NEW FERRY ACROSS
WILLAMETTE MAKING
REGULAR SCHEDULE
Reopens Pacific Highway
Which Has Been Closed
Thirty Days
SERVICE TO INCREASE
Charges Will Be Regulated to Meet
Cost of Operation. Sponsored
by Business Men of City.
The new. ferry across the Willam
ette river was put in operation last
Saturday. Its line extends from 17th
street slightly diagonally across to
the opposite side of the river and con
nects with a street extending through
the Holly Gardens tract belonging to
Franklin T. Griffith.
This ferry during the time when
work on the new bridge is in pro
gress, will be the only way across
the river between Canby and Sell
wood, it is arranged to care for
auto, horse and foot traffic.
The carrier consists of a barge op
crating on a cable propelled by a
launch. The approach on the Ore
gon City side was construtced by
dredging and by building a driveway of
heavy planks to the edge of the ferry
landing. On the west side of the
river the landing is reached by a
plank and gravel approach. The
barge is 86 by 26 feet in size and will
accommodate ten cars at one time.
The present hours are from 8
o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in
the afternoon with signal systems.
There will be arrangements for em
ergency calls at all times of the day
or night.
This connecting link in the Pacific
highway .system was initiated and con
structed by an association of business
men of Oregon City, who have incor
porated for the purpose of financing
and maintaining it. Its cost was ap
proximately $iG90-ana -the.jBSBey-was
--.raised- by-popular subscription among
the business and professional men of
the city.
The estimated cost of operation is
$15 per day. The charges to meet
the expenses are fixed at 25 cents for
light rtucks and wagons up to one
ton weight; 50 cents for trucks from
one to three tons, the limit, and 5
cents for foot passengers. 'This
charge will be reduced when patron
age will warrant, as it is intended on
ly to pay the expenses of operation
and maintenance from the charges.
HIGHWAY COMMISSION
URGES DECISION ON
SOUTH END ROAD
A communication has been receiv
ed by the county court which ex
presses the intended procedure of the
state highway commission in the mat
ter of the outlet for the Pacific High
way at the south end of the city.
Some effort has been put forth ot
locate this route over the hill section
instead of along- the basin where it
is now located and where the com
mission says in its letter it will be
improved unless other arrangements
shall be made satisfactory to the
commission.
Committees were some time ago ap
pointed from the city council and the
commercial club, but to date nothing
definite has been accomplished. It
is now put up to this city to decide
upon a route and to finance the same
either by taxation or contributions, or
both.
To go over the hill via third or
fifth street will cost heavily. To im
prove along the present route will
cost the city little. But the highway
over the hill is of great value to Ore
gon City. It would connect the auto
park with the highway, provide a
scenic thoroughfare over the hill, in
crease property and bring business to
the merchants.
It's up to Oregon City council to
initiate and work out this matter to
a final decision right away. The com
mission calls attention to this matter
having been delayed and insists on
early action if the route is to be
changed.
West Linn Council in Session
The city council of West Linn at
a meeting last night adopted plans
for the Buck street sewer.
A petition containing 172 names
was presented to the council protest
ing the repeal of the present jitney
ordinance. It was laid to rest for
the present.
Mosier Goes to Kansas.
Willis Mosier, who has been a res
ident of Oregon City for a good many
years and who ia totally blind, left
last Sunday for Topeka, Kansas,
where he will enter the home of the
Security benefit association, where he
will be taken care of for the rest of
his life. The home is for disabled
memhers. and orohan children. Mr.
Mosier has been a member of the or-
'Ner for some time.
ANOTHER IS ADDED
TO THE STARTER'S
GOVERNOR LIST
Race Grows v More Interesting
More of Faithful Offer Them
selves as Dutiful Sacrifices.
The expected has come to pass. The
governor's hat has landed safe in the
gubneratorial circle along with those
of Hall, Bean, Lowell and Lee. All of
them will vie probably in political at
tractiveness with that of Patterson
within a few fleeting days.
The governor declares he has in
tended for a long time to seek re-elec
tion, but has not had time to make
good his desire to announce his can
didacy and his platform at one and
the same time. But one portion of
the suspense has been relieved by
the announcement. The platform
will probably be built from very thick
and flawless planks of economy and
efficiency from the political mill.
As political straws show which way
the wind blows, the fact that the can
didate for re-election has formed a
commission to study the administra
tive code for state government shows
also that he is not unmindful of the
platforms of Senators Bean and Hall,
who have declared in favor of depart
ment government as a substitute for
the present form in this state.
The political dopesters have lined
up the aspirants about as follows: Ol
cott, Hall, Bean, Lowell and J. D.
Lee. The bet that of Patterson, who
is a real "dirt" fanner of Polk county
comes out there will be more of a con
test than scheduled so far, should not
be overlooked.

