FEDERAL LOANS TO FARMERS, IS PLAN "The United Slates lias borrowed money at 2 and 3 per cent for canal construction. It can afford to borrow money nnd lend it to producer from the soil at the gross cost," said R. A.

"If nn Amerlcnn fnrmer has 40 acre of good land w Ith 20 cleared and 20 un cleared, and Is hampered by lack of credit nnd high Interest rates, the gov ernment should furnish him long-time, low-rate money for the Improvements.

"It woul 1 give a new meaning to de velopment In the west and should be furnished for buying land and for Innd Improvement nnd can be so lent safely.

Four Americana, bluejackets and marines, were killed by the fire of the Mexican soldiers and 20 fell wounded. The Mexican loaa la not known, but It la believed to have been cloae to 200 dead and many wounded. The waterfront, the customs house and all Important plera, Includlnx those under terminal works from which ex tend the railroads tn the capital, have been occupied. All the territory around tho American conaulate Is stronxly patrolled and detachments hold other sections of the city. The Mexican command's, . General Cuatave Maas, offered a stubborn re sistance and for many hour there was rir.hllnx in the streets. Toward night fall It was reported that the main body of the federal garrison was In retreat westward. rtear Admiral Fletcher, In command of the I'nlted States warshipa, pre faced hla occupation nf the Krt by a demand, throuxh the American consul, W. W. Canada, for Ita aurrender. Gen eral Maaa promptly declined to accede to this demand and shortly afterward ten whnlchoat were Bent off from the aide of the transport Prairie loaded with marlnea.

JOE 64 DOES OF A Tha story of a woman, who, at the axe uf 64 years, carried 250 sacks of potatoes out of the cellar where they were stored, and loaded them on to a wnxon for transportation to market. Is told by Frank Ilusch of Mrs. Peter Ilohlandcr, of Heaver Creek. Mrs. Hollander was never 111 In her life until last winter, when she con tracted a cold that ultimately de veloped into nn attack of la grippe. She firmly declined to see a physician and would not take medicine for her ailment, until her husband came to Oregon City and obtained a prescrip tion, along wllh a small bottle of wine as a tonic. Mrs. Itohlnnder finally yielded to the appeals from members of her family and consented to use the medicine, along with the wine, and In a few days she was as well as ever. While she was alone on the farm with her husband. It became necessary to ship 2.r0 sack of potatoes to town, and as Mr. Ilohlandcr was not feeling well and was unable to load the pota toes, his wife proceeded to do the work .expeditiously. Iter she admit ted that she had thrown the medicine away, but had used the wine, and had quietly rejoiced In tho satisfaction of regaining her health without using the prescription.

HIGHWAYS REACHING ALL PARTS OF COUNTY WOULD BE BENEFITED $560,000 IS THE ESTIMATED COST Hard Surface Roada Vary In Width From 9 to 16 Feet According to Court's Plan Pave ment Unnamed. ROADS NAMED ' Gray'a Crossing road from the Multnomah county line to Ore- gon City via Clackamas, seven miles, $75,000; Oregon City to Can by, nine miles, $75,000; Canhy 4 to Marion county, four miles, 32,- 000; Marksburg Canity and Needy road, eight miles. 104,000; Ore- I gon City to Molalla. 15 miles. 90.- 000; Heaver Creek to Oregon City, six miles, $.10,000; Oregon ?

