Needs a New Home
Much amusement was created at

was recently married.
William (Hill) Cook, who has batch
ed with Noe for some time at Glad
stone, was the plaintiff in the case
and he swore out a complaint and
Sheriff Wilson made the "arrest."
Cook alleged that tha marriage of
Noe cast a slur on his cooking and It
looked like Noe was not satisfied with
It. Still another complaint was that
Noe neglected to inform him of the
pp roach lug marriage and he was
very much surprised. The complaint
was made out by District Attorney
Gilbert L. Hedges and everyone at the
court house participated In the Joke.
Cook and Noe have batched at the
Gladstone home for some time and
Bill was always the cook and many a
fine banquet he has set to their many
friends on different occasions. Ile
says he does not blame Noe for get
ting married but he feels that he has
een left out in the cold and is now
looking for a new home although he
has been Invited to remain with the
happy bride and groom.

ent!i.i;if:d over the Joke that he got
ii fy along a poetical Hue with the
i lowing results:

A wedding was solemnized In Ore
gon City on Sunday afternoon, Janu
ary 19, 1919, the culmination of a pret
ty little romance, participated in by
one of Uncle Sam's boys, and a for
mer Oregon City young woman. The
bride Is Miss Elsie Vowles, born in
London, coming to Oregon City fouj
yearn ago from England, having travel
ed extensively through Europe be
fore taking up her residence In Clack
araas county. The bridegroom is Will
lam F. Stnggs of Carthage, Missouri
who was with the spruce division sta
tioned at Vancouver Barracks. The
young couple had met but twice, and
the courtship has been done mostly
by correspondence, as the bride has
been spending the past three months
with her brother in California.
The wedding, -which has been kept
a secret,- was announced Saturday
morning, and came as a complete sur
prise to the friends of the young cou
ple. The marriage ceremony was per
formed at 4 o'clock In the St. Paul's
Episcopal church, with Rev. C. H. L.
Chandler, rector, officiating. The
bride is a member of the church. She
was attired in an attractive traveling
suit and hat to match.
The bride Is a niece of Lady Coch
ran of Iondon, and she expects to be
her guest In the near future. She made
her home in Clackamas county for
four years, except for the time she
spent In California. While here she
resided with her brother, Reg Vowles
who is in the Canadian Army, with
tht First Canadian Reserve Battalion.
William Staggs, the bridegroom, is
a well known business man of Carth
age, Missouri, and is a nephew of Mr.
nnd Mrs. J. Staggs of Twilight.
After visiting at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Staggs at Twilight the young
couple will leave this afternoon for
their future home at Carthage, Miss
ouri.
Little Kathryn Barry, daughter of
Louis Barry of Greenpotnt, was a
ploasing hostess at the home of her
aunt, Mrs. Lloyd Bernier of Green-
point, last Saturday. The affair was in
honor of the little girl's seventh birth
day anniversary, her little friends be
ing invited in to spend the afternoon.
The time was devoted to games,
but one of the features that pleased
the little ones, was the "spread". The
table was prettily decorated for the
occasion, the color scheme corre
sponding to that of tha living and din
tag rooms, pink and green. The table
was centered with tho big white cake
jrettily ornamented with tiny pins,
candles, and each piece was marked
with a tiny pink basket filled with
pink candles. Festoons of pink satin
ribbons extended from the electroliers
to the table, and the shades were of
pink crepe paper. With the lighted
candles on the cake and the pink
shaded electric lights and seated
around the table were the bright
eyed and happy children this made
r most attractive sight.
Mrs. Bernier was assisted in enter
taining tha tots by Mm. Charles W.

