Can 'Kid' C o c k e r a 1
t
He's Greedy and Fat
High Prices Offered
This week has been designated as
"Can the Cockeral" week In Oregon
and there Is being conducted a strong
campaign thruout the state to dispose
of the useless fowls.
As a special inducement to get
these cockerals away from the farmd
this week the Union Meat Co. and
Front Street dealers of Portland are
offering two cents a pound above the
njarket for old roosters. The Union
Meat Qo. will pay 20 cents per pound
f. o. b. Portland.
It is costing the farmers of Clacka
mas county $12,110 to feed the roost
ers thruout the year. The cost for
each bird is obout $3.50 per year. The
difference in the sale price for fertile
and infertile eggs is 1 cent per dozen
and this would mean a saving of
$13810 for Clackamas county farm
ers if you get rid of the cockerals.
The roosters are very greedy and
eat a large amount of high priced
groin and they are not needed on the
farm after the breeding Beason in the
Spring.
If you don't care to sell or can the
rooster yourself invite the preacher
in for dinner next Sunday and have
a big feed.

TRAIN HIT HEAD-QN
. ONE KILLED HT OSWEGO
Failure to observe train orders Fri
day resulted in a gruesome tragedy
In which one life was instantly
crushed out, and two other railroad
men were possibly fatally Injuredl
Engineer Wlllard Knight, of South
ern Pacific Train 234. enroute to Port
land, was lammed in beneath , the
boiler of his engine and died Im
mediately. Up to a late horur ' Friday
sight the body had not been recovered
on account of the tons of "wreckage
piled in the narrow canyon of the
West Side line about two miles from
Oswego. A head-on collision of two
freights caused the accident
Engineer Walter Davis, pilot of the
southbound freight, was very serious
ly scalded and will probably die. C.
R. Oakes, bis fireman, was badly in
jured, and C. L. Dicks, conductor, C.
E. Earl, brakeman, and E. C. Erick
son, fireman, were slightly injured.
Engineer Knight's train had the
right-of-way, headed toward Portland,
and according to railroad officials, No.
231, southbound, should have awaited
Engineer Knight's train at Oswego
Failure to properly Interpret their
orders by the crew of 231 resulted in
the two trains meeting head-on at a
curve Just below the rock crusher at
Goodin Station.
Seme of the crew jumpea, but in
dications are that Engineer Knight
stuck to his post until setting his
brakes, and then tried to leap from
his seat in the cab, only to be pinned
beneath the boiler of his engine which
was thrown In the air and turned over
of the cab, together with a car
of heavy timbers. The scene of the
accident is in a narrow canyon of the
road bed and the clearing of the
wreckage was made extremely dif
ficult by reason of the fact that there
was no side tracks near or any place
to pile the wreckage.
Members of the crews stated that
the trains were running about 15
and 20 miles an hour when the collis
ion occured. The impact ruined both
engines, and one was telescoped In
to the other. Engineer Knight's train
was hauling a heavy load of freight
and consisted of some 25 cars and the
terifflc Impact not only piled up the
first two or three cars of his train
like so much kindling wood, but broke
the ends of freight cars through al
most the length of the train. A heavy
steel oil car was thrown high snd dry
above the wreckage, on top of the
boiler of Knight's train.
On the southbound, which consist
ed of only a few freight cars, the
first box car was smashed completely
and the freight scattered about in
every direction. The second car bed
was thrown clear from the trucks
Members of the wrecking crew stat
ed it to be one of the worst wrecks
in their knowledge, and progress was
extremely slow.
Knight resided at 3S9 Schuler
Street with his wife and child. He was
formerly a Canby resident and was a
cousin of County Commissioner Adam
Knight.
The noise of the impact brought out
big dynamise explosion had occurred
at the rock crusher. All possible as
sistance waa given the injured men,
by neighbors and the uninjured mem
bers of the train crews, and a special
train was dispatched from Portland
to render first aW measures.
Engineer Knight was well known
around Oregon City and Canby and
was a member or the local order of
Elks. He was known as a highly cap
able railroad man and was extremely
popular among his fellow workmen.
His family was prostrated by the
news of the accident. :

During the three weeko voyage the

one of which was sunk by a convey.
NEW YOHK, June 6. Two morf
vessels, a Norwegian steamship and
one schooner, were added to the list
of ship known to have been sank by
the German submarine which are
raiding in American water. The total
now stand at 14 five steamers and
nine ichooner.
The fact- which tood out most
j prominently In the day's developments
is that the U-boats are still operating
near the coast and have not returned
to their bases, assuming that the two
which already have been Identified
are the only ones on this side ot the
Atlantic.
This was demonstrated when the
Norwegian steamer Eidscold was
sunk off the Virginia cape last yes
terday. The location of the attack
shows also that the submarines are
moving steadily southward, if they
are the same ones which attacked
shipping almost at the gateway to
New York Harbor. - r

death la his house near Baker'
Bridge, six miles from Oregon City

aid from neighbors. When they arriv
ed the fire had made headway be
yond stopping. Searching the ruins
after the fire had burned itself out,
the neighbors found the body of Cliff
with an unloaded rifle and an ax be

that Cliff was cooking his supper and
working near the house when he dis
covered It on fire. Running into the
burning building to recover his posses

Coroner Ed Johnson did not deem an
inquest necessary.
Arthur Cliff has lived alone on his
20 acre ranch on the banks of the
Clackamas river for about 20 years.
His house, built at the side of a road

the conglomeration ot rough stones
from the river bed and pieces of
boards picked up here and there
from whietfll was constructed.
There are no known relatives of the
deceased living In the United States
but it is thought there is one brother
in England. The remains' were brought
to Oregon City to the undertaking
