STAFFORD
The conversation the past week
leads1 to the dreadful murder of Mrs.
Helen Jennings last Monday night.
While she was not known personally
to many in this neighborhood the Gore
place is known by nearly everyone
and some remember the Gore family
before it removed to Portland. Mag
gie, a sister, died suddenly in Port
land years ago, and Francis, the elder
sister, owned and occupied the old
home for some years until she died
three or four years ago ,leaving the
old home to Mrs. Jennings, her young
er mister, and Mrs. Jennings' son.
Francis had brought up the son from
the time of the trouble between Mr.
and Mrs. Jennings. Therefore, hav
ing known of the family and the
place, it brings the dreadful occurance
nearer to one s mind.
A missionary preached to a crowd
ed house last Sunday at the German
Baptist church. He is recently from
India and his discourse was very in
teresting and enjoyed by all, as he
speke in English.
H. E. Hayes is quite feeble. Some
of his old time friends propose giv
ing him a card shower. He is nearly
85 years old and a little visit, or small
attentions give him much pleasure.
Therefore, let us pause from our own
full and busy lives to remember one
who has been a factor in the early
history of Oregon, having come to
this country in 1853, and settled upon
the place then a wilderness where
he is now calmly waiting for the
golden door to open. Address II. E.
Hayes, Sherwood Rt. 5, Oregon.
The primary election passed off
quietly; no excitement in either party
represented.
Mrs. Adolph Delkar was taken
suddenly worse last week, and the
physician called decided she had bet
ter be sent to a special hospital for
better treatment. All her friends, and

GYPSIES ROUTED
Sheriff's Orders Make Necessary
Family Separation
Thirteen automobiles went in one
direction and a long string of wagons,
of the unique fashion common to
gypsy bands, went in -another direc
tion. Thereby were gypsy hearts sad
dened by a disastrous family upheaval
that sent the father with the wagon:
and the mother and children with the
automobiles separating them for at
least a year.
Sheriff Wilson and District Attor
ney Hedges invaded the gypsy colony
that had been camping at Oswego
for several days, on Wednesday
morning, and ordered the large band
to step on its self-starter and turn
its pneumatic tires in the direction of
other climates. The band was travel
ing in thirteen modern and practically
new automobiles, and only two of
them were of the cheap variety. At
Oswego they had established a large
colony and were prepared for a stop
of several days. They found the lake
and other things at Oswego much to
their liking and were wont to leave
their happy camping ground.
Ephram Johns was the king-pin of
the outfit, Ephram received orders
to move and forthwith called a coun
cil of war. The rovers, men, women
and children smoking and all as dirty
as dirt usually gets, decided that to
move was the best way out of the
difficulty and voted to break into two
divisions. The wagon train was
ordered to The Dalles and the auto
mobiles started in the direction of
Seattle. Orders are that the two di
visions shall meet at Chicago next
year for the great gypsy congress.
The business of the thousands of
gypsies in this country will be trans
acted at that great meeting, accord
ing to information imparted by
Ephram Johns. A gypsy king is to
be elected to take the place of the
one who died recently, and other mat
ters fo . importance to the wanderers
will be threshed out.
But when orders to separate came
to the band it was found 'that one
family must be broken up. The Tius
band and father was1 ordered to join
the wagon train and the other mem
bers, including young children, joined
ihe automobile contingent. "The wife
and mother streamed .her dirty face
with tears from a seemingly human
heirt;. the little tots' cried big tears
just as do our children whose parents
keep within the taw and abide peace
fully in comfortable homes. , The
mother cuddled the youngsters to her
breast, just as all other mothers do,
as she mourned the departure of her
husband on' a nomad journey that
would 'keep them apart until the
great conclave next year. Toddling
tots could hardly understand how
their father was to be taken from
them; they could not unravel the
puzzle of the law of this land nor the
law of their own band . that should
tear the branches from the family
tree. When the wagon train start
ed on its journey the children follow
ed it until their smutty little legs
would carry them no farther and
cried to be 'taken "with their father.
Then they returned to the 'automo
biles, piled in the' fifty-horse-power
chargers alongside their weeping,
mother and were gone.
ODD VOTES CAST
Voters Either Trifle, with Privilege
or Do Not Know Duty
Whether the voters of Clackamas
county trifle ' with their electoral
privilege or whether really loyal mo
tives were responsible for peculiar
ballots, is not. apparent in going over
the . tally sheets from . the primary
election of last week. There is evi
dence of incongruity on every sheet
that has been .filed in the county
clerk's office, and some of the results
of the mistaken ambitions of voters
are really amusing.
At Milwaukie some wag or some
misguided ballot-caster, voted for Mrs.
Mary C. Wells as a nominee for cir
cuit judge. Mrs. Wells is the seventy-year-old
woman who was ad
quitted on an arson charge recently in
Judge Campbell's court, after the de
struction of her houses at Oswego. On
the same tally sheets Mrs. "Fritz"
Boysen, wife of the notorious tavern
keeper, is given a vote as a nominee
for constable. These two infringe
ments are on ballots of the republi
can and the democratic party re
spectively. Voters of each party
made light of their privilege in much
the same manner.
Henry Ford's name was written in
for several different honorable po
sitions. He received a number of
votes, from both democrats and re
publicans, for presidential honors, and
a number selected him as their candi
date for vice-president. But the most
cruel joke of all in connection with
Mr. Ford, and the several ambitions
that were expressed in his behalf by
the voters of Clackamas county, was
in the case of a misguided democratic
voter who selected Ford as a dele
gate from this district to the nation
al democratic convention at St.
Louis next month. Thankfully, the
lone ballot will not be sufficient to
send Mr. Ford to St. Louis as a dele
gate from Oregon.
There is evidence on the tally
sheets to substantiate the assertion
that a great many voters wrote in
their own names for legislative nom
inations. The Courier is $1.00 per year.

