FOR GOVERNOR
STATE HOUSE, Salem, Feb. 22.
The senate Monday afternoon by a
vete of 23 to 7 went on record
favoring an Increase in the salary of
the governor from $5000 to $7500 a
year.
The bill, providing for the proposea
increase, came In from the commit
tee on county and state officials with
out recommendations and was placed
on third reading through suspension
of the rules.
Senator Lachmund, author of the
bill, in advocating its passage de
clared that It was a notorious fact
that the salary of the governor was
entriely inadequate to meet the manj
demands made upon that official.

Mr. Cross also spoke on the road

amounts totalling over a half million
dollars, which he said was up to the
court to provide, including $359,000
road fund debt, $225,000 asked by the
state higwhay commission for work
done in this county. $120,000 for

which has been pledged toward the
construction of a new bridge across

the Clackamas at Parkplace is to
cost $49,000, and a number of other
bridges in the county have been
found to be in bad repair and danger

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 22.
President Wilson today expressed the
determination to devote himself on
retirement to private life to a con
tinuation of his efforts toward world
peace. He made his first public utter
ance since the electionMn receiving a
delegation from the Wood row Wilson
club of Harvard university.
After their visit the delegates
stated they were "deeply impressed
with the great heart of the president
and deeply touched by the president's
faith in the ultimate accomplishment
of his efforts towards, peace and by
the almost brilliant good humor with
which he is leaving, the White House.
He received the group in the com
pany of Mrs. Wilson in his study. He
said he would leave to historians the
task of interpreting the events of the
Paris peace conference.
If he ever devoted himself again to
writing, he declared, it would be
along impersonal lines.
Robert C. Stuart Jr., who headed
the delegation, told the president thai
the club he represented wished upon
the anniversary of the birth of Wash
ington to extend their greeting, to
"'you. the great American of our gen
eration," and that inspired by Wilson
ian ideals, the club purposed to per
petuate the ideals to which the presi
dent had given concrete expression.
Mrs. Wilson, who was standing be
side the president, apparently much
moved by the tribute expressed by
the college men, expressed a wish
that she might make a speech, but
said she would not because she never
had.

stock Prohibiting fraudulent bidding

fixing penalty.
During a period of inflation and extravagance
people get into wasteful ways, particularly if they are
handling other people's money.
Here is a case that some one was telling of the
other day. A certain railroad runs a branch line on
which it has a little flag station serving a small village
There are five trains a day each way, and the station
has to be opened and closed when they go through.
For many years the road hired an old man who
lived close by, to come over and open up the station.
This man was not able to do much work, and he used
to spend the rest of his time raising vegetables and doing
light work in the neighborhood. The total time requir
ed was not over three hours a day, and the job could be
combined with other work. The railroad paid for many
years about $200.00 a year, and the old man was thank
ful to get the chance.
Then war time conditions came along. The rail
roads were required to standardize their jobs and pay
minimum rates. The work of opening up that station,
which formerly cost but $200.00 a year, was now stan
dardized at $35.00 per week, or $1750.00 a year. An
able bodied man took the work and loafed around most
of the time. A man running a private business would
no doubt have had to pay much more than $200.00 for
that work in these times, but it would not have cost him
anything like $1750.00. Cases like this are said to be
common on many railroads.
Some people will say the railroads are to blame for
these wasteful ways. Others will lay it to practice intro
duced during government operation. The railroads say
that the labor unions compel them to pay exorbitant
rates, and will not allow exceptions to be made in special
cases. But whoever is to blame, money is wasted by the
failure of common sense somewhere, and ' the . public
pays the cost in high transportation rates.
A man can build aircastles regardless of what the
bricklayers union says about wages.
The man who has money in the bank instead of
having a note come due is doubly fortunate.
Blushing is not one of the lost arts; it has only been
superseded temporarily by rouge.
- Nearly, avery man can see where human nature
could be improved by following his own pattern.

PORTLAND, Feb. 22 With two
bullet wounds through the head, but
with clothes immaculate, the body
of an unidentified man, aged about
30, was discovered late yesterday af
ternoon on the Barnes road, four mil
es west of the city, by girls of the
Richmond, district Campfire circle.
The girls under the leadership of
Mrs. A. H. Feldman, 1029 East Lin
coln street, stumbled across the body
as it lay hidden by a small pile of
underbrush by the aide of the road.
All indications pointed to murder,
according to the police and the cor
oner's office.
The man had not been dead more
than 72 hours, according to the cor
oner. The features or the arce nave
been almost destroyed. An expensive
blue serge suit covered the body. The
hat was found about 20 feet from
where the body lay.
The man was about 5 feet 8 inch
es tall, weighing 145 to 150 pounds.
The police began working on several
clews in an attempt to identify the
body. Laundry marks on an ex
pensive silk shirt formed the mam
hope of the authorities to accomplish
identification.
The body was discovered on land
of the Hoffman ranch, about one-halt
mile up the grade of a steep hill. It
was brought to the morgue shortly
before 6 o'clock.
One of the bullet wounds was in
the exact eenter of the man's fore
head. The other was behind and be
neath the- lobe of the right ear, dis
pelling the probability of suicide.

