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

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.

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.

WOMEN ON THE POLICE FORCE
They Fill a Long Felt Want, Sayt Los
Angeles "Lady Cop."
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

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 EARTH QUAKES.
Stresses and Strains to Which Our
Globe Is Subjected.
'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.
