Thn resolution provides that the council of tho city across the river shall appoint a committee to confer wlih a corresponding committee from Oregon City to arrange for a Joint wa ter system. It was hinted In the meet ing Tuesday evening that the city of West l.lnn would probably be willing to aland a share of the construction of the ayatem and would expect to have an active hand In llio management of the Hue. At the present time the Oregon City authorities plan to bond this city for $:l!5,noo with which to construct a pipe linn from the south fork of the Clackamas river to Oregon City. The council haa the routine work of es tablishing a water committee well un der way and It la planned to call a special election some time during the coming month. Hut If this resolution as passed by the West Linn council Is carried out all the present plan of the Oregon City good water boosters tnny be ren dered useless. ' In order to allow the neighboring city to take an active hnnd In the construction of the line and to stand a share of the expenses of the project It would be necessary to reorganlto the water commltte, to redraft the amendment to tho Oregon City charter, to draw up correspond ing measures for West Linn, and to provide for an election for that city as well. Tho Oregon City rouncll will meet Wednesday evening for Its regular monthly meeting and It In probable that at that time the matter will be brought before that body.

Hedges, secretary of the board of water commissioners, crossed swords Tuesday In a verbal tilt with Or. 0. A. Morls. chairman of the Pure tVaiHP Iwfiirun. who la hrnmoltiiff a cam paign for a bond Issue of $.!25,000 to bring a new supply of water from the south fork of the Clackamas river. Mr l(riee read at teneth from bac teriological authorities. Ho said that nnl mnnv nennle know what bacteria and colon bacilli really are, and he Insisted that many false and slander ous statements had been made against thn water supply or Oregon city, one partially to prejudice. He asserted that Oregon City has the purest water at the faucet In the entire state. Refutes Statement. Mr. Morris and L. Stlpp controvert ed thn statements of Mr. Hedges. He said tho danger In the present suppy of water waa In the fact that the source waa contaminated by human sewage. He admitted that the pres ence of some bacteria In water did not conclusively prove lis Impurity, but declared water was In serious danger from pollution when the source waa considered. According to Mr. Btlpp, the one man who Is responsible for the discovery of the south fork of the Clackamas as a source of supply is Ernest P. Rands, who took the matter up with Dr. Mbr- rls and himself, and at a conference attended by Or. H. 8. Mount and 11. T. Mcllaln, It was determined to get the matter before the people. West Linn Wants Water. I H. L. Moody, of the Moody Invest-' ment Co., who Is marketing property In West Linn, said his community is anxious to aecure pure water and would like to get It from Oregon City.1 He confirmed a stntement of Mr. Hed-' ges that he had applied to the board of wnter commissioners for permis sion to use a part of the present sup ply that came from the filters, but per mission was refused on the ground of scarcity of water. Mr. Moody declared the public at large Is afraid of Oregon City water and argued that the de velopment of the country adjacent de mands a supply of absolute and un questioned purity. "You cannot weigh the cost of hu man life against contaminated water,' concluded Mr. Moody. ' George Randall defended the pres ent supply and Insisted that the fil tered water Is pure. Scarcity of Housea Mentioned. The lack of accomodations for fam ilies In Oregon City was again the subject for discussion. John Loder sa'd there Is nt a vacant house In Oregon City and George Randall, who said he rented six or seven houses, de clared he did not receive more than 5 per rent net of his Investment. H. L. Moody offered a good site in West Linn for a Y. M. C. A. or Y. W. C. A. The cluster light quesMon waa again d'scussed and George Randall was added to the committee. F. A. Olmsted, who presided, asked the members of the Live Wires to give him memoranda of the most import ant subject. In their Judgment, to be taken up by the organzation. The fol lowing menu was served: Hull Run Cold Roast Tork Apple Sauce Mashed Potatoes Hrown Gravy Hot Biscuits F.gg Salad Sago Pudding Whipped Cream Coffee LIVE WIRE TOPICS AT H. E. Dr. T.'ll. Ford has made an Import ant change In the programme of his Sunday evening serv'res, and hereaf ter will give a prelude to the regular discourse on "live wire questions," of local interest. last Sunday evening he gave a pre lude on "The Need and Benefits of a Night School for Oregon City." He congratulated the women of the. city upon their foresight, and philanthro pic philosophy In leading In this move ment, and declared that such a school would be worth thousands of dollars to the city In Increasing the producing capacity of ninny who have not a good knowledge of the common English branches: in the bettering of the phys ical, social and moral conditions of those who were deprived of education-' al advantages in their earlier life; i in better homes and a better citizen ship. He said we owed this to our foreign speaking peoples, and those who were denied, or neglected oppor tunities In the days of their youth, and struggle today under consequent lim itations. A strong plea was made for the support of this new movement. Next Sunday evening the subject of Dr. Ford's prelude will be, "Responsi bilities of the Citizen In the Present Political Crisis." Dr. Fords says. "He does not say all he thinks, but he thinks all he says." FOR RE-ELECTION John Slevers filed his petition with the county clerk for re-eb ctlon to Jus tice of the peace Thursday afternoon. He has held the position for about a year, having been appointed by the county court upon thfc death of W. W. H. Sampson. He Is running on tbe Republican ticket and so far It the only one to announce himself for the position. ItERMN, Feb. 28. In a statement of 11,000 words, Admiral von Olederichs replied today to Admiral Dewey's ver sion of the International Incidents In Manila Hay In 1S!)X. He says Admiral Dewey threatened the German with war If they did not cease Interfering with blockade regulation;. Admiral Dewey Is declared to have been laboring under great tenalon. Ilrltlsh Interests are accused of fan ning the flame. Admiral Diedrlchs concludes with the startling state ment: "It was even related that Admiral Dewey had already worked out a plan for the destruction of the German ships." The German admiral says that when Flag Lieutenant von Hlntze visited Admiral Dewey, this happened: "Admiral Dewey gradually talked himself Into a passion. He said, "Why I shall stop every vessel, whatever msy be her colors. And If she does not stop, I shall fire at ber. And that means war, do you know, sir?" Admiral von Dledericba makes the comment that Adlmral Dewey must have known a declaration of war did not depend on either admiral. He at tributes Admiral Dewey's conduct to nervousness arising from the weight of responsibility resting on him as commander of the blockading fleet, and from the rumors reaching him in regard to the falsity of the German.

