CLARKE AND HOLLAND ARE
SENT TO STATE PRISON
Circuit Judge Campbell last week
sentenced Harry Holland, found guil
ty of larceny from a dwelling, to
serve from one to seven years in the
state prison. George W. Clarke,
who was indicted with Holland for

said, as a realty operator. His at
torneys made a plea for leniency in
hig case and for the consideration of
this Judge Campbell withheld sen
tence until Monday. '
MAYOR READS AN ANNUAL

(Continued from Page 1)
"I am plad to sav that we hnva

way and have kept within the bud
get, ana win nave tne money ready to
take care of our bonded indebtedness
as it accrues. Of course, the end is
not and will not be in sight for a
lone time vet. but with careful hus
bandry we'll "burn the mortgage" in
time.
"The figures nrenared for me bv
the city recorder make a very credit
able showing for the past year, leav
ing the city a balance of $1192.43 in
all funds.
"As to measures that should be
adopted, I recommend that you pass
some measure that will assist the po
lice in preserving the order of the
city ana protect the people therein.
"I recommend that you pass a com
plete traffic ordinance.
"1 recommend that the dog license
law be amended to cover the ground
more completely.
"I shall expect the chairman of
each committee to be able to furnish
us with a statement as to the condi
tion of his fund at any and all times.
"The cemeterv has been nerrlfipffirl
for a long time and I hope and trust
this committee will give it the at
tention it deserves. We are all more
or less interested in the cemeterv
at any rate I am and I am anxious
to see it put in a neat and tasty con
dition so that it will be a credit to
the city.
"As to the paving plant I have
manv times recommended that thn
city purchase a plant and do its own
paving, ine county is doing this and
I'd be glad to see the city doing the
same. However, let us make no mis
takes. Worswick pavement is the
best pavement yet discovered and
let's have the best: it is far the
cheapest in the long run.
"1 need not perhaps say that I wish
you would think twice before spend
ing a dollar. Any body can spend
money; it's the wise who can save
and it's up to us to save.
"This applies to all departments;
and I recommend that before spend
ing much money you consult the
council in the matter; that the mat
ter be fully and thoroughly under
stood, before proceeding.
"In conclusion let me thank you
each and all for your kind support
and assistance during the past year.
I am quite sure that our relations
will be as pleasant in the future as
in the past, and it must be a great
relief to the people to know that this
"scrapping business" has ceased.
Again I thank you each and all for
the services you have rendered the
city faithfully and cheerfully and
may God prosper you and our fair
city for the coming year of 1918."
A profit of $5263.33 for the past
year is shown by the semi-annual
report of the city board of water
commissioners, which was presented
at the meeting. The report shows
that $32,268.12 was the total collect
ed during the yeur and that $27,004.
7!) was expended.
The assets of the board covering
ownership of a two-third interest in
the South Fork water system, the
city distributing system, two reser
voirs, and $5136.39 cash on hand, are
$500,836.39. Liabilities total $85,836.
39 less than the total of the assets.
The only improvement suggested for
the coming year is a new main pipe
on Molalla avenue, where the present
pipe provides only enough pressure
for individual use. Such improve
ment would cost $4000 and the board
says it has not sufficient money for
this expense. A total of 81 new tap
ping permits were issued during 1917,
according to the report.
YUKON VILLAGE DESERTED
QUICK
(Continued from Page 1)
"I went to my shop, The clocks
were ticking. To be certain that I
was awake I opened one and stopped
the swinging pendulum. It stopped.
When I started it again, the clock re
sumed its ticking.
"Say, friend, you can't imagine
the fearful thoughts that came over
me I was crazy. The town was
there, so were the people, but I could
not see or hear them. I had 'gone
Dugs and would go out on the first
steamer for the crazy house at Port
land. Lord, how I was frightened.
The sweat ran down me.
"I went outside and looked around.
Not a sign of life. I went down the
hill to the river bank. Everything
was fearfully quiet. The river was
very high, but as the town was on a
rise far above it, certainly no sane
person could be alarmed at the ris
ing stream.
"Then I went back of the town
looking for something stirring,
listening for some sound, when oh,
the joy of it! I heard a shout, and
looking up the hill I saw a man wav
ing his arms, yelling and beckoning
me to come.
"He need not have beckoned. 1
tore for him. A malamute couldn't
have passed me. As I neared him,
he disappeared over the hill. I fol
lowed and when I reached the top I
was so exhausted and scared that 1
fell and could not get up.
"When I got my heart action slow
ed down and my senses began to
work, I saw the whole population of
the town was behind the hill, with
dogs, food, etc., each family with its
few belongings."
Now I will shorten the narrative
and anxiety and tell you the rest in
short meter.
The Northern Commercial com
pany had a large warehouse on the
river bank. The ice had gorged in
the river, held back the flow and the
water had surrounded the warehouse.
The company manager came in from
the mines that night, had one look
at the rising river and spread the
alarm:
"There is carbide, dynamite and
giant powder in the warehouse. If
the water reaches the calcium, up
goes the town. Run for the hill."
It didn't reach it. The ice dam
went out and the river went down,
and none too soon. Three inches
higher and the carbide would have
exploded and as the story-teller said,
"The berg would have went to where
there is no nine months' winter and
the map of Alaska would have lost
another dot."
As I run over this remarkable hap
pening I think "What a frame for a
short story." But I have spilled the
beans the Saturday Evening Post
won't have it now.

Lingering colds seem to settle in the

Henderson, Ky., writes: "My daugh

genuine Foley's Honey and Tar.
Jones Drug Co.
Was Feeling All Run Down
Symptoms of on-coming kidney
trouble deserve prompt attention, for
neglect invites serious illness. Lou
is Buckner, Somerset, Va., writes:
"I was feeling all run down; tired,
with pains in my back. After taking
Foleys' Kidney Pills I felt like a new
man." Backache, rheumatic pains,
stiff joints, sore muscles, swollen an
kles, puffiness under eyes, and sleep
disturbing bladder ailments yield
quickly to this time-tried remedy.
A boon to middle-aged men and wo
men. Jones Drug Co.

Which She Says Was Due To
Constipation and Tells of
Relief Obtained From
Black-Draught. ,
Scottsburg, Ind. Mrs. Annie Johnson,
of this place, writes: "I well remember
I suffered for a long time with constipa
tion, which would get me down. 1 took '
doctors' medicines and any number of
purgatives. They would leave me in a
worse condition than I was before taking,
and my stomach so upset ... I know
once I suffered . . . from constipation, I
was so ill we had to have the doctor, just
so nervous and feverish. The doctor
said I would have to quit medicines, my
stomach was so bad ...
My husband was reading and found
something about Thedford's Black
Draught and brought me a package to
try. I used it regularly at first until 1 be
gan to feel better, then I used just a dose
occasionally. 1 was cured of this con
stipation and am sure the Black-Draught
did it."
