U St Clair, who returned to Oregon City the first of the week, after a two year ab sence In the nary, has had many In teresting experiences white abroad. One of these trips was through the Panama Canal, and Mr. St, Clair says It is well worth the time to anyone to make the trip. Another trip he en Joyed waa through the Kiel Canal. Germany, which U also a wonderful piece of engineering wort During the war the Germans had the Russian prisoners care for the canal, and much was accomplished in beautifying this waterway by the prisoners. After arriving In Germany, Mr. St. Clair found a large majority of the German people in favor of the pres ent system of government, and were opposed to re-establishing the govern ment as conducted by the ex-kaiser, they apparently having a hatred for the kaiser. Mr. Sti Clair says there are still a large number of the Ger man people who have a hatred for the American people, although many of these are giving hospitality to the American sc-idlers and sailors station ed there. An Uustration to given by Mr. St. Clair of some of those people's actions towards the American sail ors recently. It was while a seaman was engaged in painting the stern of the torpedo boat destroyer, Lea, that he was atruck on the head by a loose gear on the deck, which had become detached from tha ship. The man was rendered unconscious and knock ed into the water. At the time of the accident there were fourteen stalwart Germans standing alongside the boat, who could have easily reached over from the wharf and saved the drown ing man or at least have called the at tention of one of the sentries of the boat, but Instead they stood on the wharf and; actually watched the man drown like a rat After the facts be came known there was intense feeling on board the Lea and other American seacraft in port, as the young man was one of the most popular boys on board, and the crews of the boats kept aloof from the Germans who visited the docks. In Germany there Is a scarcity of foodstuffs In the form of flour, lard, coffee, cocoa and sugar. There are practically none of these staples, and many of the people, who were formerly In comfortable circumstances, are now hungry. There are very few of the manufacturing establishments now in operation.- This is largely due to the scarcity of coal, as there has been a strike on. by the coal miners. There Is also a great scarcity of soap In Germany, and many are com pelled to do without this article, a sub stance being manufactured to take the place of soap, being made from a com pressed fire clay and containing a small amount of soda. This is being sold under the name of soap, and a sample of this was' brought home by Lieut-Commander St Clair. Owing to the scarcity of fats, soap is not being manufactured, and Mr. St Clair says if anyone would take In some soap, flour, sugar or coffee to Germany they could come home with half of Ger many (If they wanted It). Among the souvenirs brought back by Lieutenant Commander St Clair was a sawtooth bayonet of the type -carried by the Germans during the earlier part of the war, and if a pris oner was caught with one of these on bis person, he was immediately shot This bayonet was secured at Danzig. Many German people blame the kai ser for hardships they have been forc ed to undergo, and It Is believed by many Americans who have visited In some sections of that country that William will not again be tolerated as a ruler or even be allowed to have his presence In the country. Although there Is plenty of money among the people, there are very few foodstuffs on hand to purchase with this money, and the German people seem to real ize that they must depend upon the American people to keep them sup plied with the necessities. Mr. St. Clair states this as one of the main reasons some of the German people are welcoming the American soldiers, " There being a shortage of leather, consequently shoes are commencing to become a luxury, and many are com pelled to wear wooden ones. If a The Portland & Oregon City Ry. Co. wishes to an nounce that they have new equipment on their line, for handling both freight and passengers, between 22nd and Powell Streets East Portland, and Baker's Bridge.

Taper money Is being used exclus ively in Germany, and each district has its own species of money. This sometimes causes great confusion to the traveler. limit. -Commander St. Clair was In Brest, Fance. for three days, but was In Germany for about three weeks. He left Prunabuttel, Germany, June 9, this being the last German port where he was stationed, and is glad to be back in the good old U. S. A. again. LIEUT. C A U FIELD. REESIDENT Pi Ueutenant L. .

He was city engineer at Mount Vernon, Wash., when he ans wered his country's call.

