with other libraries, the great major
ity of book-borrowers seek fiction
"because it helps to pass away the
time." Fiction is a most desirable
thing in its place. It is recreation
for the mind, a spur to the imagina
tion, and oftentimes an impetus to a
better life. But fiction, in spite of
all that, is at best about as useful as
..real brain nourishment as pineapple
sherbet is useful as bodily nourish
ment. With a library equipped as is the
one in Oregon City, its patrons should
be able to take up a course of read
ing that will do something more than
pass away the time. Every book-borrowed
should provide for himself
or herself a course of reading that
will broaden the mind and increase
the individual store of knowledge.
Such a course need not necessarily
be a drudgery, nor is it at all neces
sary that it should not be entertain
ing and include in its realm a plenti-
JLIU oujjji., J
trouble with most "reading courses"
is that they are too hide-bound, and
do not give leeway for personal likes
or dislikes.
This may be readily overcome by
the individual reader. One can find
books to suit all tastes, and often a
consultation with the librarian will
open up new fields that a thousand
tim.es mora attractive than the old
ones. Let the average reader take
any book of fiction, and after reading
it recall the most interesting part.
Place No Restriction on Wealth
Honestly Acquired
By JOHN HAYS HAMMOND,
Engineer
OF ALL STANDARDS BY WHICH SUCCESS IS
MEASURED NONE IS SO MERETRICIOUS AS
THAT OF WEALTH, AND YET I DO NOT AGREE
THAT A NARROW LIMIT SHOULD BE IMPOSED AS
TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY A MAN SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO ACQUIRE BY HONEST EFFORT ANDCopyright by Harris
FRUGALITY. & Ewing.
I should say that in contradistinction to the question "How much
have you?" in determining the limit of a man's wealth, we should ask
the questions, first, "HOW DID YOU GET IT?" and, second,,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH IT?"
One of the greatest handicaps that some young men have in the "out
set of their career is the possession of an income which will relieve them
of the necessity of independently earning their own livelihood. This
EEMOVES A GREAT INCENTIVE FOR ENDEAVOR and is a de
cided disadvantage. . .
For that reason I have always had a considerable svmpathy for the
sons of rich men. They are SERIOUSLY HANDICAPPED IN LIFE
unless they are young men of exceptionally high character and imbued
with lofty aspirations.
The selfish millionaire who did not meet his obligations to alleviate
the distress and promote the welfare of the community is to be con
demned. Such men engendered the SPIRIT OF DISCONTENT AND
UNREST which unfortunately prevail so extensively today. - Those who
do not do their share of civic duty should be STIGMATIZED AS REC
REANTS and subjected to social ostracism. -

This section will deal with some con
crete subject adventure, science,
history, or what not. Let the reader
then go to tao librarian and ask for
some book- dealing with this general
subject; and on receiving such a
boo!;, he or she will probably find in
it some specific section that will sug
gest yet another line of interest. Thus
one line may be followed out, or one
line may lead to others, and at the
same time the reader's interest main
tained. For instance: suppose the reader of
fiction has just completed Cutcliffe
Hyne's "The Lost Continent." This
fanciful tale of the mythical continent
of Atlantis contains within itself suf
ficient sugestions of interest to pro
vide reading for the average person '
for years. Supposing the reader is
impressed by the meagre description
of the galleys "propelled by the sun."
Immediately the whole field of hydro
statics, or of marine architecture, or
of oceanic history is opened up. If
the reader is interested in these
things the librarian will gladly give
a list of books upon the subjects'
Or, using the same examples, it
may be that the reader will be struck
by the description of the engines of
war used in the mythical days in
which the story is set, Such matteT
leads naturally to further reading up
on the art of defense and offense, to
study of the forces of mechanics, to
tactics, strategy, philosophy , psych
ology or a score of other things, de
pending solely upon the bent of the
reader's personality. Inquiry at the
library will lead to the discovery of
books just, as entertaining as fiction,
that will tell more of these subjects.
Wien one reads in this way, one
gains more than mere amusement.
One gains a subconscious education,
an ability to grasp broader questions,
and to see the myriad alliances in
this world between subjects of per
haps widely different natures. One
not only reads, but one understands;
and through understanding will come
a realization of the causes of modern
day problems, and so will come a bet
ter citizenship. Reading may be
mnde a great aid, a great comfort,
and at the same time a great pass
time, to any of us who will take the
trouble to read logically upon ques
tions that are interesting to the in
dividual no matter in what .orm
they may first be encountered.

OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 24,
There is nothing wrong with read
ing fiction. The only wrong, if wrong
there be, lies in stopping at fiction.
Fiction is a stepping stone to reality,
just as the fairy stories of childhood
are the stepping stonss to later stud
ies and to the comprehension of basic
philosophy. The bad witch and the
good fairy are but personifications of
right and wrong; and forming an ac
quaintance with them simplifies t'.ie
latter appreciation oE questions of
ethics. '
THE TIME TO It being a well as
DO IT NOW sured certainty that
there will be a recall e'ection August
16, there is one duty that devolves
upon every true citizen of Clackamas,
county, and that is to register. Under
the general election laws, which must
be followed in the absence of specific
laws upon recall elections, County
Clerk Mulvey will close the registra
tion books fifteen days bofer the date
of the recall election. In other words
there will be no opportunity to regis
ter after the close of this present
month. It therefore behooves every
real citizen to see to it that he is
registered before the end of July, so
that he may go to the polls on the day
of the recall ballotting and vote up
on the question as seems best to him.
To facilitate registration the county
c'erk has appointed deputies in prac
tically every precinct in the' county,
and citizens who cannot come to Ore
gon City should see that their names
are entered with the duly . qualified
registrars. Only by registering will
it he possible for citizens to have the
right, to vote; and every citizen, no
matter what his personal opinion may
be, will want to express that opinion
at the polls on the day of the recall
election.
Women are entitled to vote at this
election, the equal suffrage amend
ment being in force. But women can
not vote unless they register. The
"new citizens" should remember this,
and should lose no time in register
ing so that they can utilize the sacred
right of franchise that has been given
them. Facilities for registration are
available every business day, and the
best time to register isNOW.
Do it today. Do it just as soon as
the matter is called to your atten
tion. Registering is onl- a matter of
some ten minutes time all told, and
it is better to spare that time now
than to regret when, it is too late. Be
a good citizen. Register. Do "it
NOW. Don't wait until the last min
ute, but do it NOW.

belt of that state. If the state does not redeem them and their hun

of Illiterate, imbecilic, degenerate person's that their elders now are. It's piti

A CHAIN OF FAME.
The Barrier Washington Erected
Across the Hudson.
ARNOLD REMOVED ONE LINK.
Still the Monster Cable, In Spite of the
Traitor's Act, Served Its Purpose and
Blocked the Progress of the British
Ships Up the River.
Somewhere in the bed of the Hudson
river just off of West Point lies buried
the larger part of a great iron chain.
one of several ordered Dy tienerai
Washington during the Revolution to
be constructed to prevent the enemy
from ascending certain rivers to ac
complish strategic points of vantage.
The British were making strenuous
efforts to get hold of- the Hudson in
order to Keep free communication with
Canada by the additional channels of
the St. Lawrence and Lake Chainplain.
and so it was determined to obstruct
the Hudson by a great chain crossing
from Fort Montgomery to Anthony's
Nose.
But this was a failure. The chain
parted within a week after it had been
stretched, and. although subsequently-
raised and again placed, it was de
stroyed by the British. . -'
Finally Washington decided to forge
another and obstruct the river between
West Point and Constitution island, for
here there was an abrupt ehange of
eoursei and a heavy tide reduced the
speed of any ship encountering It Be
sides, the channel was 300 feet narrow
er at this crossing.
The forging of a chain such as was
contemplated was then no small under
taking. Requests were secretly sent
to various iron companies, and among
the bids the most favorable came from
the' Sterling Iron works, situated in
one of the most beautiful gions of
the east, now within the fashionable
domains of Tuxedo Park.
It was originally organized by Lord
Sterling in 1751, a well known officer
In the Revolutionary army,- and con
tinued in operation for more than a
hundred years, meanwhile passing Into
the possession of Abel Noble, who
married a niece of Peter Townsend
and who now in association wittr the
latter increased the capacity of the
works which eventually came Into the
entire possession of Peter Townsend,
a patriot and filled with the spirit of
.tbe'tiuie.
He finally obtained a few Welsh min
ers from Pennsylvania for thn heaw
1913.

handling in the rorging ana a nuinoei
of men from Connecticut with their
ox teams to do the hauling, and when
the chain was ready it was drawn
over the rough mountaiuous roads and
through forests that had to be pur
posely cut in many places and so on
to New Windsor, the nearest river
point, and towed to West Point
It was a strenuous undertaking from
the very start. Each link weighed 300
pounds, was two feet in length and
two and a quarter inches square, and
each 100 feet was secured by a swivel,
a twisting link, and at every thousand
feet there was a clevis. The whole
of this weighed 185 tons. When it
was stretched across from West Point
to Constitution island it was buoyed
up ' by large sixteen foot logs, and
these were in turn held in place by
the anchors. i
The British made no specific attack
on this then Invincible obstacle, for it
must be" remembered that in those
days there was no dynamite nor tor
pedoes, and none of the enemy's prows
would have pushed their way through
such a barrier.
Although the British did not succeed
in passing the big Hudson, river chain,
the American traitor Arnold gave it
his particular attention and removed
a link of it under the pretense of hav
ing it repaired for weakness at a near
by smithy. He wrote to Major Andre
that it would not be replaced until the
forts were surrendered to the British.
But somehow the chain stood for its
purpose, and Sir Henry Clinton did
not attempt to relieve Burgoyne.
Parts of this celebrated chain are to
be seen among various historical cu
rios of prominent societies. A number
of years ago Mayor Hewitt .of New
York, then the owner of a mine near
the Sterling properties, became inter
ested in finding out the whereabouts of
the remaining portions of the chain. A
large part of it lies at the bottom of
the river, about thirty tons were m
various possessions, and at West Point
there are thirteen links, and a staple
placed near the spot where the chain
was anchored and a. plate tells of the
date and place of forging. Boston
