PROMINENT CLARKES MAN
IS SUDDENLY STRICKEN
Christ Zwahlen, a well known
farmer of Clarkes, was found dead
in a manger of his barn there last
Thursday evening by his youngest
son, Frank. Mr. Zwahlen, who was
75 years of age, had suffered consid
erable from heart failure, and it is
thought that he was taken with a
fatal attack while seeking eggs in
the manger. Coroner Johnson and
District Attorney Hedges investigat
ed the case at once, and decided that
an inquest was not necessary.
Mr. Zwahlen was ' born in Bohn,
Switzerland, but came to this country
while yet a young man. ' For the past
twelve yeas he has resided in this vi
cinity, previous to which he lived near
Portland. ' He is survived by the fol
. lowing children: Mrs. Ida Kleinsmith,
of Oregon City; Mrs. Bertha Boss, of
Blind Slough; Fred Zwahlen, of Port
land, and Robert, Walter, and Frank
Zwahlen, of this, county. His , wife
has been dead for several years.
Funeral services were held on Sun
day at Clarkes, with a large atten
dance of friends of the deceased. -

BOOTLEGGERS GALORE GIVE
MEADS PLENTY WORK TO DO
A peculiar twist of events ended
in the arrest of a Portland police
man. Tetter, and a Portland hnnt..
legger, George Bauer, Thursday night
Dy Utticer Meads of this city. Meads
was at the Clackamas station when
the California train drew un Thurs
day night, and as Bauer dropped off
with his suit cases bulging, an auto
drove, up and signaled for him. Here
Meads stepped in and nlaced th
party under arrest, ignoring the dri
ver's statements that he was a Port
land policeman who had "gotten his
man." They were brought to this
city and communcation with the Port
land police bureau developed the fact
that it was really an officer who had
been the reception committee for the
man from the sunny south. He had
been detailed by his chief to visit
Clackamas in comnanv with nnnther
boot-legger, who was turning states
evidence, to intercept the man who
was to alight and make the trip into
town via auto;
So the policeman was liberated and
the boot-legger was held. The next
morning, Plowden Stoft, Portland at
torney, anneared at the cnurthnnsa
here and arranged for the $150 bail
required lor the liberty of Bauer. How
the attorney knew of his plight, is a
mystery, as the prisoner had no on-
portunity of communicating with
anyone alter his arrest. Bauer ad
mitted getting off the train with the
booze, but said that he did so nt. tha
request of the train porter.
GLADSTONE ENTERTAIN
MENT IS REAL SUCCESS
The Red Cross program given at
the Gladstone Christian church Sat
urday night was a big success from
every point of view. The vocal solo
of Homer Hollowell and the piano
solo of Miss Fayne Burdn were hear
tily received, and each responded to
encores. J. H. Carey, in a masterly
oration, told the people in plain words
that their duty was to the govern
mentstating that 98 of he German-Americans
were loyal to this
country, and that the 2 were the
ones we were after. Mr. Carey was
well received.
The Gladstone orchestra rendered
some snappy numbers in splendid
style. The patriotic libretto, "The
Cross Beside the Flag," was staged
to perfection, and was much enjoyed
by the large audience. The proceeds
for the evening were $47.00, which
was turned over to the Gladstone Red
Cross. Credit for the success of the
affair is being bestowed upon Mrs.
steiia Mcbetchie and Mrs. Turner,
who worked untirinirlv in their pfFnrt
for the entertainment.

war work and speakers from this
state who are in close touch with the
needs of the government as well as
local conditions to meet these needs,

