SPEAKER AT LIVE WIRE
LUNCHEON TUESDAY
COMMITTEE OF 5 IS NAMED
Horrible Suffering and Atrocious Per
secutions of the Armenian and
Syrian Races Recounted
With the opening gun of the big
drive for funds being fired by Ben
Selling, of Portland, in a stirring
appeal at the Tuesday Live Wire
luncheon, the Armenian life-saving
work in Clackamas county is now
well under way. Mr. Selling, who is
chairman of the state committee, told
in graphic manner of the sufferings,
privations and persecutions of the
Armenian and Syrian people, and re
counted in horrifying detail the re
lentless activities of the Turks and
their ghoulish ally, Germany. That
the terrible sufferings of the Armen
ian race is the result of their Chris
tian beliefs, and that the people now
may be likened to the Jews with
out a country, are statements of Mr.
Selling.
Jo do our share of the relief work
portioned among the states and coun
ties, Clackamas county will be call
ed upon to come forward with $3500.
The Live Wires have appointed a
committee to handle the affairs of
the local campaign, and active prepa
rations are going forward to make
the drive a grand success. The men
appointed on Tuesday were: A. A.
Price, C. Schuebel, C. H. Dye, W. A.
Dimick, and Roy Prudden.
At a meeting on Tuesday evening
the committee met for the purpose
of perfecting their plans, and at that
time decided to have local people
addressed by Dr. Coan, a former
Resident and missionary in Armenia,
and who will be able to give the pub
lic first hand information of actual
war conditions. He is an accredited
speaker of the National Committee
on Armenian Relief, and will open
the eyes of Clackamas county people
to what has been termed the great
est suffering on earth.
That these conditions in Armenia
and Syria are real, concrete -facts,
is attested by the following cables,
received in this country within the
past month. These are filom the
American consuls, and are official
recognitions of the necessity of im
mediate action by American people:
Cairo, Feb. 9: "In Jerusalem, feed
ing 16,000 destitute; Jewish commit
tee feeding another 16,000. Egypt

M0LALLA CHILD IS
BURNED TO DEATH
BRIGHT 5-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
OF PROMINENT COUPLE IN
FATAL ACCIDENT
L.
Dorris Engle, five-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Engle,
prominent Molalla residents, died
yesterday afternoon as the result of
burns received when her clothing ig
nited from the flames of a fireplace.
The child was playing about the
hearth when the accident occurred,
and although her aunt, Miss- Merle
Adams, who was caring for her at
the time, immediately extinguished
the flames, the child was so badly
burned that she died within a few
hours. Doctors Hume and Todd did
all within their power to save the
life of the little girl, to no avail.
The child was a great favorite of the
Molalla people, and the community is
grief stricken.

WITHIN TWO WEEKS
AGRICULTURISTS EXEMPTED
Local Board Takes Men from Class
One in Sequence of Order
Number Farmers Left
Oregon must furnish 369 men for
military service, and entrain them
for Camp Lewis between March 29
and April 2, as its share of the 90,
000 men to be called up throughout
the United States on those dates.
No county in the state will be ex
empted from this draft call, accord
ing to orders just -received from the
war department by the adjutant gen
eral of Oregon. The men taken from
the state on this call will be credit
ed later on the quota Oregon is call
ed to furnish in the new draft, the
date of which is yet to be announc
ed. The men to fill the present call will
be inducted out of class I in sequence
of their order numbers. ' The Clack
amas call will take 15 men, and they
will leave here on the 29th for Amer
ican Lake.
Although the men will be taken
from class 1 in succession of order
numbers, the president, jn view of
the scarcity of farm labor, has made
the following important exceptions,
that "the call to the colors of men
actively, completely and assiduously
engaged in the planting or cultivat
ing of a crop, but who are in class 1,
and within the quotas, should be de
ferred until the end of the new
quota."
The orders further state that the
president directs local boards to pass
the order number of such men in
filling this emergency oall, and states
that thib step is taf-.eA solely in the
need of the nation, and not for the
benefit of any individual.
The Clackamas county draft board
is urged to observe closely the con
duct of those deferred, and immed
iately upon being convinced that any
person so given deferred classifica
tion is not giving his entire time and
attention to agricultural duty, or
that he is trifling with the deferment
granted him, should call him to the
colors. Citizens in general are ask
ed to assist in' making the work of
the local boards just and equitable,
and to report cases meriting defer
ment and also cases in which the de
layed classification is being abused.

