STAFFORD
Most of the graves in both ceme
teries at this place were nicely clean,
ed and decorated with a profusion of
flowers. This was the more surpris
ing because everyone had felt rather
dubious about flowers as early spring
flowers had gone out of blossom and
hardly a rose had yet opened. Pure
wnite snowballs, especially, came
bravely to the rescue and a number
of colored flowers followed and every
grave looked beautiful.
Mrs. C. M. Gage' was out from
Portland, bringing a basket of flowers
on Memorial day.
Mrs. Otto Peters, who has been
' very ill for the past week, is re

Mr. Weddle has blasted out the
rock, cleared the land, plowed and put

Alex DeFord, Drinker of Alcohol, in
Jail for Vagrancy
When a man drinks so much that he
will steal a roll of butter and cuddle
it fondly to his manly bosom while he
sleeps through the night, authorities
say that he must be very much drunk.
And that is just how drunk Alex De
Ford was on last Saturday . night.
Alex didn't know how drunk he was,
but from the stories he heard of his
actions, while in jail, he has got a
very good idea. Yes, indeed, Alex
was very drunk. ,
. DeFord imbibed ethyl . alcohol,
which he escorted to a dance at Clack
amas Heights on Saturday evening.
As the fluid content of the bottle reg
istered pretty low he started in the
general direction of home. Likewise
he started to lose what' little think
ing power was left after consuming
the bottle. DeFord picked out one of
the hospitable homes on Clackamas
Heights, commandeered an ax as
weapon ot warfare and pried up a
window. Once inside the home Alex
selected the kitchen for attack, as all
good . soldiers know that the base of
supply is the vital spot of any army
or any camp. Within the pantry a
roll of butter took a strong Jiking for
Alex and with that as the spoils of
conquest he proceeded to the parlor.
Of course, Alex didn't know thathe
went to the parlor, but the district
attorney knew and so did Constable
Frost.
When the master of the hospitable
house got up next morning to let the
cat in and to put the coffee on to boil
he found DeFord soundly sleeping,
with the roll of butter as a bedfel
low. Efforts to arrouse the sleeping
wonder were of no avail, and Con
stable Frost was summoned. The
heavy hand of the law upon the De-
Ford shoulder had prompt results and
the alcoholic gentleman was- marched
away to jail.
DeFord will willingly give to the
manufacturers of ethyl alcohol a tes
timonial as to its effectiveness as a
stimulant. He is certain that a few
drinks of the pure-white fluid will
make most any man pry open a win
dow in a strange house and sleep with
a roll of butter.

Aftermath of Hill . Murders Brought
Into Court Here
Another chapter will be written in
to the annals of the famous Hill mur
der case when the action started by a
complaint filed by attorney's for C. E.
Somers against Nathan B. Harvey on
Wednesday is heard in the circuit
court.
Harvey was suspected of the per
petration of the Hill murders or of
complicity in the crime, but circum
stantial evidence obtained against
him could never be prove'd and at a
justice court hearing the justice of
the peace here refused to bind Harvey
over to tho grand jury.
In the meantime, beginning with
November 1911 and terminating with
the same month in 1914, Harvey em
ployed C. E. Somers as a special in
vestigator in connection with the
Hill murder, trusting to, the findings
of such an investigation to vindicate
ljimself if he were held for the grand
jury, or if his case came to trial.
According to the complaint filed
against Harvey on Wednesday Somers
alleges that he worked three years
for Harvey as an investigator and
was to be paid at the rate of $125 a
month. Although he continued his
work Somers alleges that he did not
receive any part of the stipulated
wage and in the complaint asks for a
judgment of $4500 and interest at the
rate of six per cent, per annum since
November, 1914.
An interesting phase of the pres
ent Action is the fact that Brownell
and Sievers represent Somers. In the
proceedings prior to and at the time
of the justice court hearing Mr. Brow
nell represented Harvey.

Marauders Enter High
Night and Pile Books
Unknown marauders entered the
high school building in Oregon City
on Monday night and turned the im
plements of student torture therein
topsy-turvy. Books were taken from
cases and desks piled on chairs and
tables about the room. The library
was ransacked and the books taken
from the shelves and put into huge
piles on the reading tables.
Miss Busch's desk was taken from
her classroom and on Wednesday
morning was found doing duty in the
boys' shower room in the basement.
Tuesday was a holiday and the raid
on the high school was not discovered
until Wednesday morning. Classes
were delayed and a great deal of in
convenience caused by the escapade.
The teachers have no clew as to the
perpetrators of tho raid, and hardly
think that pupils are guilty because
the end of the school term was so
close that they would have no object
for such actions.

begin the first Friday of October.
Study Food Values
Food provided for the family table de
serves the careful thought of every house
wife. Do you use thought when buying
baking powder?
The quality of cake, biscuits and all
quickly raised flour foods depends largely
upon the kind of baking powder used.
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar derived from grapes. It is
absolutely pure and has proved its excel
lence for making food of finest quality and.
wholesomeness for generations.
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.

Fishermen's Union Volunteers to Aid
Officers in' Ending Rowdyism -
Salvation from the venomous vo
cabularies of some few ardent fisher
men who inhabit the river about Ore
gon City has come at last through
action taken by the Clackamas County
Fishermen's union at its meeting here
on last Thursday evening. The mem
bers of the union brought up com
plaints themselves regarding the un
necessary loud talking and cursing
that is indulged in by a certain ele
ment on the river. ' The union claims
that these infractions do not come
from its members, but from rowdies
who have no connection with 1 the
union.
Union members volunteered to take
officers in their boats at any time and
to assist otherwise, in bringing those
who do not regard their action ser
iously, to justice.

versus Stanley McKay, who sought to
recover $50 of forfeited bail money.
McKay was convicted last fall for
his failure to make room on the high
way for another vehicle, In truth,
the McKay automobile collided with
a buggy in which B. L. Harvey and
Miss Marie Harvey were riding. Both
the occupants of the buggy were in
jured. McKay forfeited bail money
when he did not appear to answer the
charge against him.
lij reviewing the case Judge Camp
bell advised attorneys for the defense
that the proper way to recover bail
money would be through a writ of
review and for that reason he threw
the McKy case out.
