SIX MILLION WALK OUT
Surplus Coal Will Last About Six
Weeks The Causes of Strike Are
Laid Before Congress
Six million miners laid down their
tools on April 1, to enforce favorable
action of operators in matters of con
ference and wages which the men de
mand. Sympathetically thousands of
non-union men dropped their picks
and shovels determined to. help win
the demands of their union brethren
The tremendous area of the strike
covers twenty states and a part of
Canada.
Attention in a crisis like this is
turned at once to the supply and de
mand of the product affected. In this
case it is estimated that there are
65,000,000 tons of coal in the bins of
the ocuntry. This is sufficient to last
in the industries and . for domestic
use about six weeks under normal
conditions of cold weather and may
last two months under greater con
servation and warmer weather. The
average consumption is about 15,000,
000 tons daily. There are 6000 mines
now closed.
In the open shop regions there are
about 1500 miners being worked and
producing about 4,000,000 tons a week.
This means continued drawing upon
the surplus.
Neither the national nor the state
governments have taken any forward
step to bring the operators and min
ers toward settlement And both, op
erators and miners, are "sitting
tight" awaiting further developments,
though John Lewis, the head of the
miners union has laid the matter be
fore the congressional committee.
Federal agents are keeping close
tab on headquarters and precautions
against violence are being taken, al
though the union officials declare
" there will be no violence.
Reports to the effect that British
miners and transport workers would
help their cousins here by declaring
an embargo on coal exports from this
country is now denied.

Church Topic
At the Christian Science church
Sunday, April 9, the Lesson-Sermon
will be "Are Sin, Disease and Death
Real?"
As a result of a deadlock over nego
tiations looking toward the purchase
of the Molalla Electric company's
plant which has been furnishing light
and power to the city of Canby has
employed J. D. Beebe, engineer for
the public service commission to place
a valuation on the plant.
The contract with the ocmpany has
expired and the city has refused to
renew on account of a rise in rates
amounting to enarly 100 per cent last
July, though the public utilities com
mission reduced the rates somewhat
a few weeks ago.
Recently the city voted for a bond
issue of JIO.OOO with which to obtain
and operate a plant and stands ready
to purchase the present lines at . a
fair price, but ' is unwilling to pay
$8067.00 set as a valuation by the
commission.
The plan of building a hydro-elec
tric plant on the Molalla River con
sidered recently, has, it is understood,
been abandoned and the plan of pur
chasing light and power from the P.
R. L& P. Co. is now looked upon with
general favor.

Proposition to Drive For
Artesian Supply Is
Now Favored
COMPANY PROPOSED
Local Capital Expected to Finance
Installation City Will Take
Over Operation
Like every other city Gladstone
has real municipal problems and chief
among them is an adequate water
supply. And In addition to the neces
sity for the supply being abundant it
must be pure. The latter character
istic of her present system has been
the subject of much discussion and
has been a matter of divided opinion
until now it is proposed to settle the
entire matter.
Recently citizens in mass meeting
assembled instructed the city attorney
to draw up articles of incorporation
for a company to proceed with the
drilling.
Expert advice is that artesian water
in suffiicent quantities may be had
by drilling to a edpth of approximate
ly 900 feet. The present supply is
from the - Clackamas River and
through a sand filter.
Tomorrow (Friday) night a meeting
has been called, at the school building
for the purpose of forming a company
capitalized at f 10,000 for the prosecu
tion of the work o'n the project.
In the event that the well is a suc
cess it will be taken over and oper
ated by the city.
The company will no doubt be resi
dents of Gladstone and are looking to
the development of the cit, rather
than upon financial returns upon their
investment.
West Linn Council
Has Warm Session
At a rather stormy meeting of the
West Linn City Fathers Wednesday
night, an ordinance was passed mak
ing it unlawful for anyone to allow
livestock to run at large within the
city limits. This question had been
brought up several times in the past,
and each time failed to obtain favor
able action.
About fifty people from Willamette,
West Linn and Bolton, interested in
the measure, were present and all of
whom were allowed to express their
opinions on the matter. Of those who
spoke, twenty seven were in favor of
allowing the cows to run at large,
while a smaller number spoke in fa
vor of the ordinance. The discussion
became torrid at times and some ra
ther personal remarks were passeS be
tween members of the council and the
opponents ot the measure. Many
were in favor of leaving thematter
to be voted on by the people and it
is probablethat the initiative and ref
erendum will be resorted to in order
to recall the ordinance.
The Bolton sewer ordinance passed
the second reading and all bills were
approved "and orderedpald. .
Among other transactions of the
council were a motion to gravel and
repair certain walks and a motion
that the fire bell be repaired if possi
ble. The council adjourned to meet
in s'pecial session on the 19th of April.

