"SAFETY FIRST" PLAN
Human Nature Taken into Account
by Milwaukie School Directors
Down at Milwaukie they don't leave
very much chance any more, at least
in regard to school affairs.
And for this reason a rule has been
adopted that when snow is on the
ground the girls and little tots shall
be dismissed ten minutes ahead of the
boys.
So far this plan has worked ad
mirably, and only girls who dally
around the neighborhood of the school
and openly invite trouble are showt
balled.
You can't stop a boy from throw
ing snowballs, says the Milwaukie
school board; but you can give the
girls a ten minute start, so they can
get out of the "zone of fire."

A resident of the county for 19

has announced himself ac andidate for
the republican nomination for record-

HOME IS DESTROYED
Explosion of Oil Stove Wrecks Dwell
ing in County Seat
The explosion of an oil stove in the
home of Thomas Garner, on Tenth
street, Oregon City, furnished Monday
morning thrills for the county seat.
Mrs. Garner was ill in the house at
the time, and was rescued from the
burning building by neighbors. Ef
forts were then made to save the
household furnishings, but only a
part of these could be carried out be
fore the flames became so hot that
all attention had to be centered on
saving surrounding property.
Owing to the fact that several
people, in different fire districts, saw
the blaze at about the same time, and
turned in alarms, the firemen were
confused as to the location of the
blaze. Some delay thus developed in
the department reaching the fire.
When the "smoke-eaters" finally
reached the scene they did good work,
but were able to save only a portion
of the Garner home. Mr. Garner's
loss is partly covered by insurance.
Convinced "That last job of dance
postals that I ordered was the best and
most attractively arranged I ever re
ceived from any job office," says one
customer of the Courier Job Depart
ment.
MORE SNOW COMES
Assorted Samples of Weather are Fur
nished County During Week
Temperature ranging from 60 de
grees to four degrees below freezing,
sunshine, rain, snow and hail were all
furnished the western part of Clacka
mas county during the week; and
people .had the privilege of taking
their choice. Evidently everybody
couldn't unite on wishing for the same
kind of weather, however; and as a
result the elements made an effort to
please all.
Coincident with the assorted weath
er the Clackamas and Willamette riv
ers rose steadily. Tuesday night the
Clackamas and Willamette rivers rose
steadily. Tuesday night the Clacka
mas was as high as it has been t any
time this season, the Willamette was
well filled and running strong; and the
country traversed by the Portland
Oregon City interurban line was af
flicted with new and embryo rivers
that ran across fields and over lawns
with delightful impartiality.
This Oregon weather is great
weather, surely.
TRY IT AND SEE
Hint, to Make Plowing Easier is Given
by Uncle Sam
A recent report of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture contains the
following, which may have a local
application:
Efficiency of farm labor is often as
important as its distribution. Two
young men were plowing clover .sod.
Each had two horses hitched to a 14
inch walking plow. It was heavy
plowing, and each team was barely
able to plow 1 acres a day. One
morning the men decided to try three
horses on one plow. They did so, and
to their great surprise one man and
three horses easily plowed as much as
two men and four horses had previous
ly done and did it much more easily.
It was even easier for the driver, be
cause it is always easier to drive a
team that is not overloaded. The new
arrangement released one man and
one horse for other work."
Jap Is Robbed
Mrs. K. Zamada, who lives . at
Wendal station, on the Estacada line,
reported to the sheriff's office Mon
day night that two white men had
entered her home, looted it, and then
beat a hasty retreat to Grays Cross
ing. K. Zamada, her husband, fired
two shots at the fleeing men, but
neither bullet took effect. Sheriff
Wilson and Deputy Sheriff Frost in
vestigated, but found only footprints.
Portland police are working on the
case.

