Saturday is Valentine's day that one day in the year you can send your shy sweetheart an anonymous sentiment and have it pass, and the one day you can dig it into the one you hate with a "perfectly horrid'.' caricature. Without a flake of snow so far this winter spring has opened in the Willamette Valley, everything is tak ing on a newer green, and the leaves of shrubbery are opening. The people of this part of Oregon do not know . what real winter is except from rec ollections of the east and middle west.

No. 2 will hold big dance at Busch's hall on Sf. Patrick's night. Preparations are under way to make this one of the biggest balls ever held in the city. The frogs are giving nightly re hearsals, and there is no surei sign that spring is here. I he schoolboy rule has it that when they sing three nights in succession fish will bill. Two Mormon ministers are in the citty doing missionary work, and in this connection the article of Rev.. W. T. Milliken on another page may be interesting reading revealing some of the inside doctrines of Mormonism. , Fred Nelson is in a Portland hos- nital ill with pneumonia. He had re cently returned from San Francisco, where he went to join tne uregon uu ita trin through the Panama canal, but the naval parade was postponed on account of the slides in the canal. A. C. Cox of Center street is hunt ing for a rabbit's foot-keeping nis crossed isn't potent. He was niioront. rind for over 4U days ior small nox. and Tuesday night on his return from Portland, descending the steDs of a street car he stumbled, fell to the pavement, striking on his face and was considerably bruised. Sundav nieht the slaughter house of Farr Bros., outside the city, was broken open and hides to the value of $65 were stolen, and the same night dogs got into the sheep pen ana killed several sheep. Officers have been working on the theft, but so far have been unable to get any trace. It cost Rav Jamison $25 and a-sus- pended jail sentence of 30, daysi to try to settle a bill he owed Steve Hnno-at.fi with his fists. Hungate tried to collect the account, trouble followed and it is stated Jamison struck Hungate. Before Recorder Loder he pleaded guilty and received the above sentence. The best proposition for a larger and more prosperous Oregon City is to vote for a system of mountain water from the forest reserve March 3rd. There is no asset equal to pure water. It is of as great benefit as pure air. The water league will soon present arguments and figures to the people, and the people should study the proposition carefully. Dr. L. G. Jenkins, a former resi dent dentist of this city, died at Lan caster, Cal., Sunday night of tuber cular disease. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Jenkins of Twilight, and a former partner of Dr. George Hoeye of this city. About three years ago he realized jus neann was failing, since when he has traveled over the southwest in hopes of re covering. The body will be brought to this city and the Ekls will have charge of the funeral services sun-day. Slip of Cog and Bright Lawyer Howard M. Brownell, son of At torney George C. Brownell oi mis city, has attracted considerable notor iety, in Linn county Dy aeienaing a man who was caught having deer meat in his possession, having the judge instruct the jury to acquit the defendant, and freeing the man. The Eugene Guard says the nunter a man named Hawk, and his son, liv ing at Holly, Linn county, were arrested by . C. mils, a Eugene deputy game warden, several weeks ago while the two occupied, a cabin in the mountains in Lnae county, near the Linn county line. Hills was asked to spend the night in the carcass of a deer under the bed. He cabin and in the morning found the cited the men to appear in the local justice court. Howard M. Brownell, who was re tained bv Hawk and his son to defend them in court, discovered a short time ago that the section of the game law which makes it a misdemeanor to kill 'a dier and to have deer meat in one's possession out of season was repealed in the passage of another law. It was an oversight on the part of the framers of the bill and was never noticed by the members of the 1913 legislature which passed the new law.' During the 1913 session of the legislature the whole . game law of 1909 was wiped out and a new one substituted, and'the section relating to killing out of season and having deer meat in possession was repealed and no law substituted. 1 Anv number of men have been con victed of the same charge as Hawk, and under the law it would seem they were illegally convicted. FALSE ROAD ECONOMY A TRIBUTE TO DR. MOUNT To the People in general and to tlinsn in need of medical aid in particular: . In the course of human events nearlv all persons find themselves face to face with the unexpected, the unlooked for: nevertheless the inev- evltjihlfi hannens and then we do inevitable occurs. Accidents and ill ness often come to us without special invitation. Sometimes thiough neg ligence or carelessness, other times through sheer "constitutional uum ness." In whatever way they may befall us, we, as human creatures nppH some skillful person who can alleviate suffering mankind. In my half century's migration and almost trans-migration on this globe, I have met with nearly every cult and cure. Some live on water, street, some on powder street; others have left the terrestial and gone to the celestial universe, hence discard ed all matter and left mind only. Each and all have had some suc cess and following; some more, some less none cure all. From personal experience and ob servation I must confess there such a thing as pain and sickness. therefore I wish to recommend one who stands without peer or equal in Clackamas county, both as surgeon and physician, the Hon. Dr. Hugh Mount: patient, kind, modest and un. assuming. A. F. Buche. Rev. Mau Home from War Rev. A. Mau, pastor of the Ger man church at Beaver Creek, who has been at the frontf ightine for Germany, has returned to Oregon and the Courier hopes to have an in teresting story from him in the next issue. He will hold services at his church at the regular hour Sunday, THE HUB We want to remind you again about that good coffee wee arry called THE HUB SPECIAL.

