Accident at Paper Mills
Ed. Jordan, an employe In the
machine room at the Willamette Pulp
& Paper Company's mill, while ad
justing a belt Saturday, suffered the
breaking of his right arm which was
badly mangled. Jordan is a married
man and had worked in the mill for
some time.
Freight Car Jumps Track
One of the cars in the middle of a
long south-bound Southern Pacific
freight train jumped the track just
south of this city Saturday morning.
Other than demolishing the derail
ed car, tearing up the track and de
laying passenger traffic for two hours,
no damage was done.
Marriage Licenses Principally
County Clerk Greenman experienc
ed a busy day Monday in the issuance
of marriage licenses. During the day
five of these permits were granted as
follows: Rena Wewer and Peter Vet
sch; Mrs. Anna White and J. B. Miller;
Phoebe E. Embry and Waldemer Ban

an officer went to make the arrest,
the acused man escaped and kept in
hiding. Friday night he returned to
this city and was promptly detected
and placed under arrest.
Our National Cash Bpx
The count of the cash in the Treas
ury, completed on September 19,
showed that the Government posses
sed actual, physical money to the
amount of over a billion and a quar
ter dollars more than twice the in
demnity vainly demanded of Russia
by Japan. It may give a little better
idea of the size of the hoard turned
over by Mr. Roberts to Mr. Treat if
we say that the silver alone weighed
over fifty thousand tons, and that if
the doors of the Treasury were thrown
open to all comers it would take over
twelve thousand persons to carry
away the gold, at the rate of two hun
dred pounds apiece.

Heavy Rain Damages Dam
Damage from the receet fpeshet has
resulted to the expensive dam and
other improvements that are being
made by the Oregon Water Power &
Railway Company at its property at
Cazadero. As a result of heavy rain
fall, this mountain stream raised rap
idly, the surplus water rushing out
of the banks and around the, end of
the dam, creating damage to the im
provements that are being made. The
extent of the damage depends on con
tinued rainfall.

Wm. Munsey Dead
William Newton Munsey, a pioneer
of 1853, died at his home in this city
Monday night. The deceased was a
native of the state of Virginia where
he was born in 1850, coming to Oregon
with his parents when he was three
years of age. Early in the 60's he
went to California where he success
fully engaged in the stage business,
agricultural and mining pursuits.
While in California, he married and
returned to Oregon City in 1878 and
has lived here continuously. He is

Found Dead in Bed
Mrs. Rachel Busby, an aged and
highly respected citizen of Willamette,
was found dead in bed Sunday morn
ing at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Fuller. She went to bed the evening
before and was apparently in her
usual health, which was considered
good for a person of her age. Coroner
Holman was notified. He summoned
Dr. W. E. Carll and on his statement
decided that an inquest was unneces
sary. It is probable that Mrs. Busby's
death was due to apoplexy and that
she died suddenly and painlessly. She
was born at Trenton, New Jersey, and
lived in this community a long time.
She leaves two married daughters,
living at Willamette, Mrs. Fuller, at
whose house she died, and Mrs. Dow
ney. The funeral was held Monday
afternoon.

Does Mayor Hold Over?
A legal question has come up as to
whether Mayor William Schindler, of
Milwaukie, will hold over for another
year, under the provisions of the new
charter, or whether at the December
election a successor will be elected,
says the Oregonian. The question al
so affects two of the Councilmen. May
or Schindler was elected under the
old charter for one year, as were all
the Councilmen, but the charter was
amended in several particulars and
these amendments extend the term of
Mayor from one to two years, and al
so that of the Councilmen. If these
amendments apply to the incumbents,
Mayor Schindler will continue in of
fice another year, and two of the pres
ent Councilmen also will remain. At
Milwaukie, there is difference of opin
ion, some holding that the Mayor and
all present city officers were elected
to office under the old charter for one
year, and that the amendments ex
tending the terms to two years do not
apply to . incumbents, but Mayor
Schindler and his friends think the
amendments apply to present officers.
The annual election takes place the
first Monday in December, and the
question will have to be settled one
way or the other before that time.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins a child's disposi-
xion and reacts upon herself. The
"trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely nnfit to bear