FARM ORGANIZATION DOES
CONSTRUCTIVE WORK HERE
In the county court rooms Tuesday

Creek, took the proceedings.
A touinber of important - matters

Tuesday Luncheon Sees Club Out in
Good Force Matters of Much
Interest Are Passed On
At the regular Live Wire luncheon
held at the Commercial club parlors
Tuesday noon, most of the session
was taken up with patriotic move
ments. Dr. W. T. Milliken addressed
the Wires and called their attention
to the fact that it was imperative
that Oregon Ciy organize a branch
of the Loyalty league and that the
Live Wire organization was an ideal
body to handle this movement for
the city. After explaining the ob
ject of the Loyalty league and read
ing its pledge and by-laws, Dr. Mil
liken asked the Wires to take some
action for the league's further or
ganization. After some discussion on
the part of the Wires, the following
committee was named by Main Trunk
Caufield to secure members in Oregon
City: Gilbert L. Hedges, John W.
Loder, L. Adams, Dr. L. A. Morris
and G. B. Dimick.
Mrs. Robert H. Tate, representing
the Boys' and Girls' Aid society ot
the state, was present at the lun
cheon and made an appeal to the
Wires to nelp her secure from the
county court an additional sum of
money for the year 1918 above their
regular remittance for Clackamas
county. Mrs. Tate reviewed what
the society has donp during its 83
years of existence in Oregon, and
made the statement that this was the
first time in the society's history
where a direct appeal had been made
for funds. The county court has in
the past been allowing only $10 per
month as' their share of keeping up
Clackamas county dependent children
in the home and Mrs. Tate asked that
an additional sum be allowed by the
court for this year only on account
of the different activities during the
war; which is taking away to a con
siderable extent the income and help
the society generally receives. The
Wires adopted a resolution urging
the county court to increase their al
lowance from $10 to $30 per month.
According to the report read by
E. E. Brodie, who is chairman of the
Oswego Jitney committee, said re
port being furnished by the P. R. L.
& Pi company as to the jitney's earn
ings from February 5 to February
28, there will be a jitney in operation
from this city to Oswego. The report
showed that the jitney's earnings
during this period amounted to $34.
85 and the expenses incurred for the
same period was $111.65, leaving a
deficit of $76.70. The report was
filed and the committee dismissed
without further comment.
About two months ago, the Live
Wire organization was instrumental
in securing a resumption of the jit
ney between Oswego and Oregon
City. The P. R. L. & P. company
agreed to resume the ' service with
the understanding that if the jitney
paid expenses it would be permanent,
and that they would furnish the
Wires a statement at the end of a
certain period as to receipts and
disbursements, but in case the jit-

OREGON CITY MECCA
FOR SALMON ANGLERS
RUN IS HEAVY AND IDEAL CON
DITIONS BRING OUT MANY
NIMBLE SPORTSMEN
Oregon City has long been noted
as a prolific source of game for the
angler, and its record of many years
standing has been sustained during
the past week of good weather. Lit
erally hundreds of Waltonites have
swarmed over the old Willamette at
this point, in endeavors to ensnare
the wary salmon. Each day, from
real early dawn until the late twi
light, boats of many breeds dot the
rippling waters on both sides of the
bridge. Those above the bridge con
tain the trollers, and many there
are to swear by this brand of the
sport. '
. Below the bridge, and near the
point, the fleets come to anchor, and
here choice locations are always at
a premium. Especially on Sundays,
when a thousand or more people are
on the river fishing for salmon, the
boats are wedged in line as tight as
they may be, and each boat has from
one to eight lines out
A number of mighty good catches
are made. Some fishermen go out
and quickly return with their limit
of three. Other fishermen go out
and tardily return with no catch. The
weights of the fish vary from small
ones up to forty pounds. The record
of past seasons is being closely cut
to, and with the recent keen zest in
the sport it is to be expected that
old champs will pass out and new
ones heralded in.
Just before going to press, we
learn from authentic sources of a 66
pound salmon being taken from the
Willamette, at Jennings Lodge. This
fish was over five feet in length, and
took the Portland snortsmen over
the strength of two men to haul him
three hours to land him. It required
into the boat. Those who saw the
spoon on which the fish was caught
say it was chewed and battered all
out of shape. The fishermen's hands
were blistered and frayed in the
struggle. This fish breaks all records
for several seasons past. Unfor
tunately tha championsV names could
not be learned.
FAST MOTORISTS FIND SURE
ROAD TO JUSTICE COURT
Last Sunday was a beautiful day
for motoring, and hundreds took ad
vantage of the delightful scenic
trips in the county. Among this
number, of course, were the usual
fiends who could not resist the temp
tation to "step on 'er" when they
thought no officers were around.
Speed Cop Meads, however, was on
the job early, and his day's work net
ted a docket of five cases, which came
up before Judge Seivers Monday.
On the river road J. Caswell, of
Portland, was taken in for going 50
miles an hour on a motorcycle. . F.
O. Potter, also of Portland, thought
35 was about right until hailed by
Meads. Roy Freeman and Roy
Schumway, both of Portland, were
stopped and charged with speeding,
the official stop-watch shewing 38
and 45 miles an hour respectively.
G. G. Quackenbush, a garage man
from Salem, evidently thought Clack
amas county didn't care how faBt an
automobile traveled here, and slip
ped the notch up to 35 miles an hour,
when he was overtaken and listed to
appear in court here.
CITY ATTORNEYS ARGUE
TAX CASE ON TUESDAY
Attorneys for the city argued the
writ of review brought by the city
against the county, before Circuit
Judge Campbell Tuesday afternoon.
The county was represented by Dis
trict Attorney Hedges.
In this case, the city is seeking to
recover the sum of $14,000 in tax
money from the county, which they
claim as their legal per cent of road
tax. The county does not deny them
the right to the money, but contends
that the city should be considered the
same as any other road district in
the county, with the county court
overseeing the disbursements, and
applying the funds to county roads
only. The city requires the money
for municipal street work and im
provements. No decision has yet
been made by Judge Campbell.
PLEADS GUILTY AND PAYS
FINE BY MAIL TO GAME FUND
George Guistena, Molalla saw-mill
operator, was arrested recently by
Game Warden Roy Brommer, on a
charge of throwing saw-dust in Rock
Creek. Mr. Guistena, who is a for
eigner, stated that he was not fa
miliar with the law, and as he was
very busy with his mill work at this
time, he mailed a written admission
of his guilt, together wth a check for
$25 to cover the minimum penalty, to
the Justice of the Peace here.
District Attorney Hedges nied a
complaint, at the same time recom
mending the minimum sentence, as
this was his first offence, and the
fine money was accepted, and the case
dropped.

