GLADSTONE PARTY
RETURNS FROM VISIT
THROUGHOUT ALASKA
Indian Settlements and Old
Relics of North Are
Seen on Trip
Mrs. Edith Galogly Dillard and sis
ter. Miss Maude, of Gladstone, have
returned from a trip to Alaska.
Leaving Seattle July 23 on the
steamer City of Seattle, they stopped
at a number of the Alaska points.
Among these were Ketchikan, where
they remained for four hours, Wrsn
gel, where they visited former college
friends of the University of Oregon;
Petersbuiig where they inspected the
phrimp cannery- The visitors were
allowed to purchase shrimps at the
reasonable price of a nickel for threa
dozen, and these were of unusual
size, som? of which measured five
iiiches in length. When the boat de
parted most all the passengers were
eating shrimp. They also visited
Chief Snake's, museum, where vari
ous kinds of Indian relics are dis
played, and in charge of his wife and
daughter eight years of age. The
chief died some time ago and h i d
family have since carried on the
museum, which is visited by hun
dreds of tourists each season The
eight year old daughter speaks the
English language fluently, and can
readily tell the name of every article
displayed and for which it is used.
The7 visited the grave of the- chief,
and it was a noticeable fact that the
grave was marked with totem poles
with carvings of fish, and if is pre
sumed by the visitors that Chief
Snake carried on the fishing industry
for many years in the Alaska country.
Close by there were other graves of
the Indians, and theso were marked
by similar totem poles.
Wrangle Garnets Bought
Some of the Wrangle garnets were
secured. These were in their rough
stone, and many tourists took ad
vantage of the trip here and secured
their share.
Wrangle is a small village, inhabi
tatert largely by Indians or half
breeds, who devote their time to fish
ing. This is located a: the mouth of
the Stikine river.
One of the cleanest fish canneries
visited was that owned b7 Libby, Mc
Neil & I,ibby, located at Taku har
bor. Here a visit of several hours
can be- of much Interest, for the visit
ors are given the privilege of wateh
iag the fish from the time they are
cooked to the time of canning. Just
before entering the building your
eye3 will be met with these words:
"A.ny one smoking here will be shot
at tight and no questions asiked."
As the Gallogly girls were not of the i
smoking type this was the least of

; Juneau has one of the finest muse-

sisters took advantage of this insti
tution and visited the wonderful
place, and were well paid for their
trip to Alaska in visiting this place
aione. 'the also were guests of
friends In this city.
Seaport Visited
Douglass was another seaport visit
ed, where one of the chief industries
Is fishing. The Treadwell mines,
considered at one time to be the great
est mine in tie world, was located.
More gold was secured from this mine
than any place, and It was the work
of a careless workman that caused
the big cave allowing the ocean to
enter. Since that time it is impossi
ble to work the mines. It was dur
ing the rush of gold seekers to Alas
ka, that attracted many to the Doug
lass mines.
A brief stop was made at Ft.' Sew
ard, which IB located near Haines.
The Gallogly girls say they have seen
large strawberries but nothing to
compare with these grown at that
place. Passengers invested and pur
chased some and brought them on
board the ship. These were sold at
five cents each, and required eight
lo make a box, making a box worth
40 cents. The boat arrived at th.j
port about 4:30 a. m.. almost too
early for most of the passengers u
leave, except for a few who purchased
the berries. Others peeked their
heads out of the state rooms and
took a "squint" at the town and then
to sleep again to wait for the next
stopping" place, which was Skaguay.
After reaching that city a number of
the passengers, incuding Miss Galog
ly and Mrs. Dilard boarded the White
Pass Or. Yukon railway for a trip to
Lake Bennett, one of the most pic

