OFFICERS OF RESERVE CORPS
FROM THIS CITY WERE
GUESTS OF HONOR
The men who have been called
from Oregon City to the officers' re
serve corps training camp at San
Francisco were guests of honor Tues
day at the regular luncheon and meet
ing of the Live Wires of the Commer
cial club. Dr. Frank Mount, a mem
ber of the merical reserve, was in
cluded as he is expecting a call to
the service within a few days. The
entertainment of the guests and the
election of officers was the business
before the organization Tuesday. -
To suceed Christian Schuebel, the
Wires elected John W. Loder as Main
Trunk. Mr. Loder is a charter mem
ber of the organization and has miss
ed very few meetings. This record
was mentioned in his nomination. G.
A. Harding, prominent pioneer and
veteran of the Civil war, was elected
sub-Trunk; A. A. Price, Guy Wire,
and G. Fred Johnson, secretary of the
Commercial club's publicity commit
tee, Transmission Wire. Other offi
cers are appointed by the Main Trunk.
As a feature of the report of a
committee appointed to have charge
of the Y. M. C. A. campaign in this
county, Sergeant Olson, who is sta
tioned here with a guard detail, spoke
of the work of the association at the
Mexican border last summer and ex
pressed the belief . that the moral
character of the Oregon regiment as
a whole was largely due to the ef
forts of those -in charge of the Y. M.
C. A.
The Live Wires for the second time
in a few weeks passed a resolution
endorsing Ben S. Patton for reap
pointment as deputy game warden
for this county. Some time ago the
Wires voted to ask the fish and game
commission to reappoint Mr. Patton,
but the resolution did not reach that
body.
In connection with the entertain
ment of the men who are leaving for
the training camp, C. Schuebel made
a splendid patriotic address and point
ed out the citizen's duty toward the
men who leave home for any branch
of service. It was Mr. Schuebel's last
talk as Main Trunk and he made up
for a lot of lost time. 0. D. Eby,
president of the .Commercial club,
was another speaker.
Honored guests at the meeting
Tuesday were Dr. Frank Mount, med
ical reserve, and Cecil W. Koffman,
H. E. Williams and Earl C. Brownlee.
CLUB OFFER OFF
Postoffice Ruling Makes it Necessary
to Recall Bargain
Of course, the Courier regrets
that all who wished to take advantage
of the fine combination offer it has
been making on subscriptions recent
ly failed to realize upon the oppor
tunity, but at the same time we are
glad that a multitude of Courier
readers subscribed for this paper and
the four standard magazines we have
been offering:
All of which is occasioned by the
sad fact that it is now too late to get
the four magazines in connection with
the Courier. This week our agents
advised us that it is impossible to sell
the combination at the old price.
They Bay that this action is made ne
cessary by a recent ruling of the
postoffice department to the effect
that second class mail must receive at
least 60 per cent of their regular
subscription price for each subscrip
tion. This new ruling, the agency
tells us, temporarily knocks out all
clubbing offers, and will do so until
such time as the postal officials can
see the folly of their ways.

UP CLACKAMAS RESORT IN
WILD STAMPEDE
OFFICERS FIND BOOZE GALORE
Machine Load of Booze, a Still and
Two Slot Machines Taken
From Place '
In the wake of a "high lonesome,"
August Erickson, proprietor of the
Clackamas Tavern three miles east
of Oregon City, ran wild for a few
hours Tuesday evening, during which
time he staged a reg'lar European
barrage, shot up his place with 30-30
bullets, drove his wife from the house
and was in complete command of the
fort when officers arrested him about
midnight. Erickson, who was for
many years a saloon keeper in Port
land, is now in the county jail, sober
ing up and incidentally awaiting to
answer several charges which District
Attorney Hedges will file against him
today.
From Mrs. Erickson's story of the
wild escapade, her escape was mirac
ulous. Her husband became intoxi
cated early Tuesday night and was
abusing her downstairs when A. Sau
vie, who rooms at the tavern and
farms an adjoining piece of land,
asked from his room upstairs what
the trouble was. This maddened
Erickson,1 who ran upstairs with a big
cleaver, and proceeded to chop down
the door of Sauvie's room. The lat
ter made his escape out through a
window onto the roof and thence
jumped to the ground. Crazed at
Sauvie s escape, according to the
story told the officials, Erickson went
back down stairs and got his 30-30
rifle. As his wife appeared he fired
point blank at her from the stair
way, followed her up stairs and fired
three more shots, breaking two win
dows. She escaped by climbing out
on a fire escape and running bare
footed into an adjoining grove near
the tavern.