SAFETY PLEA MADE
Fire Marshal Stevens, of Portland,
Asks Assistance of All
Speaking before the Live Wires of
the Commercial club Tuesday noon,
Fire Marshal Jay Stevens, of Port
land, held his auditors spellbound for
over half an hour while he told of the
experiences of a fireman's life. Inci
dentally Mr. Stevens brought tears to
the eyes of many by his thrilling ac
counts of accidents and deaths caus
d by carelessness in regard to fires;
and asked those who heard him to do
everything possible to prevent firs.
Taking up the work of his office in
Poitland, Mr. Stevens told what had
been accomplished in the line of mak
ing Portland homes and business
buildings safer, and declared that
every city in the state ought to take
up the same kind of work. A" few
dollars expended in preventing fires,
he said, was worth far more than sev
eral thousand dollars insurance paid
after a bad fire.
In the course of his talk Mr. Ste
vens also reviewed the fire insurance
scandal that developed recently in
Portland, and pointed out the need of
having all insured places inspected by
agents before policies were delivered;
so as to remove the temptation of in
cendiarism.
FOR CORRESPONDENTS
Gentle Hint for Friends of the Courier
in Various County Towns
The Courier is quite aware that this
is unfavorable weather, that the
pump is apt to be frozen up, that the
road to the barn has to be shovelled
out, and that travel on the county
highways is much worse than usual
but just the same readers of the Cour
ier are anxious to know what people
are doing. The Courier's large staff
of correspondents usually keep its
readers well informed as to the neigh
borhood doings in all sections of the
county; but lately there has been a
scarcity of news from the smaller
communities.
Correspondents are hereby invited
to cheer up, take their pens, pencils
and typewriters in hand, and ship in
some news. Even if all you can tell
us is that everybody has the grippe,
shoot it along. There are a lot of
other people suffering with the grippe
who don't want to be lonely, and news
from elsewhere will cheer them. Tell
us about the snow, the excess water,
the latest literary meeting, and who
is visiting round about. Such news
interests Courier readers and the
people in your locality, so send it
along; and this office will take care of
its circulation.

HARD CIDER DEPORTED
Relief from "Dry Spell" in Mulino is
of Very Short Duration
When one of Mulino's enterpris
ing merchants ordered some cider
two barrels of it shipped to him
from St. Louis, he didn't know he was
going to "start something." But he
did.
When the cider got to Mulino it had
changed from sweet to hard, and much
to the merchant's surprise, it found a
very ready sale. Finally he wonder
ed why the boys all said the cider was
so good, and tasted it himself. Then
he rushed in to Deputy District At
torney Burke, and wanted to know if
he was violating the prohi law.
"I ordered sweet cider," he said,
"and the kegs are labelled sweet cider,
but it took them so long to get here
from St. Louis that they'v changed."
"Send them back, send them back,"
said Deputy District Attorney Burke.
"And next time 'buy it at home,' and
your cider wont change on the way to
the store. Oregon cider ought to be
just as good as St. Louis cider, and
it wont violate the law."
So one keg all' that is left of the
changed cider, went back to St. Louis
from Mulino, and the relief from the
"dry spell" ended.
HONORS FOR EDITOR
Benton County Farmers Want M. J.
Brown to Run for Legislature
Recent reports from Benton county
state that a well-nourished boom for
the purpose of sending M. J. Brown,
editor of the Benton County Courier,
to Salem at the next legislature, has
developed. Mr. Brown was formerly
editor of the Oregon City Courier, and
since going to Corvallis has been pok
ing holes in extravagant taxation.
While admitting that many people
have urged him to be a candidate for
the legislature, Mr. Brown, in letters
sent to his friends in Clackamas coun
ty, says: "I've been vaccinated, and
there's nothing doing."
One thing is certain, however as a
legislator Editor M. J. Brown would
add much that was entertaining to
the legislative program; and he would
also try to accomplish something.
And some Clackamas county legisla
tors would be "just tickled to death"
to meet him among the solons at Sa
lem, too not.

