Gerald Warner, one of the popular
and well known young'men of this city,
and only son of Mrs. Augusta Warner,
left Tuesday evening at 8:40 to enter
the naval training station at Goat Is
land as second-class fireman.
Mr. Warner has had much experi
ence in the line In which he has en
listed. He was employed by the Will
amette Valley Southern railway in
construction work while this road was
being built between Mt. Angel and
Oregon City, and after the completion
of the railway line was offered a po
sition on the cars operating between
the two cities, and has been in this
company's employment since.
He was a member of Company Q for
five years and accompanied that com
pany to the Mexican border as bugler,
remaining there for three months. He

so member of the Fountain Hose com

ly known as "Bill," and now stationed
at Camp Greene, Charlotte, North Car
olina, and a cousin of Kent Moody, who
is also stationed with the Third Ore
gon at Camp Green. With the enlist
ment ot Gerald Warner, this takes the
last man of the Logus family to war.
The new National party which has
been formed by delegates, self-ap
pointed, who met at Chicago, will be a

HIGH COST LIVING
DEMANDS
INCREASE
IF TEN PER CENT
Backing up their petition to the
school board for Increases In salaries
practically the entire corps of teacher
of the city schools swooped down on
the board meeting Friday night and
Indicated clearly, through their spoke
men, chief of whom was City Superin
tendent Tooze, that the high cost of
living justified them In asking for an
Increase averaging 10 per cent over
the present schedule. Mr. Tooze pre
sented the petitions, signed by 35
teachers of the high school and grades,
and made an argument In fovor ot the
increase.
Director J. E. Hedges and Mr. Tooze
engaged In a verbal tilt that added
spice to the problem. Mr. Hedges told
the teachers that he had already set
the wheels in 'motion, at a previous
meeting, for some salary Increases,
and said he had Informed the superin
tendent that if a petition came in from
the teachers for an Increase he would
vote against it and that be proposed to
keep his word. He Indicated that Mr.
Tooze should have told the teachers
of his position. Heated words passed
and finally Chairman Eby poured oil
on troubled waters and the petitioners
were advised that their request would
be given due consideration at a special
meeting to be held for that purpose.
, The petition of the grade teachers
contemplates a schedule of 149.50 a
month for 12 months for the first year's
service, a total of $540 year, as
against the present schedule of $60 a
month for nine months. The petition
ers ask for $53,625 a month for 12
months for the second year's service,
a total of $585 year, as against the
present schedule of $65 a month for
nine months, and for a salary of $57J7
a month for 12 months for the third
year's service, a total ot $693 a year, as
against the existing pay of $70 a month
tor nine months. The principals in
the grades and high school would re
ceive $1320 a year under the new
achedule, an Increase of $120 per an
num. High school teachers are asking tor
$690 year, or $57.50 a month for 12
months, for teachers without previous
experience; $750 a year, or $62.50 a
month for II months for teachers of
one year's experience; $810 a year, or
$67.50 a month for 12 months for teach
ers ot two year's experience, and $840
a year, or $70 a month for 12 months,
for teachers of three or more years'
experience. The present schedule for
high school teachers is $70 for the
first year and $75 for the second year,
$75 being the maximum paid except in
the case of department heads and spe
cial teachers, some of whom are paid
from $80 to $125 a' month for nine
months.
There appears to be a disposition on
the part of the school board to grant
the teachers an increase in salary, sub
ject to the financial limitations of the
district, and the' problem wJ!t be thor
oughly and carefully considered before
a definite decision is reached. -
CITY COUNCIL Iff
SPECIAL MEETING
The city council at the special meet
ing on Thursday night took up for
consideration the financial budget tor
the new fiscal year of the city. No def
inite action was taken at the meeting
as to the sums to be appropriated in
the different departments of the city
government, the budget list merely
being taken from appropriations ot
1917 with the view ot discussing them
whether they should be lowered or
raised. Among the appropriations
brought up was that of the health de
partment several members of the coun
cil favoring its reduction, it was also
the opinion ot one or two that the
amount set aside for the maintainance
of the police department should be
raised that the officers of the force
were working on a salary too low con
sidering the noticeable increase in liv
ing expenses.
It was ordered that the city engineer
be instructed to put in electric lights
on the citys end ot the suspension
bridge. The ordinance regulating the
new system under which supplies
would be purchased, accounted for
and paid was passed and approved by
the mayor, and a petition from Frank
Busch was received asking that he be
allowed to construct a furniture fac
tory at the corner of Twelfth and
Water streets, the petition stating that
the factory would be constructed of
wood and two stories in height to be
used for the manufacture of furniture.
The petition was referred to the

CIRCUIT COURT
DECIDES CITY
OF OSWEGO CASE
Attorney Jos. E. Hedges, who ap
peared for the defendant city in the
case of Julia Cooper versus the City
of Oswego, today received the decision
of the circuit court, handed down by
Judge Bagley, who presided during the
trial ot the case here about two weeks
ago. The case has attracted consid
erable attention for the reason that the
decision would determine the right of
a municipal corporation to spend mon
ey on a county road which, within the
corporate limits, coincided with a
street
The City of Oswego acting under its
powers conferred by the charter de
sired to spend money for improvements
on Front street, which coincided with
the county road passing through the
city, and some contention having been
raised as to the right of the city to do
this the case was brought more in the
nature ot a test case to ascertain to
a certainty the right of the town to do
this.
The action was brought by Julia
Cooper through her attorney W. M.
Stone, ot Portland, against the eity
and its officers, represented by Jos.
E. Hedges of this city to restrain them
from spending the sum of $3800 in the
improveunnt of Front street, which is
identical with the county road in the
limits of Oswego. The defense contend
ed that the city had the right to spend
the money under the provisions of the
city charter which were broad enough
to allow the city to enter into any con
tract they might wish to for the pur
pose of improving the city in any way,
inasmuch as the charter was created
by the people.
The court held in its decision that
under the law the county court has
Jurisdiction of all county roada and
unless authority was granted by the
legislature to the people giving them
the right to expend money on county
roads the plaintiff must prevail. The
court further held that under the stat
ute of 1917 the county court is given
exclusive right in the Improvement of
county roads and this law in effect pro
hibits the city from improving any
county road. The city ot Oswego had
no Jurisdiction over the road in con
troversy authorizing them to spend the
sum of money ori Improvement without
the express consent of the legal voters
in the city, and this was not given. A
permanent Injunction was therefore
Issued restraining the city of Oswego
and its officers from entering into a
contract to improve Front street or the
county road.
