Putting It Neatly Charley White sent a cigar to the editor yesterday morning that was so long that the pencil pusher had to run the fire end out through the win dow and send the devil outside to hold the match to light it. When I got to puffing real good and plenty, the smoke poured from crevices in the office shack in such volumes that a fire alarm was turned in, but. when the real source of the smoke was discover ed, Councilman Larabee sent a motor cycle courier to meet the fire com- pany and tell them" it was a false alarm that it was only a decayed cabbage patch burning. But listen: What I started out to say, was, that a boy of the usual weight and fineness was born at Charley's house at four o'clock a. m. Thursday March 23, 1916, (Columbia Herald, Houlton.)

I accoHoiON I UPHOLSTEfllNG r FUNNY STORY HERE Effort to Start Paper in Miiwaukie Lead Promoter Far Astray An enterprising youth with some slight newspaper experience in Olym pia, Washington, and in other tank towns, breezed into Miiwaukie not so very long ago and astounded local merchants and businessmen there with a proposal to revive the "Mii waukie Bee," which sometime ago up and flitted away to Sellwood and be came the present and prosperous "Sellwood Bee." The youth of enterprise and hope solicited advertising in Miiwaukie, and some of the merchants said they'd help and some simply didn't say anything. And in the course of his search for J prospective business this enterprising youth asked Julius Wil bur, presumptive boss of the Friar's Club, if he wouldn't help the new pa-, per with a six-months advertising contract. 9 Can you imagine Julius Wilbur ad vertising the Friars' Club,? In the first place he doesn't have to he gets his publicity free. However, Julius is a kind-hearted man, and he hated to turn the enterprising youth down. So he told him that he personally would be only too glad to assist a new and struggling paper, but that the matter would have to be taken up with the "board of directors" of the organization. So somewhere there is floating around a letter addressed to the board of directors of the Friars' Club, asking them to endorse a six-months advertising contract with the propos ed "Miiwaukie Bee." Friends of Julius say that he showed some class in thus "passing the buck" - to the imaginary directors of his club, and they are wondering when the enter prising youth will get tired of wait ing for an answer. Once again, even if the Friars' Club had a board of directors, can you imagine them advertising in a newspaper?

