CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
BONDS ISSUES NO LONGER rise into values that prevent the house
houlder of the city from investing his money in city securities. All
over the country the idea has grown that municipal improvements
should be made with home capital. Bonds are now beine- sold in everv state
to the people of that state over the counters of department stores or through
some other channels where they will easily and readily reach the masses of the
people. -
That matter is to be presented to the voters at the forthcoming city elec
tion. .The people will have the chance to decide whether or not they want
their bonds issued in amounts that can be sold at home or whether they are
willing to pay an annual tribute in the shape of interest to the eastern bond
ing houses. ' .

men and women within its corporate boundaries. Its stockholders should be
as much interested in the growth and development of that enterprise as those
are who are financially connected with any other business undertaking.
It is a matter of concern to them. The way that the city's funds are
spent is of vital importance to the people within the city. It is interest to
them how the money that is raised by a bond issue is handled and what the
council does with the funds that are placed at its disposal.
All of these things are important. It is not peculiar, then, that the man
more of an interest in what the city is doing and how its affairs are being
handled than he would were there no financial reasons involved in the trans
actions. Stockholders are interested in the action of the board of directors. The
heaviest stockholders are members of that board, usually. The city council
is the board of directors of the city of Oregon City and the people are the
stockholders. Thus far they have been so in name only and have taken very
little stock in the concern of which they are a part.
The idea that the people would become more generally interested in the
welfare of the city and that they would take a more decided view of the
actions of the city council is a good one.
The vital issue, however, in the question is the way that the interest is to
be paid. The eastern bonding houses make it a point to investigate thorough
ly every issue that is sent out by the cities and counties of the country. Before
they handle matters at all, they consider every legal step that has been taken
by the authorities in placing the matter before the people. -When they ap
prove bonds, they are usually past all possibility of flaw or question of
legality. '
Keep Oregon money in Oregon City is a good slogan just at this juncture
and the best way to accomplish this is for the people themselves, to invest what
surplus money they may have to spend in securities on their own properties.
The interest that these bonds draw will then go into the pockets of home

THERE was the same indecency in woman's dress, the same indecent
dances in Eome during Nero's rule certain dances were almost
worshiped by the people and there is the SAME EXTRAOR
DINARY AND DEMORALIZING CULT IN THE UNITED
STATES TODAY. --
Among other national sins are the gross corruption of our cities, the
idle rich, the greed of employers, social injustice, anarchism and social
ism, speculations in bread and meat, the tide of divorce, the depth of in
famy into which the drama has sunk here in New York and in many
other cities, intemperance and child slavery.
These are the sins of the United States. They were the sins of Rome.
It is well enough to hold mass meetings to consider and protest against
such evils and to memorialize congress about them, but in my opinion
the greatest force of all, the leaven which shall lift the entire nation, is
personal example. .
IF EVERY ONE OF THE THIRTY MILLIONS AFFILIATED WITH
CHURCHES IN AMERICA BE AS GENUINE AS THEY PROFESS TO
BE THE FORCE OF THEIR EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE BEST ; AN
SWER TO THE SIGNAL OF DISTRESS THE "S O S" CALL WHICH
HAS COME FROM THE SHIP OF SOCIETY.
I believe that personal example, personal purity, personal honesty, are
the only forces which can deal adequately with the situation. All that
is necessary is for professed Christians to become real Christians and
the leaven of their lives wiUlift tha world. - , ,

