Last week the Aurora Observer sprung this one, and though we have met it before, we pass it on. "A good joke on an editor who went one evening to report a party at a home recently blessed with a new baby: He met his hostess at the door, and after the usual salutations he ask after the baby's health. The lady, who was quite deaf and suffers with the grippe, thought he was asking after her cold, and answered that she usually had one every winter, v but this was the worst one she ever had; it kept her awake at night a good deal, and at first confined her to bed. Then noticing that the newspaper man was getting nervous, she said she could tell by his looks that he was going to have one just like hers, and asked him to come in and sit down." WHO GOT BIRD? Unfinished Tale only tells Part of Thrilling Story A China pheasant cock flew through an up-stairs window in the Milt Marshall home in" Estacada last Monday, shattering the pane as com pletely as though a rock had been thrown thru it.

"Factory on Premises" Violation of Eight-Hour Law Charged by Labor Commissioner Labor Commissioner 0. P. Hoff came to Oregon City Saturday and swore to a complaint against W. 0. Wellman, superintendent of the local plant of the Standard Paving com pany, which is laying Wuiswick pav ing on Main street. The complaints alleges that Wellman worked h. W. Bower over eight hours on August 30, and that no necessity or emer gency for such violation of the eight- hour law existed. When arraigned, before Justice of the Peace John N Sievers, Wellman waived examination, and was bound over to the grand jury in $100 bail, which was furnished. Wellman then went back to work, and a few minutes later was busily engaged in getting a steam-roller, which had lost half of its "wheels" on lower Main street, off the cartracks, Officials of the Worswick outfit de clared that the arrest was the result of their following the advice of City Attorney Schuebel,; whom they said had told them that while it was against the law to work the street crewsf more than eight hours, it was permissable to work the crew at the mixing plant ten hours a day. They followed nis advice, they said, pre suming that as a legislator and as city attorney he knew the law. Mr. Schuebel alibis on this charge, by a flat contradiction, He says he never told the Worswick people any thing about the law, but referred them to the district attorney. Schuebel is attorney for Wellman, at least as far as the justice court records go. Before Labor Commissioner Hoff's appearance in the city it had been planned to work the paving crew on Sunday, at extra wages, so that a gap in the paving might be completed in time for the firemen's tournament. After the arrest it was determined not to do this, and paving work was sus pended over the double holiday the first of the week. The breakdown of the steam roller, which followed the arrest of Well- mann, occurred when the steering roller of the machine yot off the car- tracks on to the foundation for the paving. Efforts of the engineer in charge to get the machine to climb back again upon the real street level were too much for the machine, and it divided itself into two useless parts, Repairs were effected after an hour's work, and the spreading of paving ma terial was resumed. WILL TRY AGAIN Gladstone Still Seeking Union High school for District The county district boundary board last week set Septembfir 15 as the date of a special school election for Gladstone and Parkplace, at which time these two districts will endeavor to unite for the construction of a union highschool at Gladstone park, land for which has already been offer ed by Harvey E. Cross. There is no doubt that a majority' of voters in the two districts will favor the plan. A former attempt to arrange for a union highschool, with the districts of Gladstone, Parkplace, Clackamas and Jennings Lodge participating, came to naught through eleventh-hour opposition from a clique in Jennings Lodge, who desired to take advantage of the new school law and send their children to Portland highschools at the county's expense. Following this, people in favor of the Gladstone plan at first concluded to drop the matter; but so strong is the desLc for a home highschool that the matter has again been brought to the front. DEEP SYMPATHY FELT C. C. Chapman and John Dugger Find Selves in Same Boat A worthy citizen of Oregon City, John Dugger by name, is suffering the anguish of humiliation because of a newspaper item which recorded that a light-fingered namesake was making nocturnal visits to neighbor ing hencoops. We are in a position to sympathize with John Dugger, for in the same manner we have been given embarassing notoriety for hav ing delivered new thought lectures in Utah, sued for taxes in Crook County, arrested" for forging a pay check in Portland, fined for burning up amov ing picture house in Astoria, jailed for, assaulting a lumber-jack in Montana, court-martialed for desertion from the army and actually hanged for steal ing horses in Texas. And some of our friends refuse to accept our frantic explanation that it was a namesake. Oregon Voter.) FIGHT NOT WANTED Effort of Boxing Promoter to Stage Bout Here are Squelched A man who said he was P. H. Mc Phelns. and who further volunteered that he came 'from Portland, spent considerable