Inexperienced and
that the air brakes on the engine were faulty. Because of several wrecks on
the same road within the last two years, all near each other, the management
of the line was again under public condemnation. The lower picture show
closer view of how the engine telescoped the wooden car
