Grand Theatre To Offer "A Woman's Resurrection" On Friday Charlie Schram. who runs the Grand Theatre in Oregon City, and who recently put his projection screen back about 30. feet, so that front row seats are just as good as those in the rear of the house,' announces that to morrow, Friday, he will offer, for one day only, "A Woman's Resurrection," which is a film form of Count Leo Tol stoi's great novel. Betty Nansen will have the leading role, and others in the cast have been specially chosen for their ability to portray the diffi cult roles in which the drama abounds. The scene of this great and grip ping play is laid in Russia, and runs through all extremes from the regal splendor of the receptions in the cap ital to the bleak; dreariness of the Si berian wastes. Faithful attention to detail has been given In mounting the drama, and patrons of the Grand will find the film not only absorbingly in teresting, but of great edcuational and historical value as Well. " 3 SR. Irf Betty Nansen, the Danish beauty whose acting for the screen in the production of "A Woman's Resurrec. tion" has been one of the sensations of pictureland. Just before the out break of war she banked with the Bank of France a considerable sum of money which she had received from moving picture concerns in Paris. With the opening of hostilities the banks in France ceased paying de posits generally. The other day Miss Nansen therefore was surprised to re ceive a draft from the Bank of France for 180,000 francs. Several fashion able dress-makers along Fifth Ave nue, New York City, are also rejoic ing in this fact, for Miss Nansen promptly invested most of her check in new and wonderful frocks all of which she wears upon the screen. Line to go under cut Betty Nansen In One of Big Scenes in "A Woman Resurrection'' NEW STYLE COMES Canes May Be in Vogue After First of Year, Especially in Oregon If you see a sudden outbreak of canes in Clackamas county after the first of the year, don't be surprised. There is quite a good chance that canes will become popular with some folk in fact they are selling them in Portland in some of the stores already. The canes are lovely things, nicely polished, and with silver and gold tops. However, they are more than canes. The metal tops unscrew and reveal within the cane a long, narrow bottle, that will hold about three pints of any liquid that it may be deemed best to pour into the,u. It is expected that these canes will prove quite popular with people who expect to need more than the legal 24 quarts of beer and two quarts of booze in fact it is for that purpose that they have been in vented. When you se a cane after the first of the year don't surmise that the man carrying it is lame smell his breath instead!

OVERLAND TURNS OVER Washington County Man and Wife Have Narrow Escape from Death What might have been a fatal acci dent occurred last Monday morning, wheri George McKibbon's new Over land skidded, slipped off the roadway and turned completely over. Mrs. Mc- Kibbon received painful injuries, hav ing several ribs broken, and other in ternal injuries, but at the present time she is getting along nicely, and un less unforseen complications arise, will recover. She is at the Forest Grove Hospital, under the care of Dr. Kauffman. Early Monlay morning, Mr. McKib. bon, with his wife and five children, started for Salem to attend the State Fair. He was going along the road just this side of Gaston, where the Scoggins Valley road turns off, when he ran into a wet place in the road, just at the bridge. ' He turned slight ly to avoid a patch on the bridge, the machine skidded, slipping to one side of the road and against the railing, sliding along the railing to the end of the bridge. Once past the railing the car ran off the four or five foot em bankment, and turned completely over landing on its wheels again. Mrs. McKibbon was with her husband in the front seat, and the children in the rear seat. All remained in the car when it went over except one child, but none received injuries, other than bruises and scratches, except Mrs. Mc Kibbon. (Washington County News- Times.) GALA DAY PLANNED Active Boosters of Community Take Up Scheme to Celebrate Water Preliminary plans for a celebration of, the county seat's acquisition of pure mountain water have been for mulated along the. lines suggested by the Oregon City Courier some two weeks ago. At a luncheon given in the Commercial club rooms this week a committee was named to take up the work of arranging for the cele bration, and rapid progress is expect ed. The committee consists of W. A. Huntley, L. L. Pickens, Dr. Hemp stead, E. E. Brodie, E. R. Brown and Chris Schuebel. Among the features of the celebra. tion that are already practically as sured are the throwing open of Ore