Union High School
To Open September 5
The union hugh school at "West
Linn will open its doors Sept. 5th for
school Work. A complete faculty has
been secured for the coming year, as
follows: Chas. F. Beatie, science and
athletic coach; W. W. Davis, manual
training; Vesta Lamb, commercial;
Helen Leathers, girls physical train
ing and music; C- O. Main, mathe
matics; Erma Readen, domestic sci
ence; Ruth Schaeffer, history; Myrtle
Tobey, English; J. W. Sutherland, for
eign languages; J. L. Gary, principal.
An increase in enrollment over that
of last year is looked for, as many
students who have formerly attended
Portland high schools, are planning
to enroll. The total enrollment for
last year was 181; this year it is ex
pected' to exceed 200. Pamphlets out
lining the courses and work offered
have been mailed to a large number
of prospective students, and .judging
from advance inquiries the school will
be crowded.
An automobile buss will be operated
again this year to bring in students
from outlying districts, where no other
means of transportation is available;
about thirty-five were accommodated
in this manner last year.
West Linn high school has made a
wonderful growth in the past, two
years and it has accomplished much in
that time to bring it to the attention
of the educational world.
The school is equipped with the
very best in the line of apparatus and
school supplies, and has been very
fortunate each year in having a facul
ty composed of competent instructors,
who know the value of co-operation.
The student body organization is a
live one, and has had the full support
of the students, thus enabling it to do
a great deal along constructive lines.
The parents and patrons of the dis
trict are progressive boosters, who
know the value of good schools, and
they have selected a board of educa
tion who devote a great deal of time
to bettering the schools.
All indications point to a big year
at the school opening.

JUDGE NOBLE OFFERS
REMEDY FOR BOOZY
WOOZY BUG
Suggests Penitentiary Sentences As
Effective Means To Stimulate.
Regard For Law.
In addition to fining his. boqzeship
?500 and presenting him -with a sen
tence of 90 days in jail, Judge Noble
further informed Lawrence Thompson
that he regretted his lack of power
to give him a term in the penitentiary.
The Judge evidently believes in a
good stiff jail sentence as the best
means of dealing with bootleggers and
moonshiners, and in this opinion he is
only one of those who believe in the
enforcement of the law.
Thompson was arrested on Friday
night for moonshine operations, after
the sheriff and deputies had located
iand captured his still. Two copper
j stills , of 75 and 50 gallon capacity
;were foun(j in one building, while in
j another was 300 gallons of mash in
barrels.,
j with an eye to economy and thrift,
the operator used one of the stills
for the manufacture of the booze and
then made a re-run through the other.
Thompson claims he sold his pro
duct to Portland parties. Not having
paid his fine, he has begun boarding
out both fine and jail term in the
"bootleggers paradise" in ' the 'base
ment of the court house.
Marriage Of Everett

MICHAEL COLLINS, IRELAND'S
CHIEF ASSASINATED
Michael Collins, head of the Irish
Free State government, was shot and
killed from ambush on Tuesday by
rebels, whom he was trying to pacify.
For some time his life had been
threatened. His escapes while leading
his troops against the insurgents had
been miraculous and it was only when
apparently the last of those who are
in arms against the government were
on the wane that he was taken thus
from his country's service. "
The death of Collins is a stunning
blow to Ireland. He it was who, with
Griffith, had been instrumental in in
ducing his people to accept the free
state government. He was the head of
the government and finance minister
of the Dial. .
Ireland mourns his loss as the out
standing figure among her military
heroes and statesmen.
The effect on Ireland's government,
with De Valera still in opposition, is
difficult to forecast.

"Way Of Transgressor Is Hard"
Mrs. Charles Straight, whose recent
moonshine operations brought her in
to court, was fined ?500 and sentenced
to six months in the county jail. Her
sister, Mrs. Smith, who was in the
house with her and destroyed some of
the stock of booze while the officers
were attempting to capture it, was
sentenced to sixty days in jail.
At this writing this paper is in
formed that both are at the Straight
home, awaiting the preparation, of a
place at the jail for their reception and
maintance. Care of the three children
of the Straights will be arranged for

