ONE MORE DEBATE
Championship Squad to be Selected
in Near Future
"Resolved, That congress should
have absolute control over marriage
and divorce laws," was the subject of
next to the last squad debate of the
series that has been conducted this
spring among the students at the
Oregon City high school. The last
debate of the series will be held dur
ing commencement week and will de
termine the .championship team of
the several that have taken part in
the debates this year.
In the debate held Friday afternoon
Audrey Tuor, Charles Wallace and
Lulu Miller upheld the affirmative and
the negative was supported by Clay
Miller, Harry Lansborough and Louis
Kay. Judges were the Rev. J. R.
Landsborough, Mrs. II. B. Cartilage
and C. H. Miner.
Six pupils will participate in the
final debate and the winning team
will receive honor as the best trio of
debaters in the local high school.
Those who will take part in the last
argument are Louis Kay, Audrey
Tuor, Marvel Ely, Eltruda Stubbs,
Margaret Clark and Leonard Thomp
son. Joyriders Arrested
Charges of disorderly conduct
caused the arrest early this week of
a party of five joyriders from Port
land who engaged in a free-for-all
drunken brawl on the highway near
Gladstone. The party was going
north toward Portland and words be
tween one of the couples started the
fight that resulted in the arrest of
the quintet on the following clay.
They were released under $100 cash
bail after the case was heard by Jus
tice Sievers. Sheriff Wilson, Deputy
Frost and a Multnomah county deputy
sheriff arrested "the party in Portland.
The party included J. Matson, C. E.
Montgomery, H. Fedderson and Mrs.
Fedderson and Viola Von Ladergcs.
School Bonds Sold
The $20,000 issue of school bonds
for the Milwaukie scfiool district were
purchased this week" byi a Portland
firm, which paid a premium of $211.
Plans for the erection of an eight
room school house are being hurried
and it is hoped to get actual con
struction work on the building start
ed at once so that the building will be
ready for service next fall. The new
Milwaukie high school will have its
first graduation exercises next week
and the high school's annual will be
issued about the same time.

FARMERS GROW BEETS
Test Plots to be Planted and Factory
May Start
An association of farmers in "the
Molalla neighborhood has been form
ed to promote interest in the sugar
beet industry and to bring about the
planting of enough beets this year to
assure the erection of a factory near
the city for the manufacture of sugar.
The farmers generally are taking con
siderable interest in the suggestion' of
sugar beet interests that a plant may
be erected there and it is possible that
the new association will accomplish a
result that will be both a benefit to
the growers and to the manufactur
ers. It is desired to secure at least
2,500 acres in beets the first year.
.Officers of the Molalla association
are L. W. Robbins, president; I. M.
Toliver, secretary-treasurer; S. A.
Knapp, Tom Worth and Dr.. E. R.
Todd, directors. Behind the board
and officers are the farmers 'of the
community and all are working to
ward the establishment of the sugar
beet (factory. Test plolis will jbe)
planted to beets to determine the
sugar .content of beets grown about
Molalla and acreage will be pledged
if the results of the tests are satis
factory. Within ten miles of Molalla there
will be pledged 5,000 acres and then
the company back of the manufactur
ing end will start upon the erection
The company has agreed to co-operate
fully with the farmers in meeting the
labor problem incident to the proper
production of beets. c,

