OREGON CITY COURIER; FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1907.
SOLDIER BOYS
GETTING BUSY
: Petition Now Being; Circulated
For Company Here Prob
able Officers.
' The United State government has
..appropriated about $200,000 for the
use of the National Guard. i Each
.Btate is to draw from this ' sura,
amounts in proportion to the number
of men it has in aervice. During the
last meeting of the Oregon State leg
islature an appropriation of $100,000
was voted with which to build armor
ies In the different towns of Oregon
where companies of the national
guard are stationed,
i In ordar for Oregon City to draw
'froif'tle above funds the company
must fee organiod at once. It moans
considerable to the city whether this
company is formed or not, as an ar
mory here would mean the distribu
tion of several thousands of dollars
for material and labor. Oregon City
can not well afford to let an opportun
ity of this kind pass by. Mr. Fred
' Humphreys began circulating a pe
tition last Friday among the young
. men of the town who are interested
in the forming of a company of the
: National Guard in Oregon City.
Mr. Humphry is a young man of
considerable military experience, hav
ing served in the Phillipines In Com
pany M. of the Second regiment of
Oregon. Wm. E. Finzer, who is now
adjutant general of the Oregon Na
tional Guard was a lieutenant In this
company during the war in the Phil
lipines. Mr, Humphrys is working up
a great deal of enthusiasm among
the young men of the town,- and an
nounces that he considers It only a
matter of a few days until ho has
enough signatures to the petition to
warrant presenting the 'paper to tho
military board.
It has not yet been announced to
which branch of the service the
company would be attached but there
is some sontiment in favor of a com
pany of Coast Artillery. There are
some men In town who have had ex
perience in this branch of the ser
. vice, and they aro In favor of It. How
ever, there are also men In town who
have had experience In infantry, cav
alry, and light artillery. Tho mnttor
rests finally with tho Military Board,
and the Adjutant General, and the
new company will bo of whatever
branch may be the best. It Is said
that there Is at present but one com
pany of Coast Artillery in the Nation
al Guard on the Pacific Coast, and it
la thnnirlit tlmt tlinra In n flolri for.
this branch of the service. In drill, a
company 01 hub kiiiu uses u nmun
working model of a modern disap
pearing gun, and there is opportunity
for mathematical study, which is
lacking In the other branches.
Word has been receiver here that
tho mllltla company being formed at
McMlnnvllle Is meeting with much
support from the business men of
that town, and that there Is much .en
thusiasm among the young men there.
Oregon City will probably have a com
pany, but care is being taken by those
having the matter In chargo to get
, tho right sort of men in It.
' A company will be formed at SI1
vorton, and one at Pendleton, making
, a battalion of four companies. There
is a growing sentiment that Oregon
City does not wish to bo behind the
other companies In excellence, and
with this end In view, plans are being
made Blowly and carefully for the for
mation of the local company.
; It Is thought that Major F. A.
Loomls will bo tendered tho captain
cy of the now company when It Is
formed, and it Is also said that Fred
Humphrys will be offered a lieuten
ancy. Major Loomls comeB of a military
family, his ancestors having fought
In the war of tho Involution, and in
' every war the country has had bIiicp
then. Major Loomls linn hud a Rood
many years experience- in war mat
tors, having served In the New York
!, Btate field artillery flvo years, and In
the war with Spain ho was with tho
7th New York field artillery In tho
' Cuban campaign. Ho then went with
the 2nd United Statos Volunteer Iii-
funtry for threo years In tho Philip
pines, and has dono scouting duty In
the vicinity of tho National Park and
Fort Waslmkeo. Ho was also military
Instructor In the Indian service for
'three years..
INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE
t
f (Continued from Pnge One.)
r that tho Intention of tho company was
J to make the local company strictly a
, local concern, working for all that
concerned tho city In which It was lo
y cated.
After him a half dozen men from
tho county addressed the council urg
v lug the passngo of tho ordinance, and
flaying the Pacific States Co. for Its
Bhort coming nnd alleged Ill-treat men I
of the farmers and subscribers In the
i matter of rates and connections.
J. U. Campbell gave a short history
of the Independent movement In the
? county, tolling how the Farmers' Hue,
J, which tho Home Co. recently ncuulr
jced. was established to secure better
connections and rates, and mentioned
that the farmers wore shrewder busl
Vness mon that those In tho city, point
?, ing to their aghlovenient in bringing
' a fifty million dollar concern to Its
i knees through tho little company es-
tabllshed by them with only a few
' subscribers. Ho urged tlmt the ordi
nance be passed at once instead of
waltlug, as the other company desir
ed, saying that the contracts now held
by the Farmers' line would run out In
a short time.
George Hall could do nothing to
stem .the tide of sentiment In fim.r
of the Independent movement, al
though ho spoke at some length on
the subject of delaying the matter till
;his company had a chance to show
what it could do in ttie way of better
.service. There were plenty of re
plies to the effect that the company
had had a good many years to show
what it could do, and that nothing hud
been done until It was forced.
, When the discussion was terminat
ed, there was not a dissenting vote in
the passage of the ordinance.
The rest of the session was taken
up with minor matters of interest to
the city and its streets.
New Telephone Appliance.
An appliance new in tho telephone
business was put Into commission on
m 1 1 ! . -1. . .. . 1 . .. . I. . 1 - .1
arc rectifier was started to give the
storage battery Its initial charge. To
test out the new switchboard that the
Pacific States Co. is installing here.
a storage battery Is necessary, and
the charge for this Is being passed
through a rectifier, which serves to
dissipate the negative electricity and
store up only the positive In the bat
tery. The rectifier throws out a pe
culiar greenish light due to the fact
that the red rays uro absent from the
spectrum altogether. It will ' take
thirty-six hours to fill the storage battery.

Another chapter In the county road
trouble that has agitated the country
around Needy for the past twenty
five years was written yesterday
whon a warrant for the arrest of Lew
is Woodcock was sworn out.
' Woodcock started suit a few days
ago against Paul Schneider the road
supervisor In that district, and others,
asking $500 damages for the loss of
his fence. Some twenty-five years
ago, when the county . road through
Needy was laid out, the line fence on
the proporty now owned by Woodcock
had to be moved. The man who own
ed the property at that time refused
to move his fence, although all his
neighbors were public spirited enough
to givo up twenty feet of thwlr land
to make the forty-foot road. When
Woodcock came into possession of
the property, he refused to give up
the twenty feet of land that took up
half the road.
About six years ago the county
court ordered the road to be opened.
Woodcock got out an injunction re
straining the county from opening
the road which the courts decided was
Just. Next a petition ..was presented
to the county to lay out a new road,
which was done. Woodcock sued the
county for $500 damages, and was
allowed $1. After the termination of
this suit he got out another Injunc
tion restraining the county from open
ing this new road, which the court
dissolved, and the road waa opened.
Along the property owned by Wood
cock, however. It was only twenty
feet wide, because of the fenco that
stood in the middle.
Latoly Supervisor Schneider, with
his men, got busy and took out the
fence, and Woodcock again came Into
the courts with a suit for $500 dam
ages. The county thought It was
about time to take a hand, and the
warrant for the arrest of Woodcock
that was Issued yesterday is its move
to bring about a settlement of the
trouble.
This case has a special Interest for
Deputy District Attorney Dey in that
It Is the first case that he has had
to get out a complaint since he re
ceived his appointment. Former Dep
uty Schuebol Is assisting him in it for
the reason that Schuebel Is familiar
with the trouble from the beginning.
