UNJUSTIFIED
It fs apparent that the finance
committee of the city council acted
hastily and without being . fully ad
vised as to the disposition of the lo
cal banking institutions inj making
a deal under which it agreed to pay
to M. D. Latourette $300 as a com
mission for floating municipal bonds
to the value of $30,000. The bank of
Oregon City and the Bank of-Commerce
were willing to take 20,000 cf
the issue, leaving $10,000 to "Mr. La
tourette's bank, but this fact was not
known to the committee, which evi
dently figured that the city was get
ting off easy because a Portland
bonding concern had asked $900 foi
a -selling) brokerage. It is related
that Mr. Latourette was perfectly
willing to leave the amount to be
paid him to the judgment of the com
mittee, but there is no evidence to
show that in order to earn his com
mission that. Latourette induced the
ether banks to take their quota of the
bonds.
Banks and City
In fact John R Humphry's, cashier
of the Bank of Commerce, was first
approached by Dr. H. S. Mount, vicV
president of the bank and a member
of the council upon the theory that
the local banks might help the city
out of a hole by financing the issue.
Mr. Humphrys' consented to such an
arrangement, with the understanding
that the other banks would bear their
share of the burden, and he was
amazed to learn that Latourette was
to receive $300 for performing no
service, other than that rendered by
the Banjj of Commerce and the Bank
of Oregon City, for which they re
ceived no compensation whatever.
The order to pay the commission
of $300 and also a fee of $."0 to At
torney O. D. Eby went through the
council at. its . July meeting, but the
Latourette warrant was held up and
no delivery of it made when Dr.
Mount protested " to City Recorder
Kelly that the city had no right to
pay a sum in excess of $100 without,
an. ordinance. Mr. Bridge's explana
tion of the action of the committee at
the last meeting of the council was
certainly based upon the belief that
unless help was sought and paid to
that the bonds could not be sold.
Split Suggested
Meanwhile the deal has been made
and the finance committee recognizes
a moral obligation to pay $300 to
Mr. Latourette, who has made no sug
gestion that he split bis commission
three ways with the banks that came
to the rescue of the city and who per
formed the same service that he did.
ine ordinance autnorizing tiie pay
ment passe its nrst reading last
Wednesday night and will come up
for final passage at a special meeting
on August 19th. Four councilmen,
VanAuken, Bridges, Metzner and
Cross, voted for the ordinance on its
first reading, with Petzold, Albright
end Krassig absent. It is presumed
that Mr. Albright, who was a party to
the committee arrangement, will vote
lor the measure on its final passage,
while Dr. Mount is against it, with
Krassig and Petzold as uncertainties.
The suggestion has been advanced
that Mr. Latourette might refund the
gift.lo the city to be used in defray
ing the expenses of another city elec
tion, in the event that such an elec
tion shall be called to validate the
bonds One of the local banks has
been advised that the bonds are ille
gal and if this is true, they will have
to remain in the vaults of the Ore- J
gon City banks until they mature, as j
they would have no negotiable value
and bonding houses would not touch
them. Should (the validity of the

The mayor of Oregon City has not yet taken to
heart the example set by the mayor of Waukegan, Illi-
I nois, who by some hook or crook stopped the whistling
1 nuisance. So the Espee continues to make night hideous
and day uncomfortable by shrieking through the city at
all hours, making telephone conversation wholly impos-
sible for those who live within a block of the track.
For the benefit of those who know not what real
1 whistling is like, we present a whistling schedule that we
understand is endorsed by the interstate commerce com-
mission. It's a work of art, and it may well be suggested
that the waste of steam would pay the wages of a flag-
1 man at Oregon City. Stop, look and listen to this :
1 short whistle stop apply brakes.
1 " 2 somewhat longer whistles release brakes.
I 1 long and 3 short whistles flagman go back and
protect .rear of train. .
3 short and 1 long whistle flagman go ahead
when headright expires or trains are stopped at automat-
ic block signals on single track.
4 long, whistles flagman returns from the west.
5 long whistles flagman returns from the east.
1 3 long whistles when running means train has part-
ed and should be repeated until answered.
2 short whistles is an answer to any signal not oth-
I erwise provided for.
3 short whistles when train is standing back.
I 4 short whistles is a call for signals.
1 1 long and two short whistles is to call attention of
1 yard engines, extra trains, etc., etc., to signals displayed
!- for a following section.
i 2 long and two short whistles, approaching stations
1 mail crane locations, etc. - . ,
I 2 short whistles close together, repeated three times
1 means air brakes are sticking.
2 short whistles and 1 long, transfer of air.
i ' '
There are a few other whistle signals, all of them
having a meaning, but this is not the Congressional Rec
ord, simply a newspaper.

