WAI.KKR, THOS. F. RYAN, JOHN R. HtJMPHRYS President. Vice President. Cashier, SMOKER, DRAWS CROWDS Proposed Armory Athletic Club's First Affair is Big Success Some of the best boxing that has been seen in the county seat was staged Tuesday night at Armory hall, when the proposed Oregon City Ar mory Athletic club put on its first boxing card. Fully 300 spectators packed the seats- and almost every ringside chair was occupied by boosters of the manly art of self defense. Five boxing events and a wrestling bout were on the program. The most spectacular event of the evening was the six-round ' go be tween Kid Weston and Naegel, who entered the ring at 116 pounds. Naegel had the advantage of reach and height, but Weston proved him self a whirlwind battler, and after the first round landed at will on his adversary. Weston had both snap and science, as well as pluck, and the decision was easily his. Ike Cohen, of Denver, a former professional heavy, was substituted for Trambetus in the main event with Parslow, and while the two didn't put up what could properly be called a boxing match, the bout kept the house in an uproar. Cohen knew the game backwards and forwards, ' and was a comedian besides; and while Parslow tried to make dents in him, he tried in vain. At one stage of this bout Cohen knocked Parslow through the ropes and then picked him up and lifted him back in the ring again. George Storey and Doc Colebank went after each other in the first bout with more fire than skill, and at the end Referee Shepherd gave Colebank the decision. They met at 160 pounds. Tonly Alf and Bill Gold had a set-to at catch weights, and Alf's seconds threw a towel into the ring at the end of the fourth round; their man being all in. Abie Gordon and Jake Schultz put up six rounds of dancing and sidestepping, only mix ing things up once.: . Referee ' Shep herd's decision in favor of the Port land lad was universally hooted by the fans, who declared the go a draw. At the end of the boxing program hammers of Beaver Creek and Hoff man went on for a wrestling match. After rolling around for a half an hour or so without either gaining a fall,' they ijuit. There was no decision. COUNTY GOES AHEAD With Multnomah, Clackamas Uses Half of Lath and Shingles , Oregon produces over two million feet of lumber, approximately 160 million lath, and 275 Vi million shing les. Of this quantity, she consumes nearly 23 million lath and over 116 million shingles, ut tne amount of lumber produced, Oregon consumes 19.8 per cent, or 411 million board feet, over half of which is used for building purposes. Nearly half of the building material, of the lath and of the shingles, is used in Multno mah and Clackamas counties. Oregon consumes annually over 2,200,000 cords of fuel wood, which, reduced to board feet, amounts to over 1,105,000,000 feet. Oregon produces annually approxi mately 1,610,000,000 board feet of logs, but consumes over two billion, or 212 in excess of her log produc tion. She draws heavily on Wash ington for this excess. Oregon produces approximately three and one-third million linear feet, but consumes only about one-half a million feet. The railroads of Oregon consume over 18,000 hewn ties and the mines 22,000. Oregon also consumes 66,000 linear feet of round mine material. CREAMERY DOES WELL Annual Meeting of Directors Held at Clear Creek Plant Directors and officers of the Clear Creek Creamery company were re elected at the annual meeting held last Monday, and most flattering re ports of the business done by the plant were read. The officers of the loncern are Thomas E. Anderson, sec retary; E. G. Caufield, treasurer, and W. P. Kirchem, L. D. Mumpower, Henry Babler, F. W. Riebhoff and S. C. Young, directors. The secretary's report showed a very prosperous year considering the state of the butter market, and a sub stantial increase over the amount of business done in any previous year. The amount of butter made in 1915 was 631,066 pounds, sold for $182,312. 06, the average price being nearly 30 cents; the amount of butter fat re ceived was 508,032 pounds, for which was paid $158,028.11, an average price of 31.42 cents. The increase over 1914 sales amounted to $19,493.48. The state dairy commissioner, has stated that this creamery company paid the highest price of any in the state. This is a record to be proud of, and it is no wonder the manage ment was retained. WHY VILLA RAIDED At Least One U.S. Cavalryman Thinks He Knows Reason of Attack After waiting on the Mexican bor der for three years and never once seeing the active service his heart longed for, a former private of the 13th U. S. Cavalry was accepted for enlistment in the United States Ma rine Corps. "I have been