Fright Is Given
By False Report
CANBY, OR, June 15. Mach un
easiness was. caused at the home at
Mrs. Martha Moller, of this city, Sat
urday, when she was notiaed by Cor
oner Henderson, of Pacific county.
that a man's body, bearing an identifi
cation car,j of Harold Schayden, to
whom Mrs. Moller was engaged t-
marry, had been found badly mutil
:ated in a railroad wreck near Leban
on, Oregon.
Mrs. Moller immediatelv attempt
ed to telephone the 3ear Crook Lum
ber Company, where Schayden had
been employed, but it was. impossible
-to get word to the company. Sunday
morning she succeeded in getting in
touch with the company, but' was In
formed that Schayden had partaken
of breakfast that morning at the com
pany's logging camp, and thnt there
must have been some mi&take. Mrs.
Moller wastes no time, and left for
the place, knowing that she could im
mediately identify the man, although
it was reported that his hands had
been cut off, besides his face so baaly
mangled making identification almost
impossible .
After arriving at Carey, neat- where
4he sawmill was located she was ov
erjoyed to find the prospective bride
groom in the best of health, and both
believe that the stranger had found
the identification card of Schayden
and placed ttis ln hla Pcket short
ly before he met his death. The man
also possessed $6 when fouDd. No
clue has been established as to who
the man losing his life.
Mrs. Moler had expected to find
Schayden dead when reaching her
destination and was surprised to see
him walk in, and the greeting was
most effective. - They immediately
left for the office of the justice of
the Peace Hazen, where they were
united in marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Schayden will arrive
in Canby the latter part of the week
to make their home for the present.
The wedding day had been set for
July.

left their home shortly before for
visit with friends, and most of which
escaped from the burning buildm
through the open doors at each end
of the building, while others were
roasted alive.
There is no clue to leaf, to the or
igin of the fire unless some visitor to
the farm during tho day bad careless

in the straw that covered the floor, as
it is the custom of the owner of tho
poultry to give all of the chicken -J
nlentv of straw to scratch :'n, and
on Sundays there is an unusual num
ber of visitors.
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Widdcws, the

Cribble, reside but a short distance
from th.e Gribble home, and when
their attention was dra-n towards
the hurniXlg building the entire struc

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 15. The
Oregon senators have been requested
by the treasury department to recom
mend a successor to Milton A Milier,
prrfrcnt collector of innrna! revenue
fc-r the district of Oregon. '
cide G. Huntley ! Oregon cit'
member of the executive board of
the republican state central commit
tee, is believed to be the tentativa
choice of Senators McNary and Stan
field for the position of collector of
internal revenue. This is considered
the best of the federal job3 within the
state of Oregon and there have been
a number of candidates for the por
tion. Fully a month ago information
trickled to Oregon from Washington
that Mr. Huntley had the edge on this
particular appointment, and the be
lief is deep-rooted that none of his op
ponents can take the , appointment
away from him now.
Peare Considered Out
John H. Peare of La Grande, who
was an aspirant for the place, i3 co:
.feidere out of it. Rumors are that"
negotiations have beet under way to
make Mr. Peare collector of custom
but there is nothing authentic about
this gossip.
Mr. Huntley, who has seen service
in the legislature as well as being
a member of the republican organiza
tion, has the backing of Thompson If.
Tongue, state chairman. If Mr. Hunt
ley is the successful applicant as is
probable, hfa appointment will bo
largely due to Senator McNary.
Mr. Miller occupies a non-tenure of
fice so that while the second four
years of his incumbency expires Au
gust 14, he can be replaceed at any
time. The' collector of internal reve
nue holds office at the pleasure of
the president instead of for a specifU:
four-year term, as is the cause with
the district attorney, marshal and co!
lector of customs. ,
No Action Taken Yet
Senator McNary said that no action
would De taken until the return of
Senator Stanfield from Chicago, who
is attending the conference called
there to raise a $500,000,000 pool for
financing the livestock industry. If
is not believed that the senators will
take any steps to disturb Mr. Miller
before the expiration of his term, Au
gust 14 of this year although the treas
ury department stands ready to maka
the change at once if the senators
will present their candidate properly
indorsed.

A Great American
The American Legion suffers the chief depriva
tion, but the country as a whole is a heavy loser through
the sudden death of Col. Frederick W. Galbraith, Jr.,
national commander of the Legion. ' For the sterling
qualities which made Colonel Galhraith a successful
business man, that earned for him high recognition as a
soldier and led to his leadership of the American Le
gion were being devoted to advancement of national
interests, though his primary concern was for the Amer
ican service men in the World war. He died in the
service, for the deplorable accident at Indianapolis oc
curred while he was journeying on the business of the
great organization which had entrusted him with res
ponsibilities most important.
Colonel Galbraith's training precisely equipped him
for the duties which fully engaged him since his eleva
tion to the commandership last September. In early
life he had been a railroad tracks walker, then a sailor,
later a business man, and he had spent a number of years
in the National Guard. Always his contacts had been
such as to develop the love of men and to strengthen
his advocacy of the square deal. He was a powerful
factor in establishing the purposes of the Legion and
in upholding Americanism. All his activities were un
dertaken in a spirit of patriotism that was an inspira
tion to observers.
Members of the American Legion will especially
feel the loss of their commander at a time when he was
engaged in promoting legislative and other measures
to guard their welfare. The cause of the disabled sol
dier was particularly near his heart and he was tireless
in working out plans of relief and in seeking govern
ment support for the nation's heroes. The movement
for the consolidation of the various agencies of soldier
relief at Washington was largely stimulated through his
efforts.
The work which he was furthering will go on, of
course, but it is a sad loss which his untimely death in
flicts upon his family, his comrades and his country.

