THE DOG NUISANCE
Many complaints are heard concerning
the number of unlicensed dogs running al
large in Vernonia. And a surprisii
large number of them are often seen in
the business district. This is due to the
fact that the city has no dog pound
to keep those unlicensed for a time until
they are claimed and the fine paid or else
disposed of, in the manner provided by
ordinance.
But little incentive is left to the owner
of a dog to pay its license, if his neighbor's
dog, which is not licensed, is permitted
the same freedom and liberty that his dog
enjoys. The marshal has stated that un­
licensed dogs would soon be caught and
penned up if the council would provide
a pound for them. But these requests have
been overlooked from time to time, until
now the situation is badly in need of a
remedy.
Other cities in Oregon have ordinances
prohibiting dogs running at large, al­
though they permit them to be on the
streets if hek by a leash. Although the
dog has his p ace in the world, and even
as the companion of man, that place is
not in the business district of any town.
TELEPHONES AND PRESENT-OAY
LIFE
Today never knows shat tomorrow will
bring. This is an •. i ?e peculiarly applic­
able to this day and ; gc. Never were con­
ditions in gene’al so topsy-turvey and so
subject to change without notice. The pro­
gress of evolution has assumed the pro­
portions of revolution. Change was for-
; rely likened to the hour hand of the
clock—there is a continuous movement
b it is irnnerc'ptible to the human eye.
But today change is comparable with the
second hand. All are sensible to the
changes going on in the world today.
Only a few years ago the general aspect
of the average community changed little
from year to year. Then erection of a new
building was an event. In this up-and-go-
ing age the average community is a for­
eign land to the old resident who has
been sojourning elsewhere for five years.
A building boom is a boom no more un­
less it is a matter of millions.
Every village and town should have a
set of befor? and-after bird’s-eye views.
They aie a su c-cure for communal dis­
satisfaction. While the community is
changing constantly, it takes a decade to
effect a complete transformation. So a
photograph of Main street of today placed
side by side with a photograph of Main
street of ten year ago affords that start­
ling but satisfying contrast which reas­
sures the booster and knocks the props
out from under the omnipresent malcon­
tents. Millionaires begin as market boys
and messengers. Great cities grow out of
a general store and a church.
