OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1917. CHAUTAUQUA TREASURY IS IN GOOD CONDITION Gross receipts of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua association for the year ending with the meeting of the board of directors Monday after noon were $12,084.59, according to the report read at the meeting, by Thomas A. Burke, secretary. Actu al receipts for the year were $7937.79. In addition to this amount $2250 was paid in on stock subscriptions and the balance that has been accumulat ing for four years, $1896.80, is add ed to increase the total. There is a balance of $470.79 on hand after pay ing out to date about $5000 on the new auditorium and other expendi tures bring the total outlay up to $11,607.55. At the meeting Monday it was shown that after the last of the bills for the auditorium and other ex penses incident to the annual assem bly were paid, there will be a balance of about $1500 for work preparatory to the next session. This money will be used by the directors in building new walkn and roadways and in pro viding bettor lighting, water and san itary service. Whereas several of the directors last year were not favorable to a new building at Gladstone, it appears that the structure is much more than paid for by the receipts of the last session, together with the stock sales. The directors who had charge of the assembly this year, and who will probably continue in office, are: President, C. H. Dye; H. E. Cross, J. W. Loder, C. Schuebel, Mrs. C. H. Dye, George Armstrong, Mrs. A. B. Manley, W. A. Huntley, Mrs. Emma M. Spooner, J. E. Jack, F. A. Olm stead, E. G. Caufleld, Dr. George Hoeye and Duane Ely. al army quota that left here Friday for American Lake, Wash., has writ' ten to County Clerk Harrington as chief of the contingent to advise her of the trip to the camp. He says: "We were obliged to remain in Portland until 2:10 Friday afternoon, and then had a car all to ourselves on the Shasta Limited. We lunched at the Multnomah hotel, and, to save confusion and time, had dinner on the train. We arrived at American Lake at 6:30 and found 'some place.' Five thousand men arrived here Fri day and 1500 Thursday, and there were 3000 here already, all splendid fellows. We have just been issued blankets and towels and every one is tired and sleepy."

Doser complains that he has been forced to cook meals for himself and Adah Doser, his wife, from whom he seeks a divorce, in a complaint, filed here Friday. The Dosers were married in Portland on January 28, 1914. Mrs. Doser has refused to live with her husband since September 1, preferring a life in which entertainment was the sole ambition, declares the complaint, Mr. Doser asks that he be allowed to keep a small automobile and is will ing to divide the household goods with his wife. Judge J. U. Campbell Friday granted a divorce decree to Andrew L. and Florence McCoy. The decree gives Mrs. McCoy custody of a minor son, Ralph, and $20 a month alimony. Estate Entered for Probate Letters of administration were petitioned for Friday by John H. Darnall, of Mulino, son and only known heir of Nicholas H. Darnall, who died at his home in Molalla last week. The estate comprises real property valued at $2130 and person al property worth $710. Courier tnd Daily Journal $4.75.

M'NARY FAVORS TAXING GREAT PROFIT REAPERS DEVICE SAVES LINER Following the passage in the sen ate of the two billion dollar war rev enue bill, and while awaiting the fin al action of the conferees with re spect to the adjustment of all differ ences in the measure as it passed the two branches of congress, Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon made a public statement in which he said: "I voted for the revenue bill upon its final passage as the war cannot be fought without money; yet, I hop ed that a greater portion of the rev enue could have been collected from those colossal institutions which are enjoying the fruits of the yar and are thriving upon the enormous -ex- Denditures made necessarv bv this world conflict. I would not advocate ! serted that the mechanism a revenue policy that would disturb or frighten business nor would I sup port a measure that considers the profiters too tenderly. "The only objection I have to the bill now in conference is that it did not bear down more heavily upon the reapers of large war profits. For example, the Dupont Powder com pany made annually from 1913 to Edison's Invention May Have Crip pled Deadly Torpedoes If America has not solved the sub marine problem, it has cut down the danger from it to a tremendous ex tent, it was declared at Washington on Monday, through the torpedo de flecting device invented by Thomas A. Edison. This' is said to have been tried out effectively with torpedo boats and to have been installed on several liners. . The most spectacular test of the device so far, it is declared, resulted in saving a big American steamship, which arrived in an Atlantic port Monday. The passengers arriving on the ship, including some army of ficers who were not in the secret, as- of the torpedo went wrong just before it should have struck the vessel. The torpedo was described as hav ing leaped into the air and gone off on a tangent when it re-entered the water, passing to the stern of the ship. This torpedo, it is confidently as serted, was deflected by Mr. Edi son's device which had been instal- 1915 inclusive profits amounting to'led on that shiP nJ a few others. five million dollars while in 1916 its profits climbed to the stupendous sum of eighty-two millions. The United States steel corporation made in the year preceding our entrance into the war sixty-three millions of dollars and based upon the first six months of the current year it is es timated that its profits for 1917 will The work of installing the devices, which are declared to be inexpensive, when the service is taken into con sideration, will proceed with great rapidity.

MAY MUCH ALIVE Proceedings in Court Halt When Word of Death is Heard Although his feeble condition is admitted, the death of Wiley W. May, Clackamas county pioneer, which caused a postponement of proceed ings in the probate court Monday, is flatly denied and Mr. May appears to be a very live man. When H. E. Cross, attorney for Edward F. May, guardian of the elderly man, appear ed in the probate court ready to take up the case, it was announced that Mr. May had died. The rumor prov ed false soon after. Edward F. May, the guardian, is one of 10 children born to Mr. and Mrs. Wiley W. May, who are residents of Carus. BURNS CAUSE DEATH Sandy Woman Helps Son Burn Brush and Loses Life Mrs. P. A.
