Tax Hearing Postponed
The committee on the Oregon Tax
Investigation, has announced the
meeting scheduled for Oregon City,
May 1 and the other meetings so
scheduled for Southern and South
western Oregon have been postponed
until after primary election, May 19.
Reason for the postponement is
found in the fact that Walter M.
Pierce, a member of this commission
is candidate for governor and is the
recipient of strong criticism for trav
eling about the state on this commiss
ion, with the taxpayers footing the
bill.
After the primaries the commission
is expected to complete its work.
Editor Gives Address on Grant
F. J. Tooze gave an address on
General U. S. Grant, at Willamette
this afternoon. The occasion -was the
observance of the centennial anniver
sary of the ex-president's birthday un
der the auspices of the public schools.
ELM TREES MAY BE
SAVED FROM DEATH
SAY SPECIALISTS
Apparatus Needed to Apply Spray Is
Expensive Communities Should
Cooperate
The elm-leaf beetle is now on the
job in every park and whereven there
are elms in Oregon ready to sap the
life from these magnificent ornamen
tal trees as soon as the leaves appear.
Library Park in this city is doomed to
destruction by these pests unless pro
per steps are taken to eradicate them.
And all trees of this variety in the
community must be treated if the
remedy is to be effective.
There are two broods of the de
stroying beetles during the summer
one in June and "a second In August.
They eat and skeletonize the leaves
which die and drop. The trees thus
denuded of their oxygenizing agents
endure only two or three defoliations
before dying. And this will make the
third season for these pests; so it is
now or never in the matter of saving
the elms.
Lead arsenate spray is effective but
to reach the top of the trees power
ful apparatus costing several hundred
dollars is required. Hence communi
ties should cooperate in the work of
saving its most beautiful trees.
Papermakers Win
Playing ragged baseball, the Port
land Kirkpatricks lost the first game
of tha season to Crown Willamettes
Sunday on the West Linn field, 15-2.
Stone, throwing for the locals, gave
ten hits, but with errorless support,
held the visitors to two runs. The
papermakers rapped out 15 hits for
15 runs, and were out in f ltont all the
way.
The Portland Woolen Mills will
oppose the Crown Willamettes on
the same field next Sunday.
The Score:
R. H. E.
Crown Willamettes 15 15 0
Kirkpatricks 2 10 11
Batteries Saone and Stapleton,
Brost and Boland.
RESIDENTS ON SOUTH
END ROAD HAVE
NEW CLUB
About fifty residents of the section
extending along the South End road
via Mount Pleasant formed on Friday
evening last, a brand new Commun
ity club.
Much enthusiasm prevailed and the
members of the new club hope to ac
complish great things for their com
munity by this cooperation.
This community has just succeeded
in obtaining electric lights and the
matter of obtaining pure mountain
water should require only determined
effort. Here's to them the fullest
measure of sucecss in all they under
take. '
The officers of the new organization
are J. M. Dodds, president; W. B.
Lawton, vice-president; Mrs. R. F.
Fisher, secretary and W. J. McCord,
treasurer.
Bonus Legislation
Still in the Air
The outstanding feature of the fed
eral bonus problem during the week
just passed -was the announcement by
Secretary Mellon of the treasure that
there would 'be a deficit of some hun
dreds of millions in the government
strong box next year, even without
taking the bonus into consideration.
This, and the statement of Washing
ton politicians that upwards of 20
senators have expressed themselves
as opposing a bonus in any form at
this time, adds to the gloom of the
ex-service man.
Just at this time, with elections in
the offing, much favorable bonus talk
comes out from Washington, but
very little progress has been made in
surmounting the barrier put up by
President Harding, who has announc
ed he will veto any bonus measure
passed by congress which does not
provide a means of raising the money.
Mrs. Rape Dies at Canby Home
Mrs. Sarah C. Rape, aged 62 years,
wife of Charles F. Rape, died at the
family home in Canby, Wednesday
afternoon. The family have resided
in Canby 13 years. The husband and
two sons. Albert S. of Portland and
Charles A. of Wyoming survive. Fun
eral services in charge of Holman &
Pace will be held from the Nazarene
church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Postal Week Will Be
Nationally Observed
The United States Postal Depart
ment has proclaimed next week, Alay
1 to 6 as Postal Week.
