. Mayor Holman Monday issued a
proclamation ordering the suspension
of all dances in this city until such
time as the present epidemic of in
fluenza in this city moderates.
County Health Officer Dr. Strickland

ease here, bringing the epidemic
from Portland, where the disease is
raging.
Sheriff Wilson Monday morning
arrested two colored people on a war
rant issued from Portland, and both
were lodged in the city jail here
awaiting further enlightenment on
the case. The colored young woman,
who gave tier name' as Miss Susie
Perry, was accompanied by a color
ed gentleman by the name of P. H,
Edwards, and both were arrested on
complaint of a Mr. Perry, who claims
that Miss Susie Perry is his Jawful
wedded wife, and that she ran away
with Edwards some time ago.
When arrested Monday morning,
Edward claims that he and Miss
Perry were in California, when the
woman received word from the dis
trict 'attorney's office in Portland
that she was wanted as a witness.
He claims that the Portland author!
ties sent her a ticket to come back,
and that he accompanied her. When
they arrived at ' Salem, 1 Edwards
claims that a colored man by the
name of Perry got on the train and
accosted him fpr ' being in 'company
with his wife. Trouble started and
both Edwards andJMiss Perry got off
here, the other man going to, Port
land and swearing out a warrant for
their arrest. Edwards claims that
the woman told him that she
was single, and that the reason she
was wanted in Portland was that
she knew something of the recent
holdup at that place of a pool hall
some time ago by several negroes.
They were later taken to Portland
and turned over to the officers there,

Railway Light & Power company,
and prominent citizens of Canemah,
held a meeting in the court, house
Wednesday for the purpose of dis-
cussing the removal of the street car
tracks between this. city and Canemah
The question was brought to the at
tention of the company and Canemah
citizens by the State Highway com
mission, who claimed that if the
highway came through this stretch
of road with hard surface, the pres
ent tracks made the road so narrow
and dangerous that it would not be
advisable for traffic. After discuss
ing the matter, nothing was done.
but the sentiment of the Canemah
citizens was to the effect that they
were willing to have a jitney serv
ice substituted in place of the street
car, providing that the railway com
pany would take up all tracks and
not leave a track in the street for
switching purposes. Representatives
of the company announced that the
company's policy in the matter
would be fais to all, and that they
had no intention of playing anything
but fair in. the matter. Mayor Hol
man and several councilmen of this
city also attended the meeting..
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Will Go Back to Former Quarters on
Fourth Floor of Masonic Build
ing; Much Work Planned
At the annual meeting of the Com
mercial club members held- Wednes
day night fh the Commercial club
parlors, it was decided by a vote oi
25 to 5 to move the club rooms to
the fourth floor of the .Masonic
building and vacate the present quar
ters. This will be done in the course
Of a month, and at the meeting it
appeared to be the unanimous opin
ion of those present that the Mason
ic building will be the best quarters
for the next five years. The Com
mercial club rooms were at one time
in the Masonic building, but at the
ex oi ration of the lease about five
vears ago. the members decided to
move into the present quarters in tne
Weinhard building.
At the meeting, M.'D. Latourette,
Raymond P. Caufield and . Arthur
Rugg. were elected to the board of
governors of the club by a unani
mous vote, O. D. Eby and T. W.
Sullivan, retiring and refusing to
again become candidates for reelec
tion. , ,
M. D. Latourette was again elect
ed as president of the club, this be
ing his second term, and Jos. E.
Hedges was ' elected vice-president.
Ravmond V. Caufield was elected
treasurer, and E. E. Brodie, secre
tarv. to succeed himself. It was vot
ed to affiliate the club with the new
ly organized Oregon State Chamber
of Commerce upon motion oi u
Adams.
M. D. Latourette, president of the
club, gave an address in which he
called the club's attention to the fact
that, the coming year, will be most
active for. the organization 'of , all
years, as the soldiers coming home
and the question of work for them
will take up much of the activities
of the club in solving this vital ques
tion. ' '
Mr. Latourette said that the club
should be proud of the fact that Ore
gon City Jias been, first in all Liberty
Loan drives and other war activities
during the past three -years, and that
the Commercial club had much to do
with the success of the war work in
this county. He pointed out that the
local paper mills and the woolen
mills in this city should be encourag
ed by the organization to enlarge
their plants, and the saw mills of the
county should also, have the support
of the club in getting out the mil
lions of feet of lumber for building
purposes during the next three years.
Although the past two yers have
been devoted to war work and the
conserving of funds, both by the club
and the publicity department, Mr.
Latourette claimed that the coming
year will find the club more active in
the development of the county and
attracting new business interests
and farmers to Clackamas county
and Oregon City. .
Mr. Latourette recommended a paid
fire department for the city, and
claimed that in this respect, Oregon
City is far. behind in the matter of
fire protection. Many other matters
were touched upon by Mr. Latourette,
and -at the conclusion of his address,
he was given a warm ovation.

