DISLOYALIST IS REPENTENT
Prosperous Citizen's Refusal to Aid
War Program of Nation Leads
to His Castigation
As the culmination of a series of
disloyal acts and remarks, E. E. Kel
logg, well known Mt. Pleasant farm
er, yvas taken to the Abernethy can
yon, three miles from his home on
midnight Wednesday night and given
a coat of tar and feathers by a com
mittee of 25 men in automobiles. The
men were from Oregon City and the
surrounding districts, and were de
termined in their efforts to give the
anti-government slacker a severe les
son. Kellogg is said to have, begged
hard to be allowed to purchase Lib
erty bonds, donate to the Red Cross,
or anything else which the commit
tee might set as a redemptive meas
ure. No variance in the program as
outlined was made, however, and the
sticky and feathery mass was appli
ed in the good old fashioned, frontier
way. His entreaties that he be al
lowed to ride home were even un
availing, and he was left after the
ceremonies to make his way on foot
from the" dark canyon to his home,
three miles distant.
Who the leaders of the vigilantes
were could not be ascertained. A
number of prominent people had in
terviewed Kellogg in vain endeavors
to get him to join the various patri
otic endeavors, and he had refused to
subscribe to-the Liberty loans while
well able to invest, as he helds ex
tensive property interests. He is
charged with making the statement
that the funds donated to the Red
Cross were squandered, and that-the
Red Cross was secretly aiding the
Bilsheviki movements in Russia. Hu
strdfastly refused to sign the pledge
of allegiance to the American Loyal
ty League, and is said to have refus
ed to plant wheat this year, as a
method of hindrance to the war food
program of the government.
Trouble for Kellogg had been
brewing for some time, as loyal cit
izens of the community were bitter
in their denunciation- of his pro
nounced pro-enemy views. The Am
erican Loyalty League has made a
valinnt effort to prevent such pro
ceedings as the tar and feather pro
gram, and Kellogg was given every
opportunity to join the league and
declare his intention to adhere to the
line of a loyal citizen's duty. At one
other time, at a patriotic meeting
here, the recent wearer of fowl
feathers was roughly handled by a
squad of Civil war veterans, when he
was the only man in a crowded hall
to refuse to stand while the nation
al anthem was being sung. He bare
ly escaped a dressing of pillow-stuffing
at that time, and ever since then
the affair of Wednesday nigTit had
been on the ferment
CLACKAMAS COUNTY CALLS
189 MORE MEN TO CLASS 1
Another million of fighting men
signed up with Uncle Saml So goes
the message across the land 'and sea,
and to the ears of the quavering
Huns. A million members , of an
inert mass of civilians mobilized in
to an active and effective army,
through the work of the selective
service in the registration of 21 year
old men on June 5th. Up to date,
and including those called already
this month, the United States has
drawn from the previous 10 million
registrants to the amount of 1,595,
708, from the class one ranks. In
Clackamas county the registration on
June 5th comprised 189 young men.
An interesting feature of this coun
ty's list is that but 6 were aliens,
and the entire number were white.
In speaking of .the work of the
registration bgards, Marshal General
Crowder says, " they have already
produced as soldiers one man out of
every six registrants, and the world
stands in profound astonishment as it
views this accomplishment. "
Following are the new Clackamas

