Somewhere in Portland," there's a
sad bunch of bootleggers. Somewhere
In Oregon City Sheriff Wilson Is cuss
ing very efficient espionage system of
the Multnomah btind-piggers, which re
sulted in the escape ot a man and a
trunk from Clackamas station Wednes
day afternoon.
Ever since Monday morning Sheriff
Wilson and Officer Meads have been
alternating shifts at the Southern Pa
cific depot at Clackamas awaiting the
coming of the claimant for Trunk No
Between shifts Wednesday noon, the
mysterious stranger presented his
check, loaded the trunk into an auto
truck and returned Portlandward
which is not the reason the bootleg
gers are sad.
Officer Meads found the trunk Mon
day at Clackamas station, and the
flumes from within were unquestion
ably California booze. Sheriff Wilson,
was called at once and with Deputy
District Attorney Burke, Judge Slevers
Judge Keller ot Portland, and the local
Southern Pacific agent, broke the
trunk open. Somewhere enroute from
California, however, some evil-disposed
persons had already done the
same thing and had taken some thirty
bottles of whiskey therefrom. At least
there were about thirty empty cartons
in the trunk. To appease the bootleg
gers' wrath, the meddlers had left six
bottles of "Joel B" whiskey. That is
why the bootleggers "somewhere in
Portland" are a sad lot
The officials decided to await de
velopments and arrest the man who
should call for the booze. Monday
and Tuesday either Sheriff Wilson or
Officer Meads were at the station all
day and until late in the evening. They
had given np hope that anyone would
call for the trunk and were going to
bring the booze, trunk and empty car
toons to Oregon City sometime Wed
nesday afternoon.
The man called for the trunk before
one o'clock and evidently had been
tipped off from someone around the
Clackamas country that the officers
were not at the depot The trunk -was
delivered to him and about fifteen
minutes later the sheriff was notified
the trunk was gone. All speed records
were broken but the three-mile handi
cap and the 20-mlnute start were too
much and the local officers came out
a poor second in the race. The man
was trailed as far as Kendall station.
Portland officers were notified to be
on the look-out for the truck and its
illicit cargo. Sheriff Wilson had noti
fied the railway officials to hold the
trunk and not to deliver it to anyone,
as the contents were known absolutely
to the railway people, as well as to the
local officials.

- Wednesday was "middy day" at the
Oregon City high school building. One
hundred boy students borrowed either
sisters' middy blouse or some other
boys' sisters and these with bright
colored ties made some of these boys
look somewhat bewitching, while the
girls came in for their share of com
pliments from the boys. The girls bor
rowed their brothers' shirts or their
friend's" shirt and neckties which
they added to their school costume.
This was the first time in history of
the school that "middy day" was ob
served, and will long be remembered
by those participating in the exercises
that were held in the assembly room
in the forenoon.
Every student in the high school
building participated in the exercises.
Selections were rendered by the high
school orchestra; John Mason gave
some of his humorous readings, and a
number ot the high school songs were
sung, the leader of whom waa Miss
Lewis.
The subject of establishing a gym
nasium was discussed, and a gymnas
ium class will be organized, this to be
done in the near future.
