SPEEDERS RECEIVE
STIFF FINE JOLTS
SINCE ADVENT OF MOTORCYCLE
OFFICER MEADES OVER ONE
DOZEN ARE TAKEN
Wholesale arrests of speeders has
followed the appointment of Motor
cycle Officer H. E. Meades, who op
erates between Milwaukie and this
city. Officer Meades took ten joy
riders, reckless drivers and other
species of the automobile speeders in
to custody within the past week.
I. F. Leuenberg was fined $10 and
costs for travelling 38 miles an hour;
R, H. Paulson, G. H. Meyer and J. L.
Mayberry, whose speed varied from
' 33 to 35 miles, drew $10 and $2.50
costs. Several others were repri
manded. B. A. Aron, coffee salesman of
Portland, was fined $10 for speeding
. by Justice Sievers here yesterday, fol
lowing his arrest by Motorcycle Offi
cer Meades.
. H. R. Kilpatrick, of Lebanon, was
taken into custody by Motorcycle Of-
: ficer H. E. Meades Tuesday afternoon
on the road between Parkplace and
this city. Kilpatrick pleaded not
guilty and stood trial. Judge Siev
ers found him guilty and fined him
i $10, which was paid.
Archie Cummings, chauffeur for
Dr. H. S. Mount, was arrested a few
miles from the city limits Saturday
by Officer Meades. He pleaded
guilty and was fined $10 by Justice
Sievers. ,
A difference of a few hours time
saved J. C. Brauchman 'the alterna
tive of paying a $500 fine or serving
a penitentiary sentence ' instead of
only paying $50 for speeding an au
tomobile while ho was intoxicated
Sunday. Brauchman was arrestgd by
Motorcycle Officer H. E. Meades at
four o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Had the arrest been made after
midnight Sunday, Brauchman might
have been given the stiffer sentence
by Justice Ke!so; of Milwaukie, as the
new law which makes it a felony to
speed an automobile while intoxicat
ed went into effect at that time.

BR0WNLEE WRITES
OF PRESIDIO. LIFE
OREGON CITY SONS RECEIVE
"SHOT IN ARM" TO AVOID
TYPHOID
. E. C. Brownlee, former news editor
of the Courier, writes the following
entertaining letter of the life of the
local men at the Presidio:
With 1,600,000 little dead bugs
floating around in the systems of the
250.0 men encamped at the Presidio
in San Francisco as members of the
Officers' Reserve corps and hard work
staring them in the faces for from
10 to 12 hours each day, Oregon City
friends may readily understand that
time and inclination to write to home
folks of the many interesting things
of the big camp are at a minimum.
But the Oregon City boys at the
Presidio are so genuinely appreciative
of the cordiality of their respective
farewell receptions that they insist
upon something. So here goes; ev
erything from bugs to breakfast. The
"Bugs," of course, refers to the ty
phoid germs that U. S. Army regu
lations force every military man to
receive. Within a day or so after
arrival each man was inoculated with
600,000 of the minute germs and en
Sunday most of them received the
second "shot in the arm" containing
an even million germs. After one
week will come the third and final in
occupation and we are told that it will
contain 2,000,000 germs. The effect
of the inoculation is different with
different persons. Among the hardy
sons of old Oregon the only manifes
tation of the germ activity was
through very painful right arms. And
why shouldn't an arm that the army
turns into a grave yard for germs be
painful? Others, however, are con
fined to their beds with mild cases of
typhoid, which is a certain sign that
the inoculation was successful. Each
man was also vaccinated and in many
cases the scratching has proved a
heavy burden upon left arms.
Although the boys are accepting
army grub in a manner so fiendishly
anxious about noon each day, there
is not one of them who has not wish
ed that he might put in with the fam
ily about the home board for a real
square." Yet, withal, the food is the
kind that is supposed to build men
and after drilling anl tramping over
the wind swept sand dunes on the
shores of San Francisco bay for four
or five hours any sort of food looks
like a Live Wire banquet at Maple
Lane. When the regular army cooks
assigned to each of the 15 companies
in the training camp regiment yells
"come and get it," there is a scramble
that has all the battle charges of his
tory backed off of the map for effect
ive enthusiasm. If the fellows keep
up such a pace on the battle front-
well, goodness help the enemy.