registered with the war board here

MILL WORKER GIVEN
DAMAGES BY JURY
A. E. JOYNER GRANTED $1,500.00
FROM CROWN-WILLAMETTE
FOR ACCIDENT
After being out an hour and a
half, a circuit court jury Tuesday
afternoon brought in a verdict of
$1500 against the defendents in the
case of A. E. Joyner versus the Crown
Willamette paper company. Joyner
had sued for $1999.98, as damage for
an accident sustained while employed
as a truckman at the paper mill. The
reason for the odd sum, is that any
thing less than a $2000 case cannot
be heard in another court on a change
of venue.
It was alleged that while wheeling
pulp, Joyner stepped into a hole in a
defective floor, and sustained internal
injuries of a permanent' nature. The
defendent company, while denying
the charges of a defective flooring,
based their main reliance on the
statute of limitation, claiming that
the acident happened more than two
years prior to the filing of the action.
Company records and time checks
were introduced as evidence tending
to substantiate this, Joyner claimed
that the accident happened in Jan
uary, 1916, and that the suit was
filed in January of this year.
The jury hearing the case was
composed of A. L. Heacock, foreman,
V. H. Dunton, George Eberley, ti. J.
Ziegler, C. W. Swallow, Harry Le
Prater, T. J. Wirtz, James Wanker,
C. W. Birchett, and George Staben.
Brpwnell and Sievers appeared for
the plaintiff, and Dimick and Dimick
represented the defendents. ,
LOCAL BANK JOINS THE
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
The Bank of Oregon City is the
latest bank, in Oregon to become a
full fledged member of the Federal
Reserve System.
In making the announcement that
their application had been granted,
che officials of the bank stated that
the purpose in joining the system at
this time was one which could be
summed up in two words, patriotism
and preparedness. Sometime . ago
President Wilson uttered a broadcast
appeal to the Btate banking institu-
,.on3 jof the. country to become mem
jer3 and thus co-operate to the full
est extent in mobilizing the resourc
es and centralizing the banking
power of the nation. The Bank of
Oregon City is the. tenth in the state
to fall in line, though many of the
one hundred and eighty state banks
are seriously considering the matter
t this time.
As a reserve for the reserves of the
jariks and outlet for such securities
as come within the specified limits
of the system an elasticity of cur
rency is provided which works to the
welfare of the country in this' war
time," and to the upbuilding of com
munity and industrial interests.
UNCLE SAM INVITES, THEN
INSISTS, ON AERO CALLS
In a recent call for volunteers for
laborers, but one class one man took
advantage of the opportunity to
join the aero corps, with the result
that the local exemption board was
notified to draft ten more men from
the limited service ranks of class one
to make up the deficiency. Those in
the Wednesday call are:
Norman Crowley, Barlow; Louie
Vern Dart, Grand Island, Neb.; Giu
seppe Garbanno, Milwaukie; Frank
Thurman Hunter, Clackamas; Bert
Noli, Milwaukie; Chauncey Lloyd
Blosser, Hubbard; Mike Joseph Pe
ringer, North Yakima; Walter Char
les Moore, Oregon City; Labrot Scott
Edwards, Portland; Benjamin Isaac
Hoover, Portland; James Martin
Hesler, Portland. The substitutes
are Floyd B. Holden, Oregon City,
and Carl Rowland Clark, of Barton.
The boys will depart on June 30th
for Vancouver Barracks, and from
there will be assigned to an aeronau
tical ground school, for service as
laborers.
YOUNG HOOD RIVER MAN
SENTENCED FOR CRIME
In what is- said to be the first de
cision of its kind in the state. Judge
Campbell on Wednesday afternoon
sentenced Uel Parker, charged with,
a statuatory offense against a young
Clackamas county girl, to pay the
mother of his unborn child the sum
of $100 annually during the first two
years of the child's life, and there
after, and until it reaches the age of
14 years, he shall pay the sum of
$150 each year to the mother.
Parker, a young married man from
Hood River, was unable to give a
bond guaranteeing the payments and
was remanded to jail. He was releas
ed last week and given opportunity to
make a suitable settlement with the
mother, but was unable to comply
with the demands. His sentence of
yesterday afternoon is in line with
the 1917 il-legitimate child act of the
Oregon Legislature.
Pendleton Folks on Visit
Mrs. Guy Johnson, and little
daughter, Winnifred, of Pendleton,

