FINAL ACTION
IS TAKEN BY
COUNTY COURT
LONG PAID FOR PAST 2
MONTH'S SERVICE
Commissioners Issue Order to
Remove Deputy from
Position
The county court has ordered paid
the bill of Carl J. Long, for services
as traffic officer during July and An
gust.
Au order to this effect wag signed
Saturday by the two commissioners
of the court. Judge H. E. cross re
fused to affix his signature to the
order.
The dispute over the position of
traffic officer, arose two months ago
Effective July 1, the court appointed
R. E. Wagy to the position, without
removing Long, who continued t o
serve. Sheriff WilsOn refused to re
move Long as a deputy and appoint
the court's man. Judge Cross then
secured state police authority for his
a ppomtee.
Both men have been serving dur-
ng tne past two months. Long s pay
was held up at the end of August
and Wagy was paid. This month, tr-e
sheriff put in a bill for Long's serv
ices for two months. The bill went
into the court, and was marked paid,
and the stamp of Judge Cross sig
nature placed upon it by the com
missioners. Judge Cross, however,
removed this endorsement from th
bill, and it was sent back to the
court, whereupon it was endorsed per
sonally by Commissioners Harris and
Proctor. A decision of the two com
missioners is held a majority, and the
bill will be paid.
An order from the court was theu
issued, over the signatures of the
commissioner, and lacking the signa
ture of the judge, to pav Long for
the past two months service, but con
tains the proviso that his services as
traffic officer cease, as of date of Au
gust 31.
This action completely clears up
the cloud over the traffic officer po
sition which has been thickening for
the past two months. Long may be
retained as a deputy by Sheriff Wil
son, but this phase of the matter does
not involve the (controversial pf'si
tion.
When, on July 30, the court issued
an order appointing Wagy, it failed
to make any mention of removing
Long as traffic officer. Long had
been deputized by the sheriff and
'was also doing a deputy's work. Be
cause the appointment wag mads
without any notice beJmg given him
. of an intention to remove Long, Sher
iff Wilson refused to take any action.
Under the law the appointment of de
puties is in the hands of the sheriff,
but the .traffic officer serves under
the county court.
The situation then became compli
cated. Long, as a deputized officer,
was serving- without pay, and for a
time the paid officer was without au
thority to make arrests. The matter
continued in this status until Wagy
received state authority, and the
county had two officers.
Until Saturday, no definite action
was taken by the court to clear up
the matter. The order, issued by the
commissioners as a majority of the
county court: is made over the head
of the judge, who refused to sanc
tion the bill for the payment of L'lng.
Sheriff Wilson, however, refuses to
appoint Wagy as traffic officer.
Wagy, who is serving under orders of
Judge Cross, is however, a state po
lice officer, appointed by Governor
Olcott, at the instance of the judge.
L rge Families
President Harding showed kindly feeling the other
day when he wrote to the mother of a family of 1 6 chil
dren in New York City offering his congratulations and
best wishes on this. liberal contribution to the population.
A family of that size in these times suggests a certain
heroic defiance of circumstances and indifference to the
slings of fate that wins some admiration.
Our grandfathers tell of the times when many fam
ilies had eight or ten or more children, and somehow
they seemed to get along comfortably. Living standards
were of course very different then. The country raised
abundant food, clothing was largely produced at home,
the children quit school early and worked, and house
hold remedies took the place of doctor's bills! But there
was a spirit of determination and achievement in those
days that is often lacking now,
Newly arrived immigrants often show the same
spirit now, and bring great families into the world with
full faith in their ability to care for them, showing a
hopefulness not usually shared by more sophisticated
people.
The unfortunate feature of the big family is the
difficulty of providing the children with an education.
The overburdened mother may be forced to let the over
grown flock run wild. As people become more accus
tomed to American life, the tendency is to raise smaller
families, out of the feeling that a few carefully trained
and educated children give more satisfaction than a
large flock lacking such advantages.
The community should look with sympathetic' in
terest, on those who have faith enough in their powers
sufficient to take the responsibility for big flocks of lit
tle ones. The child of the big family is apt to learn self
.reliance, he gets used .to rough and tumble, and he may
accomplish a lot as the result of being taught to rely on
his own efforts. If neighbors and friends look out to'
give them chances to work, the children of a large fam
ily often make a good showing in spite of many difficulties.

