OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1916.
"PIONEER NIGHT"
AT CITY COUNCIL
(Continued from Page 1)
. wise, and I'm proud of it. But when
it comes to assessing me for a third
sewer, after I've connected with two
at my own expense and then paid
for them, I'm here to protest nad say
that I don't believe its square."
Councilman Roake said he didn't
think it was right, either, and moved
that the matter of the sewer assess
ments be heard at a special meeting
next Tuesday night, and that in the
meantime the Recorder look up the
records and find out v$io wanted that
sewer in the first place.
Reports of the fire chief, police
chief, recorder, and finance committee
were then read; and also the opinion
of Livy Stipp on the i-efunding bond
issue. Mr. Stipp pronounced the
bonds 0. K. In the course of audit
ing the monthly bills, one was pre
sented from the Gamewell Fire Alarm
company for inspecting the local sys
tem. The bill was for $5.60, and the
council seemed inclined to hold it up
Councilman Metzner said that the in
spector had told him that Oregon City
had the best system in Oregon, Wash
ington or Montana and thus cheered
with praise, the council passed the
bill.
Councilman VanAuken suggested
it was time to think about oiling the
streets. City Engineer Miller sug
gested using liquid asphalt, instead
of oil, so as to give the pavement a
"binder" and to better preserve the
streets. The street committee was
asked to investigae the wo plans and
report which it thought most econ
omical.
Mr. VanAuken also wanted to know
if motor trucks had any right to tear
up wooden crosswalks, or dump dirt
in the river. Mr. Schuebel said that
tearing up crosswalks was probably
legitimate wear-and-tear, and as for
dumping dirt in the river, that was a
matter for Uncle Sam to look after,
"But if we let them dump dirt in
the river, Uncle Sam will have to
dredge it out again," said Mr. Van
Auken. Nobody seemed to care.
Mr. VanAuken also wanted three
fire hydrants at Mountain View, and
the Recorder was instructed to tell
tho water board to put them in: one
at Molalla avenue and Duane street,
and the other two somewhere on Du
ane street or thereabouts.
Mayor Hackett then remarked that
it was time to consider jitneys and
jitney permits. He said there hadn't
. been any applications for franchises
as yet. Mr. Templeton delivered a
short oration against jitneys that ran
to Portland and wanted to know why
the mayor and the council ignored the
jitney ordinance. Metzner thought
the jitney on the hill ought to be let
run, but the chief of police ought
to arrest all other jits.
Councilman "Jit" VanAuken sug
gested that the city ought to give
the hill jitney $20 or $30 a year as a
subsidy, instead of asking a fran
chise fee from it, adding that the
city put up $100 a month for the ele
vator.
This brought out the second coun
cilmanic "pioneer" of the evening,
former Councilman Sam Francis, who
said he lived on the hill, and that the
, hill peope wanted some kind of trans
portation.
"When I was in the council," he
said, "we had the same trouble you
have now. When questions that con
cerned the people were up for dis
cussion, nobody would ever turn out
and express an opinion. Now I'm here
tonight to tell you what the people
on the hill think of the jitney mat
ter. We've walked for 25 years, and
we are tired of walking and want
some sort of transportation. We'd
like a street car line, if we could get
one. But every time a street car line
is suggested there is trouble over get
ting a franchise; and now that we
have had jitney service, there seems
to be trouble over a franchise, too."
Mr. Francis went into the matter
in much detail, and registered one
strong kick against the VanAuken
and Chandler jitneys to wit, that
they did not keep any regular
schedule, but went off on "for hire"
trips when they were most needed. He
said the people on the hill wanted the
city to license tho hill jitney, and to
give it a franchise that would com
pel it to run on a regular and con
venient schedule. He took the coun
cil severely to task for showing fa
voritism to the VanAuken-Chandler
jitney and giving it a permit, and for
talking of giving it an exclusive fran
chise, when there was a man in the
field who was willing to put on a 25
passenger buss and make half-hourly
trips.
Councilman Metzner said that was
his idea, too; he wanted to see the
hill jitney forced to make regular
schedule trips. Councilman Temple
ton then hauled out the "resolution"
that emanated as Mayor Hackett
said a; a previous meeting from
"Charlie" Latourette, and got in his
speech about the beauty of Portland's
jitney regulation and the "immoral
ity" of the Portland-Oregon City jit
neys. Mr. Templeton and Mr. Fran
cis differed about the matter of com
petition with the interurban line. The
third councilmanic "pioneer" of the
evening, former Councilman Fred
Meyer, also entered the fray, and
scored the Portland jits while he
praised tho hill jitney.
Finally Christian Schuebel got the
floor and urged the council to use
common sense in regard to regulat
ing the jitneys or else repeal the jit
ney ordinance altogether.
"There seems to be a lack of com
prehension of your jitney law," said
Mr. Schuebel. "Under its provisions
jitneys of all kinds are absolutely pro
hibited from operating in the city, un
less they have a franchise. Permits
granted them by the mayor have no
legal value. Now if the council will
look at the matter in a common
sense way, and draw up a model jit
ney franchise which simply means
regulate them both the city and the
jitneys can be protected. This fran
chise should provide a definite route
for each jitney, a definite schedule,
and a definite fee. There is no need
of scaring people by talking1 about a
franchise and a great big bond; a
simple regulation will accomplish all
you want. You don t have to give
every man who applies a franchise;
but when you do give a man a Iran
chise you -can revoke it the minute
he doesn't live up to its regulations.
Now if you don't want to do this, why
let's be business-like and repeal the
ordinance; and if you do want to do
it, let's stop giving permits and get
down to something definite."
Councilman Metzner moved that
the mayor appoint a committee of
three to draw up a model franchise,
that the chief be ordered to arrest
all jitneys but the hill jitney, and that
the hill jitney be given a permit till
next Tuesday. Templeton" seconded
the motion, it carried, and Mr. Hack-
ett appointed Metzner, VanAuken,
and Buckles as ' the committee to
wrestle with the jitney problem anew.
The Drs. Mount offered to stand the
expense of "markers""on Main street
at the intersections of Tenth and Sev-
enth, so that automobiles would be
forced to turn square corners, and so
simplify traffic problems. The mat
ter was referred to the street com
mittee, and council adjourned.
STOCK MOVEMENT HEAVY
Beaver Creek Sends Good Supplies to
Portland Yards This Year
Ferris Mayfield, of Beaver Creek,
has favored the Courier with the fol
lowing account of stock shipments
from his station on the Willamette
Valley Southern:
The shipping of stock at Beaver
Creek has increased to such an ex
tent that I now figure on a car load
every week.
Since starting up in December,
have shipped close to 700 head of hogs
and several head of cattle. In gen
eral the farmers get their hogs in
fine condition. Four hogs, 7 months
old and averaging 264 pounds each,
bought of Mrs. C. Kleinsmith and
Miss E. Kleinsmith, of Clarkes, this
week, topped the market out of the
700 head. They were the O. I. C,
breed.
Ten hogs, also O. I. C. breed, 6
months old and averaging 220 pounds,
each, received in March from Ed.
Buol, of Clarkes, were a close sec
ond. J. Egger, of Redland, also de
livered 10 head, 6 months old, and
averaging 210 pounds each.
I expect (to make shipments of
sheep and lambs soon.
Could Hardly Do Her Work
Housework is trying on health and
strength. Women are as much in
clined to kidney and bladder trouble
as men. Symptoms of aching back,
stiff and sore joints and muscles,
blurred vision, pufiiness under eyes,
should be given prompt attention be
fore they lead to chronic or more
serious ailment. Mrs. George Hauck,
955 Pearl St., Benton Harbor, Mich.,
writes: "I was awful bad, with such
pain I could hardly do my work, and
I am very thankful for Foley Kidney
Pills." Jones Drug Co.
BOOK ON PARKS OUT
National Playgrounds Described

