JURY RESTS AFTER PROBING HILL CASE After considering the Hill murder case for nearly two weeks, and after hearing the testimony of more than forty witnesses, the Clackamas county grand Jury rested from Its labors and while its attitude relative to returning an indictment against Nathan B.

District Attorney Tongue will not be here until next Saturday at the earliest and the grand Jury will not reconvene during his absence from the city. Judge Campbell is holding court In Hillsboro. There Is every reason to believe that if the evidence against Harvey as presented to the grand Jury, had appeared as conclu sive to that body as It does to the Clackamas officers, that an Indict ment would have been returned forth with. AT In emulation of its larger sister city, Oregon City, the city fathers of Esta cada have bad a falling out with the Mayor, J. W. Reed. It is not exactly known Just what is the causes belli. In this case, however, the citizens ap pear to think the "Mayor Is in the right The council has become so bellicose as to intimate that it might start recall petitions against the Mayor. It appears that the council forgot to levy the five mill tax allow ed by law so that the citizens will have to forego the time honored pleas ure of paying $1,500 into tbe city treasury for the purpose of construct ing sewers, streets, etc. Over this, there is a weeping, and wailing and gnashing of teeth for the citizens do love to pay taxes. The members of the anti-Reed coun cil who bad a recall attempted against them three years ago, are going about the town with a smile upon their coun tenaces these days. And the town j prospers. Tnree houses are Deing built in the new addition north of the old brick plant Four hundred dollars was raised to assist in building a wag on-road across Eagle Creek to the German Burn, or George country, in a few minutes.

Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers, with maps, on the pre liminary examination and survey of the Willamette River between Port- Jand and Oregon City. The report has been forwarded by H. L. Stlm son. Secretary of War, to the lower branch of Congress and Is now before the Rivers and Harbors Committee. The plan provides for a channel twelve feet deep at low water to Os wego eight miles above Portland, and a minimum depth of three and one half feet from that point to Oregon City. The Oregon City Commercial Club, however, virtually has been as sured of a six foot depth to Port land, and a promise of a twelve foot depth eventually.

A Guarantee is a promise to make good. A Promise is worth exactly as much as the promiser. A Promiser who hasn't already made good can't promise to make good. This is a plain proposition. Recall it to mind the next time you read the catch-phrase: "Our car is guaranteed for one year," or, "Our car is guaranteed for a lifetime." Remember the lifetime of that car stops Just at the point where the guarantee begins. There is one guarantee that always holds good. It is THE GUARANTEE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT That Is the guarantee Henry Ford puts on his cars. That is why more than a hundred thousand Ford cars are in use today. That is why your car will be a Ford, if you believe in efficiency, economy, endurance and service. Ford Distributors and Branches in al! the principal cities and towns in this country are at your very elbow to give you the service we maintain.