Oregon City's small delegation at
the camp has already made itself
known in more ways than one. Each
man is outfitted in the regulation ol
ive drab and in some cases our best
friends don't know us from Adam.
Of course, in' such a case as that of
Ben Harding, whose bulky form fills
an extra size uniform, there is no
chance for making a mistake in iden
tification. Ben is quartered with the
1st company of the regiment, he hav
ing reported to the camp early. He
is under the command of Captain
Sherman Miles, who is well-known in
Oregon City. Captain Miles is a son
of the famous Army veteran, General
Neson A. Miles. Ben is in his glory
in the 1st company, because the post
exchange, dealing in candy and soda
water, is just across the road. He,
in common with the other Oregon City
boys, is making good at the Presidio
by constant application to his work
and studies.
Harry E. Williams is shedding the
splendor., of his military knowledge
over the 1th company. When I found
Harry piled up on his narrow bunk on
Monday evening he had a mean look
in his eye. And all because he was
promoted on that day. By virtue of
his experience Williams was appoint
ed a squad leader, or corporal, when
he arrived in camp. All appoint
ments being only temporary so that
each man may have training, Harry
was relieved today and put in the' rear
rank, where he has the fine .distinc
tion of being a very capable high pri
vate. Cecil Koffman, who has not yet
smoked up all the cigars nor eaten
all the candy that his "reception com
mittee" donated when he left Ore
gon City, hangs out with the 10th
company. Koffman has .had regular
army experience and is getting away
with the game here like a master,
even though he eats twice as much
as any man in his company. His on
ly request is that certain young wo
men in Oregon City be advised of his
address.
Arthur Caylor, the handsome
young newspaper man, who still be
lieves that a soft newspaper job is
better far than army life, has cast
his fortunes with the 13th company,
and every time he gets off duty long
enough to stretch his manly form up
on the hard mattress the army has
provided him with, some pestering
student officer calls him out to dust
the grime off the front porch or rus
tle a scuttle of coal for the stove.

GOVERNORS OF MANY STATES
SET DAY ASIDE FOR PAT
RIOTIC DUTY
NO EXEMPTIONS UNDER LAW
Aliens as Well as Americans Between
21 and 30 Must Register
Their Names
June 5 has been set by President
Wilson as the day on which all men in
the United States between the ages
of 21 and 30 years, inclusive, must
register for the war census. Many
of the governors of the states have
set the day aside as a holiday, not for
amusement purposes but for the per
formance of a patriotic duty.
WHO MUST REGISTER Every
male resident between the ages of 21
and 30 years, inclusive. This includes
aliens as well as Americans. Japan
ese, Chinese, Italians, Germans, Eng
lish,' Americans, and men of any oth
er nationality who are of the desig
nated ages, must regisiar. Aliens
will not be drafted for war duty, of
course, but a complete record of them
is desired.
WHO IS EXEMPT No male resi
dent between the ages of 21 and 30
years, inclusive, is exempt from reg
istering. Those to be exempted from
military service will be determined
later, but first all must register.
WHERE TO REGISTER Regis
tration must be made in the home pre
cinct of the man registering. Regis
ter at your regular voting place.
HOURS FOR REGISTRATION
Booths at regular voting places in
each precinct will be open on War
Census day from 7 o'clock a. m. to
9 o'clock p. m. Don't wait until the
last moment. Register early.
REGISTRATION OF' ABSEN
TEES If you find you will be un
avoidably absent from your home pre
cinct on War Census day, you should
apply at the earliest possible date to
the county clerk of the county in
which you may be at the time, wheth
er in Oregon or elsewhere, who will
fill out your registration card. He
will then give you the card, which you
must mail to the registrar of your
home precinct, in care of the sheriff
of your home county, in time to reach
the registrar by-War Census day. If
you live in Portland, or a city of over
30,000 population in another state,
mail the card to the registrar in 'care
of the mayor.
But remember, the burden of hav
ing your card reach the registrar of
your home precinct by War Census
day is on you.
REGISTRATION OF THE SICK
Men of military age who are too ill to
go to the voting booth to register
must send a competent person before
War Census day to the county clerk
to explain the circumstances, and se
cure instructions from the federal
regulations which these officials will
receive from the government.
PENALTIES The penalty for
failing to appear to register, or for
giving false, misleading or incorrect
answers, is imprisonment for one
year. There is no alternative of a
fine.