HARD SURFACE OFFER
Worswick Paving Offered County for
Ronds at Practical Cost
The county court has received a
letter from a former member of the
Standard Paving company, control
lers of the Worswick paving laid on
Main street, Oregon City, offering to
permit to use this form of surfacing
on its roads at cost.
In making the offer Harry Wors
wick asks for a salary of $1800 a year,
as general superintendent of the
work, and desires the county to erect
a plant for making the pavement. The
cost of this plant is estimated at
5,000. Aside from this Mr. Wors
wick asks that he be given the privi-
leg of engaging the three men who
will be intimately concerned with mix
ing the pavement.
The county is to furnish material
for the paving, and is to lay the finish
ed product on such roads as it selects.
The plan has been taken under advise
ment by the court.
METHODIST REVIVAL ENDS
Thirteen Weeks Battle for Converts
Brings Over 35 Into Church
Revival services which havo been
conducted in the First Methodist
church at Oregon City for the past
13 weeks ended the first of the week.
Over 30 new members have been se

who attended the meetings have pro
fessed conversion. Of the conversions
about a dozen were children. A ban
of workers was organized at the
close of the revival to continue church
development work.
Services were started by the Rev.
J. K. Hawkins, pastor of the church,
and after some weeks the Rev. L. F.
Smith, of Portland, was called to take
charge of the revival. Services were
hold nightly in the church, at times
lasting until early in the morning.

