pota wus requisitioned for the first
time Monday afternoon, when P. C.
Sonnasyn, self-confessed bond slacker
was given the ride of his life by a
bunch of husky mill workers, who
first tivatod the slacker's back to a
broad stripe of yellow pulnt.
Sonnasyn lives on Yonker's farm
near West Linn and works In the mill
In slack seasons, though this Is no
reason why he should be a slacker.
Ite Is reportod to have sold $2000
worth of wheat recently, hut told the
bond solicitors that the United States
meant nothing to him, which remark
entitled him to a free ride on the Li
berty pole, 15 feet long, painted red
white and blue, with strong handles
at tach end and "liberty" Inscribed
thereon.
Four o'clock Monday afternoon, as
shift changed, was the time set for
the operation and Sonnasyn was seiz
ed and lifted on tine pole, carried
across the locks as far as the mill
office, where he becged to be let off
and promised to subscribe for a bond
forthwith, which he did.
It Is said that Sonnasyn declined
to subscribe to the last Red Cross
drive, until a threshing crew refused
to thresh hi grain until he put up $5
for the cumpaign. His wife secured
a divorce from him recently.
Julias KraBnewskl, an employe of
the Hawley Palp & Paper Co., Is no
longer connected with that concern.
He would have been fired Monday,
hut ho did not stay on the job long
enough. Saturday night his follow
employes treated him to a cold water
bath, following his refusal to purchase
a Liberty bond, and Julius beat It for
parts unknown.

OS WEST STARTS
HOME TO BOOST
HIS CANDIDACY
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1. Former
Governor Oswald West, wrapped in
the (lag, and loud in his adoration of
the present federal administration Is
on his way to Oregon tonight to make
a stlftl fight for the senatorial toga,
now worn by Senator Charles L. Mc
Nary. Governor West, fresh from
France, comes bock with a suspicious
ly virulent love for the administration,
so new that It smells of varnish, and
a complete loss of memory so far as
his former plan of no campaign for
the senutorshlp is concerned.
Not only Is he anxious to make a
campaign, but apparently he is not
bound by the gentleman's agreement
of both parties that politics should be
suspended until the close of the fourth
Liberty Loan drive, which does not
terminate until late In October. Quot
ing copiously of foreign admiration
for President Wilson and breathing
patrotism In every sentence, the fpr-
mer governor of Oregon apparently
believes that destiny and the White
House both smile upon his candidacy,
and thnt by "waving Old Glory and
boosting the administration, he has
a chance to win. At least that seems
to be the verdict of he cumpaign man
agers of- boh parties, after reading
between the lines his statement made
up on his arrival In Washington.
MOTOR JRUCK
OVERTURNED AND
DRIVER INJURED
J. N. Slavens sustained a fractured
leg and Robert Welch some scratches

turning with a truck load of tomatoes.
Just out of New Era they met an auto
mobile and were blinded by Its lights
an.l the heavy truck went off the pave
ment. Slaven's right leg was frac
tured in two plactee above the ankle.
He waa brought to the Oregon City
hospital where the bones were set.
Dr. Strickland, county health officer,
has been asked by Stato Health Offi
cer Holt to request local physicians
(0 report promptly any cases of Influ
enza occurring in Clackamas county.
The surgeon-general of the army has;
asked that health officers of the state
wire immediately upon diagnosis be
ing made all cases of Influenza, that
steps may be taken to prevent epi-
demlos which would materially ham
per war production work. Outbreaks
of Influenza have seriously affected
a number of er.Btern cantonments.

Organization of a community war
labor board to act for Oregon City
and vicinity was blocked Thursday
night, when representatives of em
ployers and workers were unable to
agree as to the personnel of the
board at a meeting held in the Com
mercial club parlors.
From the names submitted to the
state corporation, composed of W. F
Smith, chairman ,F. A. Douty and Otto
Hartwig, will be chosen a board of
seven members, three representing
the woraers, three representing the
employers and one representing the
United States government, tne latter
to receive a salary of $1 per year.
Mr. Douty and Mr. Hcrtwlg,. the
latter president of the State Federa
tion of Labor, came up from Portland
and the 'conference was 'attended by
many of the paper and woolen mill
workers and memfiers of the local
unions, as well as by W. P. Hawley,
president of the Hawley Pulp and
Paper CO., and W. P. Hawley, Jr., A.
R. Jacobs, president of the Oregon
City Manufacturing Co.. and E. Ken
neta Stanton, office manager of the
Crown Willamette Paper Co.
The board will exercise triple fun
ctions, the first being to make a sur
vey of labor for war industries, with
the idea of assisting essential indus
tries; the second, to distribute labor
.among war industries, transferring
labor from non-essential to essential
industries, when necessary, and the
third, to settle- labor disputes.
It is proposed to have two men on
the board, one representing the work
ers and one representing the employ
ers. The state organization committee,
after the failure of the conference to
agree on the representatives of the
board, announced that it would take
the matter Into its own hands and
would announce the personnel of the
board within a few days.