One day will be set aside during
the week for. public inspection at
which time all citizens are invited
to visit the local office and see how
the letters, papers, certificates and
other postal affairs of Uncle Samuel
are handled.
The postmaster and his assistants
of the local office will be glad to
respond to requests to speak before
gatherings upon the postal rules and
regulations.
PRESBYTERIANS ; ARE
HEAVY LOSERS IN
CHURCH FIRE
Fine Edifice at Seventh and
Jefferson Streets Badly .
Damaged
LOSS IS -ABOUT $3,000
Investigations to Determine Source
Still Under Way Indications
Favor Incendiarism
At 2 o'clock on Saturday morning
citizens were aroused by the alarm of
fire which was destroying the beauti
ful Presbyterian church edifice at the
corner of Seventh and Jefferson
streets.
The fire department responded
promptly and confined the blazes to
the eidfice itself, though the parson
age and other dwellings near by were
in grave danger for a time.
The whole interior of the large Sun
day school rooms, the kitchenette and
the wall between the main auditorium
and the annex are so. charred that
these interior portions will have to be
replaced entirely. The roof is badly
damaged, a ocnsiderable portion being
burned away. All the Sunday school
equipment, including chairs, tables,
class division screens, piano and book
case with literature was destroyed.
Investigation shows that the fife
started over the top of the furnace
which is covered with brick and as
bestos, making it practically impossi
ble for.flame.to have been generated
from the furnace itself. The flames
had burned only a few feet in diamet
er in the floor which has given rise to
the belief that it was caused by some
incendiary application at this point in
the floor.
The front door, the Seventh street
entrance, was ajar when the chief of
the fire department arrived and who
expresses the belief that both the
Barclay building and the church were
fired in the same manner.
At jinQlcJaclfeia-ilie- afternoon on
Friday, the last fire was built in the
furnace to warm the rooms for a meet
ing of church ladies and only a few
coals remained in the furnace later
in the afternoon when the janitor
made his last round of the day. The
boy seouts met with their leader, J. C.
Cochran in the church, in the evening
but all left at 9 o'clock. At 12:15
o'clock in the morning as Rev. Edgar
left his study, a few feet from' the
Sunday school rooms where the blaze
was discovered he glanced over that
way casually and everything appeared
normal. At 2:15 John Egdar, the pas
tor's twelve year old son, was awaken
ed by the noise of the fire and gave
the alarm beating to the - telephone
his father who also discovered the
flames at .almost the same moment
Services of the church will be con
tinued as usual, in the Shively Opera
House. The Home Keepers' Econamic
School under the auspices of the La
dies' Missionary Societies will be con
ducted at the Methodist church.
Parkplace Home Badly Damaged
The home of A. W. Benz of Park
place was badly damaged by a fire
Monday afternoon. The fire started
on the roof, either from a defective
flue or from a spark from the chim
ney. The damage which was confin
ed to the roof and upper walls is re
ported to be about $500. There was
noinsurance except on the furniture,
which was removed from the building
without damage.
Congregational Church Services
"What the Bible Means to Me" the
first of a series of addresses on Chris
tian Doctrine will be given by Rev.
Caradoc Morgan on Sufaday morning

A meeting of the Association has
been called for next Tuesday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock at the Commer
cial Club parlors, at which time the
matter of raising money for payment
of the health nurse will be taken up.

the vote on cattle running at large
was canvassed. The result of the el
ection is that bossy must cease her
unrestricted roamings on May the 7th.

CHRISTENING LAUNCH
ADELE, OREGON CITY,
IS BEAUTIFUL
"The Adele of Oregon" City recent
ly built in the Astoria shipyard for
the Hawley Paper company was xhris
tehed on Monday morning this, week
in a unique and beautiful manner.
The christening was performed by
little Eva Adele Hawley, four and
one-half year old granddaughter of W.
P. Hawley, Sr. The little miss ren
dered her part perfectly and was pre
sented' with a large bouquet of Ameri
can Beauty roses.
