TYPING SPEED
DEMONSTRATED
AT 0. C. HIGH
Thursday the Oregon City high
school was favored with a typing
demonstration given by E.. iG. Welse
and three of his students from the typ
ing department of the Behnke-Walker
Business college.
At the given signal the keys of every
machine began o click and the car
riage to fly back and forth with amaz
ing rapidity. The nimble fingers of
the demonstrators flew over the keys
with the ease and speed of some me
chanical device as they wrote the first
eighty, then .ninety, then a hundred
and finally a hundred and thirty words
a minute- After seeing them writt
at the latter rate, it seemed mere
child's play to write eighty words a
minute.
I. M. "Walker, president of the Behnke-Walker
Business college, through
whose courtesy this demonstration
was given, assured us that these stu
dents had had only seven months'
training.

STILL AND
MASH TAKEN
BY OFFICERS
Sheriff "Wilson and deputies nabbed
another still in this county Sunday
night, the first to be captured in sev
eral weeks. Pat Donahue and L. V.
Verigan .accused of operating the
moonshine outfit, are now in the coun
ty jail in default of $500 bail each.
They pleaded not guilty before Judge
Noble Monday. The still was raided
near Earle Station, on the Estacada
carline, and the operators were using
coal as a fuel for the two huge boilers
which were set up in a large house
near the tracks. About 200 gallon!1,
of mash, but very little of the finish
ed product was taken in the raid.
Rev. Edgar Has
Excellent Luck
Rev. H. G. Edgar, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, was the
happiest man in Oregon City Friday
evening, the reason being that he
caught his'first salmon, after vainly
sitting in a boat from day to day,
casting his line for one of the big
Chinooks, since the salmon season
commenced. Last year Rev. Edgar
tried his luck, but didn't even get a
strike. Friday morning, he pulleo
out one of the Chinooks that tippea
the scales at 18 pounds, and was S j
elated over the catch, that he decid.
ed to try his luck trout fishing. Ac
companying Frank Schoenborn, tiie
pastor made a day of it and the two
men motored to Milk Creek, bring
ing back baskets well filled.
Woman Is Shaken
Bv Fall on Street
Mrs. Heilman, while crossing the
street at Seventh and Main Friday
afternoon, accidentally caught her foot
in the car track, throwing her heavily
to the pavement. She was removed
to the Test room of the W. C. T. TJ.
close by, and was given first aid by
Mrs. A. B. Rintoul, who was acting
as hostess of the room at the time.
ut. u. ti. Aieissner was later sum
moned and gave medical attention.
Mrs. Heilman was badly shaken up.
and suffered from bruises about her
body, necessitating her confinement
to her home for several weeks.
ROSES ARE HERE
Mrs. E. H. Cooper, whose home is
on Tenth and Jackson streets, is the
proud possessor of the first roses that
have bloomed in the spring of 1921,
the blossoms of a beautiful shade or
pink, appearing a few days ago. These
are the Princess of China variety, a
climbing rose, and are of unusual at
tractive and fragrant qualities The
vines are covered with bu that are
showing color.
These are the first roses that have
appeared in a Clackamas county gar
den this year. This rose bush was
the first to bloom last year In this
city.
7e Kick-back,
The news columns relate that a committee from.
Pomona Grange, acting under a resolution of that body,
is preparing to submit to the people a proposal to repeal
the Clackamas county road bond amendment. We
note the name of our enterprising friend, Charles E.
Spence, as a member of the committee and we are not
surprised.
When Clackamas voted to issue bonds for the con
struction of permanent roads, it took a long step for
ward. There was some opposition to the plan, as
there is not indicated, but the farmers demanded the
road bonds and the people voted them. Now that the
courts have finally passed favorably upon the validity
of the issue, the same people who originally opposed
the good road movement are scheming to kick back to
the mud guard.
More than a year ago the farmers went to the polls
and expressed their desire to secure paved roads, and
said in no uncertain terms that they were willing to pay
for them. They chafed over the delay and they are
'wondering today why it is the county court is not mov
ing faster in carrying to a conclusion the will of the peo
ple. It is not reasonable to suppose that there has
been a reversal of opinion. The eagerness for decent
highways is greater, if anything, than it was during the
bond campaign, and the sentiment will grow and will
not recede.
The man who makes a mountain out of a molehill
has no reason to be proud of his mental inflation.
This is the season of the year when the backyard
gardener seems to have the greatest enthusiasm.
It looks as though all the jail space in the county
would be occupied if the crooks are ever rounded up.
j
It is no disgrace for a man to be called a crank if he
is the kind that keeps turning things around!.
Many persons appear to have the idea that a dollar
is not doing anything for them as long as it is unspent.