nett In 1837 where 10,000 people set
tied during the big rash for gold
seekers to Alaska. Now it is nothing
but a deserted village. Houses are
closed and but a few people are now
living there. After entering the Yn-
kon territory the luggage of the tour
ists was searched, but none were
guilty of breaking the law.
Glacier is Seen
While making the return trip other
places were visited. Paku glacier
Petersburg, which enters the ocean
from a side of a mountain, was onr
of the features of this trip. Immense
icebergs were seen in a. distance.
After reaching Seattle there was
still more to be seen by Mrs. Dillard
and Miss Gallogly before returning to
Gladstone, for they were guests ;f
Mr. and Mrs. A B. Cunningham, th
former author and a dean of the col
lege of Pnget Sound had trips plan
ned for their entertainment. One of
these was a trip to the Rainier Na
tional park, where they made their
headquarters at Paradise Inn. Nes
iiually glazier was visited and whil
making the trip to that place the at
tention of the tourists were drawn to
the beautiful flowers growing at all
sides The traffic officers are o n
hand to prevent any accident to mo
torists over the narrow roads ieadins
upon the mountain. In places it is
filmost impossible for automobiles to
piss, and when riding over these you
can look down for hundreds of feet.
At one of these places where the road
winds over the mountain you can
look down over 1400 feet, and is
enough to give you the cold "shivers"
even when you have a careful driver
at the wheel.
It was while visiting this park
that an old silver tipped bear made
his appearance, and soon there were
camera fiends runninf from all direc
tions After the 40th arrived, old
Bruin thought it enough and "beat it
to the tal! timber," never to appear
Although the Gladstone young wo-
knen have enjoyed many vacation
days, this 18-day trip to and from
Alaska and to Rainier park was th?
most enjoyable and instructive they
have ever taken.
SIXTEEN LOCAL ELKS
RETURN FROM STATE
MEET AT MARSHFIELD
Delegates Are Guests at Big
Clam Bake, Barbecue,
and Banquet
With a warm spot in their heart3
of Marshfield hospitality, sixteen Ore
gon City Ellis have returned from the
Coos Bay City after attending the H.
P. O. E. convention there the last
three days of last week.
The delegates from here were H.
Henningson, F. J. Noble, F. Curran,
H. V. Streibig, Harry Seiler, Milt
Price, Jerry Baty, R. Beattie, Ed
Vonderahe. Mark Roos. George Har
rington. J. J. Tobin, s. Stevens,
Wm. Krassig and Wm Sthromyer.
"Tne Marshfield people certainly
did everything to 'entertain Vi) visit
01-3, ' said Judge Noble. "There
wasn't a dull moment in the entire
three days. They had clam bakes
barbecues, dances, excursions, ban
quets, auto trips, meetings, parade),
and then had them over again."
The only delay of the trip occurred
at the outset, when owing to a rail
road wreck, the local delegates who
went by train were delayed. A smash
had occurred on the track on which
their train was routed, the train ar
rived at 11:30 instead of 7 o'clock
Wednesday evening.
One cf the features of the conven
tion, according to Judge Noble, was
the wonderful courtesy extended by
the Marshfield automobile owners
Cars were available everywhere for
the guests, at all hours. Auto owners
donated their machines and their
lime willingly, takicfr the delegates
on their missions around the city and
for drives over the country's high
ways.
The convention was attended by
delegated from all of the lodges in
the state. It is estimated that more
than 3000 people were served at the
big clam bake on Saturday.

