PLEASANT A new sidewalk between Mt. Pleas ant and the city limits or uregon ciiy was the principal subject discussed at a meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Im provement dub held Tuesday evening. The committee, which Is working on this subject, consisting of A. C. War ner. J. W. Warnock and k. A. Roman. reported that work on the walk would probably be underway aoon. Ralph Mies read a letter from Judge T. Ryan, now of Salem, who offered to heln In every way avoBsible. The club will ask the city for a light at tho Point where the Mt. Pleasant walk leaves the city limits as It Is claimed that thia Is one of the darkest plnces on the neighborhood. Other matters. Including the purchase of a pluno and the celebration of the eighth anniversary of the organiza tion, were dlacussed. BIG DAK'S SALE Of CATTLE REPORTED Rceipts for the week have been at the Portland stock yards, cattle, 1604, calves, 2; bogs, 5318; aheep, 817-4. Cattle. The receipts here last Monday In cluded 850 cattle. 2200 hogs and 6500 i-heep. This was the lnrgest single day's receipts since the stock yards were established In September, 1909. Swine and sheep prices started off the week In a strong position, and In some Instances advanced sharply over re cent levels, hut cattle values were spotty, due to wide range In quality and a narrow outlet. One load of palme steers sold at $S,00 and a few more at $7.75 to $7.85. The remaind er of medium to choice beeves aver, aired from $7.45 to $7.70. Demand has been slow for steers and buyers' bids forced. Killers have a good-sized sur plus on hand and it required extra choice beef to bring $7.25 to $7.50. liulcher stock is In better demand than steers, but la not as firm at the week end us it was at the begtnnlng. Pack ers are Bhort hnndcd on choice she stuff, which has been a scarce article. Heifers ar efirm and bulls and stags found quick Bale. Heef price tenden cy Is weak, demand alow and outlet narrow. Hogs. Over 5000 swine have arrived on the market In six days, but the trade has absorbed the supply at steady to high er prices. The bulk of prime light hogs has been soiling from $8.00 to $S.10 with a few loads at $8.15 to $8.20. Outlet narrowed Friday, when anoth er big supply came In on the week end stock train. $8.05 waa top price up to Friday noon. Sheep. The sheep market Is showing Im provement as the winter wears along, and while liquidation was record breaking, outlet wag broad enough to discount it and both mutton and lambs sold higher. Prime wethers realize from $5.50 to $3.60 and ewes $4.25 to $4.50. 1-ambs brought $G.55 at mar ket's close and there is an unsatisfied call for fancy stock at that price. BRISK TRADE AND HIGH PRICES NOTED Pork rose In price In the local mar ttpts Tuesday w-hrn the quotations showed a run front 9c and 100 of tha day berore to lOr and 11c. The de mand for the meat was good and the price rise showed the tendency that has been felt for several aays. Ranch eggs, on the other hand, dropped to 30c from the 35c quotations of the last report. , Feed rose In value from the last report and a general! stronger note was felt all through the markets.

WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE WITH COMPANION DEFENSE SAYS THEY WERE FRIENDS Tries to Show Defendant Could Not Have Had Motive For Crime With Which He la Now Charged 'My father told me that he war afrld of Clark." That statement from Fred Yelkls, Ihe son of Indian Henry and the boy who according to tribal custom woulJ have been the next t hief of the Mo lullas, was one of the most sensation al developments of the murder trial now occupying Ihe attention of the circuit court. Throughout the day, witnesses foi Ihe defend had testified that Clark and Yelkls were on the best of terms and that they had been friends from time immemorial. The atate attempt cd to prove that the old chief was lu constant fear of the half breed and that he made various attempts to get rid of the man when they were alone together. "On to Molalla." It was also brought out that Henry had wanted to camp at the home of the Garretts and that Ciurk bad said. On to Molalla." The last seen of the two was that drive out of the gate of the Garrett home and the sight of ihe wagon as it went on a trot across the little brldg and down the road to the new city. Within a mile and a half or the town, the state Bays that driver drew in the reins, the horses slopped and the wagon came to a vtandsllll underneath the overhanging boughs of a cluster of trees where Henry luter met his death. Clark was on the stand and explain ed the differences in his stories by Buying that he was afraid of the offi cers and that he did not know what they were going to do to him because he saw that tbey at once suspected him of the crime. He repeated the Btatement that be bad found Henry dead when be arose in the morning and that be went for help and later dragged the old Indian across the road to the ditch out of the way. Father Feared Clark. Fred Yelkls. the son of the chief. said that he knew his father was afraid of the defendant and that only when the Bon was around was the father satisfied to have Clark with him. In hlg opening argument, Gilbert L. Hedges, county attorney, traced the two men from the time that they left Mt. Angel until they arrived at the Garrett home, pointed them out as the wagon wended Its way out of sight