Embroiled in Civil War
Mermeneukes Beats Up Countryman and
Chases Another With Revolver.
Fires Two Shots
Wildly excited and frantically ges
tulating. Macks Soterou, a resident
of the Greek Colony in West Oregon
City, crossed the suspension bridge
Wednesday evening, and finding Chief
Bruns, poured into his ear a torrent
of Greek and English. After much
difficulty, the official learned that one
Tom Mermeneuks, another Greek, had
fired two shots at Soterou, neither
taking effect. As the affair happened
in West Oregon City, and was thus
out of the police jurisdiction, Burns
referred the man to Deputy Sheriff
Baker, who brought him to Deputy
District Attorney Stipp. The trouble,
which has been brewing for some time
with occasional small outbreaks, start
ed in earnest Wednesday morning,
when Mermeneuks pummelled" Jim
Economos, another Greek, while at
work in the paper mills. A warrant
was sworn out charging him with
assault and battery, but the .wily
Greek had fled to Portland, hence
Constable Miles went In an endea
vor to apprehend him. Thursday af
ternoon, Mermeneuk returned to the
West Side, where he laid wait behind
a rose bush for Soterou, whom he in
tended to lay low with the club he
wos carrying. Before he was badly
beaten up, Sitereu managed to free
himself from the grasp of his coun
tryman, who then flourished a revol
ver and chased him up to the resi
dence of Mrs. JeBsie Smith, where
he found refuge in the residence. Mer
nienouk then repaired to his' own
home, where for a time he locked
himself In, but later he slipped out
and made good his escape.
The residents or the West Side say
that quarrels are frequent among the
Grek's, being almost a nightly occur
rence, and they are becoming very
tired of them.
MEETING WELL ATTENDED.
Sunday Night Gathering in Park
Heard Interesting Sermon.
Rev. Baldwin, the newly appointed
pastor of the United Brethern church,
delivered the sermon at the Union
meeting In the park Sunday evening,
and from start to finish he held the
attention of his listeners. Mr. Bald
win, who Is rather an old man, states
that his theology -Is old fashioned,
but this was evidently what was want
ed by our people.
At the meeting, it was announced
that instead of at 7:30, the meetings
would hereafter be held at 5 o'clock.
Rev. Dyott, D. D. of the First Con
gregational church of Portland will

JENNINGS LODGE ENJOYS
HEALTHY BUILDING BOOM
Houses Are Springing Up in All Parts of Hustling
Suburb on 0. W. P. Live News Letter From
Our Correspondent in that Locality
Five miles from Oregon City on
the O. W. P. Division of the P. Ry.,
L.& P. Company is a beautiful suburb,
Jennings Lodge, which in a short time,
will be known as one of the mo'st de
sirable districts within a radius of 10
miles of Portland. Already residences
of the metropolis are awakening
to the charms of Jennings Lodge, and
each succeeding year finds many ad
ditions to the colony of cottages and
tents that line the beautiful bank of
the Willamette, the summer homes of
city dwellers, who, captivated by the
spot, and unable to resist the sylvan
environments, are spending the hot
months of the year In comfort on the
banks of the beautiful river, where not
the least among facilities such as good
bathing, splendid fishing and the ad
jacent wildwoods, is a half hour car
car service to Portland.
It is especially this last featurel
which has caused a number of Port
land business men to reside In the
Lodge, where after a day of business
worry, they may sit on their verandas
In the cooling breezes of the river,,
forgetting their commercial cares In
their enjoyment of the splendid nat
ural scenery.
For the past two years, this place
has been growing steadily and the
present time is by no means an ex
ception. Sites for homes are being
purchased at a very rapid rate, and
in all parts of the community,men are
engaged In clearing and leveling tracts
where in a short time sightly resi
dences will spring up. The ever wel
come song of the hammer and saw
has been present ever since the ad
vent of spring, In short, Jennings
Lodge is enjoying a healthy building
boom, not one of the variety which
will last a short time and then de
parting, leave the place desolate, but
growth which will culminate in the
erection of many attractive and per
manent homes.
Among the new buildings is Grace
Chapel, the Evangelical Church, where
services are held by Rev. Noah Shupp
of Milwaukle. The chapel was dedi
cated during the recent campmeetlng.
A neat school in charge of competent
Instructors opened last fall for Its

