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. "

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.

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!

ever used. Does not gripe no un

Louise Strong, of Seattle, will talk
on Child Welfare. Miss Strong will
appear under the special auspices of
the Burns Society, and her remarks

Two Children Had Croup
The two children of J. W. Nix, mer
chant, Cleveland, Ga., had croup last
winter. One was a boy of 6, the other
a girl of 8 years. Mr. Nix writes:
"Both got so choked up they could
hardly breathe and couldn't talk. I
gave them Foley's Honey and Tar and
nothing else and it entirely cured
them.'' This reliable medicine should
11 in every home for it gives immed
iate relief from colds, coughs and
croup, heals raw inflamed throat and
looses phlegm. Jones Drug Co.

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.

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.

Faxon Hayford, Hero of Many En
gagements, Dies at Gladstone
A member of the famed First Min
nesota infantry, which fought in every
engagement of the army of the Poto
mac during the Civil War, Faxon
Hayford died last Friday at his home
in Gladstone. 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. At Gettysburg
the First Minnesota was ordered to
hold Longstreot's entire corps - in
check until Hancock could get the
second corps in line. The regiment
was almost annihilated, only 42 sur
viving the charges of the confeder
ates. Two sons in Minnesota, a daughter
in California and an adopted daughter
in Gladstone survive Mr. Hayford. He
came to Oregon, Clackamas county
many years ago from Minnesota.
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.

without result I decided to try the

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.

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.
