HOWELL IS ELECTED
ON WATER BOARD
BESTS SCHUEBEL BY NARROW
MARGIN AT CITY COUNCIL
" MEETING LAST NIGHT
William II. Howell was elected
Wednesday night to the board of
water commissioners of Oregon City
by the Oregon City council, after the
vote stood four to four, the mayor
casting his ballot for Mr. Howell.
The election came as a surprise to the
supporters of C. Schuebel, Howell's
opponent, as it was claimed that the
council favored Mr. Schuebel on the
board by a majority of two. Howell
was elected to serve a three-year
term on the board, and succeeds
Harold A. Rands after July 1. ,
The newly elected commissioner
fully understands the management of
the water system, having served for
years as superintendent of the Ore
gon City water works, when the
water supply for this city' was taken
from the Willamette river and filter
ed. The board after July 1 will be
composed of John Lewellen, chair
man, William H. Howell, and M. D.
Latourette, secretary.
At the council meeting Wednesday
evening, Councilman Kelley made an
earnest appeal against delay in let
ting the contract for the paving of
Fourteenth and . Washington streets
connecting Main street with the Ab
ernathy bridge. The matter was
taken under consideration by the
council. J. W. Moffatt has put in a
bid for the paving at $1.50 per square
yard, and Mr. Kelly asked the coun
cil to accept the offer immediately,
and not delay, . . - .
Ordinances correcting the plat of
the Mountain View cemetery and
deeding lots 1 and 8, block 160, to
George Broughton, were passed. Or
dinances providing for the sale of lot
6, block 138, for the sum of $400 to
W. J. Wilson; and for the leasing of
the lower part of the city hall to
Frank Busch at $60 per month, pass
ed their first reading, and will come
up for final passage at the next
session. The fountain at the top of
Singer hill was ordered removed to a
. place designated by the Humane so
ciety, which organization asked the
'council to move the fountain. The
offer of the P, R. L. & P. company,
to place traffic signs at intersections
on Main street free of charge, was
accepted. .

TODD BACK; TELLS OF
EUROPEAN EXPERIENCES
Albert Todd, of West Linn, return
ed here Wednesday from France,
after serving his country since the
beginning of the war. He was dis
charged from the service at Camp
Lewis on May 27. He was a member
of Company H, 110th Infantry, 28th
division, and was in many engage
ments while in Europe. He claimed
that one of the hardest tasks up to a
soldier was to leave a' comrade on
the field of battle while one was
pushing forward. The first day on
the front line, he assisted in captur
ing 18 Hun prisoners. Private Todd
has many exciting tales to relate of
his experiences while in France. He
is the son of Mrs. Verdie Todd, of
West Linn.
FISH WARDEN IS DISMISSED
BY GRAND JURY MONDAY
The case of Oscar Larsen, deputy
fish warden, arrested some time ago
here charged with pointing a gun at
Beldon Ganong, was dismissed Mon
day by the grand jury, who returned
a not true bill against him. Larson
was arrested on complaint of Beldon
Ganong, after the warden attempted
to make an arrest on the Willamette
river at this point, of a number of
fishermen, whom the warden claimed
were fishing too close to the falls.
Ganong claimed that the warden
pointed a gun at him, and after a
preliminary hearing of the case in
the justice court, Larsen waived trial,
and asked to be bound over to the
grand jury. -
Merger Perfected
The long contemplated merger of
the two telephone lines here is now
a fact, and at 12:00 o'clock Saturday
night, the new system was in serv
ice. New telephone directories have
been issued by the company, and Mon
day was the first day under the new
numbers. The system is working in
fine shape now, and the old Home
phones will be taken out soon, leav
ing only the one instrument.