Developments In Industry of
Paper
A striking illustration of how the
paper-making industry has progressed,
is seen in the immense plant of the
Abitibi Power and Paper Company,
Ltd., located at Iroquois Falls, On
tario, Canada, capable of producing
160,000 tons of newsprint paper an
nually. Three month were required, years
ago, to complete the production of a
sheet of paper about two feet square,
the entire process of which was done
by hand. Now a single machine In
stalled in the Abitibi mill, rolls out
a sheet of paper 145 inches wide and
200 mils long, every day. For this
quantity of paper, pulpwood from ten
acre of forest is required
From the company's own timber
lands, the wood necessary for thr
manufacture of paper is floated down
the Abitibi river to the nM, a dis
tance of 50 to 100 miles. The tim
ber is then 3onveyed into the mill
where it is sawed into length of 2 feet
and the bark removed. A part is
made Into ground wood pulp by ve'ry
large grinders while another portion
is chipped and screened Into uniform
size and then conveyed to huge diges
ters having a capacity of 14 tons per
charge, where it is cooked and con
verted into sulphite pulp. The pro
per proportion of both the ground
wood and sulphite pulp is then com
bined in large mixing tanks ultimate
ly the mixture reaches the paper ma
chine. The hew 158-inch Pusey and Jones
Fourdrinier machine with Westing
house electric drivie and automati
cally controlled speed regulation . Is
the most remarkable innovation in
the paper-making world. The ma
chine is over 200 feet Ion, weighs
many hundred tons and represents an
investment of several hundred thous
PROHIBITION LAWS TO
BE ENFORCED UNDER
NEW FEDERAL SYSTEM
WASHINGTON, Aug 19. Work of
reorganizing the prohibition enforce
ment unit of the Internal Revenue
Bursau is proceeding speedily and
satisfactorily. The new reorganiza
lion plan put In effect by Prohibition
Commissioner Major Roy Haynes. has
been installed n about three-fourths
of the states and territories and it Ss
exected that all of the work will be
completed by the first of September
at the latest.
Commissioner Haynes plan of reor
ganization is the very simple one of
placing all of the activities in connec
tion with the administration and en
forcement of the Prohibition Amend
ment in the hands of one man in each
state, holding him responsible for all
results and centralizing in him all
necessary authority to obtain results
in his state. Under the old system
there were state directors and feder
al inspectors and a total separation, of
the permissive and enforcement de
partments. Under the system there
was, even under the most favorable
circumstances, a division of authority
and responslblity. Very frequently
friction arose between the two
branches and to use a common expres
sion, "the buck was passed "
Under the reorganization the per
missive and enforcement features will
be coordinated under the state direc
tors, thus eliminating the chances of
friction, uncertainty and confusion
which constantly existed under the
old system. This ordination of
course, makes for more direct, more
speedy and therefore, more effective
admm istration.
In addition to these advantages over
the old system, the reorganization will
effect considerable savings in opera
tion. In the single item of salaries
there will be a saving of $100,000 Dup
lication of inspections and invest!?
tions will be eliminated, as under the
old system such work was performed
by state directors and also by federal
inspectors. There will be an. elimin
ation of voluminous correspondence,
much of it duplication between indi
viduals and U. S. District Attorney.-!
on one hand and both the state dir
ectors and federal Inspectors on the
other. There will also be an elimin
ation of duplicate lUes and records.
Major Haynes believes in centraliz
ing all authority in the state head and
holding him absolutely accountable tor

IN GAME WITH
BT PETE LAURS
Crown Willamette won' the cham
pionship of the Willamette Valley
league by defeating Arleta 5-to-4,
Sunday, on the West T,inn diamond.
Arleta, who took over the franchise
of Oswego, started the game with a
rush by scoring 2 runs in the first
inning. ,
The C--W. boys had a hard time of
getting started. For five innings the
napermakers played like grammar
school lads. It was not until the fifth
inning when the score stood 3-0 in
ravor of Arleta that the mill boys
started to fight.
Mohler started to do the hurling
for the papermakersL " He pitched fair
ball but had very poor support. Dur
ing the four innings that he pitched,
he allowed five hits, three runs, and
struck out four men. Manager Reams
"pulled" Mohler and sent in Lorene '
Stone to stop tne hard hitting Arleta j
bunch. When the new pitcher went j

understood that those making a goo-1

On account of this it is expected tha
a great many more arrests and prose

It is understood tne prohibition en

violators of the law, in addition to

menace to law enforcement is not in

wholesale bootlegger, who because o
the' enormous profits involved, goes
into the game of violating the law or.
a tremendous scale. Asi a rule this

wealth and influence and very often
of social position. They are not to be
deterred merely by the payment of
fines but they do fear criminal prose

PAYMENT OF
IATOIJRETTE
IS VALIDATED
The payment of $300 to M. D. La
tourette. for services In the recent
lloatine of $30,000 of crregon City
refunding bonds, was validated Fri
day night, when in special session the
city council passed the ordinance for
the appropriation.
Dr. Mount raised a strenuous oh
jection to the passage of the ordi
nance upon the igTounds that ch
manner of proceeding was irregular
and that the -claim was unjustified.
He cited the fact that the warrant
had been issued before the ordinance
was introduced, and stated that Mr.
Latourette's aid in the sale of the
bonds did not justfy the commission
In response to Dr. Mount's ques
tions the finance eommitte said that
the bonds had been sold through Mr
Latcurettes work and that they be
lieved him entitled to the payment

what Irrefewlair, City Attorney Eby
and Reorder Kelly staUd that the
passage of the ordinance would vali

so desired. It could repudiate the

waxed warm, and several times near

of stuff on the ball and ought to make
good. "Lefty" Heiman pitched the
entire game for Arleta, he allowed six
hits, struck out eight men
There was a rumor golug around
that Arleta would protest the game,
because the back stop was not ninety
feet back of the home plate. Be
cause of this two runs were made by
C.-W. Heiman, Arleta's pitcher threw
a bai lthat hit home plate and
bounced over the backstop. One play

third: they both came in. It was
fully understood between the two
captains that if a ball went over the
backstop, the batting team could
bring in as many runs as was possi
ble. Seeing that this agreement was
made Arleta has not protest coming.

