CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER
f; VITAL ANSWER Though the state board of health has been investi
1S DELAYED gating conditions in Oregon City that have been responsi
ble for the typhoid fever epidemic that has prevailed here so many weeks,
it has yet failed to make a report to the city officials that would guide thern
in the extermination of the disease or help them in any way to place the
source of that disease under control.
To the people of the city, the answer to that question is a vital matter.
They want to know what the board has found. If there is any local fault
that could be remedied, there is no reason why the city officials should be
kept in the dark and that the cloak of mystery should be placed around the
investigations of the officers of the board.
Only by a concise knowledge of the place where the fault lies and the
dissemination of that knowledge among the people of the community can
there be an absolute check placed upon the ravages of the disease. Mystery
never helps any sort of a health campaign. The only solution to a problem
of the kind that now faces the city is full and complete knowledge of the
conditions that exist here. Such information can be furnished by the of
ficers of the state board who have made extensive investigations of the
source and probable cause of the disease, and that data that has now been
collected should be placed at once in the hands of the city officials and dis
tributed by them to the people of the community.
When the state officers began their work, the city health department
ceased its study of the problem. It believed at that time that its investiga
tions would but duplicate that of the board. The only agency that now
has the information that the people want is the state of Oregon, through
its board of health. The city officials have not been consulted during the
investigation, they have not been taken into the confidence of any of the
doctors who have been sent into the city to study the cases.
Tuesday, a newsboy became the first victim of the epidemic. It is time
that something was done to stop the toll of disease. Though the people
of the community have been fortunate in losing but one out of the number
who have fallen victims to the tj'phoid bacilli, there is no excuse for further
delay in arriving at the vital reason for the contagion and in employing the
most stringent methods and measures kown to the world of science and
medicine for its extermination. Why should the board delay a report, that
means so much to a community as does the solution of this problem? The
disease may take its toll of health and even of lives unhindered unless the
state officials step in at once and tell the officers of Oregon City just where
the trouble lies and the methods that must be taken to relieve the city of the.
epidemic that now, apparently, has the upper hand.
It is incumbent on the investigators to do something. The city officials
feel that there has been enough delay. They believe that the board has had
ample time in which to study the cases that have been reported to it and
in arriving at some solution of the difficulty. There is now no reason why
that vital answer should not be received. At least, the men in charge of the
city government should know that the board has been at work here, but thus
far the only information that has been given to them has been through the
columns of the daily press.
Money in bank is the right bower and
little joker combined.

OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY
Most American Business Men Honest
By HARRY G. WHEELER. President of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States
THE indiscriminate attacks made upon business generally on the pub
lic platform and in the daily and periodical press of the country is
UNJUST.
The popular prejudice which was first roused against the railroad has
extended its line of attack to include the industrial life of the nation
and the profession of banking. Popular sentiment has it that all who
have been successful in the accumulation of wealth have become so by
predatory means and that ROTTENNESS UNDERLIES THE EN
TIRE COMMERCIAL FABRIC OF THE NATION.
As an argument for the larger governmental regulation of business,
one of the candidates in the last presidential campaign repeatedly de
clared that the business interests of the country were engaged in a
CHAOTIC STRUGGLE TO DEVOUR EACH OTHER and that all
were combined in an effort to enslave the workingman.
, For ten years this campaign of misrepresentation has been going on,
, with little or no contradiction on the part of business.
NINETY PER CENT OF BUSINESS IS HONEST. THE AMERICAN
BUSINESS MAN STANDS IN THE FOREFRONT OF THOSE WHO AO
HERE TO THE HIGHEST PRINCIPLES OF HONOR AND INTEGRITY,
BUT SINGLE HANDED HE HAS BN POWERLESS TO PRESENT A
PROPER DEFENSE. J

DRESS AND WOMAN SUF
FRAGE. To me the fashions of today
ought to convince any one that
a woman is not fit to vote. Some
women's dress is not only ex- "
treme; It is objectionable. Wo
man would do more good by cor
recting the dances In our cafes
and cabarets than In running for
office. If I were in a suffragist
state 1 would certainly cast my
vote.' because 1 would consider
that a duty. But I have always
announced that 1 was not for
suffrage. , 1 do not say that wom
en should be tied down to the
dome, but I thfiik there are many
things they might do without ac
tually breaking Into politics. Mr
.Marshall is more of a suffragist
than I am. The women in the
wist are not strongly In favor
of the ballot, and none of the
cabinet women seems to favor
it. with the exception, perhaps,
of the president's daughter. Miss

