During the- evening performance of the llarnum & Bailey circus in ron land recently two automobiles dlap peared from the ground, one belong ing to Peter Jensen, of that city, ana tho other to the Foter-Kloler Sign Painting Company of Portland. The Oregon City officer! were immediate ly notified, as it was thought me au inin.ii.iin thieve were making their way toward tho aouth. All, of course got busy," and Veil played tneir pan of sleuths, but Mayor E. C, Hackett notified Officers Joyner and Frost that. he had seen a stray car neur New Era, standing along the roadway, without iiaengors. The officers Immediately went in that direction, secured the au tomobile and brought It to the court house yard, where a lock was placed on the wheels. Later the owners from Portland appeared, and paid Joyner and Frost flu, but me laugn is now on Mayor Hackett, who had given the officer the "tip." The mayor says "tho cigars are still coming. J When Peter Jensen was Informed that his automobile had been found and brousht to Oregon City, he came to get his car, but refused to pay reward for tho recovery, claiming that he had his automobile insured against being stolen, and did not think Is waa "up to him" to pay for Its recovery The Oregon City officer, II. II. Hughes did not agree with him, so he placed a still Btrongor chain around the wheels of the automobile, and held her tight here. The officer was de termlned to fight for 'his reward, as he had used plenty of gasoline In his own automobile in trying to locate the lost one, and he demanded the re ward, and it was necessary to take It to court, and by so doing Hughes re ceived $1875, and the mallcarrler, who "put him wise," is to receive hi reward from Mr. Hughes. Hughes says this man will get more than cigars, so Hazen Bernard will be the lucky ninn, as he is the mall carrier, who helped to play the 'part of a siutb. No trance of the thieves have been found, but no doubt they have gone south. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. H. K.

During the summer the buildings have been thoroughly overhauled and cleaned and the Janitor are now put ting on the finishing touches. At the Barclay building the school board had planned to repair the furnaces to make them hold out another year, but they were found to be In such bad condition that new furnaces werto de cided upon. The Installation of these furnaces will be completed this week. At the Eastbam school some much- n eded cement walk has been laid. In the high school no increase in numbers is expected; a slight de crease will be no surprise. The new Man-Power law is sure to take many young men from the schools. Young men between the ages of 18 and 21 mar not expect to remain long in school, no matter where thKy enter. In the grades some Increase In en rollment Is expected. It is learned that no attempt will be made to cla lfy high students before the first day of the term thus year. While there will be several new faces on tha teaching corps, a major ity of the teacher were here yecr. Supt. R. W. Kirk, who superintendent of the Corvallls city schools for seven years, i much pleased with school conditions here. He says It is a vital part of the patriotic duty of every citizen to rally to the support of the schools. All three of the principals. W. L Arant, J. R. Bowland, and N. W. Bow land will be iu their places next Mon day morning. The schools are fortu nate in retaining these men. The teaching corps will be as follows: R. W. Kirk, superintendent. High School Principal, W.

