P
BY LIEUT ST. CLAIR
lieut-Commander C. 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

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.

Not even excepting the Peerless One, the real star
of the Chautauqua session at Gladstone Park was Miss
Ida Tarbell, who lectured there Thursday. 1 hr ability
to portray so graphically what she has 6een overseas,
backed by her fundamental knowledge, makes her easily
the most attractive personality on the Chautauqua plat
form. 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.

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."

REPORT OF W. C NORR1S CO.
Here Is the report of the W. C. Norrls Motor Sales Company, of Talsa, Okla
homa, on the three trucks shown above, and covering- their experience with
motor trucks In general and OART Tracks In particular.
"We have Just closed the deal
County for three OART 314-ton trucks. We eompeted with five other makes,
and outpulled them all. The performance of the trucks we frankly state Is mar
velous. The "H" and "HT7," 2 and Ity-ton models with four speed transmission
outpull, overpower and outclass everything In their rated capacity; while the
8 -ton Is even greater In pulling power and load carrying capacity. We con
sider your worm drive, semi-floating Sbelden Axle as the only safe and sure
form of construction for hard usage and to withstand the strain and abuse to
which a truck Is subjected In the oil fields and kindred lines of work. Our ob
servation, experience and knowledge of actual results In meeting oil field re
quirements, with heavy loads and no
can be relied upon In every Instance and will deliver a long life of service at a
nominal upkeep and low cost of operation. We are for the OART TRUCKS
strong and shall concentrate our future efforts exclusively on the OART line.
Note: The W. C. Norrls Motor Sales Company are a million dollar concern,
and one of the largest In Oklahoma. After several years' experience with
other lines of trucks, they have dropped them all and rely exclusively on QART
Trucks for heavy duty oil field Work and for all purpose usage.
There is a Gary Truck for every purpose, one to five-ton sizes. AH of the highest quality of design and construction
Certainty of Service is our slogan, and as WEST COAST FACTORY AGENCY we shall always be prepared to supply any
