PLAN TO GET HI
PAVED TO WEST LINN
B R1DGEJSADVANCED
Cancellation of $5000 Claim
Would Bring Road to
Desired Point
MEISSNER AND
ROAKE TO BE ON
SCHOOL BOARD!
By relinquishing a claim of $5000
against the state highway commission
by the county court for paving work
done at Canemah last year the coun
ty stands to secure 3000 feet more of
paviDg on the ( Pacific hfehway
th rough West Linn. This informa
tion was given the Live Wires of the
Commercial club at their Tuesday
luncheon by I L. Porter, city record
er of West Linn, who has interested
himself in seeing that the highway 13
completely paved; present plans and
the contract specifying that the new
road end about one thousand feet
from the end of the bridge. The
value of the paving, according to the
prevailing costs on the job. will be ap
proximately $30,000, and the state
highway commission's request that
the $5000 claim against them be ex
changed for this amount of Wtrk ap
peared to the Live Wires to be good
business.
West Linn Will Pay Share
Mr. Porter reported that ha
was taking the matter up witn
the West Linn city council and that ho
thought they would atgree to give up
their share of the $5000. The coun
ty court and the city of Oregon City
will also have to agree to the propos
al before it can be consumated.
The money expected from the state
for the Canemah paving was to have
been divided between the two cities,
and the plan was to use it for inter
est on the new bridge bonds, but in
view of the fact that the long end of
the proposeoV deal i3 in favor of the
county, the Wires appeared in favor
of ' granting t.e release, although no
official action yas taken.
School Election Discussed
Outside of discussion on road .mat
ters, the meeting was largely given
over to discussion of the recent school
directors' election, with the two de
feated candidates, Clyde Mount ant
M. D. Latourette, and Bert Roake,
one of the successful candidates, mak
ts short talks. All asked for more
interest in school affairs, and said
that the campaign just passed was
sample of what every election should
be, as far as number of votes cast
was concerned. Clyde Mount said
although he was' defeated, he received
more votes in this one election than
all of the directors elected in-the past
years have received in the aggregate,
Roake was victor over Latourette by
the margin of one vote.
The next meeting of the Live Wires
will be held next Tuesday evening at
6:30, with the members and their
wive3 attending, at the new auto
camp ground at Canemah park. This
will be the ,last meeting of the sea
son.

The largest Instrument to ever pass
through the office of the county re
corder was filed with Recorder J. G
Noe Thursday, when the Pacific Rail
way, Light & Power company of Port
land, entered for record a first lien
upon their property to the National
City Bank of New York.
The mortgage carried $2250 in rev
enue stamps, which according to Mr
Noe, is indicative of a larger sum
than has- ever come through the of
fice before. The filing fee will be
over $100. The largest filing fee
on record before was $83. The charge
is made on the basis of 20 cents per
folio, or 100 words The completion
of the filing records of the instru
ments will take nearly one week.
The instrument covers property in
a number of counties throughout the
state including Clackamas.
Unclaimed Jlfoney
Industrious and careful persons, who find it not al
ways easy to adjust their expenditures so that they may
run somewhat below their incomes and thus afford a ba
sis for adding to the sum laid away for a rainy day, and
who anxiously scan their bank balance after making out
checks for the month's expenses, probably wondered to
themselves when they read that more than $83,000,000
was lying in the United States treasury waiting for its
owners to send and get it.
. This money is not due as the result of successful
suits against the government for work done or supplies
furnished. It simply represents interest , coupons on
the new issues of government bonds put out since the
beginning of the late war and is immediately avail
able, all that is necessary to obtain it being to present
the coupons for payment.
It is not necessary even for the owners of these
millions to make personal application. All they have
to do is to deposit the coupons in any bank and the
matter will be attended to with no further trouble on
their part.
The money referred to is chiefly the interest due
on Liberty bonds which have not been converted into
permanent securities. The coupons on the temporary
bonds being all cashed, the bonds themselves should be
presented for exchange for new bonds, to which all un
paid coupons are attached. This can be done through
any bank' without expense to the owners, and it ought
to be done promptly.
The millions of dollars the undeposited coupons
represent should be converted into credit at the bank,
through deposit, the same as cash or checks. ' The large
sum would add to the circulating medium, and its place
is in the banks where it will be available for business us
ers, and help in restoring commerce and industry to a ba
sis of normal activity.
Kansas ants simply cannot be kept down. When
fly paper was used to keep them from eating up houses,

Two Indictments
Returned by Jury
In Stephens Case

Stephens was driving a car along
the River road between Milwaukie
and Gladstone June 9, when it struck
the machine of Will T. Wright, Jr.,
of this city. Mrs Wright was badly

chines were damaged.

A special school election in 18 dis
tricts in Clackamas county will be
held July 18 at 1 o'clock, when the
electors will vote upon th? consolida
tion into a union high school district
of Glad Tidings, Rural Dell .Meadow
brook. Dickey Prairie, Molalla, Liber
al; Teasel Creek, Russellville, Dry
land, Mulino, Maple "Orcve," Yoder,
South Oak Grove, Union Mills, Bear
Creek, Eby, Mount Hope and the
greater part of the Engle district.
Petitions for the consolidation of
these districts were filed June 14 with
the district county board which has.
authorized the special election. The
oroposal of the districts represented
in tl'e petitions is to consolidate the
bieh school interests, merging them
into the high school at Molalla.
Students from these, districts are at
present attending the Molalla high
school, and their tuition is being paid
by the county. If the proposed con
solidation is carried out it will allow
the pupils to continue at the Molalla
high school, but the burden of taxa
tion for the upkeep of the school
will be distributed over the entire en
larged district.
New Schools Soon Needed
The building of a larger schood is
not contemplated at present, even In
the event of a consolidation, accord
ing to County School Superintendent
Brenton Vedder. If the districts join
it will mean, however, that a larger
high school will have to be construct
ed in the near future.
"The consolidation," said Professor
Vedder, "will mean greater education
al opportunities in the high school
there." This, he explained, is due
to increased economic support which
will be at the command of the -district.
Petition for another consolidation
in the grammar school districts has
been filed with Superintendent vea-
rler. and an election authorized. . The
nfitiMon comes from the districts of
Carus, Hazeldale and Eldorado, asK
ing that the three schools be merged
into one in a centraal location. The
districts at present employ three
teachers, who are instructing in .sep-
. 1 J
araie schools, and a merger -wouiu
mean the establishment of a larger
school, better equipped, where two
teachers could adequately take charge
of the instruction.
The election in these three districts
will be held at their respective school
houses at 8 p. m., July 7.
Springbrook Would Divide
A petition from the Springbrook dis
trict has been presented to the iis-
trict boundary board for the division
of the district into two separate un
its.. The hearing on this question
will take place before the board in
the circuit court rooms at 10 o'clock
a. m., July 9. The matter of the
division of a district is settled by the
boundary board upon a hearing, and
does not require a special election