CARLOAD GUERNSEYS
SHIPPED FROM HERE
COMMUNITY BECOMING FAMOUS
FOR BREED OF FINE CATTLE
SECOND SHIPMENT
On May 27th the second car load of
Guernseys was shipped out of Clackr
amas county to Richland, Washing
ton. 1
This car consisted of one register
ed bull from lA. I. and J. Hughes
"Red Wing Farm," and two register
ed heifers from J. A. and J. T. Rich
ey, Bbring. Beside -these were six
grade cows and four grade heifers,
from the herds of F. S. Hutchins,
Bookman Bros., Chas. Wagner, L.
M. Hiatt, and Clyde Ringo.
The six cows were purchased for
$695, and the four heifers for $340.
Two of the heifers sold for $100 each,
this being on account of their excel
lent type, and their sire being out of
an Advanced Registry cow with a
large record.
Preference was given by the pur
chasers to herds that were tubercu
lin tested, to animals of pronounced
Guernsey markings, and to cows bred
to pure bred sires.
One lot of very nice grade cows
were passed because they were in
calf to a grade bull.
These are the first Guernseys to
go into this section of Washington,
and were all sold to J. B. Clements
and W, M. Young. They stated that
other men wanted them to purchase
for them, too, but they decided to
purchase for themselves only, but
that the Guernsey breeders ofthis
county could look for more business
from that section.
The Guernsey breeders of Clacka
mas county want to make this coun
tyfamed for Guernseys, just as Hood1
River is for apples. When a man
thinks of Hood River, he thinks of
apples; when ha thinks of Clacka
mas county, they want him to think
of Guernseys, both pure breds and.
grades, but we must have the stock
to draw the business, and we need
more pure breds and grades. If the
grade, dairy herds were headed up
with registered Guernsey, bulls, the
offspring would show . the Guernsey
type, would be a good producer at
the pail, and would . bring a fancy
figure when sold.
At a recent Guernsey sale in New
Jersey of select pure breds, 83 head
sold for an average price of $2172
per head.
Florham Leader, a two months old
bull calf, sold for $25,000.00,- and
Follyland Nancy, a cow, sold for
$12,500.00. These are the highest
prices ever received at public auc
tion or private sale for either a
Guernsey bull or cow.
By Farmer s Bulletin 893, the aver
age yearly production ,of the five
dairy breeds is as follows: , 'V
BROWN SWISS No. of records,
199; lbs. milk, 10,868.7; lbs. fat, 453.
45; average of ten highest cows, lbs.
milk, 17,372.2; lbs. fat, 683.72.
AYRSHIRE No. of records 2598;
lbs. milk 9,555.0; lbs. fat 377.51;
average of ten highest cows, lbs. milk
21,538.8; lbs. fat 855.4.
HOLSTEIN No. of records 3220;
lbs. milk 14,622.7: lbs. fat 500.7;
average of ten highest cows, lbs.
milk 29,898.3; lbs. fat 1,090.89.
JERSEY No. of r e c o r d s-5244;
lbs. milk 7,792.0; lbs. fat 417.0; av
erage of ten highest cows, lbs. milk
17,703.4; . lhs. fat 943.1.
GUERNSEY No. of r e c o r d s
6200; lbs. milk 8,934.4; lbs. fat
446.1; average of ten highest cows,
lbs. milk 19,337.6; lbs. fat 976.75.
From this it will be seen that the
Guernseys have more official records
than any of the breeds. They are
also greatly exceeded in numbers by
both the Jersey and Holstein breed.

FISHERMEN'S UNION OUT
WITH PROPOSED AMENDMENT
. .
The local fishermen's union have
drafted a proposed amendment to
the constitution which they want
presented to the voters at the next
general ' election. Charles . Gates,
head of the union, is now circulating
a petition for the proposed law. The
amendment favors the abolishing of
the game commission, and proposes
to have the fish laws governed by
each individual county to suit said
county's needs. The amendment al
so provides for the appointment of a
culturist by the governor, who will
have charge of the hatcheries and
propagation work.
Warrant Out for Kramer
H. Kramer is wanted by the au
thorities here on a warrant sworn
out by A. Young, Saturday, who al
leges that Kramer entered his room
at the Crown-Willamette Inn at West
Linn, and took a ring, camera, stick
pin, a pair of shoes and $17 in cash.
The ' constable immediately went to
Portland to find the man, but was
unsuccessful, and came back to this
city without finding any clue as to
his whereabouts.
Sues to Quiet Title
A suit has been filed by Fred M.
Roth against Jane Fletcher to set
aside her title to an interest in some
property that he has owned and pos
sessed for several years. The prop
erty in question is situated at Canby,
and consists of several lots.
CLACKAMAS
MEASURE
Clackamas county voters "swat
ted" everything from soup to nuts at
the election held Tuesday. Only, one
measure on the ballot that of the
market roads tax bill, met with favor
able consideration at the hands of
the voters. . Particularly did this
measure carry strong in the Beaver
Creek district, where the vote went
almost solid for the measure. Out
side of this county, it is reported
that the state carried the Roosevelt
highway military amendment, six per
cent indebtedness bill; soldiers, sail
ors and marine educational financial
aid measure; market roads tax bill,
and irrigation and drainage district
interest guarantee amendment. - X
The measures defeated over the
state were the lieutenant governpr
amendment; reconstruction bond
amendment and the reconstruction
bonding bill.
The bill still in doubt, awaiting re
turns from outside of Portland, is
that of the industrial and reconstruc
tion hospital amendment) and at the
present writing the vote stands
against the measure with a major
ity outside of Portland of 4110.
The measure permitting guarantee
of interest for five years on approv
ed irrigation and drainage district
bonds would have gone down in de
feat had it not been for the Mult
nomah county vote, which carried the
bill for the state, giving a majority
of 5331 votes.
Nearly all of the counties of Ore
gon favored the road bonding plan

