Progress of Local Cattle Men
Pointed Out by National
Club Representative
Clackamas county is rapidly becom
ing one of the cattle centers which
will ultimately be called on to meet
thp trrowinir demand for nure bred I
guernseys, according to E. L. West-
over, western representative of the
American Guernsey Cattle Club.
Mr Westover was in Oregon City
Mondar. where he attended a meet-
ng of the Clackamas County Guern
sey Cattle club, and aided them In
laying their plans for exhibiting stock
at the Facific International Livestock
show, and the local fair to be held in
Canby this Septenber.
Mr. Westover, whose headquarters
are in Portland, has charge of the ac
tivities of the national club in eleven
western states. The large part of
his time is spent in traveling ever
his territory and viewing the activi-

resented in the bidding and there
was a drove of new men in the field.
Many bids also were received from
contracors in adjoining states.
Juding from a hasty examination
of figures, the bids, as a whole were
declared exceptionally good, which
means that the prices offered were
reasonably low. The falling labor

The demand for the iguernsey cat
tle, according to Mr. Westover, is far
greater than the supply. Not only is
there a call for stock locally, but the
national market is large. The stock
was introduced in the eastern part of
the United States, and the early de
mand for guernseys in the Atlantic
states has made the building up of
the herds in the west a somewhat
slow process Mr. Westover attri
butes the growing demand for the
guernseys to the fact that the stock
The marked importance of the Pacific highway as
a main traffic artery through Clackamas county is indi
cated by the fact that more vehicles crossed the New Era
bridge, a few miles south of Oregon City, than at any
point in Oregon in a given time. With an average of
three days count, 1 ,932 vehicles crossed .the structure
between 6 a. m. and 1 0 p. m. The Pacifid highway one
mile south of Medford was second, with lt6&8 vehicles,
aftd Sunnyside, two miles north of Freewater, on the
Oregon-Washington highway, ranked third, with 1 ,564.
Several years ago, when an effort was made to de-
signate the west side Pacific highway as the main road
J between Portland and Salem, a delegation from Oregon
City argued for the retention of the original route as
I mapped by the Pacific highway association, with little
thought of the density of the traffic to come, but with
I the tourist asset in mind, and certainly without the vision
that Clackamas would lead the state witrv the greatest
amount of travel. It is undoubtedly true that the fi-
gures will double with the completion of the paving be-
tween West Linn and the Multnomah county line and
the construction of the Willamette river bridge at Ore-
gon City, taking into consideration also the normal in-
crease in the number of motor cars. i
The tabulation made by the state highway commis-
sion shows a total of 41,126 vehicles passing specific
points during a 1 6 hour period, distributed as follows :
Horse drawn vehicles, 1,541 ; motorcycles, 488; Oregon
passenger cars, 29,949 ; passenger cars from other states.
5,964; light duty trucks, 1,870; heavy trucks, 1,314.
Passenger cars from Oregon hold a percentage of 72.8
and cars from other states rank second, with 1 4.5 per
cent. The figures demonstrate that a Vehicle passed
over the New Era bridge every 30 seconds during the en-
I tire 1 6 hours covered by the survey, and that 236 cars
came from states other than Oregon. r
I Clackamas county has expended a large sum of
I money in cooperation with the state on the Pacific high-
I way, and it is evident that the road is worth all it has
cost.

Canby Makes Protest
A protest was presented 10 the
commission by the City of Canby,
against being forced to' pay for the
laying of the pavement on the pad-,
fic highway through the town. The
present contract on the highway work
calls for a mile and a half of road, for
which Canby was asked to put up
$12,000.
City Attorney Phil Hammond stated
to the commission that Canby was not
fn a position financially to pay for
the road. .
When the contract was let, no
agreement was made with Canby, and
the stipulation was included that the
section of the road through Canby
might be canceled and the improve
ment abandoned in the event that no
agreement could be reached.
Tho city of Canby claims that as
the road goes through a portion of
the city where the actual benefit to
adjacent property la small,, it should
not be asked to pay such a large
amount.