First Man to Register
Henry Weiboldt, employed by the
Willamette Navigation company, has
the distinction of being the first man
to register in Clackamas county for
the conscription law. He gave his
birth-place as San Francisco, and
Sheriff Wilson forwarded his card, to
his home precinct.
bay is a far cry, "especially when the
only reward at this end is a command
to heave on to the starboard end of a
vicious looking scrubbing brush. That
is the transformation of Hugh Broom
field, of Gladstone, and his company
commander testifies that he is as cap
able at the business of scrubbing as
he must have been as a Reed college
student. Because Hugh knew just
what to do the other day. when his
instructor told him to take the "cos
moline out of the magazine, swab off
the follower and apply a little elbow
grease to the receiver," Hugh's more
experienced mates have not attempt
ed to send him to the commanding
officer in search of a skirmish line or
a key to the parade ground.
Have I neglected iny of Oregon
City's bright youth? Me? Well,
I'm not bright and under the weight
of the million and a half typhoid
germs I have gone beyond the youth
ful stage. I have profited here, how
ever, inasmuch as I have deceived a
first hand interpretation of the mean
ing of "hard work," with which I was
never very intimate. I can't see any
fun in this business of being called
out of bed by a wicked bugler at 5:20
a. m., to sally out into the cold gray
fog and the cutting wind for 10 hours
of labor. If there was a union in the
army, I'd be for it with all my ener
gies. But I, like the other fellows,
manage to roll out in time for the
early call and, during the day, put
away my share of the menu from ap
ple sauce to roast beef, and from
grape fruit to poached eggs.
CENSUS
UN
INCREASED ACREAGE
SHOWN ON FARMS
SHOWING REMARKABLE SAYS
AGENT E. B. FITTS, WHO
COMPILED FIGURES
Farm Survey reports received at
the office of the district agricultural
agent at Oregon City from farmers
in all parts of Clackamas county in
dicate an increased acreage in crop
this year of 12 per cent over that
of 1916. The crips showing the
largest increase are oats, barley,
corn and beans. A falling off in fall
sown wheat is shown, while of spring
wheat there is an increase.
No marked changes have taken
place in the number of livestock on
the farms. A slight decrease is not
ed in the number of dairy cattle and
feeding hogs, while brood sows,- sheep
and brood mares show a small in
crease.
Many farmers are short of seeds
and they are being put in touch with
a source of supply, in many instances
within the county. Seeds needed and
seeds for sale, labor needs and ma
chinery requirements are all being
listed and the District Agent's office
will be a clearing house for the distri
bution of labor and exchange of seeds
and supplies. i
"A great number of the needs of
the farmers can be met locally if
some means is at hand for keeping
the different parts of the county in
touch with each otner.
"Lack of machinery is handicap
ping some farmers and an effort is
being made to work out a plan to
meet this need.
"The labor situation seems to be
well in hand at this time, but the need
is indicated of a large number of ex
tra hands at harvest.
"A 12 per sent increase in acre
age is remarkable when the back
ward season and unfavorable weath
er are considered. Clackamas county
farmers, in accomplishing this result,
show patriotism of a high order. It
is a splendid response to the presi
dent's appeal for increased prodoc-
tion," says Professor Fitts.
E. B. Fitts and T. D. Case, in
charge of the local office, desire that
the office be of real service to the
county, and invite cooperation from
organizations and individuals in car
rying on the work.1 " ' "
E MEASURE IS
DECLARED ILLECAL
INTENSIVE INTEREST IN BOND
ISSUE OBSCURES OTHER
MEASURES ON BALLOT
$400,000 FOR PENITENTIARY
Other Laws of Importance to be Voted
Upon by People at Referen
dum Election June 4
While intensive interest centers on
the $6,000,000 road bond issue which
is to be voted upon at the coming
election, June 4, other important
measures may have been lost sight
of. Several measures which involve
the expenditure of money are to be
decided by the voters on the above
date.
The first of these on the ballot is
to permit municipal corporations to
raise money for bonuses to aid water
transportation lines between ports
and to assist in establishing water
transportation between Washington
and Oregon or Idaho reached by in
terior rivers of Oregon.
The second measure is a bill to es
tablish the right of the state to tax
certain lands known as the Oregon
and California land grant and pro
viding for the listing of certain of
these lands on the tax rolls. An
opinion of the supreme court declares
this measure illegal, so it will be
marked out.