waiting down there on the border expecting trouble to break out," he told Sergeant Frank E. English, in charge of the Marine Corps recruiting station, "and I be gan to think that Villa would never start anything. And now, a day or two after I'm discharged, my old out fit is in the very thick of it." "Villa wouldn't start anything so long as you were there," English comforted the ex-trooper, "but when he heard that you had been 'paid oft" he knew that the psychological mo ment had arrived and that it was safe to commence hostilities." STREIBIG IS "PROF." Oregon City Meat Market King Teaches Girls How to Cut Meat Henry Streibig appeared in a new role at the county seat this week, when he made his bow before the domestic science girls as professor of household economics with special re gard to meats. Mr. Streibig told the girls the names of the different cuts, iand explained why some steaks were tender and others were not and also told the young ladies why meat prices varied from time to time; and other wise gave them good advice which they will need when they get married. In the course of his talk to the future housekeepers of the county seat Mr. Streibig explained why some cuts of meat are more economical than others, and went into illuminat ing details as to how best to utilize scraps in making "mulligans"' and croquettes. Members of the class tendered him a vote of thanks at the closo of his talk. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, ss. Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F. J.

Latin Americans ui'e great believers In medicines and, due to the scarcity of physicians, are obliged to "doctor" themselves. Pharmacy is consequent ly profitable. With the exception of modern Europe, Canada and the Unit ed States pharmacy Is practiced In other lands of the world much as it was tu the United States seventy-five or a hundred years ago, find this is particularly true of the republics to the south of us. The individual druggist makes his own pills, extracts, tinctures, Infusions and pulverizes his own crude drugs. Soda water fountains are few. The usual rubber goods, toilet articles, soaps, perfumes, instruments and sun dries are carried. Each druggist makes u Hue of his own specialties which he pushes. In addition to the standard drugs and medicines, he also carries remedies aud medicaments known only In his immediate vicinity. They are' mostly of Indian origin, compounded from roots, herbs or other Ingredients, pro duced only In the country where he lives. These find n ready sale among all classes. Superstitious Ideas are prevalent, and these are frequently taken advan tage of by the unscrupulous. One phar macist mude a fortuue selling Indians, half castes, and whites, for that mat ter, too, "pink' love powders" and "white love powders," The white love powder was pulverized sugar, while the pink love powder was made of the same material colored. Indians would walk hundreds of miles to buy this precious powder. Leslie's Weekly. THE GARDEN OF EDEN. It Is Said to Have the Most Trying Climate In the World. The chief peculiarity about Kurua Is that the natives believe the place where they live is the exact site of the garden of Eden. The climate of Kurua Is acknowl edged to be the most trying In all the world. The heat is terrific in the sum mer time. It is claimed that the Brit ish government has a record of 159 degrees in the shade upou the bridge of a boat anchored in the river at Busreh.'a little to the south. The missionaries at Busreh tell of nights when the . thermometer regis ters not less than 125 degrees. British sailors bound for the rersiuu gulf in the summer time usually desert If they can. Perhaps In Arizona the thermom eter rises nearly as high, but there Is the dry air, while in the Persian gulf It is exceedingly moist The Europeans at Busreli must pass the days In underground chambers, or serdaubs, while a native boy pulls a huge fan, or punkah, suspended from the celling to keep the air in circula tion. The nights are spent on the roof, for it Is impossible to sleep be low. In the winter time the air seems ex ceedingly cold, for the marshes are flllea with salt, and as the wind sweeps over the plain the moist air is peculiarly peuetratlng. Frequently the Arab, benumbed by the cold, falls from his horse. Christian Herald. Where Plato Taught. The famous aendemy of Pinto was in a suburb of Athens, about a mile north of the Dypllum gate. It Is said to have belonged to the hero Academus; hence the name. It was surrounded with a wall and adorned with walks, groves and fountains. Plato possessed a small estate in the neighborhood and for some fifty years taught his "divine phi losophy" to young ond old assembled In