FRUITFUL METHODS TO

FARM HELP PROBLEM SERIOUS
Government Officials Take Up Ques
tion of Securing Competent Aid
at Harvest Time
(By R. W. Arens)
Many communities arc solving their
labor problems this spring by plan
ning their work so that they could
help one another whenever such co
operative help is needed.
Our government is doing a great
work in aiding the farmer raise all
the food-stuffs possible, and a bill
nuts juBb utu puaseu pruviuiug j.ui:
the use of soldiers to aid in the farm .
work. This class of labor, however,
can be secured only in emergencies,..
and the county agriculturist agent
has blanks to be filled out by those
seeking the soldiers' assistance. .
Tell your troubles to the county
agent We will probably be able to
help you -as the Federal Labor Bu
reau has filled 75 of the recent ap- '
plications for farm help . E. H. -
Thomson head of the farm manage
ment office of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, in speaking of the
present labor crisis, says:
"In the present world crisis only
those efforts should be carried on
which have a direct bearing on the
successful conduct of the war. These
efforts, in the main, are confined to
military preparations and the produc- ,
tion of food and clothing for our
allies and ourselves. The aim on
every farm should be to confine all
efforts to those crops and live stock
which are contributing directly to
the food program and to dismiss all
possible work which can be postpon
ed until the crisis in food production -
"The most essential farm opera
tions are necessarily the preparation
of the land, the planting, and the har
vesting. It is perfectly evident that
facilities for accomplishing this work
are much more satisfactory and effic
ient on some farms than on others
within a given community. A plan,
therefore, whereby all farmers in a
community would consider these ne
cessary operations as a whole lor the
region, and whereby all would work
toward completing these operations
before engaging in less essential
work, should result in a marked in
crease in food production.
"When it comes to harvesting, the
pooling of community farm interests
is even more necessary and beneficial,
because on such work the greater ef
ficiency gained through larger crews
and larger machines is a most im
portant factor. For instance, in a
neighborhood there may be one farm
having 150 acres of hay to harvest,
surrounded by three farms having 25

city preceding the night of the raffle.
At the last night meeting a num

to Guard members who had not been
attending the sessions, urging them
to bring in something for the bazaar.
Plans for the event were discussed,

was drowned in February in the
Clackamas river, and whose body was
recovered in the Willamette a few
days ago, were held at the Gladstone
Baptist church on last Friday. The
church was filled to capacity by the
many friends of the boy, who was
about 11 years of age. The Gladstone
school students attended in a body,
and many and beautiful were the
floral offerings which decorated the
casket and the grave.