Releasing Engineer is Step Backward in Road Work, Thinks Mr. Terrm Oregon City, Ore. Feb. 10, 1915. Editor Courier: I notice that the County Court has decided to do away with services of the county road engineer. In my opinion this is a step backward and false economy. I didn't take kindly to the idea of having an ex nert road man. when the court first donted the plan, but alter careiuny watching Mr. Hobson and seeing the results of having a system and practical road man at the head ot it, mv hat is off to Hobson. . . j We all know how to nuiid a roau and we all know that our ideas are the best, but are we all devoting our entire time to the road work? Do all go to the trouble of getting statistics from other counties and states? Do we all visit and inspect various other roads for the purpose of arriving at some conclusion which is the most practical and cneapesi road? No we don't, but the roaa man does. Do we all have miniature roads in our rooms with dilterent oils, acids, sands, gravels and eac, testing the chemical action? No, we don't, but the road man does, and he can give pointers to any roaa super visor or contractor. I have talked with a great many different men on the road supject, and have met men that had built mads, and had some good ideas, but I haven't met the man that had Hob son beaten. I want to say right here that Mr. Hobson and myself are al most strangers and he doesn't know that when he first took charge of the road work of Clackamas county that I thought the court was making a mistake, and consequently watcnea thp pynp.rt r . I have worked on various roausi throughout the county the past sea son and found that the roaas were laid according to specifications. Con tractors, with a county inspector al ways on the job, couldn't slight the work, consequently the roads were built carefully, and stand the strain. With the road work left to auiereni men to look after, and each man fol low but his own ideas Clackamas county roads would be a kind of crazy quilt some good, some bad. What's the use of us all experi menting? Let a man take the lead who has done the experimenting and then we will get a uniform and last ing road at less cost When winter comes with the rain, and the valley is soaked until there is practically no bottom, it takes a mighty good and well laid road to stand the strain, and that strain is evprv vear becoming greater. - - , i Let's hear from some oi you ouier fsllows on this subject which we are all interested in. But before I quit this I would further like to say that it is not right to ask a man to swap the middle of the road in other words, why not at least let Hob son finish the work he has opened up? I would also like to see some man laid and bound with the mill r.hpmipals. Oil men will no douDt fight this kind of road, but I have seen the chemicals tried and road oil isn't in with that stuff. Chas. F. Ternil LATEST STORY OF SPRING STYLES Special New York Letter of 1 lungs Doing in Fashion World New York, February 6, 1915. It is said that Berlin has been much the same during the war as at other times, excepting for the war spirit, and the grief at the bulletin boards. It has been the Kaiser's wish that things should be as unaffected as possible, and, as he is well beloved, as well as feared, the people, espec- iallv the women, have shown their grief but little. In Paris the fear ot invasion was great, and immediately things were closed no lights were allowed, the cafest could not be open, the theatres were shut down, and a curfew told people that their lights must be out. It was natural that this should affect business, but now things have chang ed and are taking on a much more normal outlook. The dressmaking houses which have kept open are doing business, with the United States at least, and Rodier, the great manufacturer of fabrics, reports that he is furnishing materials to the Callot Sisters, Cher- uit, Premet and Beer. The theaters are opening and many are crowded, but not by the fashion able audience that one would expect under different- circumstances. The women of Paris are avoiding the ex tremes which have always been their hobby in style. The very tight skirt. has been discarded' but the very full unfinished that it is scarcely popular. Others are made with a straight band around the neck and a ruff of net or chiffon above and below it. The best of the high-necked waists button straight up the front, from the waist line to top of the collar. A stunning waist which I saw not long ago was made with the collar in one with the body of the waist, the shoulder seam extending into the side seam of the collar. This collar wrinkles around the neck charmingly and was held from working down into a string around the neck by bones at the back and sides of the collar. It does not seem possible that these high-collared blouses and frocks will altogether -supersede the low collars which we have been wearing so long. The women have felt the comfort of doing without anything about the throat, the necks have revived from the old tight colars and become more beautiful, and it does not seem as though they could consent to the wearing them on everything again. There is no way to tell just what the lingerie waist of the summer will become. There is said to be a revi val of the old "button-in the-back" waists and trimmings of braid and II Hi in t....,.,-ij.'iiiiii.,4-wjii )mni..i . r Hjijii'Li uroi.i.r.iirnii i -inif in -nun i i '"" m ...T. ...... .,,, a , .r . iii. ri- i.iiiiiin.in -ininr-ii - - Crepe de Chine and Lace Combined in a Gown with Waist in Bolero Effect Peace Sunday, Feb. 14 Next Sundav.

