RAILROAD IS WILLING
Stock Loading Depot at County Seat
Will Soon be Erected
F. A. Malchay, assistant general
freight agent of the Southern Pacific,
Was among the guests of the Live
' Wires of the Commercial Club at their
weekly luncheon on Tuesday, and told
the members of the organization that
the railroad would be only too glad
to operate with county seat folk in
providing a stock-loading pen and
chute at a convenient point in the
yards. The suggested plan of hav
ing the stock pen erected near the
depot siding was objectionable on the
grounds of lack of room, he said; and
it also might prove undesirable to
have the smell of cattle in the heart
of the city. .
If a suitable spot in the outskirts
of the city could be found, however,
Mr. Malchay said that the road would
be only too glad to contribute its
share. The Bpecial committee that
has the matter in hand will try to find
a convenient location for the stock
depot.
Considerable time was also spent
by the Live Wires in considering
the "preparedness" question. The
school board was praised and con
demned, alternately, for the stand it
had taken in regard to' urging high
school studerts to join the militia.
Further progress in the plan for re
newing interest in the national guard
in the county seat will be made Fri
day evening, probably, when an open
meeting of all young men interested
in military training has been called in
the Commercial club parlors.

FAST TIME MADE
Age Beats Beauty in Midnight Race
on County Seat's Streets
Maybe C. 0. Dryden can beat Night
Patrolman George Woodward running,
and maybe he can't. The best way to
decide this is for C. 0. Eryden to rob
a bank and try to get away with the
swag when George is in pursuit.
But be that as it may, C. 0. Dry
dren, who" is night foreman on the
Enterprise, can beat F. W. McKechnie,
the news editor, and "Billy" Bowes,
the popular young linotype operator.
This was settled Saturday at mid
night, when the three had a hundred
yard race on Main street, with Patrol
man Henry Cooke as time-keeper,
and with George Woodward as pace
maker. Dryden did the hundred
yards in 18 seconds flat, with McKech
nie a poor third and Billy Bowes a
close second.
George Woodward, for reasons of
diplomacy, slipped on a banana peel
before he reached the finish-line, and
came in way in the rear. However,
George, being a perfectly good cop,
would have been foolish to show just
how fast he could go before a gang of
printers. Printers sometimes go
wrong, and George didn't know but
they might have been trying to get
a line on his speed. So he played safe
on the banana peeling. One of these
days, however, maybe George will
show that he can "go some" he has
been fast enough heretofore to estab
lish a record for arrests in the coun
ty seat. . ,
NEW CHIEF ELECTED
Bradley Now Heads County Seat
Fire Department, Vote Close
With Harry Bradley getting 4G
votes, Harry Seiler 45 votes, and Tom
Trembath getting but 40, the annual
fire election was held Monday in the
county seat. Not until the last vote
was tallied was the result of the elec
tion known, so close was the race be
tween the three leaders.
Henry Brant with 76 votes defeat
ed Gerald Warner with 55 for assist
ant fire chief, and John Gleason,
Blake Bowland and Ed Lavier were
elected fire commissioners.
"I have been a resident for Oregon
City for 16 years," says a hopeful
candidate for office. Since when did
sticking in one spot become a qualifi
cation for office?

LEGAL POINT LOOMS
Can Laws Enacted Jointly by Two
States Nullifythe Initiative?
Circulation by the Clackamas Coun
ty Fishermen's union of petitions for
an initiative law prohibiting the use
of seines, traps and fishwheels on the
Columbia river and its tributaries, has
raised a brand new legal point in re
gard to the scope or limitations of
the initiative law. The proposed
measure, if it passes, will automatic
ally repeal alt present Jaws regard
ing fishing on the Columbia, and as
these laws were passed jointly by the
legislatures of Washington and Ore
gon under a conference agreement,
there are some attorneys who are won
dering if the new fishing law will be
operative even if it has the approval
of the people.
A decision by Judge Campbell this
week, in regard to the validity of the
Gill law, makes the members of the
Clackamas County Fishermen's union
feel that their proposed measure will
be effective; for Judge Campbell de
clared that the conference law now
governing the Columbia was not valid,
and could be modified by the legisla
ture of either state. District Attor
ney Hedges has pointed out that a
conference law must have the approv
al of congress to be effective, and the
Washington-Oregon agreement has
not this approval. "
However, even if it had, W. S.
