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. o DnplHE EUGENIC'WEDDING 1 1 ment and a Kansas girl has been properly solemnized and advertised, " although the dispatches failed to gratify our curiosity as to whether the health certificates were exchanged and retained by the contracting parties left with the officiating clergyman for" his protection or made a matter of re cord.

It merely means that they fact. , Whether they did this merely noiinr no m iirnor rna hit onnn m roiini-0 dJ lu niiai luv, law anuuiu H.lUI11., and demanded professional protection of speculation. If the third theory be correct, which is altogether improbable, due caution should have been exercised by both parties.

' 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 -improvidence is one of the prolific causes of domestic difficultes, the groom ' i ii -l i.. s.r.-i ....... . . x i,: .c:., :i j:.: .a SUOU1U aisu carry piupcuy tci uucu lilcuiciil ui m iinauyiai uunuiiiun anu a sworn itemized account of his receipts and "expenditures for" a period of - i-mto A eimtlof Ifpmpi ct-.i f-mnl- lulu vfrifrprl cHmilrl Kf fnrnillpH hv one of the parents of the bride, setting also be compelled to furnish a diploma mestic science, xesurying to ner auuuy io cook, suuicuuiig.ucsiucs vycisu iau- bit. 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 ENTERPRISE Editor and Publisher January 9, 1911, at the postoffice at 1879.

The Bank of Oregon City OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY OMlfY GETS (Continued, from page 1) 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. SHE WILL REMEMBER Such a gift as ' the American Beauty Percolator is sure to be re membered for many years to come.
