WOODPULPCWER ELIMINATES CARTING AT 1ST LI MILL A new system of conveying wood pulp at the West Linn mill of the Crown Willamette Paper Co. from the wet machines to the pulp piles is now in process of construction that will eliminate the present method of carting Uie pulp on hand-trucks. The pulp from the sixteen wet ma chines in Mill D will be set on mov able steel platforms and then convey ed over the scales to a loading plat form and from the platform to the piles west of the locks. The moving and transporting will be operated by a three-tower cable system coneisVng of a main tower back of Mill D to be 91 feet high and two auxiliary towers ewst of the locks, about 820 feet apart. The conveying platform will be car ried through the air and lowered to the pile in which the pulp is to be laid. A hoisting engine at the main tower will furnish the motive power and the whole work can be done by the engineer and six men on the Plo. The new system was designed by Draftsman Chris Crusius of the of fice force. DOCTOR LATOUREnE 111 TO DEUVEK LECTUKE IN CHICAGO Dr. Kenneth Latourette, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. C.

Dr Latourette is an instructor at the present time of Denison Univers ity of Grandville, Ohio, and the invi tation whch he has accepted from the Chicago institution is quite flat tering to the young man, who was a former Oregon City boy.

It is pure white, and measured 8 1-8 inches by 7 inches. This is not the only large egg the hen has laid for nearly every egg she is producing is al most as large. She is an exceptional ly good layer, and is only eight months old. The hen is being watch ed carefully by the proud owners and they are keeping "tab" on the number of monster eggs she is laying. E T!

Ryan, president of the Bank of Commerce and for eight years deputy state treasurer, will be a candidate for the Republican nom ination for state senator, according to current political reports that have gained circulation, though' he has made no official announcement. Judge Ryan was county Judge of Clackamas county for eight years. The possibility of his entrance into the race makes an Interesting situation, tor there is already one avowed can didate in the person of Representative C. Schuebel, who has served two terms in the house. It is not at all improbable that Grant B. Dimlck will be a candidate, and it is known that Former State Senator George C. Brownell has been for some time con sidering getting into the race. County Judge Anderson is still another pos sibility, according to courthouse gos sip. The possibility of a multiplicity of candidates for the Republican nomina tion has given the Democrats hope and if the Republicans succeed in getting into a wild scrap over the nomination, then the opposing party will make a strong effort to defeat the nominee at the November elec tion. O. D. Eby is generally mention ed as the man to turn the trick. Mr. Schuebel has at the present time a distinct advantage to the ex tent that he made his announcement last Spring and has lined up consider able support. His legislative exper ience is being used as an argument in his favor, as against the other prospective candidates, except Mr. Brownell. who has had many years of ?ervce in the legialatnre to his credit Schuebel is expected to make an ag ressive campaign, in the event that he has formidable opposition. and the people may reasonably look for ward to stirring features, in connec tion with the race for the nomination. Judge Ryan is said to have a strong following, though the support of what Is termed the conservative element will probably be divided between Dimlck and Ryan, Jf both are can didates. IS OF SHERIFF AT PRIMARY D. E. (Jack) Frost will be a can didate for the Republican nomination for sheriff at the primary election, according to an announcement made Saturday. Frost was an aspirant for the place two years ago and served as constable for the Oregon City distifct for several years. He is the proposer of the anti-cigarette meas ure that wilt be submitted to the people at the November election. Other probable candidates for sheriff are the incumbent W. J. Wil son, and E. L Johnson, the present county coroner. It is understood that Ernest T. Mass, who served two terms as sheriff, vtfll be unopposed for the Democratic nomination. The residence owned by F. F. White at Ninth and Jefferson streets has been purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Buol, of Tenth and Madson streets. The house has been' thorough ly renovated and has already been rented. Mr. and Mrs. Buol have also pur chased a residence owned by William Peters at Eleventh and Jefferson streets. These new purchasers have found that there is a big demand for vacant houses, and desirable families can be secured without trouble. They have recently sold their farm, and are put ting some of this money into city property. POPE LAUDS HOOVER ' ROME, Feb. 2. Herbert Hoover's work !n aiding children of war enti tles him "to a very high rank in the history of Christian charity and gives bim an unique place in the gratftude of peoples," says a letter addressed to Mr. Hoover by Pope Benedict on Jan uary 9 and sent to the chairman of the inter-allied food organization through Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore. Voting The land and labor league, which is the official designation of the new political party formed last week at Salem, has, in its peculiar platform, asked for the privilege of voting by mail. This is only one of the freak proposals of the new party. Only a few weeks ago a Republican legislature enacted a measure providing that any elector desiring to vote a straight party ticket might make a single mark on his ballot. The bill was promptly vetoed by, the governor, and was attacked by the press, and particul arly the Democratic and independent press, on the ground that it would destroy the Australian ballot sys tem, which Oregon has enjoyed for many years. The bill may have been pleasing to the lazy voter, but it had nothing to commend it to those who have sufficient intelligence to indicate their preference for individual candidates. Voting by mail is a new one to us. It would per mit Walking Delegate Hofinsky to herd 50 people into a room, tell them how to vote and for whom, see that they followed instructions to the letter and then deposit the ballots in the nearest letter box. We fail to see the secret ballot preserved by this process, but it would be a beautiful scheme to put over single tax, proportional representation, placing school boards under political control and other isms imported from the North Dakota non-partisan hive. Well, we now know what is proposed, so that the people will have their eyes wide open for the nasty dose they are asked to swallow. We presume the actual ma chinery will start to grind, that Townley money will be freely circulated among the masses, and that sooner or later we shall be confronted with a ticket, to be voted on by mail, about as follows: For Governor Charles E. Spence. t For Secretary of State Otto Hartwig. For State Treasurer J. D. Brown. For Attorney-General W. S. U'Ren. For School Superintendent H. W. Hagemann. We trust we may be pardoned for nominating two Clackamas county gentlemen on this ticket, but they are neighbors of ours and we know more of their quali fications for important positions. Give us the privilege of voting by mail, by all means. We are too tired, after a long day's work, to walk to the polls. F E JOINS DEVIL DOGS AGAIN Teercy Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Wilson, of Gladstone, who was in the marine service four years, and who returned to his home at Glad-1 stone May 24, has reenllsted In the marine service, and has gone to Cal-j ifornia, where be will be temporarily 1 stationed at Los Angeles, He w,'lli later be sent to El Paso, Texas, where he will remain about three months ' and then return to San Diego.

