Weal l.lnn at the present time has two schools, one rulled tho "Hunsol" school and Ihe other, the "lloltou" school. Itolh buildings are crowded and It has been found necessary lo plan addltluniil rooms which will bo built as soon as poshIIiIu. The Moody Investment company hus offered the school board of that dis trict seven acres of land In the center of the new town for whut Is consider ed a low price and a large number of pemons are In fuvor of taking advant age of the offer. Many Cross River. There are a large number of West l.lnn students attending the Oregon City High achool. This Is not only un handy for the students but also neces sitates the paying uf tuition by the Went l.lnn school board. It la plunni-d to acquire this land and build am It a school that will be able lo propi-fly handle the number of atu dents for years to come. With the lo cating of new Induatrles in West l.lnn and the corresponding Increase of pe pie, the citizens of the city estimate thai there will bo a greatly Increased number of students and that Increased school facilities will be necessary. Modern, Up to Date. The school building or buildings would be modern In every respect, ac cording to the plans of the boosters of lhe scheme. 'They would be an ornament In the city and a fit place for developing the latent mental and physical power of our boys and girls. Only the best of materials would be used In construction nnd the truc lures would be made as fireproof as possible," said a prominent man of West l.lnn. to a representative of the Morning Enterprise Saturday. "With aeven acre we would make a beautiful park, and. as Ihe site 1 upon the hill tho view would he one of the best from this district. After the school became established ll Is prob able that athletic fields would be built and tennis court made," he contin ued. Huns are In a purely formative .cage yet, tho date of construction auu even the locution, of the new school being largely a nintter ot speculation. FRANCHISES OFF ON FIRST STACE GET THROUGH FIRST READING AND DATE IS SET FOR HEARING CITY INTERESTS ARE PROTECTED Companies Must do Improvement Work on Street When Engineer Furnishes Plan nd Speci fication for It Iloth the rincknmas and the Carver franchises have been passed by tho city council to their second readiiiR Tin y will come up again December 22 at which llmo it Is possihlo thut somo chnnges will he made in the provis ions of Ihe ordinances. The franchises as they now stand provide for a llfo of 25 years from the date of their approval by tho mayor. They contain common user clauses and enable the companies to build slnglo or double -trucks down Water street for the transportation of the truffle that will come in over thnt street when the roads are completed. The council has allowed the erec tion of a single line of poles for the wire with double brackets. The eompanle mny run the poles down tho center of the street and use both tracks, although there was consider able opposition tn this scheme when It was first suggested at the hearing In the council chambers. The lines must assist the city la the improement work that it con templates there and must fill In to the established grade of the street In ac cordance with the plan and specifi cations of the city engineer. Should there be any change made In the franchise at that time, the council would have to start them on their first reading again and go through all of the attendant routine for the second time. The ordinance apply to Water street, the Carver line running the entire length of the street and the Clackamaa Southern running from Twelfth to Fourteenth street on Water MreeL Iloth line have a definite time n which to begin construction and In which to finish the line. Lnless the work 1 done and the requirement or the city met. the franchises can be de clared forfeited by the council.

T FARMERS AGREE TO DONATE GROUND FOR TRIAL AND FUND8 ARE SPENT MARKET FOR GOODS IS UNLIMITED Company Can Afford to Ship Flax From Large Territory to City Mill and Yet Make Profit -On Investment ri i-n nf n-rnunil Invested as tti uinel tlnlifillll in ninitiil is the basis of the campaign that will be waged tbrougti the county oy mose luiercBieu ln boosting for the flax mill. Q.mia .tima mm & 'nronositon was submitted to the commerclul club of fering to come to the city wnn a mm r,.r lha nrndiicilnn and manufacture of linen products if the club would raise $50,000. either from the business men here or througn tne coumy. To Sell Stock. A. the ninnev is to be raised from the sue of stock, the committee that have the matter In charge propose to get the money If they have to go all of the way to Salem and to Hillaboro after It. They plun to sell that much stock through this section of the state and to get signatures from the farm ers of the county that ihey will plant the five acres of flax for the mill. As the profit on the products of the crop Ih great, the range of tributary terri tory Is large and the material may be shipped Into the city from all parts of a large district. It has been shown that the linen In dustries of Ireland buy their flax ln tue markets of ltelgiura, Russia and Germany, ship the raw material to Ire land and make it into cloth and other materlnl for a further shipment .a Amerlcnn markets. Big Territory. The committees figure that If the denier can use the water and rail transportation lines to such an extent In the handling of the raw mntertal be fore It gets to the factory, certainly thev can ship the flux from all parts of the state to Oregon City by rail or water and make It into cloth here with still a large margin of profit. Through the valley, the boosters will ask the farmer to take stock in the company and to pay for that stock with one-half of the crop until all of the money Is paid into the company. The farmer does not have to produce any actual cash. He devotes five acres of his land to the crop. The produc tion of two and one-half acre Is paid iha milt f.ir ihn stock that he has taken. The other two and one-half is bought at the current market price, it i-ncmoi. inlrf.fi n lnrcfl block of stock, as many of them have already agreed to do. It fill take mm some time to pay off the money but he will have a large Interest In a deal that is believed by the committee to be a sure paying proposition. Club Investigate. Before the club hs gone Into the matter, however. It ha placed the committee at work to Investigate the success of other venture of the kind through other state where they have been tried. The fact that thl. will be one of the few mill In the entire west and the only on in the Mate also add to the value of the proposition and the price of the product, according to those who are interested and are In formed In the matter. Such a Tast territory can be made tributary to the city and m many farm placed in the acreage of flax production, that the booter for th enterprise can see no limit to the value of the plant and the market for the -ods.