AS TO THE LAW Militia Headquarters Bedecked with Pretty Girl Advertising Beer Captain L. E. Blanchard, of G Company, Oregon National Guard, is one person. Chief of Police L. E. Blanchard, of the county seat, is also the same per son. But as captain of the militia company Mr. Blanchard has nothing to do with the prohibition law. As chief of police, Mr. Blanchard has something to do with the law. Hence it is up to Chief Blanchard to arrest Captain Blanchard. Why? Because Captain Blanchard has on the wall of his office iit Armory Hall a large calendar, bearing the picture of a pretty and charming maiden, and above the girl is the in junction to drink somebody's beer. The prohibition law says it is illegal to "advertise" beer in Oregon. Hence Capt. Blanchard is passively violating the law that Chief Blanchard is sup posed to enforce. It is a pretty calendar, and pleasing to look upon but the law is the law. You can get the Courier for one year for $1.00 if you pay in advance. BIG MEET PLANNED Indoor Track Contests at Corvallis Will Bring Record Entries' The far western meet to be held in the O. A. C. Armory April 1 promises to be the biggest athletic event ever pulled off in the Northwest.. ' "Every day our officers receive new lists of entries for the meet," report the officers in charge. "Almost every day another track star is added to the growing list of famous athletes. Among the representatives will be Dan Kelly, holder of the world's rec ord in the high hurdles, and Howard Drew, the colored wonder of world wide fame. Los Angeles will also enter noted performers while Stan ford University, Olympic Club of San Francisco, the Multnomah Athletic Association, and the University of Oregon will all send trained athletes. Against this array the local col lege has but a small number of noted performers to enter in the various events. However, an attempt will be made to put the local colors well up among those of the winners. NEW RECORD MADE Oregon Hen Lays Thousand Eggs in 65-Month Test for Production Oregona, a White Leghorn O. A. C. Station hen, has laid her thousandth egg. This result of sixty-five con secutive months of laying is the greatest long distance trap-nest record known to the world. The eggs were all laid in the trap-nest from which they were taken and official record made. .The thousandth egg was laid in her fifth year of laying. In the first four years the hen lay 987 eggs. She had but thirteen more to lay in order to get into the 1,000-egg rank, which she has now laid. Oregona is the ancestor of the pen of fowls that won the laying competi tion at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Only a few years ago it was believed that the domestic hen could lay no more than 600 eggs in a lifetime. Oregon City Man Appointed to Im portant Place in Fisheries : Henry O'Malley, of Oregon City, has been appointed chief of the divis ion of fish culture by Secretary Red field, of the federal department of labor and commerce. The appoint ment comes to Mr. O'Malley unsolicit ed, and he will leave for Washington, D. C, shortly to take up his new duties. In his new office Mr. O'Malley will replace R. S. Johnson, who died recently. ' Mr. O'Malley entered the employ of the United States bureau of fisher ies as a laborer at St. Johnsbury, Vt., nearly 20 years ago, and has occupied all of the subordinate positions lead ing up to his new position. He was stationed at Leadville, Colo., as a skilled laborer, and was transferred to Baker Lake, Wash., as fish culturalist for four years, and then promoted to superintendent and served four and one-half years more in Puget Sound waters. He then be came superintendent of the Clacka mas, Ore., station and two and a half years ago was promoted to field su perintendent and placed in charge of the work of the bureau with head quarters at Seattle. - He is widely recognized as an au thority on matters pertaining to the propagation of fish, and particularly with the habits of Pacific coast sal- TOO MUCH WORK Sandy Woman Asks Divorce and Di vision of Husband's Property Filing rather unique charges, Mrs. Minnie Maroney, of Sandy, has asked the circuit court to grant her a di vorce from George C. Maroney, whom she married in Burlington, Washing' ton, in 1895. She also asks for the custody of her four children, for ali mony and attorney's fees, and for half a $20,000 tract at Sandy and other property. Mrs. Maroney says in her com plaint that in 1900 her husband started a logging camp at Kelso, Washington, and forced her to cook and do all the work coincident to car ing for a crew of 15 men. In 1902, she further avers, her husband open ed another camp at Pleasant Home, and again permitted her to be drudge in a camp of 25 men. Eleven years ago, she adds, her husband bought an 80-acre tract at Sandy, and forced her to work clearing the' land and later cultivating it. In addition to this, she says her husband neglected to give her decent clothes, and that he neglected his children and spoke brutally to her before them. In brief she charges cruel and inhuman treatment. CHAMBERLAIN IS BACKED Live Wires of Commercial Club Take Stand on Oregon-California Grant Members of the Live Wires of the Oregon City Commercial club on Tuesday adopted resolutions that practically endorse the Chamberlain bill relating to the disposition of the Oregon-California railway land-grant lands in this state. There was no opposition to the resolution as adopt ed, and many of those present spoke feelingly on the matter. The reso lution adopted is as follows: "Resolved: That the Live Wires of the Oregon City Commercial Club recommend to Congress that all moneys realized to the United States Government from the sale of the Oregon-California Land Grant lands and timber thereon be divided as follows: 20 per cent to the United States Gov ernment to defray the cost of admin istration and 80 per cent to the State of Oregon, of which 80 per cent one half shall be assigned to the irreduc ible school fund of the State and one half to the counties in which the rail--road lands are respectively located, for the construction of roads and bridges." RAILROAD TO HELP S. P. Offers $1250 Towards Cost of Changing Roadway to New Era The county court has received from the Southern Pacific an offer to con tribute $1250 towards the cost of re locating the Oregon City-New Era road, so that two dangerous crossings will be done away with and a better grade obtained. The change in the road wil cover a stretch 1300 feet long, and the new roadway will be given a 20-foot sur face of bituminous macadam. The changes in the present road that are proposed are near New Era, and will keep the highway entirely on the east side of the Southern Pacific tracks, doing away with the stretch that lies at present between the rail way and the river. You like suggestive printing don't you something that has the "punch" to it? Try the Courier Job Depart ment. x - And Still It Rises Last week the Courier bought some common, cheap paper at wholesale and paid six cents a pound for it. Early this week the order was dupli cated and the bill was nine cents a pound. Also last week the Courier bought some low-grade bond paper for eight and a quarter cents. Mon day we ordered some more and they said the price had risen to 12 cents, and Tuesday when the paper arrived the price was 14 cents on the bill. These little details of the joys of business life in wartime are mention ed here so that you'll see why print ing costs more than it did. Colored stock is rising faster than the river in flood time, primarily because there is a shortage of dyestuffs, and also because there is a shortage for ma terial out of which the better grades of paper are made. So acute has this shortage become that the govern ment has started a campaign to aid paper-makers, and is asking all people to save rags and waste paper. When paper rises two cents a nound wholesale over night, don't be surprised if your printing bill also takes a slide upwards. The Courier doesn't want to charge you more but we ve got to pay for the paper we use. Wall Paper ADVATCGE STYLES " 1910 Wall Papers , 3 Wall Paper SPRING HOUSE CLEANING calls for NEW WALL PAPER.

Ashland Has Scheme to Boost Light ing of Porches at Night With the idea of making Ashland still more attractive than it is now, the Ashland council has offered porch lights to all home-owners of the "lithia" city for five cents a month. It is pointed out that having a glow ing bulb on each porch after dark would add to the attractiveness of the residence district, would give better lights on the sidewalks, and would otherwise benefit the city. The trivial cost is expected to make the scheme popular. Why wouldn't it be a good plan for the county seat to get busy like wise. The city dads could probably make a deal with the electric company to put porch-lights on a street cir cuit, so that every house would have a twinkling beacon after dark. Five cents a month for an aid in finding the keyhole isn't much, and it would make night travel on some of thet hill thoroughfares less of a hazardous' un dertakings than it is at present. Of course porch lights everywhere might embarass Theodore and Anna bell when they said "good night," but think of the benefit to the city. tirement Fund," Howard M.

After the attempt failed, they say, Frazier endeavored to conceal the true im port of his injuries by saying he hurt himself in a fall from the loft of his barn. Frazier was taken to a Port land hospital for treatment. It is said that Frazier came to the Estacada country some two years ago, and took up farming, as his physician had advised an outdoor life for him. He was untrained in agriculture, and his farm did not pay. During a part of the time he has lived near Esta cada his wife has taken in sewing to help out the family finances; and it is believed that becoming despondent over his troubles, the man attempted to end his worries. NO MINORS FOUND Deputy Sheriff Frost Visits Woolen Mills on Blind Clues Somebody this week told Deputy Sheriff Jack Frost that minors were being employed at the Oregon City Woolen mills, when they ought to be in school. As Deputy Sheriff Frost is also juvenile . officer and truant officer, he made an investigation Mon day, but was unable to discover any children of school age engaged in the big plant. Every worker that he asked regarding his school record had a satisfactory answer, and some had credentials to show they had a perfect right to be working for their living. Members of the executive force at the woolen mills showed Mr. Frost every courtesy, and gave him the freedom of the plant during his in spection. He questioned all employ ees whom he thought might come un der his jurisdiction, but found no vio lations of the law. Pleased at this result, which reflected credit on the local establishment, Mr. Frost de parted.