OREGON CITY IS HOME FROM J IN FOREIGN Robert Fairfax Myers, son of Mr. and Mrs. 'Joseph Myers, has received his discharge from the service and re turned to his home in this city. Robert Myers left Oregon City two yeairs ago to enter the naval service, and was first stationed at San Diego, where he was a bugler, and then sent East, where he took, up the study of Wireless telegraphy at a university in Massachusetts. After completing his six months term he returned to Call fornia, and was later assigned to the Major Wheeler as a wireless operator, being later transferred to the Idaho, one of a crew of 1400 men. Many exciting experiences have been seen by the young seaman. One of the trips he made was to South America, where he had experienced with mosquitoes he will not forget It was while visiting a port Infested with mosquitoes that the ships cook was attacked by the pests. His face, when morning dawned, was swollen almost twice its size, and it was several days before he could perform his duies in the kitchen. The bos were hungry, and managed to assist in securing food for the table during the cooks illness. Myers says he never wants to get a glimpse of South America again, since his experiences with tb e"biting bugs." After traveling the ocean for almost two years, Myers arrived at New Vork in good health, although he had suffer ed severely from influenza and yel- low Jaundice while in the service. He received his honorable discharge at Bremqrton, Wash. SHERIFFS SALE OF Gl Notice of Sheriff's sale was posted In the store building formerly occupied by the E. H. Barrett store on Main street Tuesday afternoon, the action being taken by the Credit Service company, a corporation to which the Barrett company was heavily indebt ed at the time at which it closed Its doers. According to the notice of sale the stock and fixtures will be sold from the store building on August first next. Mr. Barrett will be remembered as having closed the doors of hie estab lishment several months ago at a time when he was ostensibly departing for a pleasure trip with his family into Canada. Soon after his departure, however, It developed that he was very heartily involved when he left for the sanctuary of Canadian terri tory. While operating the Barrett store here he engaged in a strictly cash bus iness, as far as his retail business was concerned; but strained his csedit to the breaking point in his purchases before finally closing his doors. Six-Day Week Is Ruled Not Valid SPOKANE, July 19.

Miss Tarbell is not an orator. She is not so sin gularly gifted as is Mr. Bryan in powers of rhetoric, but her analysis of scenes and incidents is keener and her aptitude for description is superior. Ida Tarbell never jumps at conclusions. She has long been noted in literary circles for her carefulness of preparation and her regard for facts. Her magazine stories of the Standard Oil operations astounded the American reading public for their research. Her best work is evidenced in her history of the great emancipa tor, and a study of this life of Lincoln is one of the most interesting and entertaining books that has come under our observation. It is fitting that such a woman, with the clearest of visions, should have been privileged to 3pend her time on the fighting fronts of France, and to return and tell the story. It is a wonderful tale, and she tells it well, un blemished and with the veiy essence of tiuth. Her fame will increase with the passing years. E Supt. of City Waterworks F. Mc- Causland met with a very painful ac cident Tuesday morning a the result of which he is carrying his left arm In bandages. A bucket of tar which he was having melted for the purpose of making some small repairs at Ely- vflle caught fire and In an attempt to remove the bucket from the fire over which it was heating the bucket up set, spilling its contents on Mr. Mc Causland's arm. . Owing to his Inability to stcure grease of any nature to apply to the wounded member and thus counter act the effects of the hot tar Mr. Mc Causland experienced considerable difficulty In removing the tar after It had become cooled. In speaking of the Incident Wednea- uay Mr. McCausland remarked: ' dont know how many different kinds of tar there are, but If the tar they use in making county roads- sticks half as tight as the kind I got on my arm the roads ought to wear forever."

We have no trouble requir ing no repairing or duplicate parts and did not have the truck In the shop unUl we sent it In to have the new tires put on. We consider this a wonderful record and evidence of the highest standard of design, material and workmanship, to outwear a set of solid tires over rough roads, without having any repairing to the mechanical parts of the truck. The truck has been handled by one of our former teamsters, without truck experience, and he worked the truck over the rough roads that one will find mostly In our section.