U'Ren, father of "the Oregon system"
declares that an initiative measure
would take precedence over the con
ference law. "Nd legislature has the
right to. bargain away the voting
power of the people," is the way Mr.
U'Ren disposes of the problem.
Believing that Mr. U'Ren has the
right view of it, and cheered by Judge
Campbell's decision, members of the
local fishermen's union are still cir
culating petitions, and have already
approximately 4,000 names signed.
The measure is designed to protect
salmon, to enable more of them to
reach the spawning ground each year;
and to stop the indiscriminate slaugh
ter of smaller game fish by the nar
row meshes of seines and fishwheels,
which annually scoop thousands of
fish from the Columbia and its trib
utaries. $100 Reward, $100

AS TO THE DEVIL
Correspondent Tells Why Satan Likes
to See Youths Fall
Editor, Courier: In reply to T.
Lord C.'s criticism of the Rev. L. F.
Smith's statement that the devil
would rather see a young man fall
into his clutches than a young wo
man, would say that one hardly ex
pected and enlightened man to deny
the necessity of clean moral and phys
ical life of the man to have the very
best ettect on his offspring. , Will you
please think WHY does the state of
Oregon require a physical examina
tion of tho man if not for the better
men of our offspring?
Look at our cattle. Why do we
try to get just the very best that
money can buy when buying a male?
We wamt one up to the standard
and free from all diseases.
Horses, cattle, hogs, chickens and
everything brings much better results
if we have a male clean and up to
the standard. Why not man?

PEOPLE WANT ROAD
Residents of Sellwood Gardens Seek
Way Out to Civilization
Some years ago an enterprising
Portland real estate man bought some
acreage just over the line from the
metropolis in Clackamas county, plat
ted it in small tracts and called it
Sellwood Gardens. It sold readily,
but after people settled on the tracts
it developed that there was only one
narrow road leading into the place,
and that right on the county line this
road crossed a branch of Johnson's
creek on a bridge. The high em
bankment of the Estacada interurban
line on the north made it impossible
to cut another road in from Portland,
and the cost of condemning a right
of way through private property made
a road from any other direction equal
ly hard to get.
Sellwood Gardens has gotten along
with its one road until now. The re
cent rains so damaged the brige that
it became dangerous for use, and
Multnomah county officials have now
barricaded the bridge. People who
want to'get in or out of Sellwood Gar
dens walk, and pack what they want
with them. Monday a delegation of
the people came up and told their
troubles to the county court.
The court didn't see why it should
repair a bridge that lies in Multno
mah county, nor why it should con
demn a road in Clackamas county
when a passable road exists theoretic
ally to Portland. Sellwood Gardens
lies right on the county line, and the
bridge in question is just to the north
of the line. However, people in the
district appealed strongly for aid, and
the court finally delegated to Commis
sioner Adam Knight the job of going
down to sea the Multnomah court and
ascertaining what could be done.
COMPROMISE NOT LIKED
Farmers Inclined to Think Railroad is
"Spoofing" over Land Grant
The Courier has received a numbei
of communications from farmers and
other folk living in the timbered see
tions of Clackamas county, expressing
the opinion that the "compromise on
the Oregon land grant sale, offered bj
J. P. Blair, counsel for the Southern
Pacific, should be disregarded. Mr
Blair, in a congressional hearing, said
that it should not be taken for grant
ed that the maximum value of the
grant lands was $2.50 an acre; and
that any plan for the sale of thesf
lands should take into consideration
their present day value.
Clackamas county people in goodlj
number seem to think that the rail
road company, not having lived ur.
to tho letter of its agreement with the
government in times past, and having
failed to sell' these lands to settlert
at the stipulated price of $2.50 an
acre; should not receive any special
consideration, but should be forced to
sell at the original price.
J. M. Park, of Estacada,vis one of
those who has written 'the Courier on
this subject, and his letter is typical
of many others. He says in part:
"I often wonder if our congressmen
and senators are going' to be so soft
as to listen to such shallow arguments
as this man Blair puts up for the rail
road company. Of course, the opinion
seems to prevail that the farmers of
Oiegon don't know much but the
farmers ere tired of waiting for some
relief in this matter from Congress.
