Henry O'Malley Monday received
notice of his appointment as field su-,
perlntendent of the United States Bu-'
rean of Fisheries and has been placed
in charge of all the fish cultural work
of the bureau for the entire Pacific
coast, embracing the water of Oregon,
Washington, California and Alaska.
He expects to maintain his head
quarters at Oregon City for the pres
ent .though later It may be necessary

portance of the Puget Sound work and
the extent tf the Alaskan field. Mr.

Mr. O'Malley came to Oregon City
January 1, 1907, having been trans
ferred from the position of superin
tendent of the Baker Lake, Wash ,
station, which he, in four years, had
built from a small plant to one of the
most important and best equipped
hatcheries on the coast. His success
at 1hat station decided his transfer t
the Clackamas station, where, under
his direction, the egg take has steadily
increased until this year when a grani
total of over 53,000,000 salmon and
trout eggs were secured and nearly
3,000,000 shad eggs.
The Clackamas field includes the
Big White Salmon river and the Lit

HAS GREAT AMBITIONS TO BUILD
REST PLACES FOR ITS
CHILDREN "
TO SPRING A BEAUTIFUL SCHEME
Charming, Restful Parks and Heavily
Planted Streets With Other
Attractive Features Are '
To be Included
With an eye to the future, the peo
ple of West Linn have started to plan
for public parks although the charter
of the new city has not yet ' been
adopted and the town has had a gov
ernment of its own for only a few
months...
It is planned to secure blocks and
tracks now while, the land is cheap
and develope them as the city grows.
It is thought that asystem of park
blocks and boulevards would add
greatly' to the attractiveness of the
city. k '
' Beautiful View.
West Linn has naturally a beautiful
view of the Willamette river, the low
lands of the east side, and the foot
hills which gradually rise - into the
mountains of the coast range. On a
clear day several snow cap mountains
can be seen.
With, such scenic advtanages, com
bined -with the almost ideal lay of the
land, it is thought that parks can be
made which will rival any in this sec
tion of the state. ..-
One Central Park.

It is probable that there will be a
large central park and. that, scattered
through the city, there will be a nun
ber of park blocks. With these parks
established, a system of boulevards
will be built to connect them. They
will be laid out in such a way so as to
bring out the all scenic advantages
that are possible of the hill.
The hill side is rocky and it would
probably be difficult to level the park
sites and to cover the surface - with
soil. Many favor the plan of leaving
the rocks in their natural condition.
They hold that this would greatly 'en
chance the beauty of the park and at
the same time would be much cheap-

Oregon City is in the grip of an epi
demic of pneumonia, probably the
worst In the history of the city, ac
cording to the opinion - of - various
physicians and County Health Offi
cer Van Brakle.
In every part of the city cases ar:
reported. . Doctors are kept busy an
swering calls. New cases are report
ed every day and the number in
creases every twenty-four hours.
One doctor alone has over ten cases
in and around this city. It would be
almost Impossible to correctly esti
mate the number of persons ill with
pneumonia in Oregon City but it is
certain that the number would be
large. ,
Pneumonia, in many cases, is the
outgrowth of the "grip." Combined
with the condition of the weather, it
is probably largely responsible for the
number of cases.
No decisive step has been taken by
either the county health officer or
by the individual doctors as pneu
monia is not contagous-"
ENTERTAINMENT TO BE GIVEN
Redland, Ore., Dec. 16. (Special)
Fir Grove school at Redland will give
a historical pageant representing old
English customs Friday evening, De
cember 19. The Redland brass band
will assist the students by furnishing
the music for the occasion.- No ad
mission will be charged. ,
"I have the names of a number of
boys who have been seen lately with
cigarettes and I also have the names
of two Oregon Cjty cigar stores who
have, I believe, sold tobacco fo minors
in the past. I intend to use these
lists." This was the statement of
Chief Shaw to an Enterprise reporter
Monday.
"It is almost impossible for either
the officers or myself to catch the
dealers selling tobacco to boys and in
the same way it is seldom that. I can
see minor smoke because we are
known as representatives of the law
and the mere sight of one of us is
enough to put the dealer and boy on
guard. For this reason, I ask the co .
operation of each and every citizen
who wishes to see this law enforced."
The chief would not state definitely
if any arrest would be made but he
acknowledged that he was keeping a
close watch on two Oregon City
stores and that sensational develop
ments might materialize at any time.
He also has a list of boys who are
known to usually be supplied with
tobacco.
CLERK'S OFFICE HAS ITS
BIGGEST DAY IN HISTORY
- Never in the history of the office of
the county clerk have the fees multi
plied as rapidly as they did Monday
when the deputies received $70 for
filing papers in the circuit and pro-
The business for the day is a rec
ord breaker. Several papers were filed
and a great deal of routine business
transacted ... by the clerk's office
through the day. The fees that the
office collects come from the filing of
papers that are to pass through the
judicial grist in both courts.

would be built
It is with, an eye to the future that
the people of this city are planning
these parks. At the present time

THE DIAMOND AND THE DISC
Changeable needles or points are not used. The reproducing point which
traverses the record is a genuine diamond, permanently mounted ; it is never
changed and never wears. ... .
RECORDS
The records are in the disc form, of a material which is new in chemistry
and of so great hardness as to permit the reproduction of the myriad of faint
overtones which alone give quality to music. These records are truly inde
structible. The method of recording these new Edison records is also new,
and the processes of manufacture are unique and new in every detail. - '
SPECIAL MOTOR
The mechanism of this new instrument is powerful, and is governed as
accurately as a chronometer in order that the pitch shall at all times be ac
curately reproduced. , : i:
