Contenders for the speakership were Kav Rurdir.k Kubli and others. The Clackamas county delegation threw its united support to Kubli.

Johnson has not been making an active campaign and does not claim many followers, but is considered a stalker for the eastern Oregon block. -Moser' s candidacy has suffered from the announcement that Kubli is to be speaker. There are those otherwise friendly to Moser, who now claim that so great influence as rests in the ap pointive power of the speaker of the house and president of the senate, should not be centered in Portland. Roy Ritner, now president of the senate, and six other senators now form an eastern Oregon block. It is claimed that four of them in the final voting are to carry the whole seven. And it has been the hope of the organ ization of the group to combine with valley men on a man for president sat isfactory to them. It has even been hinted that there are flirtations on be tween this block and the Moser following.- The latest resume of the situation is to the effect that the western and val ley senators are not enthusiastic over a coalition with the eastern brethren and that the senators outside those pledged to Eddy are free to support whpm they will. Both Eddy and Moser have hopes of the easterners, who are just now considering the ad visability of putting forth one of their own number for the honors. Altogether, however, Senator B. L. Eddy, who has been in the legislative service of his state for two score years, will be the winner. Senator Eddy has been straightforward and fair to the various interests before the legisla ture. He has clear vision and is ener getic and efficient. DEFINITE DATE URGED FOR OPENING NEW SPAN , At the recent meeting of the State Highway Commission, the engineer was instructed to set a date for the opening of the new bridge. This will be necessary in order that the dedica tion ceremony may proceed definitely. The desire for widening the west approach to the bridge is held in check by the demand for $18,000 for the Knightly store building, which ob structs the proposed way. The com mission and others consider this price exhorbitant. . . . . . Fire Threatened School .

YONCE-FREEZE A quiet but beautiful home wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Yonce, 1103 Fifth street, last Thursday evening at 6 o'clock,- when Virgil W. Yonce and Miss Edith Freeze were joined in wedlock by Rev. H. G. Edgar. Preceding the ceremony, Miss Leta Posson of Estacada played softly "Just Away." This was immediately follow ed by a solo , "God Made Thee Mine," sung by Mrs. Joseph Miller, of this city, after which Lohengrin's wedding march was played also by Miss Pos son. In a corner of the living room, be tween two windows, an arch had been formed of white chrysanthemums min gled wih ferns, before which, with it3 background of green, the marriage cer emony took place. A canopy of white crepe paper with strips of green on either side, extend ed along the ceiling from wedding arch to dining room, indicating the path way the bride was to take. Preceded by her bridesmaid, Miss Helen Woos ter, of Portland, the bride, entering, advanced to the strains of "Lohen grin," to the middle of the room, where she was met by the groom and escorted by him to her place in front of the arch, where, facing the minister, they were joined in marriage, the ring ceremony being used. Crowned with the "shower of pearls" and orange blossoms, which caught and held in place her wedding veil of tulle, the bride, in a dress of white satin made by her mother, and carry ing a shower boquet of bride's roses and lillies of the valley, presented a picture long to be remembered by the few intimate friends and relatives who had gathered to witness the ceremony. A necklace of pearls, gift of the groom, gave a finishing touch to a beautiful bridal costume.

Wages For Control of Glassy Cutworm. A farmer in the Surinyside commun ity recently reported Jo the County Agent that something was destroying his fall wheat An investigation was made and with the assistance of the Entomology Department of the Ore gon Agricultural College it was found that the damage is being done by the "Glassy cutworm." This worm cuts off the young plant a shoTt distance below the surface of the ground, caus ing the earth to be entirely bare of grain, in places many hundred square feet have been destroyed. Mr. Rockwood of the U. S. Entomo logical Station at Forest Grove has made an examination of the effected field and has identified the worm as one which works only on plants simi lar to wheat and oats. The best con trol is effected by crop rotation which includes some crop such as clover, on which the worm' will not live. This field has been in grain for six years at least. According to Mr. Rockwood it is very unusual for this worm to be so destructive at this season, as it usually is active in the spring months. The County Agent has arranged with the Bureau of Entomology to keep this case "under observation and to carry on some control tests during the com ing months. The rworm varies in color from a clear white to brownish and may be a quarter inch to an inch in lenght. Other cases of this kind should be re ported to the County Agent at Oregon City. Construction Bond Roads Planned For Next ' Year Road Districts Levying Special Ten Mill Tax Will Receive Equal Sum - From County Funds Plans for the construction of bond roads during 1922, contemplate the building of nearly 28 miles of perman ent roadway. The roads contemplated as a part of the 1922 program includes two miles of the Molalla road; four miles of the Beaver Creek road; Bar ton and Estacada road, ten miles; Bor ing road, three miles; Logan road, three miles; Damascus-Portland road, two and one-half miles; Clackamas river road, three miles. - It is estimated that the base and grading can be completed ready to lay the pavement, on these roads for $1 000 per mile. The county court bas notified each district in which road ; meetings are to be held, that In the construction of the base and grade the districts levying a special ten-mill tax for this purpose would receive a like amount from the county court to help in construction work. The court matching the special levy up to 500 for each mile. In addition, if the program of making the special levies is carried out, it will lead to the Reparation of the base, ready for paving, in 1924 of the Canby- Marquam road, a distanct of four miles; Wilson ville-Oswego road, three miles; Springwater-Oregon City road, three miles. 88-ACRE TRACT ADDED TO HOSPITAL SITE An 88-acre tract was added to the site of the DroDOsed convalescent hos pital at Canby, when Dr. C. H. Schenk of Salem, last week, purchased a tract of land from George H. Brown of New Era. The deal, made through A. C. Howland of Oregon City, was closed Tuesday night, the consideration be ing about $26,400, or approximately $300 an acre. This property, which- is under culti vation, is located on the Pacific high- way, about one mile south of New Era, and is considered one of the best tracts in that section. A residence is in cluded, but a small portion of the land upon which is situated a potato ware house is reserved by Mr. Brown.

