CITY OFFICIAL DO WOMEN SCORN After a forty-year struggle to carry Oregon for THEIR VICTORY? women's suffrage, the hard-won privilege is appar ently scorned by nine of every ten of the state's female voters. November 4 will be the first date on which women may vote in Oregon upon state measures. Scarcely ten per cent of them have registered. Un less the remaining ninety percent do so this week, their newly acquired fran chise will be lost so far as this election is concerned. October 20 has been healded widely as "the last day to register." It isn't, however. October 20 will be too late. October 19, even, will be too late, for that day is Sunday. The registration books will be closed at five o'clock on Saturday of this week, October 18. If the woman voter lives in a county seat, she should register at the of fice of the county clerk ; if at a distance from the county seat, there probably is a deputized registration clerk in the vicinity. Duringthe next few days a rush of women to the registration clerks is in prospect. Hundreds of them will be wives of laboring men who want the compensation act to stand because it will provide a certain income for them if husbands are killed or hurt in industry. Hundreds of others are expected to register to stop the cry that Oregon women do not want the franchise. Others want to take a stand upon the sterilization bill. More numerous than any will be those who wish to vote upon the university issue. Without registration prior to five o'clock next Saturday, however, no vote upon any measure from any motive will be possible for women without the tedious process of being sworn in. COUNTY LIBRARY When the Associated Societies of Something-or-TAX LEVY Other offered a $10.00 prize for the best essay on the life of .celebrated alderman of Hackensack, to be written by a school child in Clack amas county, little Susie, who lives in Oregon City, read about it and so did little Johnnie out near Molalla. Then Susie telephoned to the Oregon City library and asked the librarian for reference books which would give her all the data, and by the next day her essay well started. Little Johnnie borrowed a neighbor's dictionary and hunted up the almanac, and from one learned how to pronounce the alderman's name and from the other when and where he was born. For the remainder of his essay Johnnie had to depend on some things the teacher told him winter before last. Little Johnnie worked heap harder and showed more talent and thought, but Susie had all the dates and events, and her essay won the prize. When the bill for a county library comes up at the November election, everybody who believes in giving little Johnnie a square deal is going to vote for that 3-10 of a mill tax which will bring reference books and all other kinds of good books within the reach of every ambitious child in Clack amas county. This will not average more than 45 cents a year to a taxpayer. The idea is to divide the county info districts which will be most conven ient, and place in each locality say, 500 volumes in charge of some organiza tion the different women's clubs or school societies. This can be success fully worked out, as in every community where are a number of public spirited people who will be glad to give a little of their time to such a worthy undertaking. Those desiring books, who are not within convenient reach of a branch library, can take books from the main library, returning them by parcels post and writing or telephoning for the new book they may wish. With rural delivery the exchange of books is a simple matter in even the most isolated parts of the county. Or, if special information is needed, any patron can telephone to the main library and can hold the line while it is being looked up, or write for the references they require. - All the large corporations of the county consider that whatever helps the individual, helps the county, and they are willing to spend 3-10 of a mill tax to bring expensive reference books, as well as other interesting reading Make Our Country Life Interesting By A.

' FACTS AND FIGURES Are you interested in pure water for Oregon ON WATER SUPPLIES City? If so, the following facts and figures will give food for thought. Bull Run supply guaranteed 1,500,000 gallons every 24 hours for 10 years according to crews' reports would cost $38,000.00 per year rental alone, plus interest and depreciation on pipe line in addition to the cost of delivery, and interest on the present indebtedness, making the cost per month to the consumer somewhere about $7.60 as against $1.25 per month at pres ent. ' For example: Rental per year . $38,000.00 5 percent interest on pipe line, $300,000. 15,000.00 10 per. cent depreciation, as contract is only of 10 t years standing : 30,000.00 Interest on present indebtedness, $84,000, at 5 per cent per annum '. 4,200.00 Operation expense, estimated 4,000.00 Total per year $91,200.00 Average per month $ 7,600.00 1000 water takers average per month $ 7.60 Now, to show the difference for the supply from south fork of the Clackamas, compare the above with the following : Cost, say $150,000.001 ,500,000 gallons, permanent supply Interest per annum at 5 per cent $ 7,500.00 40-year bonds sinking fund at 2 l-2 3,750.00 Operation, estimated 4,000.00 Interest on old.debt 1 4,200.00 Total $19,450.00 1000 water takers average $ 1,945.00 But in this latter case Oregon City can sell the difference between its re quirements, 1,500,000 gallons and the capacity of an 18-inch, pipe, 2,500,000 gallons or 1,000,000 gallons per 24 hours, thus reducing the cost to the con sumer, present debt included, to about the present average cost to consumer.