Those forming the christening par
ty were W. P. Hawley Sr., W. P. Haw
ley Jr., and little daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. Theodore Osmund, Mr. and MrsT
George Pusey and George Pusey Jr.,
Henry Pusey, Ralph Eddy, photog
rapher, and other close friends of Mr.

they enjoyed dinner.
Overseas Veterans
Given Preference
The following recognition has been
taken by the government of the over
seas veterans in the matter of civjl
service appointments:
Under a ruling of the United States
Civil Service Commission, citizens of
the United States who served in the
forces of the Allies during the World
War will be given preference in ap
pointments to civil service positions.
Heretofore, the preference has ex
tended only to those who served in
the American forces, to their widows,
and to their wives under certain con
ditions. In authorizing this extension of the
preference, the Civil Service Commis
sion states that consideration is given
to the fact that service in the forces
of the Allies was in a common com-amnder-in-chief;
that is, after March
29, 1918, when Marshal Foch was plac
ed in command of all the allied forces.
SATURDAY IS DOLLAR
DAY IN OREGON CITY
Local Merchants Stage Cooperative
Selling Event on Large
Scale
The merchants of Oregon City have
planned a selling event "for Saturday,
April 29, on a scale larger than has
ever been attempted here in the past;
and it bids fair to be a real sale
one it will be worth coming miles tp
attend. ' . ' .'
In the past many dollar days have
been held by individual merchants,
sales which were successful because
the buyers of Clackamas county have
learned that when an Oregon City
merchant advertises a sale it is a real
sale, with real bargains in dependa
ble merchandise backed by responsi
ble firms. ,
An event of this sort, in which a
number of the largest merchants co
operate is certain to be doubly attrac
tive because of the variety of offer
ings. Hardware, furniture, drygoods,
groceries and many other lines are
represented and the wise buyer will
do well to lay in a ' supply such
events do not come often.
Read the ads in this issue, they
speak for themselves, then give your
home merchant a chance to show you
what he can do to help combat our
mutual enemy, the High. Cost of Liv
ing. Drive Nets Many Books
The recent drive for books for the
local public library netted about 300
books with others promised.
(Carrol
Wesley Carrol, eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. F. Carroll, died at the family
home in Willamette, Oregon, Easter
morning, April 16th at 1:00 a. m. His
death resulted from an attack of ty
phoid fever, with which he had been
sick for over three weeks. The shock
of his death was a blow to . his par
ents and many friends who had not
realized that his illness was so ser
ious! Wesley Carroll was sixteen years,
seven months and twenty-eight days
old at the time of his death. He was
a junior in the. West Linn Union
High school and was well liked by all
as a student and classmate; he was
ever a studious boy, and maintained,
excellent records as a student He
was greatly interested in all lines of
athletics, and was responsible for or
ganizing "The Midgets" basket ball
team one composed of boys weighing
less than 125 lbs., and which played
a full schedule of games during the
past season.
His loss is mourned by a sister, Ce
celia; a brother, Masley; and-the fa
ther and mother. His funeral attest
ed to the popularity of the Boy in
the community. The -entire high
school student body and faculty were
present, as, was also the Willamette
grade school, from which he had grad
uated. Many beautiful floral offerings
were sent by numerous organizations
and friends and a very fitting tribute
and eulogy was delivered by the Rev.
Mr. Pettibone, pastor of the Baptist
church. -
ORATORIO SOCIETY
RENDERS SPLENDID
PROGRAM
Community Known for Its
Excellent School and
Musical Talent
CHORUS NUMBERS 46
Oregon City Audience Loud in Praise
For Rendition of "The Holy City"
On Sunday Evening
Last Sunday evening was musical
evening with the celebrated Whitney
boys' chorus at the First Baptist
church, and the Colton Oratorio So
ciety at the First Congregational.
We have all heard of Lindsborg,
the singing community of Kansas,
whose annual oratorios attract thous
ands of yeople as to a Bayreuth or
an Oberammergau. But few have re
alized that in the backwoods of Clack
amas county, in the very foothills of
the Cascade mountains, Oregon has a
community of singers who are not
afraid to tackle the most difficult re
pertoires, a weathy settlement of
thrifty Swedes and Americans who
from childhood have sung until their
voices blend with unusual harmony.
