ing been houssd at night and then
turned out to beg food from citizens
in the morning in a single month.
This is a problem that requires solu
tion; and while many of these men
are victims of conditions that ought
, to be remedied and would be willing
to earn their bread by labor, there
are those who require lodgings habiw
ally dasiring to beg or demand food
and clothing rather than- work for it.
who if given a sentence to break rock
would eitfier work for subsistence or
give Oregon City a wide berth.
There are a'so persons sentenced
for such crimss as refusal to support
or for cruelty to family. They would
be benefitted with many other violat-
. ors of the law by honest toil while
the municipality looks after the wants
of those dependent upon tftem.
For the purpose of security and
eocnomy of supervision, a stockade
should be built for such operations.
' Nothing in this plan should be per
mitted, however, to substitute for the
labor of free citizens, who would ol
fer to operate the crusher.
We believe that financially the em
ployment mentioned, sxtended to
cleaning of street gutters, etc., would
result in only a small net gain; biit
as the solution for a civic and socia'
problem it should be tried.
The necessity of, in the near future,
constructing a reservoir for the exten
sion and bettermant of the city's wa
ter service has already been express
ed by the board of watr commission
ers. When this shall be dona U is
obvious that the rock-crushing opra-
Liutis iuc pi cociib oilc LLiaj oii-
OUSly interferred with. In fact, the
commision now reports that tilers
should be very little if any, more rock
taken from the present quarry bed.
This will then necessitate soon the lo
cating of a different quarry bed or the
removal of the planfc to another site.
Summarizing:
(1) We believe the city should
control a rock crusher plant; should
operate the same in connection with
street improvement and maintenance
and that for this purpose the city
should own team, dump wagon and
street sweeper; that the city should
work its prisoners on the crusher and
streets.
The committee believes the city
should exercise the same prudence in
this matter of purchase as should
CRUSHER THREE
characterize the actions of an indi
vidual and it must consider the wis
dom of purchasing this plant at this
time with little or no assurance of its
permanency of rock crushing. The
rights of the lessee we are' informed
are only reserved rights, and can op
erate no longer than permitted by the
commission. The city can exercise
no direct control over the acts or or
ders of the present commissioners.
Its recourse lies only in the legal
right to remove them and appoint otb
ers whom it believes would assist
in its desire in this matter. The les
see, however, maintains he has prior
rights. .
The committee recommends in view
of the foregoing considerations that
the city -Instruct the city attorney to
ascertain at once the legal rights of
both lessor and lessee and report the
same to this council at a special meet
ing to be called by the mayor next
Monday night at which time the com
mittee will recommend definitely.
No meeting called for Monday, the
11th.
Wednesday, August, 13, 1913. We
your committee, having been advis
ed by the city attorney that the wa
ter commissioners have the right to
at any time re-locate the site for the
said crusher on the land purchased
by them for reservoir purposes, a
having taken all other conditions
known to it into consideration, do
recommend thatin view of the pre
ceeding and in view of several other
Wujects affecting the finance and
progress of the city an effort be at
once made to lease a crusher terms
to obtained to report same promptly
to the council.

TWO SAMPLES SHOW
WATER TO BE PURE
Two samples of Oregon City water,
one from the well of George A. Hard
ing and the other from the hydrant in
his yard, have been examined by the
state board of health and have been
found pure.
In the water taken from the well
were found 300 organisms to the cub
ic centimeter while in that from the
hydant the board found but five organ
isms to the same amount of water.
The life that was found in the water
was not dangerous and did not show
signs of a single . disease conveying
germ. In all water organisms are to
be found, according to the doctors,
but the difference between the num
ber in the two samples is accounted
for by the fact that the city water
passes through a fine filter and that
most of them are taken out before
they reach the hydrant of the consumer.
Did you ever try to guess whose
nose belonged to who? It is very fun
ny, and this is the way to do it: Hang
a cloth in front of a doorway and
place one-half of the boys and girls In
each room, only one of which is light
ed. Cut a V shaped hole in' the cloth
Rod let those In the dark room place
their noses through it, one by one,
while those in the light room ffuess
whose nose it is. When a right guess
is made the owner of the nose must

newspaper men following the Giants
while the New York club was in Bos
ton a short time ago.
McGraw first saw McDonald a couple
of years, ago at Marlin, the training
ground of the Giants, when the third
baseman nnd another member of the
Dallas team named Tbebo Joined the
Giants to get into physical condition
for the Texas league season. McGraw
had three ball clubs playing exhibition
games In Texas that season, and be
used McDonald and Tbebo on one
team.- He had no permanent place for
McDonald himself, but bis strong rec
ommendation of the youngster to Herr
mann indicated that McDonald bad
made a good impression on him.
McDonald seems to be another Heine
Zimmerman In - point of hitting. In
1911. with the Dallas club, be hit .324
in 144 games, although he displayed no
unusual slugging ability with Cincin
nati last season.

best Catarrh Specialists in America
and Europe to destroy Catarrh germ a.

bottles, If the first does not entirely
cure, can be obtained for 50 cents,
and money back from Huntley Bros.
Co. if you are dissatisfied.
Just breathe it no stomach dosing.

How to Massage.
The first point to bear in mind is the
proper movements. These are light
friction, delicate kneading, tapping
and finally the rotary movement
' To massage the neck the fingers
should be placed at the back of the
neck and the thumbs to front; then
the thumbs should work gently up and
down the veins in front
For facial massage the first move
ment consists of light upward strokes
to stimulate the circulation. The work
should start at chin and proceed to the
temples. The gentle friction should
be produced ail over the face, and the
touch should be firm. Care should be
taken not to crease the skin at the
corner of the eyes, as this is apt to
cause tiny wrinkles; also be careful
not to pull the flesh.
Knead gently to relieve the sagging
of the muscle, which runs from the
mouth to the eyes, and it will be found
a vibrating movement of the arm will
help to stimulate circulation when the
fingers are pressed into the skin. Fin
ish with a rotary -motion around the
eyes and temples, ' using the middle
fingers with a gentle vibrating motion.
In twenty minutes or half an hour
cold compresses and an astringent lo
tion should be applied to tighten flabi
ncss and erase the wrinkles.

Is a treasure to you and me.