SECRETS OF A
The Famous French 75 and Its
Wonderful Mechanism.
IT HAS TWO HIDDEN DEVICES.
These Are the Fuse Setter and the Re
coil Absorber, and They Make Thii
Monster Weapon a Most Fearful En
gine of Death and Destruction.
What Is a 75? By this Is conversa
tionally understood a French field gun,
the caliber, or interior diameter of the
bore, of wblcu Is seventy-flve millime
ters. Incidentally It Is the finest man
killing machine the world has yet
known.
In 1898 France surprised the armies
of the world by the Introduction of au
artillery weapon which till then had
only existed In the dreams of experts.
Till this period the slowness of artil
lery Are was due to the fuct that after
the gun was laid and Bred the shock
of discbarge so upset the aim that the
gun had to be relaid for a second shot
The rapidity of Are thereupon became
a matter of how quickly and accurate
ly a gun could be laid by the personal
skill of the layer. The French, seek
ing artillery progress and confronted
with the Inexorable shortness of their
conscripts' period of training, Sought to
Improve In mechanism what they could
not Improve In personal skill.
Briefly, the new French field gun of
1808 ceased to be attached to its axle-
tree, but was attached Instead to a
buffer In a cradle, which not only ab
sorbed the shock of recoil, but ran back
the gun so exactly into Its former po
sition that no second laying was neces
sary. . ,
The primary trouble of laying having
been got over, rapidity of fire appeared
to have been attained. Experiments
then proved that, though a rapid rate
of fire was possible, this rate was only
as fast as that at which the gunners
could adjust the fuses of the shells.
How now Improve the rate of fuse
setting? This task was and is a mat
ter of meticulous accuracy, needing
careful training to be done correctly.
Moreover, it could not be hurried, since
a shell badly fused by ever so little
was not only innocuous to the enemy,
but was a danger to one's own side.
Once more the French put aside any
idea of brisking up the personnel and
Invented a machine to sot the fuse.
The details of this fuse setter are still
a secret. Let it suffice that it is sim
ple, accurate and ' very rapid in its
work. Thanks to it and to the steadi
ness of the gun after each discbarge,
the French field gun is easily capable
of twenty-five aimed rounds a minute.
One more word about the recoil ab
sorber and the secret thereof. The
recoil is taken up by a cylinder be
neath the gun, which contains a com
bination of glycerin, compressed air
and springs. It is this combination
and the exact proportions thereof
which fuake the secret of the gun. It
Is not even ascertainable from a cap
tured gun, since if you take a cold
chisel to it and try to examine the
works by opening the buffer the com
pressed nlr escapes, and the secret
which lies In Its density evaporates
with it.
Uuvlng solved the question of the
rate of fire you would have thought
that the French would have been con
tent. Not they! Range and accuracy
were successively taken In hand. Muz
ele velocity,' which, after all, means
rnnge, was Increased not by Increasing
tlie charge and with it the thickness
of the gun that withstood It, but by
lengthening the gun to n hitherto un
heard of extent and giving it a slow
burning propellant.
The temptation to put in a lighter
shell and so got it farther on the same
bang was Successfully resisted. The
designers never lost sight of the fact
that the primary object of the gun
was to deliver death to Its enemies at
the greatest speed, range ond effective
ness possible. So they concentrated
their energies on a man killing shrap
nel which in the end weighed sixteen
pounds and left the gun on its long
Journey at the unprecedented paco of
1,739 foot-seconds.
And there you have the present
shrapnel.
Tactics here began to get mixed up
with mechanics and ballistics. It was
pointed out that troops would not al
ways remain in the open to be whiffed
out of existence by shrapnel Rather
would they get under cover at what
speed they might So a shell to deal
with entrenchments, buildings and for
tifications was iudlcntcd. Here again
careful thought showed the need of
accurate gunnery and a still higher ve
locity In the shell which, being more
local In Us effects, could not be allowed
the same latitude in Its action as Its
Bhrnpuel confrere.
So a high explosive shell weighing
only 11.08 pounds was Introduced.
Thanks to the chemists this time, Its
contents were of such a startling na
ture that Its weight' became a second
ary consideration. It raced away on
its mission at a velocity at that time
uucqtinled even by the latest smnll
bore rifle, and when It exploded Its
melinite charge blew great holes in the
scenery. Pousse Callloux in Black

