Canemah School
Gives Program
One of the most delightful patriotic
programs ever given by the pupils
of the Canemah school previous to
Memorial day when members of the
Meade Post .No. 2, G. A. R. and Wo
men's Relief corp3 make their an
nual visit, was given at the Canemah

first time in the history of the visit
of these two organizations where the
program was given in the park, and
was attended by about 100 people.
The early part of the morning was
devoted to the patriotic program giv
en by the pupils of the Canemah
pchocl under the direction of the
teachers, Professor Reece and Miss
Mazine Telford. This was followed
by addresses made by members of the

men of Canemah.- Long tables pret
tily decorated with wild spring blos
soms to correspond with the decora

happy1 guests seated around, made a
most impressive sight, and one long

tendance. There were twel-'e members of the
U 'A. R. attending all of whom were

DEFLATION NOT COMPLETE
t NEW YORK, May 24. Deflation, ac
cording to reports of the federal re
serve bank, 13 not yet fully completed.
Bill holdings have been sharply cur
tailed but still have some distance
to go. The increase in the gold re
serve has, of course, strengthened our
position materially. All federal re
serve banks have now .abandoned the
7 per cent for rediscounts. Many of
them are on a 6 1-2 per cent basis, and
one or two on a 6 per cent. Farther re
duction are likely to come about be
are loudly demanding a cut to 5 per
cent or lower, which, they declare,
woulj help them materially. In this
respect they are really confusing
cause and effect.
The rediscount rates have been fix
ed on a basis demanded by sound fin
ancing to be relaxed as circumstances
permitted. It was absolutely necessary
that this country should maintain a
safe gold reserve and that its finances
should be maintained upon an abso
lutely sound, basis.. Had this country
experienced one of its old time' money
panics It would have carried down
every other country In the world with
it and it would have required no great
dreamer to see the ugly bead of bol
sheviffm raised everywhere.
The Austrian Plebiscite
Clause 88 of the Treaty of St. Germain, giving the
Austrian government the right to apply to the Council
of the League of Nations for permission to join Ger
many is likely to form the basis of a plebiscite to the
voters of Austria, for the parliament of that country has
passed a bill deciding to take advantage of the League
provision. News dispatches say that the Austrian gov
ernment has been doing its best to have the whole mat
ter postponed, in conformity with the wishes of the en
tente, but that there is a feeling throughout Austria that
the situation cannot wait indefinitely. It is apparent
that there exists in Austria a wide difference of opin
ion, as the province of Tyrol has already held a plebis
cite, with an overwhelming majority in favor of a union
with Germany, and Salzburg and Steirwark are ener
getically setting about to do the same, with prospects of
taking the same attitude as Tyrol.
The financial condition of Austria is in need of rem
edy, and next Monday the League of Nations commis
sion will meet in London and may recommend the rais
ing of a loan of twenty million pounds, the loan to be
guaranteed by customs duties and revenues from the
state domains of Austria. It is proposed that the loan
would be subscribed by private banks with a League of
Nations guarantee and virtually all the signatory states
to the St. Germain treaty have agreed to the proposals.
Despite the sentiment in Austria for a union with
Germany, the entente powers would prefer to keep the
two countries apart. As in the late war, there is a
strong bond of sympathy that might, if unified political
ly, again endanger the peace of Europe, and while the
plebiscite bill has passed the Austrian parliament, no
date has been fixed, but the measure may have the de
sired effect of preventing the various provinces voting
separately on the plan.
Many a man who clamors loudly for personal lib
er tv will be found to be a slave of habit.
J
The individual who can not be loyal to one em
ployer is quite likely to be untrue toanother.
Telephone service from Florida to Cuba is now
planned, but more interest would be aroused by a pipe
line. '
An appaling number of folk seem to have the idea
that it takes a lot of exercise to keep the lungs in condition.
Veterans, Women's
Relief Corps Visit
The Bolton School
Bolton school was visited by a del
egation from the Meade Post No. 2,
and Women's Relief corps Monday
morning, when an excellent program
was given under the supervision of
the teachers, Mrs. Criteser, princip
al; Miss Pilkington and Mrs. Kelso.
The program was followed by a de
licious banquet, when the patrons of
the Bolton school assisted in provid
ing for and serving the guests.
Places were laid for over 45 mem
bers of th two organisations, all of
whom thoroughly enjoyea the recep
tion tendered them.
The tables were prettily decorated
wit cut flowers, and centering the
table where the old veterans sat, was
a handsome large cake, bearing the
words, "Complimentg to Meade Post
No. 2, G. A. R." The cake was high
ly appreciated by the old soldier boys
and all had their share of the deli
cacy. The cake was made and pre
sented by Mrs. Roy Davidson, of Bol
ton. The interior of the schoolroom and
dining room were prettily and appro
priately decorated for the occasion.
Following the exercises at the Bol
ton school the G. A. R. and Women's
Relief corps went by electric car to
Willamette, where a similar program
was given under the direction of the
teachers of that institution, and here
too the visitors were given a royal
reception.
Coffee, sandwiches, cake and ice
cream were served, and enjoyed bv
the guests.
The Sunset school was visited Tues
day morning and the pupils, under
the direction of the teachers and the
principal, Mrs. Emilie Shaw, showed
their patriotic spirit by giving a well
rendered program.
A dinner was served at 12 o'clock
and the people of that section also
showed their true patriotic spirit, as
sisted by the patrons of the school,
aided in serving the visitors a ban
quet. Decorations in keepiag with the
season were artistically arranged.
West Linn high school will be vis
ited this morning. This will close
the visiting days of 1921 for the G.
A. R. and the Women's Relief corps.
Members of the ,;post and corps
were never given a more royal recep
tion than this year, and at every in
stitution visited they were given the
"glad hand."
Edward Van Auken, driver for the
Oregon City Motor Buss company fa
vored the old veterans when visiting
the Mount Pleasant school by taking
them the entire distance to the Mount
Pleasant school house, thus saving
the old veterans of the Civil War
many a weary step, without charge. '