ALERT SLEUTHS NAB
BOOTLEG DEVOTEES
GOOD WHISKEY AND BAD TAK
EN BY SHERIFF AND COPS
FROM VARIOUS PLACES
Nobody understands the prognosti
cating, powers of Sheriff Wilson. His
ability to foresee the arrival of
booze in the city is a matter of psy
chic mysteries, but that concrete re
sults prove his -abstract methods is
shown by the prolific results. The
sixth sense of justice, that evidently
hovers around our genial officers,
was on the job for the sheriff early
Monday morning, and he met the
morning train. From nearby cover
he watched the arrival in the city of
three young men. They alighted
from the California train, and Cali
fornia is still wet. Each man was
accompanied by bulky suit cases. In
company with Speed Cop Mead Sher
iff Wilson followed the men down the
street, to Eighth.- Here they met an
other young man, who escorted them
to an automobile, parked on the side
street. It was just before the wheels
started turning that the waxy
sleuths gave out the proverbial
"Come with me," and took the men
over to the nearbv court house. Here
the official investigation disclosed 24
prime quarts of standard whiskey.
The three California arrivals were
Ivan Andreyantsaemko, J, Rudalff,
and John Yakiaknko, and the man
whom they met here, and who was
supposed to . take them into Port
land, was Mike Yakiaknko. At their
hearing before Judge Seivers Monday
forenoon, the court was satisfied that
the liquor was intended for home con
sumption, and that no idea of boot
legging had been entertained by the
culprits. Upon ascertaining that the
men were, ship yard workers, and had
employment in Portland, the Judge
let them off with a ten dollar fine
apiece.
Sunday night was also a busy one
for the booze department of Sheriff
Wilson s activities, and he had Pres
nall Martin and Thomas McFall, of
Portland, in the cooler here to ans
wer the charge of being intoxicated
at the Riverview dancing pavilion,
which opened near Milwaukie recent
ly. The young men appeared before
Judge Seivers on Monday and were
assessed $15 apiece. J. A. Schultz,
who was also taken in by Wilson at
the dance for being intoxicated, de
posited $20 as a guarantee for his
appearance in court. He failed to
show up on Monday and the money
was forfeited.
EVERHART ANNOUNCES HIS

Mrs. and Mrs. G. C. Armstrong
On last Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Bonney entertain
ed a number of friends at their home at Redland, the event being
in commemoration of their 20th wedding anniversary, and also be
ing planned as a surprise on Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Armstrong, neigh
bors whose golden anniversary fell upon the same date.
The Armstrongs were married in England in 1868, and arriv
ed in this country in March of 1873. Their first residence in Amer
ica was in Michigan, where Mr. Armstrong was employed in the
mines. After three years there, the family came west to California,
where they resided for a year, before coming to Oregon. Here a
homestead was taken up, and here the family has made its home.
During the 46 years of their residence near Redland, many, many
changes have taken place, arid it is not hard for Mr. Armstrong to
recall the time when it was almost impossible for him to make the
trip to Oregon City from his place on horseback.
At the anniversary last Saturday, the time was pleasantly
spent in reminiscences of the olden days of Clackamas county, with
suitable songs of old time popularity preceding the sehvingjrf de
lectable refreshments.
. Those present to offer their congratulations to the host and
hostess, and to the guests of honor, were: Mr. and Mrs. John Ham
ilton and son, James, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Rose, Mr. and Mrs.
E. Hinkle, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Allen, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Allen, Mr.
and Mrs". George Gill, Miss Clara Fullam, Mr. and Mrs. John
Hendricks, Mr. A. Jensen, Mr. Jack Hindle, and Miss Bertha Oliver.
Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong were the recipients of many pieces of
gold jewelry, gifts from the neighbors. The presentation speech
was made by Mr. Hamilton, who also presented the hosts, Mr. and
Mrs. Bonney, with a set xt beautiful china tea accessories. The
gifts were the expression of the high esteem, and popularity in
which the couples are held in the community.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM ENGLISH MAID
REDLAND COUPLE GET DETAILS
OF WAR CONDITIONS IN
NATIVE COUNTRY
' In an interesting letter mailed
from their- niece, Lizzie Hindle, from
London on the 15th of last month,
Mr. and Mrs. George C. Armstrong,
of Redland, learn of the privations of
a nation that has had the war
brought, much closer to it than we
have here. Extracts from the letter,
-.V t. 1 1 1.1-!-. t
wnicn was. received nere mis ween,
follows: ' ' ' .
" ...... How are you get
ting along for food? We are really
in a bad way, butter, margarine, tea,
and also milk, bacon, cheese, and
meat 'are very scarce, and when a
shop does have anything to sell, it
is nothing to see several hundred
people lining up for it. . I will give
you one or two instances. Mother
waited at our butcher's, a fortnight
ago, for three hours for our Sunday
dinner, and at the end of that time
received 2 small chops for 4 of us,
but last week we had a piece of beef,
1 pounds, without waiting, but do
not think that we shall get much to
morrow. "The other day I waited for mar
garine for an hour, and when I got
within a few yards of the door they
came and told us it was all gone,
There were quite 60 people behind
me. We have had only hi pound of
bacon since Christmas. We are not
always so unfortunate, we do get an
occasional pound of margarine or
M pound of butter, but it soon goes,
I assure you.
"Then these air raids, they are
simply dreadful. The two in Janu
ary lasted such a long time. We had
the warning about 8:10 on Monday
and did not get the "all clear" until
1:15. The guns go as hard as they
can. We have them on trolleys in
our streets, and we have a French 75
on Wans'tead Flats, about i of an
hour's walk from us, and when she
goes off we all know about it, and
then this time the firing in the air
was very great, and we could hear
ine macnine guns distinctly. 1 am
sorry to say "there were" manyiiiisual
ties that night, as a bomb went
through a large building that ' was
used as a raid shelter and 600 people
were there.
The lette tells of many sacrifices
being made '' daily' by the English
people, and gives an insight into con
ditions that face this country unless
a concerted effort is made now to
down the kaiser and his methods.

