CROWN-WILLAMETTE'S CINCH ON
LEAGUE PENNANT IS WEAKENED
(By Pete Laurs)
Sherwood clouded the hopes of the
Crown-Willamette Sunday when they
defeated the papermakers 2-to-l in a
ten inning game of errorless ball
played on the Sherwood field.
A victory would have cinched the
pennant for the C-Ws, and they still
have two games to play, either jf
which will decide the champions',!.
"Chick" Baker was the ftar for tho
"Onion City" lads for it was his 'iun
drive in the 10th inning with the
bases full that won the game. Judi,
heavy-hitting shortstop of the paper
makers, brought himself in the lime
light by tying the score in the eighth

U. S. Sends Formal
Conference Notice
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Formal
invitations will be sent today to
Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan
and China to attend the conference
on disarmament and Far Eastern
questions at Washington November
11.
The text or the invitations will not
be available here before late in the
day, it was announced at the state
department. The invitations are un
derstood to be identical and brief,
They will be sent directly to the for
eign offices and copies handed to the
powers here.
Preliminary negotiations have made
certain the acceptance of the invita
tions and of agreement to open the
conference on Armistice day.
Upon the receipt of this informa
tion, details of caring for the visitors
can be worked out.
Further exchanges of opinion on
the agenda probably will continue.
All thought of preliminary confer
ences have been abandoned.
The cur?e of such improvement is the 1000 feet
here, and the half mile there that is in bad con
dition. Detours while roads are in course of construc
tion spell progress. No one condemns a com
munity for ths hardships of travel which ar-j
necessitated by the building of more highways
But the highway with the hole in the middle is
like a bridge which has a bad bump at each ap
proach. It ruins the effect of the entire improve
ment and gives rise to profane condemnation
rather than enthusiastic approval
Clackamas county has already spent so much,
and gone so far in the improvement of its roads
that it can well afford to completed tho
iod.
A community's highways
are not judged by the pave
ment, but by the corduroy.
And the solution is to fill th.
gap.
CONTRACT FOR NEW
AWARDED BY BOARD
A. Wall Bid Lowest; Project
Is First of its Kind Ever
Proposed in County
The contract for the partial con
struction of the dormitory at Colton
was awarded Monday night at a meet
ing of the school directors, to A. Wall
of Colton.
The contract price is $7,900, for the
construction of tho building which is
to be partially unfinished. The frame
of the structure is erected and the
first floor and basement completed.
The upper floor and the haif-floor
constituting the attic of the building
will be completed at a later date.
The dormitory, which is to be used
for both teachers and out of town
students, is the first of its kind at
tempted by any school district in this
county. It is computed that the pro
bable cost of the completed building
will be somewhere double the cost of
the first section.
Construction of the building is to
be started as soon as possible.
Although plans for the financing of
the project have not been decided
upon, it is believed that warrants
will be issued in payment, although
bonds may later be found necessary
The assessed valuation of the district
is large enough to make the cost of
the building comparitively a slight
burden.

CHICAGO'S municipal pier, one of

public structures, is likewise one of
the stupendous engineering feats of

feet of dockage space and more than
450,000 square feet of freight storage
space, but is also a magnet of enor

Lake Michigan for 3,000 feet and is
292 feet wide. In its construction
there were used 20,000 piling, 1,500,
000 cubic yards of sand and clay and
50,000 cubic feet of re-inforced con

and 80,000 window panes. Although
sub-divided into a headhouse (th

Street cars ascend an incline to

Town's Natural Advantages.
The little river Arrow no bigger
than a good-sized brook runs past the
outskirts of the town of Redditch, Eng
land, on its way to join Shakespeare's
Avon near Bidford, a few miles above
Stratford-on-Avou. Along the bed of
the Arrow you can find smooth peb
bles of a peculiarly hard crystalline
nature ; they are known locally as
"emery stones," and were invaluable
fpr polishing needles not only when
simple handprocesses were in vogue,
but also for a considerable time later.
The makers gave a few pence to chil
dren for picking a dozen or two out
of the shallows of the brook. Thus
Redditch could polish Its needles more
cheaply than those towns which had
to pay carriage for emery stones, and

An ordinance has been introduced
before the city. It is very likely this
ordinance will pass now and become
a law. Besides the annoyance to peo
ple living in the city of having cows
break into their flower and vegetable
gardens, farmers who come to the city
are seriously troubled by the same
cattle who get very familiar with
their wagons While it will be an in
convenience to a few who have been
accustomed to pasture their cows on
the streets, there will be much bene

city. Mr. Shively who now has a store
on Seventh Street has plans drawn lor
a large frame block, to take the place
of his present building, to contain
five stores below and a fine hall
ibove. Seventh Street by another
year will be one of the City's stretes
that can be shown with pride to
strangers and on) that will reflect
credit on the city.
Messrs. Harding and Lattourette
have let the contract of the big brick
block which they will erect on Main

