8 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY. APRIL 27, 1916. WHAT IS ART?. ll "one of the most reliable prophets I know of," said Josh Billings, "is a hen. She doesn't prophesy an egg until after it has happened." The store that crows too soon, that prophesies sensationally "best for least" will not be com pletely trusted, after the people discover the hoax. This store is 'not free from mistakes but it takes good care to avoid sensational statement in its ad vertising. It wants the people to trust both its printed and spoken words. It wishes to be relied upon for its veracity it prophesies its values only after they have been tried out.

"I have a little money left," were Van Auken's next words, "and I am willing to spend it all in any proceedings that will clear me." If that could be done Metzner offered to shake hands with the defendant, who scorned the honor. At the suggestion of Moore that Shockley should huve witnesses to his allegation, Metzner stormingly re torted that witnesses were not need ed as the affidavit was truthful. The by-play was about to be brought to an abrupt termination when Moore moved that the affidavit be laid upon the table, a motion that was seconded by Buckles, who had tuken no active part in the battle, but the vote was delayed by Roake, who asked that the accused member be given a chance to vindicate himself. "Van Auken's word is as good as the other fellow's,", said Koake, "and we should be as fair with him as we are with Shockley." When a vote was taken on the motion Templeton, Al bright and Metzner voted negatively, while Moore, Roake and Buckles af firmed its passage. Andrews and the mayor did not vote, making the re sult a tie. In the meantime Temple ton started discussion again when he said: "I tell you, gentlemen, I would not believe Van Auken on a stack of bibles." At the ' repeated suggestion of Templeton that Van Auken should withdraw until his innocence had been proved Roake put in a speech : "There might be a nigger in the woodpile and the council is trying to put Van Auken cut so that it cnn slip something over that he would not sanction. After vote on Moore's motion An drcws defended his failure to vpte by saying thut he wasnt in the light that it was news to him. "However, I don't think Van Auken should take part in the meetings if he is guilty," he said. "I don t know what stand to take without legal advice. I don't know that Van Auken has been guilty of disorderly conduct that should cause him to be ousted, but I don't think the matter is settled by laying the affidavit on the table," The final charge was put into the administrative gun by Mayor llackett, who hud been comparatively silent throughout the discussion. The mayor said that the proper course for Van Auken to pursue would be to re tire at least until the rifxt meeting, and attempt, in the interval, to vin dicute himself. This suggestion was taken to heart by Van Auken and he took a seat at the side of the council chamber as the other members took up the business of the evennig. President O. D. Eby of the Com ' mercial club waited upon the alder manic body with a request for the use of the down-town streets 4 in carrying out the program of the an nual Booster day celebration which is listed, for May 27. Permission to use the streets was granted. Recorder Loder read the report on funding bonds, as prepared by the finance committee, showing that fund ing bonds valued at $270,000 hnd been sold to the three banking institutions of the city. The Bank of Oregon City was the heaviest purchaser of fund ing bonds, it being credited with purchases to the extent of $115,000.

The report was referred back j here he has become well-known in the to the committee to report upon at the next regular meeting. A communication from the P. R. L. & P. Co., relative to that corpora tion's part in repairing Main street was read. Fearing a misunderstand ing of its obligations on the part of the company the council instructed the recorder to advise the company more fully of demands upon it, The council ordered the purchase of as much rock as necessary from the Hawley Pulp & Paper company, at a rate of 25 cents a load, delivered, to make a ,fill on Seventeenth street junction with Abernathy road. It was estimated by City Engineer Mil ler that about 3,000 yards of rock would be required for the job. The price on the rock was secured from Mr. Hawley by Mayor Hackett, Councilman Roake's motion that the Cross lot be donated as a site for the proposed Clackamas county ar mory, provided appropriations for the erection of a building be made by the county court and the Btato legls lature, was referred to the finance committee, whose duty it will be to report upon the matter at the next meeting. Chief of Police Blanchard was in structed to personally notify property owners in certain parts of the city to clean up the streets in front of their property where stones and dirt have been dumped. Along similar lines Mayor Hackett reported upon the findings of a personal investiga tion into the conditions of property in several sections of the city, where junk and debris has not been given the proper attention. Through the press the mayor requested that prop erty owners bo notified that the first three days of each month were desig nated as the time for putting debris in the street for collection by the city wagons. SCHOOL BOARD IS DEFENDANT IN SUIT (Continued from Page 1) cuit Judge Campbell to restrain the city school board from renewing the contract under which the city superin tendent is working, and would enjoin the board from paying the superin tendent's salary' for the remainder of the present year. It is understood that the school board has alrendy had the matter of the election of a superintendent for next year under consideration, and Mr. Beatie's action came at a time when the board hnd to dispose of the office. There has been opposition in several quarters to the reelection of Mr, Toozc, and this has recently taken such an active turn that State Su perintendent Churchill has boon taken into the council of war by Claude Miner, principal of the high school. In a recent communication to the state superintendent Mr. Miner is said to have asked for time to file a com plaint against the city superintend ent in case that official should attempt to secure a state teacher's certificate. Unprofessional conduct on the part of Mr. Tooze is also said to be an allegation contained in the communi cation of the high school faculty mem ber. Mr. Miner is said to have invit ed public hearing of the charges he makes. F. J. Tooze has been city school superintendent for a number of years, The Items appearing in this ad are on sale SATURDAY ONLY 25c 30 dozen of them in neat flowered patterns, all sizes and not more than two to a customer.

