She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Hamilton, of Portland, has taught school in Forest Grove and Milwaukie, A ROAD By M. Editor; 1 read the official Issue of "The Hummer," I heard of the Stark weather mud throwing speech on his own dung hill and I have heard of the big things the Patent Paving people are going to do against the bond Is-1 sue. With all this confusion on my mind 1 retired to my warm bed and during the course of the night I had the fol lowing dream: The patent paving people don't like the proposed bond Issue because they can't get their hooks on the money. Thy hired Tom Roots, canned road- master In Clackamas county, to be tholr official paving healer to buck the bonds, They get the first hand assist ance of John Mann, Commissioner, of Portland, The Warren Construction Company rent the top floor of the Journal building so through them they get the Oregon Journal. With this lineup they have a par ley and all smoke & pipe of peace and over the tobacco jar and under a bot tle of grape juice tbey begin to scheme. The outcome of their efforts are as follows: Harvey Starkweather, who married wealth was taken Into their surroundings and offered the support of the construction companies, the patent pavement companies and the Democratic gun. The Oregon Journal, for a high office. Poor Old Harvey, who has political ambitions and who has been running for office every since Heck was a pup, fell for the dope. Then the big guns of the meeting began offering plums to other men of the county in order to get them In the band wagon. But, lo and behold, ao one would fall but Dedman County Commissioner and Vedder was told that the bunch would put the skids under Calavan and give Vedder the office of County School Superin tendent Then they looked around for a county judge and that was offered to Harvey Cross, but Harvey refused to accept and line up with the crowd. So no one would take the judgeship and In order to fill up the ticket and make things appear "O. K." Tom Roots was offered the office and he accepted. The Patent Paving Com bine wanted to. play safe and wanted aome one to be judge that they bad the goods on. After all the offices were filled the offsprings were told to hold a meet ing of a picked crowd at Clackamas and start the wheels of the opposition to grinding. In order to keep control, the office prospects were unanimously elected by themselves to act Then they proceeded to Itch a thousand bucks from the poor taxpayers In the district, and Tom Roots was to get a and has a host of friends In these places besides in Portland, where she made her home for several years. Mr. Johnson, who has recently en tered business in Milwaukie, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, promin ent residents of that town. He was over seas tor 17 months, and was cap tain of the 147th Field Artillery. He was in some of the heaviest engage ments while serving his country. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are to be at home to their friends at Milwaukie. Mrs. H. A Berknian, formerly Miss Veda Williams, leaves Wednesday for Chicago, where her husband is man ager of the Electric Sales Company.) She will be at home to her friends this afternoon from 4 to 5 at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. G. Miller. Mrs. Berkman will be accompanied East by her little daughter, Barbara, and they are at present guests of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Keith, of Thirteenth and. Main Streets. They will spend the winter in Chiago. Miss Katherine Louise Kidder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Kid der, of this city, and Thomas C. Watts, xif Tacoma, surprised their rel atives and many friends on November 5, when they were quietly married by Rev. O. A. Green, pastor of the Bap tist "Church in, Seattle. The bride was attended by Mrs. H. G. Martin, and was handsomely gowned in pink silk with golden lace overdress. Joseph Giehard was the best man. Following the ceremony a wedding dinner was served, and the young couple proceeded to this city, where they are spending their honeymoon with Mrs. Watts' parents. They will leave for their home at Seattle this afternoon. Mrs. Watts is a charming young woman, and is well known here and at Willamette, having attended the Willamette and Oregon City high schools. For eleven years she resi ded in Oregon City, after making her home at Pleasant View, Michigan, and In Washington. Several months ago she left for Seattle, where she has been employed in the office of the Sears-Roebuck Company.

Lee. bunch of money from "Somewhere In France." Then these men all dressed up with big corporation cigars poked Into their teeth stated out to corrupt the minds of the tax payers. Tom Roots goes to Oregon City and like an old woman gets confidential with his friends and tells the whole bill of fare. He tells them that he had seen Brownell and told him that Dlmlck had quit, he then goes to Dlmlck and tells him that Brownell had quit boost ing In favor of the bonds. These two loyal citizens got their heads together and compared notes. The outcome of the meeting was that Roots was branded as a pipe dreamer. Thon Roots goes to a local weekly news paper and tries to pull It, but be falls again, the newspaper telling him that they were on tho fence and were in the business to sell advertising and would sell to each side. Then he goes to bis banker and tells them that he had pulled another bank and wanted them to go Into the opposition. His banker told Tom "nothing doing. Tom theen goes down the street and tells another personal friend that he was personally getting $250 per month for busting the bond issue and that the patent paving companies were going to spill about $5,000, including the $1,000 the poor suckers to District No. 1 had chipped in, to knock the teeth out of the bond issue. As a last resource "Easy Money" Tom told that the "Real Road Boost ers," of which he Is chief organiser and chairman, bad three things to do. First Beat the bonds. Second Get the goat of the present county court, (because they canned him.) Third Clip the wings of Chris Schuebel. After all has failed Tom and Harvey arranged a meeting at Oak Grove and instead of arguing the merits of the bond Issue tbey pick out each man Interested In the welfare of the county and introduce him separately to the audience, appealing to the audience through the argument of graft, cor ruptness, dishonesty and selfishness. Just at this point in the dream the good people began ushering In the anniversary of the Armistice by ring ing bells, shooting guns and blowing whistles, and before I could finish the dream I awoke, and sat up In bed and thought, how fine it would he if the devil could get hold of that bunch and could take the mlnto bis Hell and tie a hammer to each one and brand them for the rest of time cs the official knockers for the patent pavement combination for the wrong they are trying to do the farmers of my sec tion of Clackamas county.

OLD CHECK OF SHERIFFS Check for Forty-nine Cents Is Being Held Before Being Presented for Payment Former Sheriff E. T. Mass who held office from 1910 to 1914, on Wednes day received a letter from Sears, Roe buck k Company of Seattle, concern ing a check he gave during his term of office. On March 29, 1911, the sheriff's of fice gave a check for a refund of over payment of taxes to Andrew P. Swan son of Hubbard, in the amount of $.49. For some reason the check was never signed. Just recently Mr. Swanson in ordering some goods from the Seattle house, after endorsing the check, remitted for his order, sending the old check in part payment. On arrival in Seattle during the course of business. Sears, Roebuck deposited the check in the Dexter National Bank at Seatle. That bank cleared the check through the Bank of Oregon City. They in turn pre sented the check to the First National Bank upon whom the check was drawn and then it was discovered that the check had never been signed, so payment was refused and the check was returned to Seattle. The Seatle firm wrote to Mr. Mass, send ing the check and asking him to re mit to cover the check.