The general plan at first was to pro ceed down Main street to Fifth, over the hill and through Canemah, with overhead railroad crossings at the en trance tp Canemah and at Fifth street. Some local citizens advanced the prop osition of improving Railroad avenue to Fifth street and reaching the said avenue via Seventh street from the! new bridge. Opposing forces plead with the high way commission, and finally the com mission decided in favor of Seventh street and Railroad avenue. The financing of the Main-Fifth street route "was provided for by the Hawley Paper Company, the S. P. and P. R. L. & P. and C. W. P. companies. The amount agreed upon was approxi mately $105,000, which was the esti mate several months ago. The present bid is $98,610. The council was asked by the high way commission to provide for the im provement of Railroad avenue, but had no means for this work, and there fol lowed the announcement that the Haw ley interests would not donate to the project unless the route were over Main and Fifth, streets, . The commissioners, at the meeting on Tuesday, at which time the bid for the South End road was opened, re ferred the matter of the lowest bid, that of Rejotte & Winters, to the en gineer. The details having been practically all arranged, the final decision to go ahead with the work is believed but a few days away. THE NORTHWEST HAS FINE POST-WAR RECORD With 1154 injured World War vet erans of this distriot rehabilitated, the pacific-Northwest section of the United states Veterans' Bureau leads all other districts of the country in the number of vocationally rebuilt former service people, as compared with the number entering training. This announcement was made by L. C. Jesseph, northwest district manager of the bureau, who stated that there were 2767 others in training at the expense of the govern ment now. Only veterans who receiv ed disabilities in war service which j prevent them from resuming their pre war vocations were awarded training. This district, which includes Wash ington, Oregon and Idaho is also one of the two leaders in the United States in expeditious adjudication of compen sation claims, Mr. Jesseph stated. Only 476 such claims out of a tojal of 14, 347, filed by veterans in the district, are pending action at the present time, This is three per cent plus of the total number. With less than one per cent : of lts mail unanswered, the northwest bureau leads all others in the matter of prompt answering of correspond ence when this work was checked throughout the. country recently. State Taxes Paid W. W. Everhart, county treasurer, has remitted to the state treasurer a check for $139,116.89, this being the ilast half of tne amount due the state ifor the past year's tax levy from clack" amas county.

The award of the publications to the ''Morning Recall Organ," irrespective of the rights of the other county pa pers, was a very small piece of Piccay unish Pinhead Politics and will not be allowed by the Banner-Courier to shut off its readers from these notices which affect them. so. vitally.

OREGON'S NET WEIGHT . LAW SUBJECT TO ABUSE Section 8687, Oregon Laws, requires that all food products put up in pack age form, must have plainly printed on the wrapper thereof the net weight, measure or numerical count of the contents of said package. "The U. S. Food and Drug act re quires that food in package form shall bear a statement of the quantity of t contents at the time it is offered for interstate shipment or otherwise comes Because of variations in weight which may occur before shipment, a state ment of 'Net Weight When Packed is not necessarily a statement of the net weight when offered for shipment. Allowance should be made in packing products which are liable to change in weight, so that the declaration of net weight will be true at the time the article becomes subject to operation of the law." In the violations of the net weight law which this office is finding in the state, they are almost invariably made by the manufacturers using the term "Net Weight When Wrapped," or "Net Weight When Packed." Or the said terms are apparently used as a buffer which such violations are made, and such terms were declared to r not proper on January 9, 1920. Under the net weight law of Oregon no such terms (when packed, or when wrapped) are permissible or allowable as the public is interested only in the net weight of a. food package at the time isame is offered for sale, COUNTY SCHOOL WILL AID IN SEAL CAMPAIGN County school superintendent Ved- der and the teachers of Clackamas county have endorsed this year's Christmas seal sale of the Oregon Tu berculosis association. , . The per capita apportionment for each person in Clackamas county is five cents. . Superintendent Vedder plans to have each teacher take the responsibility for the sale of $6 worth of seals, as in this manner the campaign can be put over in a few hours' work. Mrs. Mary R. Caufield of this city is chairman of the Clackamas county seal sales campaign, which starts on December 1st and closes Christmas eve. Mrs. Caufield is a member of the Clackamas county health association, which was founded several years ago, and of which Rev. H. G. Edgar i3 presi dent and Mrs. R. W. Kirk, secretary. The Clackamas County Health asso ciation receives 35 per cent of the pro ceeds from the sale of the seals and this money is used for local health pur poses. .- TURKISH RULER FLEES UPON BRITISH VESSEL According to late dispatches, Mo hammed VI, the Sultan of Turkey, has fled from Constantinople on a British warship, bound for Malta. Upon embarking the Sultan denied that he was adicating, but stated that he was merely removing himself from possible danger. The status of the Sultan has been rather an uncertain one since the ac tion of the Turkish Nationalist assem bly at Angora, to deprive him of his civil authority, and declaring that the Caliph, or religious head of Islam, would hereafter be selected from the imperial house by vote of the grand national assembly.
