Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Hultberg were Portland visitors Monday. The Commercial Club of Oswego is trying hard to get 300 paid-in-advance subscriptions to assure a week ly newspaper at that place. Miss Glendora Hultberg, who has been at Seaview, Ore., for the last three months, is visiting at her home in Hazel ia. She will go to Portland Monday to resume her studies in that place. Guy MacVay was selling produce on the market Friday in Portland. Little Lena Lehman has been spend ing a few days in Oswego with her grandmother. There were no church services at Hazelia Saturday evening as the Rev. Mr. Coleman was holding protracted meetings at Clackamas. Master Wilber and Donald Lehman are ill with a light attack of chicken- pox. Miss Marian Eastman was a visit or at the home of her Uncle. Max McMahon, this week. Glendora, Abner and Stanley Hult berg Bpent Saturday evening with C. Antone and Shirley Boutz. Miss Harriet Duncan left Sunday for George, Oregon where she will re- sume her duties as "schoolmarm. Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Hultberg en tertained guests from Portland at dinner on New Years day. A couple of Hazelia cabbage cul tivators thought their cabbage weren't quite profitable enough, so they have quit the cabbafie fields und went to prospecting for Indian graves, which were fruitless, with the exception of a few holes in the ground that they left on the mountains, for the Indians were too wise to bury anything of value in a place where "Heap White Man" was likely to look. Everyone awoke on the New Year to find the ground covered with a beautiful mantle of snow, which sure ly was a welcome change at this place, from so much rain. Now we have the Anti-Booze law next we want to see the Anti-Political Machine law. Oregon's going dry didn't affect Hazelia, as most of the people from this place are anti-booze and believe in woman's suffrage. The mailcarriers' holiday Saturday was a welcome change after carrying so much Christmas mail. We think they should have Christmas day also. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Zivney spent New Year's day with Mr. and Mrs. Molly near Garden Home. There was quite and exciting time at A. Helm's a few days ago, when his house caught fire. Fortunately the fire was put out before much damage was done. Snowballing and snowman building seem to be the order of the day amongthe Hazelia youngsters. There are some real rtists among them, too, from the looks of some of their fine snow men. Mr. and Mrs. George Nagel were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Bor land Friday evening. 4 Mrs. Charley Larson is visiting in Washington with her daughter and sister. Miss Imogen Jewel resumed her school duties at Hazelia Monday, after spending the holidays at her home in Portlund. Mr. and Mrs. II. Benner are the proud parents of a baby boy, born Christmas (lay. Mrs. lienner was formerly Miss Anna Borland. Mr. and Mrs. Max McMahon were entertained at the John Wanker home Sunday. C. C. Borland and son, Harry, at tended Grange at Sherwood Saturday and helped install all the new ofllcers. Mr. Borland is Master of Oswego Grange. J. Johnson transacted business in Oswego Monday. He is a jolly good farmer of this place. Mrs. E. R. Boyer and daughter, Edna, visited with Mrs. Franz Keisner on Claybourne Ave., Portland a couple of days last week. Everyone wants to get out early to avoid the rush at the literary meet ing next Saturday night, as the com mittee is going to have some programme. Mrs. Ill II. Blake visited the dent ist in Portland Tuesday. She made the trip via P. & O. C. jitney. The following people enjoyed the excellent musicale given by Mrs. H. II. Blake: A. Heinrich and wife; Mr. and Mrs. J. Searles and Elsie and Margie McNair, E. R. Boyer and family; Miss Martha Killies and Mrs. Schuren. MOUNTAIN VIEW EAST CLACKAMAS If it keeps on snowing we can soon go sleigh riding, but we look for the Oregon mist pretty soon. It is too warm to snow much. Chas. Lischke.is wood rating for Mr. Getz at present. Born, to A. nnd F. Pane, a 11 pound boy. Sunday morning all par ties concerned reported doing well.

