JACK HAMILTON KILLED BY FALL FROM MACHINE Jack Hamilton, 70-year-old bridge watchman at Oregon City, whose wife and daughter live at 77th street and Powell Valley road, was killed on Thursday of last week while per forming hi* duties in the Clackamas county city. Mr. Hamilton had arrested William Schmitt of Oregon City for violating traffic rules on the Oregon City- West Linn bridge. The aged deputy, after halting the car, jumped on the running board and ordered Schmitx to drive to the sheriffs office. As the machine left the bridge Hamilton was seen to fall from the running hoard to the pavement. Schmitx de ni«*! knowing of the man's fall until passersby shouted to him. Mr. Hani- ilton's skull was fractured, resulting in death. The bridge crossing the Willam ette at Oregon City has been in an unsafe condition, through long us age, and an officer has been sta tioned there for some months to pre vent auto traffic endangering the structure. The voters npproved of a bond issue which would have provid ed funds for a new bridge but the supreme court ruled th«1 measure a* having been passed in violation of * section of the constitution.

SCOTT HUMORIST MANY ACTIVITIES AT JOKES CITY FATHERS WOODMERE SCHOOL Once upon a time E. F. Stout was a parachute jumper. That was some thing like 30 year* ago. He has since “settled down” and the settling place happened to be out in the Mt- Scott district. The pioneer made his first public «peech Wednesday. It was on the occasion of the Foster Road hearing before the city council. He is an ardent advocate of a drainage sewer along the roadway. When he asked for permission to speak he did n’t at first appear to be much of an i ofator. And no one remotely sus pected he was a humorist. But Daniel Webster and Henry Clay and Patrick Henry and Arte mus Ward all rolled into a composite talker couldn't have made more of an impression than did this fiery, droll citixen from the suburbs. May or Baker got up and shook hands with Stout in the middle of his talk and the galleries set up a deafening applause. “Wa are certainly in the mud out our way,” declared Stout at one point in his speech, “and we need that sew er. Why. the only thing you can drive through Mt. Scott in the win ter time is a snake and tha’d have to be a water snake.” “Will you give us a balloon ascen sion if you get your sewer?” asked Commissioner Mann, with facetious intent, as Stout concluded his argu ments. “You bet I will,’’ was the quick re- tort, “and I’ll take you up with me and cut the rope." —Portland News. NO MORE FREE WATER FOR USE ON GARDEN LOTS Free water service for gardens on t vacant __________ „_____ ____ ~ lots, _____ inaugurated during the. war by the citv water bureau, will be entirely discontinuexi this summer, Commissioner Mann an nounced this week. Abuse of the privilege by water u*ers in the __ _____ main _____ reason advanced by Mnnn in announcing the discon tinuance of the service. He states that during the past three years hun dreds of resident* on a flat rate used water morning, noon and night on vacant lots, while those who de sired the same privilege under the meter system were forced to pay for all water used. Mann point out that it would necessitate the employment of several inspectors in the water bu reau to check up on residents if the free service was continued. “The war is over and we must dis continue the service,” said Mann. A charge of 33 a year will be made hy the water bureau for vacant lots adjoining a dwelling. Throe thous and five hundred applications for free water were received last year. Mann announced. Notice of the dis continuance of free water service this summer was given last year, accord ■ng to Mann. The Parent-Teacher* met yester day afternoon. The program was in charge of the past presidents, repre sented by Mrs. Geo. Stoner. Mrs. Wilson, dean of girl* at Franklin high, talked to mother* and eighth grade girls furnished music. Mrs. Somer* and Mr. Walrod vis ited the school thia week. Mr*. Thompson. Bruce Evans and Rev. Sibley were guests at the regu Mr. lar weekly assembly Tuesday. Evans talked to the children on "Making Good” and declared he waa glad to address the school that had the beat ball team in th* section. He compared California With them but the children of Woodmere are very sure that When Mr. Evana really knows the people of Oregon he will no longer talk California. To the children of Woodmere there are just two classes of people, those who know Oregon and those who do not. Mr.. Evans advised the children to choose a high ideal and hew close to the line His talk was full of “pep" and he ia welcome to talk to Wood- mere pupils any time he Co^'se*.
