OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY. OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1917. SCHOOLS OPEN WITH A PROMISING ENROLLMENT Book stores were the center of business interest in Oregon City this week and children starting to school again have kept clerks busy. Enroll ment with the opening of the grade and high schools Monday morn-' ing was said to presage a consider able increase over last year. A total of 372, or more than had registered at the end of the first month last year, was enrolled at the Eastham school. At the Barclay school 307 enrolled and more will come in during the next few, weeks. The high school fell short of a record- breaking registration, but, even there, 300 pupils signed up. Many of the high school boys have follow ed the colors and others are forced to take the places in business left by those who have gone to war. Following the opening of the schools the school board held special meeting Monday night to authorize a course in Spanish for the high school, and this work will be undertaken at once. The board also announced the appointment of a high school librarian, Miss Frances Bow land, to have charge of the rapidly growing collection of books in the building. Superintendent F. J. Tooze takes special pride in the library and through purchase and donation has secured a fine library. The Bchool board authorized the expenditure of $200 for work on the grounds about the Barclay school building, and the amount will be spent to put them in the best possible condition. W jfall Opening Utopia? ant p' p ..icMUWuiiuiium II f TEEVIN SENT TO CAMP Divorce Suit Pending Does Not Aid. Medical Tests Waived Joseph Francis Teevin of Damas cus, left here Wednesday for Camp Lewis at American Lake, Wash., to take up the duties of a soldier in the national army without the right of appealing to the board for ex emption and without even undergo ing .medical examination. Teevin was ordered to report before the local board on August 9, but had left the county without advising the author ities of his destination. Tuesday the young man appeared before the board and under the rules of the draft was ordered to report immediately at American Lake. Teevin, it appears, had been working on an eastern Ore gon ranch and had not received a no tice. His attorney in Portland heard of the matter and advised the young man to get back here promptly. Teevin has a divorce suit pending against his wife and is the father of three children. It is said that Mrs. Teevin contemplates riling a cross complaint in the divorce case and that action will be held up for some time, so that Teevin s plea to be al lowed to await its outcome was not availing. CITY SELLS BONDS Buck Will Operate Garbage System in Business District At a special meeting last week night the city council disposed of $11,130.18 worth of municipal im provement bonds, for which Morris Bros., of Portland paid par and a premium of $309 and interest. The bonds are designed to take care of the cost of certain delayed sewer work on the hill. A business district garbage sys tem was proposed at the meeting Monday night and an ordinance li censing George W. Buck as the op erator of such an agency was read for the first time. It will be dispos- ed of at a meeting on October 3. Mr. Buck promises to collect garbage be tween the S. P. tracks and the river from homes, hotels and restaurants and for that privilege will collect rubbish from the stores and houses in the same district. One of Ore gon City's great needs is a garbage collection and disposition system and the council willingly granted Mr. Buck's application as a partial help along this line.

The lad is specifically charged with taking the machine of Gordon Mc KilliMiTi from West Linn on Sunday morning. McKillican drove his ma chine from his home in Mount Pleas ant to West Linn, where he is em ployed, and he has not seen it since. Thomas Moore was paroled from the state training school three months ago. He worked for a short time and suddenly disappeared with his father's automobile. Some time later the car was found, but the boy was not seen again until last Satur day night, when he appeared at home and was about to start away with the car again when his mother stopped him with a threat to call the officers. Thomas then is said to have stolen his father's rifle and fled. The gun was found Sunday in a shack on Mount Pleasant, where, it is claimed, the boy had also attempted to steal a car owned by Arthur Smith. The gasoline was low and the machine was abandoned, and the young fellow then went in search of the McKilli can car, it is claimed. Never Bothered Since After suffering with terrible pains in his back and e round his kidneys for eight years, and after having tried several doctors and different medicines, Alvis Souers, Ade, Ind., writes: "Foley Kidney Pills were rec ommended to me and the first bottle removed the pain. After taking three bottles the bloating was all gone and has nevor bothered me since." When relief can be had so quickly why not banish backache, rheumatic pains, stiff and swollen joints caused by dis ordered kidneys? Jones Drug Co.