NEW FRIENDSHIPS.
The "Open Sesame" of Good Fellow
ship Is Kindness and Sympathy.
A young married woman with her
husband was about to leave the town
in which she had been born, raised
and married, to make ber home in an
other state where an excellent busi
ness opportunity had been offered to
her husband. On the eve of depar
ture she was expressing to some of
her friends ber regret at leaving, and
assuring them that never would she
find in her new home the valued and
loving friends from whom she was go
ing away Her old grandfather heard
her. and putting a hand on ber shoul
der, he said:
"My dear, when you go to your new
home take with you one thing. Show
to every one with whom you come in
contact that kindness and sympathy
which is their due. and most Important
of all, respect the rights of others, and
you will find no lack of friends and
neighbors in your new home town."
The young bride took his advice, and
Id the new town where she and her
husband make their home they find
that this policy has made them friends
by the score. In these words of wis
dom of the old grandfather lay the
key to their happiness in their new
home.
The Madonna Fichu.
Why the madonna fichu Is so called
nobody seems to know, but at any rate
it makes a satisfactory covering for
the blouse of ugly cut or evil fit, since
it conceals most of the back and front
and a goodly portion of the sleeve tops.
The madonna fichu actually is a
shoulder cape, with a deeply rounded
back reaching to the belt, and so broad
is it at the shoulders that its lower
edge terminates halfway between the
top and the elbow of the sleeves. j
The front tabs. Instead of tapering,
continue broad for their entire length
and have square ends which come flat
ly against the figure and are fastened
to some part of the frock by Invisible
hooks and eyes.
An Easy Egg Dish. .
Mix equal quantities of water and
good veal gravy, two tablespoonfuls of
each, with a teaspoonful of vinegar
and a seasoning of pepper and salt
Put the whole in a stewpan. and stir
in gradually the yolks of two well
Jeaten eggs. When it thickens, and
before it boils, have ready half a dozen
nicely poached eggs. Tour the sauce
over them, garnish with parsley and
Berve promptly.- This is an excellent
emergency dish, and only takes about
ten minutes to prepare.

DILLMAN & HOWLAND
YOUR CAUSE OR YOURSELF?
In measuring the devotion of a man
to a cause, to an ideal, to any move
ment which he believes to be right,
this is the standard:
How far is he willing to sink himself
in his cause?
If he lets the timture of self color
the Quid of his devotion, he is luke
warm; he is of those who give the
right hand and withhold with the left
The waters of work and willingness
and saci'ilice that are poured out for
whatever you believe to be right must
be crystal clear; they must now show
traces of self.
Thus it has ever been with the great,
the truly great of the earth. Above
themselves they have placed the cause
for which they toiled aud fought.
The army of the Potomac needed a
new commander, in the opinion of the
north and the military authorities in
Washington One man after another
was suggested Lincoln decided to ap
point "Fighting Joe" Hooker.
"What. Hooker!" said the friends of
the president. "Why. that man has
been going about criticising you "
And here shone out the greatness of
the soul of Lincoln:
"Hooker is a good general," he said
"He has the confidence of the people.
It makes no difference what he thinks
of me."
In appointing Hooker. Lincoln wrote
to him:
"1 have heard, in such a way as to
believe it. of your recently saying that
both the army and the government
needed a dictator. Of course it was
not for this, hut in spite of it. that I
have given you the command."
Despite his faults. Hooker was a
good general at-d a firm Onion man. In
few things was Lincoln more great
than in his power of Judging men and
their motives.
But the moral is this:
A smaller man than Lincoln would
have resented Hooker's criticism of
himself He would have placed him
self above the task then set to do, that
I of saving the Union. To replace Burn-
side, he would have appointed one of
the many other generals of the north
willing and anxious to take up the bur
den. But be thought Hooker the best man.
So he chose Hooker He placed his
country, his cause, above himself.
When you have work to do. you must
choose your tool according to the task,
not according to its difficulty of nan
dling. You must ask:
"Will it enable me to do the work?"
That is the true test
PERSEVERANCE.
We have not wings, we cannot
soar; '
But we have feet to scale and
climb
By slow decrees, by more and
more.
The cloudy summits of our
time.
The mighty pyramids of stone
That wedge-like cleave the des
ert airs. . ,
When nearer seen and better
known.
Are but gigantic flights of
stairs.
The distant mountains that up
rear Their solid - bastions to the
skies
Are crossed by pathways that
appear
As we to higher levels rise.
The heights by great men reach
ed and kept
Were not attained by sudden
flight '
But they, while their compan
ions slept
Were toiling upward tn the
night '

SUMMER BRASSIERES.
Expensive to Buy, They Are Exceed
ingly Easy and Cheap to Make.
Now that the corsetless figure is in
style and corsets are made so low in
the bust, the average woman is ob
liged to wear a brassiere, or in other
words, a sort of corset cover that is
corded or boned to fit the form.
These brassieres are quite expensive
when purchased in the shops, but they
are exceedingly easy to fashion at
home.
. Pictured are three of the very latest
effects in these waists. One of them

is made from allover strong eyelet em
broidery. It consists of nothing more
than two front pieces with boned
darts and a back portion. To conceal
the front closing wide embroidery
beading is used down the center
through which ribbon Is run. A loop
is left at the end for securing to the
corset' Ribbon is run at the top of
the brassier and forms straps over
the shoulders Another one of the
brassieres illustrated is more elaborate,
being of net with pretty ribbon orna
mentations and floral garnitures.
The third is o& embroidery allover
with insertion and lace trimmings.
RIPENED MINDS.
No man can learn what he has
not preparation for learning, how
ever near to his eyes is the subject.
Our eyes are holden that we can
not see things that stare us in the
face until the hour arrives when the
mind is ripened; then we behold
them, and the time when we saw
them not is like a drean). Ralph