OF LAST FRIDAY
- The fires that have been raging in
the vicinity of Beaver Creek, High

have rabsided, and all fear of their
further spreading is past, though a

home from burning and other build
ings on the place. The fire raged
fiercely around the Fred Kamrath
dairy farm. The home of Mrs. M.
Jones had a narow escape, and had it
not been for the violent fighting of
men and womeh of that section, this
home and others would have been to
tally destroyed with other buildings
on the farms.
William Daniels, one of the fire
fighters, had a narow escape, when he
was hemmed in by the raging flames,
and had a difficult time in fighting his
way out of the fire. Robert B. Beatie
formely sheriff of Clackamas county,
whose large farm is located in the
Beaver Creek section, had to work
hard to save his home and buildings
on his farm.

bRAKEMAK
OlUIJAL Id
CONFUSED
William Bailey, a brakeman on the
Molalla branch of the Southern Paci
fic was instantly killed Wednesday
afternoon when he fell from a freight
car at Canby and was cut in twain.
He was a resident of Molalla, aged
40 years, and leaves a family.
Bailey switched three freight cars
from the Lucke stub at Canby onto
the main line, and then took another
engine and started to spot a single
car from the main line to the switch,
backing in on the stub. The engineer
having the three cars in charge evi
dently believing Bailey had signaled
him to switch back on the stub, left
the main line and his engine crashed
into the lone freight car, knocked
Bailey off the car, and the unfortu
nate man fell between the freight car
and the engine attached.
Coroner E. L. Johnson went to Can
by and made an investigation of the
case and arranged for (So inquest to
be held this morning at 10 o'clock.

CLOCKS GO BACK
ON OCTOBER 27
FOR ONE HOUR
Daylight saving continues for ano
ther four weeks, the clocks to be tur
ned back at 2 A. M. Sunday morning,
October 27, under the provision made
last spring by congress. At that time
sunset and sunrise will be an hour
earlier and the somnolent will he
given another hour of sleep in the
morning. An impression that . the
clocks were to be turned back October
1 is erroneous.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. Senti
ment is growing among members of
congress in favor of keeping the
clocks "an hour ahead" for at least
the duration of the war. Chairman
Sims of the house interstate commerce
committee announced Saturday that
he proposed to offer an amendment
to the present day-light saviiig law,
of which Senator Calder of New York
was the author, to keep the country's
clocks turntcd an hour forward, as
they now are, -until peace is declared.
PASTOR RUSSELL
AUTHOR OF BOOK
FLUNG AT WIFE
Pastors Russet's "Unfinished Mys
tery," may be a harmless little treat
ise of pacifistlc tendencies, but it pro
ved a dangerous wteapon in the hands
of an Unbeliever Saturday evening.
During a domestic battle between C.
F. Cottrell and his wife, Mrs. Carrie
Cottrell, at their home near Willam
ette, the husband picked up the much
discussed treatise from the library
table and hurled, it pointblank at his
wife. The volume struck Mrs. Cot
trel a stinging blow on thie left temple
and Inflicted quite a cut, which bhed
profusely. Overcomq by the impel
ling force of the argument, the wife
came tq Oregon City and; reported the
matter to Sheriff Wilson., .
The battle, it ceems, occurred over
financial matters. Both parties told
their stories to Judge Seiwrs and
Deputy District Attorney Tom Burke
Monday morning, and pending a tern
pory armistice in order to adjust their
domestic difficulties. Cottrell was pla
ce! under bonds to keep the peace.
He told the officials he did not think
the book was "bound in armor. plate"
when he hurled it at his wife. Cot
trell claims his wife leans toward the
Russellfo sect, but he does not favor
that particular branch of worshippers