I have fortified myself with a cup of coffee made on my sterno outfit George Washington coffe which I stole a slice of army bread which I begged, nd Jam which I likewise stole. You see to what straits I am driven. The letter writing is difficult for a number of reasons, and I am mentioning It because I am begging forglvenness for not having written more frequently. There are so many to whom I have wished to write, my girls, my majors, my Seniors, my patients, and all the friends who have done so much for me. So, I beg of you all forgive the few letters, and write to me Just the same, for It is not lack of thought of you, nor lack of Interest In you, nor lack of appreciation for the kindnesses. REGISTRATION IN DRAFT EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS Our hospital are tilled wuii Am erlcan wounded, they are wonderful. Never complaining, never grumbling; they speak of their wounds as scratch es such scratches and talk but of getting back, and showing the Boche what the Amaricans are over here for. One of the Marines objected to an anesthetic, giving as his reason that "the Marines knew no pain." They are the finest sports that ever lived, and the French are filled with the finest of admiration for them and speak always with unlimited praise of what they have done and are doing. A French officer told me after the Chateau-Thierry affair that one Am erican was worth five Englishmen. And then he added, "if they had had the experience they would excel even the French," and that Is the greatest compliment In the world, for where the French are the Germans are held. When the men came in after Chat eau-Thlerry, I went into a email ward wnere mere were aoout tnirty or forty men mostly gassed or with small wounds (comDarativelvl T laststood In the door and looked In, and 'a8 finally said, "Well, hello." You should have heard the reply; they Just shouted "hello." An "honest to God American woman that speaks United States" is the most popular adjunct of a hospital, or anything else for that matter.. Often as we go along the streets talking the men will stop us, and say, 'say, do you mind letting me hear that a minute," or something to that effect: "gosh, ain't that music," greet ed us one night. They are very funny, poor things, but the depth of their homesickness will never be known except by one who has experienced it in the same circumstances. If you don't do anything else write letters to every one you know who is over here. But to go back to the hospital, I leaned up against the bed while they began to recount experiences, and I have never spent such a thrilling hour, for an hour went by before we knew it. I wish I might tell you some of the tales", but if written ltwould be cut out by the censor's sharp scissors, so what is the use? Anyhow they - did wonders, and have kept on doing won ders, and we are so filled with pride we Just swell whenever the French speak of them. Nearly every monring now we stand and watch the long lines come There were exactly 4,157 registra tion ih Clackama county Thurs day, according to final figures check ed up by the local board Saturday ev ening. The government' estimate waa 3,520, the county board figured an even 4,000, but the final showing exceeded all expectations. The board has been buy since Fri day morning, checking up outlying precinct and sorting over the card according to selective service instruc tions. This task will be largely com pleted by Monday and definite instruc tions a to the mailing of question naires are hourly expected, according to Miss Harrington. Additional cards are coming in by every mall, from those who were away from the coun ty at the time of registration and who registered In -outside counties. These will continue to arrive for perhaps a week. Edward Maxmeyer, a Clackamas county boy, has been inducted by the local board to Camp Pike, at Little Rock, Ark., to continue his studies in the officers' training camp. Advices were so received by the local board Saturday. Chester Douglas, another local registrant, left Saturday evening for Ft. McDowell, Cal. Albert Joseph Scoth, an Oregon City registrant, has also been inducted for duty at Camp Pike. Word was received Saturday from the local board at Anchorage, Alaska, that Herman Gerhardus, formerly a Clackama county registrant, had been inducted into service from Al aska and would report at Llscum, Alacka, at once. John Frederick Mason and John Frederick Erickson, two limited ser vice men, have been called to the colors, and sent to the Clackamas board for clerical duties in connec tion with the new draft. From here they will probably be sent to Wash ington at a later date. Lloyd Riches, formerly advertising manager of the Enterprise, has also been called to the colors and reported at Vancouver Saturday morning. He will probably be stationed in Portland. OVNWIS OFFER THEM FOR EH PAH MOTH E If Word was received Tuesday noon that James Walsh, who escaped from the asylum at Cedro Wooley, Wash ington, and who was captured by Sheriff Wilson Sunday morning at Oswego, had been held by immigra tion authorities at the Washington in stitution on deportation orders. Just what Walsh is to be deported for is not known, but local officers were ad vised to hold him until overnment authorities would call for their man. A large number of owner of auto mobile have offered their cars for the MotheTs' parade to be held in Oregon City Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The parade starts promptly at 2(30, and a patriotic pro gram will follow at the Liberty Tem ple. Among those donating cars Wednesday morning were L. Adams, McFarland Auto Co., Mayor Hackett, M. D. Latourette', W. B. Cook, Wil liam Hammond, R. L. Holman, John Lewthwaite, E. E. Brodle, S. O. Dill man and Miller ft Parker. A number of other are to be heard from. Those desiring to assist in making this parade a memorable one, and wish ta donate the use of their automobiles may telephone the Liberty Temple, and the nama registered. There are a number of mothers and grandmothers, as well as great grandmothers desiring to appear In tLe parade to show respict to their boy soldiers in France, who are un able to march, and they will be pro vided with automobiles. A division wil be set aside for the wivia of the soldiers, and their children. George Bannon, of the Bannon & Company's store, announces he will present the motners and wives with, service flags to wear on their sleeves during the parade, and these may be ; secured by calling at the store. Clackamas county is to be well represented in the parade. Canby is to be largely represented, as also is Molalla, West Linn, Willamette and Gladstone. It is probable that Mil waukte Is to have a iarge delegation. A number of features are to be Introduced during the parade. A large number of the women and young ' ladies are ' to sing patriotic songs when marching down Main street. Among the feature will be the singing of a quartet composed of Maude Lageson, Miss Naomi Ann strong, Miss Flossie Blackburn and Miss Mabl Morgan, four of the patriotic young ladies of Oregon City, I several of whom have brothers in the I service. A second parade is to be given in the evening, this to start also at Thirteenth and Main street, and is in charge of Miss .Dolly Pratt, chair man, Miss Alberta Dunn, Miss Merle Keck, Miss Hazel Farr and Miss Rose Justin. In the evening parade the Home Guards will march, and there will be automobiles decorated and a number of pleasing features, that are to be surprises. Following the evening parade, these young women have arranged a" pro gram to be given at the Liberty Temple. Business houses are to be decorated with national colors for this day, and Walsh, who is a native of Ireland was captured as a slacker suspect, asthe re8idence8 along the march hp had been hiding in the groves be yond Oswego tor several days prior to his capture. He is 38 years of age and had no registration card. He finally confessed Monday morning that he had run away from Cedro Wooley, a few weeks ago, but did not give, the officials any clue as to why he had been confined at that place. He was apparently rational, and it would not be surprising to learn that he ig a man badly wanted by govern ment officials. Deputy Latourette took the matber up at once witn Clarence Keames, special prosecutor at Seattle, who is looking up the man's recod at the Washington institution. in, and nearly every evening the Mrs. Edith Landsdowmev Miss Jessie equally long lines go out.

And they are so fine, these big, tall boys of ours; they arouse everyone's admiration; they are Such splendid physical specimens, and then to see them afterwards peg legging painfully down the street, humping along on crutches, or leaning against a tree to rest, Is heart breaking. For myself I am well, and as happy as one could be. I am living in a fine French family; they have lost one son in the war and three weeks ago the other disappeared, at Plemont where the Germans entirely surrounded the 4th French Cuirassiers and cut them off from their main army. The whole uuuuuou was captured, we ao not know whether dead or alive; no one remained to tell the story. The moth er and father and sister rise at five each day and go to the church to pray, but as the days pass and there Is no news they get whiter and sadder and more drawn looking. We try to be gay and to keep them from thinking about it, but it is pretty hard. But this is just one family .the same story is repeated In practically every other family In this town, and when it is the lather who is gone leaving a moth er with four or five small children it still sadder. There were 450 American nurses dropped In on us today; they will not stay long but will be sent to hospitals all over France. We need nurses bad ly, and cannot understand why there are not more coming over. I am sleepy and shall stop; If there are questions than any of you would ask write them and I shall be glad to answer them. Many thanks for the money and clothe that have been sent, and here's hoping that more will be sent We will promise to use them as we think you wwuld wish. display the Stars and Stripes. Charles J.

His wife, however, didn't feel that such statements were the sort that a loving husband should make, so she filed suit for divorce Monday.