The Bank of Oregon City OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY iart to Heart Talks By CHARLES N. LURIE THEY WANT TO BE BRAKES. Every one wh6 knows anything about the world knows that it moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun. The path of the world has been calculated with nice exactitude by the astrono mers. Of course way, way back in the mental woods there are folks who are so far behind that they still think the sun revolves around the earth. But they do not count Neither do those who think that the world moves, but that its progress is in a straight line forward, and that they can retard it by' getting in the way. . If you are one of these, step aside, lest the world run over you. Of such is the man in a southern state who would not pay his share of the increased taxes demanded by his county for a new schoolhouse. He went in the night and applied the torch to the building. Foolish man! -The -school will be rebuilt, despite his opposition, and the children of his county will have the benefit of newer and better quarters in which to study. Once there was a governor of Vir ginia in the old colonial days who said, referring to the colony: "Thank God, there are no free schools nor printing presses, and I hope there will be none for a hundred years, for learning has brought disobedience and heresy and sects into the world, and printing has divulged these and other libels." He was a rare old fossil, wasn't he? The world moved on and past him. even in his own day, for the plant ers of Virginia resented his bigoted, narrow minded views and had the king recall him. Even in that day, when the light of learning had not shed its rays Very far, he was too far out in the darkness for his fellow Virginians. It is encouraging to observe that his latter day follower, the southern man who burned the schoolhouse, is one of a verv small minority, in his own con- immiry. ana prompt jamng ronoweu his deed. The opponents of "book learning." once common, are now scarce. Even those who themselves have derived lit tle or no benefit from the teachings of the ages, crystallized in books, admit that for others the written word has merits. But there are other directions in which the mind of the nonprogressive man moves. He will not see or admit the merit of new trends of thought, he will not move his lumbering mental wagon from the ruts in the road. And the automobile of progress pass es him and leaves him hopelessly in the rear. ROADS IN WISCONSIN. State Highway Appropriation Is Lar ger Than Ever.

The arrival of the woman police officer is a striking commentary upon the changed conditions of our day, says Mrs. Alice S. Wells, a member of the Los Angeles police force. Out of the many which might be named two generally inclusive reasons for the woman police officer center our attention: First. The police department is the great peace army. Its province is to keep the peace and to prevent crime through maintaining law and order. During the last twenty-five years an active spirit of prevention has mani fested itself in every line of human activity, a spirit based, no doubt upon the deepest promptings the quicken ing sense of brotherhood, of mutual re sponsibility, and the very self preser vation of the race under our Increasing 1 t J. V "5 F- JfearfeS f 1 5 If :aafd X7'f ST" V Photo ujf American Pi esu Association. CHICAGO POLICEWOMAN IN UNIFORM. social complications. The woman offi cer is an emphasis upon the prevention spirit of police work. Second. Today men, women and children face together industrial vicis situdes and socially commingle. There fore it now requires the best that both men and women can give, th the police department as elsewhere, to adequately meet the needs and properly handle men. women and children. So, then, the woman's work concerns itself most ly with women and children. Coming naturally under the domain of the woman officer are the places -of amusement where the young gather dauce halls, skating rinks, picture shows, penny arcades, amusement parks, etc. ' Wheneyer it is necessary to make an arrest the woman officer can make it and carry the case through the court just as her brother officer would. The proprietors are property owners, have Interests at stake, and there would beno gain by resisting or refusing to appear upon summons. CHANGE. Today is not yesterday. We ourselves change. How can our works and thoughts, if they are to be always the fittest, continue al ways the tame? Change indeed is painful, yet ever needful, and. if memory has its force and worth, so also has hope.

'When the stairs creak mid the furni ture jrives Mut mysterious crackling sounds at night we sometimes sit up in bed and wonder if there is a burglar about, but it doesn't occur to us that what we hear is really an earthquake on a small scale. The night air has caused the wood to contract with a SMp. thus accounting for the alarming sounds. This is just exactly what the earth Is doing periodically. To a mi crobe, reposing ou the polished sur face of the table, this disturbance is probably as violent as an earthquake is to a human being. Au earthquake Is a terrible thing. It comes without warning. It is over be fore one knows which way to fly. and its fury can be abated by no man. Yet to the geologist earthquakes are only symptoms. They are not causes so much as results results of great stresses and strains within the earth that cause slippings and slidings from time to time. If the rocks on the shell of the earth slip and grate against each-other so much as an inch along a fissure ten miles in length a shiver is felt. A slip of fifteen feet along a course of 200 miles sufficed to bring about the terrible San Francisco earth quake'and fire. These strains aud stresses accumulate steadily within the earth. The point at which they have once found relief is weaker to .resist the next strain. It slips again presently. By successive movements its sides become more and more displaced. Itock layers, mineral veins, coal seams that cross the line of displacement, are Jogged out of their course So are roads, fence lines and brooks that run across it on the sur face. In the San Francisco quake one man's front yard was moved twenty feet to one side of his bouse, and in another place the slip line came so close to a man's barn that some piles of straw, thrown out from the win dows, were carried away. In Japan a cliff twelve feet high interrupted a road way, and thousands of similar cases might be cited These were primary movements along the line of the dis turbance that caused the earthquakes.