"Not Guilty" Says Jury
"
This Is Prune Week
Everybody Eat Prunes
Hurrah for the little prune. This
is prune week, and a jury in the jus
tice court yesterday afternoon must
of had this In mind when" C. Collins
and "Ace" Silvia were found "not
guilty" for having intoxicating liquors
in their possession.
Collins and Sllva were arrested at
Canby by Sheriff "Wilson and deput
ies a few days ago accused of having
intoxicating liquors in their posses
sion. The two men appeared in court
yesterday afternoon, and their at
torney, Grant B. Dimick alleged that
the mien were in the crawfish busi
ness and used the alleged liquor, or
prune juice to cook crawfish in.
Livy Stipp, district attorney; In
presenting the state's case, alleged
that the prune juice had been tested
by a chemist and that it contained 11
per cent alcohol.
However, the attorney for the de
fense claimed that the juice from the
prunes was used by the defendants
to prepare their product for the mar
ket and that the liquid was unfit to
drink. Attorney Dimick also roasted
"long haired, pointed chin inform
ants" for accusing the two men one
blind of "moonshining" and causea
considerable amusement in court by
his rapid-fire remarks on the suo-
ject.
The case was finally put up to the
jury, which was out just about fifteen
minutes, bringing in a verdict of "not
guilty." t
Silva, one of the accused men, is
blind, and makes a business of catch
ing crawfish lor the market from the
waters of the Willamette river near
Canby.
The bridge department of the
State Highway commission will shut
up shop ao far as Oregon City is con
cerned and has directed its resident
engmeer, Stuart Mitchell, to close
his office here and has transferred him
to Roseburg, where he will supervise
the construction of several highway
bridges In Douglas county.- The high
way commission has held a resident
engineer here for some time, with
offices in the Commercial club that
the club has provided without charge,
in the hope that the engineering de
partment might be of service in the
construction of a new bridge across
the Willamette river at Oregon City.
The failure of the Clackamas coun
ty court and the highway commission
to reach an agreement over the new
bridge - is due to the refusal of the
county court to acknowledge an in
debtedness of about $220,000, which
has( been advanced by the highway
commission to cover the cost of new
bridges and of grading- on the Pacific
highway in Clackamas county. The
court is understood to have entered
into a verbal agreement with the com
mission to reimburse the commission,
but to -date has failed to make a form
al acknowledgement of the debt, and
unless this Is done the commission
will decline to shoulder $250,000 of
the cost of a new bridge, the estimat
ed cost of which is more than $350,-
000, the county having been authoriz
ed to issue bridge bonds up to $105,-
000. On the other hand, if the court
will make good Its promise to reim
burse the commission for the bridges
and grading on the highway, the com
mission will take care of the cost of
a modern steel and concrete bridge,
over and above $105,000 that the
over and above $105,000 that the coun
ty is authorized by the people, to pay.
If the Ryan bill, directing the high
way commission to- take the bridge
bonds and build the bridge, should
pass, then the county is in the clear,
but if the bill should fail to pass,
then the court may face the alternat
ive of erecting a cheap bridge at a
cost of around $125,000. The busi
ness men and taxpayers of Oregon
City and West Linn are generally op
posed to the latter program.
The members of the county court
feel that the coat of grading and ot
bridges along the highway has beeD
excessive. The commission has gone
to the expense of taking new routes
along the highway, adding- to the grad
ing cost. The bridge over Sucker
creek has cost $65,000 and another
bridge over the Molalla river has been
constructed at a cost of about $57,000.
The bridges are too elaborate and
costly to be justified for local traffic
is contended by the county court.