FARMER
MASTER
OREGON STATE GRANGE KEEPS
C. E. SPENCE ON THE JOB
AS HEAD OFFICER
HAS SERVED EIGHT TERMS
Semi-Annual State Meet at Salem
Puts Over Progressive Legisla
tion in Four Day Session
C. E. Spence
The semi-annual, four-day session
of the Oregon State Grange was held
at Salem, on June 4, 5, 6 and 7, and
was marked by much progressive
legislation.
Perhaps the most turbulent part
of the activities was the advocation
f recognition of the Non-Partisan
League. After much acrid contro
versy, the proposition to indorse this
political body was lost by an over
whelming vote. A hard fight was
put up to retain the Grange's ack
nowledgement of the Non - Partisan
'eague, made at their last session at
Astoria. ', y f .
With the squashing of the Non
partisan measure, it was freely pre
dicted by the outsiders and the press
"f the state that Mr. Spence's defeat
for the retention of office would fol
low as a matter of course. But great
was the surprise when the result of
he closed door ballot showed him an
sasy winner over J. J. Johnson, a
Portland attorney, by a margin al
most as great as that which defeat
ed the Non-Partisan amalgamation.
Thus, in re-electing C. E. Spence
for the fifth consecutive term, as
Master of the State Grange of Ore
gon, and fully awaree . of his pro
nounced tendencies, the convention
proved that their organization is a
body without political influence. In
retaining Mf. Spence they put the
stamp of approval on the work of a
farmer for the head of their institu
tion, and while he was rebuked by
the vote of his fellow-workers on the
political points, the landslide in his
favor for the Mastership more than
made up for what odium may have
been cast at the league-partisanship
program.
During his five terms of office
Master Spence has made good. Hi?
work has been above reproach, and
his co-workers in the field of agri
culture and animal husbandry made
further acknowledgement of his abil-
ty by increasing his salary from
$300 a year to $1200 a year, with an
additional $1500 for expenses, so
that he may now devote his entire
time to the work of his office.
Master Spence's fearless advoca
tion of essential legislation was a
strong factor figuring in his re-election.
His attacks on the state ad
ministration for their action on the
Gold Hill lime proposition, and th
legislative appropriation for the
Northwest Tourist Association, won
for him the approval of farmers all
over the Northwest. His barbed de
nunciation of the State Land Board
for its refusal to sell rural credits
bonds below par for the benefit of
the farmer, while they stood for
road bonds to be sold at 92 cents on
the dollar for the road-bonding is
sue, was a winning feature of his
regime. His hard and faithful work
in maintaining the organization to a
point of high efficiency has been rec
ognized by the Grange. He is, first,
last and all the time, a patriot, a
farmer, and a loyal citizen. These
were the factors making for the de
cision in his favor.
In another quarter a fight was ex
pected, which failed td materialize,
Mrs. Mary S. Howard, of Mulino,
this county, was re-elected as sec
retary, an office which' she has suc
cessfully and capably filled for the
past ten years. The vote in her
favor was like the seal of recognition
of faithful and ardent service, im
pressed on the annals of the organi
zation's activities. Mrs. Howard has
been a progressive secretary. She
has kept her work to the top-notch
of efficiency, and the Oregon State
Grange is an organization to appre
ciate merit.
As an independent corporation for
the advancement of the farmer's
status, the Grange is appropriately
led by workers of the soil. And in

FLAG DAY SERVICES
HELD BY ELK LODGE
APPROPRIATE PROGRAM WILL
MARK ANNIVERSARY OF
-OLD GLORY'S BIRTH
National Flag Day, June 14th, has
been observed with appropriate ser
vices throughout the United States
for the past several years, as a
tribute to the everlasting glory of
the stars and stripes. The day as
a holiday is not recognized by bank
ing, governmental, or commercial in
stitutions, but various fraternal
orders have been leading spirits in
consecrating the day to a remem
brance of the holy foundation of our
banner. In the B. P. O. E. lodge it
is a part of their annual ritualistic
program.
It was on June 14, in the year 1777
that the United States Congress
passed a resolution declaring that
"the flag of the thirteen United
States be stripes alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field." In 1794
in honor of the admission of Ver
mont and Kentucky to the Union, it
was decreed that the stripes and
stars be increased to fifteen. It was
then planned to add a stripe and a
star for each state admitted, but it
was soon evident that the flag would
be too large, and in 1818 it was de
cided to go back to the original 13
stripes, with an additional star for
each state admitted.
According to tradition, the first
flag, known as "the stars and
stripes," was made by Mrs. Betsy
Ross, of Philadelphia, about whom
succeeding years have thrown a
glamour of patriotic romance.
At the Flag Day exercises of the
local B. P. O. E., to be held Friday
evening, the speaker of the day will
be Barnett H. Goldstein, Assistant
U. S. Attorney,' from Portland. The
program will be staged at the Lib
erty Temple, and. will be of excep
tional merit. The Home Guard band
will furnish the music, and elaborate
decorations are being arranged. Dis
trict Attorney uuoert L. Metres will
deliver the Elk's Tribute to the Flag.
The' committee in charge, with
Thomas A. Burke as chairman, asks
that all members assemble at the
'edge rooms and march in a body to
the Liberty Temple, at 7;$5 Friday
ivenirg. Exalted Ruler Ben L. Beard
will preside at the ceremonies.
PATRIOTIC LEAGUE WILL
COLLECT FOR WAR BENEFIT
Three-fold is the purpose of the
Oregon Thrift campaign, announced
jy the Patriotic Conservation League
beginning June 28th, in the muster
ing of waste ' materials from every
home and hamlet in the state, with
school children as a ready regiment
for the promotion of the enterprise.
The Patriotic Conservation League,
xt its headquarters in Portland, will
.eceive shipments of waste materials
from every community, paying there
ior at the highest marKet rate, in

