2 OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1916 NEWS OF THE COUNTY AND SUBURBS Local and County Items of Interest to Courier Readers CHERRYVILLE The golden-hued October! The trees are gorgeous in their brilliant costumes. Everybody from the states farther east say the red and fiery leaves re mind them of old times. One old timer says that in 1890 the dry fall weather lasted until the last of January. Mr. McKechnie of Portland, in tha postal telegraph business, spent th week-end at the Cherryville hotel. These are anxious days for the can didates. A - big load of rhododendrons passed through here Sunday for the Wemme home for wayward girls at Portland. More than $300,000 was provided for the home by Mr. Wem me, the road builder, and it will be a permanent institution under the care of the Christian Science church of Portland. Instead of building costly church edifices or libraries and colleges in endless profusion, why not establish homes for the un fortunate or create industries where the laboring class can make a decent living. When will men quit building palaces for ghosts while little chil dren live in hovels? S. C. Runyan returned home from eastern Oregon last week, where he has been employed through the har vest season. He says he saw some places or locations that had Cherry ville beat, but he saw some that were a whole lot worse. Archie Averill returned home last week from Whitefish, Mont., where he had been employed in a round house for the railroad. He says in travel ling through Montana, Idaho, Wash ington and Oregon he found the labor ing class and the farmers largely for Wilson, while the bankers, lawyers and business men are largely for Hughes. It is a battle between the classes and the masses. The golden dames on the "Golden Special" got "heckled" in great shape in Portland last Saturday and Dr. Marie Equi, for Wilson, "bawled" them all out. It cost a round mil lion dollars to send this train across the continent and the money would have been better expended in provid ing food and clothing for the wretch ed poor in New York city, where these golden dames hail from. It is a safe bet that they made no votes at any stage of their trip. In fact, many people were so completely disgusted with this lavish display of wealth to bolster up a discredited candidate that they changed their votes. Samuel G. Blythe, the well-known political writer, in an article in a late issue of the Saturday Evening Post says that the outcome of this politi cal campaign is an unguessed prob lem and says anything may happen between now and the seventh of No vember. He says he was present in Frisco when Hughes spoke and it surely was a "frost," the worst he ever witnessed. He believes that it would have been much better if they had kept Hughes at home, as he has not made a hit with the people gener ally. The labor vote will decide the contest and that numbers 2,000,000 voters, all nailed down for Wilson So says the Chicago Tribune, a stand pat organ. floor, which was occupied as a resi dence by Mr. and Mrs, Geo. Everhart. The Fountain hose company came on double quick and helped squelch the flames. A poor pressure of water handicapped the fire boys considera bly. The upper part of the building is a wreck, but the lower part can be used again as a store. Messrs. Ever hart and Hall expect to be in business again soon. Some one without prin ciple or honor carried away silver ware that was a wedding present to Mr. and Mrs. Everhart. Too many children were allowed near the place and if some of them picked up the goods, we believe the parents will see that they are returned. Mrs. Will Clark is visiting near Dallas. H.

E. Cross and Rev. W. T. Milli kon were the speakers at the Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. They gave many convincing reasons why voters should suport the prohibition amendment and mark a big cross on the negative side of the brewers' prop osition, characterizing it as a meas ure that would leave the state wide open in a worse condition than with the licensed saloon. The true signift cancc ot tnc innocent little comma was explained and it was sliown that the amount of money spent to carry the measure is entirely out of propor tion with the profit that could come from supplying the present consump tion of beer. Mr. Cross read a state ment by Mr. Blethen, editor of the Seattle Times, in which he acknow ledged that the results of prohibition were all to the good instead of the bad as he had strenuously argued and predicted before Washington went dry. Mr. Milliken told of the report of a scientific commission appointed by the emperor of Germany just before the breaking out of the European war, which gave beer as the cause of many evil conditions in the empire and es pecially in Bavaria. The scientists were unable at first to reconcile the had results of beer drinking with the seemingly innocent four per cent of alcohol, but they found that the hop belongs to a family of four plants, of which hemp is one, and that they con tain a poisonous principle which is responsible for most of the beer SOUTH HIGHLAND Mr. and Mrs. John Schram were Oregon City visitors Saturday.
