P
Work on the state highway be
tween Oregon City and New Era is
progressing very rapidly this fine
weather under the direction of Road
master Thomus A. Roots. A large
crew of men, with teams, are busy'
all the, time.
This stretch of road will be one of
the scenic prides of the state high
way. It extends along the Willamette
river, with hjgh wooded hills on both
sides of the river. A great many
springs and small streams trickle
down the hillside and catch bowls
will be placed at intervals along. the
road to provide drinking water for
tourists. Tall trees will overshadow
the road and keep it cool in summer.
The person who started the rumor
that Went Linn Liberty Loan sollc
tors were being paid a commission
for each bond sold, will face a federal
espionage charge, if he or she can be
located.
West Linn was up in arms Monday
and rightly so. The little city on the
west side of the Willamette has had
this particular form of pro-Hun
propaganda to contend with during
the past few days, and the bond sales
have been greatly hindered. Sheriff
Wilson spent a large part of Monday
trying to run down the source of the
etory.
It has been generally whispered
about the solicitors were paid $2.50
for each bond sold, and that the local
banks were selling direct to the pur
chaser at $49. Austrians on the west
slda are under suspicion as having
helped spread the story, but there Is
nothing more than hearsay of vague
nature against the foreigners. Ridicul
ous as the story Is, there were many
who believed the yarn, and a reluct
ance greeted the bond solicitors that
was Inexplicable until some one told
the workers the reason for the poor
response.
The story was started maliciously,
and a serious federal charge will be
brought against the perpetrator if he
can be found. Any information con
cerning the circulation of the yarn
should be turned over at once to the
sheriff, district attorney s office, or
to Assistant U. S. Attorney Latour
ette, and a prosecution will follow by
the federal government.
WAR WORKERS
OF CLACKAMAS
TO MEET IN MAY
County Judge H. S. Anderson, chair
man of th9 Clackamas county council
of defense, J. E. Calavan, chairman
of the War Savings committee and
M. D. Latourette, chairman of the
Clackamas County Liberty Loan com
mittee have been asked to rally their
forces in Clackamas county for at
tendance at the first Oregon War
Conference to be held iu Portland,
May 22 and 23.
In addition to the workers In these
three divisions the workers in every
other activity, such as Red Cross,
Food Conservation, food production
and others will be asked to attend
this important rally.
The meeting has been called at the
request of government officials and
will be held under the auspices of the
State Council of Defens9 and war
workers from every section of ,the
state will attend.
Speakers of national and Interna
tional fame will attend the Confer
ence, being sent to Portland for this
meeting by the National Council of
Defense and the Committee of Public
Information. These speakers will
have charge of the first day's pro
gram and on the second day the var
ious divisions will meet in sectional
meetings.
The plan of the meeting is to give
war workers an opportunity of secur
ing new enthusiasm for their work,
solving by discussion local problems
and planning on tbe war activities in
Oregon during the second year of war
against Germany.
for 1 minute; 5c for each additional
minute. Unlimited service to sub
scriber stations.
From Portland to Oak Grove or
Mllwaukle. Two number service, 10c
for 3 minutes; 5c for each aditional
minute; Particular person service, 15c
for 1 minute; 5c for each additional
minute.
Until such time as the Commission
can complete an investigation of the
local exchange rates at the points in
volved and determine tha bearing
thereon of the free Interchange of
service the rates between these
points should be adjusted to coincide
with those in effect December 31,
1917, except that they shall be modi
fled, as far as two number service is
concerned, to include a time limit on
each conversation. This provision Is
to assist in the development of mora
efectlve- and satisfactory service
and to ellmlnata present abuse of the
privilege of unlimited conversations.
A reasonable provision In this re
gard appears to be as follows:
From Portland to Oak Grove or
Mllwaukle. 5c for first 5 minutes;
5c tor each additional 3 minutes or
fraction thereof.
From Oak Grove or Mllwaukle to
Portland. No charge tor first 6
minutes; 5c for each additional 3
minutes or fraction thereof.
In addition to this adjustment of
rates subscribers are entitled to re
ceive refund covering the entira
amount of charges made against them
in excess of those which would have
resulted in application of the rates
in effect prior to January 1, 1918.

time since the war began, had tanks .
In action. Three ot these engines of
war accompanied the storming in
fantry, which, at latest reports, had '
battled forward Into the eastsrn out
skirts of the town, where severe
fighting took place.
From the French sector came word
that the Germans had made very
slight progress.
The assault was proceeded by a
heavy bombardment about Villersr
Bretonneux. At the conclusion of this
preparation the Germans surged for
ward along the whole British front
south ot tbe Somme, although it
seemed evident that they had Villers
Bretonneux as then ultimate goal be
cause ot its dominating position. r
The first attack was thrown back,
but the enemy Immediately came for
ward again, and this time met with
more success.
In the face of heavy machine gun
and rifle fire the Germans pushed on
toward the town, their three tanks
leading. The British gave way
slightly, and the enemy got a footing
in the eastern fringe of the town.