Western Agents 11th and Main Sts., Oregon City Boys Start Wild Tramp Life But Are Sent Home Their Immaglnation fired by too fre quent visits to moving picture shows and wild visions of a tramp life, Clif ford Smith, age 12 years, and Klbert Prarle, a few months over 13 years, were taken by the local polled early Friday morning while the two boys were on their way through the beay rain from Portland to Canby.

On their way they picked up their out- j fits. All day Thursday they travelled. "We would go on the track until we got tired of walking the ties and then we would hit the road," said one of the boys In describing their adven tures. "We walked until we thought that it waa almost night and then we hunted for a place to camp. We found an old log cabin and wen Inside. We ate supper from the stuff we had brought along and then went to bed. After a while we woke up and thought it was morning only the sun bad not come up yet and so we got up. We did up our parks and started off down the track. After a while we came to Oregon City and the policemen found us." Each boy had a smai bundle with him. One was nothing but a sack while tbe other was a pack, although small. The pack contained a blanket, which was wet and soiled. The sack included in Its load five cans of milk, some sugar, coffee, and a piece of ba con. The boys had bought a loaf of bread but It did not last them through their first meal. The boys stoutly maintained that they never read the class of books known as "dime novels" but they they were great lovers of moving picture shows. They had planned the trip for a week before they started out, had saved up their money until they had $1.25 between them, and bad schemed out every detail of the Journey long before they left their home Thursday morning. Both boys are pupils In the Creston school. The parents of Clifford Smith, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Smith, live at 4320 East 47th street S. E.. and of Elbert Prairie at 4218, 46th avenue S. E..

Couple is Married In Doctor's Office In Record Time The medical examination of Benja min F. Townsend, the issuing of the license, and bis marriage to Miss May Porter, of Vancouver, Wash., all oc cured In a space of about 15 minutes Saturday afternoon. The young man, who makes his home at Salem, was ex amined by Dr. W: E .Hempstead and after the doctor gave him the certifi cate, remarked that the two would probably go to some other town than Oregon City to be married.