It is a time to pray for the continuance of peace between these countries and for the speedy estab lishment of peace on a lasting basis between all nations. The pastor will speak on "How to Make Peace Per manent" There will be sung a new hymn of peace to the tune of "America," and other special music.

However, the gowns which were worn by the actresses had cer tain elements' worth remembering. A dress of black velvet, which was worn by a French actress, had long, tight-fitting sleeves and a square, low neck, with a Medici collar in the back. The skirt was full and drawn in. around the bottom. A length of the velvet was draped over the hips and ended in a train.

Overblouse and coatee effects are very popular and will no doubt be used, especially for the very dressy waists. The chiffon or chiffon cloth Diouse of putty, sand, or biscuit colors are vpvv practical this winter. They are made with high collars and usuany button straight up the front with silk-covered buttons, The waist of crepe de Chine is also very good, es pecially where maoe wiui iais revers which fall gracefully in the front. In an illustration I show a new blouse, collarless, with the neck cut in the new Callot square, which is most becoming and far less trying than the usual square or Dutch neck. Tha model is developed in craquele net and untrimmed. except for a cord outlining the neck. The skirt worn with this waist is an excellent one for the separate skirt, as it is made with a yoke and . front in one and pleats at the side, causing the Bkirt to flare in the up-to-date manner at the sides.

This is a frock which may be worn again and again, as its long sleeves and high collar give it a distinctly day-time air, while the material makes it elaborate enougn ior many evening functions. The separate waist takes on auier- ent features with the changing of the season, and there is no end to the numerous models, although they an bear a resemblance one with the other. This season the high collar nas been the newest note in these waists. A few good models have been madei with the high collar, but it is mucn harder to achieve than the waist with the round wedge, or rolling collars. Some of the waists are made with a V neck and a high collar above it, leaving a little or the neck or chest exposed.