first term, and enables the children
of the neighborhood to get an educa
tion without the necessity of going
a great distance.
Mr .and Mrs. G. N. Barker are spend
ing the summer in a tent on the banks
of the river, while Mr. Barker is erect
ing a cottage. It is the Intention of
the couple to erect a larger home In
the course of a year of so. Mr. Bar
ker is connected with the Portland
General Electric Company.
A summer cottage is also being
constructed for James B. Welch "of
Portland, who was quick to see the ad
vantages of Jennings Lodge as a
spot for spending a comfortable sum
mer. One of the most sightly and comfor
table homes erected this year on
the river Js the eight room rustic
chalet belonging to Jeager Brothers,
the well-known Portland jewelers. The
house is built for two families, but is
so ingeniously arranged that most of
the rooms can be thrown into one.
One side of the residence is occupied
by J. E. Jaeger and family, and J. P.
Jeager and family reside in the other
portion. The house Is In an ideal
location, and commands a splendid
view of the river. A nine foot porch
encircles three sides of the building
and it is here that the two families
spend the major portion of the time.
The ice man has ceased to be a
necessity at the Jeager home, as the
men of the' house have cut a natural
refrigerator out of the banks in the
rear of the house, and here butter,
eggs and other food products may
be kept with no fear of being spoiled
by the rays of Old Sol. It is the
intention of the owners to build a
terrace leading down to the river.
Mr. Jennings, who erected the Jea
ger home and who owned and subdi
vided this portion of land, has under
construction a col.tige for Dr. G. H.
Warden and family. The house is
situated a little to the right of the
Jeager home, and will be built on sim
ilar lines, although' it will be smaller,
containing four of five rooms.
Fred Terry has made extensive im
provements to his residence, and has
added a kitchen and bedroom, besides
enlarging the porch.
Building activity is not confined to
the vicinity of the river. But a short
distance from Grace Chapel Ernest
Smith has built a neat five room cot
tage, and is offering it for sale.
H. W. Foster, who is connected
with Lipman, Wolf & Co., is now oc
cupying his splendidly appointed new
bungalow, containing seven rooms,
reception hall, closets etc. Among the
conveniences Is a pneumatic water
system. Light for the residence is
furnished by a small gas generator,
which Mr. Foster recently Install ad.
On the adjoining lot, Albert Barnes,
who recently arrived in Oregon from
Honolulu, is erecting a bungalow,
which when completed will cost in
the neighborhood of $2500. It will
contain eight rooms, in addition of a
large concrete basement, where the
heating system will be installed. As
yet Mr. Barnes has not decided to
what method he will use for heating
his residence, but he. Is Investigating
the hot water system, which is used

culture, and attended several of the
lectures and short courses at the Ore

about a year ago from Des Moines,
Iowa, is under way, and the basement
has been excavated, a well drilled and
pump Installed.
On the east side of the track, an
inviting residence has just been fin
ished for Mr. and Mrs. Thompson of
Sell wood.
Jennings Lodge.
The Lodge now has' as fine a store
as can be found in Clackamas County
and our people should appreciate the
fact that they can purchase most any
thing they want In the grocery line
without going outside of the Lodge.

Frank M. Moore, Chief Clerk In Adjutant-General's
Department, Dies.
Word has been received in this city
of the sudden death of Frank M.
Moore Friday. Moore had been chief
clerk In the Adjutant-General's De
partment' at Vancouver Barracks for
the past 21 years. He dropped dead
from a stroke of appoplexy as he was
entering the office at headquarters.
He had just been In the mailing

of his morning's mall, and was ap
parently In the best of health. When
he reached the door of the Adjutant
General's office he fell heavily to the
floor. Colonel Ebert, chief surgeon,
was called, but death had been almost
Instantaneous.
Mr. Moore was 63 yers old. He was
born lu Virginia and served for two

