RED MEN ON WAR PATH
FOR JOY ANNIVERSARY
How do" you spell the most blood
curdling war-whoop of the red men?
Consider it spelled and screeched,
then, for Wacheno Tribe, Improved
Order of Red Men, is going on the
war-path for a good time next Sat
urday evening. With the Ex-Sailors'
jazz band as a proper substitute for
tom-tommers the local organization's
membership will march down Main
street in full regalia, feathers and
paint of the First American with
blood in his eye, at 7:45 o'clock, with
here and there along the line a float
or chariot beautifully decorated, pos
sibly you know the red man's repu
tation for cunning with the subtle
aim or stealing away tne senses in
onlookers.
There will be no stealth, quite
otherwise, despite oft repeated as
sertions of wild west fiction writers
who tell of the red man's habits. A
grand march headed by warriors of
Wacheno Tribe and ladies of Wa
cheno council is slated for 8 o'clock.
Elaborate decorations have been
hung in the hall. The affair is in
charge of a committee composed of
D. E. Frost, chairman, L. A. JNoDel,
Edward W. Lavier and Frances Kroll.
It is the 2Gth anniversary of Wacheno
Tribe.
UNITED WAR VETERANS
A National Organization Composed of
All Soldiers of All Wars
The United War Veterans, a na
tional organization, has been formed
to include in its active membership
all veterans of the Civil War, Span
ish War, and World War.
The objects are: To unite in fra
ternal bonds, through national, state,
local and foreign organizations, ( all
soldiers and sailors of the United
States; to perpetuate Memorial Day,
as established by the Grand Army of
the Republic, and to preserve from
neglect the graves of Our Nation's
Dead; to secure employment for and
to assist our comrades, their widows,
orphans and dependent relatives; to
promote loyalty, mutual aid and co
operation among them in all lines of
endeavor; to secure from' Congress
and other legislative bodies the enact
ment of laws beneficial to the wel
fare of our comrades, and to secure
employment for those who have re
turned to civil pursuits in consonance
with laws which prefer honorably
discharged soldiers and sailors for
government service; to provide and
establish homes for orphans and de
pendent children of our comrades;
and to inculcate the principles of
universal liberty and justice to all
mankind of loyalty to our country,
reverence for its institutions, obedi
ence to its laws and to discounter
ance whatever tends to weaken these
sentiments.
The organization consists of active
members, called comrades, and in
addition thereto an honorary mem
bership consisting of persons who
performed distinguished or faithful
service or engaged in efforts for the
relief of disabled and suffering sol
diers and sailors, or who to a con

tana State Soldiers' Home.
MISS SNEDIKER HEADS
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
Miss R. P. Snediker is the new
leader of Boys and Girls clubs in
Clackamas county. She was appoint
ed following the resignation of A. L.
Olmsted, who will return to his home
near Enterprise and operate the large
ranch owned by his father.
"Aw, we want a big man to be gen
eral," lads of the county asserted
when they heard the news and
then they got acquainted with Miss
Snediker. Now everybody's nappy.
The Girls club urged that a woman
be appointed.
In the county now there are 96
standard clubs with 760 members and
224 independent members, according
to reports recently tabulated. Follow-
up work, demonstrations of various
sorts and fairs have been slated for
the summer.
Miss Snediker is now in the city.
Her experience in club work and or
ganization generally is extensive.
Mr. Olmsted is well known in Ore
gon City and throughout Clackamas
county. He has made many friends
here. His work with the Boys and
Girls clubs is praised as efficient and
thorough.
Many were the tales of hardy men
and brave who faced the quick death
of the wilderness and the slow death
of starvation or illness alone told by
the pioneer to his children and grand
children and great grandchildren.
Many were the stories of hardships
survived, of fears overcome and of
dangers unnoticed, in the new lands
the white men were claiming for
their own. .
Family reunions have gone into
history of the old home In which Mr.
Knight has lived for more than 40
years, but none so successful or so
great as this.
Greetings in letters and telegrams
poured in from those absent ones
who were unable to attend, among
them messages from Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Knight of Portland, and
D. C. Herren, grand master of the
A. 0. U. W. lodge,, of which Mr.
Knight has been a member through
the Oregon City branch for many
years.
"Today is the four-score milestone
of your life," wrote Mr. and Mrs. Al
bert Knight, "and in public life you
have been honored, trusted and have
been successful. In private life you
have won the love of all. Your life
has been so free from corruption that
it has been a true inspiration to all
who know you, and a great credit to
the name of Knight We wish you
continued good health, peace and
happiness."
Mr. Herren wired congratulations
and best wishes, adding, "and I hope
your days will be brightened by the
memory of the kindly deeds you have
rendered to the felloWmen you have
met in life's journey."
As they were read to the assembled
guests these messages were greeted
with pleased applause.
William Knight holds the world's
record for long service as a school
clerk. He has held that position in
Canby for 49 years and is still in of
fice. He was elected sheriff of Clack
amas county in 1884 and served two
terms. He was for several terms a
school director. For a number of
years. he has been justice of the
peace, and still holds that office.
William Knight is the son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Knight.' He
settled with his parents in Wallapa,
Wash, in 1865, where he lived two
years, then moving to Butteville,
Marion county. After three years of
residence there he moved to what is
now Canby where only three houses
then stood. He filed a preemption
claim on 145 acres. The beautiful
old home now stands on this land.