TO ENTER FIELD KELSO MAN TALKS WITH CLUB SCR ETA RY OVER CHANCES FOR BUSINESS IS KEY TO LARGE MILK MARKETS Manager Think. City Control. All Point, of Vantage and that HI. Line. May Stretch Out Into Rural District. The consumption of 2500 pounds ot butter weekly within the city alone and the nnusual markets here and ln Port land have made their appeal to the imagination of I. M. Morgan of Kelso who is now planning to put In a cream ery here. In conference with Secretary Frey tag of the commercial club Tuesday, lhe manufacturer told his plans for the new factory and spoke of the ad vantages that this city offers to the maker of butter and cheese. The weekly demand for butter alone here ia more than 2500 pounds and the milk and chees trade has hardly been more than touched, he believes. Small Plant First. Though he does not plan to put in large plant at first, he thinks that he will be able to meet the demand for his product and that he can later en- larea the ulant to the size that is re quired for his market. In the almost untouched territory around Molalla and other rural points, he plans to reach for the business that he thinks is there. Molalla has been making a special effort for sometime to get u creamery of its own'after the old one went out of business. Mr. Morgan, however, believes that be can hnndle the entire trade of the country through the city and that he will be able to bring the milk here and care for it without going to the smaller towns. He would establish receiving stations at these points and would place a man in charge of them to take the milk that the farmers brought along the route and delivered to the concern Several at Work. Already, there are a number of creameries doing business through the county and ln this part of the state. The new factory would not Invade the present territoy but would expect to handle such business as the other companies did not get. Those who have studied the situation believe that there is room ln the city and countv for at least one more creamery and that routes could be established that would bring In the milk products of these farms to the new concern. The companies that have already en tered the field have been making strenuous efforts for sometime to get more cattle Into the county and to make the dairy industry a bigger feat ure of the business. They have en couraged the fanners to buy the best grade of cattle from the eastern dairy centers and have done all that they could to assist in making the selec tion for them. Has Sam Scheme. The new company would plan to work along the same line. Its man ager believes that the county and his own business can best be developed with the aid of the farmers and that the dairy industry should be one of the biggest in the territory. Beside the milk that would be handled, there would be many by-prod-octs from the concern. Butter, cheese, butter milk and other products would be placed on the market. The company thinks that the city is the center of this business and that its proximity to Portland will give the creameries both the local and the foreign market to supply. EW CREAMERY BOY TRAHP IS KILLED BY CARS TRIES TO rtfctACH RODS UNDER PASSING FREIGHT AND IS CAUGHT BY WHEELS MEETS HIS DEATH AT DEPOT SIDING Entire Train Goes Over Body and Cut It Almost Beyond Recognition No Paper or Clue to HI Identity Caught underneath the wheels of a freight, an unknown tramp was in tantly killed almost In front of the Southern Pacific depot at 10 o'clock Tuesday night. He had evidently been waiting around the yards for the freight, ex tra number 25.19, to move off of the siding where it waited for number 221 to pass on toward Portland. Just as the train started for San Francisco, the tramp made a leap for the rods, missed, and was mangled almost bo yond recognition. Train Mangle Body. Across his body the entire train passed cutting it from the waist to the left shoulder. His head was lying far Inside of the track when he was found, showing that he had missed the rod and was not able to force him self through to the other side In time to escape the rapidly moving wheels of the car. For aometlme, the train bad stood ! on the siding at the depot awaiting the arrival of the other freight. Just a it started to move, he evidently made the leap that endua in hi death. Though there were several who stood within a few feet of him at the time, they heard not a sound and the was dead before he discovered what had happened. braxeman See Body. As the northbound freight passed on to Portland, the brakeman on the ca boose saw a form lying on the track. He signalled to the men at the depot and the investigation showed that the unknown hobo had been killed by the extra train. On all of the trains running through the city, the roads are carrying num bers of tramps who are now traveling south to the warmer climate. Though none of the company agents nor the officer, had seen this man hanging around the place, he bad probably been waiting hi. chance down the track in the yards and made the leap just as the train started off of the siding and on to the main line. Another Theory. Another theory of the death ha. been advanced by those who saw a number of other hoboes on that train. Just as the extra pulled into the yards, five hoboes appeared on the train and started to climb off. On of them struck the connection on the air break and the train stopped with a Jerk. Some believe that this man was be tween the cars and that the sudden jerk of the train threw him under neath. His posMlon when found, however, seems to indicate that he had tried to beat his way south and failed. He was probably carried 10 feet down the track from the place where he struck the rail as his tat, a sliver watch, and other articles were found scattered about, mashed. No Paper. Found. At the time that his mangled body was gathered up by Coroner Wilson, no papers were found on him to give any clue as to his identity. It is pos sible that he was about 25 years ot age and had been in the city but a short time. On the same train that mangled tho one hobo who was trying to make his way to a wanner climate, were otter tramps riding in and on top of the cars from one division end to the other. It is also probable that there were several underneath on the rods that this boy was trying to reach and that the freights were both heavily loaded with tramps traveling through the country to the south. At this season of the year, tnere are hundreds of them. The city jail has been filled with them for weeks.