Ellis Donovan, who is rooming at
the Electric Annex on Sixth and Main
streets, met with an accident Monday
afternoon that he will not care to re
peat. Donovan had lost his key and be
lieved he could make his way to his
room from the bath room by stepping
across the skylight of the J. C. Penny
store below. Donovan was not as sure
footed as he though for the next
thing be knew he was in the office of
Dr. A. C. Stewart on the opposite side
of the street, where he had been car
ried, and as a result of the fall through
the skylight to the floor below. He is
suffering from many bruises and a bad
gash on his head.
It was during the busy time of the
Penny store when Donovan made his
entrance by way of the celling. Glass
flew in all directions, and Donovan, in
the center of it, and as the employes
rushed to his assistance they found
the young man unconscious and lying
In a pool of blood, from the gash In
his head.
Donovan recently arrived In Oregon
City from Lebanon, and Is employed
In the paper mills.
The young man is recovering from
the effects of the fall, and he will be
able to resume his position in a few
days.

So they went to the Grand Lodge of
the Elks. And the Elks, who had
been hearing from their local lodges,
greeted them with enthuslalsm. In
more than fifty cities the Elks took
complete charge of that drive no
tably In Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kan
sas City, and St. Louis.
They paraded the streets; they got
tip circuses. They left the Salvation
Army people, who really had enough
to do with their regular work, free,
and guaranteed the money.
'They saw us through," says Col
onel W. A. Mclntyre, who is at the
head of the army's New York office.
"We're still a little dazed by all they
did for us. We never could have got
the money without them. We couldn't
ask them for anything they didn't give
us. Usually we didn't have a chance
to ask. They took hold of our drive
magnificently. There aren't words
strong enough in praise of the Elks.
'They're a wonderful lot It's not
quite a new thing for them to help
us. I remember, once, years ago, they
held their Grand Lodge In Buffalo.
And at the same time we were having
festival and trying to raise some
money. We had a hnrdy-gurdy, among
other things. Well, a lot of those Elks
Just took that hurdy-gurdy away from
us. They kept It going for three days
and night! They charged a dollar a
ride, and every Elk must have ridden
dozen times. They went all over
town in it We'd never seen as much
money as they handed over to us."
It isn't a new thing for the Elks to
turn In and help in an emergency,
either. Back in 1906, when the news
of the disaster in San Francisco was
flashed over the wires, "Bobb" Brown
of Louisville, was Grand Exalted Rul
er of the order. He caught the first
train for Chicago .wiring Fred Robin
son, then as now grand secretary, to

Thursday he alleges cruel and inhu

deserted him, taking the child of the

for $1,270 and $100 attorney's fees in

sand, and Brown beat all records in
reaching the coast.
More money, in cash, kept coming
to him. He stayed out there for weeks,
and for a time the Elks were the only
people who had any cash at all tor re
lief work the banks being closed.
Brown tell one story of that time.
He and a lot of other relief workers,
went Into a little town on the penin
sula that had been left an utter wreck.
Brown spoke last at a meeting that
wa organized.
"The others passed around slips on
which people could write down what
they needed," Brown says. "It was
fine and it was all they could do. But
when It was my turn I opened a
satchel I had and slapped down five
thousand dollars in bills.
"'There's what the Elks can do,
Mr. Mayor!' I said. 'We happen to
have the cash. Go to it!' "
The Elks contributed and sent in
four hundred carloads of food to San
Francisco. And they raised so much
money that Brown couldn't spend it,
and out of the surplus a fund was es
tablished that the Elks have used ever
since to give quick relief In case of
disaster.
They helped in the game way at the
time of the Dayton floods In 1913, and
after the forest fires in Minnesota
last autumn.
And at Christmas no. soldier's chil
dren lacked Christmas cheer. House-
to-house Investigations by the local
lodges of the Elks took care of that
Christmas ha been a great Elk time
always. Every lodge has sent mem
bers around, hunting up kids 8anta
Claus was pretty sure to overlook.
And on Christina morning there'd be
a basket, with dolls and sleds and
oranges and candy. After Christmas
there would be, as a rule, too, mora
permanent help something to Insure
the future. But the Elks think kids
ought to have a good time Christmas,
and hang the expense!
Don't yon rather like these Elks?

on a boat house had a narrow es
cape. His little house was moored near
the mouth of the Abernethy creek,
when the swift current of tha Willam
