Agalt the people of the Wlllnm cite Valley have evidenced their ap proval of the work being done by the officers of the Clackamas Southern Railway Company, this time at Sll verton, notwithstanding the efforts of some certain Clacknmns CouiTTy people to pour cold water on and dampen the "enthusiasm of the people sJong the survey and right of way.

L..v ,,hu ,,., Kiiv.nnn fore winter. Now Sublimity and Mount Ansel de mand recognition; In fact both places are willing and able to subscribe a sufficient amount to demand the at tention of the officers of the road. What Bhall they do? What can be done? Oregon City people pass by daily without hardly common knowledge of the work their fellow citizens are doing. Do we all under stand or realize that we are about to connect a new country with our city as a distributing center? Our bust ness men Interested in the manage ment of this road are willingly giving hours and even days of their time each week to this great work, and without even one cent of recompense or even reimbursement of their ex penses. It would seem that more of us should aid by the purchase of a few shares of stock while it can be purchased. COMMERCIAL CLUB COMBINE I While there Is a movement on foot j In Washington, D. C, to form a Na tional association of Commercial Clubs there Is more need of such an asso ciation of the clubs within our State, for the upbuilding and bettering of State conditions generally within our State. While there Is such an organ ization known as the Oregon Develop ment League, many of the Clubs with in the State are not connected which makes the representation limited. If such an organization could be brought about, a convention could be held annually, or oftener to bringtogether for a day or two representatives from every corner of our great State, thus when becoming acquainted teaching some of us the way to prosperity Ehould we now be working along the wrong lines. Whether ths convention was held In Portland, Albany, Eugene, Baker City, The Dalles, or Oregon City makes no difference to us here, al though we would like to have it The results are what we are after and what all should consider of first Importance. - Our State Is going backward In many respects particularly it laws. We are not showing the Industrial in crease we should, and all other in creases are dependent, in a large measure, upon the increase in a man' ufacturlag way. Many Eastern Cities have standing offer's of large bonuses for factories to operate within their limits and great stress is laid upon labor and law conditions. It Is high time that something is done through our Commercial bodies to make our conditions regarding laws, the equal of those In other states and this can be done easily and legitimately through the co-operation of all the State's Commercial Clubs, and their unanimous and untiring efforts in their various sections. NEED OF AN ARMORY A CONVENTION CITY. Now, what do you think of that? Oregon City a Convention City. We have entered into work for our spirit ual as well as our financial welfare. , In April, 1913, one year hence, we will welcome and entertain the represen tatives from Sunday Schools from all sections of the State, 500 to 600 in number. This demonstrates that all we need do to get things is to go after them. We are awaking to the fact that we have a beautiful, resourceful city, one which everyone in the state should visit, one which will be visited by thousands if we only let them know we are on the map. Since the large expenditures during the past 2 years on street work, and the other work of great public interest and benefit. Including the beautifying of our parks by the Woman's Club, we have something of a scenic nature be yond compare to show and methods for showing same. Now we are after conventions. We have proposed and been accepted by The Oregon State Sunday School As sociation. We have many places in which this convention can be held, but none of them public halls or audi toriums. If we get busy and build a place second to none, one large enough for gatherings twice In num ber of that to be with us in April next. We also have hotels, and our peo ple will take many into their homes, but the Hotel Committee of The Live Wires Bays it must get busy and In terest Foreign Capital In the enter prise If our city and county folk do not see fit to do bo. There are many sites of considerable value for this purpose, and with the promised ele vator to the hill bluff sites are val uable and available. The Commercial Club and Oregon City are to be congratulated on se curing this assembly of church folk. Albauy, Oregon, according to the last Government census has about the same population as Oregon City. Linn County has about the same population as Clackamas County. Albany has many miles of hard paved streets has some good public parks, and above all, an Armory second to none within the State, in which to house Its Na tional Guard Company,' and, when de sired, to hold conventions .concerts, or other Dublic doings. No one In Linn County questioned the right and advisability of the County Court tak ing advantage of the law, and today everyone is proud of the building erected in 1910, while visitors and la tending settlers wonder at the great showing of prosperiity this small val ley city makes, leaving a lasting im pression. Albany Is a nice place, but has none of the natural advantages of Oregon City has practically no pay roll, depending In a large measure on the outlying districts for existence. yet Albany's citizens cannot be too highly complimented upon their far sightedness, public spirltedness, and the way they have beautified what otherwise would be barren waste. We hope for like feeling here, with hard paved streets, the bluffs beauti fied by a landscape gardiner, our parks altered and replanted, a pub lic library and an Armory, in addi tion to the items now under the guid ing hand of the Live Wires, Oregon City is destined to greater prosperitj than ever before. HEROES OF THE TITANIC The appalling long of life on the Titanic nlmoat makes ones flesh creep, when he thinks how almost nil, if not all, could have been saved had there been provided a suffi cient amount of life saving equl ment. Inquiries will not bring back to life the hundreds of heroes who went to their doom ns no such num ber of men ever did In the history of the world. All the efforts of those saved and of friends and relatives will not bring back the loved ones to those bereaved, absolutely without notice, or warning. There Is only one consoling point and that Is the words of praise coming from every mouth for those heroes, for such each and every one was who gave np his lifJ that the women and children might be saved. May the name of each and every one be written In history and held sacred from this hour. ROOSEVELT GETS 1214 IN COUNTY (Continued from page 1) It Helps! Mrs. J. F.