Maiden Moon
NORMA DANIEL ARANT
Ah. maiden moon, ah, coy maiden
moon,
I can see you hiding there
Behind dainty curtains of silver lace
rare ; '
I think I may peep at you soon.
Glimpses I get of your bright face ;
As draperies more apart;
A vision of joy and delight to my
heart,
A promise of beauty and grace.
Slowly you glide toward my eager
gaze.
Reluctant to leave your bower,
.Tmbused with enchantment of this
mystic hour.
Elusive you seem through the haze.
Now you sail forth in glorious sheen,
A flood of lovliest light;
As, stately and splendid, you dazzle
my sight,
1 crown you Heaven's proud queen.
NORMA DANIEL ARANT.
Annual Class Play

' The annual class play of the Ore
gon City senior class given last night
at the Midway theater was a very
enjoyable rendition of the comedy
drama, "What Happened- to Jones
Every students taking part is to be
complimented on the manner in which
it was carried off. Some real dra
matic art was displayed. The high
school orchestra played an overture
before the raising of the curtain aDd
a few selections, between acts, and
was commendable the progress that
this organization is making. A pack
ed house greeted the artists and show
ed their appreciation. It is hoped
that as large a crowd will attend to
night. The cast was as follows:
"Jones," (who travels for a hymn
book house), Gordon Wilson; "Eben-
eezer Goodly," (a professor of ana
tomy), Everette Rosecranr.; "Anthony
Goodly, D. D." (bishop of Ballarat),

COUNTY AGENT HOLT
SELLS HARNESS
The first shipment of re-made har
ness to reach Oregon City. from the
United Slates government arrived in
the office of County Agent Walter
Holt a few days ago.
These sets of harness were made
for the government during the world
war, and a large number ot farmers
have already taken advantage of the
offer made. The harness cost Uncle
Sam $135, and are now being sold to
the farmers for $45.25, with freight
paid. Mr. Holt says the value of
the harness today is at least between
$90 and $100.
MISS HUNTLEY ENGAGED
The engagement of Miss Ixmise
Huntley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs
W. A. Huntley to Richard Milton Bo
ra rth. of Pasadena, Cat, has been an
nounced. The marriage will b an

