Howard McClellan Killed By Accident Howard, 14 year old son of T. Y. McClellan, the West Stayton merchant, wa« found lying dead in the road about half u mile from hi« home, by a neighbor, Mr. Hookatraw, ubout 7 o’clock Monday morning. The horse he had been riding was lying be side him and nearly dead. The boy, Sunday evening, Btarted about dusk, on horseback, for Mr. Hooksttraw’s place intending to borrow a saddle. His folks, supposing he had come home and gone to bed after they had retired, thought he was in his room until Mr. Hookatraw told them of their terrible loss. It is supposed the boy was riding pretty fast and there being a slight raise in the road caused the horse to stumble and fall. While nothing, of course, i s known as to the m atter it is suposed the boy was killed in stantly, his injuries indicating that. The horse was so badly injured that he was shot to end his suffering. Howard was a bright manly boy, and he will be sadly missed by the neighbors with whom he was a general favorite. His un timely death has cast a feeling of gloom over the entire town wjijcji extends to the beroaveed family its profound sympathy. Funeral service] was held at the home Tuesday afternoon con ducted by Itev. It. L. Putman of Forest Grove. Interm ent was in the Warren cemetery near Silverton. Geo.

Equal Rights August Busy Month Under the Flag for Rural Carriers It cannot be denied th a t Teddy Hoosevelt is some considerable friend' of organized labor. He has l»een an honest, sincere and helpful friend of the working people. At the Carnegie Hall recep tion to the Hussian envoys he took exception to the effortj of Samuel Gnmpers to v hitewash the East St. Ixiuis outrage and murder of Afro-Americans. Gompers undertook to excuse the responsibility of radical labor leaders who advertised a ikce riot three days in advance and pulled it ofr on schedule time and with full stage settings. The square American issue is this- Shall American citizens have a right peacefully to seek lul>or anywhere under the broad domain of the stars and stripes and be protected by law? There are many places in the United States where the colored men and women would be a wel come addition to the labor sup ply, but they are barred from some sections by tyranny of tjpo radical unionism. Dictatorship is a worse form of slavery than existed before the civil war, because as slaves the negroes were assured a liv ing which the right to go out and get it is now denied. The issue before the American people is plainly whether an American citizen, white or black y^tow or red, shall b o -en tn lv l .. equal nrnflW:on to the protection flf of thfi the laws a n d their enforcement against violators? That is the platform which the San Francisco Chamber of Com- merce is seeking to make state wide and nation-wide. The rural carriers on all the routes will weigh and count all mail received and delivered dur ing the month of August. This will entail considerable work on the part of the carriers, but the more mail they have to count the better they will be suited, as each carrier desires his route to make a good showing. If you are a patron of a rural route and wish to encourage the carrier and give your route a good show ing with the post-office depart- ment, now is a good time to re P'V to that unanswered letter, write to some almost forgotten friend- remember some friend with a present by mail, purchase y°ur mail-order goods for fall, or do anything else that will add to the business on the route for this month. We are sure all car riers will appreciate your help. Serial No. 1120 Tank Blows Up Last Sunday morning the soda fountain tank at Beauchamp’s Drug store blew up but did no serious damage. The gauge that registers the pressure failed to work and Harvey had no way of telling the amount of pressure so thought he would give it a little more and in so doing overloaded it causing the explosion blowing out the whole side of the tank. The report from the explosion sounded like the heavy artillery from some of the belligerent na tions now at war had been turned loose, and Harv ey has been going around on one foot since as the force of the explosion blew him about ten -feet and hurt his left limb so as to impair the proper use of same. Large Crowd at The Opening One of the largest crowds ever seen s t an opening r ’e of any kind gathered in Stayton last Friday morning to get some of the bargains being given in the opening sale of the M< rket- eria Grocery Co. Long t fore time for the store to open the street was crowded and the mo ment the doors swung open the crowd rushed in and fairly swamped the force notwith standing the fact that there was a large force of clerks to wait on the people. One unique feature of the sale and one that was comment ed on by a large number of peo ple was the fact that all the change handed out that day was of the 1917 coinage. Many per sons had not seen the new quar ters. dimes and halves before.
