ROCKEFELLER'S NIECE
ENGAGED TO SWISS
Disparity in Ane and Wealth Are Ig
nored in the Power of
Romance.
The country's society section has
been agog over the announcement of
the engagement of the granddaughter
of John D. Rockefeller, the world's
wealthiest financier. There are two
reasons for the gossip and the news
paper headlines portraying this en
gagement of the heir to millions to
a Swiss horseman.
One is the great disparity in wealth
involved and the other is the differ
ence in the ages of the pair she 17
and he 44 years old.
It is reported that Harold McCor-
mick, father of Mathilde, gave readily
his consent, the mother ignores the
match as does the sister; and J. D.
is yet to be interviewed for consent.
The groom is described as belong
ing to one of Switzerland's best fam
ilies himself, modest, intelligent and
of rural tastes, a fine horseman own
ing excellent stables and genuinely in
love with his youthful fiancee.
This wedding will take place it is
believed in early summer and the
home will be in a rural section of
Switzerland it is said.

OPPOSITION HARD
AT WORK AGAINST
TREATY
Thirty-Three Votes Necessary to De
feat Measure in the
Senate.
The treaties arising from the dis
armament conference are before the
senate where they will probably be
accepted except the Four-Power pact
which deals with international mat
ters. It is an agreement between
the United States, Great Britain,
France and Japan, with a view to pre
serving peace in the Pacific.
At first politicians like Borah,
Johnson, Shields and Reed opposed it
claiming that under its provisions this
country would have to go to the aid
of Japan in case of trouble on her
mainland. The possibility of SHch
interpretation was promptly removed
at the leadership of Secretary Hughes
and yet the "irreconcilables" find
some other possible interpretation up
on which they oppose ratification.
It will require 33 votes to reject
this pact and it will soon be clear
whether in the senate there will be
this number lined up against it. Op
position to alliances is the chief wea
pon now wielded by the opposition.
U. of O. Summer Term
Has Great Schedule
Summer work on the campus of the
university of Oregon in 1922 will be
much like the instruction given in the
other terms of the college year, ac
cording to Colin V. Dyment, director.
He adds that the only differences will
be that the offerings of the summer
term will be somewhat restricted and
specialized and that more attention
will be given proportionately to the
needs of advanced students. Some
elementary courses will be offered hot
the emphasis will be upon those cours
es in which the libraries and labora
tories on the campus can be used to
best advantage by mature and experi
enced students.
Dean Henry D. Sheldon comes back
to the summer term as head of the
education work, assisted by Assistant
Superintendent Thomas R. Cole of Se
attle, Professor Harl Douglass arc1
two other luaiructorj. K?nes B:90s,

glish, has called Dr. Otis Richardson
of the university ow Idaho to give

university of Iowa, and will offer work
in history.

MULTNOMAH COUNTY
WILL PAY HER SHARE
OF LOOP ROAD
The United States Govern
ment, State and Counties
Bear Share of Cost
WORK WILL PROCEED
Portion of Loop Outside Forest Re
serves Costs $640,000. Clackamas
County to Pay $83,000.
When arranging for the improve
ment of the Mt. Hood Loop road ex
tending from Portland up the Colum
bia highway to Hood River, thence
up the Hood River valley around Mt.
Hood through Government camp,
Sandy, Gresham and back to Port
land.
Clackamas county through her coun
ty court agreed to pay $83,000; the
slate through the highway commis
sion pays as its share of the loop out
side the forest reserve approximately
$387,000; Multnomah county outside
the reserves $107,000. . The state and
ihe United States pay for the im
provement within the reserves.
Altogether this loop road will cost
Multnomah county about $1,000,000,
and its entire cost will be about $5,
000,000 for one of the most scenic
highways in the country.
After apportionments of costs had
been settled upon, the tax commission
for Multnomah county cut off the
funds intended by the commissioners
for this improvement and the whole
project was "in the air." The said
commission gave as one of the rea
sons for cutting off the funds that
there were doubts as to the legality
of Multnomah county spending mon
ey out3ide for road purposes. But
the district attorney for the county
has given as his opinion ta County
Commissioners Holman, Hoyt and Ru
deen that they may legally direct the
expenditures of the county's share of
funds derived imHorHo rf'wn notor
in the budget for road work on the
Mt. Hood loop road. To Clackamas
county the completion of the "loop
means $640,000 worth of highway for
$83,0000.
It is expected that work will now
proceed and the highway covering
territory in both Multnoman ana
Clackamas counties will be completed
at an early date. '
Later advices show deficits for
the Multnomah county commissioners
to meet and which may delay the mat
ter a little longer.

