has just recently returned, after one

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. Many side trips were tak
en while at the resort. Among these
was to the clam beds, where they se
cured all they deired, and also got
their share ot crabs and various kinds
of fish, making these trips by motor
boat. Mrs. Parker sayJ many Im
provements are being made at the
resort, and by next year the residents
of that place say that the travel in
that section will be greater than in
the history of the resort, and prepar
ations will be made to accomodate
all, for many cottages are being
erected, these of unusual attractive
appearance for beach resorts. Miss
Parker expects to return to Oregon
City next week, as the season has
about closed at that resort, few at

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.

Crops Found Heavy
Indications point to bumper crops
n Utah, Idaho and Eastern Oregon,
according to E. E. Brodie, who re

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. ,