One Cent Postage
One cent letter postage is attract
ing the attention of congress, 50 bills
calling for the inauguration of a one
cent rate on local delivery letters hav
ing been introduced.
Many newspapers throughout the
country are warmly advocating the
lower rate, and the inauguration of a
so-called "zone" system for the trans
portation of periodical literature of
all kinds. At $he present time the
great bulk of mail being carried dis
tance under second class rates is
furnished by the magazine publishers
of the large eastern cities. Train
load after train load of magazines are
sent out to all parts of the country at
a cost of one cent a pound to deliver
such literature.
This, it is claimed, is manifestly
unfair to the publishers of newspa
pers in local territories, who are re
quired to pay the same rate for trans
portation of their products. It is
proposed, and will become part of the
readjustment of postage rates when
such are made, that a zone system be
established so that a certain rate
shall be charged for all classes of
publication for the first fifty miles,
another for 50 to 130 miles, another
for 150 to 300 miles, and so up to a
taul which would extend across the

Find Modern News Subjects in State's
Early Newspapers
Among the rubbish collected by
workmen who have beert tearing down
the old Portland hjuse at the corner
of Ma'n and Fifth streets, several
copies of the "Oregon Free Press,"
the second paper published in the
Oregon country, and one of the very
early few in the western part of the
United States, were' found in an un
usually good state of preservation...
The copies found were fine ex
amples of the printing .art of 1848,
in the days when life was wild and
free in this great northwest; and
when printing resembled the life, yet
' when news consisted, to a great ex
tent, of the same substance that v it
does today. The newspapers found
are very small, yet their contents
I cover a field of discussion not widely
separated from the questions that are
troubling the public mind at present.
Prohibition discussion is given prom
inent space, as are such things as
the story that appears in the issue
of May 20, 1848, under the heading,
"Teaching the Young Idea How to
Shoot."
Advertising is set up in much the
same way as news and the modern
elaborate display style is entirely
. lacking. The editor, George fL.
Curry, who was also clerk of the
Clackamas county circuit court at that
time, had a very limited supply of
type, as is evidenced by the use of
two v's because his fonts contained no
; w's. This is born out by Mr. Curry's
editorial expression:
"A word of ourselves. Previous
to the issuing of the first number of
the Oregon Free Press, we had dis
patched orders to the-Islands (where
most of the early day trading was
done) and to California, with the nec
essary means on our part for their
fulfilment, for a supply of material
type, paper, etc.-twhich we stand
very much in need of. The recent re
turn of the Cowlitz brought us intel
ligence unfavorable to the immediate
realization of our wishes, which we
the more regret as we are extremely
anxious for a speedy enlargement of
our sheet, which cannot be accom
plished until we have more type. Al
though laboring under many difficul
ties, we do not lose heart, and trust
soon to be able to gratify the most
fastidious taste in the appearance
and size of the Oregon Free Press."

Condemnation of a site for the new