MONITOR - BARLOW; '
PLEAD FOR ROAD
MEET WITH COUNTY COURT
HERE WEDNESDAY; ASK
, FOR HARD SURFACE
A large delegation from the Moni
tor-Barlow district met with the
members of the" county court Wed
nesday afternoon for the purpose of
securing, some kind of promise from,
the court that the Monitor-Barlow
road would be selected as either a
post road or part of the highway.
The matter was discussed at length
among the members of the court and
citizens from the Monitor-Barlow dis
tricts. It was brought out at the
conference that the road asked by
the delegation was a natural route
for that part of the county, and that
with very little effort on the part of
the farmers of that neighborhood,
the road could easily be prepared
for hard surface. . -
Although the .county court did not
promise the delegation that ' they
would consider the proposition, Judge
Anderson in reviewing the project
claimed that he realized that the
Monitor-Barton district needed the
road and should have it. But the
judge claimed that a better system
of levying road tax should be put in
to effect, and that road money should
be spent m bigger chunks on certain
designated roads in the county.
"There are plenty of districts in the
county which are asking us for the
same consideration," said the judge,
and our funds are limited. We can
not do all that the different districts
over the county want us to do, until
we get a larger fund with which to
build these roads." ;
The Judge referred to a petition
from the Macksburg district - which
was placed on file with the county
court a few days ago. It was sign
ed by over 500 tax payers of that
neighborhood, and the , petition ask
ed for a road from Marquam to
Macksburg. The judge claimed in
the face of this petition, the court
could hardly go ahead and promise
the Monitor-Barton delegation a
road, inasmuch as they had no pe
tition on file. The court, however,
claimed that it would take the mat
ter under advisement, and a resolu
tion' was filed by the Monitor-Barton
people to go upon the records of the
county court proceedings, asking that
the road be designated as one of the
main -lateral roads of the county.
TRIES TO SELL DIAMOND
BROOCH; ARRESTED HERE
William Hudson, while trying to
sell a diamond brooch to one of the
local jewelry stores Tuesday, was ar

38-calibre revolver, a gold watch and
a deputy sheriff's badge, which were

COUNTY ASKED TO
PAY THIRD OF COST
CLACKAMAS COUNTY'S SHARE
TO BE AROUND $90,000 FOR
SUSPENSION BRIDGE
According to a report made' by C
Schuebel, chairman of the Commer
cial club suspension bridge commit
tee, Clackamas county will be asked
to bear ne-third of the expense of
the new suspension bridge, to be built
at this point by the state highway
commission.
It is rumored that this arrange
ment uits the members of the coun
ty court, who are willing to spend
one-third of the cost of building the
bridge. It is estimated that Clacka
mas county's share will "be in the
neighborhood of $90,000. At a meet
ing of the commission to be held next
week, the commission will ask the
county court or the committee rep
resenting the county, to allow this
amount toward the construction. It
is argued that if left to Clackamas
county to build the bridge, the coun
ty court will only be able to spend
about $100,000, whereas the commis
sion will erect a bridge costing in the
neighborhood of $260,000. '
The highway commission will be
through Oregon City next Wednes
day afternoon, for the purpose, of
looking over the entrance of the high
way into this city at the south end
of the town.
It is contemplated by the commis
sion to make a new entrance into
Oregon City at. this point, coming
down the east side of the S. P.
tracks, and .. entering Oregon , City
through an underground crossing.
At the present the entrance is bad
and very narrow and comes near the
Hawley mills.

