ljtbor Day was observed In Oregon
City at the Courthouse and the banks
All mills, shops and other Industries
other than barber shops were operate
ed as usual, In face of the fact that
the day was a legal holiday.
There was an unusual large num
ber of people on the streets, but most
of them were making preparations to
go hop picking.
More than 200 left Monday morning
on the 9:17 o'clock train for Salem,
and other hopgrowlng districts,

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.

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.
Flngerlings Are Liberated In Creeks
Of County.
During the past week the United
States Bureau of Fisheries has deliv
ered to the Oregon City Commercial
Club 63,000 Rainbow trout flngerlings,
which have been liberated In the wat
ers of Abernethy Creek, Milk Creek,
Molalla River, Beaver Creek and

CORA FREDERICK MAKES 8ENSA
TIONAL CHARGE IN DIVORCE
COMPLAINT.
ANOTHER, SUING, TELLS SAD STORY
Jessie May Donaugh Declares Hus
band Refused To Admit Her
To Home After Long Ill
ness At Hospital.
Charging that her husband, who
abandoned her, had let her know In
directly that he had a "nice waitress
with whom he was associating,"
Cora Frederick Tuesday filed suit for
a divorce from Henry Frederick. They
were married March 9, 1893, at Den
ver. Col., and the plaintiff says that
soon thereafter her husband began
drinking to excess. She says she fre
quently Importuned him to give up
the habit, but be never paid any at
tention to her, and that on March 9,
1899, he came home In a drunken con
dition, broke the range, tore the tele
phone from the wall, and lert the
house. It was after that ,she avers,
that be let her know about the wait
ress. Mrs. Frederick asks the cus
tody of their three children, John,
nine years old: Charles, live years
old and Frank, three years old.
Jessie May Donaugh, who filed a
suit for a divorce Tuesday against
John C. Donsugh, tells a pitiful story.
She asserts that they were married
In Portland May 2, 1899, and they
have one child, Carl C, ten years of
age. According to the plaintiff her
husband frequently swore at her. She
says that she was taken 111 May 1,
1911, and was operated on at a hospi
tal. 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. She asks $25 a month for the
maintenance of their child.
Harry F. Griffith " sues Gladys E.
Griffith for a divorce, alleging that
she deserted him. 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.

HAIR THAT FASCINATES.
Who Wants Lustrous Hair Full of
Life and Beauty?
Start now madam, September Is Just
the month to begin to acquire a glor
ious head of hair ot which you will be
Justly proud during the social events
of wintertime.
If you haven't used -PARISIAN
SAGE you aren't on the high road to
hair beauty. PARISIAN SAGE Is the
most delightful preparation that de
stroys the dandruff germs and by so
doing removes In a short time the
cause of dandruff, falling hair. Itching
scalp, faded and lifeless hair.
Dandruff germs are obstructionists;
they prevent the hair from receiving
Its proper nourishment by ravenously
devouring the same nourishment. Use
PARISIAN SAGE for one week and
note the wonderful Improvement
Huntley Bros. Co. guarantees it, 50
cents a bottle.

to eclipse that of last year, which was
conceded to be superior to the one

entered than have ever been entered
In a fair in this state, and the milk
tests are expected to reveal some re
markable producers. M. S. Rock,
formerly State Dairy Inspector, will

The bridge on the Milwaukle road
at the north entrance to Milwaukle
across Johnson Creek la under recon
struction by Clackamas county, and
while the work Is in progress the old
road Is closed to team traffic. Vehi
cles are compelled to take the road
from the northeast side of Milwaukie
through Wtll8burg to Sellwood. The
concrete abutment to' the bridge were
built some time ago, and only the sin
gle span remains to be erected. That
will probably be finished by Septem
ber 15. The old span was weak and
unsafe for heavy vehicles and auto
mobiles. The new bridge will be
strong enough to carry the heaviest
loads. It Is on the East Side state
highway.
BIG STEEL BRIDGES
Judge Beatie announced Thursday
that the steel bridge across Johnson
Creek at Milwaukie would be finished
In about two weeks. The bridge has
a span of ninety feet, and will be one
of the best steel bridges for county
roads in the state. The piers are or
concrete.
Another steel bridge that is neartng
completion is the one across Bear
Creek near Needy. This one will have
a. span of fifty feet. The crew tjjat Is
working on this structure recently
built a trestle 850 feet long and a
fifty-foot span over Rock Creek. This
bridge Is made of steel and concrete.

Indicating that he was Just as con
trite as he could be the Recorder re
mitted the Jail sentence and Mr. Dun

The county schools In East Clacka
mas, Cberryvllle and Liberal started
Tuesday, and the others will be open
ed at intervals between now and the
second week In October. A large num
ber will open on September 18. Su
pervisor Anderson was present at the
opening of the Cherryvllle school;
Supervisor Calavan at the Liberal
school, and Mrs. Emily Shaw, super
visor .at the East Clackamas school.
The attendance at the schools Is re
ported as having been gratifying.
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion Gary. 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.