Sheriff Wilson was called and he
and Deputy Frost rushed to the tav
ern immediately. Erickson made a
dash for his gun on seeing the offi
cers, but dropped his rifle when- Sher
iff Wilson told him in no uncertain
terms that he would get into real ser
ious trouble if he didn't drop it quick
ly. While roaming about the place the
officers discovered three partly filled
whisky bottles in a small cupboard off
the kitchen. Erickson claimed this
liquor was some he manufactured
himself for his own use, and that he
had no other intoxicants on the place.
The explanation was not entirely sat
isfactory, however, so Deputy Frost
was left in charge of the tavern until
Wednesday morning, when a search
warrant was issued.
In a cleverly concealed cache the
officials found some sixty bottles of
assorted whiskeys, mostly high grade
liquors. The stuff was found in a
concrete tub, about 3x5x6 beneath a
trap door, which lay under a door
leading into an adjoining room. In
addition they located a complete booze
manufacturing outfit and also a
"beer" plant which has been operat
ed by Erickson, with some of the
"snake-bite ' in bottles and barrels.
Just what charges will be brought
against Erickson has not been made
known, but intimations from the dis
trict attorney's office are that they
will range from prohibition violation
to .assault with a deadly weapon.
Three guns were taken from the
place.
Two slot machines, in working
order, and each with an abundant sup
ply of nickels, were also taken by the
officers. These were in the main par
lor and admissions were made that
they were used by the guests. In all
probability Erickson will face a
charge for keeping these machines.
Two federal liquor licenses were also
found in the house.
Body Sent East
The remains of Mrs. F. L. Martin,
who died here on Monday last, were
sent to Minneapolis, Minn., on Sat
urday for burial beside relatives.
Funeral services were held here at
the Holman parlors by the Rev. J. R.
Landsborough. A son, A. L. Martin,
of Long Beach, Cal., accompanied the
body to Minneapolis.
I. O. O. F. Makes Plans
Local members of the I. O. O. F.
will take advantage of a special train
passing through this city on May 21
for Eugene, where the convention of
the order is to be held. A number of
Oddfellows in this county will attend
during the session from May 22 to 26,
and will go to Eugene on the special.
Commemorate "Mother's Day"
The Union Pacific system will com
memorate "Mother's Day" this year,
May 13th. The observance of this

SATURDAY IS TO BE
FARM DEFENSE DAY
ALL AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZA
TIONS ASKED TO CALL SPE
CIAL SESSION SATURDAY
On Saturday, May 12, afternoon
or evening, all Granges, Farmers'
unions and other agricultural organi
zations are asked to open their halls
for public meetings to consider the
preparedness plans of the govern
ment. This day is to be known all
over the state as Agricultural De
fense day. Any organization not
having called a meeting should do
so at; once. Communities having no
organization should get together at
the school house or other meeting
place. City and country alike should
interest themselves in these meet
ings. Conditions are more serious
than is generally realized and the
entire resources of the nation should
be rallied to her defense.
Every person who wishes to co
operate with the government in meet
ing the very serious conditions that
now confront our nation in regard to
its food supply and crop conditions
should attend one of these meetings.
The government has a special
message for every farmer and also
wishes to secure from each one infor
mation as to his individual needs re
garding seeds, labor, crops, machin
ery, etc. We should decognize it as
patriotic duty to cooperate with the
government in every way possible.
We must produce a maximum crop
this year.
A service office to assist will be es
tablished in Oregon Gity in charge of
E. B. Fitts, assisted by T. D. Case,
who represent the state and national
departments of agriculture. Let
these men know your needs for they
will be in a position to help you in
many ways. They will be in touch
with conditions all over the country
and state and federal government as
sistance will come to the farmer
through their office.
If no provision has been made for
a local leader to take charge of your
meetings on May 12, get into touch
with Mr. Fitts or, better still, call
on him in Oregon City.

BUILDING WILL START
Gladstone Sure to Have New Pavilion
for Annual Assembly
Everything is in readiness for the
commencement of construction on the
new Gladstone park chautauqua audi
torium and the building committee of
the Chautauqua association will di
rect its plans so that there will cer
tainly be a new building for the an
nual assembly at the park this year.
