FIND NEW ROAD
TO DODGE BUMPS
Opposition of property owners
alone 17th street In, Portland has
blocked the proposed Improvement o
the strip between the ends of the pav
ed roadway In Clackamas county and
the paved streets of Portland.
For more than a year, this strip has
been in deplorable condition, and at
tention of the Portland authorities
waa called to this fact by members
of the Live Wires. Assurance was re
ceived by Mayor Baker that immedi
ate steps would be taken to repair
the strip and make a continuous pav
ed highway between Portland and
Clackamas county on this route.
Proceedings were then begun by
the Department of Public Works In
Portland for the Improvement A 20
foot strip of asphaltic dressing laid
on the macadam bed was proposed.
Property owners along 17th street
remonstrated against the Improve
ment, basing their objections mainly
on the excessive costs of materials
during the war. A small number of
property owners opposed the 20 foot
strip plan, and favored a complete
Improvement, but even this plan was
opposed by those who refused to sanc
tion any sort of improvement
Following hearings held by City
Commissioner Barbur, the proposed
improvement was cancelled and no
work will be done on this street
Automobile drivers who are forced
to use this route, because It Is the
shortest into Portland from Oregon
City, have found a new route which
evades many of the bumps on 17th
street
This route Is as follows: One and a
half blocks along 17th street to Mar
lon avenue, thence east to East 13th
street north on 13th to Bybee ave
nue thence east on Bybee to Mll
waukle avenue and into the city. This
route is only a trifle longer than the
old route, and is over paved streets,
the greater portion of the distance.

HOME GUARD IS
HOST TO CITY
AT FIRST FETE
The first ball to be given by the
Home Guards of Oregon City proved
to be one of the social events of the
season, at the Busch hall Saturday
evening. Long- before the hour of danc-

the hall, many of whom came as spec-

the Home Guards. This musical or
ganization is composed of some of the
leading musicians of Oregon City, and
they displayed their musical talent on
this occasion.
The hall was artistically decorated
for the occasion. The Stars and
Stripes, as well as the flags of the
allied nations, were used with artist
ic effect. Among the flags that attract
ed much attention was the large Can
adian flag owned by Mr. and Mrs. H.
J. Bigger. This flag was carried
through the Boer War, showed signs
of hardships of the battle. It has a
number of holes pierced by bullets.
This is highly prized by Mr. and Mrs.
Bigger. It was caried through the
Boer War by their son-in-law, Frances

Territory, Alaska. This flag was drap-

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
MAY Be OVERCOME
If you have Catarrhal Deafness or
head noises go to your druggist and
get 1 ounce of Parmlnt (double
strength), and add to it pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar.
Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head noises. Clog
ged nostrils should open, breathing be
come easy and the mucus stop drop
ping into the throat. It is easy to pre
pare, costs little and is pleasant to
take. Any one who has Catarrhal
Deafness or head noises should give
bunting and evergreens, and the cen
ter was draped with flags. The decor
ations were in charge of Mrs.J. Askew
and Miss Nan Cochran.
One of the novel features of the
decorations was the presence of a
number of magnificent palms, loaned
for the affair by the Oregon City
Greenhouse. This patriotic concern
also gave hundreds of beautiful roses
for the event, and these were display
ed along the walls, and arranged so
that the guests of the evening could
pick them out to take home with them
on leaving.
The first of a series of social af
fairs given by the Home Guard will
long be remembered by those attend
ing as one of the most enjoyable
events ever held in Oregon City.
The committee having charge of
the affair was composed of C. L. St.
Clair, chairman; John F. Clark, John
Sievers, Lake May and Captain
Charles Hidy.

educator Wednesday afternoon, when
a circuit court jury, after fifteen min
utes deliberation, found for the de

The trial was rather sensational
and Oak Grove turned out in great
numbers to hear what had been In

The court room was crowded all
throughout the day.
The complaint was died only two
weeks ago, and Prof. Gutherie, to
vindicate himself of the charges, in

A. Dullard, guardian ad litem, ,set

school hours at Oak Grove school
about a year ago, stole a kiss during
a quiet moment when the two were

her testimony was to this effect on
the stand today. She further claimed
that Gutherie wrote her a note ask-

Sha and her guardian were the wit
nesses, together with another school
girl who claimed to. have noted her
wrought-up condition at the time.
Prof. Gutherie deniod the charges
altogether and pronounced them ab
surd. Testimony showing his good
reputation was Introduced, and it
was brought out during, the trial that

which each side has won one wing.
The scales are now even
By their counter attack the French
stopped the enemy from carrying out
his plan and at the Bame time assur