LETTER RECEIVED FROM
JONES, THOUGHT DEAD
Although the name of Griffith
Jones, of Clackamas county, appear
ed on the casualty list from France
Tuesday, friends of the young man
think that this is 'a mistake, for let
ters have been received from him re
cently telling of his well being. An
uncle, William Jones, or Beaver
Creek, has a letter from the boy dat
ed November 11, the day of the sign
ing of the armistice, and several
other friends have received letters
of more recent date that lead them
to believe that a mistake has been
made in the casualty report. In a
letter dated December 15, he states
that he has come through the big
battle without a scratch, and is in
the best of health.
The will of Emily E. Wingfield,
deceased, which was contested in the
circuit court here by Anna Daugh
erty and Sarah J. Lawson, daugh
ters, and Arthur Carter, grandson of
deceased, the suit was won by the
defendants, W.. A. Dimick, admims
trator, Mary Boyles and Maude E
Marts. W. A, Dimick, was appoint
or! arlminiafrntor nf thp will nrirf
when it was probated the will' left
Arthur Carter, grandson, $1; Mary
Boyles, daughter, $150; Anna A
Daugherty, daughter, $150; Sarah J
Lawson, daughter, $200; and the
balance of the estate to Maude
Marts, daughter of deceased. The
estate amounted to $5,200. The
plaintiffs contested the will on the
grounds that deceased, Emily E,
Wingfield, was incompetent at the
t'me of making the will, pointing out
that defeased was 71 years of age
at the time, and asking that the will
be set aside. Many prominent citi
zens of the Molalla district testified
at the trial as to the competency of
the deceased at the time of her
death.
Car Schedule Broken
Regular street car service between
this city and Portland was off the
schedule Friday up until noon, due to
trouble in the P. R. L. & P. com
pany's plant here. An effort was
made during the morning by the
company to get back on the old
schedule, but it was noon before
cars were running as usual.

