NEW COUNCIL MEETS
He Could Hardly Go
"About two years ago I got down
on my back until I hardly could go,"
writes Solomon Bequette, Flat River,
Mo. "I got a 50c box of Foley Kid
ney Pills and they straightened me
right up." Common symptoms of
kidney trouble are backache, head
ache, rheumatic pains, soreness and
stigness, puffiness under eyes, blur
red vision, sleep disturbing bladder
troubles, and a languid, tired feeling.
Foley Kidney Pills help to eliminate
the poisonous waste matter that caus
es these symptoms. Jones Drug Co.
s Night School May Be Started
The committee appointed by the
Christian Young People's League to
investigate the demand for a night
school in Oregon City has secured
several names to-date. Two teachers
have volunteered their services, and if
the demand is sufficient the school
board may give their support to the
plan.
The common English branches will
be taught, and others on demand. The
cost per student will not be very
large.
Those interested in this matter are
requested to leave their names at the

From Farm to Kitchen
The Argentine postal authorities
have begun a house-to-house distribu
tion, "from farm to kitchen," which
promises to give excellent results and
to help to lower the cost of living,
noticeably quite as high in South
America as in other parts of the
world. Post offices in hte interior of
the country are now equipped so that
they can accept produce, and in fact
all articles wanted for home consump
tion, and deliver these packages di
rect to the consumer in the shortest
time possible. Distribution will be
made as in the case of ordinary mail
matter, and at only a slightly addition
al cost.

Twenty-five Minute Session Heard by
Big Crowd of Citizens
Mayor E. C. Hackett presided over
his first council meeting Monday
evening, and rushed things through in
25 minutes. The meeting was called
to order promptly at half past seven,
and was almost devoid of fireworks.
Mayor Hackett announced the appoint
ment of Lowell Blanchard as chief of
police; and read a message to the
council, in which he urged co-operation,
strict economy, development of
the city's water power and the instal
lation of a municipal electric plant,
good roads and the employment of
Oregon City people on public work.
The only rift in the lute of the
Hackett regime developed when the
election of a councilman to succeed
Mr. Hackett came up. Mr. Hackett
suggested James Roake. Mr. Al
bright opposed Mr. Roake, saying that
he was opposed to pure mountain
water and that he had been opposed
to the elevator and ether improve
ments, and suggested Mr. Shindler.
Mr. Hackett expressed the opinion
that the councilman from the ward in
which the vacancy existed had the
sole right of nominating; but Mr.
Templeton quoted the charter in op
position to this view.
The vote stood four to four, Al
bright, Metzner, Templeton and An
drews supporting Mr. Shindler, and
the others supporting Mr. Roake.
Mayor Hackett promptly cast the de
ciding vote, and Mr. Roake was de
clared elected, and took his seat.
In naming the committees Mayor
Hackett left Councilman Andrews off
the list, and while Mr. Andrews said
this satisfied him, a revise of the com
mittees was ordered. Other appoint
ments were slated for the regular
meeting Wednesday, of which a full
account will be found elsewhere.

PURE WATER DRAWS
Willamette Votes 107 to 23 to Consoli
date with West Linn
With South Fork pure mountain
water as the lure, citizens of Willa
mette voted on Monday to merge their
community with the city of West Linn,
there being 107 votes in favor of an
nexation and only 23 against. West
Linn voted to annex Willamette early
in December. West Linn has South
Fork water, and Willamette figured
that the cheapest way to get it was to
join the manufacturing town on the
west bank of the river.
C. B. Willson was re-elected mayor
of Willamette, and will hold office un
til the two cities merge. For the first
year there will be no councilmanic
representative of Willamette in the
West Linn aldermanic meetings.

