After the survey has been taken and compiled, the county agent's ofifce here wll'. be able to an. nounce how much the average farmer should receive for milk and butter fat. according to , proper feeding schedule and condi'f-ii of the cows. A record of one fanner in the south ern end of the county shows that he has been selling butter fat in Port land for 57 ceuts per pound, and the cost of producing the produrt on- hU farm has been 59 cents per pound. In Just such cases as this will the county j agent's office be able to help, after the present survey has been complet- ed and compiled, as an average will show lhat the above farmer either has poor cows, or that he does not know how to handle the anlmuls pro fitably.

The court has aaked District Attorney Hedges for an opin ion as to the validity of the bonds re cently voted for the bridge. . The Highway Commission claims that Clackamas county now owes the state $220,000 for grading and en gineering on the highway. In view of this, the county court made an off er to the commission as follows: the $250,000 In bonds recently voted to be tu-ned over to the commission, with the understanding that the $220,000 debt claimed by the state be cancel led, and that the highway comrals slon go ahead and build the bridge. This would make the bridge coat Clackamas county $30,000. The-commlsHion turned this offer down and made a counter proposal to the county court: that the com mission build the bridge at an esti mated cost of $375,000, and pay two- thirds of this amount; Clackamas county to turn over the $230,00i it the sale of the bonds, and pay the balance of $95,000 over a term of three years. The amount of $93,000 in question Is the balance that Clackamas county would owe, if the plan is accepted or in other words, the difference between $125,000 left from the bonds after ap plying on the bridge, and $220,000 now owed by the county to the com mission on grading work, etc- The court contend that the amount of $220,000 for grading and engineer ing is excessive, and this matter will N ironed out at the forthcoming ses tons between the commission and the county court C. B. McCoIIouh, chief bridge en gineer for the state, was in the city yesterday, and helping fix up. the difficulties between the county court members and the commission. Noth ing can be done, however, until an opinion la handed down by the at torneys as to the validity of the bonds recently voted for the bridge. .

This was decided at the Tuesday noon luncheon of the ' Live Wires, when the vice conditions in tha d'itv Hf-itl(3rht tin ff.tu.-lM a talk by Charles Foster, field secre tary of the Pacific Coast Rescue Society, operating the Albertina Ferry nursery home, the Louise home for girls, and the Elizabeth cottage for defective children, in Portland. While Mr.. Foster's talk had to do'f ith con ditions in the state at large, the dis cussion following brought up a vital local p'oblem, with which seJveraL of the members bad had slight contact and which appears to be of an ex tremely serious nature. Rev. H. G. Edgar, ex-Main Trunk of the Live Wires and one of tha leaders In the movement to organize a moral squad here, spoke on the matter, and urged that something be. lone. R. W. Kirk, city superintend ent of schools, told of the work along v preventative lines being done in the schools, and expressed the belief that the schools here were fairly free from any vice condition. . In Mr. Foster's talk a prominent Seattle physician was quoted as saying that seven out of every ten of the high school pupils in that city had been guilty ot licentiousness and moral de pravity, and 'while Mr. Kirk disputel the figures, they served to awaken the club members to the appalling condlttons. that confront the young people , of the city. It was decided that the Live Wires MFtr nnt asm aytf nf an Invnatlva. tion of local conditions, and the com mittee appointed by Main Trunk Parker Is to recommend the best way to pursuje the investigation. Upon motion it was decided to lend the sup port of the club to the drive for funds for the rescue society,;, which hopes to raise $1200 here by a tag-day sale. A moving picture entitled "Enlighten t Thy 'Daughter" will be run here in conjunction with the drive for funds. A total of $10,000 is needed to com plete the new home fo rgirls and babies in Portland, said Mr. Foster. . City attorney-elect Oscar D. Eby ex pressed his appreciation to the Live Wires for the support they had given him, in the recent election, and sug gested for the benefit of the city that the fire department be immediately organized on a salary basis and ar rangements be made to house the fire truck in the Cataract company house at 2nd and Main, pending the erection of a new city hall, which he believes' will be delayed for some time.
