WIRELESS SAVES MANY
Government Report Shows Messages
From Sky of Great Value
During the fiscal year 1915 the
radio inspectors of the United States
Bureau of Navigation reported 26 cas
es of vessels leaving American' ports
which met with accident or disaster,
requiring the use of wireless to sum
mon assistance. Four of these were
from fire; 12 were from . running
ashore, stranding or getting into an
ice jam; 3 were from the breakage of
machinery; 4 resulted from collisions;
1 from shifting of cargo; 1 vessel was
storm-battered and water-logged; and
1 was torpedoed,. Excepting in the
case of the Lusitania, which was tor
pedoed, the assistance thus rendered
resulted in but two lives being lost.
Since the close of the fiscal year the
disasters occurring have been:
On September 13, 1915, the Fabre
Line Steamship Sant' Anna, bound
from New York to Naples with 1,700
Italian reservists and crew aboard,
caught fire in mid-ocean and all per
sons on board were saved. The S. O.
S call brought the steamship Anacona
to the assistance of the disabled ves
sel and 600 persons were taken off.
The Sant' Anna then proceeded to port
convoyed by the Ancona, and the en
tire 1,700 passengers and crew were
saved.
Six days after the Sant' Anna dis
aster the Greek liner Athinai, bound
from New York to Pireaeus, caught
fire in mid-ocean and was" abandoned
by the passengers and crew, num
bering 470. The call for assistance
was answered by the steamships Tus-
cania and Roumanian Prince; 341 per
sons were taken on board the Tus
cania, the remaining 129 being taken
off by the Roumanian Prince. The
vessel was entirely destroyed.
The use of radio appartus on ves
sels carrying passengers or with 50
or more in the crew is now accepted
as essential to the safety of those on
board, and the report of the Athinai
shows conclusively that many persons
might have been lost and perhaps the
cause of the disaster never known had
not this vessel been equipped with
radio apparatus.

THATCHER TRIUMPHS AGAIN
'Hill Murderer" Found by "Expert
Criminologist'' is Turned Out
Expert Criminologist ' Thatcher, of
Jwhom Clackamas county hears every
now and then, and who some three
months ago "solved" the Hill murdef
at Ardenwald, and persuaded a deputy
of Sheriff Wilson to arrest one Ed
Ramsey, alias Frederick Alexander,
for the crime; has achieved another
"triumph." The "triumph'' came on
Tuesday morning of this week, when
the grand jury, after thoroughly look
ing into the "unmistakable evidence"
that Thatcher had secured, returned
a not true bill in Alexander's favor.
Ten minutes later Alexander or Ram
sey, of whatever his name is, was on
his way rejoicing.
It will be recalled that at the time
of this man's arrest Mister Thatcher
resented somewhat remarks that were
made in the Courier about the arrest,
and the Portland "expert criminolo
gist" was quite peeved because the
Courier laughed at his "evidence." It
is hoped that Mr. Thatcher will now
transfer his peeve to the grand jury,
which apparently didn't take any
more stock in his dreams than did the
Courier. Having "positively identi
fied" three ''Hill murderers" to date,
perhaps Mr. Thatcher will wait a few
months before finding another one.
And maybe Billy Wilson will not
be so ready to keep open house for
Thateht-r'3 next find, too.
"Paddy" Trembath, who works as
a deputy under Billy Wilson, and who
took a ' deep interest in Alexander,
confided to Chief of Police Ed Shaw
Tuesday afternoon that he knew Alex
ander's real name. Chief Shaw said
he was surprised at the extent of
Paddy's knowledge.
SCHOOL PRINCIPALS MEET
Oregon City Man Elected Head
of
Organization for Year
The schoolmasters' club, composed
of principals of the county schools,
met in Milwaukie this week and lis
tened to speeches by County Super
intendent Calavan and F. J. S. Tooze,
of the county seat. Mr. Callavan urg
ed the holding of school rallies at
frequent intervals and some changes
in the method of teaching spelling.
Mr. Tooze urged debating matches a3
a means of developing individuality
among highschool pupils, and offered
a silver cup to be competed for pro
viding four teams would enter. Mr.
Tooze made it a condition of his of
fer that debaters' should receive no
training except that obtained .from
teachers in the schools which they
attended.
Officers for the coming year were
elected, 'Mr. Tooze being named presi
dent; H. E. Eckles, of Canby, vice
president; J. E. Bpland, secretary.
Officers were also elected for the
Clackamas School league, being chos
en as follows: Principal Tatrow, of
Oregon City, president; Mr. Eckleb,
vice-president; Mr. Tooze, secretary;
Mr. Roland, treasurer, and Mr. Meek,
publicity man. Students from the
Estacada and Molalla schools will
serve with these officers as a student
executive committee.
Following the business meeting the
principals enjoyed a banquet prepar
ed by the domestic science classes of
the Milwaukie schools, after which
adjournment was taken until the
next meeting, which will be held in
Oregon City.
ESTACADA PLAYS WELL
Milwaukie Highschool Defeated by 162
to 0 at Football
Estacada highschool's football elev--
en got into the limelight good and
proper last week when they piled up
their second "century score" in foot
ball this season. Estacada some
weeks ago walloped the Canby football-aggregation
102 to 0; but they
beat this score all to pieces last
Saturday, when they took the Milwau
kie school in tow to the tune of 162
to 0.
The score does not entirely repre
sent the difference in the two teams
as far as skill goes, though it gives a
fair idea of the mass weight of the
Estacada team. Superior use of the
forward pass gave. Estacada most of
her gains against Milwaukie, and the
repeated goals showed that her play
ers were built of sturdy stuff.
In view of what has happened to
Milwaukie and Canby, there is some
inclination to bet that Estacada will
run away with the county champion
ship this year.
ADVICE IS WANTED