The third measure limits the num
ber of bills at any session of the leg
islature and increasing the pay of
legislators. It would provide that on
ly thirty bills be allowed in the sen
ate and sixty bills in the house.
The fourth is a declaration against
the implied repeal of constitutional
provisions by amendments, in order to
leave the amended constitution with
out any conflicting provisions
The fifth question purports to have
uniform taxation of all property of
the same class within the state, coun
ty or district levying the tax.
Number six on the ballot is for the
purpose of requiring incorporated
towns to hold their primafy and gen
eral elections at such times as the
primary and general elections for the
nomination and election of state offi
cers are held.
The next measure provides $400,-
000 for the purpose of constructing a
new state penitentiary, $100,000 to be
raised each year until the money is
all available, work to commence with
the first $100,000.

CROPS OUT AGAIN
ATTENTION OF WIRES CALLED
TO OSWEGO NEWSPAPER
AT LUNCHEON
PLANT 15 ACRES TO BEANS
Will Borrow $400 From Local Banks
on Note Signed by the Officers
of the Club
The weekly luncheon held by the
Live Wires of the Commercial club
of Oregon City was held Tuesday
noon, with a fair attendance. John
W. Loder, "main trunk," was again
absent and B. T. McBain was called
upon to preside at the meeting. ' Most
of the luncheon hour was taken up
with the discussion of the bean pro
ject, which the Wires decided to un
dertake at the last meeting.
President Eby, of the Commercial
club, announced that the committee
appointed at the last meeting to se
cure the ground for planting the
beans had secured about 15 acres in
Mount Pleasant and that it was now
being plowed and whipped into shape
for the planting.
He informed the members that it
would take about $400 to finance the
project and while the Commercial
club was willing to loan the Wires
this amount intil after the harvest
of the crop, he thought that the Wires
ought to finance it themselves and
put the club on record as being inde
pendent of outside assistance. After
being put to a vote it was unani
mously decided to borrow the money
from the local banks here, giving a
note signed by the officers of the club.
Upon a letter being read from" the
state fish and game commission to the
effect that the Live Wires had rec
ommended two men for the same job,
that of deputy fish and game warden
for Clackamas county, the secre--tary
of the club was instructed to
write the commission to use their
own judgment in the matter, and se
lect the one best qualified for the
place. , ; ' '
B. T. McBain called the members'
attention to an article in the Oswego
newspaper about the county division
question not being dead yet. ' He' in
formed the Wires that it was their
duty to encourage Oswego people to
come to Oregon City and offer them
every inducement.
Mr. McBain also made the state
ment in effect that the Commercial
club was working hard to engender
good feeling among the dissenting
factions of the county on this ques
tion, and predicted that by the con
vening of the next legislature har
mony would prevail in the county.
It was announced at the luncheon
that on June 1, the last meeting of
the road bond committee will be held
in the Commercial club parlors in
Oregon City. O. C. Adams, of the
highway commission, will be the
speaker of the evening. The club
members will turn out in a body, and
it is predicted that this will be the
largest meeting ever held in Clack
amas county in the interest of the;
$6,000,000 road bond issue.

THINK THIEF GANG
IS OPERATING HERE
ROBBERIES AT MILWAUKIE ARE
LAID TO DOOR OF ORGANIZ
ED GANG SAY OFFICERS
That there is an organized gang
of thieves operating in Clackamas
county and especially in the vicinity
of Milwaukie, is the belief of officers
who investigated the robbery of the
postoffice, the Disque cigar store, and
the home of Mrs. E. C. Bergin, all of
which occurred in the past few days.
Mrs. Bergin's home was entered
while she and her daughter were at
tending a theatre in Portland but the
prowlers were evidently either fright
ened away by other causes or by the
return of Mrs. Bergin, for nothing of
value was taken, although an electric
light was left burning in the kitchen
and other evidences of a search hav
ing been made for valuables were ap

HIGHWAY'S POLICY
C. SCHUEBEL AND WALLACE
CAUFIELD URGE ADOPTION
OF $6,000,000 BONDS
C. Schuebel and Wallace B. Cau-
field, of the good roads committee of
the Oregon City Commercial club, ap
peared in Logan Friday night to urge
the voters to adopt the $6,000,000
road bond issue. Mr. Schuebel read a
statement said to have been signed by
Chairman S. Benson and E. J. Adams,
of the state highway commission,
setting forth the policy of the com
mission. Both members of the committee ex
pressed pleasure at the manner in
which the voters met their efforts in
behalf of the bond issuer They be
lieve that the statement of the high
way commission will do much to allay
opposition to the issue in Clackamas
county.
