Newspaper Page Texti n ani OR CITY COUlffi 36th Year OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1918 Number 36 isgom LOST CHILD IS STILL BAFFLING MYSTERY NO CLUE FOUND AND PARTIES . ARE STILL SEARCHING IN ,. LOGAN COUNTRY Mystery still surrounds the disap pearance of the little five-year-old Thompson child, who disappeared in the Logan country Friday, v while waiting for his mother along tne - road side. Hundreds of people of this city and .county have searched every foot of the ground in . the neighborhood where the child disap peared, but no trace has been found. The boy was last seen when a party from Portland, who drove his machine over the road on his, way to Portland, and claimed that he saw the lad sitting by the road side as he drove by. Since that time, no clue has been ; discovered, and the officiate have been baffled, and are at a loss to explain the child's where abouts. It was reported on the streets here Monday that' word had been received from the child's father, who lives in Portland, that the lad was with him, but upon investigation of the rumor, it was found that this was not true. Both the father and the mother of the child have been searching dili gently for the past several days. . The only theory that has been ad vanced so far, is that the child has been picked up by some passing traveler who has not heard as yet of the search for the child. Parties are still searching today, and while some think that the boy had walked ,to the river and was accidently drowned, tlfcs officials claim that the distance to the river from where the boy was left in the road is over a mile and a half, and even if the child had gone in that direction, he would have met his mother, who was driving a team, before he could have reached the riverj for in order to get to the river, the lad would have to follow the road at that point. OFFICERS NAB .BOOTLEGGER WITH ABOUT 15 GALLONS When the 10:30 Southern Pacific train pulled into Milwaukie Monday night, a large bundle of bedding was thrown off by the baggage man, and : in a few-minutes a man by the name of S. Yeamakawa arrived, to claim it. Just as he started away with the bundle, he was nabbed by Sheriff Wilson and Deputy Meads, and upon investigation, the officers, found 10 gallons of whiskey, put up in 2 quart hot water bottles inside of the bedding. 'After the bedding was gone over, the officers went down the track where they found several packages which had been thrown off the train as it was nearing Milwaukie, contain ing in all about 60 pints of booze. The packages had been packed se curely to keep theJ bottles from breaking, and nearly all of the bot tles were unbroken, although two or three had broken when the packages fell from the moving train. The hot water bottles were all , new, and were of the best of rubber and su well filled that they . made no noise when shake-i. Sheriff Wilson is of the opinion .hat the bootlegger is an old hand at the business. He was brought to Oregon City, and was re leased on $100 bail, furnished by friends in Portland, who arrived here Monday night, and put up the cash bail. " '' FEW SCHOOLS REMAIN CLOSED IN COUNTY SINCE BAN LIFTED Although the ban has been lifted in the county for the influenza epi demic, several schools in different districts have not resumed.

HISTORY IS MADE DLY NOWADAYS PEOPLES COMING INTO THEIR OWN POLAND AWAKENING TO POSSIBILITIES MANY NATIONS ARE RESTORED Bulgaria Alone to Remain Unchanged Italy Will Add to Possessions As Also Rumania v , (By Dr. Milliken) -History is being made very rapid ly these days. The mistakes of cen turies are being corrected. Peoples who have been under subjection to other races are coming to their own, When the war is settled there will be half a dozen old nations and nation al units restored, Poland, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Ukraine, Geor gia, the restoration of Alsace-Lor raine to France and Schleswig to Denmark. The original provinces of German-Austria will probably seek union with Germany, to which they ethically belong. There will be a new and vastly larger Serbia or Jugo slavia (South Slavia), a new Bohem ia (Czecho-Slovakia), and Albania the enlargement .of Italy by the ad dition of the ancient Italian proving es of Frentine and Trieste. Bulgaria alone of the central states will remain unchanged. Turkey-in-Europe will be either internationalized or given over to Greece, where it rightfully be longs, and Rumania will receive tne province of Bessarabia from Russia and Transylvania from Hungary. The result will be a new Serbia with elev en millions of a population. Serbia had, at the outbreak of the war, about six. and a half millions. Bul garia will have about five millions. Rumania will have about eleven mil lions over against her present seven and a half millions. Poland will have some fourteen or fifteen millions. To day Poland is just awakening to the vision of her future possibilities Czecho-Slovakia will have some eight or nine million people. Serbia long sought an Adriatic seaport, of which Austria robbed her again ana again. Now she will occupy the whole eastern shore of the Adriatic from near Trieste to Albania, and will have a territory only a little less in extent than that of Italy. The new Germany will lose Poland, Schleswig, Alsace and Lorraine, and all, or most, of her colonial possessions. Doubt less she will also lose part of Siles ia, which is inhabited by Poles and Czechs. She probably will . gain the German-Austrian provinces of Up per and Lower Austria, Styria, Salz burg and that part of the Tyrol ly ing north of the Trentino. Her ter ritory will be a little less than at present, her population will be nearly the same, and she Wil have made1 the decided gain of getting rid of a large unwilling population, or better still, of exchanging them for a willing one. With the partition of Austria and the rise of the new Serbia and Poland comes the absolute end of the Ger man dream of a Teutonic "Mittel Europa." The path to the Persian Gulf is forever blocked by hostile peoples. : The Black Sea is now "High Seas" and not a Turco-Russian lake. The last" of the ancient world empires has fallen, and the reign of Democracy has begun upon the earth. Bill Hohenzollern may attempt to fol low in the footsteps of his robber baron ancestors and re-steal the reins of authority in Germany, but he has proven a tinsel imitation of Napoleon Bonaparte all the way through, and if Napoleon failed to come back Bill has about as much (Continued on Page 6) PLEADS GUILTY TO ASSAULT AND IS GIVEN 1 YEAR IN JAIL Thomas Hammond pled guilty to the charge of assault with a dan gerous weapon.

Eby, sub-trunk; ' Dr. Clyde Mount, transmission wire; Percy Caufield, guy wire; Rev. W. .T, Milliken,' Chap lin. , . Alter the meeting was turned over to the new officers the subject of the proposed) advance in the telephone rates was brought up and a commit tee composed of W. A. Huntley, C. Schuebel, A. R.

Morris was appointed to make an investigation of the proposed advance by the tele phone company, and report back to the Wires at the next regular meet ing next Tuesday. , O. D. Eby, chairman of the bean committee, made a report at the meeting, and stated that the bean crop planted by the organization last summer, which produced about 2600 pounds of beans, was still on hand, and that the committee was holding the crop for a favorable opportunity to dispose of them at a price that would meet expenses of the planting and harvesting of , the crop by the organization.
