Governor Takes Hand in Labor
Problems. Oregon City Farmers
to be Supplied with Help
Portland, Ore. Feb . 16, 1915,
(Special) Not only in Oregon, but
in all parts of the country, the
government has inaugurated a move
ment to secure work for the unem
ployed and to furnish men or women
to farmers and other employers out
side the cities. It is a common sight
to see men standing around the
streets in town at all seasons of the
year who would be glad to go out into
the country and go to work if they
only knew just where to go and could
be certain that the job would be there
when they arrive. John H. Barbour,
United States Inspector, Oregon Im
migration Service, has started to list
applicants for positions of all kinds
and is anxious to receive applications
for help from employers of labor of
all classes.
Every applicant for work will be
given a thorough examination as to
his uqalifications and no man will be
sent out for any specific line of work
uness he is fitted for it, thus leaving
no room for the annual complain that
farmers ares upplied with laborers
who know nothing of farm work, at a
time when the farmer is too busy to
teach them. The first day the office
was open more than 100 applications
for work were received and as there
are no fees or other expneses connect
ed with the service, it is to be expect
ed that enough men will be available
at any time to fill all possible de
mands. Another movement operating along
somewhat similar lines, but with the
idea of assisting the would-be farm
er to get land instead of work, is now
being discussed under the leadership
of Tom Richardson, the founder of
the Oregon Development League,
with the purpose of evolving some
feasible plan for financing the small
farmer, dairyman, or gardener who
has the inclination and ability to get
back to the land and make a success,
but who is financially unable to -do
so. Educators and business men are
decidedly in favor of the scheme and
it is probable that a convention for
its discussion will be held immediate
ly after the close of the legislative
session. Mr. Richardson has issued
an appeal to all who are interested,
asking them to give the matter care
ful consideration and to work up a
community sentiment in its favor.
INSANE MAN CAPTURED
Inmate of Portland Sanatorium Makes
Camp in Gladstone Thoroughfare
Ved Okovich was taken in tow by
Chief of Police Percy Cross at Glad
stone late Sunday afternoon. Oko
vich, it was learned, had escaped
from a Portland sanatorium, and had
wended his way toward Gladstone
some time Sunday. He attracted the
notice of the residents along Arling
ton street by his peculiar action. The
chap started a fire in the middle of
the thoroughfare and was preparing
to comp for the night when taken in
to custody. He gave no trouble to
the officer and seemed supremely
happy, with the hallucination that his
pockets were bulging with gold
pieces.

Gladstone W. C. T. U.
Another Victory for the
Drys
The German Emperor attributes
the amazing exhibition of strength on
the part of his troops to the fact
that with the proclamation of war all
drinking was stopped at once.
We have 13 states where women
have full suffrage and 14 under
state-wide prohibition.
The greatest hope of our country,
is in the children of today." Hence
the necessity of teaching temperance
in the home, the school and the
church.
People who know of the violation
of the law, and do nothing to stop it,
are accursory to the act, according to
some of our best legal authorities.
Among the many campaign yells
this from Ohio explains itself:
I can't vote,
Neither can ma;
Ohio's gone wet
Blame it on pa.
At our last meeting the subject of

Take at least one hour a day for

sides your own troubles.
The regular session of the Union
will be held at the school building

There will be a large acreage

thing is being plowed up and grain
will be raised on the clover land.
Mr. Chapin has the contract for