Class legislation is always danger
ous legislation. Among the. strong
est smelling pieces of rottenness in
bygone legislation has been lawmak-f
ing of this sort. "Privileged class
es" have striven to hog everything
from steel to sole-leather, and more
thart once they have pretty nearly
succeeded. .
And now comes the Bolshevik!. A
writer in the Saturday Evening Post
says that the Bolsheviki are the in
dividuals who have turned over the
rotten mess of politics, and who
fondly imagine that they have creat
ed a new world because they have
brought to the surface a new smeli.
Under our present class system every
man has a vote, and the majority can
rule. The Bolsheviki rob every man
of arms, liberty, the ballot, and any
say whatever in public affairs un
less he is a toiler with the hands. In
Russia theyare even shutting out all
the toilers who do not agree with
them. Now co'mes Trotsky, who im
prisons Lenine because the latter
wishes to give the Menshiviki (a
little less radical group) a share in
affairs. Everything from haircut to
latest style of thinking and religion
must be poured into the Bolshevik
cast, and if it fails by a hair's
breadth in conformity it goes to the
discard. Our present class rule can
be remedied any time the majority
get together to rectify it. Bolshevik
class rule has absolutely no redress,
for it means the disenfranchisement
of all dissenters. We might as well
Night Officer Surfus had a nar
row escape from drowning in the
Willamette river late Saturday night
in a runaway automobile. While he
was on Washington street on his way
down town, he noticed an auto on
the road without a tail light. Step
ping, into the street, Surfus ordered
the driver to stop, but instead of
stopping, the driver "stepped on the
gas" and escaped. Later, as the of
ficer was making his rounds down
town, he ran into the driver walking
on Main street, and accosted him,
asking where the car was.
The driver, who gave his name as
Gilbert Strum, replied that the car
was in a nearby street, so placing
the young man under arrest, Surfus
compelled Strum to accompany him
to- the car and drive the machine into
the courthouse yard. Strum was
driving the car and, as they neared
the courthouse alley, which is paved,
Surfus directed him to turn in, which
Strum did, but just as the turn was
made into the alley Strum quietly
opened the door of the machine on
the driver'B side, turned on the gas,
and jumped, escaping. Officer Sur
fus, realizing that the car was head
ed for the river, which is at the end
of the alley, seized the steering gear,
and ran the car into a wood pile .back
of the courthouse, crashing into the
wood at a high rate of speed. The
car was somewhat wrecked. It was
found out later that the machine,
which was a Buick, was stolen from
Dr. R. A. Phelps, of Portland.
Strum, who stole the car, said at
the time of his arrest, that his fath
er was in the wholesale business in
Portland. He was dressed in a uni

Funeral services for the late Ben
Baxter, formerly of this city, but
more recently a resident of Sellwood,
were held here Tuesday from the
Brady chapel.. Death occurred Sat
urday night, after a week's illness
from pneumonia "brought 6n"by'in-
fluenza. Mr. Baxter was born at
Waitsburg, Wash, ' Sept. -16, 1887,
and moved to this city with his par
ents when a young boy. He had liv
ed in this city, most of his life, mov
ing but recently to Sellwood. He was
an emolove of the paper mills in
this city, and a member of the Wach
eno Tribe of Redmen and the Knights
and Ladies of security. .
Mr. Baxter is survived by his wife,
two children, Corrinne and George, of
Sellwood; his mother, Mrs. M. E.
McDonald, of Woodburn; two broth
ers, U. A. Baxter, or uregon uity;
E. Baxter, of Sellwood; a sister,
Mrs. E. W Lavier, of this city; Rev.

At the meeting of the Live Wires
in the Commercial club parlors Tues
day noon, a communication was read
from the state highway engineer,
Herbert Nunn, addressed to the Live
Wires in regard to the new contem
plated hard surface between West
Linn and the Multnomah county line,
and also regarding the new bridge to
built over the Willamette river
at this city. In the letter, Mr. Nunn
claims that the Highway commission
will endeavor to appropriate funds
for the hard surface at the earliest
possible moment, and that the grad- ,
ing in preparation for the hard sur
face should be rushed with all speed
by the county court of this county.
Mr. Nunn also informed the Wires
that plans are now being prepared
for the new bridge across the Wil
lamette river at this point to take
the place of the old suspension bridge
now in use, and that three kinds of '
bridges could be chosen from sus
pension, steel, or arch. He recom- '.
mends that ' no kind of suspension
bridge should be built, as it would
not stand up under the traffic after
the highway between this city and
Portland was completed, and also for
the short length of the bridge, mak
ing it impractical. He estimates the
oost of the bridge at between $240,-
000 and $260,000. This amount is
more than the estimate by the coun
ty court here, and therefore, a bigger
appropriation by this county toward
the bridge fund will have to be made.
'.Dr. Jenkins, rector of St. Davis.
church, Portland, was a guest of the
Wires at the luncheon, and came for
the purpose of interesting the menrw .
be'rs in raising the 'quota for Clacka
mas county for the relief of sufferer
ers in the far East. Dr. Jenkins'
gave an. excellent talk, pointing out
the necessity of getting this money
to the Armenians and other Butter
ing people immediately. He pointed
out that over 400,000 children were
starving at the present time over the
devastated countries in the far East
