attitude almoMt won him a heavier sen
tence than Unit Impoaed. He pleaded
guilty to the chnrga of driving hla au
tomobile on the Hldewalk but denied
that he drove It on more than once, or
in more than one place.
"Then you couldn't have known
where you were going," aald Loder,
"for I have been told that you were on
the sidewalk three tlmea."
"Well go heud and give me the moat
you can. I bear that la what you are
going to do anyhow," aald Welaman
del. It required only the threat of
Loder to comply with the accuaed

The maximum which Loder could
have aaaeaaed the man waa a fine of

Welamandel's head and will be Im

YOUNG PEOPLE
PLAN MEETING
FOR AUGUST 31
The visit of Mlsa Grace Smith, of
Chicago, who spent last week with
Mr. an,d Mrs. Chas. Terrlll, of this city,
recalls an incident of the early days
in Colorado and Oregon City.
Miss Smith was one of five children
whose mother died about 23 years ago
in Golden, Colorado. The infant bro
ther of Grace Smith was taken care
of by Mr. and Mrs. Terrlll, and the four
children were sent to the home of
Mr. Smith's parents at Colorado
Springs, and then to Chicago where
they have since lived.
Mr. and Mrs. Terrlll had Intended
only to take care of tho Infant until the
father returned from California, but
the father failed to return and the'
child was adopted and brought to this
city to live.
For 13 years Mr. and Mrs. Terrlll
kept up a search for the child s fath
er, meeting with continual failure until
through the help of former Chief of
Police Shaw he was located In Santa
Rosa, Cal.
A reunion of "the family followed
and the visit of Miss Smith last week
served to recall to many local people
the long search of 13 years which cov
ered the entire Pacific coast.
Among the women of this city who
are looking out for the future by fill
ing their "war cupboards," Mrs. J. C.
Napier, of 512 Main street, deserves
mention. Mrs. Napier has over 600
fruit Jars already filled with fruit, In
cluding berries, rhubarb, besides many
filled with salmon of the Royal Chin
ook variety caught at this place, be
sides peas and string beans. Mrs. Na
pier started In with the salmon and the
rhubarb, and will continue with her
canning when the pears, peaches and
other fruits come on. Besides this she
has a large supply of jellies.
Mrs. Napier In preparing her canned
fruit has used several different meth
ods. In one of which she has placed
the fruit in the Jar, wijh hot water,
without the sugar, and the juice of
the fruit mingles with the hot water,
making a most beautiful color to the
canned fruit. This method requires
a steamer to be used, and she has pur
chased one for this special purpose.
The steam cooks the fruit thoroughly,
but does not break any of the same.
Another way she makes the syrup and
adds the fruit, but this is not as sat
isfactory as the former method.
Mrs. Napier in her canning keeps a
record of the amount obtained In the
canned fruit from the fresh fruit From
140 pounds of Blng cherries, a variety
that is most delicious for pies, and
from Royal Anne cherries she obtained
96 quart jars. Several of these have
been placed In the store of the Brady
Mercantaile company to show what
the steam process can accomplish. The
cherries are in perfect condition, and
even retain the rich color. This works
In the same manner with the rhubarb
that Is also exhibited.
Mr. and Mrs. Napier came to this
city from Arkansas about one year
ago, and this is the first time that Mrs.
Napier has devoted so :r.uch of her
time to preparing canned fruit She
stated that the reason she has done
so this year. Is that owing to the war
conditions she fears that there
will be still shorter rations during the
winter months, and that she desires
to have her family well supplied.
Many are planning to dry fruit and
vegetables and have applied tor the
pamphlets at the publicity department
of the Oregon City Commercial club
that have been sent here by the Ore
gon Agricultural college. These pam
phlets have been distributed through
out the county by G. F. Johnson, of
the publicity department, hundreds of
theae being taken to the Chautauqua
grounds, where there was a demand
for them.
Many of the housewives of this city
are scouring the woods for wild black
berries and these, too, are being put
away for the winter's use.
8 John's Catholic church was filled
to capacity on Saturday morning at 10
o'clock when the funeral services over
the remains of the late Mrs, W. E.
Long, of Gladstone, were conducted by