The county court haa not decided what variety of hard surface pave ment will be specified. The petition provided that the pavement be "per manent" and the court will name that which they believe comes nearest to that requirement. The pavement will vary In width from nine to 16 feet, depending upon the amount of the travel over the road. A shoulder of macadam will probably be placed on both sides of the hard surface, according to the plan of the court. The roads enter almost every part of the county and pierce the parts most thickly populated. The court In naming the roads has aimed to se lect those which would benefit the farmer in bringing htm closer to the towns. The bonds will hear 5 per cent Inter est and have a life nf "0 years. It Is provided in til state law that the money derived from their sale can not be used for other purposes than the construction of the roads named bv the county court before the elec tion. The estimated cost of the roads Is $500,000 or about SIO.000 less than the total amount uf the Issue. With this sum it Is thought that any under estimation on the part of the court can lie corrected. DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT to fill up ran JOHN J. COOKE ANNOUNCES HE WILL BE CANDIDATE AT PRIMARIES John J. Cooke announced Tuesday that he would run for county Judge on the Democratic ticket In the state ment which was Issued Tuesday, the announcement is minlc. as foilowa: "John J. Cooke, of Orexon City, an nounces that owing to the numerous requests of the DeiiuK-rats of Clacka mas county, has consented to accept the nomination for county judge, should It be the wish of the voters of the party at the primaries to be held on May 15." Aa the Democratic ticket Is not com plete the county central committee is making an attempt to secure candi dal for all the county offices. Thu time for riling for the primaries has passed and o that the name of these candidate will be written In at that election. DECREES GRANTED Two divorce decree have been granted by Judge Campbell aa follows: Ada E. Benson from Haifton J. Ben son and Nellie C Haynea from Arthur P. Ualnea. ROADS ARE NAMED BY COUNTY COURT COMPANY G IS READY FOR DUTY EQUIPMENT IS COLLECTED AND MEMBER8 WAIT WORD FROM HEADQUARTERS ' MANY WILL JOIN If ORDER COMES Companies Throughout 8tate Enlisting up to Full Strength Company Q Would Leave With Full Rank "We are ready to leave on a mo ment's notice. Our equipment Is col lex-ted and prepared and we are ready to go at any time," said Captain J.. E. Hlanchard Tuesday evening, when asked if Company G, the local militia organization, was ready to be mus tered in actual service. All evening Tuesday the members of the company were In the armory dis cussing the Mexican crisis. In little groups tn the big main room of the building or In the office of the cap tain, they were gathered, each eager to enter the service. Captain Hl&nrhard la attempting to fill thn company to Ita full war atrength. Although but one man en rolled Tuesday, many have promised to join the organization If the word comes to move. It Is thought that if orders are received by Company O to go to Clackamas to muster Into the regular army, that even though the notice is as short as 24 hours, the company would leave this city with its full quota. Other companies throughout the state are enlisting mere men. At Portland officers In the armory are kept busy with applicants and It is probable that within a short time all the companies there will be full. Colonel Martin of the National Guard in Portland, said he looks for instruc tions any time. A quiet order has been Issued to the various companies of the Infantry to recruit to full war strength which is 108 men to the eoni pany. At the present the Third Infan try number 92J men and officers, but when recruited to full strength, It will total approximately 1500 men and of ficers. Both Colonel Martin and General Flnxer were high in their praise of the new volunteer law passed by con gress Monday night. They said the measure takes the army out of politics and makes It possible to standardize the various state military organiza tions. Under the new law, they said. the militia can go Into active service j with the same officers and organlza-l tiona as exist at the time an order cornea. Heretofore, militia officers had no assurance that they would be retained as officers when their regi ments were called Into active service. General Finzer stated that the visit to the capltol Tuesday morning was only for the purpose of holding a gen eral conference of the situation with the governor and he denied that any secret orders to prepare for mobiliza tion bad been received. Although It Is confidently expected that the guard will be called out the ordinary routine of the Nations' Guard office has not been interrupted. L CHILDREN TO HELP ON ROAD WORK For the school children of the state, a suggestion has been made by the "All Oregon Good Roads Day" work er that will probably be generally carried out. In a letter Just sent out by R, S. S. Hewitt, chairman of the ex ecutive committee to the county courts of the state, he urges them to get all the school children Interested In the enterprise and If they are not able to Join any organized band of roadwork ers on Saturday, April 25, urge them to go to the nearest road and remove 10 rocks each from the roadway. On an estimate of 190.000 children of school age, that will mean the elimination of 1,900.000 rocks, all of which the com mittee believes is a move in the right direction. "They needn't stop mere," says Hewitt. "Let the youngsters who are too small to handle a pick and shovel get out and throw as many atone out of the roadway as they can. Ir each one will remove 100 rocks on that day that will mean 19.000.000 obstacles out of the way. Doing this work will make the little people feel that they are do ing their part in the common cause and everybody knows that big stones or "nlggerheads' lying in the roadway are a nuisance to all forms of traffic." In his letter Chairman Hewitt lays emphasis on the fact that the work to be done Is to be systematically or ganized, practically supervised and of a permanent character. The suggestion Is also made that the good women of each district through out the state serve "road" lunches at noon and a hot dinner at the grange, school or meeting place tn the even ing to actual workers only. "No work, no eats," being the slogan. DANCE TO OPEN 1 NEW HALL AT SHU3EL The new hall at Shubel Is practical ly completed and will open with a dance April 25. The building Is 26 by 60 feet and the floor Is well laid and makes what ia considered a good dance floor. The hall la located at cross roads near Duffy' place. It wa built by a stock company composed of local resident. Although the building will be opened with a dance, it ia suitable for many purpose. OREGON CITY BOY KENT WILSON FINISHES FIRST IN THREE EVENTS IN COLUM BIA INDOOR MEET Kent Wilson, the son the Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Wilson, of this city, took first place In the 50-yard dash, finished first In the 220-yard dash but wa die- qualified, and ran the laat lap of the relay, winning It, at the Columbia In door track meet at Portland Saturday. He represented Washington High scnoot or that city. Kent Wilson graduated from the Oregon City grammar schools several years ago and attended the Oregon City high school until the fall term of 1913 when he entered Washlnfton High school as a senior. He baa al ways been interested in athletic and during the years he spent in Oregon City he represented the local school In number of events. At first broad jumping as well as the dashe occu pied his attention but this year be dropped the field event altogether. Washington High school won the meet In the "prep" division with 22 points and Columbia came In second with 19. Oregon Agricultural college secured first place In the other di vision. Twenty high schools and pre- paritory schools were represented from town In Oregon and southern Washington by teams. Wilson's time for the 50-yard event was 5 and 3-5 seconds. His disqual ification In the 220-yard dash was caused by a purely technical offence, running out of his lane. GRAND JURY DRAWN The grand Jury which was drawn Monday follows: R. L. Greaves, fore man, Henry Peckover, H. J. Walker, William Criteser, W. A. Long, G. R. Woodle and S. C. Ross. The Jury will probably remain In ses 3ion the rest of the week. DEBATE AT EUGENE LOCAL TEAM TAKES ONE STEP CLOSER TO CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENTIRE STATE THREE SCHOOLS LEFT IN RUNNING Vitcory I One of Long List Estacada Newberg, Salem, Woodburn and Albany All Defeated by O. C. H. S. The undefeated debating team of Oregon City High school took another step toward the state championship Friday evening at Albany when they defeated the team of the Klamath Falls school. Hefore this debate Ore gon Ctty was the champion of the Wil lamette valley and one of the four best teams in the state, Astoria, Klamath Falls, Pendleton and Oregon City. Now Oregon City is the champion of the Willamette valley and southern Ore gon and one of the three best teams in Oregon. Two more debates will be required to settle the state honors. Astoria and Pendleton will meet and Oregon City will debate the winner to decide the champion of the state. The team is composed of William Miller and Elbert Charman. Mrs. H. B. Cartledge, head of the English de partment of the Oregon City High school, is the coach. Mrs. Cartledge accompanied the team on its trip to Eueene Friday. The victory Friday is one of a long list. Woodburn, Salem. Albany, New berg, Estacada and now Klamath Falls have each been defeated. The Klamath Falls school has a reputation of pro ducing good debaters. Since the state debating schedule has become an an nual affair, the southern Oregon school has turned out teams which have at least captured the honors of their di vision. One of the members of the team which was defeated Friday has been on the Klamath Falls team for three years and is considered an able and experienved talker. WILSON CASE TO BE TRIED THIS SESSION Included in the cases which will come up at the session of the circuit court which opened Monday morning is the Wilson case against the city of Oregon City.