GRANT The prominence of the later Gen, Grant was not altoegther due to the prestige which was conferred upon him by his distinguished father. A eraduate of West Point In 1871' he served In the army ten years, attain ing the rank of lieutenant colonel after which he held several political posts, including those of minister to Austria, and police commissioner of New York. When the Spanish war came he immediately offered his ser vices to the government, became a colonel and afterward a brigadier gen eral, did good work in Porto Rico until the peace came, and later on was active In aiding In the suppres sion of the Insurrection of Aguinaldo in the Philippines. In his various activities Frederick D. Grant met all the demands which his assignments set up. By his poise and sanity he sustained the traditions of his family. He was a creditable soldier and citizen, and his death at the age of 62, when many years of life still seemed ahead of him, will be regretted by the country. Incident ally, bis death points out the futility of attempting to conceal, by denials or evasions, the fact of a person's serious Illness, after the report reach es the newspapers. In such an ex igency, as In ail other affairs, the truth should be told. A great many families just receive money and pay it out again without making and record of it. They do not know where it comes from, nor where it goes. This bank recommends opening household accounts subject to check, which enable the depositors to pay all bills by writing their own personal checks, and the best part of this plan is that the money is alwsys safe and secure.

La Follette carried Multnomah County, his large vote there evidently having been due to the addresses made by him in Portland. Ben W.

RESULTS OF PRIMARY INDICATE THAT PRESIDENT MIGHT LOSE STATE t CLARK HAS STRONG FOLLOWING Instructed Delegates Chosen Up To Date Are For Colonel Taft Reported To Be Losing Ground WASHINGTON. D. C. April 22, (Special.) The complete figures of the vole at the Presidential primar ies !n Illinois on April 9th throw an illuminating light on what that great Republican Btate may be expected to do at the election next November.

President Taft and several members of his Cabinet were In conference tonight considering, It Is understood, the po litical situation In New England and reviewing some speeches the Presi dent Is to make on his trip, which begins tomorrow. In some of his speeches tho Prcsl dent Is expected to break the silence he has maintained under public at tacks by Colonel Roosevelt and prob ably mention the former president by name. This course, It Is said, Is personal ly distasteful to the President, but has been forced upon him by events. "The results In Nebraska and Ore gon are not directly responsible for the President's determination to go Into Massachusetts, because the an nouncement was made at the White House before the two primaries were held. Hut It had been conceded for several days that Taft's chances In Nebraska and Oregon were poor, and It was regarded as the part of good politics to forestall any effect these primaries might have In the Hay State upon that element of the voters that Is swayed by news of passing victor ies elsewhere. From n6w on the campaign In Mas sachusetts will take a new spurt. Ev ery Republican Congressman will be put on the stump. Most of them are home now; and Representative Rob erts will complete the list by leaving here Monday. c V w Absolutely Pan Makes Home Baking Easy No other aid to the housewife is so great, no other agent so useful and certain in making delicious, wholesome foods The only Baking Powder made from " ' Royal Grape Cream of Tartar No Alum No Lima Phosphates UNIVERSITY CASE 18 SENT TO PEOPLE 8AI.K.M.