gon City's great industrial plants to visitors on the day when the pure mountain water will be formally wel comed in the city; a grand ball in the evening on Seventh street, between the elevator and Main street, and a civic parade in the morning. Other features will be worked out as rapidly as possible. LOCAL BEEF HAS CHANCE Care in Stock Raising All That Is Needed in Western Oregon "I have often heard it said that good beef cannot be produced any where in Western Oregon," says Pro fessor E. L. Potter, of the O. A. C. Animal Husbandry department, "and that feeds are not suitable for mak ing good smooth cattle. After care ful investigations I am convinced that this is not true. Just as good beef can be produced in Western Oregon as in any other part of the state. In ferior quality is not due to poor nat ural conditions or to poor feed and grazing. "It is due almst entirely to inferior cattle. A very large portion of the steers are of a most miserable breed ing, mixed Jerseys and non.descrepit stuff, resulting in animals that ure undersized, without any meat on their backs, and exceedingly rough." Mrs. Notz Dies Mrs. Albert Notz, for 17 years a resident of Clackamas Station, died at her home late Thursday afternoon of last week. Mrs. Notz was a na. tive of Switzerland, and came to Ore gon 26 years ago, settling first in Portland. Later she moved to Clacka mas, where the funeral was held Sun day afternoon. Her husband, one brother and five children survive her. Adams Department Store OREGON CITY'S BUSY STORE IliHIIIIIIllllllllllillllllllllllllllll ini.f iiiiiiiniii! in in ! i it' i ti i!iti ii iiiin t mini ; J!ii ml Adams PROHIBITION COMMENTS Oregon Law School Journal Offers the Following Observations In those days of long ago when they changed water into wine, made water leap from barren rocks, when bread fell from the skies and a basket full of fish fed thousands, one opines that wonders coming no plentifully did not stir the people so much as wonders of the late century do. The latest wonder of the Twentieth century has occurred. Thee lergy, generally speaking, are against strict prohibition. Reports from England announce that the clergymen there are inclin. ed to violate the law. In our own country, in various sections, we note the disposition to fight the prohibition amendment. It gives one a suspens ion of judgment when it is noted that the very persons whom wes hould think would be the first to battle for tctal abstinence, are against the op portunity to enact it practically. If it has come to pass that religious wor ship can not be had without liquor as it accompaniment, we wonder what all the shout has been about. Why decry the workingman's use of liquor, if the church must have it to get your soul into that far off haven of eternal rest? If a church can't run without liquor, why expect the enterprises of mammon to get by without it? Is it up to mammon to teach the clergy the proper moral road for mankind? BURLESQUERS ARE HIT' Troupe That Showed at Local Theatre Receives Call from Officer Constable Jack Frost went up to the Star theatre, Oregon City, last Saturday night and "counted up'' for the Frank Rich musical burlesque company, which apparently had done mighty poor business, for there was only $2.25 in the box office at the time. This wasn't enough to satisfy Jack, for he had a court order to col lect $45 for alleged unpaid salary of a musician that the troupe discarded in Portland. In lieu of the other $24.75 Con stable Frost attached such general belongings and scenery of the com pany as he could find. This didn't amount to a whole lot, because the company was mostly "traveling on its wardrobe," and the real scenery had been shipped to Aberdeen, where the burlesquers are due to show next. But Jack got some stuff, and the show at Aberdeen will be even less decorated than it was here. SLANDER SUIT FILED Defendant Alleged to have Sought Protection from Outcome Mrs. Amy A. Nelson, of Boring, has filed suit at Oregon City against John Miller of the same place for slander. She has asked $12,000 as a balm for her lacerated feelings. It is stated that the Nelsons work ed for Miller on his farm and after they left the latter endeavored to have Mrs. Nelson return and become his housekeeper. Upon her refusal he is said to have made derogatory remarks concerning her character. It is also stated that Miller trans ferred his land and farming interests to other persons to avoid paying any possible judgment.

He had been ill for many months, and little hope had been entertained by his friends of his re covery. Mr. Hayford was 74 years of age, and was an honored member of Meade Post, No. 2, G. A. R. Mr. Hayford was twice severely wounded, the first time in front of Richmond and the second time at the battle of Gettysburg.