OREGON CITY WINS EYES OF STATE THIS COUNTY OTHER COMMUNITIES ASK "WILL CLACKAMAS COUNTY VOTE THE BOND ISSUE" PRAISE HEARD FOR COURT'S DECISION Every Section of County Benefited b) Choice of Improved Highway Best County In Beet State I Now Aim The eyes of the state are upon Clack amas county. The people of Oregon, especially the big progressive coun ties like Multnomah, Jackson, Clatsop and Wasco, are asking themselves: "Will Clackamas county vote the bond Issue?" On every hand are heard words of hlxhest praise over the wise selection of roads made by Judge Anderson and Commissioners Smith and Mattoon. The bond issue haa been apportioned so that practically every section of the county and every center of population will be connected. With fine Judg ment the court has chosen to Improve roads where most needed by the gen eral public, and approval of the choice Is unanimous. There Is not a town or city In the county that will not be benefitted by the building of permanent highways In It vicinity. Better still, there 1 not a producing acre of land in the county that will not be brought nearer to the market by the construction of the roads selected. There 1 not a home but will feel the added comfort from better and cheaper means of travel. No one can argue against good roads. No one can deny that Clackamas coun ty, almost unlimited in Its agricultural possibilities and vast resources, is In dire need of permanent highways. Nor can any one deny that the banding system of permanent road construc tion is not in the long run, an easy solution for the betterment of an im perfect system a system which has cost Clackamas a million and a quarter In the last seven years. Last year this county spent over $300,000.00 on dirt plank, gravel and crushed rock roads, scattered about In the various road districts. These roads become mud in the winter time and will never be anything else. The interest on the bonds will amount to $30,000 the first year. This amount and a snug sinking fund will properly come out of the $200,000 or $:i00.000 that we have of late been an nually, expending on our roads, without attempt at permanent road construc tion. The main roads, permanently improved, will be taken off the hands of the taxpayers and there will be more money for the building of the branches. Thus the bugaboo "ex pense" will, under the long life and low rate of the bonds 30 years at 5 per cent be minimized right at the start, and the people of the county can enjoy the roads as fast as skilled la bor can construct them, on scientific principles. Clackamas should be lit fed out of the long era of mud roads and should be given a front rank In the growing list of Oregon's progressive counties. It is high time fcr the citizens to take their stand on the side of progress and modern ideas. Vote the bond Issue and thereby make old Clackamas the best county in the best state on earth. E -CRY OF LW.W. PORTLAND POLICE ARREST MAN WHO TACKS POSTER ON BUILDING PORTLAND, Ore., April 21. Armed resistance against the authorities In case of war; insurrection and a gen eral strike rather than military service is the programme advocated by the In dustrial Workers of the World In Port land. Agistors of the I. W. W. are circulating red-ink dodgers and com posing and singing songs advocating . their policy. As yet the agitators have not mounted the soap boxes, but one man has been arrested for distributing literature. If the phrase "Insurrection Before War" is adjudged to be a treasonable utterance by Municipal Judge Steven son, Harry Jenson, an ex-convict, will face a charge of violating the statute recently enacted by the legislature making it a felony to advocate crime.