Fire Rages On Road
In Oatf ield Vicinity
A large brush fire on the Oatfield
road seriouslv menaced that vicinity
last night.
Volunteers to fight it were pressed
into service wherever available and
until a late hour it was not 'under
controL
While the damage actually result
ing last night was not great, every
effort was bent to keep the fire from
crossing the road where it would en
danger a number of houses.
Reports reaching Oregon City last
night were meagre, and for the most
part brought In by autoists who pass
ed the buring district. It Is reported
that at several olaces trees nave fall

A letter has been received in Ore
gon City from -F. M. Tong, of 503
First street, Wenatchee, Wash., ask
ing for information that may lead to
the whereabouts o James Tong, who
came to the Willamette Valley set
tlirig betwen Oregon City and Salem,
60 years ago whose wife's maiden
rane was Anne Bond. They had two
children, then a son named Nelson,
snA a daughter, whore name is for
ger ten by F. M. Tong.
Ht says in his letter that when
they came to the coast territory they
secured at large tract of land, and
since that time no trace of the family
has been able to be secured. F. M.
Tong is a brother of James Tong, and
expects to be in Portland about Octo
ber 1st, but hi3 home address is 50S
So'.th Emporia, Wichita, Kansas.
Anyone knowing the whereabouts
of the pioneer family will be doing
great favor by giving Mr. Tong the
address of the family.
The contract for the grading of the
Everhart hill hasi been awarded by
the county court to Lane and Pasanen
of Portland. The contract price is 2S
cents a yard.
The bid for the removal of 11,500
yards of matrial was considerably
lower than any of the other four sub
mitted. The next figure was' 47 cents
a yard, and the highest was 65 cents.
The cost of clearing and grubbing
will be $250. The contract will amount
to approximately $5,000.
If rock or hard material is encount
ered below the surface of the ground,
the price will be increased. The bids,
according to County Engineer D. T.
Meldrum, were made 'on a basis
whereby an extra percentage is al
lowed for any material encountered
which is not fifeured in the surface estimates.
The contractors tire to stort moving
their grading machinery to the hill
Saturday, and expect to begin the
grading work next week.
The county in the near future, ac
cording to Engineer Meldrum, will ad
vertise for bids for the grading of
the Child's road, between Oswego and
Dutchtown, and Bridgeport. The road
follows the Tualatin river. The work
contemplated Involves the removal of
r600 yards of earth, and the grading
will be done on a stretch about a
mile long. The engineering work on
this project is complete.
It is expected that the county will
soon start tne work of grading the
mile of road from the Athey bridge
to Sfafford. The grade is to be im
proved.
GEORGE
How many times throughout my life has come some piece of work
Which to me was so distasteful that I shamlessly would shirk.
"Let George do it." I would mutter, and evasive turn away.
"I'll do my share," I would profess ."upon some other day."
And George was always ready the world's hard work to do
The garner in the harvests, though the laborers were few.
His shoulder to the wheel he'd put, nor would he e're refuse
VHis shoulder's are 30 broad, but mine are weak," I would excuse.
Some time we'll meet St,. Peter, Keeper of the Golden Gate;
He will bid George royal welcome but I dread to learn my fate!
Since George has oorne ray crosses, he will also wear my crown;
"Farewell George," I'll groan in sorrow from the elvator DOWN.
OPEN DOORS
IN BUSINESS
THE LAUNDRY WORKER
Work in a laundry is usually easy
to get but hard to hold on account
of the strain on the health of being
so long on one's feet, of stooping, and
of working in an over-warm', moist
room.
The girl who does go Into it should
see that she has a change to learn all
branches of it and is not kept Ion,
months or years at the same monoton
ous work.
The different branches of work are:
sorting those pieces which, require
different, treatment or chemicals;
shaking and laying out ready -for the
mangle, feeding pieces into the man
gle, or ironing machine, starching
ironing colli-rs, ironing fine pieces,
fininshing- pieces, sorting and wrap
ping. The average pay is from $4.00
for the most unskilled work to $1
or $15 a week, which is high and only
paid skilled workers or forewomen.
Skill in ironing at home is a help
for ironing is the best paid branch of
aundry work and the one where
workers are most in demand.
In larger towns there is much fine
laundry work; blouses, silk underwear,
laces, and dainty pieces to be done.
besides dry-cleaning, and pressing.
This is a good business for a girl or
woman to set up for herself and many
be done in little laundry-specialty
shops with the investment of but little
capital. It might be male a well-pay
ing and pleasing business by one
killed in laundry work The work in
laundry is good preparation for
this.
themselves sufering from the harmful
effects of these germs, not even aware
of their presence, are yet "carries" of
disease, having on board a supply of
harmful ' bacilli, but so maintaining
their own resistance and vigor that
they sustain no arrent effects of the
germs they cary. These germs may
be none the less virulent when handed
over or rather mouthed over to an
other. Mother cannot hope to control in
this respect those of their family who
have reached the age of reason, or
of un-reason but babies at least
should be exempt from the germs
which lurk in a kiss. A clean,, sweet
baby is an attractive object, and even
strargers are apt to vent their ad
miration on the helpless little dear3
by kissing them, on the mouth. Tliere
is reason for the placards sometimes
worn by the tiny charmers in the
park "Don't kiss me."
An infant's resistance to disease is
not equal to that of an adult. Added to
the fact that he is doubly charmin,
this makes him in real danger. Even
the. most cleanly of mothers should re
frain from kissing baby, if they have
any communicable disease, especially
if they are tubercular.
When Ilaby is so irresistable" you
have to kiss him, do it on the back of
his fat little neck, or the -tip of his
soft little head, or lavish as many as
you wish on his wiggly pink little
toes!
character of our c-iildren are too pre
cious to be wasted and mfeused by
teachers who fcr any reason are in
ocmpetent. "The work of the teachers is the
most important work done in America.
More depends on it than on the work
of any other class of men or women.
On the way in which it is done de
pends the happiness of the individual
and the wealth and welfare of society,
State and Nation.
"Some day we shall learn that the
work, of the teacher is the most uu
portant factor in the production of
material wealth, that when we pay
good teachers liberally we are only re
turning to them a small part of the
wealth which they by their effective
work have made possible."

