discussed section by section by mem
liera of the council nml all points

their cars near the Intersection of
Muln ami Seventh streets. This Dell-
Hon was signed by the business men

of the cars this privilege for 80 days
and promised to meet with the driv

There was great rejoicing In a
number of Oregon City home Mon
day when word came to the effect
that the (eighteenth Engineers' Hall
way Company, had sailed from
France April 18 and was on It way
to New York, and would probably ar
rive there about May 1.
There are quite a number of young
men, sons ot prominent families,
of tho organization, and their
return has been looked forward to for
some time.
Among the young men who are
now on their way home and who are
member ot the eighteenth, are Al
bert and Kdwln Meade, twin son of
Mr. and Mrs. Mead, William Folgor,
formerly with tho Jones Drug Com
pany, Alfred Digger,. son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. J. Hlgger, Karl Hutchinson,
son of Mr, Ida Hutchinson, Roy
Stafford, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. It.
Stafford of Mount Pleasant, Wallace
McCord, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. W.
McCord. Private L. II. Rubicon, El
bert (hurman, who left with tha
Eighteenth Engineer, and later was
transferred to tho Star and Stripes,
la not known whether to have sailed
or not with his former company. He
Is the son of T. L. Charman of this
city.' Make Ilowland, son of Profes
sor and Mr. John Ilowland of this
city, Is also with tho Eighteenth En
glnoors.
It la hoped by many here that tbo
boy will arrive home in time to at
tend tho big victory ball to bo given
by some of tho young women of Ore
gon city, when ome of tho members
of the Homo Guard will also act as
a reception committee. This affair Is
scheduled for Saturday night. May 3,
and Is to bo given In honor of the
Clackamas county boys returning
from tho service. If the boys arrive
too late a similar bull will probably
be held In their honor as well as
others returning at a later date. The
Clackamas county boys have not
been forgotten from the Interest that
Is manifested over the coming vic
tory ball.
Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Rigger recolved
a telegram from James T. Twohy, ot
Twohy Brothers, Contractors, of
Soattlo, Monday morning, which was
a copy of a cablegram ho received
from Carl Holman, who Is with the
company, saying the entire company
had loft Franco, and wos on tho Bat
tleship Texas bound for home, These
young men will be mustered out ot
service at Camp Lewis, and It Is
thought they will pass through Port
land about tho first ot May for that
camp. Many friends and relatives
are planning to go to Portland to
wolcome them to that city.
T. B. Hayiuirst, who has been local
manager of the Homo telephone com
tnr the nast ten years, has been
appointed local manager oi me a
clflo Telephone company, tho Homo
Telophone company now belnfe com
bined with that company. Mr Hay
lmrst commenced his new duties a
lew days apo.
While manager ot tho Homo Tele
phono company Mr. Hayhurst ha
made many friends tor that company
and added many subscribers, both In
this city, and on the rural routes
'or the present the former headquar
ters of Ihe Home Telephone com
pany will remain In the AndroBon
Imildlng.
t
On June 3, or in about six weeks, the people of Ore
gon will vote on a number of constitutional amend
ments and measures. One of these measures carries a
bond issue of $5,000,000, known as the Reconstruction
Bonding Bill. S
Perusal of the several sections of this measure
shows that of this vast sum, $2,000,000 is to be used for
reclamation of lands; $647,500 is to be used for promot
ing land settlement, and the remainder, or $2,352,500 is
to go into public buildings, as follows :
$500,000 for a new penitentiary.
$350,000 for a state reconstruction hospital at Port
land. ;
$500,000 for new buildings at Corvallis for the
Agricultural College.
$500,000 for new buildings at Eugene for the Uni
versity of Oregon.
$100,000 for new buildings at Monmouth for the
State Normal School.
$150,000 for new buildings at Pendleton, for the
Insane Hospital.
$ 1 87,500 for new armories.at Astoria, Baker, Bend,
La Grande and Medford.
$25,000 for new buildings at Roseburg for the Sol
diers Home.
$20,000 for the completion of an armory at Marsh
field. $20,000 for a hospital at Salem for the feeble-minded
institution.
Is it an equitable proposition to ask the people of the
state to swallow a five-million dollar bond issue, with no
provision for the payment of the interest nor the retire
ment of the principal except through the media of gener
al taxation?
Is it fair to put it up to Mr. Average Voter to sanc
tion such an enormous expenditure of public funds in a
blanket measure?
Why was this measure not submitted in units, so
that the vote might express his approval or disapproval
upon each of the 12 units, ranging from, $20,000 to
$2,000,000?
Thirteen cities are interested in the passage of this
measure from the standpoint of having buildings erected
in their own communities. . , '
Thank God, Oregon City is not one of them and
may vote independently.