tioned at Port Townsend.he was trans
ferred to the civil service as a clerk

A Praiseworthy Action That Deserves
General Imitation.
Editor Courier:
If I am not badly mistaken, the
State of Oregon has a law, according
to which every freeholder should an
nually clear his land and the sur
rounding highways fron thistles and
other obnoxious weeds, before they
go to seed. But for many people this
law seems to be a dead letter. The
other day, however, whilst walking
down to Courtney Station to take the
cars for home, I noticed a praise
worthy exception. I met Mr. Henry
Heitkemper everybody knows the
ideal beautiful home of Mr. Heitkem
per, the Elkhorn, near Oak Grove
armed with a sharp knife at the end
of a long cane, waging a war of ex
termination against this week around
his place. If everybody would imitate
the good example of Mr. Heitkemper,
the country would soon be rid of this
nasty weed, and for this purpose I
hold up Mr. Heitkemper as a pattern
to all who claim the name of a good
citizen.
Having made this trip In the Inter
est of the Farmers Mutual Fire Re
lief Association, of Portland, Or., hav
ing been called out to insure a few
buildingM, I wish to say by the way,
that this Association Is making good
progress. During the month of July
alone, I have written 85 policies, main
ly in sums ranging from $1000 to
$3000; and from August 1st to August
iliii, I have written not less than 43
policies. It is not difficult any more
for this Association to get new mem
bers, the people come to us them
selves, for It is generally acknow
ledged, that the Insurance of this As
sociation Is the cheapest and safest.
Everyone of her losses has been
promptly and fully paid and the As
sessments have been less than those
of any other company.
In this connection I wish to call
the attention to two different items,
viz.: 1st, that we do no longer accept
any buildings with Terra Cotta flues,
and 2nd, that those who have not paid
their assessment 30 days after date
of notice, will not get paid, If they
should have the misfortune of a loss,
but so soon as they have paid up,
their insurance will be good again.

Secretary of the Farmers' Mutual.

POWER PLANT
FORJOSWEGO
Oregon Iron & Steel Co. Head
Big Scheme
Will Furnish Light and Power
for Factories and Private
Enterprises
A big power plant, capable of fur
nishing light and power for factories,
private enterprises and the towns sur
rounding Oswego, Is being projected
by the Oregon Iron & Steel campany
at Oswego.
It is intended to Install the plant at
the lower end of Tualatin Jake, just
above Oswego, where the iron and
steel company now has a large dam.
How largo the plant will be or what
its horse power capacity has not yet
been determined by the company, the
plaus yet boing in a formulative stage.
Within a month, however, the details
of the work will have been decided
upon and the installation begun.
"It is yet too soon to say how large
the plant will be," said Alexander S.
Patullo, Becetary of the company.
"We have a storage possibility there
in the Tualatin lake, however, which
makes a large amount of power evail
able whenever it is needed.
"The company simply desires to be
which Is certain to come to the vicin
ity of Oswego. There are many ex
cellent sites for factories there and
It Is very probable that new Institu
tions will make that place their head
quarters. The trend of factory de
velopment is in that direction. There
is talk of a cement manufactory be
ing built there besides other projects
now under contemplation.
Aside from this there is certain to
be a great development in the valley
about Oswego, providing a market for
the power .and light which would be
manufactured by the plant. It is to
meet this demand that the company
is preparing to install the pwer plant.
The Oregon Iron & Steel Company
already has several properties at Os
wego, besides the foundry being the
water works. The new Vant will
furnish light and power for these
properties as well as for commercial
use.
The construction of the Southern
Pacific bridge across the river at Os
wego will give that town transporta
tion facilities which it has lacked for
many years, and will make it avail
able as a factory location. Already
property in the place and that vicin
ity Is taking on an active tone which
has not been noted for many years,
and the prospects of great Improve
ment in the near future are very
bright. The new power plant Is being
prepared so that it will be on the
ground floor, ready to furnish power
and light for prospective investors,
and thus aid in the upbuilding of the
district.