SENATE VOTE 4825
Measure Sent To Conference Between
Senate and House Will be Rushed
To Completion.
The Senate has passed the Fordney-
MoCumber tariff measure, after one of
the most bitterly fought tariff contests
in'the history of congress. The vote
was 48 to 25.
Party lines with, very few excep
tions were held together on the bill.
Borah was the only Republican who
voted no and La Follette of Wisconsin
was paired with Norris against it.
Three democrats voted for it. These
were, Randell and Broussard of Louisi
ana and Kendrick of Wyoming. Mc
Nary and Stanfield, of course, regis
tered for it.
Comments on the (bill show diamet
rically opposite views on it, as. is usual
on tariff legislation of any knd.
McCumber declares its result will be
the stabilization of American labor,
while David Nash, democrat, who led
the fight against the bill, says it is the
most abominable legislative act of the
present congress.
With regard to the. rates affecting
the northwest especially, there is vig
orous contest. The farm bloc tariff
desires have been quite generally mus
tered, but what changes will occur as
a result of the conference can only be
conjectured. The Senate favors 33
cents a pound on clean wool, the
House 25 cents. The Senate defeated
the 50 cents a thousand on shingles
and voted for free logs, free hides, 24
cents a .pound on hops and 8 cents a
pound on butter and all butter substi
tutes. On hides, hops and butter fats
the House and Senate concurred.
The following are some of the rates
so far agreed upon:
Cattle weighing less than 150
pounds, ll2 cents per pound; over that
weight, 2 cents.
Sheep and goats, $2 per head.
lunch, there was a program of athletic
Cheese and substitutes, 5 cents per
pound, but not less than 25 per cent
ad valorem.
Live poultry, 3 cents per pound;
dressed, 6 cents.
Eggs in shell, 8 cents per dozen;
frozen, 6 cents per pound; dried, 18
cents.
Honey, 3 cents per pound.
Halibujt, salmon and mackerel, 2
cents per pound.
Barley, 20 cents per tbushel; oats,
15 cents; rye, .15 cents; wheat, 30
cents. . ' - -
Cherries, natural state or in brine, 2
cents per pound; maraschino or pre
served, 45 per cent ad valorem.
Walnuts, 4 cents per pound, unshell
ed? 12 cents, shelled.
'Onions, 1 cent per pound.
Potatoes, 58 cents per 100 pounds.
Hay, $4 per ton.
Hop extract, $2.40 per pound.
It is estimated that the schedule will
produce upwards of $600,000,000 an
nually. Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Howell and sons,

SENIORITY RIGHTS DEFER SET
TLEMENT OF R. R. STRIKE
The settlement of the railroad strike
depends now upon the matter of
seniority. Although at the beginning
of the strike, the men were urged, to
come back under seniority rules, they
ignored the request and new men
were taken on with the understanding
that they would be retaied under con
ditions assumed.
Now, however, those who went out
on strike are holding steadfastly to
these rights as a condition of return to.
work. And on this phase of the mat
ter both executives and men are as
far apart as ever.

ton and British Columbia, during July

BALANCED FEEDS MAKE MEAT
With Suitable Rations and Careful Su
pervision Farmer Should Make
Hogs Pay.
There is no place on the farm where
it will pay the farmer for keeping his
weather-eye peeled, and his think-tank
active, as when he is feeding his do
mestic animals. Balanced rations will
help to turn coarse feeds into high
priced meat products, but along with
balanced rations must gor balanced per
sonal supervision. With both, the
farmer who can't make money raising
hogs in these days has something to
learn.
Lack of Protein.
The lack of protein causes animals
to shed their hair late in the spring,
and causes them to fatten slowly dur
ing the early pasture season. The
feeding of straw likewise causes this
condition.
Good Mixture for Lambs.
Lambs should begin to nibble at
grain when about two weeks of age.
A good mixture is ground corn two
parts, crushed oats two parts, linseed
meal one part, wheat bran one part

ism Is Emphazied.
' The political atmosphere of Oregon
was rendered more tense than ever on
Saturday last by the launching of two
new political parties in Portland.
Before the records in the late la
mented Hall-Olcott recount had had
time to dry, there appeared on the
political horizon these two illumina
ions. The first of these the "Progressive
Party of Oregon," with an attendance
of about 300 persons, met at the Cen'
tral Library in Portland, planned for
state and county conventions and ad
journed. Norman Richards' and George
L. Cleaver were chairman and secre
tary, respectively. Fred L. Gifford
with these two, it was shown in the '
minutes of a previous meeting, had
been appointed a committee to ar-.
range for state and county conven
tions. Gifford is head of the state or
ganization of the K. K. K.
It was made clear that two chief
planks will Ibe found in the platform
of the party after the state conven
tioncompulsory education through
the first eight grades in the public
schools and America for Americans,
including no land holdings by aliens.
At the conventions, which will be held
as early as possible, a candidate for
state treasurer will be Dominated and
probably endorsements of other offi
cers made. The membership roll was
opened at this meeting and about 100 -persons
enrolled.
The second ' "third" party move
ment was launched in Alisky Hall on
Saturday evening and was presid
ed over Iby W. P. Wagner. F. C.
Coulter, a leader in this meeting, at
tended by about 75 persons, deplored
the fact that housewives and laborers
were not found in the legislature and
produced figures tending to show that
two-thirds of the working man's pro
duction goes to payment of interest on
indebtedness,.
This party announced platforms in
cluding and embodying the principles
of occupational registration and oc
cupational primary selection, removal
of political parties from the ballot, j -ownership
and control of public serv
ice corporations, appropriation' of pub
licly created values, operation of state
and community Ibanks and participa-