SLIGHTED A HERO,
ft N
Later on the Coaching Party Got
a Startling Surprise.
A HOST WHO PROVED A SNOB.
Ho Thought Hit Guest Was Not Classy
Enough to Travel With Him and His
Friends, but Waked Up After Awhile
to Find Him the Lion of the Day.
Here is one of Captalu James A.
Scrymser's best anecdotes, which he
did not put In his volume of personal
reminiscences of peace and war:
After the close of the war between
the states In 1805 Secretury of War
Stanton, at the suggestion of President
Johnson, selected Major General Fran
cis C. Barlow as the bearer of certain
dispatches to tbe American minister,
Mr. Adams, la London. It later de
veloped that tbe main purposo of this
mission was to allow the English army
officials to know Major Genera) Bar
low, he being deemed by tbe president
and secretary of war an excellent
specimen of a youthful volunteer gen
eral, who had served gallantly through
out the war.
General Barlow sailed for England
with his official dispatches, and short
ly after his arrival he was presented
to the Duke of Cambridge, then com
mander In chief of her majesty's
forces, by Mr. Adams, our minister,
and likewise to other high military
officials.
Of course General Barlow received
many Invitations and was able to
accept but few. One Invitation which
he did accept was for a week end
party at the house of a well known
major general of the British army, re
siding a few miles from Aldershot
On his arrival Barlow found a very
gay house party, made up of distin
guished social "Hons and lionesses."
I have not the slightest doubt that
Barlow held bis own In this distin
guished company, although these high
army officials of her majesty's serv
ice evidently drew a sharp line be
tween volunteer and regular officers.
This fact Barlow fully realized the
Saturday morning after his arrival,
when, much to his surprise, bis host
and ultra exclusive house guests de
parted for "a drive" In a four-in-hand
coach, leaving General Barlow behind.
No Invitation had been extended to
Barlow, and he was left alone on the
piazza, being told by bis hospitable
host that there were a box of cigars
and the London Times lu the smoking
room, which would keep him fairly
well occupied until their return.
The coaching party had been absent
about an hour when a troop of cavalry,
commanded by a British efflccr, baited
In front of the house. The officer ask
ed for General Barlow and, upon
meeting him, said that he was com
manded by his royal highness the
Duke of Cambridge to Invite General
Bnrlow to accept a review of ber
ninjesty's command (of some 10,000
men) at Aldershot at 2 o'clock that
afternoon.
General Barlow gracefully accepted
the Invitation and, donning his "war
paint," mounted an extra horse, which
the Duke of Cambridge had thought
fully provided for him, and started
for Aldershot with his escort.
As Barlow and his escort approached
the reviewing stand the band struck up
"The Star Simngled Banner," all flags
were dipped, nnd the Duke of Cam
bridge rode to the front and received
General Barlow In a most courteous
manner.
Naturally, General Barlow was the
center of all eyes. Barlow was sur
prised to see the coaching party of his
host directly lu front of the reviewing
stand. Its presence accounted for the
early departure that morning. If Gen
eral Barlow was surprised one can im
agine the surprise and dismay shown
by the gay host and his party when
they discovered who was the hero of
the day. General Barlow's host had
during the morning drive supposedly
learned of the Intended review which
was to be held, but hnd not the slight
est Idea It was to be in' honor of his
guest, the volunteer general from the
States.
All sorts of apologies were offered,
but General Barlow, In his dignified
manner, politely let bis host under
stand that be understood tbe situation
perfectly and that he had evidently not
been invited on the coaching party be
cause he did not come up to tbe Eng
lish standard of a major general In
their eyes, despite the fact that he hnd
probably seen more fighting than "all
the British officers on that field.
Barlow was urged to return, now
that he was a "Hon" In their eyes, but
after such a slight he preferred to re
turn to London, which be did, after
leaving a polite but dry note of thanks
and arranging for his valet to pack up
his things and Join him In London.

Not only does it build up the entire

effect upon the feminine organism that
reduces the distress to a minimum.

Patrolman Cooke, of the Oregon

street Monday night when one of these
clever yeggs approached him and
tried to make a red-hot touch.
"Say, mister," said the moocher,
"I've got just ten cents in my pocket,
and if you'll give me fifteen more I'll
have two-bits and be able to buy a
bed."
Patrolman Cooke looked at the 'bo
with a kindly eye."
"I can save you the dime," he said.
You come with me, and I'll give you
a bed that wont cost you anythnig."
And he took the beggar to the jail

TEACHER FILES SUIT
James West Wants $810 from Direct
ors of School District
Alleging that the school board of
District 62 cancelled a contract with
him, and thereby made it impossible
for him to earn $90 a month as a
teacher, James West has sued the
local school directors for $810, the
amount of the salary he thinks he
should have received. Mr. West says
that the members of the board signed
a contract to employ him, and later
notified him that his services would
not be required.
The school board -will contest the
suit on the grounds that West failed
to qualify, and that had he been em
ployed the highschool would not have
been regarded as "standard" accord
ing to the state requirements.