TO MOVE THE COUNTY PAVING PLANT (Continued from Page 1) the county in the matter of building permanent highways after the plan that is being carried out by the county court. Although Mr. Busch has made the statement that in filing the injunction suit against the court it was not his inention to interfere in any way with the plans of the court, other than o far as necessary to protect his own property interests, the case will be given no further consideration. The suit will probably not be carried out either by Mr. Busch or the court since it has already been arranged by the latter to move the plant as soon as possible to the new site at Parkplace. "Because of the high water caused by. the melting of the heavy snows in the foothills, it would not be possible to open a paving plant on my proper ty until about the middle of July," Mr. Busch stated when his injunction suit was taken to court. "I arrive at this opinion as a result of the ex perience I have had as a resident on the same property throughout the past 28 years." This, Mr. Busch says, is one of the reasons why he was not willing to see the paving plant erect ed at the site originally selected. Cut This Out It's Worth Money DON'T MISS THIS.

Jones Drug Co. To Exterminate Rabid Coyotes The appropriation by congress in the urgent deficiency act of $75,000 for the control of rabies among coy otes in the west has enabled the bur eau of biological .survey of the U. S. department of agriculture, to put 5 inspectors and 1!)() hunters' in the held, in addition to its existing or ganization, These men are to serve in Oregon, Nevada, California, and Idaho, and along the border in Utah. In addition to these measures the Ne vada Rabies commission has signified its intention of expending a large sum of money under recommendations made by the biological survey, and it is probable that other states will do likewise. Stockmen and ranch own ers are cooperating by furnishing horses and forage free of charge. The importance of preventing the spread of the disease is fully realized.

Question of Propriety of Picture to be Determined The unveiled form of a woman ap pearing in "The Warning," a picture to be shown at the Grand theatre next Sunday and Monday, aroused a storm of protest when the film was exhibited in Portland, and echo of contention was heard in Oregon City, where the local press divided sentiment in re gard to the picture. Those who were interested at that time are to be' given an opportunity now to pass upon the merits of "The Warning," which., is fashioned by Henry Kolker upon the same plan as Dante's "Inferno." It is a picture of the great white way, where the ele ments of humanity are sadly inter mixed, and where the human equation makes som e very peculiar plays in unraveling the mystery of life as it is there presented. Vn presenting the subject to picture show patrons the Equitable Film company has seen fit to inject into the story in several places the nude forms of several of the actresses, and it was this feature of the production upon which senti ment was divided. - Whether art is art or otherwise is the perplexing question to be decided to the satisfaction of patrons of the Grand at that theatre on Sunday and Monday. A Twice-Told Tale . One of interest to our readers. Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitated to believe it at first hearing, we feel se cure in accepting its truth now. The following experience of an Oregon City man is confirmed after three years. James Wilkinson, 201-14th St., Oregon City, says: "Nothing gave me so much relief from pains in my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble as did Doan's Kidney Pills. . I had to get up often at night and I couldn't sleep on account of the pains and aches all over. I was quite stiff in my limbs. Doan's Kidney Pills were finally recommended to me and I us ed some. I took several boxes and though I am in my seventies, I am now hale and hearty" (Statement giv en March 20, 1910.) f A Confirmed Statement Over three years later, Mr. Wilkin, son said: "All I have said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills before still holds goodi" Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Wilkinson has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