W. P. Hawley, President of the Hawley Pulp & Paper Co., Who
Returned
f i
mm
W. P. Hawley, president of the Haw
ley Pulp & Paper company, of this
city, who has been on a four weeks'
business trip in the east, returned to
his home in Portland Sunday even
ing, resuming his duties in this city
Monday morning. Mr. .Hawley when
arriving in Portland was given a most
cordial reception by members of his
family and other relatives, and a re
ception was held at their attractive
home. A surprise was in store when
arriving at his office Monday morning
which was pretUly decorated with
pink and white carnations, . the favor
ite flower of the president of the com
pany and over his desk was a hand
somely framed enlarged picture of. the
beautiful new home, which he has
just presented to his wife as a gift,
and of which the family will soon take
possession. At each side were also
hung large pictures of President
Hording and, Mr. Hawley, while on
his desk, in a beautiful solid silver
frame, was a new and attractive like
ness of his little granddaughter, Eva
Adele Hawley, daughter of Wfllard P.
Hawley. Jr. This surprise was com
plete, and during the afternoon Mr.
Hawley spent considerable time look
ing over the big paper plant and vis-
iting among his many employes, who
gave him the "glad hand," for he is
very popular among his men.
After arriving in the east, Mr. Haw
ley spent the first week in Washing
ton, D. C-, and thoroughly enjoyed his
stay there. He was given a most
cordial reception by the Oregon sena
tors Charles McNary and Robert
Stanfield. who entertained him at din
ner and who were later guests of Mr.
Hawley at a dinner party given at the
New Willard hotel. Other guests
present were Colonel David M. Dunne,
of Portland, and Mr. Rogers, former
mayor of Salem, Oregon, old time
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hawley. Sena
tor McNary took Mr. Hawley to the
White House, where he presented him
to President Harding, who granted
him an interview. In telling of his
visit with the President of the United
States, the president of the big paper
company tells of the cordial greeting
which President Harding gave Sena
tor McNary, which was as follows:
The president said, "Hello, Charlie
Excuse me, Senator!" Then the pres
ident exclaimed, "Wasn't I lucky that
my secretary of state wasn't elected
president, for if he had been, what
would I have done?"
During the course of tho conversa
tion between President Harding and
Mr. Hawley, the latter informed Pres
ident Harding that he was ironing
out many wrinkles The president
replied, "Yes, Mr. Hawley, and there
are many yet to be smoothed out."
Mr. Hawley was very favorably im
pressed with President Harding, and
says he "is a man who can look you
straight in the eye," and that any pho
tograph he has seen of the president
does not do him justice, especially
those fine," expressive eyes. No pic
ture has ever shown this expression,
which is truly wonderful.'
Although there were dozens of oth
ers awaiting the opportunity to have
an interview with President Hard
ing at the time of the Oregon visitor's
arrival at the White House, Mr. Haw
ley was given an immediate interview
through Senator McNary. a favor
highly appreciated by the president
of the Oregon City Paper company.
While in that city Mr. Hawley was
also entertained by ex-Senator Jona
than Bourne, Jr., and wife, a dinner
party being given at the Bourne homo
in his honor. Mr. Hawley in turn
gave a theater party in honor of Mr.
and Mrs. Jonathan Bourne, ana
also In this party were Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Lewis, who were former res
idents of Portland, and Colonel David
M. Dunne. Also the full privileges
of tb famous Army and Navy club

weFe accorded Mr. Hawley during hh?
stay in Washington by Colonel C. H.
Martin, of the United States army,
who distinguished himself in France
in the world's late war. Senator Mc
Nary presented Mr. Hawley with a
card entitling him to a seat in the re
served section of the gallery of the
United States Senate during- the ses
sion. Senator McNary showed extreme
consideration; and tattention Ho Mr.
Hawley during his visit in Washing
ton, and the latter found that the
Oregon senator stands very highly
with members) of the administration,
and that Senator Stanfield was equal
ly as cordial and attentive to the Ore
gon visitor, and also stands highly
among the Washington officials. Mr.
Hawley says, "I am certainly proud
of our Oregon men at Washington, D.
Hawley also had a special per
mit accorded him to visit all depart
ments of the United States treasury,
which was exceptional, as this privi
lege is seldom accorded to any one.
He was shown into the big vaults
where gold reserves are stored. This
money is placed in canvas bags
and was stacked nearly ten feet high.
The gentlemen in charge allowed him
to handle a package of currency val
ued at ten million dollars. Mr. Haw
ley says, "I have handled hundreds of
thousands of dollars at one time, but
that was by far the largest sum I ever
had in my hands at any one time."
Another interesting department of
the treasury is where currency is
returned from the different banks cf
the United States. The amount that
comes to the department each day is
one million five hundred thousand dol
lars. This currency is sent in to be
exchanged for new bills. The wo
men engaged in this department have
become so accustomed .to handling the
currency that they can instantly de
tect counterfeit money. It was while
Mr. Hawley was visiting this depart
ment a young woman detected a $o0
counterfeit bill. This had been in cir
culation for over sixteen years. It
was badly defaced and had
been sent to the department by a
banking institution to be exchanged
for a new bill.
Mr. Hawley 'inquired as to what was
done with the old bills, and was .in
formed that they were placed under
a large knife and cut into pieces, and
placed into a machine similar to those
found in a paper mill for making pulp,
and the mass reduced to pulp and sold
to paper mills for $40 per ton. This
was of unusual interest to Mr. Haw
ley, since he has had many years
of experience in making pulp from dif
ferent materials but has never made"
pulp from paper money.
As the girlsi take up their duties
each morning they are given a sealed
package of currency, segregating the
mutilated and the counterfeit curren
cy from that which is good enough to
again go into circulation.
Several interesting incidents wer9
related to Mr. Hawley while visiting
there, which shows that there are var
ious schemes used to cheat the gov
ernment out of money. In one in
stance a farmer and his wife on Penn
sylvania wrote the Treasury Depart
ment that they had started to town to
buy farming implements, the farmer's
wife having the money hidden under
her waist, and while crossinv over a
brook on a narrow footplank, the wife
fell into the water, whereby the bills
were water-soaked. As soon ag this
happened, instead of going to town
ther returned home, the wife placing
the bills in the oven of the stove
to dry them." While the
farmer was engaged in working
at the barn he had entrusted bis wife
to dry the bills in the oven. Upon
returning to the house, he asked bis
wife how the bills were drying out.
She answered, "Oh, I have forgotten
It
H