The contractors have set out their
stakes and grading will be started
at once. A cut of considerable pro
portions will have to be made at the
north end of the new site and then
there will be sufficient natural slope
to the dirt floor to make it possible
to see the stage from any part of the
pavilion.
The site upon which the building
will be placed is about 100 feet north
of the present building, which has
been' in use for Chautauqua purposes
for 23 years. The new site is admir
able for the purpose, the building
committee believes, because of the
contour of the land. It will be neces
sary to remove some of the fine old
trees about the park, but enough will
be left nearby to make the spot beau
tiful.
NO BOOSTER DAY THIS YEAR
Vote Taken by Fred Johnson Shows
Majority Against Annual Event
By a Vote of 46 to 37 the business
men of Oregon City Wednesday de
cided to abandon the Booster Day for
this year. The action was not a sur
prise as there has been a great deal
of discussion as to the advisability
of discontinuing the event on account
of the war. Wednesday Fred John
son of the publicity department of
the Commercial club stuck a ballot
box under his arm and made a house
to house canvass among the publici
ty fund contributors and the result
was as shown above. The action
does not mean that the annual event
will be discontinued for good, but on
ly for this year.

OFFICERS
MEMBERS PLAN MUCH WORK
Classes Will Meet in Masonic Building
Four Afternoons Each Week
From 2 to 5 p. m.
Dr. Hugh S. Mount, well known
physician of this city, will head the
local chapter of the American Red
Cross, which elected officers at the
Commercial club Wednesday evening.
Other officers chosen were: , First
vice-president, A. R. Jacobs; second
vice-president, Mrs. L. E. Jones; sec
retary, Theodore Osmund; treasurer,
E. G. Caufield; directors, Mrs. W. A.
Dimick, Mrs. J. N. Wisner, James

military relief committee was select
ed as follows: Mrs. L. E. Jones, Mrs.
J. N. Wisner, Mrs. James Cary, Mrs.
Theodore Osmund and Mrs. H. B.
Dixon of Gladstone.
Dr. Mount was the unanimous
choice of the meeting, although he
informed the members present that
he expected to enter the actual army
service at once in the medical de
partment. A committee of four
members consisting of Mrs. J. N. Wis
ner, Mrs. Theodore Osmund, Mrs.
James Cary and Mrs. Linn Jones,
which has been taking a special
course in lectures and demonstration
work under the direction of Miss Fu

been lecturing in Portland recently,
will have charge of vhe organization
of classes for instruction in surgical
dressing ' and bandaging. These
classes will meet in the Masonic
building from 2 to 5 o'clock on Mon
days, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fri
days of each week. Mrs. V. Harris
has been appointed instructor of the
knitting department... - ;
GIRLS CHANGE HOURS
Potato Planting Plans Seem to Hare
Fallen by the Wayside
The Girls' Honor Guard has an
nounced a change in its meeting night
from Thursday to Tuesday, and the
oeganization will meet at the Mason
ic hall instead of the Commercial club
as heretofore. The usual drill will be
held. The guard is planning for a
dance in the near future and this and
other matters are expected to call out
a maximum attendance at meetings in
the near foture.
According to the reports of com
mittees in charge of the agricultural
activities of the guard, the potato
planting work planned is probably
doomed to failure because the girls
cannot get land for their crops. Sev
eral pieces of property have been of
fered for such use, but in each case
it is either untillable or so far away
that cultivation by the girls in their
spare time is impossible. Recently
the grls secured and prepared a large
number of seed potatoes, but have
had no opportunity for putting them
in the ground.
BREAD GOES UP
Bakers Announce Raise in Price to
Keep up With Their Costs
Effective Monday, the price of
bread has soared in Oregon City in
keeping with the flight of prices in
the larger centers. The 6-cent loaf
will be discontinued entirely and in
its place a 10-cent loaf will be sold.
A wrapped loaf, slightly smaller than
the unwrapped loaf, will be sold for
10 cents and the large size 16-cent
loaf is an innovation on the local
market. The large loaf will be
wrapped.