One Farm Divided Into Many
The newspapers have recently re
corded the sale of the Barlow home
stead, which is located at Barlow, Or
egon. This is not a case where the
land was disposed of through neces
sity. It illustrates a change that is
taking place in the Willamette Valley
to quite an extent already and is like
ly to take place more rapidly from
this time on. The farm of the late
William Barlow at one time included
1400 acres. His children have engag
ed in other occupations than farming,
and in recent years he sold off much
of the land in small tracts, mostly to
persons of Norwegian birth and an
cestry. The old home place, with a
magnificent double row, of black wal
nut trees, remained the property of
his daughter, until a few days ago,
when she sold it the tract of 134
acres bringing $17,500. The fact the
purchaser is also a Norwegian indi-
cates that the prior purchasers have
done well. Thus the former farm of
1400 acres, which was occupied only
Dy Mr. 5ariow ana nis lamiiy, now
supplies farm homes for a populous
community, which is the mainstay of
the village of Barlow. A portion of
the 1400-acre farm yet remains the
property of William Barlow's son.
While for sentimental reasons one
cannot but regret to see the home
which was owned by William Barlow
passing out of the hands of his de
pendents, yet in this case as in many
similar cases the change of ownership
results to the benefit of many persons,
and promotes the general welfare.

that the action taken by Evening Star
Grange anticipated the effort that was
contemplated to get the support of
the Patrons of Husbandry and similar
organizations in this state. However,
as members of these commercial bod
ies were either at the Exposition or
absent Saturday, no definite informa
tion as to a plan of action could be
secured. Mr. Paget was authorized
by the committee today before the
Board of Trade and the Chamber o
Commerce to offer to secure the In
dorsement of the Patrons of Husband
ry in this state and in Washington to
the effort to secure Government as
sistance in deepening the ship chan
nel, and these communications Mr.
Paget has already sent.
The Patrons have something over
5000 members in Oregon, and about
the same number in Washington. It
was the opinion of the committee that
the Patrons of Oregon practically as
a whole would support the movement
for Government aid. J. .J. v Johnson,,
chairman of the committee and mas
ter of Evening Star Grange, said, at
the committee meeting: "Every farm
er, not only of Oregon, but of Wash
ington, is interested in getting a per
maneat deep river channel from Port
land to the sea. Farmers are interest
ed for the reason that such a channel
will make Portland a better harbor
and market for their products. I am
sure that they stand ready to do what
they can in that direction, and we are
ready to take up the matter as soon
as the commercial bodies give us the
word."

would have to be consulted and the
court be appealed to, but even then
the dissatisfied husband apparently
was not convinced but what there was
a misunderstanding on the part of the
official. He left finally, sighing as he
closed the door behind him.
Half an hour later, the official passed
out, he found a woman standing in
the corridor. She was apparently
waiting for somebody. The official
knew her and inquired if she wanted
anything. "I am waiting for my hus
band to come out. He and I are go
ing to separate, and he went in there
a while ago to get the divorce written
out, and he hasn't come back yet."

Four hundred and thirty-eight hunt
er's licenses have been issued at the
county clerk's office. That is a re
minder that a boy dropped into the
office the other day and wanted a "dog
tax." He was told that the toffice
taxed brides and grooms for marriage
licenses and figured out many other
kinds of taxes, but that it had no bus
iness relations in dog taxes. The lad
hung around, unsatisfied-like, and the
obliging officials finally suggested that
instead of a "dog tax it was perhaps
a hunter's license that , he wanted.
"Oh yes, that's it: that's what I want"
and within a few minutes he left the
place license in hand, and his face
beaming.
There are other things than dog
taxes, hunter's licenses, and the like
that they call on the county clerk for.

then she and I'll go each our own

CLEVERNESS AND CHARM.
Woman's Greatest Charm is a Glowing
Complexion.
Every woman's aim should be to
cultivate a fresh, blooming complex
ion, for while Nature may not have
made her attractive in form and fea
ture, theh' charm of a clear skin and
a healthy complexion can be had if
she will only try for it. The greatest
enemy of a good complexion is consti
pation, and if it were known how
many Oregon City ladies have im
proved their appearance through us
ing a simple laxative remedy on sale

might surprise you. - Laxakola Tonic
Tablets are a perfect combination of
dandelion, cascarin and other vege

liarly beneficial action upon the skin.
They open the pores, enrich the blood,
aid the natural changes of the skin,
quicken the circulation, put new col
or in the cheeks and cure chronic con
stipation by regulating and encourag
ing the action of the bowels. Huntley
