DEATH OK. SENATOR WALTER
A. D1MICK KELT KEENLY
IN COMMUNITY
, '
WAS CHAMPION OF PEOPLE
Many Prominent Men from All Over
State Attend Kuneral at Elks'
Temple Saturday -
The entire community suffered a
keen loss when. Senator Walter A.
. Dimick passed away at his home in
Oregon City last Thursday evening,
following an illness which first be
came serious while the senator was
at his post of duty during the recent
session of the legislature. Mr. Dim
ick passed quietly away about, 6:00
o'clock in the evening at Eighth and
Center streets, where he and his wid
ow and little son have resided for
the past several years. ! " -
While the citizens of Oregon City
understood that he was in a serious
condition at his home, nevertheless
the announcement of his death was a
great shock, inasmuch as he had al
ways rallied from his organic attacks,
which had been of a rather chfbnic
nature for the past several months.
With the passing away of Mr.
Dimick, the community and state at
large loses a splendid type of citizen
ship, a man of unusual character and
ability, a fair, honest and able law
year, a splendid neighbor and a true
friend of the people. Words of ten
der sympathy and beautiful tributes
to the high citizenship standards of
Mr. Dimick, have come to the bereav
ed relatives from all sections of the
state. .
Senator Aaron Walter Dimick was
born August 30, 187, on the old Dim
ick donation land claim two miles
east of Hubbard. .He was the . son
of George and- Rhoda L. (Gleason)
Dimick. He was educated in the pub
lic schools at Hubbard, and later fin
ished at the Pacific University at
Forest Grove, where he graduated in
1902. He was admitted to the bar on
October 13, 1904, and took up the
practice of law with his cousin, Grant
B. Dimick, in this city, which prac
tice he kept up until a few weeks be
fore his death. He was married to
Miss Ora D. Caples July 18, 1906, at
Forest Grove, and is survived by his
wife and one young son, Norman.
When a very young man, Mr. Dim
ick became interested in politics, and
was city recorder for this city for
many years. In 1905 and again in
1908, he was elected from this coun
ty to the state legislature, and serv
ed in the house in the session of
1909. The following year he Was
elected to the state senate, and again
reelected In 1914 and at the last elec
tion, 1918. He served for five con
secutive sessions at the legislature.
Mr. Dimick was an aggressive
fighter in politics, and was instru
mental during his long service in the
state legislature, in putting over
many good laws for the people of
Oregon. He was the author of the
present law compelling medical ex
aminations for marriage licenses. At
the last session of the legislature, he
championed the legislation directed
against criminal syndicalism, and
favored the passage of laws striking
at hyphenated Americanism. . Sena
tor Dimick was a member of the Ore
gon City Commercial club, Elks, Red
Men, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fel
lows of this city.
Tho funeral services for Senator
Walter A. Dimick took place Satur
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from
the-lks temple. The services were
in charge of the Elks lodge, and Col.
Mercer, sergeant at arms of the state
senate, preached a beautiful sermon.
The ritualistic ceremony of the Elks
was directed by tho Past Exalted
Ruler, Clyde Mount. A quartet com
posed of Thos. A. Burke, Mrs. Thos.
A. Burke, Homer Hollowell and Mrs.
Nieta Barlow Lawrence sang at the
services. Interment was held in the
Mountain View cemetery, and servic
es at the grave were , in charge of
the Christian Science church.
Hundreds of people from all over
the state and this county attended
the funeral. The Elks temple was
crowded to its full capacity, and many
were compelled to stand in the hall
of the . temple, unable to get in.
Many distinguished men from all over
the state attended the funeral, which
included the following members from
the state senate: Walter B. Jones,
Lane county; W. T. Vinton, Yamhill

keep the thing in mind, and if you
should happen to be up at 2:00 a. m.,
Sunday morning, better turn, the old
Waterbury up a notch.
The government has sent out spe