Colton, a center of sawmills and stu
dents, boasts a high school of excep
tional merit, and farmer boys and
girls who spend the rainy winter eve
nings in rehearsing musical classics.
Under the direction of Mrs. Mildred
Anderson-Hult, supervisor of music is
the high school, the Colton Oratorio
Society on Sunday evening rendered
Gaul's "Holy City" with a chorus of
forty-six singers before a capacity au
dience at the Congregation church in
Oregon City.
It is not too much to say that the
solos, duets, trios, quartets and
choruses would have done credit to
singers of any conservatory of music,
and that their joy in their work was
a pleasure, to behold. The Chicago
Grand ' Opera artists commercialize
their song, the Colton "singers so far
are singing as the larks sing, for
pure love of melody.
Colton, the richest school district
in Clackamas county, on account of
the big timber interests, has consoli
dated grades and a union high with
a dormitory with matron for students.
Professor Edgar R. Means, at the
head of the school for a number of
years, is leading in every progressive
movement. Mrs. Anderson-Hult, su
pervisor of music, delights in her
work and every child sings, trained
from the first grade up in concert
and individual work. At Christmas
tiem they gave a cantata, and ambit
ious msuical efforts are annual occur
rences. It is hope to have the Colton
Oratorio singers some Sunday afternoon-
at the coming Gladstone Park
Chautauqua. Many of them have been
regular attendants there for years.
Sunday Schools Get Together
Carver, Highland, and Logan, Sun

all are to get thoroughly acquainted
at this time and spend a season so

gaged in the grocery business during
the past year. He is survived by a

COMMERCIAL CLUB
ENTERTAINS NEW
MEMBERS
Two Hundred Persons Present to Cel
ebrate Sucecss of Recent Drive
Program Varied
The Commercial Club played host
to its several score of new members
on Friday night last
A business meeting was held prior
to the first entertainment number. In
this part of the meeting new by-laws
providingfor reorganization of the
club were voted. Thanks were extend
ed to Willard P. Hawley Jr., for his
efforts to install radio connections for
the entertainment, but which he found
impossible on account of mechanical
obstacles. All were disappointed at
foregoing the pleasure of the radio
concert.
O. D. Eby delivered an address of
welcome to the new members and
dwelt upon the value of interest and
participation in ten affairs of the or
ganization. Garland Hollowell sang several fine
solos which were encored enthusias
tically. Then came wrestling matches the
first between Chester Newton," coast
champion at 125 pounds and Walter
Whitcomb of the U. of O. Newton ob
tained the decision by two falls with
in five minutes. George Tatro and
Reggie Russel wrestled to a draw in
two bouts.
Then there were several fistic en
counters, one between two little lads
about nine years old who pounded
each other around for. awhile to the
seeming great delight of the specta
tors, another between George Hale
and Melvin Charles, whose animosity
served as the basis for genuine effort
to get even by ummeling each oth
er. As a real fight for blood it struck
12; also Mickey Schulson and Jack
Barry dee-lighted the crowd with a
lively slugfist and John Dun and
"Crackie" Warren did likewise. "J.
B. J.", sporting editor of the Morning
sheet refereed and Ed L."Johnson was
official timekeeper.
Frank Cramer in charge of the pro
gram kept things' moving at a lively
pace.' The jazz orchestra played its
best, and L. A. Morris supervised re
freshments. G. A. R. And W. R. C.
Plan Visits to Schools
Meade Post No. 2, G. A. R. and
Meade Post W. R. C. have completed
plans for their annual visits to the
schools of Clackamas county prior to
Memorial day. These visits are in
the nature of patriotic instruction by
the Posts and offer opportunity to the
schools to reciprocate, in a small way,
for the efforts of the organization in
behalf of educational and progressive
liberty. "
The program outlined includes vis
its:" Tuesday, May 16, Oregon City

Banner-Courier Shop
Has Small Blaze
The home of the ' Banner-Courier
was saved from what might have been
a serious fire Thursday afternoon,
when a quantity of oil soaked metal
blazed up in the stereotype melting
pot in the rear of the shop.