CANBY BUS

dates about twenty passengers, was
thrown into the ditch by the Impact,

uninjured. The car which was hit,
a light one, was turned completely ov

OPEN DOORS IN
BUSINESS
THE LAWYER.
Law is a profession which is just
opening to women. The lawyer Is as
old as the Ten Commandments, but
he has always been masculine. A fe-v
courageous women have of recent
years been studying in law schools
and while doing the work admirably,
often capturing the 'highest grades,
and competitive tests, yet they are
generally denied all recognition, even
to diplomas, and all prizes. In states
which have had suffrage for some
time they have fared better, and now
that suffrage has arrived in America
and woman s poncitai innuence is
felt, women lawyers may expect to
be received with less suspicion. Wo
men are Increasing numerically in
law, and confidence in them is in
creasing proportionately.
The type of girl who will make a
good lawyer is one with an analyti
cal mind, good reasoning ability, clear
thinking, a keen insight into human
nature and a good memory.
To train for law is a serious un
dertaking. To the high school course
should be added the college course
and to this the law course of three
or four years. Even after this the
woman is not fitted to go into im
mediate practice. The schools may
teach the facts of laws; but only prac
tice can make the skilled lawyer.
Most beginners in law enter the of
fice of some influential and capablo
firm and serve there a year or two
as clerks before they undertake busi
ness for themselves. As clerks they
receive little or nothing, but the
firm may throw many little oppor
tunities their way and after a year or
more there, arrangements may be
made for them to take care of cer
tain work of their own through the
firm name and machinery. If the gtfl
makes good exceptionally there Is
the chance that she may be able to
be in some way connected with the
firm who have come to appreciate her.
It is very difficult for a woman to
get the clerkships with a high grade
law firm because men are, so mucn
more Preferred. To start for one's
self and build up a practice is a
long and difficult task, especialy for
woman, who is still an experiment in
the law world.
A man lawyer .may prepare en
tirely, though not so broadly for law
in the office of a good law firm. After
he is established he may specialize
in seme one phase of law practice,
but since woman is so little recognis
ed in law as yet these possibilities
are not well open to her.
The young lawyer may help gain
an acquaintance and public confidence
by taking many kindred opportunlt
ties. which may be put her way. If she
has political ambitions, the law
makes a good groundwork.
The successful lawyer is us
ually a comfortable and respected
person, so there is something to look
ahead to if the first years of dis
couragement can be endured.

THE WOMAN CITIZEN
3S$SS8.$.J.Sj.S.,$jSj,s
Urges Women to Study Government,
Mrs. Corine Roosevelt Robinson,
sister ot Theodore Roosevelt, urges
women to study government begin
ning with their local government and
reaching out to state and national
affairs. Of this she says:
"Intelligent women and that in
cludes a large group are a great
addition to the electorate. There is a
group of the illiterate, which is some
thing of a menace, but in time this
group will be educated along the
same lines. Many men are so used to
their citizenship that they regard it
casually, as a matter of course. They
do not seem to be awake to the full
responsibility it implies. Upon such
men the new voters will have a bene
ficial Influence. If wives and sisters
and mothers of these men take their
new responsibilities seriously, and
most of them are doing so, the men
will consequently be aroused to the
importance of considering govern
ment matters earnestly and thought
fully. That is a great work we wo
men have before us."

the last above all.
In long and short, he has a right
to be a BOY.

Oh, Daffy-down-dilly
Quite drives me silly
With its startling green and gold.
My being thrills,
And my bosom fills
With emotions I scarce can hold!
So I dally and dilly;
I labor illy,
Obsessed by those colors bold.
My mind's in the hills
Far from figures and bills; '
I am young, young, young; Who's

for cavalry and artillery that success
in this work now seems assured.

very much pleased with the type.
Breeding operations for the com
ing season have already been started
at remount depots at Front Royal,
Va., and Fort Reno, Okla. A few
early arrivals are already reported.
The 347 colts on hand are of unusual
size and give promise of producing
some very high class cavalry horses.
Of 80 yearling colts at Fort Reno, not
one is unsound, weedy or poor type.
All of them will make good utility
horses with plenty of quality and sub
stance; many of them will prove su
perior for riding purposes to anything
the. army has ever had in the past.
Dealers and users of mules- are also
very much interested in the smal

dam for the breedy cotton mule so

type of mare, along with the cavalry
horse, is becoming very scarce.

place she attended school, continuing
successively at Minneapolis, Tacoma,
and in the Normal Department cf Port
land . University, now Willamette,
where she graduated. She taught
school in Olympia, Wash., for five

the wife of Dr. Roy A. Prurfden.
Mrs. Prudden was a?nemher ot Pio
neer Chapter, O. E. S., of Oregon City.
She was also a promient Daughter of
the American Revolution, and to her is
largely due the credit for the organiza
tion of the Susannah Lee Barlow Chap.
ter at Oregon City. She'was later it
Regent, at the time of her recent re
moval to Portland. In that capacity
she presided, and with unusual grace
and tact, at the large and beautiful
luncheon tendered by the Oregon City
Chapter to the State oBard, D. A. R.,
in the old McLoughlin mansion last
Septembers With several members of
her family she had transferred her
membership shortly before her death,
to Multnomah Chapter, Portland,
which sincerely mourns her untimely
departure. The date of her death was

Her mother, Mrs. H. C. McCollum,
of Portland, and sisters, Mrs. E. C.
Rossman, of Portland ; and Mrs. E. W.
Ross of Olympia, survive, as also her
husband, Dr. Prudden, and little son.
David, a wee lad of four. An unusually
loving relation existed between daugh
ter and -mother, and sister; and her
devotion to her home and husband and
child are seldom equalled. The little
son, though so young, has received the
impress of his mother's character and
teaching which will be ineffaceable.
Mrs. Prudden, her pastor said, had
always teen a Christian; she was
brought up in that atmosphere and
knew nothing else. Joining the church
at 14 years of age, she was a member
of the First Methodist Epsicapal
church in this city at the time of her
death. She was always active and
faithful in discharging the claims her
church laid upon her. Although Eas
ter day, as we mark it, had not yet
come, the day of her translation was
Easter to her when she met her saint
ed father and .her risen Lord.
There, like an' Eden blossoming in
gladness
Bloom the fair flowers that earth too
rudely pressed."
As an ardent Christiar. a loyal
friend ,an unusually devoted daughter.
sister, wife and mother, a large circle
of friends sinceremly mourn her loss
and deeply sympathize with her be
reaved family.