of the Courier tell his or her exper

have tried small steel traps several
times, but they do not always work.
If anybody knows of any new traps,

way of destroying this worst pest
with which we are afflicted.

TEMPERANCE MEET HELD
Convention of W. C. T. U. Brings
Cheer to Attending Members
The state convention of the Wo
men's Christian Temperance union
wash eld at Newberg in the Friends'
church. Clackamas county was rap
resented by Mrs. Wolfe, president of
the Molalla Union; Mrs. Full, of Mil
waukie; Mrs. Lillie M. Welter, of
Sunnyside, and Mrs. E. B. Andrews of
Oregon City.
There were 145 present as dele
gates from different parts of the
state. The same officers were re
elected for the coming year, being:
Mrs. Kemp, president; Mrs. Russel,
corresponding secretary; Mrs. Mearer,
recording secretary; and Mrs. Henstan
treasurer.
Of the 40 departments represented
by our organization, some of the
more important ones which we hope
to carry on successfully this year are,
Scientific Temperance Instruction,
Medical Temperance, Medal Contests,
Sunday School, Flower Mission,
Anti Narcotics, Mothers' Meetings,
Press, Good Citizenship, Sabbath Ob
servance Institutes, Work among lum
bermen, Social Meetings and Red
Letter Days, Purity and Revenue
Work and perhaps some other lines of
the work.
Our county received first honors in
three lines of work this past year.
The greatest number of comfort bags
made for lumbermen of any county in
the state; the largest number of es
says written in any county compared
to the membership of the county, and
the largest percent of gain in mem
bership of any county in the state.
This entitled the county president to
a free trip to the National Convention
in Seattle. Among the noted speak
ers in the convention were Dr. Whit-
comb, governor of our state; Mrs.
Lillian Mitchner, state president of
Kansas; Dr. Anderson, of The Dales,
who explained our prohibition law,
and Daniel Poling, president of the
United Societies of C. E.
Governor Withycombe pledged him
self to enforce the law in so far as
it is in the governor's power to do so
and said that we must all, as citizens,
stand together and do our duty.
Daniel Poling is a very fine speak
er and paid a very high tribute to
womanhood and mothers. He said
that John Barleycorn must be slain,
and it could only be done by the vote
of all the citizens, also that failures
in public life keep step with indif
ference in private life; that the aver
age private citizen does not do his
duty and that the average man in
public life does not know his duty. He
said prohibition is the tool; the OP
PORTUNITY, and CAN be enforced
again with great emphasis!
We were all urged in ALL depart
ments of the work to greater, ear
nest, new and faithfulness; that our
work was just started. We must agi
tate, educate and organize, and be con
stantly on the watch. Do our whole
duty as citizens; show our apprecia
tion when officials do their duty, and
be ready to do our part whenever op
portunity presents itself.
The great national convention in
Seattle, where all the states were rep
resented, 435 delegates being present,
was held in the splendid new Ply
mouth (Congregational) church. The
inspiration gained in sitting day after
day and listening to the talented
mothers of our land, and not only the
talented, but the consecrated mothers,
will not be soon forgotten.
The two great thoughts most ofen
expressed were: More Consecraion;
More Earnest Service for the Master,
and National Constitutional Prohibit
ion. The accounts of the rapid growth
in the temperance work and with it
the increased efficiency along all lines
were truly wonderful.
We came home filled with the ear
nest desire to push every practical de
partment of the work into every
neighborhood in our great county of
Clackamas, where we could find one or
two faithful ones who would carry
and superintend the wrk. Dear sis
ters, if you have no Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union in your neigh
borhood, and you feel the need of one,
or see an onportunity, please let us
hear from you and we will help you
in every way possible to organize and
carry on the work.
We take particular pains with the
stationery we print for our customers.