energy and some money in the countv last week trying to make arrangements to put on a boxing ex hibition somewhere near Oregon City while the Willamette Valley Firemen's tournament was in session. He tried to frame the bouts for the county seat first, byt was discouraged by tue mayor and chief of police. Later, he almost fixed things up for Dulline- off the bouts in Canemah or West Linn, but countv officials de clared that there would be "nothing doing, ' so McPhelps departed, declar ing that this county didn't appreciate real sport anyway. Oil Graveled Roads The graveled roads and drive-ways about the O. A. C. campus are being treated to a coat of oil. Most of these roads were constructed a couple of years ago and h3ve stood up well under the heavy strain of campus use and scores of outomobiles that daily pass over them on business or sight-seeing. Clay and the dust of wearing gravel have been the only binding matter used up to the present. "Printing with a punch" at the Courier. Population of Clackamas County Still Increasing, Report According to the second quarterly report of the year, issued by the the State Board of Health, the popu lation of Clackamas county is still in creasing, and there are more girls than boys helping this increase. The report covers the months ot April May and June, and show a net in crease in the population for this per iod of 68 souls. During the three months 65 girls were born, while only 56 boys enter ed upon the eventful business of life. During the same time 20 women died, and 33 men also passed in their chips. According to the state board of health there were also three mar riages during the period; but the state board of health's vital statistics regarding marriages are always weird. In April and May the girls had the best of it in the matter of- births, there being 30 born in April and 23 in May; as compared with 23 boys in April and 15 in May. In June, how ever, the' boys took the lead, and 18 of them born, as compared with but an even dozen girls. In each of the three months more men died than wo men, there being 14 men who possed away in April, 10 in May and 9 in June. Women died at the rate of 7 in April, 9 in May and 4 in June. June stood up to its reputation in the matter of marriages, having two of the three recorded. The other came in with April showers. May, which in most sections sees more marriages than any other month, didn't get any on the state's list of vital statistics. " If more girls than boys keep on be ing born in Clackamas county, and if fewer women die than do men, it will not be long before this county be comes a veritable paradise, with a whole raft of female "angels" scatter ed around, and practically no men. STATE GETS COIN And Later Share of Federal Earnings Will Be Given County Accordingto figures just compiled and issued in the report of the Chief of the Division of Accounts, Forest Service, Washington, D.

Louisville, Ky. " I think if more suf fering women would take Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegeta ble Compound they would enjoy better ihealth. I suffered from a female trou ble, and the doctors decided I had a tumorous growth and would have to be operated upon, but I refused as I do not believe in opera tions. I had fainting spells, bloated, and could hardlv stand the pain in my left side. My husband insisted that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful I did, for I am now a well woman. I sleep better, do all my housework and take Jong walks. I never fail to praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for my good health. "-Mrs. J. M. Resch, 1900 West Broadway, Louisville, Ky. Since we guarantee that all testimo nials which we publish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffering in a like manner? If you are ill do not drag along until an operation is necessary, but at once take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., (confidential) Lynn, Mass.

Sunday Trip Arouses Curiosity as to "Perquisites of Office" Does Bill Strandborg, who furnish-1 es "publicity" for the Portland Rail- j way, Light & Power company, 'own J a season pass on the launches that run from Bridgeton to Columbia beach? That's what we want to know. Sunday we usually go to Oak Grove, which is in our own county, and swim and lie upon the sand, and generally lie upon the sand, and gen erally enjoy the beauties of the scene which wander into the range of our gaze. But last Sunday we got to read ing "Watt's Watt,'' which is Bill Strandborg's paper, published in the interests of the railroad that gives him his bread and butter and cake, and we saw a lot about Columbia beach, and noted that the fare from Portland was ten cents. So we start ed for Columbia Beach. At Bridgeton the conductor told us to get off. From the Vancouver trol ley track we could see the beach and the crowds there, but between us and the beach was a slough too wide to swim comfortably, and too deep to wade across. And operating on this slough were launches and fish-boats, which transported the beach-hungry across the slough at five cents a transport, one way. So, instead of sinking a dime into the trip over and back we walked on down to the ferry landing at the end of the line, and dis ported ourselves on the sand there and let the wind blow more sand into our eyes every