Professor J. C. Zlnser, auperlntea
ent of schools for Clackamaa county,
and C. Schuebel, deputy district at

City Council at Its laat meeting, and
requested that body to donate a block
of land In thl city as a site for a pro
posed county high school. The subject
wa taken under advisement
Sentiment throughout the county
is largely for a high school, the coun
ty at the present time having no such
educational Institution although ad
vanced grades are maintained in th9
Oregon City and Parkplace schools.
In the proposed donating of a site
for such a school it advocates be
lieve that a big step will have been
taken towards securing the proposed
Institution.

loan he would surely receive betweeu
$1000 and $1200, the confidence opera
tors gave him the laugh, told their
victim that they had divided the $250
between them and dared htm to invoke
the law- In his behalf.
The suspicions of Case that he had
been buncoed found confirmation
within the next day or two when Zoos
man came to him again and suggested
that they join forces and Induce Jen
nings to put up $."00 to further finance
the scheme and then they would di
vide that sum between themselves
and at least bo even with tho game.
Hut Case refused to play his hand any
farther and made complaint at the
office of Justice Llvy Stlpp. Both
Zoosmnn and Jennings were promptly
located and arrested by Constable
Trembath. When confronted by Case
they returned to him his $250 and
then Case refused to appear as pros
ecuting witness against tho two men
who had victimized him.
Before further proceedings could
be taken against Zoosman and Jen