FORMER RESIDENT FINDS
CITY WEIRDLY CHANGED
L. S. Jenkins found Oregon City
metamorphosized from a tiny hamlet
of a few hundred people to a thriving
metropolis of thousands, full of fac
tories and business establishments,
when he returned to this city after an
absence of 40 years, last week. He
also found the COURIER changed.
Instead of a struggling abbreviated
newspaper born weekly in the trouble
And travail attending antiquated
methods of printing, he found the
COURIER a modern Btrong journal of
events as they happen, produced by
a trained staff and the advanced ma
pninprv of most recent invention. Mr.
Jenkins helped fix up the first office
of the COURIER in the old Meyers
. building. He helped get out the first
issue", turning the crank of the hand
driven press and aiding in hand-setting
the type.
Mr. Jenkins, who is 77 years old,
came from California, where he has
made his home for many years. He
returns to Oregon because, as he
says, he likes the health of Oregon
better than the climate of California.
"There were between 500 and 1,000
TiBnnlfi in Orezon City when I came
hwe first about 45 years ago," said
Mr. Jenkins. "There was no busi
nf imnortance in the city, com
pared with modern business, although
the town was even then an important
' center. Portland was only a good
sized town then," and could hardly be
designated by the stilted name, city.
"While I was here the big locks
were built. There have been a lot of
changes-M;here always are you know
in 36 years and I didn't have any
hope that many of my old friends
would be here. But I found quite a
number, all healthy and happy. Jack
Chambers I can call him Jack was
the first lock-tender, and I find him
still at the post. Then there's Tom
Miller, whom I'm visiting. Tom was
bailiff long before I went away and
he still is. It would be pretty hard
to find a bailiff that could beat Tom
or keep the sacred silence of the
court room like he does, and I guess
the people around here must know it.
"Thefe was timber for miles back
from the river on this side then. No
hndv cared much for it. You could
hardly give it away. People burned
the timber off the land if they cauld,
because they didn't want the timber,
only the land. Nobody thought the
great forests of Oregon would ever be
come very valuable. There was so
much timber that it looked like it
would be a drug on the market for
venra and vears. It only seems like
vpsterdav that neoDle thought that
wav."
Mr. Jenkins calls his friends by the
names he remembers they had when
they were young. "Billy" Pratt,
steamer agent, "Bob" Hughes, retir-
J I TT J: J.r.of "Jim"
Wilkinson and "Billy" Meyers are
some of the former acquaintances he,
has met in Oregon City.
He will remain here several
months.
OREGON COUNTY CLAIMS

the Federal Reserve bank of that dis
trict yesterday.

ganization maintains that Washing
ton county is entitled to the banner.

was represented in the subscription
pledge and the quota for that bank

neople of the North Plains section by
John A. Thornburgh, president of the
Forest Grove National bank.

first capital city in the United States
