Oregon City held Its second spring
opening on Wednesday evening, and
It was a marked success. The mer
chants artistically decorated the win

provided the residents In the Molalla
and Beaver Creek sections ot the
county with passes to this city, there
being over 300 people coming over
the Willamette Valley Southern.
These people thoroughly enjoyed the
evening. Some visited the stores,
where the goods on display were In-
spected. and also enjoyed the con-j
certs provided by some ot the mer-j
chants, while others attended the
"movies." I
The Moose Band, Ralpn Smith as
director, played along Main street, in-,
eluding some of (he patriotic airs. I
Bannon's store drew an immense
crowd, when a concert was given by j
the Riu Rass Jau orchestra, and all
of the latest "Jaiiy" music was heard.
The crowds grew larger as the living
models appeared in some of the latest
spring and summer gowns. Their
graceful steps and the beautiful and
becoming gowns made a "hit" with
the visitors. George Brodie and Wln
nifred Ball delighted the audience
with fancy dances. The large display
windows came in for their share of
attention. Each window was com
plete with a sprinkle of spring flowers
that added to the attractive display.
The richness of the furniture show
In the south window of Busch 's store
was a fair sample as to what is found
in this modern furniture establish
ment This was separated by an
archway which was entwined with
Tines, and on the opposite side was a
display of baby boggles. The south
window contained a fine display ot
dishes.

EXPECTED SOON FROM
U. S. SUPREME COURT
SALEM. Or.. March 19. (Special)
Julius Wilbur, formerly keeper ot a
notorious tavern at Mllwaukie, is per-
fectinr an anneal to the Supreme
Court ot the United States from a
conviction for the Illegal sale of li
quor in 1916 and a sentence of six
months i njail and a $300 fine.
The appeal is ot considerable. Im
portance as It will take to the highest
tribunal in the land questions which
are Involved in the prohibition law.
It is contended by Wilbur's attor
ney's that the provision of the prohi
bition law which provides that the
name of the liquor seller and the name
of the person to whom the liquor is
sold need not be mentioned in the
indictment is repugnant to the con
stitution of the United States in that
it deprives the plaintiff ot his prop
erty and liberty without due process or
law. Other points are involved but
this Is the main contention and one
that Is considered of prime Import
ance in the enforcement, of the prohi
bition law. Attorney General Brown
considers this appeal as having possi
bilities in establishing it as a leading
case.
Much difficulty was experienced uu
der old laws in obtaining convictions
where It was necessary to set out the
name of the seller and purchaser of
liauor In Indictments and if the ap
peal is sustained dry leaders contend
it will be a sad blow to the eniorce
ment of the bone dry statute.

rows and struggle of this great con
flict are going to create new condi
tions In every state lu the Union,
which will require attention and now
legislation.
The state must stand by the widows
and the orphans of this great war,
relief must bo granted in some form,
which will ameliorate the suffering
and the needs ot the mothers, fathers,
wives aud children, who by reason
thereof may need aid. support and
comfort in a material way. If occa
sion offer or If conditions require
such assistance I hereby pledge my.
self If nominated and elected to sup
port all reasonable legislation In aid
and support thereof.
I will favor, as I always have en
deavored to favor, legislation that will
be for the general good ot the general
public.
We have witnessed great disturb
ances ami disagreements between mill
owners, corporations and working
men and women In all parts of the
world during the last few years. Trnf-!
flo has been Interfered with In many
Instances. Disagreements have taki.n
place between the working men and
women and the owners of many mills
and factories throughout the country.
The right or wrong, merit or demerit
of the disputes I am not undertaking
to solve, but I do know and believe
that there ought to be some common
ground upon which a mill owner and
the men and women who work for
him ought to be able to meet and
stand, based upon Justice and right
between them. If thoy will not meet
and fairly settle and compromise their
differences, then there ought to be
some power somewhere In tha Inter
est of the balance of society that
would enforce a settlement of these
differences based upon absolute Jus
tice between the men and women who
work and the mill, factory or eorpo
ration. Any fair minded man or agent
or controller, of any corporation. It
seems to me, ought to admit and con
cede this much: The man or woman
who works and labors with their hands
Is entitled to absolutely a square deal
and to exact Justice In time of peace
as well us In time ot war.

suffering and poverty and misery to
so many people, Home will disagree
with mo, as they used to disagree
about the railroad commission and
shout the commission ot commerce st
Washington, but It Is the only way
that Is practicable In settling the dis
putes between the seHlshness and
greed of unfair capitalists and sotno
times unfair men. A strike really does
not settle anything. Jt causes suffer
ing, want, inlsery and poverty. In
this way the working men and women
can get a square deal and the mill
owner can get a square deal.
Of course If nominated and elected,
I will stund by such road legislation
ss the furmer's grange snd the people
of Clackamas county generally Indorse
and approve of. ,
I fetd that there Is too much deputy
hire about the court house ot this
county, some ot which could be dis
pensed with. In that view I folt that
the office of County Recorder ought
to be abolished. In Oregon we have
thirty-six counties, twenty-eight of
these counties have already abolished
the office of County Recorder of Con
veyances. In Multnomah County with
the large city of Portland, they get
along without a County Recorder.
There Is no reason why wo shouldn't
get along without this office In this
county. While a member of the House
last session, Introduced a bill to
abolish this office and passed it
through the House but It was defeated
lu the Senate In the Interest of the
Oregon City Court house ring. If I
am nominated for the Senate snd
elected, I will abolish that office af
ter the present Incumbent has the
usual terms that his predecessor has
hud. I fool that the court house at
Oregon City ought to be cleaned out
to some extent. That we have too
many deputies ant assistant upon
the payroll for the taxpayers to pay.

I feel thui If there ever was s time I
when the people demand economy snd
retrenchment In their county and state
affairs and expenses. It Is st the pres
ent time, when thpy are overburden
ed with taxation to maintain their
roads, schools and to assist the nation
al government In carrying on this war
To set the matter at rest, I will say:
that In cuse the question ot county
division of Clackamas county should
come up during my term of office, In
cuse I should be elected, that I will
be governed entirely by how the peo
ple decide the matter upon a popular
vote and In no other way. In other
words, 110 action will be taken by me
or aided by mo In favor of such divi
sion or any division of Clackamas
County unless I am directed to do so
by a popular vote of the people of
Clnnknmns County,
Mr. Dln.lck desires to go buck to
tho State Senate for his third term.
I deslro to go also. You know him
and his ulIIItlr:t nod you know me
and my abilities, It I have any.
I do not think that It Is seemly or
proper at this time when the country
Is engaged In tho struggle of war
and when so many peoplo's hearts
are sad with tho absenco of their
son and th-'lr sufferings In this great
stniKgle, thnt I should go all over

Moving up the guns in Franca is
an interesting but difficult maneuver
owing to the soft character of the
ground and the great weight of the
guns. Despite the lt.bor involved
the men are always cheerful because
the guns are moving toward the
enemy. When the big British gune
are sh oiling the German trenches,
the noise of the cannonading is often
heard on the south coast of Kent,
England, and even as far as the out
skirts of London.