Pupils Appear in Recital The pupils' recital at the home of Miss .Louise Walker was a very pleasant musical event of last week and a number of guests greatly en joyed the program, after which light refreshments were served. Miss Walker's pupils acquitted themselves admirably in a series of very difficult numbers and their work indicated the success of the public concert which Miss Walker plans to hold ir. the Congregational church in June. Red men Have Team The local lodge of Redmen have a baseball team in the field under the management of L. R. Nobel that will start its onslaught upon teams in this part of the state against the Stafford tossers at that place on Sun day. The lodge nine includes a num ber of fast players, some of them hav ing very favorable records on the diamond, and the pre-season outlook is very bright. Mr. Nobel is looking for out-of-town games and wilf com municate with interested teams. Meeting of Camera Club "Clouds," was the interesting sub ject of discussion at the meeting of the Oregon City Camera club held in the Commercial club rooms here on Monday evening. Several very good specimens of his work were used in illustrating a talk on photographic cloud effects by C. C. Chambers. Sug gestions were entertained at the meet ing as to the advisability of holding a photographic art exhibit in connection with the Clackamas county fair this fall.

The entertainment will be of a general nature, and musical num bers w ill be a prominent feature. The proceeds from the social will be turned into the treasury of the union. Tell it to the printer at the Courier job department he does the rest CASE ENDS PEACEFULLY u C. T. Tooze Accepts Settlement from , Transportation Company The peace that follows the storm has settled about the case in which the Willamette Valley Southern and Charles T. Tooze were principals and the suit will be dismissed as a result of settlement out of court. The case was to have been heard before Judge Campbell late last week, but at that time it was postponed and it is pre sumed that the final entry has been made in the litigation that has been going through the circuit and supreme courts for some time. C. T. Tooze and George Griffith started action some time ago to force the ' Willamette Valley Southern, off property on Water street south of Sixteenth, where the company had been granted a franchise by the city council for the erection of a trestle, The case was heard in the circuit court where a decision favored the transportation company. On appeal to the state supreme court the cir cuit court was reversed. Later the railroad company started condemna tory proceedings in the circuit court. Later a jury found a judgment of $125 in favor of George Griffith, with whom the company had offered to set tle at that figure. The Tooze case was expected to be similar, but its culmination in court was prevented by the settlement made by the prin cipals last week. SALMON GO TO EUROPE Oregon City Men Ship Fish in Ice to Rotterdam Market Although the freight rates appear to v be excessive Lawrence Ruconich and Harry Greaves of Oregon City have a reasonable assurance that the sale of Oregon City salmon will prove profitable in Rotterdam. On Satur day these gentlemen shipped to the old country three salmon taken from the river here. The fish were frozen in solid cakes of ice and packed heavily with sawdust to insure, to as great an extent as possible, their safe arrival. The shipment weighed nearly sixteen hundred pounds after packing and the freight rate alone would almost buy salmon for a regi ment of troops. The fish were froz en in ice at the Oregon City ice fac tory. If the shipment reaches Rotterdam in favorable condition it is probable that the shippers will be called upon to supply a regular demand through Rotterdam fish merchants. The fish will go to a select trade in that coun try, a trade which will not think of the heavy transportation cost in its desire to satisfy its appetite for Ore gon salmon, and it is predicted that the next shipment, if the first proves the feasibility of the plan, will consist of a carload of nish bought and pack ed here. ..Additional.. ...Locals...

Jones, filed for pro bate on last Thursday, are no better off today than they were before the death of their relative. Felix Jones has been named administrator. Mr. Jones had no immediate family and his estate was to be divided among the children of nine brothers and sis ters, of whom most are dead, but, ac cording to John W.

Andrews is Joke Interest in the smoker at Busch's hall on Wednesday evening centered in the main bout, an event between Tuffy Winger and Alec Trambitas, which went through six rounds of fast milling to a draw. Tuffy Winger, perhaps, took the heaviest punish ment, but he gained points enough to offset this disadvantage by being in the fight at all times and landing some very heavy wallops. As a comic supplement the four round mix of Bill Gold and Adam An drew was good, but as a fight it was fierce. Andrews, who is West Linn's brave battler, may have landed a blow, but it wasn't apparent to the audience. Referee Harry Worswick ipallpH hp hnnf. pavlv in thp tnir1 round when a stiff right to the jaw sent Andrews sprauling on the car pet.