The bakers point out that, where
as flour was formerly $4.50 a barrel,
it is now $13.50, and sugar has ad
vanced from $4 to $8.50, the 6-cent
loaf had to be cut in size until it
cannot be called a loaf any more, and
it cannot be made smaller without
injuring the quality. Special efforts
will be made to promote the sale of
the new 15-cent loaves.
GRANGE PLANS CAMPAIGN
Farmers From All Over County Take
Part in Food Preparedness Work
Grange and other agricultural or
ganizations of the county sent rep
resentatives to Oregon City today to
meet with E. B. Fitts of the Oregon
Agricultural college, who has been
chosen to direct the food prepared
ness campaign for this and Washing
ton county. A large crowd met at
tne commercial mud rooms at one
o'clock, where the plans were detailed
for increasing the food production of
the county.
The publicity department of the
Commercial club has offered to co
operate with the plan in any way
possible and will assist in maintain
ing an office here during the summer
months for those who have charge of
the campaign.
GUARDS TAKE KROKER
AND SAY HE IS SPY
GERMAN WITH ILLEGAL INFOR
MATION TURNED OVER TO
FEDERAL OFFICIALS
The suspicious actions of Edward
Kroker, alleged German reservist,
caused Corporal Thomson of company
D to arrest the man Friday at Esta
cada. Upon searching the man the
soldiers found what they supposed to
be binding proof of his guilt and im
mediately summoned Sheriff Wilson.
Thursday night Kroker was brought
to this city - and District Attorney
Hedges made very short work of
turning him over to federal author
ities at Portland.
That Kroker has been doing, spy
duty for the German government
seems certain to officials here. Upon
the man were found a pass into Mex
ico and some South American cur
rency. Officers believe he has recent
ly been in Mexico and South Ameri
ca. Kroker also" had a notebook in
which he had listed the names of most
of the important army posts in the
United States and he did not attempt
to explain the matter Thursday.
When Kroker was questioned Fri
day by Captain Harry Hulse, of com
pany D, summoned from Portland,
and Corporal Thomson, his captor, he
said he was in the Estacada country
for a fishing trip. The corporal,
however, testifies that fishing was not
occupying much of the man's atten
tion. Kroker told the officers that
he had taken out his first papers at
Newark, N. J., and, of course, denied
any intimation that he was a spy.
The theory that Kroker is demented
is laughed at by officers, and in their
certainty that he is very sane and has
much improper knowledge, they have
been careful to see that federal au
thorities have all the details of the
case.
NATION WILL BE AID
TO FARMS IN STATE
BOYS MORE USEFUL ON FARMS
NOT TO BE DRAFTED, PRES.
KERR IS ADVISED
President W. J. Kerr of the Oregon
Agricultural college, after a two-day
conference with government officials,
left Washington for home Monday
bearing assurance that not less than
$60,000 of federal funds would be al
lotted to Oregon for the employment
of 18 county agents and 23 assistants
to cooperate with agents already in
the field lending aid to farmers and
striving to increase Oregon's crop
production this year.
This allotment is contingent upon
an appropriation which congress is
expected soon to make. Some of the
best equipped farmers, as well as
graduates of the Oregon Agricultural
college, will be employed, and under
this plan every county in Oregon will
have at least one agent, and the larg
er counties two each.
Professor Kerr, at a joint confer
ence with the secretary of war and
secretary of agriculture, was told
that under the new conscription plan
young men of draft age who are use
ful on farms will not be accepted for
army service, but will be given some
insignia indicative that their work on
the farm is regarded by the govern
ment as every bit as important as
service they might render under
arms. It was shown that 1100 of the
1700 men who entered the Oregon
National guard were from the farms,
a fact the cabinet officers deplored,
but one they may not be able to cor
rect very extensively.
Professor Kerr was told, however,
that National guardsmen who are
farm specialists probably would be
relieved from duty as asked, to re
turn either to act as county agents or
to operate their own farms.
Calling on Secretary Lane, Pro
fessor Kerr urged that the 640-acre
grazing homestead law be suspended
during the war, as it is seriously in
terfering with stock growing and has
caused much complaint among cat
tle and sheep men, whose range is
being cut down."
Senator Lane said he had no au
thority to suspend the law. Congress
alone can do that, he explained.
Professor Kerr, in conference with
the adjutant-general of the army,
promised to keep the students at the
Agricultural college under military
training to the end of the term. He
asked foor additional equipment for
the college, especially machine guns
and three-inch field pieces. Nothing
can be done now along this line, but
assurance was given that the equip
ment would be sent by the opening
of the fall term. .