Gladstone Will Have
Early Chautauqua
This year the Willamette Valley
Chautauqua at Gladstone will be an
earlier date than ever before. The
date set. for the opening is June 24,
which means that there will be two
Sunday sessions. The reason for tHe
early date is that by this- arrangement

program of the Ellison-White Chau
tauqua. The symposium in charge of Mrs.
Dye will again be a feature of the
program. The hour for this part of
the program is set for four to five
o'clock.

be offered. H. E. Cross, the founder
of the association and Arthur G. Beat
tie for two years secretary, are pres
ident and secretary respectively.

longer than 45 minutes.

pnt with those who have transgressed
the laws in this regard but with the
metal warnings installed compliance

PROSPECTS FOR BONUS
BILL NOT BRIGHT
AT THIS TIME
Opposition Grows Stronger
As Measure Comes on
For Final Vote
HARDING STANDS FIRM
Plan Most Favored Is to Provide for
Payment From Proceeds of
Foreign War Debts.
The bonus bill has arrived at a
point in congress where it makes
no progress. One of several things
which will give it new life or kill it
for the time must result from the
political pull and haul to which it has
been subjected. There is now pro
bability that no bonus bill will pass
this session. Again it is possible
for some form of bill to be passed by
the house and receive the ax in the
senate or veto by the president. Or
that a bill may be passed providing
for payment of the bonus from the
war debts of Europe.
The president has held to the po
sition that no bill will be acceptable
to him which does not provide sure
and adeaquate means of payment to
the soldiers. With thip view he
could do no less than veto the pro
posed European debt method of pay
ment as it would be neither sure or
adequate.
So much opposition and feeling has
been stirred up over the bonus mea
sure by manipulating politicians who
keep an eye on the soldiers' vote that
even the political value, whatever
the outcome, will not be very great.
Those congressmen who have prom
ised to vote for the measure and who
must go before their people for elec
tion next fall are anxious to get a
chance to record a favorable vote.
Those who feel themselves safe or
who hold over this next election pre
fer to wait for a final vote until af
ter the ;idSs" of November fpr an
The president resents the cot??
means brought to bear upon him in
the matter and will, it is believed,
continue to oppose all bills which do
not provide definite means for rais
ing the money for payment.
Hence hopes for a satisfactory bo
nus measure during this session of
congress are not very bright.
BIG EXPENDITURES
SCHEDULED BY
GREAT NORTHERN
Oregon. and Washington Will Profit
by Improvements Costing
$3,500,000.
Officials of the Pacific coast are
now optimistic over the future of bus
iness in Oregon, especially. En
couraged thus, they have been plan
ning to handle increased business
particularly in lumber. And with
this outlook the Great Northern has
recently with the Northern Pacific
company, taken over the Astoria and
Pacific railway which extends to the
timber sections of Tillamook, Clatsop,
Washington and Columbia counties.
These tremendous expenditures are
justified the railroad authorities be
lieve on the basis that the purchase
and use of material will create bus
iness for others and in so doing will
help the roads themselves.
Among the improvements will be
an addition of several hundred new
freight cars, the wood of which will
be fir; new block signals and ter
minals. Altogether the Great North
ern will expend in improvements on
its lines $15,000,000.
It is expected that passenger rates
this next summer will be 2 cents a
mile from tblis section to Chicago
and from all eastern points they will
be at a pre-war level. Freight rates
have been reduced on some commod
ities and other reductions await low
ering of costs of labor and materi
als. It is expected that the lower
passenger rates will greatly stimulate
travel.
Christopher Neunchwonder Passes.
The funeral services of Christoph
er Neunchwonder were held from the
church at Yoder on Friday, last, with
interment in Yoder cemetery. The
deceased had passed the three-score
years and ten mile stone and is sur
vived by his widow and daughter.
New Bridge Span In Place.
That work on the new bridge across
the Willamette is on in earnest is
evidenced by the erection of the span
which is now in place. Work is
being rushed at the east approach of
the bridge also.
The report that the bridge will not
stand floods and that it will obstruct
boat traffic to any considerable ex
tent is decried by the state highway
engineer, Herbert Nunn. He de
clares that the bridge will admit of
navigation for any height of water
except at a point reached only once
during the past 40 years and then
only two or three days.
CHIEF FIRE BUREAU
PACIFIC COAST TALKS
TO BUSINESS MEN
Jay Stevens Gives Splendid Talk on
Causes and Prevention of
Fire.
At the Live Wire meeting Tuesday
noon there were present Jay Stevens,
chief of the Fire Bureau of the Pa
cific coast, Fire Marshals Stokes and
Glisan of the state fire marshal's of
fice; Chief Priebe and chairman I. C.
Bridges of the council fire committee.
Mr. Stevens, who won an enviable
record while in the service of th Pnrt.
land fire department, was the chief'
speaker. He not only spoke of fire
hazards, and loss of life, but gave
demonstrations to emphasize his state
ments. The speaker condemned the celluloid
playthings given .the child, dresses,
receptacles and other celuloid ar
ticles and demonstrated theis combus
tibility by setting fire to them with
an ordinary match. He demon
strated the danger of fire from the use
of ordinary stove polish by setting
fire to a few drops on a piece of pa
per. He condemned the use of gasoline
and showed it to be one of the most
prolific causes of fires.
By moving pictures he showed build
ings in the burning, noted the causes
and urged,prevention.
Statistics showed, said he, that ev
ery building is subject to fire once in
11 years.
In the afternoon Mr. Stevens ad
dressed the high school and show-
ed his pictures at the Shively opera !
house m the evening. His talks were
very entertaining, instructive and
should have been heard by every cit
izen. -

