J. K. PARDEE SHOOTS
HIMSELF WITH REVOLVER
Grief and Defeat No Doubt Cause of
. Veteran's Suicide
The price of politics was high to
James K. Pardee, the defeated can
didate for county treasurer.
Monday morning he placed the
barrel of a .32 revolver in his mouth
pulled the trigger and the bullet en
tering his brain killed him almost in
stantly. Mr. Pardee was a civil war veter
an and about 70 years old. He was a
candidate for county treasurer at the
primaries, and opposing him on the
same ticket was James Nelson, a
soldier, and M. E. Dunn of this city.
Mr. Pardee took the campaign
with much seriousness and made the
remark Saturday morning that if he
could not get 90 per cent of the Re
publican vote he would kill himself.
His wife died a few months ago
and he had not appeared natural

conclusion for the rash act, that her
death and brooding over defeat had
unbalanced his mind.
Mr. Pardee cooked his breakfast
on the morning of the tragedy, and
after eating he went to the wood
shed and killed himself. The shot
was not heard by anyone, but a few
minutes later when the son went to
the woodshed he found him dead.
James K. Pardee was a member of
the G. A. R. He served for three and
one half years of the Civil war as ad-
jutant of Company A. Second Ohio
cavalry. He lived in Gladstone for
several years and was city treasurer
for two years. He is survived by one
son, Joseph Pardee, who is in the geo

was visiting his father at the time

BURIES ROAD BONDS
SPEEDING AUTO CROWDS
OTHER INTO DITCH
Car Overturns and Four are Pinned
In and Injured
Another of those auto accidents
that are becoming altogether too fre
quent and dangerous happened near
Meldrum Sunday, when a car driven
. by Ernest Rands was forced into the
ditch to escape being struck by a big
touring car that was tearing up the
road, overturned and pinned the oc
cupants beneath.,
Mrs. Rands had her collar bone
and ribs broken; Mrs. W. A. White's
ankle "was broken and she was ser
iously bruised; Miss Florence White,
linotype operator at the Courier, sus
tained a dislocated shoulder; Ernest
Rands had a rib broken; Mrs. Rand's
collar bone was broken and she was
otherwise badly bruised and Miss
Jeanne White was bruised.
, The occupants of the other car did
not even slacken speed, but tore on
dwn the road, leaving the overturn
ed car and the occupants pinned
under it to their fate. Engineer
Ernest Rands was driving the ma
chine, and he said when he saw the
oncoming car he knew that he must
either be struck or take his chances
with the ditch. The car was running
at a high rate of speed and never
slacked after seeing the other car
go over. The number of the car and
the occupants could not be learned.
Courier is Light, the Reasons ,
This Courier is a light weight and
doubtless next week's issue will not
be any heavier.
An auto accident injured the lino
type operator; sickness and death
called the foreman away; and these
coming just as the office was moving
to its new building, has made it im
possible to get out the usual quality
of paper.
Next week's Courier will be print
ed from its new home, not fully com
pleted as yet, and when readers ap
preciate the big job of moving, wir
ing and getting out a paper in the
same week, they will have charity
for shortcomings and delayed orders.
After another week we will be
fairly settled in our new home and n
the commodious quarters will b'e in
far better shape to handle the rapidly
growing business.

Mayor L. E. Jones delivering the ad
dress of welcome to the visitors, and
afterward turning the city over to
merry making.
Arrangements have been comple
ted for the day's affair, which nro-
mises to be one of the most enjoyable
booster days and rose festivals that
have taken place in this city. This
is the first time that these two days'
celebrations have been observed on
the same day, and no doubt there will
be thousands of visitors in Oregon
wty on mis aay.
Mrs. J. J .Cooke, who is president
of the Clackamas County Rose So
cietyswith her assistants, and O. E.
Freytag, secretary of the publicity
department of the Oregon City Com
mercial Club, and his assistants have
worked diligently for the past two
weeks in arranging the day's pro
gramme.
Among the features of tha day
will be a parade of the livestock, this
to take place at 10 a. m. and will con
sist of the following: Division A.
in harness; Division B Fine horses;
Division C. Farmer's till purpose
class, by special request; Division D.
embracing the fine cattle, of which
Clackamas County is justly proud of,
and which will be displayed during
the day.
At 1:30 p. m. the children's parade
will form on Seventh and Washing
ton street, and march down to Main
street. The school children will also
take part in this work. As the pa
rade passes along Main, street drills
and May pole dances will be given by
the children. Mrs. W. C. Green is
chairman of the children's parade,
and her assistants are Mrs. T. P. Ran
dall, Mrs. C. G. Miller, Mrs. E. W.
Scott, Mrs. E, P, Rands. The child
ren will march, as far north as Buschs
store and countermarch down Main
street. It was thought advisable by
the committee in charge too have the
children's parade precede the auto
mobile or vehicle parade so as to pre
vent any accident. There are many
interesting features of this parade
that will be new to celebrations held
heretofore in this city, among these
being parasol drills, wand and hoop
drills. There will be prettily decora
ted express wagons, doll buggies,
dog carts. Prizes will be offered for
all entries, and each youngster is to
strive for a prize.
Division V will form at 2:30 p. m.
on Main street between Twelfth and
Sixteenth streets, this to consist of
floats of lodges, granges, commercial
floats, hose carts, etc.-
At 3:30 p. in. a monster automo
bile parade will form on Main street
between Twelfth and Sixteenth
streets. The committee, which has
this division in charge is giving it
special attention to the end that it
will prove one of the most attractive
features of the day.
Motor boat races undr the com
mand of Commodore Charles Spencer,
of Canemah, and his aides, will occu