Memorial Serviecs Being Planned
At the request of Meade Post, G. A.
R., Willamette Falls Post, of the Am
erican Legion will make arrange
ments for the annual memorial ser
vice this year.
The plans for the re-organization of
the working system of the Oregon
City Commercial Club are going for
ward as rapidly as possible. Secretary
Clay spent the first part of this week
in checking up on the drive which
ended April first and has-now about'
completed that work. There are still
a few reports from teams not in, but
these will be compiled in the near fu
ture. The membership to date is ap
proximately 700.
The work of the Club is to be con
ducted in the future upon the depart
mental system. There will be at least
eleven 6f them with every member of
the Club upon- some one of these de
partments. It will be the" member's
privilege to choose the department in
which he, would rather 'work.
As soon as the membership has
been assigned to departments each de
partment will hold ,an organization
meeting in the club, at which time a
chairman and executive committee
will be elected. The chairman of each
department becomes automatically a
member of the governing board of the
club.
Immediately at the close of the
campaign, Mr. Clay wrote to Commer
cial Organizations throughout Oregon
asking the privilege for Oregon City
members in good standing of recipro
cal relations in State Clubs. The first
reply to these letters was received
Wednesday from the Toledo,. 'Oregon,
Chamber of Commerce saying, "We
will be more than pleased to have the
members of your Club when visiting
in this vicinity make use of the ac
commodations we have provided for
our members, the latch string is out,
tell your boys to pull it and make it
and make themselves at home." On
Thursday morning good letters were
received from the Tillamook Chamber
of Commerce, and the Yamhill Com
munity Club, both of which express
themselves as more than pleased to
enter into reciprocal relations -with
Oregon City. Every mail now will
bring other communities which will
be added to the local list, so that any
business man of Oregon City in visit
ing any other town in the State will
be accorded full Club privileges
Initiative Measures
For November Ballot
That there will be two initiative
measures submitted to the people at
the November election is the plan of
he Tax Reduction league.
One is an Equalization of Assess
ment measure and the other is a
Graduated Incofe Tax law. Under the
former all property except farm will
be assessed at 100 per cent of their
cash value. Farms are to be assessed
at one-third their cash value.
In the equalization assessment pro
position there is included the repeal
of thel.2 mill tax for the U. of O., O.
A. C, and Normal school. C. Schue
bel, the author of this -bill, claims
that with the increased taxes coming
from equal assessments the remaining
.7mi 11 tax will be sufficient "for these
state educational institutions. -
A special committee consisting of
C. Schuetel, Oregon City; Dr. W. W.
Slaughter. Salem and J. D. Brown,
Portalnd has been appointed to confer
with the higher educational Institu
tions on this matter.
Teachers Meeting

able in the grade schools and what
changes in science, history, industry
and civics should be made in the
high school curriculum.
In the afternoon, the county unit
plan was discussed by Principal J. W.
Leonhardt of Gladstone and Mrs.
Emile Shaw of the Sunset school.

The last Clackamas county candi
date to file for nomination at the
May primary Is Judge J. U. Campbell

