MORNING ENTERPRISE, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1913. -'
NEW POSTOFFICE
NEEDS SET FORTH
SUGGESTS REMEDY. FOR TROUBLE
, "Oregon City certainly needs new
postal accommodations" declared Paul
E. Keyser, the personal representa
tive of the department at the eleventh
ennvtfc! convention of th rural letter
carriers' association Monday.
"The quickest way to get the new
building would be for some of the
men of the city to erect one and rent
space to the government. It is a hard
task to get an appropriation hill
through congress and it is becoming
harder all bf the time. But there
is, to my mind, no question that you
need a new office."
During his stay in the city, the
local authorities and members of the
commercial club took, him through
the postoi'f ice and showed him the on
ditions under which the government
employes here are now working. He
saw the crowded quarters and was
given an opportunity to go through
the entire place.
Express Opinion.
His opinion was given to the mem
bers of the local force ofter he had
thoroughly inspected the building and
seen the conditions as they are now.
The friends of the new postoffice
movement, however, are determined to
bring the matter before the atten
tention of congress and will ask the
representatives and senators in this
state to take all of the action that
they can to get the successful report
on such a bill from the committee.
They believe' that the city needs
, a new federal building just as much
as do some of the towns much smal
ler than Oregon City and that the
time has come when congress should
toke some official action in the mat
ter. They declared Monday to the
Washington official that they had not
yet begun to fight and proposed to
carry the battle again through the
halls of congress.
The sentiment for a new federal
building is growing stronger in the
community every day and some of the
business men of the city are planning
to help in the fight for another pos
tal home.
Equal Rights in New York.
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 1. An impor
tant amendment to the civil rights'
law, enacted by the New York legisla
ture last winter with a view to aboh
ishing all race discriminations, went
into effect today. The new law ap
plies to inns, taverns, hotels, restau
rants, barber shops, theaters, and mu
sic halls. It provides that any per
son violating its provisions shall be
liable to a penalty of not less than
one hundred dollars nor more than
five hundred dollars, to be recovered
by the person aggrieved. In addition,
imprisonment of not less than thirty
nor more than sixty days may be imr
posed.
Preparing for Royal Wedding
Berlin, Sept. 1. A dispatch from
Sigmaringen says: This city is rap
idly putting on gala attire in antici
pation of the marriage of ex-King Man
uel of Portugal and Princess Augusta
Victoria of Hohenzollern on Thursday.
The erection of superb street decora
tions has begun and the parks and otl'J'
er public places are being transform
ed into luxurious gardens. The govern
ment has requisitioned the principal
hotels for visiting princes and envoys.
The old castle of Prince William, fath
er of the bride-to-be, is the scene of
the constant reception of arriving del
egates, many of them bringing elabor
ate presents.
TRAVELING ENGLISHMEN.
They're Prepared For Anything, From
Golf to Sudden Death.
The equipment of the traveling Eng
lishman is the eighth wonder of the
world. He is ready for any emergency
from golf to sudden death, I recollect
snce being in a compartment on the
Paris boat train with an English fam
ily and their luggage, and I do not
remember ever being so pleasantly en
tertained as I was on that trip. As to
the luggage, there were twenty-nine
pieces of the hand variety which it
took pater a half hour to dovetail
into the racks while the train stood
in the dingy station at Calais and an
other half hour to pry out when we
reached the dreadful Gare du Nord.
This was only a detail, however, and
I have never in my life seen a man
work harder to get a family of three
women comfoitably settled. It was in
vain that they protested against more
wraps and rugs, against smelling salts
and speckled fruit. Being a man, he
knew so much better than they what
they needed, and he gently but firmly
tad his way.
Finally he dozed off to sleep, resting
audibly from his labors. He had taken
off his great coat with its amazing
capes and pockets, and as his coat
tails became parted in his somnolent
writhings I plainly saw a good sized
holster protruding through the afore
said coattails, evidently strapped around
his portly waist
"Aha!" I said to myself, "here we
have a" mystery! My comrade is per
haps a spy en route to Germany." This
holster with its supposed brace of fire
arms fascinated me unspeakably, and
about it I built a lovely blood curdling
romance as we sped on through the
monotonous French country. Finally
my neighbor awoke, rosy and refresh
ed, and upon one of his daughters ask
ing him some question about Paris he
unbuckled the bolster, took it off and,
while I watched with bulging eyes,
opened it and calmly extracted a
guide book. What else that deceiving
case may have contained I have no
means of knowing perhaps caviare
sandwiches or a bottle of Scotch. De
lineator. Nothing Like Knowing Why.
The sweet young thing was being
shown through the Baldwin locomo
tive works. .
"What is that thing?"- she asked,
pointing with her dainty parasoL
."That," answered the guide, "is an
engine boiler."
Sbe was an up to date young lady
and at once became interested. "And
why do they boil engines?' she in
quired again.
"To make the engine tender," politely
replied the resourceful guide. Penn

