In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon,, for the County of Clacka mas. Minnie M. Frankland, Plaintiff, vs. Warren H. Frankland, Defendant. To Warren H. Frankland, the above named defendant: In the name of the State of Oregon: You are hereby required to appear and answer the complaint filed against you in the above entitled suit, on or before the 24th day of July, 1908, said date being six weeks after the date of the first publication of this summons. and if you fail to appear and answer said complaint, for want thereof, plaintiff will apply to the Court for the relief prayed for In her said com plaint, viz.: For a decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony now existing between plaintiff and defendant, for the care, custody and control of Law- rence R. Frankland, the minor child mentioned in plaintiff's complaint, and that plaintiff be illowed to resume her maiden name, that of Minnie M Harrington, and for such other and further relief as to this Court may seem meet and equitable. This summons is published by order of Honorable Thomas A. McBrjde, Judge of the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Clackamas Coun ty, made and entered on the 9th day of June, 1908. That the date of the first publics tion of this summons is June 12th 1908, and the date of the last publlca- tion thereof is July 24th, 1908, and the time ordered for the publication of this summons Is six consecutive and successive weeks from and after June 12th, 1908. v DIMICK & DIMICK, Attorneys for Plaintiff. mm It was Mrs. Jameson who wrote "a bond Is necessary to complete our be ing, only we must be careful that the bond does not become bondage." Some of our towns, like Mil ford Center, O., for inrtance, that have abandoned mu nicipal ownership, but are still kept busy paying for it, would have done well to have cut this wise saying out and pasted It In the municipal hat be fore proceeding further in their Uto pian schemes. The man who said that figures never lie would probably have modified his assertion somewhat If he had hired an expert accountant to go over the ac counts of these very profitable munici pal ownership ventures that so success fully "reduce" taxation In British com munities while multiplying the public debt by 19, as In case of Birmingham. A figure may be the most truthful thing In the world and yet betray vast Imaginative powers when It gets down to business in the hands of an official "reporter" who wants to hold his Job. The verb "to graft" means to insert Into a plant that Is to say, when you Insert a politician Into a gas plant, or a power plant, or an electric light plant, or a street car plant, you get a complete case of graft Whatever may be said against municipal ownership, on its behalf it must be admitted that for the expert professional grafter it affords an abundant field of endeavor and one which be most assuredly will not let die of neglect The only ques tion Is whether or not the process will Improve the breed. It The Inevitable Issue of the Tom Johnson system of municipal owner ship of the street railways will be the establishment of the zone system of fare collection that Is, Instead of one fare the consumer will be called upon to pay three or four fures unless, of course, he prefers the ozone system, which Involves the return to the old fashioned method of transportation known as 'hank's mare," so popular with our forefathers. K It is reported that the municipal pawnshops of Paris are a failure. It Is a pity. It will keep the British hu morists from talking about municipal loanership, and that will be a real loss to lovers of that particular kind of humor all over the world. l When Tammany gets control of all New York's public utilities, will Tam many Hall be' known as the power house or the grand central station?

By a vote of 142 to 18 this village re cently decided to sell for $8,000 the electric light plant, installed in 1902, and the waterworks (except the dis tributing system), Installed in 1890. The original cost of the latter was $8, 000, while $16,000 had been expended on the former. As a result of placing these plants In a public street the vil lage bad been engaged in litigation for five years, the final decision being against It In 1905 the building was destroyed by fire. Although it was insured and rebuilt the plant has not been well kept up since, and there have been the usual differences between'the coun cil, the superintendent and the water and light board, finally resulting In abolishing the board. An investigation by the council dis closed the fact that, aside from depre ciation, the plant was losing at least $500 a year and that this loss would be considerably increased if they un dertook to give the twenty-four hour service desired by some of the citizens. Their deelslpn was unanimous and was sustained by an almost unanimous vote of the qualified electors. The Oregon SUSPENSION BRIDGE CORNER City Jewelers OREGON CITY, OREGON Summons.

PEARCY & WINTLER, Attorneys for Plaintiff. Clackamas. Friday afternoon. May 29, the pupils of the public school rendered a very enjoyable programme In honor of two graduates from the ninth grade, Opal Langenberg and Mary Flaherty.

Of Miss Munson's pupils, Her bert Holcomb, had made the same i-ec-ord. An epidemic of mumps had spoiled the otherwise faithful attend ance of a good many scholars. A tew words of commendation for teachers' and pupils were given by Mrs. W. B. Moore, Mis. Langsborg and the writ er. The Mothers Club held a short session after the school was dismissed. It was voted, by motion, that each member of the club pay ten cents into the treasury to make up the Bum nec essary to buy a cover for the organ.

Miss Opal Langenberg entertained a pleasant party of young people last Saturday eveuing. The Sunday School of the Congrega tional church held Children's Day ser vice Sunday, May 31. The decorations, especially the screen of ferns and ros es, were very beautiful. A good pro gram was rendered, and a generous collection taken for the benefit of Mission Sunday schools in tne state. The Clackamas baseball team play ed against Damascus and Oak Grove, Sunday afternoon. The home team beat Damascus 20 to 1, and also beat Oak Grove 7 to 5. Election day passed quietly, seem ingly none the worse for having "the women" exercising their right of cook ing and serving good .meals. The Lad ies' Aid netted $19.50 for the treas ury, and had a very pleasant social time. The young people of the C. E. society served ice cream and cake and netted a neat little sum. The funeral services of the wife of Charlie Naas, former resident of this place, were held In the Congregation al church on Memorial Day. A little company of veterans followed the pro cession to the Clackamas cemetery, and decorated the graves of their comrades. Altogether the observance of the day was rather unusual and sad.