GRAND JURY CALLED Inquisitors To Meet Next Monday To Take Up Important Cases District Attorney Hedges has is sued a call for the hold-over grand jury to convene next Monday, when a number of important matters will be presented to it for consideration. Aside from the cases of a number of men now held in the county jail or re leased on bonds, there are some mat ters the nature of which are being closely guarded. It is expected that the report of the grand jury-will be of more than usual importance, and when its findings are made public it is believed that considerable surprise will be felt. Minister Gives Testimony The Rev. C. M. Knighton, Havanna, Fla., writes: "For three months I Buffered intense pain in kidneys and back, which at times laid me up en tirely. I read of Foley Kidney Pills and after trying various remedies without result I decided to try the Foley treatment. I was relieved al most with the first does and it is a fact that I used only 1 bottles when all of the pains disappeared. I am 55 years of age and now feel like a young man again. ' Jones Drug Lo Father Moore had received most of his early schooling at the Verboort public school. The oversight was un intentional. Says the correspondent in part: "We naturally expected to read about his school training which was experienced in Verboort when the well known Sister Antonia was the best disciplinarian that the Dutch settle ment had ever had and when urchins received the salutory training of the rod when necessary instead of the soft words that in these days fail to turn away the biblical wrath just because the Holy Ghost method is so little or not a tall applied. The false hu manity of modern pedagoging has al most driven the once healthy rod out of the school. "And be it well known henceforth that the Verboort parish is the mother church of about every new existing parish or mission in Washington coun ty, with the exception of Tigardville and Cedar Mill or Beaverton, and the little round top known as Cooper Mountain. Verboort gave life to the surrounding country and still con tinues to give life with unabated strength." (BankB Herald.) FINE FOR THE WEST Writer in "Science" Discovers that Noted Peope are Moving Here A writer in a recent number of "Science" has been interested in the movements of noted people in the United States, and has discovered that there is a steady progress of men of unusual brain power from the east to the west and from the south to the north. The investigations have been made by means of the names of people listed in "Who's- Who," a Chicago publication that gives the life stories of people who have gained general prominence in the United States. Careful analysis of the movement of the these people shows that approx imately 16 percent of them have mi. grated to the Pacific 'Coast states, while a smaller percent has moved from the south to more nrothern lat itudes. In fact the only southern state which , has retained its share of notable people is Florida. The New England states have particularly suf fered in this movement of genius to the west, none of the New England divisions having been able to hold as many of their notable sons and daugh ters as have migrated to the west. While the Rocky Mountain Btates have attracted many of these people . of note, it is an interesting and grati fying fact to discover that Washing ton, Oregon and California have at tracted byfar the greater number; so that in the matter of brain power this side of the continent is far in the lead of the older section of the country. New England has led in the produc tion of men of genius, with the Mid dle Atlantic states running second in productiveness; but the Pacific slope has drawn these people away rapidly, and they have made their homes in the western section of the United States. This discovery proves what all of us have long known that this is the best part of the world, and that wise people appreciate that fact. "Printing with a punch" at the Courier. SERIOUS CHARGE MADE Milwaukie Court Officials and Law yers Named in Suit Alleging that Justice of the Peace J. R. Kelso, of Milwaukie; George I. Brooks and Arthur Cotzhauser, attor. neys, and their clients, Orella E. and A. Russa all entered into a conspir acy, Mrs. Fern E. Matthews has filed suit against them for $5,000. In her suit Mrs. Matthews also named A. L. Reed, constable at Milwaukie, and accuses him of being drunk and with threatening to do her bodily harm. The complaint, filed.for Mrs. Mat thews by O. W. Eastham, sets forth that the defendants deprived her of her furniture without legal action, that Justice Kelso was a party to the plot, and that Constable Reed went to the Matthews house with a wagon, and at the point of a gun, forced Mrs. Matthews to permit the seizure of the furniture. FREAK EGGS DISPLAYED White Leghorn Hen Lays Large and Small Size Products Mrs. L. E. Robbins, of Logan, last week brought in to the Courier two eggs, both of which were perfect in shape and quality; but which differed materially in their size. The eggs were later placed on exhibition in the windows of Huntley Brothers' store. The wide range of the hen's taste in the matter of eggs was shown from the fact that one of the omelette makers measured six and a quarter by eight inches; while the other one measured but two and three-eighths by two and seven-eighths inches.