A Fortune Lost
By EDWARD T. STEWART
"Tom," said my uncle, "I'm going to
leave you all my property. .1 shali not
live a year, that I know, and I wish to
have an understanding with you before
I go. We bear a great deal about the
advantage of a young man sowing his
wild oats before marriage. There's no
art in sowing wild oats at all, and I
wish you to marry young. So impor
tant do I consider this that I have put
a proviso In my will that, in order to in
herit, you must be married before you
are twenty-five years old. On that day
If you are married my estate will be
turned over to you."
"Yes, uncle," was all I said, but it
was not all I felt. I was then twenty
two, which was old enough to under
stand the peculiar position I might be
placed in by my uncle's will. How
ever, there was still at least three
yearsJn which to find a partner, so I
did not worry.
My uncle lived two years after what
he had said to me. It was not known
that I was to be his heir, I alone posr
sessing the secret of the condition.
Naturally if I married I. desired that
my bride should take me for myself
alone. This may have been a romantic
view to take of the matter, but In those
days I was glyen to romance. Since
then 1 have taken on more practical
views of marriage. Indeed, the day I
was wedded I learned this lesson.
I vvas within six months of twenty
five when I met Jennie Tisdale. She
was very feminine, very pretty, and I
said to myself I had found the girl
with whom I may enjoy my uncle's
fortune. A number of young men were
ready to marry her; but, so far as I
knew, she had not yet settled on any of
them. I began to show her marked at
tention, aud she appeared pleased with
It. She dldii't cast off others who were
attentive to her, but gave me the pref
erence In tho matter of making en
gagements.
I had been" brought up with my
cousin, Kate Chambless, and relied
much upon her Judgment. I told her
that I was" considering a proposal and
arranged a meeting between the two
girls with n view to getting Kate's
opinion of Jennie. But Kate wouldn't
give it. She said that in" such matters
it was not wise to interfere. I had
doubtless made up my mind fo marry
Jennie If she would have me, and if
she endeavored to persuade me not to
do so she would surely fail.
This was not encouraging, but true.
At any rate, despite Kate's want of
approval, I proposed to Jennie. She
was some time making up her mind to
accept me, but finally yielded. When
she did so there were four montlis left
before my twenty-fifth birthday. I
was somewhat anxious on account of
this limit of time, for my fiancee seem
ed to find it hard to give up the at
tentions of her other admirers. If she
should fall me I might lose my for
tune. This state of anxiety lasted up to
within a few , weeks of our wedding
day, appointed for a week before I
would receive my fortune. One day,
when I dropped in to see my fiancee,
I found a note from her stating that
one of her bosom friends had been
suddenly taken 111 and was lying at
the point of death. Jennie had gone
to her, but would return at the earliest
possible moment.
This was within ten days of our
wedding day, and I was worried.
Jennie, not knowing how important
was our marriage within a given time,
might remain with her sick friend. If
so it would.be too late. She left no
address for me or I would have writ
ten urging her on no account to remnin
away.
One can imagine my feelings at ex
periencing such au uncertainty. I went
to Jennie's home and asked her moth
er for her address, or that she would
write her;' that I Insisted on her re
turn at once for our wedding. Mrs.
Tisdale seemed to be concealing some
thing from me, but promised to write
her daughter. No further word came
from0 Jennie, and the day before my
twenty-fifth birthday I was without a
bride!
In a fit of desperation I went to my
cousin Kate and told her of the straits
I was In, confessing that If I were not
married before noon tho next day I
would lose my inheritance.
"I would advise you," she said, "not
to rely on your fiancee. For my part, 1
question If she has. not gone off with
Scovllle."
"Scovllle!"
"Yes. His attentions to her since you
have been engaged to her have been
very noticeable."
o "Heavens! What shall I do?"
"Select some good, steady girl of your
acquaintance, tell her of. your inher
itance and the condition attached to it
and ask her to marry you at once."
I stood thinking for a few minutes,
then, turning to my adviser, said:
"Kate, will you marry me?"
"I will, to help you out" -
She said this reproachfully.
"To help mo out only?"
"You surely deserve nothing more, to
have gone off after u flighty little fool
when you could have had"
"One worth a thousoud of her."
Kate and I were married that same
evening. We returned from our wed
ding trip about the same time as Mr.
and Mrs. Scovllle, for Kate was right
about tho real cause of Jennie's ab
sence. The Scovllles quarreled and separat
ed within stx months after marriage.
It was reported that Jennie never for
gave herself or her husband for her
loss of a fortune.

OFFICERS RE-ELECTED
Mt. Pleasant Association Holds Its
Final Meeting
Mrs. E. Frey was re-elected to
serve as president of the Mount Pleas
ant Parent-Teacher's association at
the last meeting of that organization
for this season, held at the school
house last week. After a brief busi
ness meeting the husbands of the
members were entertained and a
luncheon was served. Other officers
re-elected are Mrs. Frank Adcock,
vice-president, and Miss Grace
Snooks, secretary-treasurer.
The Mount Pleasant association
has accomplished a great deal since
its organization last Janury. The
?tanding of the organization at the
present time was shown in the re
port read by Miss Mildred Aiken, re
tiring principal of the school and the
accomplishments of the association
were discussed at the meeting by the
president.
Gypsies Did Not Tarry
Just because a roving band of
gypsies can assume the transporta
tion facilities of those more favored
by civilization, and those confined by
propriety to less strenuous ends in
gaining a livelihood, is no reason that
they must be tolerated in the com
munity. That was the argument of
Acting Police Chief Burk when he,
prepared for the worst, met a band
nf c-vnsies cominET into the city in
up-to-date automobiles on last Friday
afternoon.
The chief offered no interference,
nor assistance, when one of the ma
chines stalled in the street and the
feminine element in the band got out
to give it the aid of well developed
muscle power. The machines carried
California license tags. Chief Burk
ordered them out of town and kept on
the job constantly to see that they
progressed rapidly across the bridge.

7th and
ing, or "opening the silo," as we call
it, I didn't have a shovelfull of waste.
One thing with a stave silo is that
we have a continuous door, which I
consider an advantage as one need
not lift the silage a foot or more in
getting it out.
I am a believer in silos. I do not
expect to do without one as long as
I have cattle to feed. I am no silo
builder and have no material to sell
and it seems to me that the aforemen
tioned lumbering company wants to
get rid of a lot of cheap material
at first grade prices. I wouldn't
give my stave silo for any of their
new fangled concerns that I have
ever seen or heard of.
