SHIRT CAUSES WOE Friends Can't See Why They Should Pay for Man's Apparel Men havo fought before now to keep the shirt on their backs, but they haven't often fought to keep from putting a shirt on another man's back. Yet if Joe Morvik, Mike Da vich and Martin Smith can be be lieved, that is what led to a Christ mas stabbing match at ' Cottrell last week that sent Joe Miller to a Port land hospital with a badly carved anatomy. Smith admits that he did the carving, but says it was in self defense, and that Miller started the rumpus. Miller will be out of the hospital shortly, and will then tell his side of the fracas. In the meantime Smith Morvik and Davich are sojourning in the county jail; Multnomah county deputies having captured the first for Sheriff Wilson. . The four men were having a Christmas celebration at Cottrell, and all were perfectly will ing to pay their share of the bill, the three here say; only Miller insisted that they should also pay their share of a shirt that he bought. Discussion of the ethics of paying for another man's shirt led to a fight, and in the fight Miller was badly cut about the face and body. LET BOYS DO IT If You Want to Build a House, Help Out Manual Training Class One of the greatest difficulties of teaching carpentry in the public schools is lack of projects that give the class carpentry work, says F. H. Shepherd, manual training specialist at O. A. C.

Another teacher has been success' ful in carrying out the plan of build ing and completely furnishing (plas tering and excavation excepted) a house of five rooms with bath, pantry, closets, and porches and built-in fur niture. In this case material was fur nished by the owner of the lot who is interested in the school and in boys. .

In Mott European Lands It la Dear and Used Sparingly, Along many parts of the Brittany coast where the land is low you may see the sea salt Industry being car ried on on a large scnle. In the Unit ed States salt is cheaply produced at Inland points by evaporation from salt water pumped from deep wells, but In most ot the countries of Europe the bulk of the salt which Is consumed Is made by the evaporation of sea water. Sea salt Is not so pure as salt whlcb Is produced from wells, as it contains a percentage of salts of magnesium, potassium and lime, with traces of iodine and other elements in addition to the sodium chloride which is the desired substance. But it answers the purpose about as well. The sea water Is let Into great shal low basins or ponds at high tide, the flow being controlled by gates. The sun, which shines very powerfully on the south Breton coast, gradually evap orates the water, and the brine be comes constantly stronger. More wa ter Is let in from time to time until a certain point of saturation Is reached, and then the water is allowed to dry up, and the salt Is left behind as a thin crust or coating on the bottom of the ponds. The salt Is then gathered by means of rakes and scoops. In this form, of course. It Is very Impure, for in taking it up a large amount of dirt is taken up with it It Is piled up, and In due course the action of the rain and weather serves to filter out most of the dirt, and the salt is left in fairly pure condition. As you go along through the salt districts you will see hundreds of these white piles of salt, containing perhaps a ton or so each. The crude salt is flually taken to mills, where it is put through refining processes and made ready for market. Salt brings high prices In most Eu ropean countries. It is such a luxury that the people have to be sparing of it You might wonder why this is when Europe has such a huge coast line and all that Is necessary Is to let the sea water evaporate under the in fluence of Old Sol to produce all the salt any one could want. But here Is where the law steps in. The government assumes that the sea Is its Drooerty, and it will not allow ordinary citizens to make salt from it or in fact make any other private use of it without a license. Poor fishermen In Turkey were put In prison because they boiled sea wa ter and made their own salt. This il licit making of .salt was against the law, Just as the making of spirituous liquor without a proper license from the government Is against the law In this country. Literary Beginners. Robert W. Chambers gave this ad vice to the literary beginner some years ago. says the London Strand, and it holds good today: "Hove something to say and learn by experience how to say It The impor tant thing, to be sure, is something to say. The trouble with most people who try to write stories is that they have nothing t'u write about. Next, don't talk about it; do it A writer can make bis own market. "It Is the only way to do. Write what appeals to you and find a pub lisher who will take it. Don't go to a publisher and ask him what he wants. Make him want what you have to offer. If it is the real thing you won't have much difficulty. You will 'break Into print' with your first effort." The Janizaries. - The Janizaries were the most fear less soldiers the Turkish empire has ever known, and they were not Turks. It has been said that the most zealous religionist Is the convert to the faith, and so it was with these converted Christians. When they took the faith of Mohammed under Sultun Orkhan In 1330 and formed the nucleus of his bodyguard they became the most ex treme Mussulmans. It was they who stormed the walls of Constantinople In i4r,a thn citv that had hitherto been considered Impregnable. St Louis Globe-Democrat Franklin's Fate' Prefigured. The fate of Franklin, the famous ex plorer, was unwittingly prefigured and on the eve of his starting on his last voyage at the hands of his own devot ed wife. As be lay dozing on a sofa Lady Franklin threw something over bis feet on which he awoke in conster nation, saying: "Why, there's a flag thrown over me! Don t you know tnat tbey lay a union Jack over a corpse?" Road Edges. Experts estimate that unused land lying at either side of the country rnnris Is caoable In many cases of bear ing 500 bushels of corn to the mile strip. Thousands of miles of the best European roads are only a rod wide, but Uncle Sam's edge trimming is largely a matter of theory. Exchange. Advancina Ideals.