WILL HAPPEN THIS WEEK
Oregon City Will Eat at its Newest
Restaurant on Saturday
Ex-Sheriff E. T. Mass has asked
us not to give this any special promi
nence, because he is a modest man
and hates publicity. But as the Cour
ier tries to print most of the local
gossip and news that is of general
interest, we feel that we will have
to take a chance on displeasing the
ex-sheriff, and tell all about it.
Saturday at eleven o'clock the
doors of Mass's Restaurant and Ho
tel will be opened to the public. In
the restaurant there will be an or
chestra that will furnish sweet strains
of music while local epicures enjoy
the home-cooked food .that will be
served under the personal supervision
of Boniface Mass and his good wife.
And the ex-sheriff says that he will
put p a real feed, and that every
day thereafter the feed will be just
as good and wholesome.
Mass's Hotel and Restaurant, as
it will be called, occupies the reno
vated and rebuilt quarters formerly
graced by the- Brunswick. The
building however, has been completely
altered and made modern, and the
new house will be one of the most
comfortable in the county seat. Ex-
sheriff Mass will cater to both per
manent and transient trade, and in
the restaurant will endeavor to serve
the best meals in the county. He
says that when eggs are ordered he
is going to serve eggs, and not pre
sent his patrons, with "egg-powder"
and water, as has been done in other
hotels in the universe. Mr. Mass al
so admits that his lamb, when serv
ed, will be lamb and not mutton that
has been beaten tender; and adds that
everything will be clean and hot.
Democrats in good standing may
be able to obtain' credit at the new
house for periods not exceeding seven
days, but they will have to prove
that theyare democrats.

