A REAL ASSET Citizens who have
FOR THE CITY observed the work
of the local fire department at two
recent blazes when the Tolpolar
warehouse and the lower Main street
block burned noted with pleasure
that the water pressure available was
of the very best. In each case mem
bers of the water commission were
prompt in getting in touch with the
pumping station and in ordering pres
sure raised, and so quickly was this
done following the sounding of the
alarm that within a few minutes after
hose was unr.seled streams strong e
nough to batter down walls were
turned upon the f!ames.
As the local department is not
equipped with power engines, it is
most necessary that there be at all
times available some means of provid
ing an emergency pressure in the
mains; and the past two fires have
shown conclusively that means are at
hand for the creation of all force that
may be necessary. The members of
the department have at all times
, shown particular skill and daring in
.tii manner in which they have at
tacked such fire as they have had to
combat, and by these methods have
saved much property. In fact, never
in the history of the city, has a fire
"gotten away" from ths fire-fighters;
though some desperate battles have
been fought with the . devouring
flames.
In all their battles, and particularly
In the last one, ths firemen have been
greatly aided by the efforts of the
men at the pumping plant, who have
seen to it that there as no lack of
pressure when pressure was needed.
This is a - fact that should be borne
in mind by all boosters for the city,
and by every citizen, in fact;, for it
means a great deal more to the pros
perity and progress of the community
than might be suspected. If it is
known that Oregon City has available
for fire protection at all times a pres
sure sufficient to enable the depart
ment to play a stream of water over
the highest building in town, not only
will investors in local enterprise feel
that their money is being safe-guarded
but " insurance rates will be lowered.
Insurance rates are based, in every
case, upon the fire risk. A .city that
has a poor fire department pays a
higher rate than a city that has a good
one. A city that is known to have
available for emergencies an ade
quate pressure, will get a better rate
than a city that may have a large fire
department but an insufficient and
unreliable water pressure. Brooklyn,
N. Y., pays a higher premium for fire
insurance than does New York city

proper, solely because th,ere is often
a dearth of water in Brooklyn, while
the huge salt water mains that trans
verse New York make available at all
timts all the water that wi'l ever be
needed.
The fact that Oregon City has such
a superb pressure available should be
noised abroad. It should be brought
to the attention of fire insurance com
panies and underwriters. It should
be include.'l in every bit of boosting
that is done by the city, the Commer
cial club or the individual citizens. It
should be kept always in mind," for
when it is realized that there is this
pressure, insurance rates that are
now unreasonably high will be low
ered. And also, when it becomes gen
erally known, new enterprise and new
industry will be attracted here, pri
marily because it' will be realized that
Oregon City is in such a positon that
it can "smother" any blaze that may
break out within its limits.
BE SURE Most of the voters of
TO VOTE Clackamas county have,
by this time, pretty thoroughly deter
mined the way in which they will
vote when they go into the booths on
Saturday.
They have heard Judge Beatie and
Commissioner Blair defend their con
duct and management of the county
affairs, and have listened to thosi
who would remove the present offi
cials from office. The issues of the
campaign have been presented in th,3
various precincts of the county, and
nearly every voter is informed as to
the position of both factions in the
campaign.
But thene are, perhaps, some who
do not feel a personal interest in the
outcome of Saturday's election, either
the one way or the other. They have
manifested some indifference through
the course of the fight that has raged
for the past few weeks. - They will
even argue that the personel of the
county court is not a matter of su
preme importance to them, nor is the
question of whether or not the pres
ent officials are recalled of any par
ticular moment in their affairs.
Saturday's election, however, means
more than the mere personel of the
Clackamas county court. It is a test
of the interest that the citzens of Ore
gon display in their public affairs,
an evidence of whether or not the re
call law is an important factor in the
administration of their public busi
ness. It is, therefore, the duty of every
qualified voter in th,3 county to regis
ter his decision in the ballot boxes of
his precinct on Saturday. The people
of the county have been sitting as a
jury for the past few weeks, and it
now becomes their duty to register
the verdict that - has been formed in
their minds after the arguments are
all and fully presented. Indifference
tn th imnnrtanpo nf this rintv ia nn
in:ury to tne county, because it re
sults in a failure to get the true senti
ment of the voting population on pub
lic matters.
The total voting strength of the
county should be registered when the
ballots are counted Saturday night.
Every voter should have expressed
his decision on the merits of the- is
sues that are involved, and the import
ance of those issues makes his .vote a
matter of public concern.

HERE'S A YOUNG-OLD MAN.
Dr. J. M. Peebles of Los Angeles is
planning to make his sixth trip around
the world in the fall of 1915. Dr. Pee
bles returned recently from bis fifth
trip.
To most folks of ninety-one a trip
around the world would be something
to think about, perhaps, but not to un
dertake. But Dr. Peebles believes
Bruily that he will make that trip two
fears from now, when he will be ninety-three.
Here's hoping nothing occurs to dis
appoint him:
When Dr. Peebles got back to New
York the other day the newspaper men
wanted to know all about his trip
abroad. In spite - of the improved
means of travel, transoceanic voyagers
of ninety-one are not yet common.
"yhat is the real secret of your vi
tality ?" he was asked.
"Just behaving myself, proper living
and always being up and doing ac
count for it" said Dr. Peebles. "1
have the will power to compel myself
to do things instead of sitting in a cor
ner talking about the bygone days.
Isn't that a fine plan for a man of
ninety-one?
Reverse the figures. It's a good plan
for the man or woman of nineteen as
well as for the person of ninety-one.
In fact, any age between nineteen
and ninety -one or on either side of
these figures will do well to "compel
itself to do things."
The doing of things that are worth
while depends on compulsion from
within, not urging from without. You
note that the doctor said. "1 compel

life on earth, due to medical discover
ies and the spread of sanitation: with
the improved methods of disseminat
ing intelligence among all classes of
people, there is very little excuse for
any one's growing old.
We can all start with Dr. Peebles on

EGG PRICES DOWN
FOWLS IN DEMAND
Though the demand for eggs is at
a standstill in the markets, the prices
for chickens are firm and the call is
good. For the past few days, the
egg demand has been weak and the
supply has been heavier than in a long
time. The cold storage men every
where are nervous over the situation
and the supplies are being withdrawn
from the icehouses with the steady
impourlng of the fresh stock. The
tone is weak and the demand dragging
with no' snap or vigor in the business.
Chickens, on the oth,er hand, havs
been in demand and the supply has
been able to care for a steadily in
creasing demand. The cantaloupe
market has been overstocked by the
inrush of the '.ocal . produce. The