When his auto crashed into an Es tacada train Sunday morning, Walter Douglass, of Eagle Creek, was se verely hurt, and his wife and three children were badly bruised.

At the time of the accident the Doug lass famly was returnng from a Christmas party at the home of B. F. Cogswell. The Courier has a full line of Legal TWO MILL IDEA HIT District Attorney Says County Court Has No Right to Divide Tax In reply to a request from County Judge Anderson for an opinion upon the two-mill levy for hard surface rad work, as ordered by the taxpay ers' meeting, District Attorney Gil bert Hedges has completed a written report on the matter and forwarded the same to the county court. Mr. Hedges informs the county court that the division of the road levy as pro posed is contrary to the provisions of the budget law and to the general road laws. According to the law, says Mr. Hedges, each district must receive a flat percentage of the road funds, and may expend these funds as seem best to them." If the districts themselves desire to set apart a portion of the tax yield for hard surface purposes, that is their privilege, but the county court is not empowered to make this division for them. The plan proposed at the taxpay ers' meeting was that the eight mill road levy be divided into two mills for permanent road work, one mill for bridge work, and five mills for general road work. BALL TEAM FINED Players Charged with Stealing Suits of Opposing Nine John Timbrooks, S. Base, J. C. Barenburg, W. Simonson, Roy Pop penburg, C. Wicklund, E. A. Thiel, II. Barnard and H. S. Clifford, members of a Portland baseball nine, were con victed of larceny in the justice court at Oswego Monday, and were allowed to settle for the suits in lieu of be ing fined $25 apiece. In addition to this Thiel was fined $50 for contempt of court when he expressed too vio lent an opinion of the testimony of some of the witnesses. The trial grew out of a ball game at Oswego some time ago, when the Portland team won, and was not given its share of the gate receipts. To get efen members of the Portland team broke into the lockers of the Oswego players and appropriated their suits. Philip Hammond, of the county seat, represented the district attorney's office in the case. RIVER ROUTE TO STAY Motorboat Mail Delivery from Mil waukie to be Permanent Two hundred and fifty families liv ing along the Willamette river north and south of Milwaukie have been get ting their mail for the past several months by swift motorboat, in com mand of W. T. Jacks: and so success ful has this service been that the Post Office Department has approved it and ordered it a permanent ,"R. F. D." route. The "marine route" was the idea of Postmaster Haggemann, of Milwaukie, and has carried mail to its patrons with the greatest of speed. Under orders from Washigton the route, known as "River route 3," will now become a daily service, and the launch carrying the mails will fly Ihe United States ensign and have right of way over all other water traffic. It is the only river free delivery route in the state, and has attracted much attention. MILLS GIVE GIFTS Employees Made Happy with Cheques, Cigars and Big Fat Turkeys Oregon City mills made the past Christmas somewhat more joyous than- it might otherwise have been for the employees by distributing a boun tiful supply of largess in the form of turkeys, cigars and checques. .

The Hawley company gave every married man in its employ a fat turkey, and the single men got boxes of "bit" ci gars. Men who were engaged in repair work over the holidays got double time cheques, aside from their regular gifts; making the Christmas pleasant even for those who had to do emer gency work. From Christmas morn ing to Monday morning not a wheel turned in any of the big plants. MRS. G. W. DOTY DEAD Bolton Woman Succumbs to Illness of but Four Days Duration Mrs. George W.

Dr. Eberle and Dr. Braithwaite as well as Dr. Simon all distinguished authors agree that whatever may be the disease, the urine seldom fails in furnishing us with a clue to the princi- . pies upon which it is to be treated, and accurate knowledge concerning the nature of disease can thus be obtained. If backache, scalding urine or frequent urination bother or distress you, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheu matism, gout or sciatica or you suspect kidney or bladder trouble just write Dr4 Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.Y.; send a sample of urine and de scribe symptoms. You will receive free medical advice after Dr.Pierce's chemist has examined the urine this will be carefully done without charge, and you will be under no obligation. Dr. Pierce during many years of experimentation has discovered a new remedy which he finds is thirty-seven times more power ful than lit hi a in removing uric acid from the system. , If you are suffering from backache or the pains of rheuma tism, go to your best druggist and ask for a 50-cent box of "Amsrie" put up by Dr. Pierce. Dr. tierce's Favorite Prescription for weak women and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the blood have been favorably known for the past forty years and more. They are standard remedies to-day as well as Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for the liver and bowels. You can get a sample of any one of these remedies, by writing Dr. Pierce.