time we looked at where a crowd of men were violating the state labor laws by working on the preparation for the interstate bridge, And then we came home and wished we had gone to Oak Grove. Now, as Bill didn't say anything about the extra five cents that one has to give up to the launches, we wonder if he has a pass; for in "Watt's Watt'' he said the fare to Columbia beach was ten cents from Portland. When Orton E. Goodwin, the emi nent Englishman, was press-agent for this thing down on the river bank, near the Sellwood sewer, called the Oaks, he used to say in his adver tisements that one could get from Portland to the Oaks on the cars of the P. R. L. & P. Co., or by launches. And we asked him one day why he mentioned the launches and he show ed us a pass he had on Merrill's launches to the Oaks. So that is why we wondered about Bill Strandborg and the launches to Columbia Beach. , CAUGHT SOME FISH Robert Ginther, of Maple Lane, said to have made Record Report has it that good school teachers are experts with the rod. This may be so, and it may not. But it appears that Robert Ginther is an expert with one kind of a rod, any way; even if it is not the kind that you spare and spoil the child. Mr. Ginther is going to teach school at Maple Lane again this year. And in preparation for this arduous work he spent the last two weeks with his family on an outing at Wilhoit and along Rock creek. Also he fished. He returned the latter part of last week feeling all fit for the opening of school, and said he had enjoyed his -outing immensely. Also it appears that Mr. Ginther caught 2,000 trout during the two weeks. Not about 2,000; but 2,000 by actual count. This is a pretty fine record, and comes near the one made by Judge Seviers and Tom Burke, the trip they took up Mt. Hood, just before the forest fires broke out. PEACHES PAY V(ELL j Glen ' Echo Orchardist Finds Crop Ample and Profitable Charles Moran has a third of an acre planted to peaches on his ranch at Glen Echo, which is situated be tween Gladstone and Jennings Lodge, and which keeps those two loving towns from invading each other. Mr. Moran's peach trees are five years old, and they are bringing him in a handsome yield. From his third of an acre so far this year he has sold a hundred bush els of peaches, and they are good, nice and fine peaches. And he has averaged $1.12 per bushel, so far; with the market crying for more. This, for five-year old trees, is pret ty good, and Mr. Moran is very hap- py. This makes it appear that Clacka mas county can put out just as good peaches as Wasco county, or as the Yakima valley, in Washington and that is saying considerable. We know Mr. Moran's peaches are good, for we haver sampled them. Comment from Afar The Estacada Progress is still on the trail of that $1600 which was sup posed to be spent for oil on the Pa cific Highway between Aurora and Oregon City. It believes it has dis covered that the money has been di verted to the buying of road machin ery for Ed Old's road district and oil for the roads in hiB neighborhood. It does not say how Olds persuaded the county court to hand over the money for the purposes specified. It might be well to accept this piece of infor mation with a mental reservation as to its accuracy. Despite the efforts of the Progress to create the impres sion that Olds is the whole thing in Clackamas County, we cling to the be lief that the county court is still run ning the affairs of that county and doing it In a fairly creditable man ner. (Aurora Observer.) Delegates Named Judge Anderson, for the county court, has named the following as delegates from this county to the con ference to be hid at Salem to discuss the Oregon-California land grants: Charles Pope, J.

Oregon City, Ore. SOMEBODY IS WRONG Paper and Sheriff Disagree about Finding of Prisoner Last week Mr. Wilson, who works in the sheriff's office with Mr. Hack ett, came into the county seat with a presumazly demented man named Fisher. The sheriff told reporters that he had been chasing Fisher all day in the Molalla country, and that the chase had tired him out. In fact Billy said he had a very hard time locating the man. And nobody doubted this until Sat urday, when the Molalla Pioneer came' out and said: "L. C. Hubbard took a man by the name of Fisher to Oregon City last Monday and turned him over to the sheriff. Fisher was about three miles south of Molalla and had frightened the women by his shouting. He had been in the sheriff's care once before but his parents at Portland had prom ised to take care of him and he was turned over to their custody. He is about forty years old and seems quite harmless but should not be at large. He gave Hubbard no trouble. H. N. Everhart accompanied him." MUST WORK ON FARM O. A. C. Students Can't Get Degrees Unless They Earn 'Em The 0. A. C. School of Agriculture announces that in order to receive de grees in agriculture all students will be required to have had experience in the work in which they are majoring. This experience may have been secur ed either before entering upon the course or during its progress by work during collge vacations. In conform ity with this ruling a large number of students of agriculture have spent the . present summer in working on farms, either in horticulture, field crops, animal husbandry or dairying.