the academy to listen to his wise words. After Plato's death in 348 B. C. the academy lost much of its fame, but the beauty remained for centuries aft er the great teacher was no more. New York American. The Margin of Leisure. A broad mnrgln of leisure is as beau tiful lu a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste no less in life than In housekeeping. Keep the time, ob serve the hours of the universe, not of the cars. What are threescore years and ten hurriedly and coarsely lived to moments of divine leisure in which your life is coincident with the life of the universe? We live too fast and coarsely, Just as we ent too fast and do not know the true savor of our food. We consult our will and understanding and the expectation of men. not our genius. Thorenu. ' Inducements to Matrimony. There prevails lu some parts of Brit tany a curious marriage custom. On certain fete days the marriageable girls appear in red petticoats, with white or yellow borders around them. The number of borders denotes the portion the father Is willing to give his daughter. Each white band denotes 100 francs per annum; each yellow band represents 1,000 francs a year. Volcano Made by Man. At Brule, France. Is the most re markable volcano made by mini. Orig inally It was a mass of coal, million of tons. One day about a century ago the coal caught tire, and It has never ceased burning. The summit of the smoldering mass has a genuine crater Paradoxical. "There was a funny thing about that counterfeit note charge." "What was It?" "The grand jury found n true hill In the case "-Baltimore American. The grandest of all human senti mentswhat Is that? It is that man should forget his anger before he lies down to Rloep. Sad, Sad Case, This A case of complete color blindness was discovered at the Philadelphia re cruiting station of the United States Marine Corps when Patrick McKenna, an applicant for enlistment, called off each green-tinted yarn skein used for the test, as "orange," or "yellow," when held up to his view. McKenna was rejected for color-blindness and advised to keep close to his room on March 17th. Tell it to the printer at the Courier job department he does the rest. F. W. BARTLETT IN RACE ' V . V?'"""'Nf V. E. W. Bartlett, of Estacada, well known in the eastern part of the county as an attorney, has announc ed his candidacy for the republican nomination for the district attorney's office. Mr. Bartlett will oppose O. W. Eastham and W. E. Stone in the primary race, and feels confident that he will get the mass of the vote out side of the county seat; and also that he will be regarded favorably by county seat republicans. Mr. Bartlett believes in enforcing the spirit, as well as the letter, of the law. Dr. Dedman Iri Canby now has a candidate for the legislature, in the person of Dr. H. A. Dedman, who has announced his intention of going after the republi can nomination. Dr. Dedman is a brother of County Recorder Dedman, and is well and favorably known in the southern part of the county. Dr. Dedman will have as rivals in his race for the toga George C. Brownell, of Oregon City; E. D. Olds, of Oak Grove; H. C. Stephens, of George, and Christian Schuebel. MAN ODDLY MISSING Milwaukie Mill Worker Disappears and Leaves His Money Behind With a clean shave, approximately a dollar in his pockets, and a new bright red sw'eater on his back, Wil liam Porter a. Milwaukie shingle weaver, 32 years of age, dropped out of sight Wednesday night of. this week. Since then Sheriff Wilson has been unable to find any trace of him, and none of the man's friends or ac quaintances has heard, from him. It is feared that he has either met with foul play, or that he may have fallen into the Willamette. Porter lived in the heart of Mil waukie, two blocks from the Menefee mill, where he was employed. He had about $75 in the Milwaukie bank, and over $100 was due him in wages at the mill. Wednesday evening he went to the Milwaukie barber shop, got shaved, and then walked down to the mill, where he looked over his saws. The watchman saw him then walk out the front door of the mill and since then no tract of him has been found. , Porter had been drinking earlier in the week, but is reported to have been sober when in' the barber, shop. He is a man of stout build, weighs 170 pounds, and is about five feet seven inches tall. His left thumb is miss ing, so ho should be easy to identify. Hi disappearance recalls the mys terious death on the interurban tracks last year of an Oregon City man, whose body was run over by a car after he had probably been felled by a blow and robbed, near Island station. As it was generally known that Porter had money in the bank, it is thought possible that he may have been slugged by the same men who attacked the man found on the car tracks; and that when they found he had no money in his clothes his body was thrown in the river to con ceal the crime. Exchange . 