BIG THINGS SHOWN
Oregon Display at Fair Brings Mon
ster Plants to Attention of All ....
According to word sent out by the
Oregon commission at the Panama
fair, San Francisco, there is no little
rivalry between the representatives of
different sections of the state in the
effort to secure the largest fruit or
vegetables for display purpose not
that the large stuff really counts ex
cept to attract attention, but simply
that there may be something to boast
about. Up to date the situation
stands thus: Willamette Valley, larg
est apples, weight one pound two
ounces to one pound five ounces;
Eastern Oregon, largest cabbage,
weight 34 pounds, also largest squash,
weight 99 pounds; Southern Oregon,
largest peach, weight 22 ounces; Coos
and Curry counties, largest crabs,
clams and cranberries. Columbia
county has some apples that crowd
the Willamette Valley for first place,
and both Klamath and Coos county
representatives affirm that their sec
tions can produce cabbages that will
beat Lackey's and potatoes will beat
anything in the Universe but can
thev? There is no evidence here
that they can. There is some pros
pect of Southern Oregon getting in on
ithe big Beet,, game Wamrii the
Lane county man here, says he will
have down here within a short time
one squash that will outweigh the
Eastern Oregon whopper by twenty
pounds.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Distribution of Taxes under two Sys
terns Is Plainly Shown
People in Massachusetts, who are
interested in taxation problems should
get in touch with Assessor S. II
Howes, of Southboro, according to the
American Economic league.
Mr. Howes was one of a delegation
that appeared before the State Tax
Commission at Boston on October 7
to discuss proposed changes in taxa
tion. There he presented facts and
figures which, if known to farmers
generally, might make them the most
enthusiastic of Single "Tax advocates.
Mr. Howes showed that the 33
cities of the State occupy about fper-
cent of its area, but have 82 percent
of its land values. So if Massachu
setts were to adopt Single Tax, 82
percent of taxes for State purposes
would be raised from these 33 cities,
while farmers occupying 93 percent
of the State's area would pay but 18
percent. .
WOODBURN MAN HELD
Stanley McKay Arrested for Violating
State Highway Laws
Following a collision between his
automobile and a carriage in which
Miss Marie Harvey and her brother,
B. L. Harvey, were riding, Stanley
McKay, of Woodburn, was technically
arrested in Portland Saturday night
by officers from Clackamas county
and held in $50 cash bail to answer a
charge of violating the state highway
laws. The definite charge against
McKay is that he failed to keep on
the right-hand side of the road and
that he failed to give a passing ve
hicle one-hlf of the roadway.
McKay and a companion left Wood
burn Saturday afternoon and headed
north in his powerful car. It is said
that on his ride he stopped in every
"wef town south of Canby. On the
Twilight road, a short distance south
of Oregon City, the McKay machine
crashed into a carriage in which the
Harveys were riding, breaking it to
kindling wood, and injuring the two
occupants severely. Miss Harvey,
who is a book-keeper with Williams
Brothers, sustained a fractured collar
bone and two broken ribs, and her
brother, an employee of the woolen
mills, had his back hurt and may have
sustained internal injuries.
News of the collision was telephon
ed to Oregon City by farmers who
heard the crash, and Patrolman Wood
ward attempted to stop the McKay
car as it flashed down Main street
and over the suspension bridge. Mc
Kay failed to heed the officer's sig
nal, however. Sheriff Wilson was
notified of the case and asked to have
the car stopped by his deputy at Os
wego, but the Oswego deputy failed
to do anything of the kind. The car
swept on past Oswego, and finally
broke down a short distance from
Portland, where McKay hired a jitney
driver to tow his machine to an East
side garage operated by a friend of
his.
Two hours or more after the acci
dent Sheriff Wilson secured a war
rant for McKay's arrest from District
Attorney Hedges, and then left by
streetcar for Portland. Had the sher
iff telephoned Portland when he was
first told of the accident, Portland of
ficers could have intercepted the car
near the city limits. After the sher
iff's arrival Portland police officials
succeeded in locating the car, but not
its driver. McKay appeared in the.
county seat after reading of the ac
cident in the Sunday morning papers
and surrendered, putting up bail for
his later appearance.
Life Is Indeed Hard

inspect it carefully, state to his con
gregation: "I am going to hit the man
between the eyes who owes the edi

ALCOHOL BRINGS JOY
Joe Susap Obeys Prohibition Ordi
nanc and Gets Drunk
Oregon City's liquor regulations,
more commonly known as the "Jones
anti-booze law," which the Honorable
Christian Schuebel copied from the
statewide prohibition law that' will go
into effect next year, provides that
whiskey, rum, gin and beer may not
be sold within the city limits, but
that ethyl alcohol may be sold for
scientific or mechanical purposes.
Bearing this law carefully in mind,
Joe Susap invested in a pint of ethyl
alcohol Wednesday morning and short
ly began to apply it to mechanical
purposes. The mechanical virtues of
ethyl alcohol are varied, and when
they got to work on Joe's interior
economy he adopted a brand new gait
and mode of proceedure.
Chief Shaw overhauled Joe as he
was coming out of a Chinese restau
rant in the southern end of town.
Joe was going some, under forced
draft, and was a pretty lively Indian.
The Chief corralled him with a half
Nelson hold and started for the city
jail, Joe triumphantly waving his pint
of alcohol en route.
Half way to the jail the Chief and
his prisoner sailed alongside of a car
penter known generally as John Ham
ilton. John was "three sheets in the
wind," but not from ethyl alcohol. He
had secured his load of finer stuff.
Heaving a grappling iron into John's
rigging, the Chief continued his voy
age, and landed both prisoners in the
city jail, where they will sober up
before pleading.
Report has it, and the Chief ad
mits it, that Joe and his ethyl alcohol
also spread joy to the heart of an
other redskin; but the second Indian
made his get-away before the Chief
came on the scene. Joe Susap refus
ed to say where he purchased the aU
cohol that he had imbibed, and the
bottle bears no label that sheds any
light on the matter.