My Most Important
Law Case
By JOHN Y. LARNED
My most important law case? If you
mean the most Important case to me
Individually, it was a case of breach
of promise. It was a case where a
woman sued a man for refusing to
keep a contract of marriage and to
settle on her at the same time $100,000.
The strange feature was that the man,
who was madly In love with the plain
tiff, was as madly desirous to marry
her, but claimed that he hadn't the
$100,000 to give her.
My first . interpretation of the case
was that the woman was trying to
bleed a man without having ever had
any intention to marry him; my sec
ond was that she had a passion for
getting men In love with her. Fltz
Mooney, the defendant, In a written
appeal for Kate Jackson, plaintiff, to
marry him, had agreed to settle $100,
000 on her If she would do so. He had
at the time made twice that amount
on the Stock Exchange, but had lost
It all. For some reason that the lady
kept to herself, knowing that be was
unable to keep the financial part of
his contract, she sued him on the
agreement
Kate Jackson was a widow, not es
pecially good looking, but possessing
a magnetism over men that enabled
her to do what she pleased with them.
She came into my office a stranger to
me, offered me her case, and I was
convinced from the first that she was
simply desirous of annoying Mr. Fltz
Mooney, though what was her object
In doing so I could not imagine. There
was nothing to be got out of him, and
I convinced her of the fact If she
was not convinced already but she
Insisted on proceeding with the case.
Since I was then struggling to gain a
practice and with poverty at tho same
time, I consented; but not before the
lady had paid me $100 retaining fee.
I was soon sorry that I had accepted
It I had spent It I was unable to
get rid of my client by returning It
Never have I had such an annoying
case. Mrs. Jackson did not give me
her confidence, and I was continuously
In doubt as to what she was driving at
Instead of my managing the case for
her she was managing the plaintiff
through me. Her ground of action
was that she had declined several of
fers of rich men to accept the de
fendant, that he bad won her affec
tions, her other suitors had been mar
ried, died, disappeared or failed to pro
pose again. She had thus been deprlv
ed of a pick of several fortunes. She
proved these assertions by showing mo
love letters from these parties, and on
Inquiry I learned that they were rich
men. What I did not learn was that
they were not still available as hus
bands, Half a dozen times I had the case
ready to be tried, and every time some
thing occurred to cause delay. Once
the plaintiff, who was always specu
lating, having made $50,000 in wheat,
offered to settle it all on her and marry
her as well If she would accept tho
compromise. She peremptorily declin
ed. The money was soon lost In cop
per, and my client to my surprise seem
ed suddenly mortified and showed signs
of dropping the suit. I foolishly show
ed her a letter from the defendant, who
was getting worn out as I was with (he
case, upbraiding her, whereupon Bhe
turned square about and demanded the
whole amount for which she had sued.
asking me if she could not double the
claim.
Meanwhile my bills for services and
costs were growing. The widow paid
my bills promptly, but the costs went
on accumulating. I reminded her that
she would probably lose In the end,
getting, If anything, a nominal award
and would have to pay the court as
well as my professional fees. But this
did not stagger her In the least. The
summer was coming on, and she went
Into the country, whence reports came
that she had enthralled every man
who came near her. I was In hopes
that she woiUd be snared herself and
drop her case against Fltz Mooney. No
such good luck. The last week In Au
gust she wrote me that sho would re
turn Immediately after Labor day and
desired that I would be ready to bring
her suit to trial as soon thereafter as
possible.
But when she returned a change bad
come for Fltz Mooney. He had sunk
a lot of money In cotton, and on wind
ing up his deals the account showed
that' he owed his broker $75,000. This
was not all. Ills troubles, largely his
affairs with the widow, had broken
down his health, and he was lying
very 111 in a hospital.
Such was bis condition when the
plaintiff sailed In to my office and ask
ed me If I was ready to try his case.
I replied by giving her a brief account
f Fltz Mooney's misfortunes, adding
that I feared be would die before we
could get Judgment
"Oh, my goodness gracious!" was the
response. . '
Never have I seen a more sudden
collapse. She begged me to call a cab
at once, and when it came, apparently
oblivious of me, she ran down to It
and drove to the hospital.
That is the laBt I saw of her till aft
er Fltz Mooney had recovered and I
attended the wedding. I have seen
much of the perversities of the fair
sex. but nothing like this. I learned
later on that the couplo bad been en
gaged and had had a spat occasioned
by a criticism of Fltz Mooney of his
fiancee's accepting an attention from
another man. Out of this grew the
whole trouble.

government's arbitrary regulations.
