! criticising visitors to condemn the coir
lectors. . They are regarded a tha un
fortunate agents of an 'unfortunate sys
tem. . It la believed 'that until the ctty
takes charge of lta own garbage collec
tions that the service will continue to
be unsatisfactory,' the collections In
complete, the wagons dripping and un
sanitary, and their presence, tn the
streets a frequent sight of the daylight
hours. -
Attention to Fact Carts Leak
Along Streets; r Collectocs
' Not Organized; Should &
Under City Supervisor.
Garbage carts dripping their contents
on the streets in tha middle of the day
are '.furnishing subject' for . frequent
criticism by visitors. , -
' "It Is too bad that Portland must
have such blotches on her beauty," said
one f the most important Hibernians
befor leaving; for bis eastern home.
He ' was ref erring first of all to the
fact that none-of the garbage carts are
moisture tight: They ooxe filth from
the point of collection to tha lnclnera
', tor, whert the-, garbage, which some
time may be burned, is deposited In a
t five-acre heap.
.Tha visitor also spoke - of the faot
that Jn , eastern ; cities garbage carts
are never seen on the streeta in the
middle bf the. day.. In Portland more
garbage carts ara seen on the streets
in' the, middle- of the day than In the
middle -of the night. , Then he ex
pressed surprise at the system -which
is responsible for the condition.
In communities where garbage col
" lection and disposition 1b not a nui
sance the city has charge of It and reg
ulates it. Moisture-tight garbage cans
are emptied into moisture-tight gar
bage , wagons Tby collectors who work
at night i'rp-'-r-,' " .
On Eandnd OArbaga ! Carta Ear.
" A garbage cart with its odors and
flies and offensive appearanca la never
seen on the streets in .the daytime.
In Portland, thera are about 100 gar
baga carts and collectors. 5 .They work
independently,!- In several senses, Be
yond licensing them the city exercises
no control. They get customers where
they can and- get -as much for their
service as their customers can be In
duced to pay. They drive from street
to street stopping at long interval.
Many times, o complete: their work or
set a load they must work! after the
day comes. . ..
Should the' city abolish ita street
cleaning department, requiring abutting
owners to attend to this part of mu
nicipal cleansingj should the property
owners let this work be done for them
by Individuals; should these individuals
then cross each Other's patha, sweep
ing here and there and at air times, a
comparison ,to Portland's garbage col
lection system would be obtained. : . -
There is no organisation between the
garbage collectors. They have ; only the
barest semblance of districts in which
to work. There is no way in which tha
city or the incinerator superintendent,
Mr. Napier, can assign them to dis.
trlcts since they are not employed by
the city,. Tlney .have, enough of a bode
between thera so that they can boycott
an offending patron if ha, dispenses
with the services of his collector with
out to their minds, sufficient reason.
Incinerator Too Small. 1
There is. too, a constant temptation
on the part of the east side collectors
to stealthily unload their wagons into
the gulches, and thus get back quickly
for another load. The city's only .in
cinerator is on the west side. ' . it la
near Guild's lake. It cannot handle or
burn in a day that day's collection of
garbage. It is a long way to the in
cinerator, and the wagons must wait
in line to be unloaded. . 1
So on the west side and on the east
side there is not so much disposition
on the part . of . complaining people and

MIRROR USED TO LURE
.JjOjJSE.FLY TO DEATH
Using mirrors to lure the pestiferous
housefly , to his death is the scheme
of W. E. Crlderman, of Portland, who
haa obtained a patent on the device,
which Is original and unique. Taking
his cue from the clothing merchant who
uses mirrors to show customers the per
fect fit of garments, Mr. Crlderman has
used the mirror to fool the fly Into
wandering behind screens which lead
to his death chamber. ,
The device is a simple box-like con
trivance, the trap, doors being operated
by a clock movement closing the. doors
to the opening every minute or two.
When once inside the trap, escape is
impossiDie with Mr. Fly. ,-,. , ' -
The mirror reflects the light and gives
the deceptive appearance of a large
space : in wljich the fly seems to feel
safe,' and he enters without reluctance.
In this simple manner it is claimed by
the inventor of the trap that a room
can be cleared of hundreds, of flies in
less than an hour. -.-v:

WANT TO LEAD ME
Leaders of Multnomah county poli
tics do not want any one In office In
the county who will not give them the
privilege of naming some of the patron
age. It has come rut that this is the
reason why R. L, Stevens was shoved
out into outer darkness by the "lead
ers" when toey were fixing up the
county slate some weeks ago.
"If you had come Into the assembly
you could have had the assembly nom
ination, explained Jimmy Kertchem,
who, like a faithful mirror, reflects the
sentiment of the higher-ups, lit the camp
of the managing men, in a talk he had
with County Clerk F, 8. Fields a few
days ago. , i ,
f "But," he continued. "Bob Stevens
couldn't have had it under any circum
stances. .Last year he would not let us
appoint a single deputy In his office."
What's the use of being a leader, the
leaders think, unless you are allowed
to lead a little.
