Tuesday morning when a letter ar
rived from Mrs. Trulllnger's brother,
John W. McCubbln. In France, and
who has not been heard from since
September. It was like hearing from
the dead, they said, "for we had given
him up for dead, as he had written
often after going over to France until
September when all word of him ceas
ed." (
In a letter that ha! just reached
Oregon City, McCubbln says he has
been on the go most of the time, even
after the armistice had been signed
He Is with Company, 101st Infantry,
2Gth Division. He has been In some
of the largest battles In Franca, among
these being Chateau-Thierry and Ar
gonne Forest, and he has been over
the top many times, and has come
out without a scratch.
Since arriving in France McCubbln
hns been on the firing line, except for
nine days, when the company was glv
en a rest, which they were badly In
need of.
McCubbln Is the son of Mrs. Laura
Mi-Cubbln, of Logan, and was only sta
tioned at Camp Lewis for one week,
where he had gone to the training
camp, when he was sent over to
France. This was in November, 1917
The letter received was dated No
vember 26.
PAVING ISSUE
OF WEST SIDE
IS DISCUSSED
The "Twelve Disciples of Road Ef
flctoney" which conducted the cam
paign in Clackamas county for the
$6,000,000 road bond act in 1917, was
restored to action Tuesday when it
was aske-d by the Live Wires of the
Commercial club- to follow up the ac
tiou taken at the county budget meet
lng In December to bring about the
grading of the Pacific Highway be
tween Oregon City and Portland on
the west side Willamette river. The
taxpayers of the county at the bud
get meating authorized the expendi
ture of $35,000 to grade the highway,
with the understanding that the State
Highway commission had agreed to
pave the road whenever the county
made the grade according to the sur
veys now ou file.
Some objection has been registered
against the route on the ground that
the railroad grade crossings should be
eliminated and County Surveyor H. H
Johnson is expected to go ovef the
ground to ascertain if minor altera
tions in the survey can be made. The
county court and Roadmaster Roots
have never been enthusiastic over the
Improvement of the West Side High
way, though the offer of the State
Highway Commission to do the paving
without cost to the county has been
of long standing, with the provision
that the county would prepare the
road for the pavement. It will be the
purpose of. the committee to induce.
the co-jnty court to proceed with the
work at the earliest possible date, as
It was reported at the Live Wires
luncheon Tuesday that the highway
commission had renewed Its offer to
complete the work on the Pacific
Highway through Clackamas county
this year, providing Clackamas county
would do its part.

VERY
FIRST
The first meeting of tho new city
Cornell was call Wmlteaday night
when the following were present:
Mayor Holman, Councilmen Albright,
Green, Kelly, Woodward, Tobtn,
Kreuger, Scott and Recorder Loder.
Mayor Holman made an address to
the council and much gocd feeling
was manifested by the members.
The bills against the city were read
and passed and the report of the fi
nance committee was accepted. Bills
amounting to $747.42, which bad not
been turned In to the old council were
allowed. These censlsted ui lights.
printing, auditing of the book, coat
fcr the library, etc.
A petition for a light at the foot of
Center street wa submitted and many
residents of that section signed this.
The council was in favor of hH Im-
Iicvement aa this is a very dark
place and the walks are in bad con
dition there. The petition wa s bra it
ted to the street committee.
The petition to change the city char
ter and lower the license for the op
eration of jitney In Oregon City wa
also referred to the street committee
to be brought np at the next meeting
of the council.
The W. C. T. U. asked the council
to have the curfew law enforced and
the mayor promised to refer this to
the chief of police. This organization
also asked that some orach needed
improvements be made to the public
lavatory in the way of painting the
walls to remove the writing on these.
This will be referred to the health
committee.
It had been suggested that tha
dates to collect garbage be changed
as the present dates were so near the
first of the month that many people
did not get their garbage out in time.
The street committee was given pow
er to act on this.
It waa suggested at the meeting
that when a light In the city waa dis
covered to be out this be resorted to
the police and by so doing the city
would get the rebate allowed for this.
Considerable discussion resulted
over tho suggestion that the city dis
pose of some ot its property that they
have been paying taxes on and save
this money. This property came to
the city through delinquent taxes and
other sources .
On motion of .Councilman Tobin the
council adjourned.

Mr. Petty of this , city makes it a
point to see that a great many needy
children of this county are remember
ed at Christmas time and no exception
was made this year when he made the
day merry for the children at the St.
Agnes Baby Home.
The story of this appeared in the
Morning Enterprise and the Oregonlan
and noted by the Washington Man.
The latter also makes it a point to
do the same kind ot good work that
the local man does and when he notic
ed the stories he wrote to the latter
and sent a clipping from a Washing
ton paper of the work he did.
The names are the same and both
men do the same big-hearted work
at the same time and many children
are made happy by this that would
otherwise have a less merry Christ