"The better class ot criminlaftV he said, "are water drinkers. They would no more think of d-lnk0T(g liquor than they would of being earless in cracking a safe. "Crime In Chicago (is commercial ized. There Is a big organization which conduct crime exactly like a bus-'ness enterprise. It will take the crime commission six years to make Chicago a safe place to live In. "One of our methods is to card index all criminals. Then we have a map that shows the home of every crook. Each house that shelters a member of the underworld ,'s Indi cated by a pin arid you'd be' sur prised to see how many pins there are In some of the best neighborhoods. "The ease with which criminals get out on bond is one evil that should be abated. We ought to get rid of the bonding system. Last year there were $2,)0,000 in bonds forfeited. Yes but only $25,000 was collected. "There were more murdorg in Chicago last year than in the en tire British Isles." Caillaux Treason Case To Be Tried PARI3, Feb. 2.

In the liny long since gone by: When a man could wet hla whistle. Without taking any chance; Thus to it't a quick dlmlnnl. Or of breaking up tlu duueo. For ho found a happy saying. That Inspires lotn of grit; And as wo must keep tm playing, Wo bud tiottt remember It. It will make our load much lighter, Drive the heavy cloilds away, That our sky may bin-onio brighter As we near tho great pay day. There nre disappointment many, We encounter In this life: And perhaps (hero are not any, Who will have no bitter strife. That Is why Typlon's saying. Helps a fellow to stand pat; For he says, "Juki keep oti playing, Life is not so bad at that." It's not wise for us to worry, For we did not make the earth; And we can't, by fuss and flurry, Give to Vf Instrinsle worth. If we runnot have our choosing, I-et us gladly take the bat; For we often win by losing. "Ufe Is not bad at that." Had as things are for us sinners, Really, they might be lots worse; And we' may come out as winners, With our last ride In the hearse. Take your chance and keep on playing. And whatever come stand put, Just remember Typton's saying, "Life Is not so bad at that" -F. W.