According to the statement the
commission favors that no money be
spent for royalties for patented
pavement.
The commission favors a guaranty
and maintenance bond for a long term
of years but not too long to jeopar
dize iree competition. No state mon
ey to be paid to contractors for main
tenance that is covered by the bonds.
It proposes to have the state en
gineer submit estimates for work and
where the bids exceed the estimates
to. have the state do the work.
Convict labor in the preparation of
crushed rock and other material and
in the actual construction of the road
ways is favored, as well as the pur
chase of cement, asphalt and other
road materials in sufficient quantities
to supply the needs of the state and
to sell these materials to counties at
cost.
To enable small contractors to
compete on work, the statement fa
vors the buying of materials but let
ting the work of construction.
The commission has determined to
meet with the county court in the
county where a bid is to be let and
the members favor the use of con
crete wherever it is practicable. ,
Counties having plants for build
ing roads are to be asked to bid on
work to be done in their counties.
Three factors are recognized in
determining the cost and value of a
road, says the statement. They are,
first, the initial cost of construction;
second, the life of the road; and third,
the annual cost of maintenance.
Mr. Schuebel in his address ex
plained that 20 miles of pavement
would be constructed over the Pacific
highway in Clackamas county from
the southern border of Multnomah to
the northern border of Marion.
He declared the county would have
thousands of dollars each year to use
on laterals which are now being used
on the north and south road. He said
the north and south road would have
less burden to bear in maintenance if
hard surface were used.
The drive the "12 disciples of road
efficiency" is making is expected to
increase the number favoring the
bond issue at the election June 4th.

REDUCTIONS AMOUNT TO AP
PROXIMATELY $60,000 ON
PRESENT BUSINESS
RESIDENCE LIGHT AFFECTED
Order Made by Public Service Com
mission in Order to Meet

& Power company was ordered this
week by the Public Service commis
sion. The reductions will amount to
approximately $60,000 to $65,000 on
the company's present volume of
business.
Keen competition is given as a
cause for rapid falling off of the com
pany's profits and the commission de
cided that the only way to increase
the revenues was by meeting compe
tition. Based on an average use of 600-
watt connected load the following
table shows how the new rates will
affect residence lighting:
Kilowatt hours. Old rate. New rate
11 $1.00 $1.00
12 1.04 1.00
13 1.11 1.00
15 1 1.25 1.14
20 1:60 1.49
25 1.80 1.64
The minimum rate under both the
old and new schedule is $1 a month
for residences.
Following is the commission's or
der relating to residence lighting
rates.
First 20 kilowatt hours per month
for first 600 watts or less of installa
tion, plus 1 kilowatt hour per month '
for each additional 30 watts of in
stallation (in excess of 600) will be
at the primary rate.
All consumption in excess of that.
at the primary rate will be at the sec
ondary rate.
Primary rates First 13 kilowatt
hours or less, $1; excess over 13 kilo
watt hours 7 cents per kilowatt.
Secondary rate First 50 kilowatt
hours 3 cents per kilowatt; excess
over 60 kilowatt hours 2 cents per
kilowatt.
Discount of 5 per cent will be giv
en for payment within 10 days from
the date of the bill.
Minimum bill for lighting service,
$1 per month.
Minimum bill for lighting service,
in combination with heating, cooking,
and small domestic power loads hav
ing a possible connected capacity in
excess of 2 kilowatts, $2 per month.
Rates for commercial power are
fixed as follows:
First 73 hours' use per month of
the consumers' demand will be at the
primary rate.
All consumption m excess of that
at the primary rate will be at the sec
ondary rate.
Primary rate: First 500 kilowatt
hours, 5 cents per kwh; next 500
kilowatt hours, 4 cents per kwh,; next
4000 kilowatt hours, 3 cents per kwh.;
excess over 6000 kilowatt hours, 2
cents per kwh.
Secondary rate: For installations
