ROAD BOND VOTE JUNE 4 SET FOR (Continued from page 1) for these bonds to make good roads possible. They will help the farmers more than anybody else." He pointed out that the bond issue is not to come out of the pockets of the taxpayers, but that the doubling of the automobile license taxwill pay off the interest and principal in 25 years, a capitalization of waste tires and gasoline under present bad-road conditions. Senator La Follett expressed the opinion that "the farmers are scared of bonds" and that the measure will be voted down by them. He said his farmer constituents in Marion don't ' want bonds. In addition to road bonds the .voters will be confronted with a ballot ask ing an expression upon the following highly important measures which were referred by the legislature: Direct expenditure of $100,000 a year for four years to build a new penitentiary at Salem. To raise pay of legislators from $3 a day to $6 a day, extend legis lative session to 50 days and limit number of bills that can be intro duced by each member and each com mittee.

Mr. Templeton holds that the ac tion of confirming Mr. Schuebel could not come under the head of "other Misery in Back, Headache and Pain in Limbs. Selected Eggs from Selected Hatch Winter Layers "What do you think of the birds in this pen," said a very successful side-line poultryman when showing the visitor his back-yard poultry business. "I have selected these from which to select the eggs for hatching my next-winter layers.' "They look good," was the answer, "but why these individuals for that honor." 'I marked some of them as the earliest layers caught them in the act last fall, others lay the exact type of egg that suits me, and they all have the appearance of god layers are strong, dean and always busy they mostly sing a good deal, too, "But what about selecting the eggs from a bunch of hens? Aren't the eggs all alike?" "By no means.

A.

I am after a type with a beautiful pearl pink shell, and am throwing out all speckled shell. Perhaps this is only my lad, but without a fad a back-yard poultry farm is apt to be a failure. I "And say," he concluded, "if can't get the hatching all done by the nrst ol April 1 shall think I have but little chance of getting winter layers." Dimickogue vs. Demagogue Again comes C. C.

Reward Offered mat josepn v. stracK was mur dered and did not commit suicide, as a coroner's jury found, is the posi tive statement of W. F. Strack brother of the man found dead in his cabin two miles northeast of Sandy on December 17. Believing sincerely that his brother was the victim of a gun in the hands of an enemy, W. F. btrack has offered a reward for in formation leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminal. Joseph V. Strack, supposedly crazed from consuming a quart of al cohol on each of three days before the night of his death, was found dead m his bunk late at night, December 17. Coroner W. E. Hempstead in vestigated the case early the next day and a coroner's jury returned a ver dict of death by self-inflicted gun shot wound. The dead man was 31 years old and his brother, on whose farm near Sandy he lived in his little cabin, was his nearest relative. There was a suspicion that he had left a wife and child in Canada, but this has not been verified. , Following a Sunday automobile trip with Ed Gish of Sandy, Strack and Gish were driving home when their machine became fast in the mud. The car was abandoned and the two walked to their respective habitations About 9 o'clock that evening Strack's relatives heard a gunshot in the cabin where he was living. Investigators found him dead, a 30-30 bullet hole through his heart. The bullet had been fired from directly above the man and had passed straight through his body, through the bed and had buried itself in the floor almost di rectly beneath the spot where it had entered the body. Sheritf Wilson, Coroner Hempstead and Deputy District Attorney T. C, Burke went to Gresham later to view the remains. While there they went over every possible theory of the shooting and proved to their own sat isfaction that the bullet could not be fired by any other than Strack him self. The bunk upon which he was laying when the shot was fired is high from the floor. To shoot straight through the man a murderer should have had to climb up on the bunk and point the gun directly downward. There was not the slightest evidence of a struggle and incoherent notes left supposedly by Strack indicated that suicide had been premeditated. Even the peculiar position in which the gun was laying when found was proved to be exactly the position in which it would fall if Strack had held it himself to fire the fatal shot. As a result of their investigations local officers are not much inclined to take stock in the brother's opinion that Strack was murdered with his own gun. The brother, in fact, lent color to the suicide decision when the coroner investigated the case. The reward offered by W. F. Strack from his personal funds. Belated Fortune , Finds Beneficiary Dead. There May be Heirs Giddy Fortune's furious, fickle wheel, as Shakespeare said, is ever racing upon its well-oiled axis in this life we live. Fortune's wheel turned for William T. Matlock and suddenly it stopped, that the fruits of its mad whirl might be bestowed upon him who had lived long and worthily. But Giddy Fortune found Mr. Mat lock dead and with a sigh of regret has gone in search of those who may be the beneficiaries of the belated gains. Mr. Matlock was a prominent citi zen in Clackamas county a generation ago. He was the owner of the W T. Matlock donation land claim upon which the town of Clackama3 was lo cated and founded by him. He was at one time, about 1850, receiver of public money in the United States land office in this city, and he was a figure in the civic life of the com munity. He has been dead some 30 yeas and is buried in the Clackamas cemetery. On Saturday Sheriff W. J. Wilson received from C. B. Wadleigh, an at torney in Washington, D. C, a letter which indicates that monetary for tune has come to Mr.. Matlock. The attorney does not know that the mon ey he has in keeping is for a man long dead, but the heirs of the Matlock es tate may profit from it. The letter says: "I know of considerable money due William T. Matlock, who was a resi dent of your city in 1851, when ap pointed receiver of public money there. I shall be obliged for any in formation you may be able to give me as to his present address or that of some relative." Mayor E. C. Hackett, who is also chief deputy sheriff, has sent all available information to the attorney. "l knew Mr. Matlock when I was a lad,' Mayor Hackett said. "He was prominent here for his work in the land office and for his other activities. I believe he has been dead about 30 years."