Quick work with a small chemical
powder extinguisher in the hands of
Mr. Boehmer, the shop foreman, was
all that saved the day. -
In the short time it took to snatch
the extinguisher from the wall, the
fire had flared up and was burning
rapidly up the lower side of the stair
way leading to the hall above, and
the room was filled with flames and
smoke-.
By the time the fire department ar
rived the flames had been extinguish
ed and while their services were not
needed much credit is due them for
their quick run. - - ;
Mr. Lorenzo Adkins Buried on Sunday
The funeral of Lorenzo Adkins, who
died at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Sarah Adkens of Mulino, Frjday.was
held at the Holman & Pace chapel
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. It
was well attended, many friends
coming from Mulino. Rev. C. Mor
gan of the Congregational churchn
ducted the services. The pall bearers'
were old friends of the deceased. His
remains were laid to rest beside his
mother in the Zion cemetery at Canby.:
OLD SINGER MILL SITE
CHOSEN DY COUNCIL
FOR CITY HALL
Measure AdoDted Onlv
One Dissenting Vote That
of Dr. Mount
COUNCIL CHOOSE PLAN
Canemah Park Will Hereafter Be
Known as Hawley Park Resolu
' tion Adopted by Council
The city council at a special meet
ing held Monday evening with but onc
dissenting vote, that of Dr. Hugh S.
Mount, accepted the old Singer Sill
site as the site for the new city hall '
for which a bond issue of $35,000 was
authorized more than two years ago.
Plans presented to the council by Ed
mund Bergholtz of Portland showed
that the site was adapted for a four- '"'
story building, 55x70 feet, providing
quarters for all city offices, city jail '
and fire department with the top
floor designed for a municipal auditor- ?
ium. The building as designed is of
steel and reinforced concrete con
struction, and construction costs esti- "
mated at $33,Q00. City Attorney Os
car D. Eby stated that in his opinion
there would be no legal obstacles in
the way of 'choosing this property as
the site for the city building. Atten
tion was called by the architect to
the scenic advantages of the site and
the opportunity afforded to give the
proposed building an attractive set
ting. Other plans were presented by Er
nest Kroner of Portland. The latter
plans did not provide for an auditor
ium and it is generally understood
that .the Bergholtz plans will meet
with approval.
Draft New Ordinance
A new ordinance covering the oper
ation of wagons engaged in the -wholesale
trade and delivering good ) ior
re-sale passed first reading and will
come up at the next regular meeting
of the council for final passage. A
license fee of $120 per year payable .
quarterly in advance is provided for
by the ordinance which exempts
growers- of produce from its provis
ions. Name of Park Changed
The council adopted a resolution
changing the name of Canemah Park
to Hawley Park in honor of W. P.
Hawley, Sr., of the Hawley Pulp and
Paper company, who has rendered
substantial assistance in promoting
the establishment of the park, which
is considered one of the finest automo
bile parks between Los Angeles and
Seattle.
Commercial Club
Makes New Plans
Just how soon the re-organization
of the Commercial Club working sys
tem will be put into effect and begin
functioning now depends in large
measure upon the members of the
Club themselves. Secretary Clay has
sent letters to the members of the
Club outlining the duties and pro
vinces of the eleven departments of
the Club. In the same letter a postal
card has been enclosed upeto which
the member is to signify his choice
of departments, and which he is to
mail to the Club office. As soon as
these cards have been received the
membership I of the various depart
ments will be made out, and begin
ning with next week the first depart
mental meetings will be held. At
the first meeting of each department
the organization of the department
will be made and the work of the
departments for the year will be out
lined. Without exception a great deal of
work is awaiting each department,
and it is the earnest desire of , the
Club management that this work be
started as soon as possible.
Much therefore depends upon how
soon the membership of the Cluj
sends in the cards indicating choice
of departments. . '
Church Insurance Adjusted
The insurance adjusters have
agreed to allow to the local Presby
terian Board of Trustees an amount
equal to the necessary cost of repair