67 acres 25 acres in cultivation, 20 acrs slashed and seeded balance in brush and timber. Has 1000 cords of wood standing, 1 acre bearing or chard, family variety; 4-room house, barn, granary and implements. One half mile to school, church and store; 6 miles from Oregon City, 2 miles from car line; 14 miles from Port land on good road. Will trade for smaller place and take difference, either in cash or can assume. Dill man & Howland, 8th and Main St., Oregon City, Ore. . DEDICATE NEW SCHOOL Exercises to be Held in County Seat Next Monday Evening Oregon City's new highschool, to which additions have been made dur ing the past winter so that pupils from outside communities could be accommodated, will be formally dedi cated Monday evening, when exer cises will be held in the auditorium. It is expected that every one of the 500 scats in the big hall will be occu pied. J. A. Churchill, superintendent of public instruction, from Salem, will be among those who will deliver ad dresses; as will Kenneth Latourette of Reed College, and Joseph L. Hedges, chairman of the local'school board. The new addition to the building, which has greatly increased the ca pacity of the original school, repre sents an outlay of over $20,000; money for its construction having been voted at a special school elec tion last year. It is expected that tuition received from outside stu dents will soon pay for the new building. HAWLEY DEED FILED Deal with City for Old Pumping Plant Site Is Completed The deed for the site of the old city filtration and pumping plant, and con veying the same to the Hawley Pulp & Paper company, was filed in the recorder's office last week, the con sideration named being $20,000. In the deed a perpetual right is reserv ed to the city to maintain two pumps and a station for their operation, and to at any time put in a hydro-electric generating plant of not more than 5,000 horsepower. Filing of the deed closes the negotiations between the Hawley company and the city. The Hawley company, as part of its agreement with the county seat, not only reserves space for the pump ing plant in the basement of the proposed new mi!l, but also moved at its own expense the house occupied by Cataract hose company, placing it on a new site on Main street, between Third and Fourth. POLICE CHIEF QUITS Gladstone's Civic Troubles Increase Rather than Lessen Chief of Police Bell, of Gladstone, turned in his star and resigned his office last week when Mayor Cham bers Howell ordered him to go out and bring Councilman Goodman to a meeting of the city fathers. The Chief went out and Mr Goodman re fused to obey the summons. There upon the mayor told the officer to go out and bring him in any way. Coun cilman Goodman Is a large man, and recently figured ia a Gladstone spar ring match. The Chief thought it over and decided to resign. Goodman was wanted in the coun cil in connection with the wrangle over the water department. At pres ent Gladstone has two water superin tendents, Johnson, the old appointee, and McGetchie. Neither superintend ent will recognize the other, and while McGetchie is collecting water rent Johnson is busily engaged in turning off water. The Courier $1.00 per year. LOCAL JAIL PRAISED "Blanchard's Hotel" said to be Clean est Resort on S. P. Main Line Attention of the boosting commit tee of the Oregon City Commercial club is called to the fact that Oregon Cityhas the cleanest and most com fortable jail of any town on the main line of the Southern Pacific between Portland and San Francisco. It is suggested that the Commercial club boosters might put this information in their next booklet describing the attractions of Oregon City. This endorsement of the local jail, sometimes known as Blanchard's ho tel, comes from some 200 odd hoboes who have spent a night or so in the place this year. These wanderers, familiar with jails and calabooses, declare that not only is the Oregon City resting place free from annoy ing grey-backs; but that its spring beds are almost as good ' as those mother used to make, and that a stay in the bastile is a pleasant feature of the trip along the line. Chief Blanchard souses the jail with chemicals twice a week, and has it flushed out about every other day. Twelve Guards Ordered State Game Warden Shoemaker has -completed arrangements for plac ing 12 deputies about the falls and above the suspension bridge, at the county seat, to see that the fishing laws are not violated . between now and the opening of the gillnet season on May 1.