GOING
"Millions for construction, bat not one cent for upkeep.
Such, has been the folly of road construction for many years
past. Counties over the state, states over the nation have sunk
vertible gold mines into their roads, and today the tangible re
salt from these expenditures is negligible.
The result for this waste is that no, definite program of preser
vation of the highway once built, has been inaugurated It is
well enough to talk about permanent roads, but there is no road
so permanent that it will stand up under the strain of modern
travel without upkeep and occasioned repair. This is particularly
true of semi-temporary roads such as macadam, but it is also
true of pavements.
One method of "upkeep" ia the defense of the highways, the
saving of them from wantom abuse. Prevention of overloading
is one method of defending the highways, and it is defense from
a form of abuse that is seldom reckoned at its full dtstructive
ness. The state officials who are conducting the campaign
against overloading tell of striking examples where it has been
proven that loo heavy a load is fatal even to the best road that
was ever laid.
The state and the county are investing hitherto unh&ardof sums
in the building of highwas. Futuro generations are being mortgaged

EASTERN EUROPE IS
FACING NAKEDNESS
WASHINGTON", D. C. Aug. 12.
Eastern and central Europe, and par
ticularly the children, is nearer naked
ness than it has been at any time
since the close of the Napoleonic
wars. In a recent review of pres
ent European conditions the Amer
ican Administration announced:
"From the standpoint of food condi
tion are better; from the standpoint
of clothing, they are worse."
All observers agree that the 'need
will reach a climax next winter.
Where no clothes have been bought
since J91'5s iexeept by the sale of
the accumulated stores of years are
bound to be exhausted in time, and
that limit has now been reached In
most families. This is as true in the
home of the formerly well-to-do, who
are the new poor, as in the homes of
laborers and peasants.
Exchange Is Cause
The chief reason why Europeans
cannot buy clothes is the depreciation
of their currency. Americans little
realize what havoc this depreciation
has wrough in the economic struc
ture of the old world. It has brougnt
the value of what was once a comfort
able income in Vienna, 15,000 crowns
or $3,000 a year, to $30. Polish money
has fallen twice as far as the money
of Austria; in Warsaw 10.000 marks,
once worth $2,500 In American money,
will now bring only- $10
The effect of this money situation
upon clothing Is clear when it is real
ized that Central and Eastern Europe
import their clothing or the raw ma
terials of clothing from countries
whose money is normal or nearly nor
mal. Hence, in Vienna a suit of
clothes costs a university professor
three months' salary. A pair of shoes
cannot be bought in Poland with
out a family's going hungry for a
month.
So desperate is the situation babies
are bora with no provisions made for
clothing them and the sick in the hos
pitals are despondent upon paper
bandages. American Red Cross work
ers say that the number of mothers in
Europe who will be nnable to provide
clothing for their new-born babes will
pass the million mark. Hundreds of
thousands of children will nave no
shoes when cold weather comes unless
they are provided in advance by
American relief organizations.
Clothes to be Gathered
The American Friends' Service
Committee has united with the Amer
ican Red Cross in a joint summer col
lection of used and unused garments
to meet this situation as far as pos
sible. The drive will be natlon-wid.
Those who want to know how they
can help should apply to the nearest
Red cross Chapter or other Red Cross
represntatlve. Only garments which
are strong, sensible, and serviceable
are worth paying freight on across
the water. Shoes must be In good
condition and tied in pairs. Knitted
garments, especially stockings and
sweaters, will be badly needed. Baby
clothing; new or vised, uncut muslin
and flannelette: strong cloth for
suits, yarn, even thread in great quan
tities, should be accumulated
The main, colecting point for the
Joint campaign is the big American
Red Cross Warehouse, Bush Termin
al, Brooklyn, N. Y. Red Cross workers
will have specific shipping Instruc
tions. Goods may also be shipped to
the Warehouse of the American
Friends Service Committee, 15th A
Chery Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. All ship
ments should be prepaid.
This clothing must be made Or col
lected during the summer months in
order to reach Europe before cold
weather.. Clothing that is not desig
nated for a particular country will be
destributed by the two organizations
according to the greatest need. Don
ors may, however, specify the coun
try to which they wish their gifts to
go.