the Western Union of Oregon City

"It is the first death in my official
family," stated Judge Campbell in
closing, and I feel the loss keenly, as
do you all. Senator Dimick's loss is
great indeed, and although he is not
with us, his works will live on. He
was an intensely human man, fair
and honest, a splendid type of citizen
ship. His work and energy should be
an inspiration to the younger mem
bers of the bar." '
The resolutions follow:
"We, the Bar Association of Clack

death of Hon. W. A. Dimick, this
body has sustained a most serious
loss to its membership, this commun

of a valuable leader in civic advance
ment, the state has been denied fur
ther influence for good of a worthy,
intellectual and educated citizen, and
his family a helpful and devoted hus
band and father,
"THEREFORE, Be It Resolved,
that we deplore the death of this
member, leader, citizen and father
and husband, whose character was
sterling, his devotion marked, his in-
fluence for good always outstanding,
and his passing a general depriva
tion, and be it further, .
"RESOLVED, that a copy of this
resolution be entered on the Journal
of the Circuit Court of this county, a
copy spread upon the minutes of this
Association, and a copy mailed to his
family.

over the county between now and the
June election for the purpose of
arousing interest in proposed meas
ures on the ballot. It was brought
to the attention of the "Wires" by C.
Schuebel, who claimed that -many ap

will be voted on at this election and
that the people ought to be inform
ed as to the measures,
i A committee composed of E. E.
Brodie, O. D. Eby and M. D. Latour

en from our midst State Senator
Walter Aaron Dimick, for many
years an active member of the Com
mercial Club of Oregon City and of
the Live Wire organization of such
Commercial Club, and
Whereas, Mr. Dimick was, during
his residence in Oregon City and
while he was a member of this club,
a champion of the right and an ar
dent defender of the interests of
Clackamas county, ready at all times
to fight for the preservation of the
county's boundaries, and resisting
any and all attempts to do this coun
ty and its people injury, therefore
be it
Resolved, that in the untimely
death of Senator Dimick this com
munity has lost a useful citizen and
this club has suffered the loss of a
valuable and active member, and the
people of the ' state a legislative
champion, and be it further

the Commercial club of Oregon City,
in regular meeting assembled this
25th day of March, 1919, express
their profound sorrow upon the death
of Senator Dimick, and that we ex

Clackamas county.
Dr. L. A. Morris, chairman of the
road committee of the Commercial
club, announced that the County Court
had agreed to pave Washington street
from the Abernathy bridge to Main

will be done by the county paving
plant and the actual cost of the oper
ations will be charged to Oregon
City. It is understood that the city
council is in favor of this, and opera
tions will commence soon. There will
be an 18-foot stretch of hard surface
laid on this stretch of road, which
will connect with the north end of
the bridge, ' providing a continuous
stretch of pavement between this
city and Portland. It is also planned
by the county court to pave from the
Gladstone bridge over the 82d street
road to the Gladstone park cutoff,
through the new road & round the
Chautauqua ground this summer,
making the complete loop between
this city and Portland hard surfaced.

health for many months and only be
cause in his last days he insisted that
a change of climate would help him,
did the family consent to take him to
California. He was there but a few
days when the end came.
Mr. Roots was 69 years and had al
ways occupied a prominent position
in county affairs, though never hav
ing been an office holder. He held
extensive property interests. He

by W. P. Hawley, of the Hawley Pulp

ONE MORE JAIL BREAK IS
ATTEMPTED TUESDAY NIGHT
Another attempt was made Tues
day evening by the prisoners in the
county jail here to.' break out.
Sheriff Wilson, while making the
rounds of the courthouse building,
found that one of the bars to the jail
door had been partly sawed through.
The prisoners had secured a saw
from the outside, but refused to di
vulge where or from whom they got
it. A close watch is being kept on
the jail at present. Some time ago,
lights were put next to the jail win
dows on the outside, so as to enable
the night officers to see the jail win
dow when making their rounds at
night. The sensational escape of
"Slim" Brown, who was never ap
prehended, has caused the officials
here to keep close tab on the prison
ers. MYERS BOUND OVER TO
) GRAND JURY; OUT ON BAIL
E, H. Myers, arrested by the
authorities here some time ago on
complaint of the Humane society,
charged with cruelty to his stock,