'Editor Requested By the Judge to
State His Honor's Duty in the
Premises.
Last July the county court dissatis
fied with the services of C. J. Long
as traffic officer, tried to remove him
and to substitute H. W. Wagy. W.
J. Wilson, sheriff, and the other de
partment heads of the county govern
ment have legal right each to name
his own deputies, while the court has
the authority to fix their compensa
tion. Wilson within his legal right
refused to name Wagy and retained
Long, who has since confined his ac
tivities chiefly to serving papers and
working on booze cases.
Wagy was appointed by the court
under authority from the governor
and did traffic work until January 1,
this year, when his Excellency at
the capital ruled no more special de
puties unless named by sheriffs.
When the court appointed Wagy
and the sheriff refused to drop Long,
the court agreed to cut off entirely or
to make nominal Long's salary. How
ever, changes took place in the court's
attitude and Commissioners Procter
and Harris constituting a legal ma
jority of the court, have signed both
Long's and Hughes' salary warrants.
Judge Cross refused to sign both Mr.
Long's and Hughes' warrants under
the same legal construction that these
salaries have not been fixed by the
court. Of Mr. Hughes' official work
the court has made no complaint.
At this month's session of the court
Commissioner Procter was unable to
be present on account of his illness- at
his home in Sandy." Judge Cross as
heretofore refused to sign the order
of the deputies' pay. Harris was
not the required majority and before
he could get the warrant to Proc
tor for his signature, the court ad
journed and it looked for a short time
as if the deputies' warrants must go
over to next month unless the court
should specially order or by mandam
us proceedings. .
Later Mr. Procter signed the war
rants and the trouble is over for the
present Meanwhile the county is
without a traffic officer and the
roads suffering badly in consequence.
And now comes the local morning
sheet with the statement: "The ac
tion is an outgrowth of the long fric
tion in the courthouse between the
county sheriff and the judge."
To this Judge Cross replies that his
action is not due to friction, but is
the law and asks our Morning Con
temporary to name his "duty in the
premises." Will our Morning Con
temporary please direct him.

ent went on record by unanimous
vote as favoring such union. It was
made plain, however, that no new
building would be built this year.
A committee consisting of one per
son in each district included in the
j proposed union was authorized, and
wm ne appointed by the directors of
each of the districts. And county

Proposed.
Already three of the candidates for

Charles Hall, of Marshfield, an
nounces himself in favor of a change
to a department form of not more
than ten departments. Under this
plan the present multiplicity ot boards
and commissions would be abolished
and the authority and responsibility
would be placed in the, ten heads of

And now comes Senator Louis E.
Bean and boldly advocates the repeal
of the statutes creating and govern
ing all state commissions and the
substitution of a non-salaried cabinet
of seven business men to be appoint

would be confirmed by the senate and
would act in an advisory capacity.
Among other planks in Mr. Bean's

Conference
Problems current and educational
were discussed by nearly a dozen
speakers at the Clackamas County
Schoolmaster's Club meeting at the
Union High school building in West
Linn oh Saturday last
After lunch at the Crown-Willamette
Inn and basket ball, an informal
but excellent program was enjoyed.
J. W. Lenhardt president of the
club, led with a discussion of the
dance problem in the schools, and
drew the conclusion that no one has
the moral right to say that the school
houses shall not be used for dances.
J. R. Bowland, secretary-treasurer,
expressed the thought that athletics
require more than a fair share of the
pupils' time and energy and the
schools suffer in consequence at pres
ent though he endorses athletics.
J. L. Gary was assigned the subject
"The Ku Klux Klan" and spoke of
its purposes as had been presented
to him.
Principal Woodworth of Stafford
school recounted the difficulties as
well as the advantages of teaching in
the rural districts. He pictured the
usually unfavorable housing condition
and deplored the fact that so many
teachers leave the community for the
cities and villages over Sunday in
stead of exerting' their leadership in
their school community during these
days absent.
R. W. Kirk responded to "How in
duce boys and girls to attend high
school" by advice to hold up before
them three benefits: increased earn
ing power; better citizenship through
study of history; and the opportunity
to find out through study to what they
are best adapted.
Karl Muender suggested that a wor

The conference called by Governor

That the narcotics drug evil is the
greatest . and most dangerous moral
scourge that ever fastened itself on
humanity, was the unanimous verdict
of the conference.
It was shown that the greatest am

Great Britain came in for condemna

production and commerce.
It was declared that as a means
of combatting the evil, narcotics
should be manufactured only under
control of the government and its
transportation ditto. More federal

Among methods proposed to combat
this evil were: Congress memorializ

this subject and for immediate pas

regulates manufacture, prohibits the

ROAD BOND RECALL
LOOMS BIG
Pomona Grange Committee ' Denies
Early Expression from the Voters
On Proposition.
The committee from the Pomona
Grange having in charge the bond re
peal petitions, met on Saturday, March
4, in Oregon City. Those present
were M. C .Glover of Eagle Creek;
H. S. Thiessen, of Concord; C. E.
Spence of Beaver Creek, and A. F.
Sloper, of Logan. The petition now
contains over 1550 names, the num
ber required by law being only 1200.
There ,is an excess of 350 names
more than the law requires. All
"these names were secured by volun
tary circulators. No persons were
paid -to solicit names. The petition
will be filed immediately. Unless
the proponents of the bonds institute
proceedings to delay the movement,
the matter may come up for a vote
at the May primaries. If as threat
ened, injunction proceedings are in
stituted, the'vote may be delayed un
til the November election. The
threatened injunction would seem to
indicate that some of the proponents
of the bonds were afraid to let the
voters have an opportunity to express
themselves on this matter.
The Grange committee are desirous
of securing an expression of the vot
ers at the earliest possible moment
and feel confident that the sober sec
ond judgment of the voters will repeal
the unsold portion of the bond issue.
The committee are arranging for funds
t omeet any contingency that may
arise and to conduct the repeal to a
successful culmination.