Tomatoes are ' one of our valuable
sources of mineral salts. They rank
ith oranges in value asi a corrective
food keeping the blood pure and the
system toned up. A little tomato juice
j may be given to babies as cramge juice
I is. Tomatoes are a valuable food for
sick people.
Tomatoes lend themselves to all
kind of artistic combinations In salads.
How pretty the crisp lettuce leaf, a
few slices of tomato, cucumber, and
flakes of peppers with yellow salad
dresing over all!
Sliced tomatoes may be used as a
garnish with potato salad, or with
cold meat. In cooking meat, the acid
of tomato added makes the meat ten
der. They add the needed flavor to
escal.oped macaroni or nee.
They are delicious stewed alone or
with gren peppers. They may he
fried, either ripe or green, by dipping
first in raw egg then in flour. They
may be escalloped with bread crumbs
or cracker. Curry powder or grated
cheese or both ccit-.bine well with this
dish, which may be served with a
bordering rinig of plain boiled rice.
Cream of Tomato Soup is made by
cooking the tomatoes and adding bu-t
ter, salt, pepper, a little sugar and
soda to neutralize the excess acid. To
this add hot white sauce. Tomatoes
are a needed addition to any vegetable
stew or soup.
Tomato Sauce helps any dish which
is flat or not sufficiently flavored.
Cook the tomatoes with peppers
onion, celery and carrots. Strain and
thicken and add butter. This is good
with toast, rice, macaroni, and meat
loaf.
For stuffed tomatoes, proceed as in
making meat loaf. Fill inside of a
tomato with this preparation and bake

same sauce may be made without
straining and served as a meat sauce.
To make tomato butter, cook and

