A large crowd of people gathered at
the Southern Pacific depot thla after
noon to say rarewell to the Third Or
egon regiment Many boxes contain
ing good things were presented to the
soldiers, but it was not known that
there would have been so many sol
diers on the first train, and as It was
the desire of the patriotic people of the
city to remember each one. It waa nec
essary for many to get busy after the
departure of the first section and pre
pare luncheona for the second section.
Fruit, lunches, tobacco and cigar
ettes and other articles that boya de
sired were presented. Many of the
iboxea contained spring chicken. Wa
termelons and boxes of peaches were
presented to the soldiers.
The first section arrived here about
12:30 o"clock and remained for about
20 minutes. The regimental band ac
companied this section, and played at
the depot previous to the boys contin
uing their Journey south.
All men on board the train were In
the best of spirits, and noticeable
among these were young men about 20
or 21 year of age, who were In their
glory with the hapes of seeing active
service. Chaplain Gilbert saluted the
people aa the train moved out and

HIS ESCAPE

Thomas Moore, juvenile automobile
thief, led Deputy Sheriffs Frost and
Joyner a merry chase Wednesday.
They spotted the boy late In the after
noon and opened up the throttle, but
Moore turned the stolen car into the
Holmes lace and jumping from the
automobile, he disappeared in 'the
brash. Sheriff Wilson hurried to the
scene and took charge of operations,
and darkness came on and the officer

Moore made his escape under cover of
night The automobile had been driv
en more than 600 miles since it was
taken early last Sunday morning and
was not badly injured, though the run
ning board and fenders showed signs
of rough driving.
Slippery Jim and the village con-,

The procedure of road tax addition

ing Is confusing as outlined in the
Oregon laws. Last year the levies
in two or three districts were declared
invalid in the circuit court on account
of the vague instruction given. Coun

there will be no trouble this year if
the printed instructions are carried out

CLACKAMAS SCHOOLS
OREGON STATE FAIR
Taxpayers are waking up to the fact
that October 6 is the last day to pay
the second hiilf of the 1916 tax without
having an Interest charge added. After
October 6. unpaid taxes will bear 1 per
cent a month interest and on Novem-
ber 5 a flat penalty of 5 per cent will
be added.
Chief Deputy Taylor of the tax de
partment, Btates that taxes are being
paid at about the same ratio as last
year, and that the delinquent roll will
probably not differ materially, as to
proportion from the previous year.
MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUED
License to wed was Issued Wednes
day to Lillie Conger, aged 86, and J. E.
Mathews, aged 37. They will be mar
ried Sunday at Milwaukle.
For the third time Clackamas coun
ty has captured sweepstakes for the
most artistically decorated exhibit
booth in the Juvenile department at
the state fair. County School Super
intendent Calavan and his corps of
workers were in Saletri Sunday night
ready to set up their exhibit which did
not reach the grounds until 10 p. m.
By working nearly all night, they had
It in place by the opening of the pa
vilion at 10 a. m. Monday and received
the customary $25 award for being
ready on time.
Four Clackamas school students are
at the state fair this week, as the
guests of the institution, having scored
highest In project work. Viola Jones
of Oregon City and Lois Pagankopf, of
Maple Lane, were first in sewing;
Clyde Denny, of Estacada, had the
best pig, and Harold Kammerer, of
Needy, had high score for the corn pro
ject.
Petitions filed with County Clerk
Harrington today ask for wholesale tax
reductions in the assessments of the
big timber holdings of the county. The
petitions are addressed to the county
board of equalization which convenes
in the near future.
Heading the list is the Weyerhauser
company, which asks that its assess
ments on timber holdings in certain
sections of Clackamas county be cut
from a present valuation of $650,000
to $250,000. The E. S. Collins estate
and the estate of F. D. Collins, de
ceased, seek a reduction in the assess
ment on a present valuation of $276,-
200 and ask that the property be as
sessed at $.211,000. The W. R. Burt
holdings are asked to be cut from $72,-
300 to $36,200, and the George Baldwin
estate would pay on $8000 valuation
Instead of the present estimate of $15,
000. George S. Lacy asks a reduction
from $79,610 to $51,750 in valuation on
which to levy taxes.
Peculiarly the Weyerhauser appeal
was filed here on the same day the
supreme court at Salem denied attor
neys for the corporation a rehearing
on the case which was carried up and
won by the county a few weeks ago.
The supreme court sustained the orig
inal assessments made by the county.
John T. Hindle, a husky young farm
er of Clackamas county, stalked into
Sheriff Wilson's office Thursday after
noon to report for mobilization of
Clackamas county's quota. He, with
20 others, leaves for American Lake
early Friday morning.
"Are you ready to go?" asked the
sheriff.
"Ready why, I'm tickled to death
for the chance," he replied. "When I
jump into the game this afternoon,"
said Hindle, "it means that the last of
halt a dozen brothers and sisters Is
now working in the cause of the al
lies."
Hindle came to this country a few
years ago and has been living with
his uncle, George Armstrong, a well
known Clackamas county farmer, in
the Redlands country, east of Oregon
City. At the age of 16, Hindle enlist
ed in England and served three years
in the British armies. At the present
time, his brother George is an expert
machine-gunner with the British
troops; Fred, another brother, is a
member of the Royal Flying Squadron,
while the youngest lad of the family is
engaged in clerical work with tha Can
adian troops. Two slaters, Alice and
Nellie, one married, are expert govern
ment telegraphers in constant service.
The father is R. S. Hindle, a Bpecial
military constable In London at 127
Windsor road.
Hindle is a naturalized citizen. He
was clearly the proudest of all the 21