WASHINGTON. April 17. The sys
tem of military jurisprudence is de
signed to produce an efficient, de
pendable fighting array, not to do ex
act justice to individual soldiers, ac
cording to the views vigorously pre
sented toflay to the committee of the
American Bar association by army of
ficers of field experience, including
Major Major-General Edwin F. Glenn,
organizer and commander of tho 83d
division, now in command of Camp
Sherman. ,
In attaining that objective, the of
ficers contended, tne present machin
ery tor enforcing military discipline
had proved both efficient and talr,
the final product of the system close
ly approximating justice to the indi
vidual in addition to producing what
General Glenn described as the best
disciplined army in France.
Attorney Gilbert L. Hedges receiv
ed word from Washington, D C,
Monday that the cse of Juliu Wil
bur will be heard before the Supremo
court of the United State this fall.
The case was to have been beard
April 25, but as Mr. Hedge could not
reach the capltol by that time, he
wired to have the case postponed nn
tiy May 1, but according to the tele
gram received Monday that court
will not hear cases after May 1.
Wilbur was arrested two yean ago
and charged with the possession and
sale of liquor at Milwaukle at the old
Friars' club. He was tried beforo 0c
local court and found guilty, after
which he appealed to the state su
preme court, where the conviction
was confirmed. Ho Was defended by
tho late Senator Charles W. Fulton,
and prosecuted by Attorney Gilbert
L. Hedges.
After this trial Wilbur appealed the
case to the United States Supreme
Court through his attorney, E. W.
Brazell, now In France In the Unit
ed States service.
This case has attracted more than
local attention at is Involves the
heart of the Oregon dry law and sev
eral other states have adopted the
same law. The section of the state
constitution affected is No. 33, per
mitting an Indictment to be drawn
without the kind of liquor named or
the name of the party purchasing it,
or the name ot the accusing witness.
Mr. Hedges was prepared to make
the trip to Washington and will go
when the case comes up to argue it
before the Supreme Court.

OREGON CITY
BOY REPORTED
KILLED IN ACTION
AT ESTACADA TUESDAY
The safe ot the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company at Estacada,
was blown open early Tuesday morn
ing and robbed of the contents. The
robbers were, evidently experienced
men in the game for they made a
clean job ot it and did not awaken
residents living near by.
The robbers secured about $100 in
cash, $150 in Liberty bonds belong
ing to the agent and nearly $3i)0 In
blank travellers' checks from the
safe. It is thought that the work was
done at 3:40 as that was the time the
clock In the station stopped, probab
ly from the jar ot the explosion.
Sheriff Wilson and Deputy Hughes
were on the ground soon after being
notified and spent the entire day
there but did not get any clue to the
identity of the robbers.

known residents of Oregon City, re
ceived a telegram from the , govern
ment Saturday announcing ihe death
of their son, Henry G. Schwoch, an
Oregon City boy, who was killed In
action October 5, 1918.
Every effort has been made to lo
cate tho young man since last fall.
The last word received from him was
in September, 1918, and since that
time the letters have commenced to
return to the anxious parents and
other relatives of this city and in
Portland. A similar telegram was re
ceived from the government last
December saying the young man was'
missing in action. The parents did
not give up until the telegram arriv
ed saying he was killed, and the date
ot his death was not determined.
Fred Schwoch was born in Wiscon
sin, December 2, 1891, and entered
tho service June 27, 1918, and left
soon after tor overseas service. He
had many friends, and was popular
with the men of his company.
Only one letter was received by
the parents after tho arrival of their
son in France, and this was a brief
note saying he had arrived safely
overseas, and was in the best of
health. Many letters have gone to
him but none since that time have
arrived.
The young man Is survived by his
parents, and two brothers, W. T.
Schwoch, a sister, Miss Gertrude
Schwoch, of this city, and Emll
Schwoch, of Portland.

With tho purpose of solving the
housing problem for Oregon City, a
committee, consisting of A. R. Jac-
rys, A A. Price, Willard P. Hawley,
Jr., and Lloyd Riches, was appointed
Tuesday to formulate and present a
plan tor the consideration and ap
proval of the Live Wires of the Com
mercial Club. The committee will get
Into action at once and will report
next Tuesday evening.
ii was announced luesaay inai ine
Oregon City woolen .mills faces the
shortage of labor in its garment fac
tory to the extent that unless some
thing is done to relieve the condition
here, the concern may have to con
struct an auxiliary factory at Port
land, where the labor problem is not
so acute. The garment factory now
furnishes employment for about 200
people, men and women, and the na
tional advertising campaign under
taken several months ago has
brought about such an influx ot busi
ness that it will be necessary to se
cure additional help, which is not
obtainable here because of the lack
of housing facilities. The mill is rap
idly developping a large business,
and the business men of Oregon City
propose to cooperate In a plan to
make possible the recentlon and
growth of the factory at this point,
with the increase of Oregon's popu
lation in mind.