the people of the city cannot handle successfully this issue of $12,000, 'espe

O
ANDY'S ENTERPRISE in deciding to construct a hard surfaced
highway through to the county line of Multnomah county is com
mendable in any city and much more so when it is considered that the
project is undertaken by a town with scarcely more than 300 souls.
Good roads has come to be an epidemic through all of the counties of the
state and has taken a firmer grip on most of the farmers than one would, at
first blush, imagine. They have now come to realize the loss of revenues
that are taxed against them in transportation costs and have undertaken spe
cial road taxes and made special levies to keep their roads in passable con
dition and to construct new and better highways.
Such sentiments os those shown by the people of Sandy have been ex
pressed by the farmers of many of the counties oi the state. In several of
them bond issues have already been authorized and the people at the polls
have instructed their several county courts to build better roads and to build
them of the kind of material that will last.
It is but a concrete example of the working out of the doctrine that the
Enterprise has been preaching for sometime. This paper- has never yet real
ized the value of a poor road nor could it ever figure out, as a matter of dol
lars and cents, why the county should be taxed $240,000 every yeai for its
mud.
Clackamas county mud produces record breaking crops. It also produces
wagon breaking, revenue breaking, transportation cost increasing roads. Mud
is all right in its place and it brings in the fat harvests, but it is a poor com
munity at best on a country road. The soil that produces the best -crops
usually makes the worst roads and this county is one of the best examples of
that fact that road boosters could produce in the West.
There are few highways through the county that are even passable in the
winter months and most of them have become notorious because of their bogs
and ruts in the season when a good road is worst needed. The annual tax
levy of the county amounts to $240,000. All of it is spent every year on the
county roads. No lasting impression upon the highway shows where a cent
of that money goes and what it was spent to accomplish. It seems to us that
the county could much better afford to build a certain definite number of
miles of trunk line. with a portion of that amount and get something that
would be of lasting benefit for the distance that it traveled than to spend all
of it promiscously on all of the county roads and get nothing in return.
But this county can never accomplish anything definite for better roads
until the people learn that bad roads cost money while good ones fatten the
bank account and proceed at once to authorize the county court to issue bonds
that will provide the cash for the construction of permenant hard surfaced
highways.
A road that doesn't last and that costs money to keep continually in repair
isn't worth the time that it takes to plan it. What this county, along with
every other county of the state, needs vitally, is a system of good roads of
hard surface and the only way to get it is by saving some of that $240,000
annual mud tax and putting it into a bond issue that will enable the county
court to do something worth while. .

AT WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. Miss
Jessie Wilson, second daughter of the
President ,was wedded to Francis
Bowes Sayre in the East Room of the
White House this afternoon at 4:30.
The room was a grand profusion of
flowers, many of which were present
ed by diplomats of other countries,
and were entwined with the flags of
the nations their doners represented.
Everywhere throughout the capital
a distinct holiday atmosphere pre
vailed. '
The guests of the ceremony Includ
ed beside the personal friends of the
bride and bridegroom, distinguished
officials of the government and the
members of the diplomatic corps in
their gorgeous uniforms.

There is a report that another comet

unnecessary in view of all the different

YIELDS TO HYOMEI
Do not let this serious disease ex
tend along the delicate mucous mem
brane, gradually going from the nose
to the throat .thence into the bron
chial tubes and downward into the
lungs. -
There is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that is like Hyomei or just as
good.None can take its place, none
give such quick, effective and sure re
lief and at so little cost furthermore
Huntley Bros. Co. will refund your
money if you are not satisfied.
Begin using Hyomei now today
and see how quickly the droppings
into the throat, the discharge from
the nose, sniffing and all other symp
toms of catarrh are overcome: and
remember no stomach dragging
you breathe it. The complete outfit
containing inhaler and bottle ct liquid
costs but $1.00. Extra bottles of liquid
if alter needed, 60 cents.

$10 in the price and I have come to

Grace, of Portland, walked into the

the transaction, but Grace was sure of
his statement and the money was' ac

SALTS IS RNE FOR
KIDNEYS. QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
harts or Bladder bothers Meat
forma uric acid.
man or woman who eats meat regu
y can make a mistake by flushing
1 kidneys occasionally, says a well
nvn authority. Meat forms uric acid
. hich clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
iiess, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by a sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast ior a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
nuses irritation, thus ending bladder dis
rders. ' ,
.Tad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
ney complications.