CLACKAMAS COUNTY MAKES BIG
STRIDES IN RURAL, CLUB WORK
transactions of the
hands they are.
"When the boys' and girls'' clubs ot
Clackamas county exhibit at the Stace
fair this year, they will enter nothing
but pure bred animals.
This, according to Mrs L. Purcell,
is the first year that his lifts been the
case. Mrs. Purcell is the county club
leader and has charge of the activi
ties of over four hundred boys and
' i girls who are engaged in carrying out
the prescribed work in thirteen ditter
ent projects.
In one case, however, -grade animals
will be exhibited, but this is in a class
where the hogs are raised " for
pork, and where pure-breds are not
takec into the classification.
The club work in the county has
been very successful, says Mis. Pur
cell, not only from the actual results
accomplished, which have been credit
able, but from the interest manifest
ed by the older people as well as by
the boys and girls.
Work is National
Club work is based upon national
rather than local activity, and is . in
charge of a central office, with head
quarters in Washington, I. C. The
country is sub-divided, the work being
handled by county club leaders. In
this state, the- Oregon Agricultural
college does most of the advisory
work.
The club plan has a two-fold ob
ject in view; the training of - the
younger generation in the actual
handling of stock and farm produce,
and the teaching them of the value

seed, and modern methods.
"It takes as much brains to be a
farmer as to be a business man or
a professional man" saia jvirs. rur
cell. "The successful farmer must
lealize this and put his work upon a
business basis."
Three Divisions Made
Club work is divided into three
main .divisions; livestock, farm pro
duce, and home economics. This
latter classification is for the girls,

whose body was returned from,
France, were held Sunday afternoon
The sen-Ices were under the auspices
of the Molalla post of the American
Legion. The Woodburn firing souad

GIVEN TO STATE
WASHINGTON, August 5.
The navy department is unwill
ing to direct use of the old bat
tleship Oregon as a training ship
for reservists but will turn the
historic .vessel over to the state '
of Oregon for preservation if
congress will pass' the neces
sary legislation for that . pur
pose. This 5s the substance of a let
ter received by Representative
Sinnot from Theodore Roose
velt, acting secretary of the
navy. -
ing part in the activities of clubs en
gaged in working out any of the pro
jects under the two former classifica
tions. The projects embraced in the
work are corn, potatoes, vegetable
gardening, poultry, pork, calves, sheep
canning, sewing, cookery," home mak-
inlg, rabbits,, milk-goatsi, dairy herd
record keeping and rural home beau
tification. Clackamas county has ac
tive clubs in all of these brancnea
with the exception of the latter two.
A number of the projects have sub
divisions. In the calf classification,
three sub-projects relate tc dairy and
two to beef.
Clubs are established with a min
imum of five members. They are
headed by a local club leader, who Is
some older person interested in the
project which the club undertakes.
The club members meet together at
least six times a year, and keep de
tailed accounts of what they are ac
complishing. The judging time comes
at the county fair, when the clubs are
rated upon their exhibit and their
report. '
Stocx Purchased
In a number of cases throughout
the county, the club members have
purchased their own pure-bred live
stock borrowing the money from the
bank, and paying for the animals out
of what they have made. One lad
bought four guernsey calves at $400
a head. He will pay for them in throe
years time.
The club members keep detailed ac
count of the progress of their crops
or stock. They compute their earn
ings after figuring in even their own
labor at a given rate per hour. The'
are taught the value of modern meth
ods of accounting so that they know
exactly what their business is cost
ing and producing, as well as how
much more they receive from pure
bred stock and good seed.
Last year the clubs of the state
produced products valued at $111.
584. t6, with a net profit of $55,942.90.
These figures shew that the club
work assumes the proportions of a
good sized industry, altho it is scat
tered over all of Oregon. In the
United States there are over two
million boys and girls engaged in
club work, and it is estimated that
more than seventy-five percent of
those who start in with the work con
tinue.
May Take Work
In Clackamas county, nine percent
of the students of school age are en-j
gaged in club work. This is in reali
ty a larger percentage than would ap-j
pear on the surface, as club work is j
primarily intended for rural districts,
and- a (good portion of the children of
pchoo: age live in the cities. The
work, however is open to the children
in the cities, especially the home
economics work which has cooking,
canning, and home beautification.
The Clackamas county canning
team last year won the Oregon cham
pionship at the state fair This year
the local team will go to Spokane.
where they will compete for the north
west championship. The team is
scheduled to leave Portland Septem
ber Tth. Members of the clubs exhibit
their produce at all of the farm shows
of the state and northwest. Prepar
ations are on hand now for the coun
ty fair which is to be held in Canby
next month. Following this the club
members will take part in the state
fair, as they will in,the Pacific Live
stock show and Western Winter Poul
try show, to be held in the state of
Washington. At the fairs last year,
the 313 clubs in the state won prizes
io the total value of more than $19,000

this reason, show a certain courtesv
and reserve. They must say "Please"

And yet they do not really "care

laughingly say behind our back-3,
"She's 'queer as DicR's hat band (how
ever Queer thit mar have heen.i ; what
a pity someone doesnt" tell her about
it!" But not they for the courageous
Ect. What is it to them? They can
tolerate, or u&, or give us a wide berth
at their pleasue.
They would not go out of their way
to do us a favor, remember us In ad
versity, nor stick up for us among
ih--se who are critical. They do not
come to see us when we are ill, loan
us money when we are. in need, cheer
us when we art down, h:ve faith in us
when we are ambitious, nor stand by
as through thick and thin sometimes
pretty thin.
Verily the close friends who knows
us and lovc-s us in spite of it is not
to be despised is the greatest hap

Thanks be for close friends.