FOR DIRECTORS
MEN ARGUE; CROWBAR
USED; ONE ARRESTED
U. Stenernagel is suffering from
what is believed to be a fractured
skull and a broken arm, and Paul
Staal Is in the county jail as the
result of an assault at Oswego at
5:3o o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Staal is charged with assault and
battery of the injured man. The
trouble originated when Stall tethered
three of his cows in front of Stener
nagel 's house at Oswego. The latter
turned one of the cows loose, and that
animal was taken up by the pound
master. Staal, in looking for his cow,
came across Stenernagel who denied
knowing the whereabouts of the ani
mal. In the dispute that followed,
Staal hit Stenernagel over the head
with a crow-bar, which h'j was carry
ing. He claims tthat his victim, who
is 76 years of age, menaced him with
a hoe which he had over has shoulder.
Staal was brought here in custody
of A. McVey, constable at Oswego, and
placed under the charge of Sheriff
Wilson. At Oawego Staal has a wife.
and a "aDy wno was Dorr, yesteraay.
Medical attendance was sent to both
Staal'b home and to care for Stener
nagel, the exact extent of whose in-1

With 125 names attached, petitions
urging !Dr. Clyde Mount and Bert
Roake. members of the Oregon City
school board, to be candidates for re
election at the annual election June
20, were filed Saturday afternoon. Dr.
Mount is a dentist and has served one
term on the school board. He is r.
University of Oregon man. His run
ning mate, Mr. Roake, is head of the
Oregon City foundry and has been a
resident or Oregon City for many
years. " He was first elected on the
school board in 1916 and was relected
three years ago. His practical me
chanical knowledge has been of great
value to the district.
Friends of both directors rallied to
their support as soon as it was known
their petitions .were in circulation.
Their interest in school affairs is gen
erally recognized and because of their
service their familiarity with loeal
scholastic problems makes their re
tention as members of the school
board especially desirable. Both men
are independent in thought and action
and have no hampering connections.

Farm Bureau Starts
Move To Eradicate
Tubercular Cattle
Eradication or tubercular cattle
throughout Clakamas county is the
purpose of a campaign instituted by
the Dairy Project Leaders of the local
Farm bureau. Doctor Gardner, repres
enting the Livestock Sanitation board
of Salem arrived in Oregon City Wed
nesday to take charge of tha tests and
conduct .the campaign. He expects to
remain here about two weeks.
A similar campaign was Instituted
here last year at which over 50 per
cent of the cattle in the county were
tested. This year 90 per cent cf
the ranchers have signed up to have
their cattle tested, and it is the hope
of the local board that this can be
made 100 per' cent.
Doctor Gardner is in Gladstone to
day. He will spend Monday in Carus
and Oregon City. No charge, is made
for the testing- of the cattle All that
is necessary is to apply for - tests
which may be dOHe at the office of
Walter A. Holt, county agricultural
agent.
The herds of Clackamas county are
believed to be generally in a healthy
condition The tests made last year
showed that the percentage of dis
eased cattle' was comparatively slight,
In order to keep this creditable aver
age, the board feels that it will be
necessary to test all the herds, in
order to completely eradicate those
that carry the sickness.

cf the market roads projects and coun.
ty crews are engaged in clearing and
grading work upon a number of the
newly established lines.
Improvements Started
A new survey to improve the ex
isting road from Jack's Bridge to
Wright's Bridge has been started. This
road extends 10 miles from the Marion
county line toward Mulino. The type
of pavement and the size of the road
bed depends largely upon the amount
of money that can be expended in tMs
district. Engineer Meldrum hopes to
lay an 18-foot roadbed on this section.
The five mile stretch from Wilson-
ville to Ladd's Hill and the seven
miles from Carver to Barton are also
being surveped. These roaads, when
improved under the market funds, will
follow approximately their old loca
tions but changes will be made to
gain a straightei right-of-way and
to eliminate some of the bad grades.
The survey of Market Road Number
One, which, was started by the state
hghway commission is to be complet
ed by the county surveyor. The road
extends from Meadowbrook to Col
ton, and the section to be figured by
the county engineer's office is four
and one miles in length. Few
changes will be made in this road
other than the improvement of tho
5 existing grades.
New Road Planned
A new location is to be run for the
Estacada and Sandy road. This will
involve a new highway more than 10
miles in length. The new road will
open up a country which has hither
to lacked adequate highway commun
ication. The Borland road, through '
the Sherwood country which was sur
veyed last year, will also receive its
share 'of (attention under the tear
ket highways program.
, Clackamas county has not yet esab
lished a standard type of lateral high
way construction, according to Engin
eer Meldrum. The type of improve
ment is largely governed by the funds
available, thus the maximum amount
of mileage construction has been pos
sible. The plan, however, as near
as practicable, is to inaugurate the
construction of hard surface, prefer
ably bithulithic concrete pavement
This policy will be carried out where
ever the necessary appropriations are
available, giving, the county perman
ent roads that are obtainable with
macadam only at the expense of heavy
maintenance cost.
A number of the lateral roads.
where the traffic will not be overly
heavy are to be improved "with maca
dam. The actual decision as to the
type f the market roads improvc-.-ments
is awaiting the completion of
further survey work which ia now in
progress throughout the country.
JUDGMENTS ARE ASKED
Two suits asking judgments were
filed Wednesday with the circuit court
clerk. . F. A. - Wilson asks judg
ment in the sum of $263.37 against H.
P. Beltner and E. D. Boylan and wife
for labor performed.
Pauline Ott, of Ardenwold asks $305
damages against Charles Grosmiller,
allegeing that the latter cut down a
tree upon her property valued at $75
and did $5 damage. Under the' law
she is allowed to sue for triple tho
amount of tho damage.