all about them." They both
hastened to open the oven door and
found the bills charred. So then the
farmer and his wife sent this charred
paper with the above explanation to
the United States treasury, which
was given to one of the experts
in this department who found that it
had never been printed money, but
only blank pieces of paper. The man
and wife, being found guilty of try
Ing to defraud the United States gov
ernment, are now "doing time" in tho
penitentiary.
Another similar incident was relat
ed, whereby another party wrote the
treasury department that he had a&
cidentally burned part of a twenty-dol
lar greenback, and In evidence of his
statement, sent in the remaining part
of the bill all charred on the edge, and
the treasury department sent a new-
bill in exchange. Five years later
this same man sent in the other part
of the $20 bill, which he formerly
stated had been entirely burned up.

bill sent in. conclusively proving that
he was trying to collect $0 by send
ing In two pieces of the same $20 bill
at different times. He is also "serv
ing time" in the penitentiary.
In one of the departments, which
was of unusual Interest to Mr. Haw
ley, was a vault eighty feet long, forty
feet wide and twenty feet high. This
vault had been piled full of canvas
bags containing silver dollars amount
ing to $114,000,000.00. Owing to the
shortage of silver in India, England
purchased this $114,000,000.00 worth
of silver. The money was shipped
to the Philadephia mint and melted
into bars of silver bullion and shipped
to England. After this purchase the
silver market advanced rapidly and
this silver increased so that the val
ue was $136,000,000.00. England mak
ing a clear profit of $22,000,000.00 on
this deal.
Before leaving Washington, Mr.
Hawley visited many other places ot
interest including Mt. Vernon, whicli
was the home of George Washington;
the former home of General Lee: the
Arlington cemetery, where many thou
sands of our distinguished soldiers of
the Civil War were buried; the famous
Ford Theater, which is now owned
and being preserved by the govern
ment, where President Lincold was
assassinated; also the room in the
house across the street from the the
ater, where President Lincoln died.
This house contains many relics of
the early Lincoln home.
While in New York City he had ;n
interview with his patent attorneys,
Prindle, Wright & Small, who have
been handling an infringement case in
the courts on a paper machine attach
ment. This case was appealed to the
circuit, court of appeals where the de
cision was rendered in Mr. Hawley's
favor. The decision is far 'reaching as
there are about one - hundred paper
mills that will have to make an ac
counting to Tompkins, Hawley, Fuller
company. Mr. Hawley is president of
the company and his son, Willard P.
Hawley, Jr., is secretary.
After leaving New York, Mr. Haw
ley and Colonel Dunne visited the
West Point Military academy, where
Colonel Dunne's son is completing
his military education. Mr. Hawley
gave a dinner to all tho Oregon boys
who are now attending West Point,
which was thoroughly enjoyed, and
the Oregon cadets will not soon for
get bis visit there.
Upon returning to Oregon, the pres
ident ot the paper company says there
is no nlace like it, after passing
through the eastern states, although
he had a delightful trip, especially
while visiting his old home city, M
lone, and where he was the guest oC
his brother, Hon. H. H. Hawler, who
was a former member of the New
York legislature. He remained there
over Sunday, visiting many old fa
miliar spots where he spent his boy
hood days, an even motored to the
banks of the streams where many a
fishing trip was made when a lad-

time friends were seen here, who
thoroughly enjoyed the visit with Mr.
Hawley. changes were noted in the .
city of Malone, but many of hisi old
friends still reside there.
Mr. Hawley says that business con
ditions in the eastern cities are quiet
at present and that there are about
20,000 employes of the paper mills
out on a strike. This is due to a
cut in the wages by many of the big
plants, going into effect the first ot
May, when a thirty per cent reduc
tion was made, while on the other
hand the employes had asked an in
crease of ten per cent.
It was while visiting in Watertown
N. Y., one of the big paper mill cities
of the east, which is the birthplace
of his son, Willard P. Hawley, Jr.,
he arranged with Bagley & Sew
all company, paper machine builders,
to manufacture the Tompkins, Hawlev
Fuller patented attachment for paper
machines. This attachment is a.
great advancement in the art of paper
manufacture, and increases the pro
duction on a paper machine, making1
light weight papers, at least 35 per
cent.
Mr. Hawley believes there is no
place like old Oregon, and says when
coming into the state from his long;
journey across the continent, it "cer
tainly looked good to him." Every
thing looked so green ani fresh, so
much different than in many places
he passed through while traveling
westward.