Before the war we had only aboui
six thousand nurses in service in
America. Now there is a demand for
fifty thousand additional. All the
country is awake to our lamentable
health conditions and determined to
correct the neglect of health which
was made apparent by the physical
examination of soldiers. Public Healih
Nurses are the means chosen to look
after these health matters. There are
immense opportunities open to .young
women choosing U-i3 work, and a wide
variety of specialties to choosen from.

THE WOMAN CITIZEN
The Highways and Unsightlir.ess
A lady from Europe, visiting our
country, lamented that such privat
information as remedies for personal
diseases was glaringly printtd in im
mense letters along the shores nf the
Hudson river, and that those who
oaine to admire our beautiful scenery
were forced to eonsioer bodily ills.
As housewives, we would scorn to
keep the mop and scrab-pail in the
front hall; yet we complacently let all
sorts of unsightly utilities make our
streets ugly.
We allow merchants to leave shabby
awn ngs flapping in the breez.eto pro-
ieel large and inartistic signs over
our side-walks, to have wares clutter
ed in front of their stores to attract
attention. We permit the beauty of
our open spaces to' be barred, by glar
ing bill-boards. We grant telephone
and electric companies the right to
put up poles in our avenues, some-

Summer Drinks
Iced cocoa is. a, delightful drink.
Make it a little stronger than usual
and cool it in the ice box. Add vanilla
just before, serving, and put a dip of
whipped cream on top.
Egg Drinks
To make Egg Lemonade, beat on
egg, add fruit syrup too sweeten, the
juice if one lemon and a cup and half
of water.
Milk-Shake, or Egg Nog, r? still
more nutritious. Beat one egg. sweet
en, add milk or whipped cream, flavor
with nutmeg or vanilla or any desired
flavor, beat with an egg beater and
shake thoroughly.
Acid Phosphate
An acid phosphate is a nerve tonic
as well as A pleasing drink The acid
phosphate may be substituted fur
lemon in any acid drinks.
Root Beer
In thp good old days folks used to
gather their own Barasparillq, dande
lion, yellow dock, hops and burdock
and concoct their own root beer "trots
the ground up, literally. Now we
buy at the drug store the foundation
for our root beer and add tc it the
yeast, water and work, following the
directions on the bottle. There is :t
new fad among health seekers, which
may have a solid basis of ncience, t-'j
eating of yeast in some form daily to
get the necessarj- vitamines. Root
beer and Koumiss are vehicles for in
troducing yeast into the system in 'i
pleasant form:
everything for the salad may be
cleaned onSaturday and stowed away
'n the. ice box wrapped in a dp.mp
cloth. If cans, of things are to be open
ed this may be done on Saturday and
the contentsi emptied in to a crock.
Buns, made on Saturday, may be
warmed for Sunday dinner by setting
m the oven in a tightly covered pan.
T.-.e desert may be prepared on
Saturday. For summer, a tapioca
pudding with fruit is appropriate. To
the tapioca, cooked and cook, the fruit
and whipped cream or egg white are
added on Sunday. Nabiscos or cookies
or cake are acceptable with the fruit
tapioca.
For Sunday night iuach, serve broth,
made on Saturday, and wafers, eigg
sandwiches, for which the eggs were
hard boiled on Saturday, fruit, cake
and candy. .
With Sunday's menu written out
and pinned up before us, we will find
th.-.t the work it. requires can ba
cb inked in with small extra effort
while we are getting Saturday's meals.

in the process.
We allow builders and diggers to
Ieave piles of material for long time,
in our roadways. We seem to fee!
that what is everybody's business is
not ours, and while we desire private
beauty, we are content with public
ugliness.
But some cities are not like that.
In many, Jie poles are giving way to
underground cables in pips, the sign
boards are disappearing, or are being
made artistic, and all signs are pro
hibited from extending out over the
sidewalk.
For those who really wish such in
formation as signs give, there is sub
stituted in some cities the artistic
bulletin post with a directory arrang
ed on four sides in such a manner
that it can be easily found by those
interested.

propriately links the two words together.
Each individual should have his own
brush "and comb as properly as his

escape becoming more and more baid.

Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Sharp, of Glad

river at six o'clock Saturday after
noon.. The body of the lad was recovered
shortly after the mishap, but all ef
forts of recussitatii.n were futile.
. Young Sharp was unable to swim,
and vas wading iR the river near the
large eddy below the railroad bridge.
Suddenly he sank, plunging head first
into the water. The lads friends on
the bank who saw his plight called
for help, and Frank Murphy, who was
employed on Billy Goat Island, con
siderable distance away, jumped into
the river and swam to where Errol
disappeared. Securing a boat, search
was made and Murphy recovered the
body less than 15 minutes after the
boy sank. Docto. McLean was called,
and he worked over the lad for near
ly two hours, without success.
It is believed that death was due
to heart failure rather than actual
drowning.
Clark is survived by three sisters
and two brothers, all younger than
himself. The family, which was liv