There Is an old proverb to the ef
fect that a good boss makes a good
workman. There must be something
in it. The most successful employ
,ers are those who have the most worth
while employees. Part of the suc
cess, no doubt, is in picking the em
ployee. Another part, perhaps, is In
letting him alone. If he is worth keep
ing he Is worth trusting.
"Joseph Pulitzer never dictated to
me," said Samuel G. Blythe, accord
ing to an exchange. "He never told
me what to write or what not to.
Only once in my life did he even make
a request of me."
Blythe was for years the star man
in the great blind editor's Washing
ton bureau. Now and then, as Blythe
explained, Mr. Pulitzer went to some
trouble to prove in the editorial col
umn that Blythe was suffering from a
prolapsus of the intellect. Sometimes
he massed facts to show that his opin
ion differed monumentally from that
of his Washington luminary. But he
never dictated, said Blythe. Or al
most never. But once he tfd ask
a favor.
"I haAkbeen sharpshooting at the
manner in which a great firm of archi
tects was abusing the exterior of the
White House," said Blythe, "when one
day I got a wire from the old man. It
ran something like this:
" 'Unless you have a deep personal
feeling in the matter I wish you would
cease further reference to the rebuild
ing of the White House. Please un
derstand this is not a criticism of what
you have written. But the same firm
of architects is building a house for
me, and if you d.on't lay off I'll not
get into it for two years."
Blythe's conclusion was that an em
ployer of that sort is fairly sure to
have employees who will rob graves,
sit up all night, or tear a thesaurus to
tatters for him.
I'-'-:-'-.,, everything a Congo native
does is done at the dictation of super
stition. Witch doctors and their
strange and somewhat horrible "medi
cine" are in demand for all sorts of
curious things. Their charms are
"worked" for everything from curing
sickness to bringing bad fortune upoa
an enemy. There may be a demand
that a curse be removed from a whole
town, or perhaps a curse Is to be Uild
upon a single enemy.
One of the leas: anpleasant acxi
most innocent of charms is that which
is "worked" to invoke good luck in
hunting. It has a certain picturesque
quality that Is engaging.
The Lower Congo is not a sports
man's paradise, says a writer. Game
Is not always to be easily found.
Therefore, when a hunter whose prow
ess is admired and envied is about to
die a curious thing happens. Just
before he expires a few threads are
drawn from his loin cloth. These
threads are tied about the arms of
young man. This young man then lias
a specific duty in life and certain very
definite obligations.
He superintends the burial of the
mighty hunter. Then, whenever the
hunters of his neighborhood are about
to set out the young man goes with
them to the mighty hunter's grave.
He kneels with his face toward the
hunters and his back to the grave. The
hunters approach on hands and knees
until close, then they dance about tbe
young man and the grave to the rub-a-dub
of a "charmed" drum. Palm wine
Is poured over the grave, while each
hunter drinks to the departed.
A bit of the mud formed of the wine
and the earth on the grave Is rubbed
on the forehead, the arms and the in
steps of each hunter. This Is sup
posed to give the hunters keenness,
sureness of aim and awiftness in the
chase.
Local Boy Tells Story of
Alaska Wreck; Charge of
Inefficient Crew Denied
' "The reports that there was a panic
upon the ill-fated Alaska, and that he
crew was inefficient, are erroneous,
and gross exaggerations."
This is the statement made by
Ralph Armstrong, of this city, a mem
ber of the crew of the Alaska, iu
writing to his mother of his experi

CARS NEED MORE CARE
With the summer motoring season
here and the call of the open road at
hand the time of year when owners use
their cars more than at any other sea
son they are naturally more eager than
usual to so operate their cars that
they will get the maximum efficiency
As an aid in this direction, timely ad
vice is given to pwners by Jake S.
Risley, manager of the Clackamas
County Auto Co., local distributor of
Studebaker cars. In an interview on
service, he says:
"In general, motor car owners should
bear in mind that the heat of summer,
combined with the harder and more
consistent use to which they put their
cars at this season of the year, causes
more evaporation than at other times.
This applies not only to water in the
radiator but also to oil.
Radiator Needs Attention
"During the hot weather months at
tention should be frequently given to
the radiator; the owner should see
that it is kept filled, and at intervals
it should be flushed out and filled with
clean water. In connection with effi
cient operation of the cooling system,
fan belt adjustment should be made.
for the fan is needed in summer. The
position of the spark lever should be
watched to see that it is kept in an ad
vanced position, thus assuring better
cooling of the motor.
"Minor parts, such as spring
shackles, wheePbearings, steering con
nections and universal joints require
oiling more often in summer. It is
well that a heavier grade of lubricat
ing oil be used in the motor, than in
colder w-eather, and oil should be
drained from the motor at intervals not
to exceed every 1,000. Better per
formance wil result when this is done.
"Careful attention should be direct
ed to the brakes to see that they ate
kept in as nearly perfect coqdition e.3
possible, for during the summer
months they get greater usage, with
more traffic to contend with and
more cars on the road.
Tires Need Watching
"Tire pressure should be watched
more closely on tires that have been
in use for a long period, because tires
expand more in "not weather. The
owner should have a tire gauge and
use it in inflating. In taking long
trips the owner should be provided
with a good spare tire-, and should
go over all tires during the trip to
s"o that they, have no defects.
"Every owner wants tc have hii;
car in the best possible condition
during the summer months, for it is
then he uses his automobile most. To
get this maximum efficiency, he must
exercise greater care in going over
the car."
