She made the trip from Port land by automobile stage, transfer ring at Hebo for the remainder of the distance. She says she had no idea of the beauty of these big sand hill' J i surrounding the resort, and in the dis-1 tance Haystack rock in the -ocean. With the water dashing over the sand, blue sky, the big hills and the Nestucca river flowing into the ocean, there was nothing to compare with this for beauty, a sight she will long remember.

County Agent Holt Visits Fair County Agent Holt was among those to visit the Multnomah county fair at Gresham or Monday, . and speaks hi(ghly of the interest that Clackamas county has taken by ex hibiting in "the big building, which he assisted in arranging, and which is in charge of David Long, secretary ot Clackamas county fair, and also as sisted in arranging by W. B. Cook, county assessor of Clackamas coun ty. These exhibits were taken from the Clackamas county fair grounds, and are filling 15 foot square space. More space could have been filled ha.'i the space been allowed. These are well arranged and are attracting un usual attention. A big sign "Clacka mas County" will be placed over the exhibit. In the livestock barns Clackamas county has done her share to assist in making Multnomah coun ty a success. The livestock was also among- that exhibited at the Clacka mas county fair. Weather permitting Clackamas- county -will be well repre sented during the week by these de siring to view the exhibits and take in the big show. "Saltbush Bill", who has a reputation in this coun try and Austrilia, as a far travelled tramp, recently told in the New York Tribune about his experience as a hobo. According to Bill, a colossal nerve and a glib tongue are necessary for the tramp. These wanderers are depend ent solely on their own wit and readiness to" avoid trou ble. It is no job for a dull man, says Bill. His story must be plausible and must be delivered with such earnestness as to make an inquisitive police- man accept it as veracious. Also it must appeal to char- itably disposed citizens of a questioning turn of mind, and must so arouse their sympathy that they will come across with the coins for a long deferred square meal. . According to Saltbush, the successful hobo must have quick wit and intuition so as to read accurately the natures of the people that he comes in contact with, and I know wnat ones can be wheedled into giving handouts of food and clothing. i A person having these gifts would do well in any legitimate calling, if he would settle down and go to work. But some people have an intense wanderlust, arid an inability to perform any regular tasks in one place. Saltbush has made it his rule not to hold one job 1 for over 30 days at a time. i Boys who get the vagrant fever, should reflect that this seasoned wanderer calls tramping a hard life, one that gets you nowhere, and brings many kicks and cuffs. TrarAps arid hoboes are a pitiful element in our civiliza- tion. They suffer infinitely more from their own lazi- I ness than they would from the weariness that comes from honest work. The boy who shows any inclination toward vagrancy should be sent off to some good camp I in the woods, where he could get the taste of adventure that he craves, yet have his ambition excited to win by hard work the chance to see the world in the pursuit of 1 some useful calling.

COUNCIL UNWITTINGLY KILLS ORDINANCE Majority Secured at Special bession Not Sufficient To Pass Act you may think that it was; but it wasn't And all of your strife was in vain. The old city hall building on Main street is not leased The city council thought that they leased it last Mon day night. But they didn't. The or dinances providing for the signing of the contract weren't passed they were killed dead like a doornail This fact came to light Thursday when it was discovered that the char ter provides that upon final passage, an ordinance must have a majority of the whole council. At the special meeting, when final action was tak en, two members were absent, and six present. Two of those present voted against the lease, leaving four votes for it. Five is needed to make a majority of the entire council, so the ordinance, though, announced as carried, was killed. Lease Under Fire The leasing of the citv haii pro perty had ben under fire for some time. Finally it was decided to sign the building to Ruconich and Roppell for a period of ten years. The ordi nance passed on first reading, and was published to come up for final passage on the 12th of this montn At the special meeting councilmea Krassig and Cross were absent. Of the remaining six members Albright, Bridges, Petzold and VanAuken voted for the lease, and Mount and Metzner voted against it. Down came the gav el. "Ordinance is passed," announced president of .the Council Bridges. Af ter a little more routine business the meeting adjourned Thursday the law was looked up and the charter provision was found to re quire that on final passage of all or dinances there must be a majority of the entire council. So now, if the building is to be leased, proceedings will have to be instituted all over again. Charter Provision Cited The provision in the charter, cover ing the case in question follows: Section 30: A majority of the mem bers of the council Shall constitute a quorum to do business but a less number may meet and adjourn form time tome and compel the attendance of the absent members; the affirma tive or negative vote of the majority of the members present at s.ny meet ingj shall be sufficient to determine any question or matter