It is the part of wisdom for the wo

the water supply is poor and inade

windows are wrongly placed and the
seats should be turned a diffeient way.
In others the heating apparatus is

Property Holders Contend
Paving Is Not Necesary
At Present Time
Improvements on two of the three
streets in Green Point the paving of
which was contemplated, will have to
be abandoned, due to the remonstran
ces of two-thirds of the property
owners.
Remonstrances, signed by 23 pro
perty owners, whose holdings aggre
gate enough to form a legal block to
the proceedings were filed Monday wit
City Recorder Kelly. They proveat
the proposed improvement of Mo3s

street, from Main to the river.
No remonstrances were filed
against the improvemnts of Front,
or 17th streeet or on 18th street from
Railroad to Main. These improve
ments can be made with a Rlis-ht
change in the proceedings.
SOME PAVING PLANNED
The contemplated improvements
were of concrete, a 16 foot surface,
with nine feet on Moss streets, con
structed without sidewalks.
The reason . cited is that the im
provements are not necessary.
At its special meeting last night,
the council passed a "resolution to
innagurate proceedings for the im
provement of J. Q Adams street from
.11th to 12th. The proposed improve-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. President
Harding contemplates limiting tp four
members of the American delegation
in the forthcoming- international con
ference on the limitation of arma
ments and the Pacific and Far East
ern questions.
The delegation according to the
prevailing belief here, probably will
consist of the following members:
Charles Evans Hughes, secretary
of state, Republican.
Henry Cabot Lodge, senator from
Massachusetts and chairman of the
senate committee on foreign rela
tions, Republican.
Elihu Root, former secretary o f
state and later senator from New
York, Republican.
Oscar W. Underwood,' senator from
Alabama, Democrat.
The selection of Secretary Hughes
and Senator Lodge already has been
announced by the president. Mr. Root
called at the White HousC yesterday
and was closeted with the president
for an hour or more, but declined
when he emerged to reveal the pur
pose of his visit.
In the superior condition of its
markets for farm produce of all
j kinds, Oregon -offers a tremendous in
aucement to tne rniaaie western farm
er, according to O- E. Freytag, presi
dent of the local Realty Board, who
spoke at the regular meeting Mon
day night, telling Df his trip to Chica
go where he attended the National
Realty Board convention.
The middle-western farmer, explain
ed Mr. Freytag, is forced to pay" tri
bute to the middlemen who extract
all of the profit from the producer,
keeping- the farmer subserviant by a,
heavy system of licensing if they are
to sell independently.
He contrasted this condition with the
freedom with which marketing is con
ducted in Oregon and the facilities
such as public markets' which are
offered the farmer. Many middle
western farmers, he said, would be
willing to come to the Pacific- slope'
if only to benefit by the better con
ditions here.
Gordon J. Taylor, who was the lo
cal board's representative at Omaha
for the homeseekers special, gave
his report. The' special train was
postponed, but the excursion will be
held this month, the homeseekers ar
riving in Portland September 27.
Members of the local board plan to
go to The Dalles, where they will
meet the easterners and bring them
to Clackamas county by auto.
A party of seven homeseekers came
west in spite of the postponement of
the excursion, and a report presented
to the club showed that all of these
seven had bought property in Oregon
after making the trip here to look
over the field. "Thi-" said fecretary
T F. Meeds, "demonstrates that the
theory on -which the homeseeker s
special is brought here to advertise
Oregon and the west is sound, for it
actually shows the advantages of this
territory and will do much to start
an exodus to the Pacific slope."