THE CARRIERS' STORY
Once when I was a younger
man,
Now fifteen -years ago, 4
I joined the city carrier force $
And hoped with it to grow. 3
'Twas then a pretty decent job 8
Demerits were not known . $
And if you acted decently
With ease you'd hold your own. $
But our benign superiors &
Thought we had too much ease,
And they applied demerit screws
And gave us many a squeeze.
I tramped the streets, I packed 8
the sack 3
Till blistered, sore, and lame; $
Then when I could not walk so $
fast,
They held me up to shame. 3
Demerits soon began to come; S
I was too dreadful slow, $
I soon would have my pay re
duced Or from the service go. t
Up Stairs, down stairs $
Six hundred times a day, $
And then they tell you all the $
time $
You do not earn your pay! 3
I read the signs, I took the tip
And took a rural route; $
No blisters bother now my $
feet, 8
Demerits are cut out.
Of course ( my pay is not so
high, ' S
Still, I feel now no remorse, 3
That I left the bats of burden
And joined the rural force. 8

Grandfather's Portrait.
A villager, intensely conceited and
ignorant, but quite wealthy, was per
suaded to have his grandfather's pic
ture repainted.
The artist, not having been decently
treated by the villager, drew the por
trait almost in a nude form. Rolling
it up, be told the man not to look at
It before the coming New Year's. On
that day the villager ordered the pic
ture to be hung up that he might pay
it his New Year's respects. As it was
being unrolled he frantically waved
his hands and shouted: "Wait! Wait!
The old gentleman is not ready, for he
is not yet dressed." From the Chi
nese. Cruel.
"I'm developing quite a passion for
motoring," said Miss Hoamley. "1
wonder if It's harmful."
"Quite the contrary," replied Miss
Cutting.- "I should think it would be
very becoming to you."
"How do you mean becoming?"
"Well, you know, dear, you can wear
a mask while motoring." St Louis

ATHLETICS AND
GIANTS MAY tEET
Looks as If Two Teams Will
Clash In World Series.
MAGKMEN OUTCLASS RIVALS
Philadelphia Has Better Infield, Out
field, Batters and Base Runners.
Giants Have Stronger Pitching Staff.
Mack Using Clever Methods.
By TOMMY CLARK.
When the Giants and the Athletics
come together in the world's series
this fall (how's that for predicting it?)
one can hardly have good reasons to
back the Giants' end of the argument
The team is outclassed by the Mack
nien in every department but pitch
ing. The Athletics have a better in
field, outer garden and catching de
partment than the New Yorkers. They
also are heavier hitters, better base
runners and fielders than MeGraw's
outfit
New York is well fixed for twlrlers.
Mathewsou. Marquard, Tesreau. Dem
aree. IToinmo, Wiltse and Crandall
are all in better shape than any in
the league and capable of twirling
good ball.
The Athletics' pitchiug has not been
the best all season. The Mackmen
have won the great majority of their
games by main strength of swatting.
Mack has such offensive strength
that he can worry along in pitching
relays and keep well in front playing
a game a day.
Mack has handled his pitchers in
clever style all. season and has resort
ed to all kinds of tricks. Here is one
he pulled off on Washington recently:
Before a recent game Mack had
Bender and Plank warming up before
the players' bench, indicating that one
or the other would pitch. In the mean
time, Joe Bush was behind the grand
stand loosening up his arm. The
Bender-Plank display was for the pur
pose of drawing Johnson out of
Griffith, and it succeeded, but as soon
as Johnson had been announced. Mack
switched to Bush, not wanting to take
a chance., of having one of his two
stars beaten by Johnson, reserving
them for an easier game, thus making
their games certain victories, is the
way he figured.
As it happened. Bush won his game,
and, though Bender had to be used at
the finish, it left him (Mack) Plank and
Bender to be used in the remaining
games.
Mack has made remarkable improve
ment in the work of his young pitch
ers. None of them are stars, but he
has taught them enough to have them
formidable for five or six innings any
way, and in that way he is able to
win games, for. he can let one of his
veterans finish the games during the
closing innings without affecting their
regular turns.
t Hints For the Housewife.
, Always screen all foods and do not
unnecessarily expose your dishes.
When cooling newly baked bread
cover it slightly with a clean cloth.
If the top of the stove Is crowded
the oven can be utilized for cooking
vegetables which are usually cooked
on top. Place the vegetables in cov
ered agate pans.
It is best to heat the plates before
putting bot pies on them when first
taken out of the oven. If hot pies are
put on cold plates they sweat, making
the under crust soggy.
If you want to bake potatoes quick
ly clean them and pour boiling water
over them. Let them stand" on the
stove for five or ten minutes, then put
tbem in the oven to bake.
Instead of melting butter when you
want to mix it with sugar, place the
butter in a double boiler and allow it
to get warm. It will then beat up very
easily with .the sugar and will not
cause the cake to be heavy.

you object to my paying her atten

lot easier than paying her bills." Bos

THIS actual picture of one of the most daring feats in the Uistory of
aviation records Oscar Bider's wonderful flight across the Bernese
Alps. The plucky Swiss air man flew from Berne, Switzerland, across
v. the great range of snow capped peaks to Milan, Italy. The photograph
was taken as the mountain flier passed over Jungfrau Jock, which is 12,000
feet above sea level. The watchers saw the death defying 'aviator soar away
between innumerable peaks over Europe's greatest glacier, the Aletsch, like
some human bird of prey. His flight was a complete success.

"How does he know what time to go
home?" asked a stranger In the club
one night. ,
"It's this way," explained a member.

If he falls down them he knows It's
time to go home." Popular Magazine.

While wispy, gray, faded hair Is