other than the final passing of an ordinance which must receive the vote of a majority of the whole council. And so the building is not leased OREGON CITY SHOWS INCREASyOWIII3 Largest Gain is Reported at Barclay; Work is Now Progressing Well Registration at the Oregon City schools at the ooenlng of the term last Monday totaled 1113, according to the announcement made yesterday by City School Superintendent, R. W Kirk. Completion of the listing- of the registration shows an enrollment cf 357 at the higji school, 421 at the Eastham school and 335 at the Bar clay school. The largest increase is in the at tendance at Barclay, which is 51 above last year. The enrollment in the high school totaled 10 more than last year, while the registration at the East ham school was only slightly above previous figures. The registration will grow consid erably larger within the month, ac cording to Mr. Kirk. This is due to the fact that a number of the stu-. dents are still in the hop fields and plan to enter late. A number of the boys, it has been learned are on hunting trips, and will not enter un til next week. Registration, says Mr. Kirk, always continues for a week or so, as many families are unsettled at the time school begins. . School work is going well already and the conditions are becoming ad justed with ar minimum of preliminary fluster this year. The Eastham school :s quite crowded, due to the influx af students from the Mt. Pleasant dis trict. BATTIN DISTRICT CROWDED; ENLARGEMENT !S PLANNED Drunk Runs Amuck; Shoots at "Bandits" A battle against an imaginary en emy, consisting of three bloodthirsty imaginary men was staged at Clack amas at noon yesterday by Nels Lun- drin. Lundrin imbibed considerably too much moonshine, and saw visions of bandits who sought to take his life. Frightened by these visionary pursu ers, Lundrin took refuge beneath a shingle pile in a barn, and with a re volver ,f.arted shooting at the "high waymen." Sheriff Wilson was called, and with Deputy Hughes went after the drunk en man. Upon his arrival, Lundrin came out from beneath the shingle pila, and told the sheriff that h e wanted protection. Wilson offered to aid him in the fight, and conducted the man to the waiting automobile, and thence to the county ja'J He was taken before Judge E. J: Noble who fined him ?2o and sen tenced him to ten days in the cooler to sober up and think about it. Sheriff Wilson took a .38 Colt's special away from the man. The six catridges in the revolver had been fired, it is be lieved withoufc either injury or damage. At a school meeting held inMS Battin district Monday night, it was decided to employ a new teacher for the grade school there. The enrollment of nearly 90 stu dents is taking the present facilities beyond capacity. Two teachers were employed last year, but with the Mo crease in the attendance, have been unable to handle the large number of pupils, I Facilities in the district, accordias t o County School Superintendent Brenton Vedder, are adequate to cisre for approximately 50 pupils, but a larger number will not receive ade quate instruction from two teachers, and the addition of a third was ne cessitated. Mr. Vedder attended the board meeting, and says that plans will probably be made for the con structing of an additional room to the existing- building. , Local Schools Open; Registration Gains Oregon City schools, and the schools in twenty-four other districts in Clack amas county opened Monday. Although no complete figures ar3 at band, City Superintendent R. W Kirk reports that the registration at the Eastham school is approximately 50 above what it was last year. The registration at the High and Barclay, schools shows a slight increase over 1920. Reports from the schools in the outlying districts are only made once each month, and will not be in the hands of county School Superintend ent Brenton Vedder untiir after the report day in October. It is expected that the enrollment in the Oregon City schools, including the high school, Barclay and East- hame grade schools, will total ap proximately 1500, which will be an increase of about 100 over last year. Complete totals are expected todays Sewer is Held Up; Flan to be Changed Helen Hesse Dies; Lived in Oregon City Mrs. Helena Hesse, a dent of Oregon City, recently died at her home in Pcrtlantt, after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. Hesse was about 54 yearsi of age and i3 survived by the following children: Fred Hesse. Jr.,; Carl and Hoxley Hesse; Mifs Elsie Hesse and Mrs. carl Kock, all of Portland. Interment was in the Mt- Calvary cemetery, Portland. The ordinance providing for the construction of a sewer in District Twelve, in the vicinity of Willam ette and Division streets, which pass ed its first reading at the last meet ing of the council, has been ordered held up, pending further investiga tion. The. street committee, upon going further into the problem, discovered that the cost of the district would fall exceptionally hard upon a few people in the territory that would be be unable to shoulder the large ex pense. A change in the territory included in the district is to be made, in ordar to care for the lots which are in ac tual need of drainage The ordinance is to be re-considered at the meetine I at t Via s-ins!l -nv- 3 . ; v. - former rer.i- " uik"1- Route For Pipe Set; Damage Cost Small i Molalla, Sept. 17. The right of w?y lor the pipe line for the water supply has been arranged for by the city council. In most cases the town did not have to pay for the privilege of laying the line.
