Puritan Undermuslins
Puritan undermuslins are well tailored garments. They are designed according to the most advanced
styles and the workmanship is so good that it would scarcely be duplicated m home sewing-.
Puritan undermuslins are very inexpensive, but the makers do not skimp the garments in any way
to see how cheaply they can produce them. Puritan undermuslins comprise all grades, from the very
fine to the least expensive, only stopping at a point where any article would cease to be good mer
chandise. We have a large stock of dainty snow white Puritan undermuslins for this sale you will enjoy com
ing to our store if for no other reason than just to see and handle those beautiful Puritan garments.

THE INDICATIONS ARE THAT
SHE DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE.
People with suicidal mania are inspir
ed with a cunning that does not leave
silver spoons lying around to show
the path they took to reach the end of
life. If Mrs Armstrong intended to
take her life she would not have left
that spoon on the porch Maniacal
suicides cover up all traces of their
actions, and they leave things behind
them in apple-pie order: They pre
pare methodically for the end, even
they have only a moment from the
time the mania seizes them
There is every indication in this
case that Mrs. Armstrong was about
her household duties, possibly get
ting ready to measure out the in
gredients of a pudding, or perhaps
just tasting some dish she had pre
pared, or just about to stir a cup of
coffee or tea. when she was summon
ed to the porch door by a knock. She
stepped out with the spoon in her
hand.
It would be quite possible for
person who desired to attack her to
have then grasped her and thrown
her down the welL She was not such
a heavy woman that this would have
required more than ordinary strength
such strength as is often found in
degenerate types who always murder
women. If she was thus grasped,
she would naturally drop the spoon,
The well was so near the porch just
a' couple of steps that a murderer
could easily have thrown her down
the bore without leaving signs of a
struggle. Had the woman screamed,
there was nobody near to hear her
save the murderr. Had she been
been too terror stricken to scream.
there would not have been time for
her to recover her wits before she
was pluneed down th well. There
would even have been no time for a
struggle. It would have been the
simplest murder imaginable.
Yet the authoritis will make no
further investigation of the case.
And we boast of our civilization.
Since the above was written it de
velops that following the publication
in The Oregonian of an article that
hinted strongly at the possibility of
murder in this case, complaint was
made to that newspaper that Es-
tacada didn't want! a murder reported
from its territory, that the unpleas
ant notoriety would hurt the town."
And The Oregonian was asked to
publish a second article, in which less
emphasis would be laid upon the pos
sibility of murder, and more upon
the probability that Mrs. Armstrong
committed suicide.
It is worth noticing that some
where there is an effort being made
to stop further investigation of the
death of this woman this young
bride just entering upon the fuller
life of matrimony. It is indeed a
commentary on modern conditions
that more is thought of the reputa
tio nof a community than the death
of a woman. Estacada or somebody
there with influence, doesn't want
the death of Mrs. Armstrong exploit
ed.
If we remember correctly, "some
body" didn't want the Harvey mur
ders exploited either, nor did this
"somebody" want them investigated
very much. It is strange htat "some
body" is always trying to either
block justice or to stop the investi
gation of mysteries.
signed that pledge. I got as much
help as I could muster and worked
for the nomination of J. F. Nelson for
assessor because I thought I could
keep tab on him better than the
other candidates.
Mr. Nelson was not thejnan slated
for the job at that time as plenty of
the old delegates know very well, yet
he was nominated and elected and the
assessment on the railroads jumped
to fifteen thousand dollars per mile
and Thomas Ryan and F. A. Sleight,
who had also signed such a pledge,
stood by the assessment as members
of the Board of Equalization.
The assessment on those corpora
tions has been raised from time to
time until they now pay on about
thirty-nine thousand dollars per mile.
When I first started the fight I
claimed the railroads should pay on
ten thousand dollars per mile, about
one-fourth what they pay now, yet'
such men as the writer of the roast
found the same fault with me as they
do now. The man I had reference te
as a witness on the Colton case re
ferred to by me was Walter Gorbett,
as truthful and honorable a gentle
man as lives in this county, and when
he told his story on the witness
stand he told the truth and did not
deserve the treatment he received by
Gilbert Hedges as prosecuting attor
ney, and I say again that if ever I
confront him as a witness it will not
auger well for him if he employes
the tactics he used1 with Mr. Gorbett.
As to the recall matter, I was
appointed on the committee to in
vestigate the business methods of the
county court, which no court should
object to. If their business methods
will not stand investigating the
sooner we know tha facts the better.
I acted on the square in that matter
and went to Mr. Beatie with every
proposition that came up. Some
things he could not explain but in
sisted that everything was straight.
told him any time I found those
things explained I would say so and
give the. facts the same publicity the
other matters had been given. This
surely was the honorable thing to do,
which I did regardless of what
friend or foe thought. The truth is
that I at no time, openly or secretly,
advocated the recall.
Several -parties consulted mo about
becoming a candidate for both judge
or commissioner, but I always told
them to wait. I did tell some when
the time came that the recall was
the proper thing I would be willing
to take up a fight along those lines.
I managed to delay the recall two
weeks and arose in the mass meet
ing after the report of the committee
had been read and was going to ad
vocate another delay, but made up
my mind it was no use so sat down
and said nothing. At a meeting at
Oak Grove I was asked the ques
tion direct if I favored the recall. I
said I did not as I did not think
this was the remedy. This was soon
after the mass meeting was held and
before the recall candidates had been
selected. In that report I did not
recommend the recall but did rec
ommend a tax payers' league, which
should consult with the county court
before any big undertaking was put

