REPUBLICAN TICKET
OREGON CITY, May 21. (Editor of

gratified over the primary election of

I should have liked to have secured
the nomination tor the office for which
I was a candidate, I cannot help but
ftel that where I was best
known, hero In Oregon City, where I
havo resided for tho last 10 years,
that my neighbors gave me their hearty
endorsement. I carried my own pre
cinct, receiving more votes than both
of my opponents, and carried Oregon
City by 112 votes. I carried every pre
cinct In tho city except three, and in
two of those I was tied for first place.
I have no sore spots, and I believe
J am a good enough Repullcan to urge
my friends to support the Republcan
nominees selected at the primary. 1

supporters who voted for me in the

CHICAGO, May 20. Telegrams pro
testing against the methods of apply
ing the new wages for railroad em
ployes are on their way today to Di
rector General McAdoo from John
Fttzpatrlek, president ot the Chicago
Federation of Labor. The telegram
states that the plan proposed Is ' a
"blow at the standards of living of
the workers In the railroad and all
other Industries as thousands wou d
leave the service for better employ
ment." The contention Is that wages and
cost of living havo Increased so much
since 1915 that wage increases based
on the 1915 scale are not increases at
all.

PORTLAND, May 2 Judge Thorn
as F. Ryan, assistant state treasurer
has in all probability won the Re
publican nomination for state treas
urer over O. P. HoC. O. A. Johns has
taken the Republican nomination for
Justice of the supreme court from
Judgo Percy R. Kelly, it la probable.
Fairly complete returns from all
counties, save Grant, Jefferson and
Crook, give Judge Ryan 16,902 and
Mr. Hoff 16,468 a lead of 434. Judge
Ryan will in all probability gain in
stead of .lose in the complete returns.
Mr. Johns will probably assume of
fice early in the summer, for Justice
Wallace McCsmant, whom he will
succeed, has signified his intention of
resigning soon, and Governor Withy
combe has announced hs will appoint
the Republican nominee as soon as
Justice McCamant resigns.
E
An Increase in the wages of the
operatives of the municipal elevator
is looked upon as an early probability,
as the city has experienced great dif
ficulty in securing men to. run the big
lift at 60 per month. Two regular
men are employed and one relief
man. Jack Straight is still on the Job,
but Charley Priebe quit Tuesday and
the city may be forced to raise the
pay to $70 a month, or shut down the
elevator as an alternative. While the
budget provides for a scale of $60,
It may have to be exceeded in this in
stance to ke?p the lift in operation.
LOYALTY LEAGUE
SECURES FUNDS
FOR RED CROSS
The Loyalty League of Beaver
Creek met Wednesday evening and
this proved to be one of tho most en
thusiastic meetings he d in that sec
tion. The meeting was in the form of
a "starter" for the Red Cross drive,
and over $50 was raised for the Red
Cross, besides $79 worth of war sav
ing 'stamps were disposed of.
A box of candy, made by Mrs. R. L.
Badger, who has become somewhat
famous for her delicious candies, was
sold by auction, the proceeds to go
towards the Red Cross. The box of
sweets brought $2.75. The auctioneer
was Abel Thomas.