William Green. Troubles of the Mc
Maugh family were freely aired at

REGISTRATION STILL SLOW
Less than Half of Total Voters En
rolled by First of Week
Figures compiled by the county
clerk's office shows that up to this
week 6,886 voters out of a possible
14,000 had registered in Clackamas
county. Registrations have been
made at the court house at the rate
of about 50 a day. This figure will
probably be considerably increased
during the remainder of the time for
registering, as the books close April
18.
District registrars are speeding up
as the registration period draws to
a close. They are visiting houses in
their communities and getting voters
to enroll, and are thus piling up a
considerable vote that will not show
immediately at the county clerk's
office. One registrar secured 50
names last Monday, for instance; but
these will not be reported to the
county clerk's office until the end of
the week.
Registration "stops April 18 for the
average voter. The only people who
can register after that date are those
who become of age just before elec
tion or those who become of age just
before election or those who become
naturalized after April 18. REGIS

CURFEW HOUR CHANGES
Nine O'clock, Summer Deadline, Now
Sounded on County Seat Alarm
Boys and girls who didn't hear the
curfew bell at eight o'clock last Sat
urday, and who thought that Patrol
man Woodward had forgotten to ring
it, and that as a consequence they
wouldn t have to go home at all, were
sadly disappointed at nine o'clock
when the familiar three strokes on
the big bell on top of the hill boom
ed out. The reason for the change
was the wise and lenient provision of
the law, which lets youngsters stay
up and out longer in summer than in
winter.
Spring having been well started
on its way, and the early dark of
evenings having given away to a
pleasant twilight, the "summer cur
few" hour is now in force, and until
late in September nine o'clock will
be the deadline for minors on the
streets of the county seat, instead of
eight. "
FEW FISH FOR ANGLERS
Lots of Enthusiasm, but Too Much
Mud in Waters for Real Sport
Trollers for salmon made their ap
pearance at the falls last Saturday
and Sunday, and caught a few fish.
The record for the first day of troll
ing was one chinook and six steel
heads. Sunday the catch was a lit
tle better," probably because more
anglers were out. But the river was
too turbulent and muddy for much
sport, and after trying their luck for
a couple hours in the early morning,
most of the fishermen quit.
Good sport was reported by anglers
who went out after trout Saturday
and Sunday, some heavy catches be
ing made in the upper Clackamas
region and back of Molalla. With the
advent of good weather, river and
stream conditions are expected to im
prove, and more anglers will go out.
Clackamas county appears to be con
tinuing as the sportsmen's paradise
of Oregon.
EDITOR ON PLATFORM
G.
J. Taylor, of Molalla, Tells Canby
Folk About "Dad"
Wednesday night, at the Canby
Methodist church, G. J. Taylor, edi
tor of the Molalla Pioneer, gave his
interesting and philosophical talk on
"Dad." Aside from being a news
paperman Mr. Tayior is a humorist
and a thinker, and his remarks about
the head of the family were well
worth listening to. And there was
a kindly morale to his talk, as well,
that stayed with his auditors after
they left the meeting.
Music was furnished by the Pioneer
male quartette. A large gathering
was present, and the proceeds were
given to the Canby highschool.
Editor Taylor is fast building a
reputation as one of the best and
most entertaining speakers in the
county, and probably will soon be in
demand on the Chautauqua circuit.
FISH WASTE UTILIZED
Eastern Plant Will Seek Profits in
Material Discarded in Trade
About April 15 the Sanitary Ren
dering Co., of Lubec, Me., on the
American border, will complete its
factory, now in course of erection,
for extracting oil from herring waste
and making dried fish scrap from the
residue, The company plans to turn
out about 750 barrels of oil and 300
tons of fish scrap this year.
The fish will for the most part be
caught near Grand Manan Island,
New Brunswick, and wilLbe import
ed into Lubec after being cured by
Canadians. The sale of smoked her
ring has been one of the chief ex
port activities of the St. Stephen dis
trict for many years, and it is hoped
that the utilization of the waste will
still further increase the value of the
trade.

Beach, which comes to the Grand

most typical American plays ever

story of the novel by the same name,
the photo-drama reproduces on the
screen the scenery of the Panama
Canal country, and all the wealth of
costume and incident that is com

masterful rendering of the career of
a puckyl Yankee, outcast from his