WILLAMETTE YOUTH
SEVERELY CENSURED
SMITH LAD IS REPRIMANDED
BY JUDGE ANDERSON OF
JUVENILE COURT '
' . ' ' '
Judge Anderson recently put in a
few good licks for decency when he
gave Edgar Smith, of Willamette, a
severe lecture fpr his flagrant viola
tions of propriety. Young Smith,
who 1 is about 18 years old, was
brought before the Juvenile court
upon complaint of the school author
ities of Willamette, who accused the
lad of a series of petty misdemeanors.
He is not a pupil of the school, hav
ing but recently moved to the vicin
ity with his parents from Idaho, but
has been in the habit of coming to
the grounds and making himself de
cidedly. obnoxious to the pupils and
the staff. The teacher, Miss Bur-
goyne, had remonstrated with him
over the misuse of some of the play
apparatus, when she was told that he
would use his own judgment as to
what was best for him to do. The
principal, Mr. Romig, also got after
the boy, and received a scathing
shower of profanity for his pains
Besides the pupils, the teachers and
the school'' board, the janitor also
came in for a portion of the corrupt
ed lad s denunciation, and it was
when no more could be decided as to
who was to run the school that the
case was brought before the Juvenile
court.
After reprimanding the boy, the
judge gave him his freedom, with
the admonition that any subsequent
offence would lead him straight to
the state reformatory. The boy
promised good behavior.

collecting the field glasses loaned to
the government by the local patriots.
The navy sent forth a call to citizens
all over the country to donate the
use of "eyes" for the duration of the
war, as the department was unable
to purchase any, due to the lack of
imported glass. The glasses are reg
istered, and will be. returned to the
owners after the war,
Those from Oregon City who came
forth in response to the call were

TO REDUCE COSTS
OREGON CITY MERCHANTS GET
TOGETHER ON SCHEME TO ,
AID CONSERVATION
DELIVERIES WILL COOPERATE
Earlier Closing Also Item in New
Policy of Organized Dealers at '
Government Request
At a meeting held Tuesday at the
Commercial club rooms, A. N. Stan
ton, who is director of deliveries of
the National Council of Defense, told
the merchants of the city of the gov
ernment's wishes- in the - matter of
aiding war work. He suggested that
Oregon City follow the example of
the thousands of other cities over the
United States, which are reducing
their deliveries to a minimum, thus '
releasing men for more vital service.
Mr. Stanton gave an interesting talk
on just what conditions the Amer
ican people are facing, and laid spec
ial stress upon the' need, of coopera
tion between producer and consumer.
Beginning next Monday the local
merchants will make but one daily '
delivery. This will be immediately
after noon, and the store keepers sug
gest that all orders be sent in as
early in the morning as possible.
With a little education and patience,
the people will soon become used to
the seemingly stringent war measur
es and every package carried home,
and every effort to reduce or conserve
the needless energy of the nation is
a blow at the kaiser and a lick for
Democracy. '
The following merchants have
agreed to the one-delivery system, to
be inaugurated on Monday: H. P.
Brightbill, Young's Bakery, George
Ely, Hub Grocery, Brady Mercantile
Co., Larsen & Company, ' V. Harris, 1
20th Century Grocery, Farr Bros.,
Wm. ; Estes, Geo. Everhart, Jack "
Bros., Frank Schoenborn, Hogg Bros.,
G. W. Dunmire, D. M. Klemsen 4
Co., Henry Strebig, R. Petzold, W.
B. Stokes. ! : "
Saturday night closing was also
taken up at the meeting, and the '
merchants agreed that the following 1
hours be kept by those installing the
new delivery system, Saturday night
close at 8 o clock, and week days at
6 o'clock in the evening. This in- ''
eluded groceries and meat markets.1
. Files for Second Franchise 1
William M. Stone, of this city, has
filed papers with the Public Service
commission asking for a franchise '
for the Clackamas .County Driving
and Rafting company, for operations
on Butte and Coal creeks. The peti- '
tion asks for a franchise to extend as
far as Scott's Mill. The first appli-,
cation of the company was not grant
ed due to improper notice. Mr. Stone
asks the commission to expedite the
hearing, and suggests that April 30th
would be a suitable date to hold it.
Slacker Suspect Picked Up
Joe Moralis was taken in by the
local police here last Friday even
ing, and was taken the next day to
Portland to answer the charge of be
ing a draft evader. Moralis carried
a registratidn card, made out In
South Dakota, but no evidence was
found by Sheriff Wilson, when he '
questioned the man, that a question
naire had been filled out. He is ac