Highway Commission De
cide Pracitcally Between
Three Routes
MILLS INTERESTED
Fifth Street Over the Hill Route Most
Favored Reported Corporations
Will Help Finance
For many months the matter of
connecting the Pacific Highway now
improved from Portland to Bolton
and from Canemah on south has been
one of the absorbing topics of dis
cussion.
The big problem in connection with
this missing highway link has been
to finance it. Another perplexing
phase of the matter has been to de
cide which of three routes the im
provement should occupy. Of these
the Basin route is the most expensive
and the Third "Street the least expen
sive. The Basin route to Canemah 'pasres
through a section occupied, by indus
trial plants and where the safety-of
workmen passing to and "fro at their
worw are in danger from passing ve
hicles. And again these "plants de
sire room for further expansion. The
railroad crossing at Canemah is an
other menace to human life. These
dangers would be eliminated by es
tablishing the hill route with an over
head crossing at Canemah.
The Third street route presents the
difficulty of the short turn at ' the
crossing but follows the same course
up and along the bluff, as the Fifth
street route.
The Fifth street way offers a better
grade than Third street and elimi
nates the same dangers while both
furnish fine scenic features.
The people of Canemah naturally
desire the basin route as more direct
to Oregon City and insist that the
car service discontinued some time
ago, shall be ocntinued. It is report
ed that the P. R. L. & P. will accede
to this desire and the footpath will be
retained but no autos or other ve
hicles will be allowed between Oregon
City and Canemah in case the route
is over the hill.
The business interests between
Fifth and Third Streets naturally, too,
having established themselves-- at
large expense desire the Third street
route
The situation a present is one of
deciding estimates to determine the
costs of each proposed route. The
highway commission has decided up
on the Fifth street route and the cor
porate interests, including the P. R.
L. & P., it is understood, will help
very materially to finance the project
PACIFC UNIVERSITY
RAISES $28,090 FOR
BUDGET
The alumni association of the Pacif
ic University at -Forest Grove have
as the result of the recent campaign
in) behalf of the institution raised
?28,000. This will care for a deficit
and will also insure the continued op
eration of the school next year.
Plans for increasing the present en
dowment funds are under way. The
university now has an enrollment of
150 students and owns land and build
ings to the value of $700,000.
Schoolmasters Will Meet
A meeting of the WlauKamas Coun
ty schoolmaster's club is scheduled
for Saturday this week at 11:00
o'cock A. M. at Wilamette. A fine
time is in store for all who will at
tend. The following fac similie an
nouncement from the secretary of the
organization should Inspire all mem
bers to be present "Lunch free"!
"Without Price"! "Indulge yourself!"
Discussion will be warm and courag
eous. Everybody should be present.
Distinguished Visitor Honored
Marshall Joffre's reception in Port
land has been an innovation. What
impressed him most it is stated in the
greeting of the thousands of school
children along the line of march. His
visit to the United States Veterans'
Hospita lrevealed one at least of the
characteristics which marked his ca
reer as a leader of men tender hu
man sympathy.
Joffre is known and wil be remem
bered in history for his victory at the
Marne. It was here during the world
war that after a series of defeats dur
ing four days and nights of continu
ous fighting, he hatled and turned
back 2,500,000 of the German forces
toward their own land. And this
great feat was performed after the
Germans had swept through Belgium
and were within thirty miles of Paris,
Forest Examiner Will Lecture
A. G. Jackson, forest examiner for
the government will give an illustrat
ed elcture on The Forest Ranger at
the Congregational church on Sunday
evening. The lecture will deal with
the nationalf orests of Oregon, the U.
S. Forest Serviec and the use of the
forests by the public.
Taxation was "it" in the Commer
cial Club program held von Tuesday
evening.
William Stone spoke on the legis
lative appropriations stating that they
were usually crowded through the leg
islature during the last hours of the
sessions when too little consideration
was given them. The need he said
was for cutting down expenses of the
state by greater efficiency. He de
cried -attempts to curtair educational
and road assessments but urged re
trenchment
Grant B. Dimick protested vigorous
ly the waste, and ineffiicency in tie
present administration of state affairs
He favored such plan as is in opera
tion in the state of Washington where
under an administrative code without
lot of commissions and boards, a
deficit of 2,600,000 has been wiped
out during the first year just closed.
He condemned unnecessary special
appropriations, advocated all necess
ary funds for the U. of O., O. A. C. and
Normal school.
C. Schuebel stressed the assess
ment system as wrong. He declared
that business is assessed on only 8
to 12 per cent of actual valuation
while farm lands are paying 40 to 50
per cent and the salaried man who
does not own property pays practical
ly nothing.
As a remedy he proposed a gradu
ated income tax and laws requiring
the assessment of business property
at full cash values. He urged assess-
fents of business property at full cash
values. He urged assessing corpora
tions upon their gross income rather
than upon the property values and
farm property at one third of its cash
value. This latter would be comput
ed on a basis of 2 per cent income
compared with a 6 per cent income
on business property. He held the
savings proposed by cutting off non
essential appropriations to "be of
small consequence.
F. J. Tooze declared that the state
prison, the boys trammg school and
the girls industrial school could and
should be put on a self supporting ba
sis by substituting for "politics" good
sound business sense and effort.
He also favored a millage tax for
the support of the higher educational
institutions but no speical appropria
tions unless in Real Emergency.
W. W.. Woodbeck prophesied oppo
sition to the legislative members who
would make the penal and reforma
tory institutions self supporting, and
advocated county institutional care of
its poor and employment ,of insane
in the state institutions at profitable
work. He cautioned also
against errors in curtailment of ap
propriations which might result in
real savings.
George Pusey Better
George Pusey, who has been at the

the strike districts the government
will do what seems best in the mat