We remember Senator Mitchell and
some more like him."
JUST THE TRUTH
What Astoria's Rate Victory Means
for All of Western Oregon
The more important Astoria, the
gateway, becomes the more will it in
crease the importance of Portland, the
railway center. The recent decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, placing Astoria on a rate
parity with Tacoma, Seattle and Port
land, is not only a victory for that
port, but a victory for Portland and
especially the Columbia basin, while it
is a blow to Portland's leading com
petitors, Seattle and Tacoma.
Of course, if Portland can now se
cure a lower rate, so much the better
for Portland, but if not, it should not
feel discouraged, nor should it adver
tise to the outside that its very life
depends upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission granting such plea. What
Portland will lose in Astoria getting
.a rate parity it will gain, and more,
in other ways if it plucks up courage
and enters into those ways, recogniz
ing that competition is the life of
trade. Astoria will profit, but it will
be a big feeder for Portland. This de
cision also indicates that hereafter
Oregon is liable to be more than a
one-town state. (Woodburn Inde
pendent.) CITY PARK ENDORSED
Ministers Decide Public Playground is
Chief Necessity of County Seat
At this week's meeting of the Ore
gon City Ministerial association, held
Monday, unanimous but informal sup
port was given the plan to establish
a city park,'as advocated by Mayor E.
C. Hackett.' The divines discussed the
plans at some length, and reached
the conclusion that a public play
ground in an accessible portion of the
city would be of great benefit to the
entire community.
The plan has already been endorsed
by the Woman's club, and as soon as
the weather moderates so that a sur
vey of the property about the old
Jones rock-crushing plant can be made
active work will be taken up. Mayor
Hackett is planning to make a thor
ough examination of the proposed site
as soon as possible, and after this is
done it is expected that councilmanic
action will follow immediately, so the
park can be used this summer.
Somehow it doesn't seem fair, right
now, for Mayor Hackett to turn over
so much responsible work to Council
man VanAuken's street committee.
Even Councilman Roake' has noticed
this, and last week he said he thought
VanAuken's salary ought to be raised.
A Double
Secret
By EUNICE BLAKE
Mr. George Smith at fifty looked for
ward to a lonely old age. He wished
to mnrry, but there whs an Impediment
In the way of his muiTying. At thirty
he bad married a girl of seventeen
against her parents' wishes. Seventeen
is a tender age for a woman to bo
placed In antagonism with her mother,
and n husband who under such circum
stances attempts to contend with a
uiothcr-ln-law Is quite likely to get
tho worst of It One day, but a month
after his wedding at the end of the
honeymoon Mr. Smith went home
from business to find the newly built
nest deserted. His wlfo's mother had
swooped down on her nnd curried off
her chick.
It was six months before the bo
red ved husband could discover where
his wife had been taken. Then he
also learned that she was deud. At
any rate, his mother-ln-luw wrote him
to that effect. But whether the lady
did so that she might cause him to
cease to pursue her duughter or wheth
er she wrote the truth he was not
quite certain.
But now. twenty years from tho
date of his uiuri'lage, he met a maiden
lady verging on to forty with whom
he was very companionable. He never
told her about his marriage, for he
made up his mind to wlu her if possi
ble aud feared that If he uduiltted any
doubt as to his being free to marry
she would not take the risk. When he
proposed to her she surprised him with
a confession. She informed him that
the name she bore was not hers legal
ly. There was a long story to tell In
connection with the mutter of her pass
ing under an assumed name that she
would tell him If ho cared to hear it.
after which he. might Judge for him
self If he wished to marry her.
Smith after a few moments of
thought replied that there was a mat
rimonial hitch lu his own case. If ho
told her what It wns It would always
worry her; If ho knew what hers was
It would worry him. Would It not be
well for him to keep his secret and
vice versa? In his own case there was
not one chance In a thousand of there
being any trouble. She said that the
same was true in her own case. She
would take tho risk If he would. After
awhile they concluded that what had
been proposed wns the sensible thing
to do, and they were married.
Things dou't always turn out as ex
pected. Instead of there now being
two causes for worry there were four.