GUBERNATORIAL RACE
SHOWS PROGRESS
DURING WEEK
HalL Lee and Bean Have
Now Definitely Commit
ted Themselves
OTHERS CONSIDERING
Taxation Is Chief Plank in Platforms
Congressman W. C. Hawley Has
Lone Field So Far.
This week sees the scoring turned
into a final get-away for at least two
aspirants' for governor, although there
has been so. far not even the sug
gestion of a scorer to contend for W.
C. Hawley's congressional post.
Senator Charles Hall, of Marshfield
has crossed the "line" and with the
endorsement of the federated societies
has sent out over the state announce
ment of his platform. He declares
tor reduction of taxes on general pro
perty; state government machinery of
ten departments instead of the four
score or more commissions, boards,
etc.; increased market facilities; in
creased credits for the farmer; gaso
line tax for highway use.... comple
tion of state highway systems with
special attention to market sections;
continued building up of the public
scno.ols; gainst Japanese land own-
ership or control; and for strict en
forcement of all laws.
J. D. Lee of Portland, who was the
first to lay claim to gubernatorial
honors, is making a quiet, persistent
campaign in and about his own city
and will no doubt, extend his efforts
to other parts of the state soon.
Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton has
announced a platform, but has not put
forth organized or personal effort in
behalf of his candidacy.
Louis Bean has already campaign
ed in eastern Oregon.
Patterson an! ' Kelly are non-committal.
rfralt;Ter aspirations fie may
have to succeed himself securely lock
ed in his own bosom. It is very pa
tent, however, that he will announce
his candidacy inr due time and form.
And with many others in the field, it
is predicted in various political quar
ters that with his prestige and pat
ronage he will be at least a very for
midable candidate.
No one has so far announced him-
-self a competitor for Congressman
Hawley's toga.
List of Legislative
Candidates Grows
There are now three candidates who
have announced their intention to
run for the office of state senator
from Clackamas county. F. J. Tooze,
from Canemah precinct; William
Stone, Oregon City, and R. E. Church,
Barlow.
Of the candiadtes for representa
tives are Philip Hammond, Oregon
City; I. C. Bridges, Oregon City;
George Randall, New Era; M. I. Lee,
Canby. Messrs. Hammond and
Bridges have announced themselves
and it is expected the others will do
so on the near future.
The Banner-Courier will give the
platform of all candidates so far as
possible to obtain them in the very
near future.
Matt Scribner Gone.
Matt Scribner, prominent farmer of
the Logan section, died at his home
on Monday this week, from appoplexy.
He was a long-time and well-known
resident in this county. Those who
are left to mourn are his wife; his
children, Olga and Del, and a sister,
Mrs. W. L. Bell, of Bend, Ore.
Siam Missionary Will Speak.
Mrs. Henry White, wife of the pas
tor Of the Millard Avenue Presby
terian church, Portland, will be the
speaker at the Presbyterian church
Sunday evening.
The occasion is the annual praise
service and thanksgiving gathering
under the auspices of the Missionary
society. Rev. and Mrs. White for
years, and until recently missionair-
ies in Siam, which country will furnish
the theme of Mrs. White's address,
which will be accompanied by the
presentation of stereoptican pictures.
The address and pictures will be of
special interest to Oregon City resi
dents, as they will portray the condi
tions under which the Brodie family
are living. One of the finest pieces
of missionary work in the world is
being done by the Presbyterian church
in that unique country.
Clackamas County Honored.
At the Oregon Retail Merchants'
association meeting at Roseburg last
week, Everman Robbins, merchant of
Molalla, and F. A. Rosecrans of Can