THE LIMIT
ed upon them. Protection of the roads insures
that-"both today and tomorrow will see a servic
able highway still in use.
The campaign against overloading Is attacked
by those few who, unmindful of the harm they
are doing to public highways, desire to load tiWr
trucks to the fullest capacity. Sane minded mo
torists realize the value of sensible limits, even
on truck tonnage. ,
Defense of the highways is a new system. It
belongs in the same class with highway upkeep.
It took years to teach the roadhuilder?
that they were not through when a sur
face was laid , The found that it also had
be kept in repair. They are discovering now
that tne roads must be de
fended against wantom abuse
if they are to deliver their
maximum in mileage to the
public, in tourists and indus
trial service.
HOME BREW
NOT ALLOWED
BY NEW LAW
The amendment passed by the
house of representatives, in regard to
the issuance of search warrants, to
federal officials, does not change the
status of the prohibition laws in the
state, or in Clackamas county. Neith
er does it sanction the manufacture
of "home brew."
This is the interpretation given by
District Attorney Livy Stipp, in ex
plaining the application of the federal
amendment to the existing laws. Mr.
Stipp's opinion is directly contradic
tory to the general conclusion drawn
by "the man in the street' as the re
sult of the passage of the amendment
by the lower house in congress.
Statute Not Qualified
The federal law, Mr. Stipp explains
does not qualify the state statute
which prohibits the manufacture of
alcoholic liquors for beverage pur
pose-. There is some doubt as to
whether or not the Volstead act su
perceeds the state laws, but as this
has never been passed on in the
United States Supreme court, decis
Ions of the lower courts are rendered
upon the assumption that the state
laws are not snperceedod
Judge Bean, of the federal district
court for Oregon has already ruled
that no federal search could l:e made
without evidence showing that liquor
was being manufactured for sale.
This ruling has been In effect in Ore
gon for some time, and is practically
the same as that included in the con
gressional amendment.
This provision, however, enly af
fect the federal officers, and has no
bearing upon the state statute. The
great majority of arrests and prose
cutions in liquor cases are made b
officers under the state law , The
state law entirely prohibits the man
ufacture of alcholic beverages.
Booze Not ''Sanctioned"
The amendment passed by the
house, says Mr. Stipp, should not he
misconstrued as a "sanctioning" of
manufacture of booze for home use.
It merely prohibits the issuance of a
warrant for search without evidence
that the liquor is being sold. It does
not preclude prosecution on such
charge, provided that there is evl
aenco enoutgn ror conviction, even
though not secured through actual
search by the federal officials.
One of the biggest changes recent
ly made In prohibition enforcement
Is the ruling to the effect that no
man can be prosecuted on a variety
of charges for the same offense, pro
vided that the one charge under
which he is prosecuted, is inclusive
of the other charges filed against
him. At first it was customary to
prosecute a man in the state courts,
and try htm for a similar offense
again in the federal courts. He would
be charged with sale, possessloB,
manufacture, operation without a li
cense, and many other counts under
state law and revenue bill. This prac
tice has been discontinued and a trial
In either state or federal court now
precludes action in any other court
on the same specific offense, or any
part of that offense which would be
included therein.
Many Look for Fire;
Blaze Hard to Find
More confusion to the would-be by
standers than actual damage, re
sulted from a fire at the O- K. Barber
shop Monday morning. When the
alarm was sounded various re port -i
spread, placing the blaze at every
place from the court house to the
MilleiParker garage.
The fire was the result of the ig
nition of some old rags which It is
believed were started burning by
someone's throwing away a lighted
match. The damage was negligible.

Wilson Not To Sit
In At Conference
Washington, Aug. 19. Woodrow
Wilson and those who supported him
most strongly in his fight for the
League of Nations, have been elimi
nated in consideration for a Dera--cratlc
member of the American dele
gation to the disarmament confer
ence, it was learned today.
In administration circles it was
made plain that Wilson, who was sng
gested by Senator King of Utah,
would not he named. At the same
time it was regarded as unlikely that
President Harding would go to the
other extreme and select any Demo
crat who had openly opposed the
league, because of the danger of
alienating the Democratic support he
is now receiving on the conference.
The process or elimination has sc
far resulted in making the names of
Senator Underwood of Alabama and
Senator Pomerene of Ohio stand out
as th most Ifkely of Democratic can
didates. Harding' is said to be con
sidering the appointment of one of
them, which, according to all indica
tions, would please the majority of
Democrats.
