houses close by. There is always
plenty of green feed close at hand
for the birds, and a large portion of
the land is devoted to growing kale
and other green feed

ROBBERSCHASED
FROM MAIN ST.
STORE BY OWNER
Surprised in the act of looting the
Buckles store at 11th and Main street
here yesterday morning, two gurglars
were routed from the establishment
by the prompt action of Mr. Buckles
The robbers entered the store through
a window about 5:30 o'clock Wednes
day morning ,and after gaining en
trance, unlocked the back door of the
store and propped it open for a quick
get-away.
Buckles, who" with his family, lives
above the store, heard the yeggs un
lock the back door and creeping down
stairs in his sock feet, surprised them
in the act of looting the store. The
two robbers fled through the rear
door, with Buckles in hot pursuit,
but got away before the store-keeper
caught up with them.
Outside of a few packages of tobac
co, cigarettes and cigars, the robbers
secured little of value. The safe in
the1 store contained considerable
cash, and in all probability would
have been opened by the yeggs if
they had not been surprised by the
owner. According to Buckles, tha
men ran as soon as he started down
stairs and he could not see their fac
es clearly. The two roDbers were
men and not boys, according to Buck
les. The matter has been reported
to' the city and county authorities.

.THE CHANCE.
I sat in a game one evening.
With some congenial pards;
The gods were kind in dealing,
And gave me handsome cards.
"I'll raise it five," Said Freckles,
And flipped his chips, in the pot,
Then several of us called him,
For blood was running hot.
Two pairs came in the dealing,
Another came in the draw;
As luck was in my favor,
The game was mine by law.
But Freckles had more courage,
And would not say enough;
I winced a bit then weakened,
And lost out on a bluff.
Again the fates in dealing.
Gave me a betting hand;
And I had every prospect,
The tempting pot to land.
My heart was full of gladness,
I called their eager rush;
But Freckles beat me to it,
He had a royal flush.
He took my last lone dollar,
For I had bet my pile,
Because the chance of winning.
Is what makes life worth while.

Johnson, proprietor of the O. K. bar

hair-cuts at the St. Agnes baby homo
free of charge. The little orphans of
the home were sadly in need of a
hair-trim, and as the funds of the in
stitution are not great, the sisters
each year depend upon Johnson for
the tonsorlal needsi of the youngst
ers. "Ed." was called upon Tuesday
to do the job, and sharpening up his
clippers, and securing a satchel, he
started out for the days work. So
many of the little orphans needed a
hair-trim, that after working all day
Tuesday, Johnson was compelled to
call in a helper, and finished up the
job late Wednesday afternoon. Not
only did Johnson do the job, or jobs,
free of charge, but he waded through
about three feet of water to get to
the home, at that.

ALBA BROS. Dentists
2454 MORRISON STREET,
PORTLAND, OREGON
PADDOCK IS FOR
PROPOSED ROAD
TO GLADSTONE
Concerning the proposed road be
tween this city1 and Gladstone, where
in a fill could be made parallel with.
the electric line from the end of Main
street here, A. D. Paddock, of Glad
stone, in an interview with an Enter
prise reporter said:
Nearly all of the taxpayers! on the
Gladstone side of. the river are in
favor of the proposed road. It is ab
surd that the Live Wires will con
demn a proposition like this, when it
would benefit all concerned. The pre
sent road by Parkplace is a disgrace
to any county, and today with five
foot of water in some places on that
highway, Gladstone is shut off from
Oregon City and territory beyond. I
understand that Grant Dimick, in a
statement at the Live Wire meeting
said that the proposed fill for the new
road would cost in the neighborhood
of $125,000. This statement is pre
posterous, and I am satisfied that the
fill could be made for between 25 and
30 centsi per yard.
"Gladstone is shut off from Oregon
City and points south today, for tho
reason that the present highway ia
under water. And every year It i3
the same. Hundreds of automobiles
are stalled in Gladstone right now for
the reason that they cannot get
through on account of this water. If
the present highway is graded any
where near above low water mark,
it will cost more than the new pro
posed fill along the electric line.
It is just such selfishness on the part
of certain interests and the Live Wir
es included, that causes Gladstone to
favor a county division movement to
day. The proposed road is in line
with a progressive movement, and
perfectable feasible, and I can't un
derstand why certain men of Oregon
City and Clackamas county will "yell
their heads off" when a progressive
and practicable idea likes this comes
up for consideration."
Jack Moffat, prominent road build
er, and who built the pipe line for the
present Oregon City water from the
South Fork, gave his views) on the
proposed road also. Mr. Moffat told
the Enterprise reporter that he would
be willing to accept a contract for
the new fill for between 25 and 30
cents per yard. He alleges that the
plan is perfectable workable, and
that the new road would not in the
least interfere with the new bridge
across the Wallamette river here. Mr.
Moffat said that by the time the old
road is repaired every year, and a
new steel bridge built across the
Clackamas river, the money would
nearly pay for the new road.
Several other prominent men . of
Clackamas, county are in favor of the
project. Among them being Ed. Olds,
bridge builder; M. D. Latourette, Dr.
L. A. Morris, and many others. Facts
and figures will be published soon re
garding the expense of the fill and
bridge, which will probably startle
those who are now alleging that the
road will cost too much, it is said.
Court Will Widen
Bryant Acres Road
A street in Bryant Arces will be
widened by the county court ten feet.
The original deed to the county al
lows the extra road bed, which has
never been taken up by the court to
date. On an opinion by District At