SUCCESS COMES
TO FARM WOMAN
WITH CHICKENS
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Wade, well
known poultry fanciers of Clackamas
county, whose farm Is located at
Cams, and formerly owned by Kaln-
hofer Brothers, were in Oregon City
Wednesday, bringing to market
twenty dozen eggs.
Mr. and Mrs. Wade wers formerly
engaged In the poultry industry at
Clackamas, and traded their farm at
that place to Klenhofer Brothers.
The- Wade family is raising Rhode
Island Reds, whlla Klenhofer Broth
era have selected White Leghorns.
Mrs. Wade has taken entire charge
of tho poultry while her husband par-
forms other farm duties, owing; to
the scarcity ot farm help. Being well
posted in the care of poultry, Mrs.
Wards has been most successful in
this Industry, although shs does not
depend on the modern Incubator, but
solely on the bens.
Last year Mrs. Wade raised 500
chickens, and this season's setting
was started early, January and Feb
ruary being the months that were,
chosen for setting. Seventy-five were
hatched in January and seventy-five
in February. Only four of these died,
and thes3 by accident. At the pres
ent time she owns 110 grown birds,
and 149 young birds.
Mrs. Wade believes there Is more
money in this breed of birds . than
other breeds, as twelve hens were
i recently marketed in this city, that
, netted her $17.50, for live weight.
The eggs from the birds of the;
Wade farm that were marketed in
Oregon' City Wednesday averaged
twelve to two opunds,. while tho or
dinary sized ggs average ten eggs
to the pound. Most of the twenty doz
en eggs brought here measured from
six and one-half to seven Inches in
circumference, while tho measure
ment from tip. to tip was -about seven
and one-half to eight inches. Thes)
are believed to be some of the finest
.eggs that are marketed in Oregon
City and brought a market price of
36 cents.
While caring - for . the , 106-acre
farm, Mr. Wade is finding that wo
men can be of great assistance dur
ing tha absence of the men at tkf
front Mr. and Mrs. Wade have three
sons serving their country. Alva Rich
Wade is with Company E, Field Ar
tillery, In France. He was stationed
at Camp Hill, Virginia, for some time.
His brother, Milss Clay Wade, who
enlisted during the Mexican trouble,
stationed for some time at Honolulu,
is now at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Lester
Wade, the third son, who has been
in San Francisco, is among tha young
men to come in the draft
LIGHT ATTENDANCE
L
CUTS OFF FACULTY
MINMOUTH, Or., May 20. Be
cause of the smal attendance this
year and the fact the same condition
is looked for next year, it has been
decided to cut down the faculty of
the Oregon Normal school to about
three-fourths its present number. Al
ready three members have been notifi
ed that they will be dismissed at the
end of the term, -and nine others have
resigned to go to other, school posi
tions, or to take up war work.
Will H. Burton, assistant In the edu
cation department and instructor In
pedagogy, and Misses Madge Phil
brook and Olive Valck, assistants in
the music and art departments, wil
go to other positions, as the work is
so light in these departments now
that the head instructor can handle
all of it conveniently.
Professor H. C. Ostein, instructor in
mathematics and mayor of Mon
mouth, has resigned both positions
and will become a Y. M. C. A. war
secretary. He is expecting a call to
New, York at any time, where he will
take a brief training and enter . the
Y. M. C. A. work in France. Miss
Laura Kennon, of the department of
English, will prepare herself during
the summer for war work next fall
at an Eastern institution, and Miss
Greene wil' prepare for similar work
at the Reed college summer school.
Professor E. S. Evenden's leave ot
absence at Columbia university has
been extended another year, at his re
quest, as he wishes to contiaue his
training there. His position at the
head of the education department will
b filled again by A. L. Ide.
M. S. Pittman, the mral school ex
pert, will also go to Columbia to ob
tain a doctor's degree, and no one has

I KELSO
KELSO, Wash., May h Positive
Identification of the mother and two
children shot to death hero Sunday
night was made today, an important
step in tho process of unraveling a
crime mystery that had begun to
baffle the officers ot half ot tha state
of Washington.
A. D. Chrisholm, of Snoqualmie,
Wash., identified the victims as mem
bers ot tho family of William Horner,
for the past six months residents of
near Snoqaalmla.
The dead woman, he was positive, Is
Mrs. Horner, the wife. While not
knowing the names ot the children, he
recognized their features, and tho
names of Ada and Azra, given in the
little girl's fragmentary diary, are ac
cepted as fitting the daughter and son,
Mr. Horner, who brought his familjT
down the valley by automobile only
to disappear had been In the employ
of the Snoqualmie Lumber Company
mill from some time in November un
til May 4, said Mr. Chrisholm, book
keeper and pay clerk of the mill com
pany. Hbrner worked only as a com
mon laborer, he said. Ho could five
no information as to whers tho fam
ily lived before coming to Snoqual
mie. Light is believed to havo been shed
by the visitor on the question of mo
tive back of the shooting, granted
that the missing husband and father
did the deed, as nearly everyone in
Cowlitz county believes. Information
of this character which Mr. Chisholm
may have given was kept secret by
Sheriffs Studebaker, of Cowlitz, and
Bicsecker, of Clarke county, who have
worked to ferrit out facts of the crime
since its discovery Monday.
Hints that the Homers had finan
cial troubles and that the little auto
mobile in which they traveled may
not havo been paid for reached the
public.
L
HAVE TO LABOR ELSE
PAY CITY'S PENALTY
Following the example of other
cities throughout various sections of
the United States, Oregon City will
probably enact an ordinance compel
ling every able-bodied man in the
city to do a certain amount of work
during the period ot tha war, and at
Tuesday night's meeting of the
council, City Attorney Story was re
quested to' draft an ordinance for
presentation at the June meeting of
the council.
There are a number of idle men in
Oregon City, and while many of them
have independent means, it is pos
sible that the. city will demand that
even those whose financial position is
unassailable shall not ' roam the
streets In idleness while the country
is at war.
TO JAIL ON FAILURE
TO PAY FINE OF $10
W. H. Harris. R. W. Faust, A. M.
McGlnnis, Walter Smith and Lester
Hurlas were fined $10 each before
City Recorder L. L. Porter at West
Linn. The men were charged with dis
orderly conduct, the specific allega
tions being that they engaged in a
brawl at the carnival grounds on Sat
urday night.
In lieu ot the fine money, the men
were remanded to the county Jail.
The sheriff is under the impression
that A. M. McGlnnis, one of the brawl
ers, is out from the state training
school on probation, and he may be
reutrned there. All the men are em
ployed on river boats making this
port.