Dane transacted business in Portland Tuesday. Mrs. Shearer has been under tho weather several days trying to over come the la grippe. The following people spent the time consumed at tho watch party at A. Heinrichs: J. W. Bennet and fam-' ily; A. Dane and family; E. R. Boyer and family; A. Dane, and Albert Capps and Dr. Weir, of Portland. A fine lunch was served by the hostess. Albert Capps spent part of the holi days with his undo, J. W. Bennett. Dr. Weir, of Portland, spent Janu ary first at the Cedar Springs ranch and the way the fried chicken dis appeared was a caution. L. M. Haworth is recovering from an attack of la grippe. The youngsters have surely had a joyful time coasting and snow balling during the past week. Mrs. Booher, living on Duane street, fell on the walk at her home recently and broke her limb near the hip. Dr. Mount was called and set the broken limb. She is 76 years old and not very strong, so it will be some time before she will be able to be up. Wiley May and wife are both very feeble at present. Mrs. Faust, a sis ter of Mrs. May, was here several days caring for her. , John Darling died at his home here Saturday night, January 1st after an illness of several months. Mr. Darling was a quiet, unassuming man, a good neighbor and will be greatly missed. He leaves a wife and one son, and two daughters, Mrs. Frank Beard, of this place, and Mrs. Armstrong, residing in California. The funeral was held at the family residence on Monday at two o'clock. Rev. W. T. Milliken of the Baptist Church, officiating. Many old neighbors and friends gathered at the home. Mr. Darling had lived in Oregon about 35 years and at the time of his death was 65 years of age. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Mul ligan has been quite ill at the home of hh? grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Van Hoy. Mr. and Mrs. Monyhan will move into the house belonging to Mrs. Imler as soon as it can be improved. Wm. May went to Camas, Washing ton, where he has work for a time. We sec that the name of Perl Sel by is to come before the primary for the office of County Recorder. Perl is a model young man, who has work ed hard to get a college education, and he surely is worthy of the honor, but it will take lots of grit to race with some of these political pushers who are out for county offices. We understand there is a move on foot to cut off a part of Highland on the East and give the piece cut off a new name, as Highland is quite a large territory and should be divided up. As it is now, there is North Highland, South Highland, Upper Highland, Lower Highland and just plain Highland, so when one speaks of Highland it is hard to tell what they are talking about. On New Year's day . Highland Grange met and installed their officers and then in the evening gave their programme and basket social, after which the room was cleared and danc ing began, which lasted till morning. All seemed to enjoy themselves. There is but little snow, but the ground is frozen so that all work is at a standstill except keeping hearth warm. Mr. Smidt, who bought the Cramer place, was out with one of his sons cold weather. They have been coast ing considerably. These days look rather wintry. HIGHLAND Mrs. John Helm, who has been laid up with rheumatism for some time, is much better and able to walk a little. Elmer Graves was farming out his seed graita few days ago preparatory to seeding as soon as the ground is in condition. STONE The old year has wrapped his mantle around himself and gone for ever, with his joys and sorrows. The glad New Year has come in, dressed in a robe of white (the first snow of the winter). Each day of the year is a page in the book of our lives and as we live and do, the pages will be kept pure and clean, or they will be blotted and scarred up. Let us all try to live so we will not be ashamed for the final judge to read our lives. The saloon has disappeared now, so there is more hope of raising the the young generation without the tempta tion of one great evil. J. L. Mumpower is quite poorly. Grant Mumpower lost his best horse looking over his place one day last a few days ago, due to some strange week. He has not decided when he disease. will move out here. Frank Hatton is having a well Leroy Guard is down from Salem, drilled; has gone down sixty-five feet where he is attending school. He is and has found no water yet. visiting friends at present.

Nothing of much interest seems to be occurring around here lately, so R. L. Holman and T. P. Randall, news is rather scarce.

Some of the people have been en joying themselves since the snow and Our young folk attending school, were all home through the holidays. They and the rest of the young people here made good use of the holiday season by attending parties at sev eral places. Mrs. Guell, our operator, was visit ing her people up the valley last week, while Miss Lulla Schwartz acted as substitute. Our population has increased by two. Mrs. Earl Allen and Mrs. Al fred Schneider presented their re spective husbands with a helper. It was mean of the European na tions to spoil President Wilson's honeymoon, and call him back to Washington from the southern pines. This is but another proof of the fact that war is what General Sherman said it was. Twenty-two Millions Spent in America Combatting Tuberculosis Figures indicating the growth of the anti-tuberculosis campaign in the United States show that in the year 1905 about $5,000,000 was spent in this movement while during the year 1915 over $22,500,000 was spent. These fi gures are part of the annual statis tical statement of The National Asso ciation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The statement is based in part on actual reports receiv ed from anti-tuberculsos agencies throughout the country and in part on estimates made by the Association. In 1905 probably less than $100,000 was spent for anti-tuberculosis work other than the care of tuberculosis patients in a few poorly equipped san atoria and hospitals. In 1915 over 1,400 anti-tuberculosis associations spent nearly $1,225,000 in organization and education. Special tuberculosis dispensaries, of which there are 450, spent over $1,150,000 in examining, advising and treating patients. Open air schools, of which there were none in 1905, spent more than $350,000 in teaching and treating anemic and tu berculosis children, while nearly $750,000 was spent in the care of tuberculosis insane and prisoners. Sanatoria and hospitals for the care of consumptives, nearly 600 of them, spent $19,250,000. Much of this sum was contributed by private, pay-patients, but the greater part, over $12,000,000, was paid by federal, state, city and county boards for free treat ment. As an indication of the way in which the burden of the care of con sumptives is being shifted to the public's shoulders, where it rightly belongs , the National Association points out that in 1905, as nearly as can be estimated, less than 25 per cent of the total expenditure of $5,000,000 for tuberculosis was from public funds, while in 1915, nearly 65 per cent or $14,500,000 was from this source. New York State again leads the states with the largest total expendi ture of nearly $5,000,000, with Penn sylvania second, and Illinois third. R. L. Holman and T. P.
