OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1914. "City Fathers Agitated" Permission was granted the Ore- eon City ice factory to erect coal bunkers on R. R. Ave. Remon strance was made today by C. I Stafford, H. Stevens and a lady. The city council held a meeting: in an old barn and decided that the bunkers would injure no one.

The Council decided to call a meet ing tomorrow night when the coal bunker matter and Division Street improvement will be the matter to be discussed. Lively innings are predicted. , WILL NOT MOVE Maple Lane School House will Remain Where it is tor tne rresent Residents in the Maple Lane school district have changed their minds about moving the sctiool house from its present site.

HOWELLS SUED FOR $7,400 Fred Bluhm Seeks to Recover Large Amount of Money E. M. Howell, T. C. Howell and M. L. Howell are defendants in an ac tion filed last Monday by Fred Bluhm who seeks to recover damages for false representation the Howells are alleged to have made in an ex change of a rooming house for Mr, jjiunm 8 farm. Fred Bluhm, the well known wood dealer of Oregon City, is represented Dy Attorney u. w. iuastham. E. M. Howell, one of the defend ants, is well known about town as Mac Howell. He has been in the real estate business in Oregon City for a number of years, buying- and selling consmeraoie property on his own ac count. His brother, T. C. Howell mayor of Gladstone, and better known as Chambers Howell, is inter ested with him in a large part of his real estate holdings. The Howells are said to be wealthy. f rom iiluhm s complaint it ap pears that the Howells were owners of the furniture of a Portland apart ment house. The wood dealer, not being informed in furniture values. took the defendants' word for it that he was getting a good $12,00 value, with a net earning capacity of $150 to $300 per month. In exchange he parted with a fine 120 acre farm two miles east of New Era. Then he learned what he alleges to be the crushing truth; that the rooming house was losing money every day, and that a reasonable value for it, over and above the mortgage on it, would be $440. - This is what he has to show for his $9,000 New Era farm. Bluhm's complaint indicates that he trusted implicitly in the repre sentations of his fellow townsmen; that it was not hypnotism or mesmer ism but a case of misplaced confi dence.

Atlhough there were 618 miles covered by the Maxwell, 25 machine, in three days, there were no accidents to mar the pleasure of the trip, not even a punc tured tire. This is one of the best records that a party making the trip by automobile has made. The mem bers of the party upon returning home had the appearance of several weeks' stay at the beach. Mr. Smith states that the coun try through which his party passed presents an appearance that is most attractive. The hay crop is unusually large, one field of which covered 17 miles in length and with the hay cut and stacked and ready for haul ing to the barn, is the finest he has ever seen.

A Pioneer Uncle Ezra Meeker, the old Ore eon pioneer, who crossed tne plains with his ox team in '62, drove his an cient prairie schooner into town Tuesday. Mr. Meeker has made sev eral subsequent trips by ox team oyer the Oregon trail, at one time going as far as Washington, D. C. The last time Uncle Ezra was here he drove a fine team of steers which had hauled him across the plains in one of his fa mous journeys, but this time he drove just one ox, a magnificent red beast weighing 2,300 lbs. Mr. Meeker is full of ancient rem iniscences, and, besides being an in teresting talker, is an auther of no mean account, having written several books treating of early Oregon his tory. He is well acquainted with Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, our own his torical writer who is famous on ac count of her history of Dr. John Mc Loughlin and Old Oregon, and other works. Uncle Ezra was seen here at the Star theatre, where he lectured up on his travels and the thrilling adven tures of the old Oregon days. GLADSTONE PICNIC (Continued from Page 1) for their country should necessity de mand it. About 3 o'clock Hon. J. II. Gary, the orator, began his speech on "Pa triotism," which elicited much ap plause from his hearers, the great crowd listened with rapt attention. Evun the children wer-a patient and polite,, although they were no doubt wishing he would get through so the fireworks could resume. Following the speech came the ball game between the ollice and mill for ces, and this was won as usual by the ollice athletes. The wisdom of the mill people in giving these anual picnics for their employees cannot be too highly prais ed, and it is certain that a more or derly and appreciative crowd never was assembled anywhere. It seems ridiculous to contrast such an occa sion as this with the old fashioned "celebration," in which firecrackers and firewater furnished the principal entertainment. The Spirit of Good fellowship was with the crowd throughout the day and everyone seemed happy. Following is a list of the prize winners in the principal events: Tug-of-war Mill A, first; Steam er R.

What A Farmer Thinks (Continued from Page 1) gration on account of the big canal and said Clackamas Coun,ty t would get her share. And instead of com ing out boldly as a statesman should and telling us how we could handle the situation he avoided the issue even going so far tne other way as to ask the audience what we were going to do about finding them work, educating them, how we were to feed, clothe and shelter them. He admit ted this was a great problem and threw the responsiblltly of its solu tion on the congregation and very gracefully closed. He delivered several splendid de clarative sentences and simply touch ed the fringes of some great and ser ious problems of state, but was afraid to go further with them. It was my impression that he is a splendid standpatter and if he should be gov ernor of 48 states instead of one he would float with the tide or drift with the current and peacefully enjoy the imitation of power and pass over this turbulent political sea without caus ing the slightest ripple of public opinion.