Emmett L. Allen, a riveter employ
ed at a Portland ship yard, and whose
home la at 930 Hood streot, that elty,
gave his life on Suuday afternoon
while attempting to save Miss Wilms
Wood fin, a 20 year old former Oregon
City girl, from drowning in the Clack
amas river, just below the Southern
Pnclfto bridge. Although Allen lost
his life In his heroic effort to rescue
the girl, she was saved from a watery
grave by the timely assistance ot
Leonard Bayless, another Porltundor,
who was on a picnic near the bunks
ot the stream.
Miss Woodfln, who had moved to
Portland two months ago. was upend
ing the day visiting herein company
with Miss Helen Lucas and Miss
Mary Lucas, of Parkplace, had gone
to the river for a dip. All three ot the
girls are proficient swimmers, al
though Miss Woodfln was not used to
the colder water of the Clackamas.
The Lucas girls have swam the river
at Parkplace a number ot times, and
were able to withstand the chill. In
an effort to swim from the Parkplace
side across to Gladstone, Miss Heleo
Lucas and Miss Woodfln struck out,
and when about half way, where the
swift current comes In, Miss Lucas
heard her companion say she could go
no farther. Sha was told to turn over
and float, and Miss Lucas made a
valient effort to support her, but
could not in the swift stream. Just
as Miss Woodfln was preparing to
float a wave struck her In the face,
causing her to swallow considerable
water, and she was seen to go under.
Then Miss Lucas gave the alarm, and
Mr. Allen, who was fishing from the
shore on the Gladstone side, in com
pany with his wife, struck out after
the drowning rlrl. Miss Lucas says
that he' did not stop to take off either
his coat or his boots, and while he
started out strong, by the time he
passed her he was considerably wind
ed, and was heard to groan. But a
short time before he had partaken ot
a hearty lunch, and this, coupled with
the chill of the Icy water was more
then he could stand. After reaching
Miss Woodfln, he supported ber for
several yards, back toward the Park-
place shore, where the current was
not so swift. When about twenty feet
from the bank, he waa heard to shout
I can't stand It boys, I'm gone," and
he raised his bands and sank.
Leonard Bayless, another Portland-
er, was a little ways below, and as he
saw Allen go down, he hurriedly kick
ed off his shoes and made his way to
the side of the struggling girl, who
was about to go under again. He got
her safely to shore, with the assist
ance ot two men and a skiff which
was nearby, but Allen did not again
appear on the surface. .
His body was located a few hund
rea reet below by Ueorge lilmler, a
Parkplace fisherman, and a young lad
dived down and brought It to the top.
The body was In about 12 feet of
water. A physician and a nurse, with
a pulmotor, were hastened to the
scene by the Portland, Railway. Light
ft Power Company, but after working
for an hour It was seen that efforts
at resuscitation were unavailing. The
remains were brought to this city, but
were later removed to the Miller and
Tracey undertaking establishment In
Portland. Besides a wife, Allen Is sur
vived by his father and mother, ye
was auoui tu years ot age.
Miss woounn, whose nevres wore
badly shattered by the accident, was
taken to the Lucas home, where she
rested until six o'clock Monday even
ing, when she returned to Portland.
WAR ON MOLES
IS PROFITABLE
IN TWO WAYS
IDT
The funeral services of the late
Emmett L. Allen, ot Portland, who
lost bis life in the Clackamas river
Sunday while endeavoring to save the
life of Miss Wllla Woodfln, of this
city, were conducted Tuesday after
noon at 4:30 o'clock from the Miller
& Tracy funeral parlors, Portland.
The funeral services were largely at
tended, with many Spanish American
war veterans present and were very
impressive. Elder Haywood, of the
Seventh Day Adventlst Tabernacle
church, Portland, officiated, and fol
lowing the services at the chapel, the
Spanish American war veterans took
charge of the remains. Tho young
man was given military hurlul and
this service was In charge of Major
Richard Dlech, of the Spanish Am
erlcan Wur Veterans. .The pall bear
ers were from that organization. The
casket was covered with handsome
floral tributes, and required a special
vehicle to carry the blossoms. Many
of these, were from the shipyards
where Mr. Allen was employed as a
riveter, while others were from the
Spanish American war veterans,, who
served with "Mr. Allen. Florad trib
utes came from many other sources.
The Interment was in the Rose City
cemetery, where many friends at
tended the Inst rites.
Mr. Allen was born In Holse, Idaho,
July 14, 1883, and has resided in
Portland for ten years. He was In the
-ivy for four years and was consider.
ed an excellent swimmer. It Is believed
that a recent attack of rheumatism,
and the shock of the cold water when
plunging Into the Clackamas river,
was the cause of his drowning.
,Mr. Allen was the only child of Mr
and Mrs. C. C. Allen, of 42 North
Tenth Street, Portland.
Edith Nugtuit was miru lmd when a
knock suundtHl at the front tloor (but
trvnlng. CuIUts wre a rarity, 'o
dally on a rainy ntulit like this, She
went to the door 'xpwiUiir to 11 ml one
ot the neighbors, hut there stood a
tall, etrttnee yomttf num.