of War Savings stamps, to provide
a fund for the welfare of Oregon
boys summoned to service, and to
unserve war materials for America.
In each community the supervision
of the work will be in charge of the
War Savings stamp representative,
and it is proposed to ship the collect
ed materials in carload consignments
co the League at Portland. Individ
ual shipments may be made, however.
In any case the name of the sender,
with complete address, should ap
pear on every package, in order that
proper payment may be made.
The materials that uregon school
children and citizens are urged to
collect, with the prices per pound
that will be paid therefor, are as fol
lows: Copper wire, free of hair wire, 21

of waste received by the Patriotic
Conservation League will be retain
ed' as a commission to establish a
budget for the entertainment of Ore
gon soldiers and men of the selec
tive draft who are leaving for the
training camps and the front. It is
estimated that from $3000 to $5000
will be needed for this purpose, and
every young patriot who sends in a
pound of metal or rubber, will know
that he has borne his share in the
farewell tendered to Oregon men who
are to serve in France. Should a
surplus exist it will be devoted to the
Reed College fund lor the reconstruc
tion work for wounded soldiers.

EfllETT L ALLEN
DROWNS IN
PORTLANDER LOSES LIFE IN
ATTEMPT TO RESCUE MISS
WILLA WOODFIN
TRAGEDY OCCURS ON SUNDAY
Thrilling Episode in Clackamas River
Costs Life of Young Ship
Yard Worker
In a heroic attempt to save the
life of Miss Wilma Woodfin from a
watery grave in the Clackamas river
last Sunday afternoon, Emmett L.
Allen, an employe of the Northwest
Ship Yards, residing at 930 Hood
street, Portland, was drowned, after
reaching the struggling girl and sup
porting her to a point within 20 feet
from shore.
Although Allen lost his life en
deavoring to save the girl, she was
rescued from death by the timely as
sistance of Leonard Bayless, also of
Portland, who was picnicing nearby.
The accident oocurred at 3:30 in
the afternoon, just beelow the South
ern Pacific bridge across the Clacka
mas river, between Parkplace and
Gladstone.
Miss Woodfin has resided in
this city nearly all her life, but
had moved to Portland two months
ago. She was spending the day visit
ing here, and in company with Miss
Marie Lucas and Miss Helen Lucas.of
Parkplace, had gone to the river for
a dip. All three of the girls are pro
ficient swimmers, although Miss
Woodfin was. not used to the colder
water of the Clackamas. The Lucas
girls have swam the river at Park
place a number of times, and were
able to withstand the chill.
In an eeffort to swim from the
Parkplace side across to Gladstone,
Miss Helen Lucas and Miss Woodfin
struck out, and when about half way,
where the swift current comes in,
Miss Lucas heard her companion say
she could go no further. She was
told io. turnover and float, and Mis
Lucas made a valiant effort to sup
port her,, but to no avail in the swif'
stream. Just as Miss Woodfin was
preparing to float, a wave struck her
in the face, causing her to swallow
considerable water, and she was seen
to go under. Then Miss Lucas gave
the alarm, and Mr. Allen, who was
fishing from the shore on the Glad
stone side, in company with his
wife, struck out after the drowning
girl. Miss Lucas says' that he did
not stop to take 'off either his coat
or his boots, and while he started out
strong, by the time he passed her he
was considerably winded, and was
heard, to groan. But a short time
before he had partaken of a (hearty
ll'rpjl onrl fViio AnYla4 until tV, a
chill of the icy water, was more than
he could stand.
After reaching Miss Woodfin, he
supported her for several yards,
back toward the Parkplace shore,
where the current was not so swift.
When about -twenty feet from the
bank, he was heard to shout, "I
can't stand it boys, I'm gone," and
he raised his hands and sank.
Leonard Bayless, another Portland-
er, was a little ways below, and as
he saw Allen go down, he hurriedly
kicked off his shoes and made his
