CITY OFFICIAL
TANDPATTERS of the worse
ment of communities. There are in every city gangs of these standpat
ters who oppose every public improvement, object to every step in ad-
vance. It makes no difference whether the matter at issue be a railroad, a
street improvement, or a water plant, they jump as though some one had
Stepped on their toes and get into the council or the courts to fight against the
Improvement that has been suggested. ...
; These gangs stands in the way of improvement. . They can see no fur
ther than the days when their illustrious ancestors came over the plains in the
ox carts. Just because the Twentieth Century limiteds did not happen to be
rushing across the deserts in those days is no reason why injunctions should
be sued out against them now. And yet, if they were consistent, these stand
patters would try to stop the trains that carry the freight and passengers of
the west to the population centers of the east.
There is no improvement that they do not oppose, no step in advance to
which they do not object.

wicked City of Washngton, where even people in highest places are often re
'ennnsive to mercenary influences, according to many of our magazine writers?
' On the other hand, how could a federal office holder expect impartial treat
ment at the hands of the family physician of the bride ?
- To insure confidence in, the health certificates they should be issued by the
medical examiner of a life insurance company and policies should accompany
them. Then the physician would feel some sense of responsibility. And the
life insurance policies themselves would constitute an admirable prerequisite
of marriage. Even the healthiest of individuals are sticken down by plague
or accident and financial relief of the bereaved should be provided, bince

But even after these preliminary precautions have been taken there is
. still a great possibility of martial woe, due to incompatibility of temper.
Courtship has long been conducted along the most unscientific and deceitful
lines. Each party tries to entrap the other by graciousness which is often
' assumed. The law should compel both young peole to show their worst side
. during the period of courtship. The eugenic test is worthless unless these
and a dozen or so more highly important matters are attended to.
o
FROM THE PROMOTERS of these dismal episodes known as public
dinners, by the uninitiate called banquets, comes dolorous plaint. Their
patronage is falling off. These assemblies are as great in number as
ever, but their patronage is decreasing at a rate which brings sorrow to
caterers and to dinner committees.
Whether the slack times that appress the tired business man, the stern
competition of the cabaret, or a revulsion against boredom has brought about
this neglect of one of our most expensively nourished institutions has not been
disclosed. Perhaps the mutterings of discontent that have been heard ever
since $10 a head was fixed as the minimum price of admission for any func
tion of this kind that pretends to amount to anything have taken form. Ten
dollars, even in these, days, will buy a good many pairs of stockings, and
men' who would willingly pay half that sum for a dinner and contract to
listen to the first two speakers think seriously before they sign their checks
for double that amount.
Another Influence may not be without effect. It must be confessed that
the supply of effective speakers is far below the demand. Of advocates with
outrages to expose and propagandists with remedies to of fer. there are more
than enough, but of orators possessing the rare gifts of sugaring wisdom with

tributaries of the Rogue near Grants
Pass and Clackamas station proper.
Since Mr. O'Malley came to Oregon
City the old stations have practically
all been rebuilt, with larger and more
modern hatching houses, n increased
water supply and equipped not only
to increase the egg capacity but to
insure greater care for the baby fish.
Record Here.
It is due to Mr. O'Malley's success
in building up the Oregon field that
he has been rewarded with promotion.
He entered the service 17 years ago as
assistant fish culturalist at St. Johns
bury, Vermont. Less than two years
afterward he was transferred to Lead
ville, Colo: At both these stations
the principal work was the propaga
tion of Eastern Brook trout, Black
spotted Trout and Rainbow trout.
From Leadville he was ' sent to
Baker Lake and promoted to fish cul
turalist, and when Superintendent H.
H. Buck resigned, O'Malley was ap
pointed in his place. His first work
was to install fish trap at Baker Lake,
and this necessitated taking machin
ery in by pack horse over the rough
est of mountain trails. This was the
means of saving the government many
thousands of dollars annually.
Makes Discovery.
He discovered the plan for using a
salt solution for separating the dead
eggs from the live ones. Until thig
discovery was made it had always
been necessary to pick out the dead
eggs by hand.- The salt solution caus
ed the dead eggs to float on top of the
water, where they were dipped off
with a scaff net. Mr. 0'Mallex.'s work
has not been pleasing to the Washing
ton office alone, but the cannerymon
of both, the Columbia river and Puget
Sound, as well as the sportsmen of
both states, are his ardent supporters.
They have weighed his work in the
scales of more fish to can and more
trout for the creels.
'Mr. O'Malley is 'an enthusiastic
fraternal man, being now in his sec.
ond term as exalted ruler of the Ore
gon City lodge of Elks, and is hign
priest of the Clackamas chapter of
xtoyal Arch Masons.
"CON" FIRES EDISON
OUT OF EXPRESS CAR
In the January Woman's Home Com
panion a contributor names ten great
men of our time and givfs many interesting-
facts about them. Among
these, of course, is Thomas A. Edison,
who is briefly- described as follows:
"Thomas Edison is one of the great
est inventive mechanical geniuses who
ever lived. His life story is outward
ly uneventful. He was born in Ohio
in 1847, and at twelve became a train
boy; h etook advantage of an empty
express room in a car and printed a
little newspaper called The Grand
Trunk Herald,' and also carried on
chemical and electrical experiments
there. These came to an end when he
set fire to the car accidentally, and
was dismissed by the angry conductor.
"He learned telegraphy and prac
ticed it in sceveral cities, coming after
a time to New York. There he invent
ed a printing telegraph machine,
known as 'the ticker,' to record stock
quotations. This brough him in forty
thousand dollars and enabled him to
set up his famous laboratory in New
Jersey.
"His first really great invention was
the quadruplex telegraph, which
makes it possible to send four mes
sages over one wire at the same time.
Next came the carbon transmitter.
Edison's third great work was the, dis
covery of the carbon filament for the '
inicandescent light, and his next tne
phonograph, which has developed in
to extended and various use. His work
on the cinematograph has brough mov
ing pictures into a conspicuous place
not only for amusement but for educa
tion. A recall of the recall may be start
ed next. -
MISSOURI NAN DIES
AT CITY HOSPITAL
W .A. Dillon died at the Oregon
City hospital Sunday morning after
suffering for several months from an
internal trouble that necessitated an
operation. He was about 60 years of
ago and came to Oregon from Miss
ouri more than three years ago. Since
his arrival here, he has been employed
in the Woolen mills.
The body was at once taken to St.
Joe, Missouri and the funeral will be
held there Tuesday. Mrs. Dillon and
his children went with the body and
will probably remain with relatives in
that state until spring?
A "back-to-the-child movement -; .Is
announced, s Mightn't back-to-the-grandparents'
movement be.' more" in
order? ...
Sawdust can. be made into sugar,
says a British scientist.' Perhaps that
will make a fine health sweetening for
sawdust cereal stuff.

Such a gift as ' the American
Beauty Percolator is sure to be re
membered for many years to come.
It's a decided addition to the con
veniences of the home. 5 ,