Big Negro Has no Pep and Should Get the Glory When Corporal Jack McDonald, a husky soldier lad from Vancouver barracks, stepped into the path of both furious fists of Martin Schultze of Oregon City, Corporal Jack Mc Donald found himself in a huddled heap in tho center of the arena at the Falls City Athletic club smoker last Thursday night. He woke up several minutes later, after being carried out of the ring by his seconds, to tell the dressing room contingent that he had not taken such punishment in years as Schultze gave him with those two healthy wallops. Schultze's rieht and left trip hammers met up with the McDonald carcass in the fourth round of their six round bout. Any honor in the six round go be tween Leo Cross of Portland and Pinky Lewis, the burly negro who appeared against Ben Bordsen here some time ago, must go to Cross, al though he was the toy of the big ne gro and was outweighed 15 pounds. Cross did all the fighting and made a sincere effort to whip the negro. Cross delivered some heavy hlows and Lewis smiled as he received them. The feature or a splendid card was the mill between Freddie Lough of Portland and Carl Martin of Ore gon City. Lough fought clean and hard, Martin getting a shade of the glory in four rounds out of the six. The crowd demanded that Lough have the decision and he got it. Joe Far rell of Oregon City knocked out Tom Sheldon of Portland in the second round. Jimmy Moscow and Ping uodie put up an exhibition fiirht which chiefly displayed Moscow's ability to retrain trom injuring the Bodie bov. They got a draw because they didn't ngnt lor anything better. Buck Smith and Frankie Warren foueht a draw. Wednesday is Record Dfcy for Collect or. Delinquencies Paid Wednesday's tax collections estab lished a record for the year, accord ing to Deputy Sheriff I. D. Taylor. in charge of the. tax collecting work of the county. During the past week a large extra force has been employed in the tax office and payments have been coming in rapidly. On Wednes day more than $2000 in assessments on the 1916 roll were receipted. The total collections on the 1916 roll have been approximately $6820 up to Wed nesday, in addition to what was col lected on that day. The tax books were opened on February 15 and since that time almost $2000 have been naid on rolls for other years, now delin quent. These payments include the delinquent premiums and interest. Ihe total of the delinquent taxes Wife Gets Six Youngsters and the Family Bossy After 15 Years Six children, the family cow and a lot of abuse is whut Mrs. Emma Coch ran got for living with Clark W. Cochran for nearly 15 years. The couple was divorced by order of Judge Campbell on Saturday. The decree awards her the custody of three boys and three girls, the family cow and $25 for the support of the children. Mrs. Cochran's complaint accused her husband of a long period of abus ive treatment since their wedding in Idaho on June 16, 1902, and she charges that her husband at one time threatened to poison her. She is the same woman who late last fall left a note on the street in Portland tell ing the finder that her body would be found floating in the Willamette riv er after noon on the day the note was dated. Immediately upon being ad vised of the finding of the note Sher iff Wilson investigated the case. He found the Cochran family home at Wichita station a scene of great tur moil and considerable filth. Mrs. Cochran and her husband both pre sented gruesome stories in which all blame was cast upon the other. 8 SCHNEIDER IN AGAIN Prof. Bowland's Youth Escaped from Him. May be Jailed Ewald Schn.eider, 17-year-old boy burglar who was recently released from the county jail, after spending two months there, when Prof. N. L. Bowland took him in charge, landed in jail here again last night. The boy was loitering around the South ern Pacific depot at a late hour and when questioned by Lee French, night patrolman, he said he was going to California on the next freight. The next freight passed through and Schneider remained in the depot. Fearing that he might submit to his criminal ambitions again Mr. French put the boy behind the bars for the night. barly in the week Prof. Bowland secured employment for Schneider on a Beaver Creek farm and gave him money to get there with. The boy did not appear at the farm, nor did he return to the Bowland home. Lat er he was located at Clackamas with relatives, but disappeared again until he came into Oregon City last nieht, Schneider once escaped from the state reform school, where he was sent from this county, and broke out of jail in Idaho some time before he was arrested here for robbing the Reddaway grocery.