Comparitive figures show a steadily
increasing demand from the time of

a demand which has grown far faster
than the supply. Mr. Westover's
work is mainly the visiting of the
districts where the cattle are being
raised and through the cooperative
work of the American Club and in an
advisory capacity he is aiding the de
velopment of such centers where the
possibilities of production are good
and breeders are manifesting a gen

estimated. The bill for the audit, in

The books of 132 districts were
audited, and the time of audit charged
against each district. The most ex

where the accounts were in badly

T. V. Tanney. manager of the local
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com
pany plant, has always wanted tc
know what a ship wreck was like.
Mr. Yanney's curiosity has been sa
tisfied. He knows. He was aboard the
ill-fated Alaska when she struck
Blunts reef and sunk on the night of
August 6. He returned to Oregon last
Wednesday, stopping at his home iu
Portland, and coming to Oregon City
Thursday. !
Over all the experiences Mr. Yan
ney casts a vein of humor. Two hours
in the icy brine off Mendocino bay
with only a pot-luck chance for one's
life is little enough of a joke, but he
prefers to dwell upo? the peculiar in
cidents rather than upon the hard
ships of the disaster.
. Boat is Capsized
,Mr. Yanney was in one of the life
boats that was capsized when it hit.
the water. Until he was picked up
by the rescue ship Anyox, he and two
other men clung to an overturned life
boat The water chilled them to a
sense of numbness and the thick oil
from the ship covered them. What
saved many, says Mr. Yanney, was
the fact that the sea, while the swell
was heavy, was not running hard, and
the fog was not very heavy.
Some of the pathetic things that
seem humorous sound rather odd
when told in the same ligbt of the af
trr days. Mr Yanney tells of one wo
man, who floating on a bit of wreck
age, gave vent to frantic cries when
a life boat hove in sight to pick her
up. "You've got to save me, "You've
got to save me, I've got a baby!" she
yelled frantically. And the strange
part of it was that the curt reply of
tha rcwer of the life boat evoked noth
ing but laughter among the wet and
chilled survivors of the ship.
Crew Held Inexperienced
The charges of inefficiency of the
crew, Mr. Yanney io part substanti
ates. The sailors, although they
seen-ed willing, were in-experienced
and aid not know what to do -T h
charges made by the boatswain that
',here were only five aWe seamen ou
the ship, he says is very probably
true. The men seemed sort of dazei,
not knowing just where to turn their
hand.
Th wreck of tb.ship, Mr. Yanney
blioves. was due to the fact that Vie"
officers were not fully acquainted
with the run, getting off their coufso.
Shorcly before the Alaska hit, a man
was sent aloft to try to locate the
light ship, but the lightsi were no
seen due to the fact that the steamer
had already passed iside the reef.
Then she struck. Three quarters of
an hour later she blew up. Mr. Yan
ney's watch stopped at ten minutes
to ten. When the ship exploded he
was some distance away in the chill
waters of the Pacific.

limbs he says, seemed to move only
with the greatest difficulty and that
only by concentration upon their ac
tion rather than by natural reaction.
One of the strange sigfats, he says,
was to see the survivors that were
brought in covered with a veritable
blanket of oil froir the ship. The oil
formed a heavy skum over the water
and when men and women were pull
d np, almost completely enveloped
them.
The Anyox reached Eureka at two
in the morning. Every preparation
had been made to take care of the sur
vivors. Mr. Yanney pays high compli
ment to the hospitality of the Eureka
people, who threw open their homes,
gave the survivors new clothing, and
even opened the stores on Sunday so
that they could secure what they
needed.
Visits in California
Mr. Yanney visited for two weeks
tfter the wreck, with his brother at
Oakdale, California. They motored
over the southern state, and into thf.
'"nterior of California. One of the
most interesting places visited was
the old placer mining camps. These
were ' Columbia and Sonora, near
Stockton. Here the crooked streets
and folorn buildings bear witness to
the once booming semi-civilization 3f
the gold rush. Every house, says Mr.
Yanney, seems to have at one time
been a saloon, for the half hidden

Washington.
Her husband awoke shortly after 2
and missed her. He aroused other
people in the house, and started in
search, which led to the finding of her
body bf-side the automobile.
Mrs. Crumley, accompanied by her
husband, his father and mother, broth
er and sister, all of Baene, Wash, had
stopped for the night ,at the Pryor
home at Jennings Lodge. The party
was en route to California in two au
tomobiles. After supper members of
the family discussed Mrs. Crumley's
health, more particularly as it related
to her taking care of her baby half
sister, Mrs. Pryor's child. Mrs. Crum
ley, who was 21 years' old. said she
thought she could care for the child.
Other members of the family advised
against it.
It is believed the young ' woman
brooded over the discussion after re
tiring, and in a fit of melancholia de
cided to end her life. Coroner Pace,
after investigating, announced that
there would be no Inquest.