Mr. Smith in addition to having his
own affair to trouble him had that of
his wife. Mrs. Smith also had two
cares of worry where she had had one.
Then, too, curiosity enme In to make
matters worse.
The prime dliDculty lu their now un
burdening themselves to each other
was that fearing they would not ad
here to their resolution of keeping
their secret they had each registered
a vow to maintain it inviolate. Mr.
Smith! who wns engrossed In business.
did not find it dlfilcult to keep his vow.
but Mrs. Smith, who had little to oc
cupy her mind, dwelt upon bar hus
band's secret continually. Ono day
she snld to him:
"Dear, I have concluded thnt I must
know your secret. True, you have
mode a vow not to reveal It, but that
vow was made to me, and I release
you."
'Why cannot you dismiss this mat
ter from your mind?" ho asked. "If
I tell you my secret I am entitled to
know yours. I don't wish to know It
Possibly if I did I might feel some
thing, do something, say something to
spoil our happiness. As it is, we are
passing on without anything to mar
It. Why not let the matter rest as It
is? Remember Pandora and the box
of troubles she opened."
This wns all very well, but the curi
ous bee bad been buzzing In Mrs.
Smith's bonnet so long thnt she could
endure it no longer. However, some
thing occurred to bring about a revela
tion of both mysteries. One morning
the postman delivered the ninll while
the Smiths were tit breakfast. Mrs.
Smith opened a letter addressed to her
and turned pale. Seeing thnt she was
about to faint, her husbund run to her
and caught her in his arms. She came
to herself in a few moments.
"What is it. darling?" cried her hus
band. "Read it"
Taking up the letter, he rend:
When your mother died she left It dis
cretionary with me to mako a confession
for her. I have not long to live and have
concluded to make it before I die. Tour
mother spoke falsely when site told you
your husband was dead. She also wrote
him that you were dead.
Something glimmered upon .George
Smith. An idea wns trying to perme
ate his brain.
"What was your maiden name?" he
gasped.
"Stacey Arietta Stacey."
Throwing his arms about her, he
squeezed her till she cried out
- "Thank heaven!" he cried.
"What for?"
"I am your first as well as your sec
ond husband. You are my first and
second wife.''
"How do you know?"
"I married Arietta Stacey when she
was seventeen yenrs old. Why did you
chnnge your name?"
"Mother forced me to do so to keep
you from finding me."
"But you have known my name
since our man-lose."
"Yes, but Smith Is not an uncommon
name."

CLIMATE HURTS TREES
Douglas Fir near Portland Suffers
from Peculiar Local Blight
For several years there has been
evidence in the spring of what has
been named "parch blight of the
Douglas fir trees in the vicinity of
Portland, the injury manifesting it
self in a browning of the foliage. In
the February issue of "The Plant
World" there appears an article upon
the subject by Thornton T. Munger of
the Forest Service, Portland, Oregon.
According to Mr. Munger, the
cause of the blight is rather easy
of explanation. It is due to the dry
ing cold east winds of winter the
Chinook winds that occasionally
sweep across the Cascade winds from
the interior plateau country and
parch the Douglas firs. The Douglas
fir of the region west of the Cascades
is called the Coast form, and it is par
ticularly dependent upon a humid mild
climate. The Duoglas fir east of the
Cascades in Oregon resembles the
Rocky Mountain form, and endures a
much drier and severer climate. It
is interesting, therefore, to note that
in passing up the Columbia River evi
dences of the injury disappear about
35 miles eastward from Portland at
a point about opposite the crest of
the Cascades where the Douglas fir
takes on the hardier Rocky Mountain
form.
Mr. Munger points out that al
though Douglas firs in many parts
of the Northwest appear to be affect
ed by the blight, the injury is not
permanent as a rule and the trees
resume their usual green appearance
with the beginning of the growing
season.

MILITIA HIT AGAIN
School Board in Session Till after Mid
night Discussing Preparedness
Holding session until half past
twelve in the morning, Oregon City's
school board Monday went on record
as being "individually" in favor of
military training; but as being oppos
ed to all efforts to interest the school
boys, during school hours, in mili
tary affairs. The action was taken
following a request . from the Live
Wires committee that militia officers
be permitted to "work up enthusiasm"
among the students for the local mi
litia company.