"No; they lire nil awny. Are are

Yes. I'm Mr. Kurgan's cousin.
Edmund Miirsli, I Mopped off between

Is there a hotel here where I can

"T here Is out), but It's very poor. It
would be a dreary sort ot place to

glance out Into the raging atom de

yon come In and wait hero, A relative
ot the Dorgnns is alwsyt welcome."
The man's virile, polished personal
ity waa ot the type not often seen In
mall towns. And to Edith bis coin
ing wss like a breath ot romance from
the outside world from which she bad
been largely excluded aloe she had
taken the reins of the household after
her mother's death.
The Durgsns returned home the fol
lowing day and Edith related to them
the incident of their cousin's coming.
Tea, I remember distant cousin of
my father's by the name of Edmond
Msrth, but I hsven't seen him tot
years. You say be had dark hair? As
Z remember him, his hair wss light
like his father's."
Perhaps It grew dsrk as be got
older. Many times It does."
When she went home she found her
father reading the paper. As she en
tered he said excitedly :
"Here's ao account of tho capture
of the man who committed that big
diamond robbery at Conway's Jewelry
store last week. He wss nabbed by a
detective Just as he was boarding the
11:20 train last night Mighty good
thing they got him. That Conwsy esse
wss a bold piece of work."
When be finished reading the paper
and laid It down, Edith picked it up
and eagerly scanned the accouut ot
the robber capture. A sudden fear
clutched bard at ber heart The new
paper described him ss tall, slender,
with brown hslr and blue eyes that
was also an accurste description of
the msn who hsd called there last
night Could It be possible that ho

of the discrepancy between bis ap

brance of him. Perhaps bo wssn't the
real Edmond Marsh st all I He had
seemed so strslghtforwsrd and hon

voice ber fears to her fattier for the
possible connection between their
guest and the diamond robber bad evi

Edith did not sleep much tbnt night
She thought the matter over end over
In all its phases.
"Why couldn't things have been dif

Next morning's ninll brought a let

the simmture. She caught her brent h

Surely it will explain thine," hc

Concerning the Opera Glass.
It would be Interesting to trnco the
full history of what Is known as the
opera glass, but which probably exist
ed In some form or other long before
its widespread use at the opera gave
It that distinctive name.
We know that tho ancients had the
magnifying glass and something akin
to the modern telesenpe; glass being
much , more freely used in antiquity
than until a few years ago wos ac
knowledged by some historical wise
acres. But though we rend of the
burning of ships by powerful magni
fiers of the sun's rays, and of observa
tions of the heavenly bodies by means
of the telescope, we do not know
whether the bodies on the stage were
brought under clearer Inspection by
means of the equivalent of the opera
gloss.

l'utriutlcully answering President
Wilson's appeal of a short time ago
to state banking Institutions to loud
thnlr support and share the benefits
of the Federal Reserve System, the
Hunk of Oregon City, the oldest bank
ing Institution In Cluckamas county,
lias stepped forward us the tenth
state bank out of Oregon's one hund
red and eighty and Joined the System.
It Is the Government's endeavor to
keep the resources ot the country at
the maximum degree of mobilization,
not alone to better assist In carrying
on the needs arising from the war,
but in order thut tho assets of the
financial Institutions of the country
become more liquid for the meeting
of reasonable and seasonable domand
by legitimate commerce and farming.
Upon tho other hand, while not In-
torforing with Its operation under the
state banking laws of Oregon, the
Hunk of Oregon City Increases its
scope ot serving by acquiring the re
serve and rediscount privileges of the
Reserve System as well as other ad
vantages of a constructive nature.