Desertion is Charged
Desertion is the charge made in a
divorce complaint filed here Thurs
day by M. L. Morris, who seeks sep
aration from Mrs. Ella P. Morris.
The couple was married at Portland
in 1907, and the wife left her husband
in April, 1916, the complaint says,
There are no children and Mr. Mor
ris agrees to an equitable division of
property.

E OF TALKS
AGRICULTURE CAMPAIGN GETS
BIG RECEPTION FROM PU
PILS AND ALL
WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL STOP
Instructors With Train Do Good Work
in Preaching for More Farm
Work
Representatives from the Agricul
tural college were speakers at the
high school Monday morning. The
boys of the upper three high school
grades were addressed in Room 9.
The first year high school pupils and
seventh and eighth grades from the
city schools occupied Room' 10.
Prof. Lamb began his talk by tell
ing about poultry raising in Europe
at the present time. He stated that
there are about 100 breeds of chick
ens, the general purpose chicken be
ing the better for most persons to
raise. He recommended in this con
dition the Plymouth Rock, Rhode Is
land Red and Wyandottes, which,
while good layers, are of sufficient
size to be valuable for table purposes.
He gave instruction in feeding fowls,
stating that green foods are neces
sary and that 30 kale plants furnish
green food for an ordinary flock for
one year.
There should be 2 lots in connection
with poultry raising, one for garden
ing, the other for chickens, alternat
ing these lots every year. The aver
age hen lays about 80 eggs a year,
but should lay more than 100 in or
der to be profitable, as her cost is
approximately $2 per year, he said.
Trap nests are of value in finding out
which hens lay the most eggs. In
addition to green foods, it is neces
sary for the best results to feed some
meat, buttermilg, or sour milk. He
recommended the preservation of
eggs in "water glass" for winter use.
Prof. Brown in his address on gar
dening said one should have: A good
plan; good seed! good fertilizer, and
good care. Space should not be
wasted in planting. Berries and per
manent crops should be planted on the
side of the garden. Crops should be
rotated. The garden for home use
should grow vegetables which cost
the most, but for marketing only sta
ple vegetables. Seed should always
be tested before planting, using care
to select seeds acclimated to Oregon.
He spoke of diseases and suggested
the following solution in which to
soak seed: 4 ounces corrosive subli
mate, 40 gallons water; immerse for
1V6 hours.
Miss Zoa Brown, head of the do
mestic science department of the high
school, introduced to the girls and
visitors present, Miss Turley of the
Agricultural college, who gave a very
instructive talk on food conservation.
As the meat supply for the ensuing
year may be small she urged the sub
stitution of milk, cheese, eggs and
nuts, which have practically the same
food value, for meat. She also point
ed out the many ways of food waste
in the home, and urged each one to
do her share in economizing.
Then Miss ' Helen Cowgill, also
from the Agricultural college, demon
strated the various steps in the cold
pack method of canning.. She also
suggested that the school girls and
Honor Guard girls can enough fruit
and vegetables to furnish the com
munity s needs. In concluding she
announced that the college would
gladly send any information desired
on the food question.
It is the opinion of every member
of the Southern Pacific O. A. C. food
preparedness campaign party that
the day here was one of the most
satisfactory days of the tour. The
audience at the high school in the
forenoon seemed to display an inter,
est far greater than usual.
During the four lectures by Pro
fessor Brown on gardening, by Pro
fessor Lamb on poultry, by Miss Cow
gul on home canning and Miss Tur
ley on domestic science there was
not a person, young or old, in the
room who was not deeply interested.
It may just be possible that the
lecturers, after two hard weeks, had
become a bit stale. When one gives
the same lecture from two to four
tomes a day for two weeks it seems
that stateness would creep in, nine
cases out of ten. -
So perhaps it was a day's rest that
caued the rejuvenation, that made
the sun shine brighter, that brought
audiences and speakers into closer
fellowship. During the afternoon the
meetings in the cars were well at
tended and just as well received as at
the high school in the forenoon.
"There was less use of our coming
here than most places we have visit
ed," said one of the party, "for these
Oregon City people have their school
garden plans well developed, and not
only this city but every community
in the county will do its full share in
the food campaign.