DIMICK APOLOGETIC Modifies Hasty Remarks MnH.. ,,l Height of Fight Senator Dimick of Clackamas county last Thursday morning took occasion to clarify the atmosphere regarding statements he made in a pan which was blown to the ground verbal tilt with Senator Olsnn nn tho several months ago has been replaced, senate floor at Salem, in which he in and wires have been used in an ef- sinuated that the latter was a repre fort to make further repairs to the sentative of the Warren Construction Wheat Speculation Stopped. Scare ity of Hogs in Northwest A review of the business conditions of the state is reflected from the statement emanating from Portland as published in the February number of Dun's Review, a journal of finance and trade. The statement says: Trade in retail and jobbing lines has been of satisfactory volume in the past fortnight, but with the new international developments a spirit of conservatism prevails. The ship building industry, of growing import ance here, promses to flourish, despite foreign complications. The favor able trend of business at the start of the year is indicated by the Portland bank clearings of January, . which were $661,975,187, an increase uf $18,714,149 over the same month last year and $12,703,945 greater than the previous high mark for January, 1913. Wheat speculation has ceased with the unsettlement of values in all American markets, and with prices 27c, a bushel below the top quotations of months ago, farmers have with drawn from the market and indicate they will carry the small remainder of the crop into the new season. Deal ers are making an effort to despatch shipments of wheat previously sold, but the rail movement is still slow. Shipments of wheat by water in Jan uary were 430,061 bushels, including two cargoes for Europe on British admiralty steamers, as against 452,- 80 bushels in the same month last year, and for the season to date, 1,- 1,042 bushels, compared with 7. 514,626 bushels in the same period last .season. Flour shipments by water last month were 41.609 bar rels, compared with 58,973 barrels in January, 1916, and for the season to date 331,293 barrels as against 548,- bl8 barrels last season. Exports of lumber in January were 6,161,391 feet, the largest for any month since October, 1915, but domestic shipments of 4,325,000 feet were much below the average. Scarcity of hogs in the northwest was shown by the decrease of 14,106 nead in local receipts. There was a small gain in the cattle run, but sheep receipts were mucn lighter than a year ago. All lines are selling at the local yards at the highest prices ever Known here. Rissberger was rushed to the Oregon City hospital, whore it is said he is not in danger.

Bosoms Shine In tho March Woman's Home Com panion Mary Heaton Vorse has a story about a great violinist, who says that American women are "inhuman." Do you know what to me is the most terrible sight in all New York?" he asks. 'Worse than the pitiable procession of little girls un Broad way? It is the women in the foyer of the opera. When I look at them it is with pity and with dismay, and finally with terror. How can there be so many women, I ask myself, wno look so inhuman? Oh. the SDlen- dor of their perfection, how terrible it is. One after another, I see them: early middle-age and middle-aire. calm and magnificent, their too-abundant flesh carefully corseted, their arms and bosoms shining, every de tail of them speaking how much they live in the realm of the body, and how much thought and time it has taken to give them that social aspect of perfection. One knows how they live, how sheltered are they from every uncomfortable physical sensa tion. They shrink from discomfort more shudderingly than a braver race shrinks from pain.'

Threats May Have Been Made Very Thin Air Adjutant General White will as sume active charge of the office of the adjutant general within the next few days, it was announced yesterday by Governor Withycombe. White was given a leave of absence when the national guard was called to the border so that he might serve as captain of troop A, and Major Wilson was appointed acting adju tant general., Since he never relin quished the office the reappointment was not necessary, said the governor. Major Wilson will continue with White for a few days and then will retire, according to the governor. Several weeks ago it was whis pered in reliable quarters that, as soon as White- returned and assumed office, legal proceedings to test his qualifications would be instituted, it being contended that he never had been a field officer when appointed and was therefore not ineligible to the office of adjutant general. Whether such proceedings will materialize is not known here. During the session the military code was passed revisine the national guard law, but it. left the qualifications of the adjutant gen eral the same as they were in the old law. Lad Sent to Salem Robert McKinnis, the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William McKin nis, was committed to the state re form school yesterday by County Judge Anderson. Juvenile Officer Frost found the boy washing dishes in a local rooming house for his board. He had been repeatedly re ported absent from school. When questioned the lad said he would like to go to Salem where he could get food and clothing without washing dishes all day. The mother readily consented to the commitment. Frost at Hood River Juvenile Officer D. E. Frost went to Hood River this morning to bring back Allan Long, who is held by au thorities there on a charge of rob bing an Oak Grove confectionery store. The robbery occurred about ten days ago and three boys held re sponsible for it immediately disap peared.