For ty-seven passengers, all but one citi zens of the Cnlted States, who ar rived today from Vera Cruz on the steamship Ttxaa, told of alleged tor ture and assassination of Americans in Mexico. All the refugees left the lands, homes, furniture and cverthlng they possessed except enough money for passage and the clothes on their backs Among the entire number there were only four or live trunks. M. M. Ish, one of the refugees, told of t tie murder of an American citizen named Walt. "Mr. Walt was a neighbor of mine," "He bad sold several head opposing candidate, and what would be the result in case Roosevelt and Clark should be the contestants. The situation as between Clark and Taft is presented graphically In the following table.: (lark 211,809 Taft 122,978 Clark's majority . 88,831 That Is, If Taft Is the nominee tho Republican party will lose Illinois, but with Roosevelt as the nominee the Republicans will win, as shown by the following table: Roosevelt 252,626 Clark 211,809 Roosevelt's majority 40,817 Missouri is the latest state to de monstrate that Colonel Roosevelt Is the choice of the people. Of the nine congressional districts that have elec ted ther delegates to the Chicago-convention, seven are for Colonel Roose velt, giving him fourteen delegates. At least six of the other seven will also go for Roosevelt. In the election of delegates to the state convention the Roosevelt forces have prevailed by a great majority, more than 600 Roosevelt delegates having been elec ted already. There will be 1,171 del egates In the state convention, in St. LouIb county, where Taft was sup posed to have his greatest strength, the county convention sprung a sur prise on the Taft managers by elect ing a solid Roosevelt delegation to the state convention. The thirty-four St, Iuis county delegates clinch the Roosevelt control of the state conven tion and Insure the election of four delegates at large from Missouri for him.

FEDERAL OFFICER TO SPEAK If THIS CITY of cattle and hidden the money. Des peradoes came to his home and de manded money. Falling to get It, they deliberately beheaded him with their machetes and herded his cattle off. There are many Instances Just like this. "We lived In a little settlment where a colony of 11 American families had founded the town of Sunburn. All departed because we were afraid to icmain longer, knowing we should be killed or tortured. Hefore leaving we filed our claims for damages with the American consul In Mexico City." .lohn T. McGee, a wealthy painter who went to Mexico two years ago returned to America minus more than $20,000 and left behind land and live stock. McGee tells of alleged cruel ties practiced on an American woman, a Mrs. Shay, now In the hospital at Mexico City. "What has been truo of the Shay family," said McGee, "has been like wise true of scores of other Amer icans, and by staying there we took our lives In our hands. The bandits are everywhere. The Mexican Gov ernment Is not able to quiet them." Practically every man on hoard the Texas had a similar story to tell of experiences In Mexko. "The only reason we are here," said one of the men. "Is that we were lucky enough to beat them to It. Ev erywhere you go, except right In the largest cities, you will see deserted farms, houses burned, livestock stol en, and In many Instances the decay ing and headless bodies of their own ers lying about. "The bandits are in such large num bers and so scattered over the Inter ior that to resist them Is useless. We Americans had to give up every thing: to them when they came to the Beulements, not matter how well armed we might be." Sunburn, the place where the refu gees say some of the alleged atroci ties oi 'urred, is In the State of Vera Cruz, 13 miles northwest of San I-u-cretia. It Is on the Vera Cruz and Isthmus Railway, across the Isthmus of Tehauntepec, and is listed as a railway and telegraph station. loway restraining the Secretary of State from placing the question on tho ballot for approval or rejection by the people at tho next general election.