Dr. A. L. Beatie will be grand mar
shal of the day, and with able assist

made a written complaint to the
council that one of the night patrol
men had sworn at him when he ask
ed him a civil question, and since
then this watchman has been active
in trying to get one of the night of
ficers removed, hoping himself to be
appointed in his place as soon as it
was found that one man would not
be sufficient downtown late at night.
The council having determined
that there should be no changes in the
police department, later expressed its
satisfaction with the way the mem
bers of the force were behaving, and
granted to each of them two weeks
vacation with pay. The time of the
vacations and the method of "filling
in" the absent officer's patrol time,
will be left with the nolice committee
and Chief Shaw to settle. .
Main Street Fuss Revived
The matter of repaving or of re
pairing Main street came up soon af
ter the police matter had been settled
and a debate lasting some 90 'minutes
followed. Opposition to a complete
improvement of the city's business
thoroughfare was made chiefly bv
Mr. Charman, one of the property
owners. Mr. Andresen .another pro
perty owner, and chairman of the
Mountain Water commission, did
moRt of the argriine on the other sidn.
Councilman Long recalled to the
members of the council that the "life"
of Main street had been declared in
December, 1912, alonir with Fifth and
Seventh streets. Councilman Tem
pleton said that he had looked the
matter un himself, and that the or
dinance declaring the life oi Main
street was passed December 6, 1912,
and that the time at which the city
stopped being responsible for its up
keep was December 31, 1912. It was
also brought out that the city had
just before that spent $6,000 in re
pairing the street.
Representatives of the Hawley
Pulp & Paper company and of Mr.
Hawley himself said that they were
willing to pay their share towards a
complete re-improvement of the
street. Other property owners said
that they also favored a compelte re
laying of the street. Mayor Jones
said that several of the people who
had signed the protest against doing
any but patch work on the thorough
fare had told him they wished their
names erased from the document.
Councilman Meyer finally moved
that bids be invited from the several
paving companies for a re-improvement
of Main street, from Second to
Moss, and that these bids be submitt
ed within ten days. The motion
passed with Councilman Hackett
alone opposing it.
looze Resigns Post
Just prior to the adjournment a
letter from Councilman F. J. S. Tooze
was read by the mayor. In this
Mr. Tooze "regretted that he had to
sever his relations" with the council
and tendered his resignation. The
council, having previously read ip the
press that Mr. Tooze had been for
ced to resign by the school board in
order that he might gain reappoint
ment as city superintendent of
schools, and also that he had been
nominated by the Progressive party
as their candidate for the legislature
from the 17th district, accepted his
resignation and tendered him a vote
of thanks for his services in the coun
cil. . Mr. Tooze has in the past shown
a deep interest in city affairs, and
those who had worked with him on
committees spoke highly of his un
tiring and ceaseless efforts. His
successor will be selected at a later
meeting.
The ordinance providing a series
of graded license fees for auto trucks
came up for first reading, and will be
acted upon finally at the first meet
ing in June.

Prof. Tooze Has Resigned
As predicted in last week's Cour
ier, Supt. F. J. Tooze handed in his
resignation to the city council Wed
nesday night. No reason was given
for the resignation.
SCHOOL TROUBLES CAUSE
TALK THAT HURTS
Dissention Among Teachers and Man
agement Should be Thoroughly
Probed ' '
Last week the Courier scribbled off
a few lines of semi-nonsense regard
ing the action ot the board of edu
cation slipping one over and trying
to keep it on the q. t'-
Nevertheless the story has started
considerable city gossip, and has
brought to light school -conditions
that have existed for some time, but
which have been covered up and kept
quiet, in the hope that all might work
out satisfactorily and that it would
be for the best good of the schools to
keep the conditions quiet as possible.
During the past week many indi
viduals have talked with the editor
over school matters. He has heard
all sides from several people from
friends of Superintendent Tooze and
his enemies; from pupils and from
teachers.
There are always two sides to a
story, but in Oregon City schools
there should not be a story.
Once let dissension get into schools
and efficiency hits the chutes. Once
let teachers, pupils and the educa
tion board get to working at cross '
purposes and schools cannot do good
work.
The Courier editor doesn t know
who is at fault in this matter. He
simply knows there IS A FAULT
when these people tell him the differ
ent sides of the story.
Teachers in the high school have
voluntarily come to him and told him
of vexatious conditions under which
thev work: of Petty annoyances they
have to endure; of the feeling which
exists between the superintendent
and the teachers, and one of them
frankly stated she would not longer
emain as teacher under tne present
management.
It will do neither the teachers or
the schools any good to recite these
grievances, and we win not unless
tliene statements are challenged.
The point we are alter is that
these conditions should be changed
and changed at once. No schools can
do good work under such conditions
Bible, then there should be new tcach
If it is the teachers who are respon-
ers. ir it is tne manager wno is an
fault, then it is high time to change
the management.' If it is the board
f education that is not onto its job,
then the sooner that is changed the
better for he school.
Al there is to it now Is that tnere
is trouble in our schools. There is
lack of team work. There is dissa
tisfaction. The board of education
nows it, the teachers know it, the
pupils know it.
Oregon City has schools to-be
proud of. Year after year they have
mnroved and no county is octter
equipped. The standard should be
maintained, the good worK continued.
But it can't be done with dissatisfied
teachers and Pupils. The schools
can't do good work when there is not
harmony and good feeling between
the superintendent and the teachers.
The one thing ior tne ooaru ui eu
ucation to do is to find the cause
of the trouble and remove it no
matter what it is. It should oe none
once. All personal teeungs
should be forgotten and the best
good of the school worked for. A
church and a school cannot succeed
with Internal strife. No matter what
has caused the trouble, get the cause.