way to the side of the struggling
girl, who was abount to go under
again. He got her safely to shore,
with the assistance of two men and
a skiff which was nearby, but Allen
did not again appear on the surface.
His body was located a few hun
dred feet below by George Himler, a
Parkplace fisherman, and a young
lad dived down and brought it to the
top. The body was in about 12 feet
of water. A physician and a nurse,
with a pulmotor, were hastened to
the scene by the Portland, Railway,
Light & Power company, but after
working for an hour it was seen that
efforts at resuscitation were unavail
ing. The remains were brought to
this city, but were later, removed to
the Miller and Tracy Undertaking es
tablishment in Portland.
'Besides a wife, Allen is survived
by his father and mother. He was
about 40 years of age.
Miss Woodfin, whose nerves were
badly shattered by the accident, was
taken to the Lucas home, where she
rested until six o'clock Monday even
ing, when she returned to Portland.
RAP ON THE HEAD WITH
HOSE RAISES BIG RUMPUS
Andy Fromong was recently fined
$50 and costs, as a result of his
pleading guilty in Judge Campbell's
court to the charge of assault and
battery, preferred by Chas. Sneidow.
With the payment of the costs of the
action, the fine was remitted.
Fromong and Sneidow engaged in
a quarrel on the Willamette street
car last winter, over the strike situ
ation in the paper mills here, and
during the altercation, Fromong was
alleged to have struck Sneidow a
hard blow across the head with a
short piece of hose. He was indict
ed by the April grand jury, and
pleaded guilty at the conclusion of
the evidence, taken at the trial on
Wednesday.
SWEEPING LAWS TO
REQUIRE REAL WORK
ALL REGISTRANTS MUST ENTER
SOME ESSENTIAL LINE OF
INDUSTRY OR FIGHT
All men subject to draft hereafter
"must do a man s work or fight.
This rule, operative July 1, pro
vides that all loafers and men not in
useful occupations, who are listed in
deferred draft classes, must engage
in useful war work or be drafted in
to the fighting service.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has announced the plan for this new
system. It will seize at once upon
gamblers, racetrack men, waiters,
bartenders, club, hotel and apart
ment attendants, persons engaged
or occupied in games, sports or
amusements (with some exceptions),
domestic servants, sales and other
clerks of department stores and mer
cantile establishments.
Dependency exemptions will not
protect men thus classified.
. The local board, with Sheriff Wil
son at the head, will conduct the
weeding out process here. They are
empowered to summon before them
the idlers and the non-essential
workers listed above, give them a
chance to explain their pursuance of
non-useful war occupation and if
they fail, draft them into the army.
Besides the idlers, the following
classes of livelihood were named by
General Crowder as being closed to
draft registrants after July 1:
1. Gamblers of all types, employ
es and attendants of bucketshops and
ra'cetracls, fortune-tellers, clairvoy
ants, palmists and the like.

A crowded court-room Wednesday

ed her great humiliation, by forcibly
kissing her, in February of this year,
at the school house in Oak Grove,
where she was assisting hfim in
some work. The jury deliberated for
a quarter of an hour, and brought
in a verdict of complete vindication
for Mr. Guthrie.
Miss Bullard and her father were
the chief complaining witnesses. The
testimony of. another school girl was
taken, showing that she had noticed
the wrought-up condition of Miss
Bullard at the time. Prof. Guthrie
denied the charges, and introduced
evidence to show his good reputa
tion. It was brought out at the trial
that he is soon to leave for France
as 8 Y. M. C. A. secretary. He had
been re-employed by the Oak Grove
school board, who investigated the
charges Some time ago, and was giv
en a raise in salary to retain him for
the position.
Brownell & Sievers represented the
plaintiff, and Crawford and Campbell
the defendant.