WALLACE CAUFIELD
TO HEAD LIVE WIRES
ORGANIZATION TO HELP LOCAL
FIREMEN CELEBRATE ON
JULY FOURTH
At the last meeting of the Com
mercial club of Oregon City, officers
of the organization were elected.
Wallace Caufield, president of the
Pacific Highway garage, was chosen
to head the Wires fox the coming
year and was elected Main Trunk.
Other officers elected were A. E.
Rugg, sub-trunk; L. A. Henderson,
transmission wire; O. D. Eby, guy
wire; Rev. C. H. L. Chandler, incul
cation wire; Dr. L. A. Morris, feed
wire. A. R. Jacobs, president of the
Oregon City Woolen mills, was first
elected to the office of main trunk,
but refused the honor, owing to his
time being fully taken up with other
matters. E. E. Brodie, publisher of
the Enterprise, was re-elected chair
man of the program committee.
At the meeting Tuesday, the long
looked for announcement that the
Live Wire beans had been sold was
made by O. D. 'Eby, who claimed
that an offer of six cents per pound
had been offered and accepted by the
"bean ' committee." - Last year the
Wires raised a crop of beans for the
market, and after holding the product
for over a year, due to the fact that
the price of beans steadily declined
since the harvest, the offer of six
cents per pound was cheerfully ac
cepted." "(It is rumored that it cost
the Wires around 15c . per pound to
put the beans on the market.)
One of the members representing
the Oregon City fire department, ask
ed for the support of the organiza
tion in helping the firemen put on a
Fourth of July celebration here. Mont
of the Wires seemed to favor the
scheme,' and a committee composed of
A. A. Price, O. D. Eby, A. C. How-
land and T. Osmond, was appointed
to investigate the matter and report
back at the next meeting
ROBBERS OPERATING HERE
ARE CAUGHT IN PORTLAND
The four robbers who were arrest
ed Monday by the Portland police on
the Capitol highway, were instru
mental in r o b b i n g the Oswego
store and the Gladstone postoffice in
this county some few days ago, ac
cording to their own confession.
Most of the men captured are young
men, and made a business of stealing
automobiles, and breaking into resi
dences and stores over the country.
One of the machines which they took
belonged to a McMinnvilte party, and
was found wrecked near Osweyo by
Sheriff Wilson, after the robbers had
tried to make a quick get-away and
ran into a large rock near the scene
of the robbery.
WATCH YOUR AUTOMOBILE
IS ADVICE OF OFFICIALS
Citizens of this county are up in
arms over the petty thefts from au
tomobiles while left standing on the
streets and parkings lately. Sunday
G. J. Howell, who resides at 13th and
Jackson streets, had his auto stolen
from this city, and it was found
Monday near the Reed College in
Portland, badly wrecked. The ma
chine was turned completely over,
and had to be towed to this city.
The police of Portland and Oregon
City are now working on the case
in the hopes of bringing the guilty
parties to justice, as the auto was in
fine condition at the time it was stol
en. The car was standing in front of
the Howell home at the time of the
theft. During a dance at the Beac
on Heights' hall last Saturday even
ing, two new tires were taken from
a machine, which was parked near
the building. The .tools from the car
were also taken. -
RED CROSS ASKS FOR
AID IN MAKING APPAREL
The Red Cross Auxiliary of this
city has issued an appeal to loyal
women of Clackamas county to help
make sweaters, socks, and other ar-
tides from materials which they have
now on hand. The materials may be
taken to the homes and can be secur
ed from Mrs. Gardner, secretary of
the organization, who will be in the
Red Cross rooms in the Masonic
building every afternoon this week.
The materials now on hand have been
left over from the war activities, and
the government has requested that
they be made up into clothing, which
is badly needed.
Watching for Army Worm
The army worm has invaded cen
tral Texas and is leaving the trail of
its march in destroyed wheat , and
oats. Weather conditions favor its
spread to many states east of the
Rocky Mountains. But in its pro
gress the insect army will be subject
to the observations of another army
iarmers throughout the threatened
regions who have been warned by the
United btates Department of Agricul
ture to be on their guard and to be
ready to burn over infested areas or
spray them with a solution of ar
senate of lead (powder), 2 pounds to
50 gallons of water.

ELKS TO BACK DRIVE
OF SALVATION ARMY
CAMPAIGN OPENS JUNE 22 TO
RAISE QUOTA OF $8,250
CAPTAINS READY
Dick was a chap who knew more
about the insides of the prisons of
the middle west, than almost any
other man of his ago in the entire
country. He was well and unfavor
ably known to wardens far and wide.
His portrait was on exhibition simul
taneously in the art galleries of a
score or more of police stations.
Judges yawned when they saw him
coming and gave him thirty days in
the same tone you would order ham ,
and eggs with coffee for your break
fast. Finally, in the course of hum
an events, Dick .wandered back to his .
old home town. A few days found
him ragged, penniless and friendless,
just recovering from the .effects of
protracted drunk. Dick , sidled
along the sidewalk wondering where
he could raise the price of another
drink and at the corner he met the
Girl with the Tambourine.
Impelled by the music he came to
an unsteady rest against a conven
ient lamp post and as he swayed in
definitely, wondering what it was all
