SYSTEM OF MIRRORS MAKES ROAD SAFE Hermann, the great prestidigitator, early In his professional career discov ered the possibilities of the mirror In his legerdemain work, and It has worked wonders with Milady In her boudoir, but It has remained for M. J. Lazelle and T. L- Charman to ubo It as a means of saving human lives. There was a serious automobile acci dent In the tunnel under tfc Southern Pacific tracks at Fourn street several years ago, and other accidents have been narrowly averted. There la a treacherous turn to the right In the road Just after the tunnel Is passed, which automoblllsts fear. But Messrs. La.ello and Charman have solved the problem, and If the city council heeds their advice, It will not be long be fore It will be perfectly safe to make the quick turn at a sharp rate of speed. They have arranged a system of morrors which gives a clear view of the road to persons going In either direction. It Is really a most Ingenu ous device and Messrs. Lazelle and Chnrman are to be congratulated up on their cleverness. MENACING BLAZE The residence of John Smith at Parkplace caught fire Friday, pre sumably from a Roman candle In the hands of . boy. Had It not been for the timely arrival of the neighbors and a large tank from which water was obtained, there would have been a serious confllgratlon, and the grass and building are dry and the flames would have spread rapidly. As It was the roof was slightly damaged. About two years ago W. A. Holmes had built on his place a large water tank having a capacity of 2,000 gal lons with the Intention of having the water taken from a well, but this did not prove satisfactory. A company was formed of three families, and a "Bulldoxer" pump was Installed In the Clackamas River, and there are now eight families getting water to their homes In this manner. Best in the World J. W. Hyatt merchant of Warren, N. C writes: Please send Inclosed order by mall. Sutherland's Eagle Eye Salve is the best eye remedy In the world. Geo. A. Harding, Druggist HOP-PICKERS CROWD NEW RAILROAD TO BE AID TO OREGON CITY A special meeting of the slock hold er of the Clackamas Southern lull way will be hold In Oregon City on September 12 and every stockholder I requested to he present, a the business to be transacted will be very Important. The secretary of the com puny will mall printed notices to all stockholders giving the date of the meeting. The company Is making preparations to begin building Its bridges and laying the track on the grade, now finished, and will probably continue this work all winter. Ore gon City ha a bright future before It, and with a little push and energy of It citizens, tho city will double Its population In less than five years. The building of the line of railway alone means much to this city's fu ture growth, as It will surely bring trade that now goes elsewhere, and as business enterprises spring up In the Interior and the more thickly pop ulated the territory tributary to Ore gon City, merchants and business men hero will get the benefit of In creased trade. It has been said that the present board of directors of the Clackamas Soutborn were foolish to donate their time and attention to this work free of chargo, especially when their busi ness needs their time and attention, but tho farslghted citizen can see that If the Molalla country should get a rallrond to the big timber belts from some other point that Oregon City would be left out and all city property would dopreclate In value. Thataloiiq Is enough to cause every property owner In Oregon City to work for tho early completion of this road. Oregon City at one time got a great deal of trade from the Eagle Creek country, but now the 0. W. P. rail way takes that business away from this city to Portland, and the Oregon Electric railway takes about all the trndo from Wllsonvllle and the west ern part of the county to Portland, and Oregon City Is the loser. The trade from Mullno, Liberal and Mo lalla, would be tuken away from this city by a road Into that beautiful and production section of the county from some other point, and that alone Is enough to cause others to do a little work for the good of the city. HORSE LIVES WITH Frederick Schnfer. president of the Schafer Lumber Co., of Molalla, Is looking for a veterinarian, who can put the vertebrae of a horse's neck, that have been dislocated. In place and keep thom there. Mr. Schafer has worked on the animal for several days, and, although be has succeeded on num erous occasions In getting the verte brae In their proper place they will not stay there. The horse sustained the Injury while tethering last Thursday at the foot of the mountains where the own er and several of his friends had gone to hunt big gome. When they return ed they found the animal suffering severely and a big lump on the aide of Its neck showed plainly what the trouble was. The neck was pressed Into place and the party started for Molalla, but bad not gone more than 100 yards when there was a noise not unlike that made by a fire-cracker. The neck had slipped out of place again. The operation of pressing It Into place was repeated several times, and, finally In his desperation Mr. Schafer obtained another horse to take him and his friends home. Since then every effort has been made to relieve the horse, without success. The vertebrae are easily pressed Into place, but they will not stay there. WORK ON COURT HOUSE Every effort will be made to have the work on the addition to the Court House advanced so that the roof may be put on before the rainy season starts. County Judge Bcatle said Thursday that twenty-four yards of concrete for the basement Is being laid daily. The scaffolding for use in repairing the tower has been erected. The tower will be braced and a flag pole will be erected.- The old flag pole was blown down several years ago. Work has been started on the remodelling of the second floor of the building. The County Court room and several offices will occupy the space of the old Circuit Court room. The new Circuit Court room will be on the second floor of. the addition. 63000 TROUT RECEIVED.

That her husband never came near her or made an Inquiry as to ber condition during the whole time she lay In a serious condition, and when she recovered sufficiently to re turn home, he refused to let her live with him, Is her remarkable allega tion.

He avers they were married April 7. 1907, In Portland, and that a son, Forrest Dale, was born to them October 2. 1908. The plaintiff declares that bis wife left him August 15. 1910.

Tuesday faced a problem in his school work just a little harder than the fourth dimension. He has a steropticon machine which he In tends to use In illustrating lectures, he will make throughout the county In the interest of education. The written Instructions that came with the machine begin as follows: 'It Is so simple a child can operate it." Well, to make what might be a long story short Mr. Gary could not and In an effort to excuse himself, said: "At any rate It proves that I am not a child." M LE Frank Rain, a farmer, came to town Monday to celebrate. He did. The first thing he did was to become In toxicated. Then he stalked forth upon the main thoroughfare of the city. His meanderlngs were as many and pic turesque as those of the Clackamas river. His interference with pedes trians, streetcars and automobiles was enough to make a star football player turn green with envy. Finally Chief of Police Shaw decided to take Mr. Rain In out of the rain. Upon being deprived of his liberty the visitor from the country raved and tore his hair and proceeded to break the furni ture In the Jail. He pulled down a stove pipe, the soot covering him fro"' head to foot, making him look like a chimney sweep when business Is good. The man was then locked in a dark cell, and soon went to sleep.

The case was one of those peculiar ones, which It is difficult to determine Just who Is to blame. The trial was a long one, and it waa evident from the start that Cole had much In his favor. The evidence, as adduced showed that Cole and Rutter engaged in the alter cation over a pile of wood which Cole Is alleged to have placed in a road. Cole says Rutter after remonstrating, struck him with a milk pail. This evidence was corroborated, although Rutter denied It most vehemently. Al beit the Jury, which was composed of Joseph Owens, G.