SOLDIERS BONOS
SHOULD BE PAID
SAYS BROWNELL
"American soldiers, who served so
valiantly in France to keep this coun
try free from 'Kaiserism' should re
ceive some kind of compensation, and
if the people don't vote the bonus
for the soldier boys of the world war,
I will be a sadlv disarninfevl man "
The above remarks were made by
Hon. George C. Brownell, in his
Washington Day address yesterday
afternoon, before a crowded bouse at
tending the local American Legion
program. Mr. Brownell probably
made one of the best patriotic ad
dresses ever heard by a Clackamas
county audience, and his eulogy on
the life of Washington and Lincoln
was a masterpiece. Starting from
Washington's time and (gradually
working up to the present, he held
his audience for over two hours in
the grip of his vivid and intensely
interesting story.
Major Wm. Logus, veteran of two
wars, presided at the meeting; and
introducing Brownell to the gather
ing, said: "Ever since I was a kid
when I stopped shooting fire-crackers
at a Fourth of July celebration
one time to listen to Mr. Brownell, I
have tried to hear every address that
he has given in Clackamas county. 1
figured If he could make me quit
shooting those firecrackers while I was
still a boy by holding me spellbound
by his oratory, he was worth listen
ing to later on."
The program was an excellent one,
and the G. A. R. fife and drum corps
enlivened things up by the playine
of "Turkey and the Straw" and mar
tial airs. Opening remarks by Rev.
H. G. Edgar, violin solo by Fred
Harvey; drill by scholars of the East
ham school; were all heartily ap- '
plauded by the large audience. Ot
special mention was the vocal solos
by Mrs. Malva Bolle, who sang "My
Own United States" and who was call
ed back again by hearty applause; and
vocal solo by Miss Gladys Trimble,
who thrilled the audience by the sing
ing of "Star Spangled Banner." A
reading by Mrs. Walter Bennett and
Miss Wilma BonDurant was well received.

SALEM, Or., Feb. 21 (Special to
the Enterprise) The Ryan fish bill
regulating the taking of fish in the
Willamette river, passed the house
late this afternoon with 36 favorable
votes, over the strong protest of
Representative McFarland and Hind
man of Multnomah.
According to Representatives Ham

port of the bill, which has been pass
ed by the senate and is now ready
for the signature of the governor,
the bill is satisfactory to the Oregon
City commercial fishermen and the
Oregon City sportsmen.
T live in Oregon City," said Stone,
"and the sportsmen, who are Just as
blue blooded as the sportsmen or

As amended and finally agreed up
on, the bill which carries the emer

pension bridge at Seventh street in
Oregon City shall be the dead line and
that it shall be unlawful to fish ex
cept with hook and line north of the
bridge between March 15, noon and
May 10, noon, and from June 15, noon
to December 1, noon.
The bill also fixes the limit at three
salmon in one day to be taken with
hook and line, and provides that
there shall not be more angling oi

The bill increasing the salary of
the school superintendent of Clacka

year, passed the senate yesterday af

or Olcott to sign. While some agita

could not agree on the matter, and de
voted its efforts on the superintend

When -the superintendent's salary
bill came up for consideration before
the salaries committees of the house
and senate, a delegation of Clacka

Salem to urge its passage, and it is
claimed that their attitude on the
matter had considerable bearing on a

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. (Special
correspondence) "The work of tne
Federal Farm Loan Bureau,' says
Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyom
ing, Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, "seems to have been
stopped entirely by suits that have
been instituted, at least one of which
is before the supreme court." Be
cause of those suits the bureau is un
able to extend the aid to the farmers
that was intended by congress in
creating it. To meet the difficulty,
Senator Warren secured the adop
tion by the Senate of an amendment
to the Legislative Appropriation Bill
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to purchase $100,000,000 worth
of Farm Loan Bonds during each of
the fiscal years 1921 and 1922. If
the provision finally becomes law, it
means that the farmers will be given
a credit of that amount between now
and June 30 of this year, and an ad
ditional credit of the same sum for
the ensuing year. "It is to provide
for the immediate and pressing neces
sities of those farmers and lana
holders," says Senator Warren, "who
are unable to procure the money else
where, and who cannot get It through
the federal land banks.' " '
UNITED STATES
WILL STICK FOR
EQUAL RIGHTS
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 22.
Equal opportunities for citizens of all
allied and associated powers whether
members of the league of nations or
not, in former enemy territories to be
administered by the allied govern
ments under mandates is insisted up
on in a note dispatched by the state
department to the league at Paris.
The note went last night to Ambas
sador Wallace, who is to present It
tomorrow. State department officials
described it as being virtually iden
tical with the one sent to Great Brit
ain last November by Secretary Col
by.
That note was couched in firm lan
guage. Mr. Colby took issue with
the British position that mandate
agreements and treaties were to be
considered only by members of the
league, and declared that the United
States as a contributor to the Victory
in the war could not -consider "any
of the associated powers debarred .
. . from participation in the
rights and privileges secured under
the mandates.'