of the watchers and started on the deatn ride to the city of Molalla. He said that within but oie ruile and a half of the city the man who had been most determined to hla cry of "On to Molalla" drew In the reins and the horses came to a standstill under neath the cover of the trees when darkness bad fallen. He contended that Henry saw through the alleged plot in the mind of Clark, that he wanted to go on to Mo lalla then at all costs, and that he was determined to make It even if be had to walk. Clark Struck Blow. Just as be started on the trip, the prosecuting attorney said. Clark said "that his victim was getting away from him and that the time had come to act. He ran out Into the middle of road, grabbed a stake from the camp ing equipment, and struck the old In dian chief the blow on the bead that accomplished the end of the plot and that resulted In the old warrior's death. "But Clark was not through. All along that ride b' mind had been working on the best way by which be could get the money that he knew Indian Henry had at the time. The pockets were rifled and the lining of some of them had not been replaced as the black hand of the robber with drew the contents of the purse. Some where underneath that clump of trees where the old Indian met bis death lies today the purse with the rest of the money that had been taken from his pockets as be laid could In death on the dusty county road within but a short distance from the city of Molalla. Well may he now come Into this court and plead that he was a friend of Henry's when the body of that old chief lies under the Molalla sod and bis lips are forever silenced by the blow dealt on that lonely road. The defense will continue the argu ment at the morning session of the court Thursday and the case will probably go to the jury before noon. GARFIELD SCHOOL Garfield school, whtcb was the first In the county to meet with the stand ardization requirements, was the scene of a rally Thursday afternoon under the direction of Supervisor H. M. James. After a program, which Included speeches by M. S.Plttman, of the state normal school, and a talk by County Superintendant J. E. Callavan on standardization in schools, the ladles of the district served lunch. The school was the first to meet the requirements and become standard ized. The work was begun last year in Installing a new and modern beat ing plant, in overhauling the grounds, and In putting new equipment In the school. . . ,," - His Stomach Troubles Over. '' lUr.

MANY HEAR TALKS ON SOCIAL HYGIENE The Social Hygiene society held a successful parent's meeting Wednes day evening at the commercial club parlors. J. E. Htdges, after giving an outline of the work of the society Introduced the first speaker of the evening, W. G. Eliot, Jr., of Portland who spoke from the layman's standpoint regard lug Ihe general lack of Information along social lines and the Importance of laying the situation before the par ents who should strive to keep the con fldenc.e of the children. Mr. Kllot Introduced Dr. U. T. WII-llnms-m of Portland, who gave an ex cellent talk, full of facts of vital im portance 10 Individuals and the com munity. Th s was the first of a series or elLht meetings to be given In this city. Two meetings for both nv-n and, rary 16, at 8 o'clock, one In the hlga school auditorium to be addressed . W. A. Huntley and the other In the commercial club parlors where J. E. Hedges and Dr. W. E. Hempstead will speak. The local committee feels that tnls Is an Important subject In the up building of the community and hopes hat many persons will lend encour- ngeaient to the work bv attendance. NEW HAN TO HEAD BOOSTERS OF CITY Saturday night the Commercial club of Oregon City will have Its regular election of officers. Three members of the board of governors will also be chosen at that time. H. T. VM'n'n. the retiring president, has announced that his business af fairs will so materially interfere with his work that It will be Impossible for him to again head the club through the year and that he would not consider re-election under an circumstances. The meeting will Include all or the members of the club and will be held in the parlors of the organization at 8 o'clock. The election of the new president will probably also mean the appointment of new commltteea or tne reappointment of the ones now in charge of matters in which the club is Interested. UNRULY BOYS GET The lack of proper school manage ment and the fact that a more or less Inexperienced girl had to handle a mob of unruly boys was brought out as part of the defense In the trial or John An derson, charged with assaulting the Yoder boy in the Whiskey Hill dis trict, Anderson claimed that be had to cross the school yard to get to his farm and that the boys always made life miserable for blm when he passed through the crowd. They frequently called him names and tried to get him angry, he said, as he went across the yard. Finally, he got enough of It and knocked one of the boys down and was promptly arrested on the charge of striking a minor. He was acquitted by a Jury before Justice John N. Seivers. Grant B. Dimick conduct ed the defense. ROAD DISTRICTS ALL IT The county court spent Wednesday working on the appointments or road supervisors ror the 59 different dis tricts or the county. The court was in session all day but the work was not completed.