UNITY IS DESIRED
Churches Work Toward Greater Ef
ficiency in Young People's Branch
Further Bteps to unite and per
manently bring together the several
young people's societies in the dif
ferent churches in the neighborhood
of the county seat were taken this
week at a meeting of leaders of four
of the organizations in the First
Congregational church of Oregon
City. It was" determined to have
representatives of every society that
wanted to join the movement meet
in the county seat on March 29,
when a constitution and by-laws will
be drawn up. All organizations de
siring to affiliate with the larger
body may then join simply by
adopting these by-laws.
Those who are backing this effort
and who are doing all they can to
bring about the uniting of the. several
factions into one efficient body are
Rev. T. B. Ford, of the Methodist
Episcopal church; Rev. W. T. Milli
ken, Baptist church; the Rev. J. B.
Landsborough, Presbyterian church;
the Rev. G. N. Edwards, Congrega
tional, church; the Rev. Roy L. Dunn,
Gladstone; the Rev. If. N. Smith,
Parkplace Congregational; Miss An
na Rinearson, Gladstone; Lester
Brunner, Parkplace, and William
Miller, Emery French, Elbert Char
man, and Leo Burdon of Oregon
City. Elbert Charman was appoint
ed chairman.
WE WONDER AT IT
Paper Edorsed by Ministers Boost
ing for Sunday Baseball
We note that the Portland Evening
telegram gets the endorsement fo a
group of ministers or of a church
every now and then. The church
people seem to like the Telegram ,
which is a very clean and able paper
under its new management.
But we also note that the Telegram
appears to take a deep interest in
the "National Association of Amateur
Base Ball Leagues," and that the
secretary of this organization is to be
reached at the Telegram's offices.
And we further note that a recent
edition of the Telegram chronicles the
scheduling of seven' Sunday baseball
games between amateur teams, mem-4
bers of this association, for next Sab
bath day.
We have not heard any great
boosting for Sunday baseball in local
church circles and we wonder about
it, that's all.
GIVING IT A NEW TURN
Railroad Man Says Trouble Starts at
the Top, and not at the Bottom
In these days when the newspa
pers are busily engaged in trying to
disguise the fact that business is
dull and that thousands of, men are
out of jobs, it is refreshing to hear
the thing stated in a new way. At a
recent meeting President Sproule, of
the Southern Pacific system, said that
the trouble wasn't so much that the
working men of the country were out
of work, as it was that the employ
ers were out of work.
Mr. Sproula said the trouble al
ways started at the top; that long
before the laboring man began to
complain the man who owned the
works was himself up against it.
When the employer saw business
falling off and knew that he was go
ing to be "out of work" pretty soon.
was the time to start agitating for
more work and not after the em
ployer had been "out of tfork" him
self so long that he was' forced to
lay his employees off.
We don t doubt in the least that
Mr. Sproule knew what he was talk
ing about; and as hfts been said, it
is an entertaining change to ring in
on the description of conditions; but
we fail to see wherein it expresses
any remedy.
BIG SAVING MADE

Novel Puzzle in Courier Next Week
Cash prizes totaling $52. divided
into checks of two dollars, each week
for twenty-six weeks, will be given
away to readers of The Oregon City
Louner beginning with the issue of.
Thursday, March 25. Anyone and
everyone can take part without any
expense.
Once each week for twenty-six
weeks beginning Thursday, there will
be a page in The Courier called "The
Mystery, of the Hidden Checks," and
this page will be made up of adver
tisements of local merchants. In
some 'of these advertisements there
will be superflous words and extra
letters which, when placed in order,
will tell where one of these checks
for $2.00 is hidden. The first one to
make up the sentence telling where
the check is will hurry to the place
designated, secure the 'check and bring
it to The Courier office as auicklv as
possible. The check cannot be cash
ed until it has been brought to this
office.
This will be a very amusing con-,
test and an easy way to make $2.00.
As there will be 26 of these $2.00
checks and the page of advertise
ments will run 26 times it will be the
same as 26 different puzzles, so if
you don't win the first, you may win
one of the others. Each week the

Owing to changes which can be week every advertisement on the'