LOGAN
Logan Scene of Reunion of Kirchem
Family
Mr. Joseph C. Kirchem and Mrs.
Rhoda Kirchem gave a birthday din
ner at their residence Feb. 10th. Mr.
Kirchem's 60th anniversary and Mrs.
Kirchem's natal day only one day be
tween, and that day was chosen as a
compromise. Mr. Kirchem is one of
Logan's most successful farmers and
has helped all of. his children to a
good start in life. The following
guests weie present: Mr. and Mrs.
J. P. Steinman, A. M. Kirchem, L. H.
Kirchem, Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Rob-
bins, Mrs. A. C. Gerber, Mr and Mrs.
S. G. Kirchem and family, Mr. and
Mrs. W. M. Kirchem, Mr. and Mrs.
H. H. Kirchem, Mrs. Laura L. Kir
chem, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kohl and
Marion Kirchem. The occasion was
also a reunion of the Kirchem family
on the old homestead, where Matthias
Kirchem started in the early 50's,
and where all but the two oldest of
his seven children were born, and
where all spent most of their youth.
Mr. Kirchem Sr., later bought the
present Fischer's mill and supplied
bread stuff for a large scope of
country. All seven of the children
are living and all but one were pres
ent on this occasion.
The Redland b,and gave a concert
and entertainment on the 13th, which
was a rousing success. A large
audience greeted them. The Red
land band is all right and we are
proud of them.
There has been considerable coyote
hunting lately, but not very much
finding, and absolutely no killing
positively reported at present writ
ing, though many shots have sped
at the fleeing varmints, and they are
not in trenches either.
S. Newkirk is reported to be in
bad health again. His son, Leonard,
was out to see him last Sunday.
See Clackamas county first. Mr.
Dallas, the cream hauler, reports
visiting a cave last Sunday, which
is so extensive it takes considerable
time to explore it; has large rooms
ceiled with ice, deep holse and many
interesting features. The writer has
lived in sight of the bluff for 35
years and has only heard a meager
hint of the cave before. We'll see
it soon and report.
Here's success to the new editor
Brown.
MOUNTAIN VIEW
We begin to realize that part of
our dreams will come true for we
have long hoped for a street car line
to come through our port of Oregon
City but instead it followed along the
foothills and left us out We voted
for an elevator, to assist the weary
hill climbers and we have the elevator
yes, with a heavy hill to pay and no
service. But a few days ago a bright
young man decided to run a jitney
and now we can ride from Main St.
to the center of our village for 6
cents, and he does not lack for
patronage. The men who work in the
mills find they can get home sooner
and have more time for work around
the garden. What a blessing to tired
humanity, and yet there are people
who will decry tht Jitney service.
Not long ago it cost one dollar and
fifty cents to bring one passenger on
the Ihil by auto service. We are glad
to have the jitney bus in Oregon
City long may it live.
Mrs. Robert Beally of Vancouver,
B. C, visited her mother, Mrs. C. A.
Hickman this week for a few days.
It was a family reunion, as Everett
Hickman and wife were also visiting
at the same place. Mrs. Scott of
Portland is also a visitor at Mrs,
Hickman's. Dr. Harvey Hickman's
wife is here too.
Mrs. J. P. Roehl, of Carus, visited

Mrs. Dell Gibson and Mrs. Lloyd
Swan, of Portland, visited Mrs. R. M.
C. Brown last Friday.
The Ladies' Aid held an all day
session at the little church last Tues-4
day' and quilted and served. A fine
dinner was served at noon and all
enjoyed the day. Rumor has it that
the church has been sold to the M. E.
denomination and will pass into their
control. We hope they will be as
generous as the Congregational
people and let the S. S. be a union
school. There are several denomina
tions represented in our little corner :'
of Oregon City and as a Union S. S.
it has flourished, but should it pass
into the control of one denomination
alone we fear it would not be so satis
factry. Let the little church stand
for us all and not sectarian as it will
not be so pleasant.
Our little friend Florence Bier

surely ought to win.
Mrs. Emma Mulligan and baby

There are a number of men here
who need work who have families to
support, and are willing to work at
anything honest for a living.
County Court Take Trip to Inspect
Bridge
For the purpose of inspecting the
Butte Creek bridge, Judge Anderson
and Commissioner Knight spent part
of Friday in the southern part of the
county. They found it sound but in
need of a new roof.
Worse than Oregon City
At a council meeting of Forest
Grove held last week, it developed
that there were over 200 side walks
in that city that were either com
pletely demolished or in a bad state
of repair.
While we do not wish to be con
sidered as knockers, you know the
old saying that misery loves com
pany. Main Street in Oregon City finds
itself in about the same boat as For
est Grove.