In order to get itself on record
plainly, the board adopted the follow
ing resolution, setting forth its
stand:
"Resolved, that we are individ
ually in favor of military training for
all young men, whether in high school
or elsewhere, but we decline as a
board of directors to permit the dis
cussion of military affairs in our high
school for the purpose of inducing our
high school boys to enlist in the mil
itia, believing this to be a matter
that should' be considered by our boys
and their parents, and entirely for
eign to our school work."
FALLSARIANS IN LINE
Marching Club Said to be Ready to
Join Militia in a Body
Reports which were confirmed by
some mebers of the Fallsarians, and
which were scouted by others, were
in circulation in the county seat this
week to the effect that Oregon City's
famous marching club would shortly
join the local militia in a body. The
general opinion of the members of
the club, it was said, was in favor of
the plan; and the only hitch in the
scheme lay in the fact that some of
the members believed that if they
joined the militia thev might have dif
ficulty in getting a i.wo-weeks leave
from their employment in tho summer
to attend state encampment.
This matter of obtaining leave is
being looked after by some of the
Fallsarians, and it is said that ar
rangements will be made with busi
ness men and the larger manufactur
ing concerns so that any employees
who desire to join the militia will be
allowed time off to attend encamp
ment Tell it to the printer at the Courier
job department he does the rest.

MILL PLANS HOMES
Development Plans Revived for
Crown-Willamette Employees
The plan of Drovidiner homes and
home sites for employees of the pa
per mills on the west side of the river,
first sprung some three years ago,
has been revived by the Crown-Willamette
paper company, and an effort
is being made to get the men interest
ed. So far 50 out of the 350 men
spoken to about the matter have ex
pressed curiosity about the plan.
The mill company owns a consider
able tract of land but ten minutes
walk from the mills, and will open
this ud. nut in eroded street, nnrl
assist the men to build homes there
on if acceptable terms can be arrang
ed. The plan would lead to the more
rapid development of West Linn, and
would aid in building up the mill com
munity. Elans for 24 stvlea of homes
have already been drawn, and if the
scneme is carried out employees may
have the use of these plan3 free of
charge.
DRINK NOT TEMPERATE
"Tonic" Designed to get by Dry Laws
is Hit by Uncle Sam
In a recent hearing before Federal
officers under the pure food and drug
act, the Temperance Beverage Co., of
Chicago, 111., was charged with the
shipment in interstate commerce of
"Improved Cream of Hops," and "Hop
Tonic," which were misbranded. Tho
former was labelled "A Nonintoxicat
ing Beer, Refreshing, Invigorating,
Improved Cream of Hops, The Great
Health Drink. " The "Hop
Tonic" was labeled "A Nonintoxicat
ing Temperance Beer Hop Tonic. "
Analysis of these two drinks showed
each to contain over 3 per cent alco
hol, thus rendering them intoxicating.
The defendant company in this case
pleaded guilty, and the court imposed
a fine of $200 and costs.
At another hearing Wadhams &
Co., of Portland, Oregon, were fined
ten dollars for putting out a mis
branded vanilla flavoring and a lemon
extract.
CITY AT FAULT
Flaw in Assessment Proceedings
Found by Circuit Court in Suit
Because some city official didn't
count the days carefully, notice of
the assessment for the improvement
of John Q. Adams street was only
posted for 14 days before remon
strances were heard thereon. The
law provides that such notices should
be posted at least 15 days. As a a
result of this the city's suit against
E. B. Lowe, to collect an assessment
of $275, has failed, and it is now up to
the council either to go through the
proceedings all over again, or to reach
a compromise agreement with Mr.
Lowe.
The caBe was tried before Circuit
Judge Campbell, Christian Schuebel
representing the city, and C. H. Dye
handling Mr. Lowe's end of the pro
ceedings. Schuebel Files for Job
The Honorable Christian Schuebel,
who sometime ago told his friends
that he would be a candidate for the
republican nomination for district at
torney, has changed his mind; and
last week forwarded to the secretary
of state his declaration of candidacy
for nomination on the republican
ticket as a state legislator. Mr.
Schuebel decires that "Justice to all
