ARENA AT MILWAUKIE
SOLO; DANCE HALL IS
TO BE BUILT THERE
Remodeling Not to Interfere
With Regular Bi-monthly
Boxing Bouts
The Milwaukie boxing arena wa
purchased Thursday from the Port
land Railway, Light & Power com
pany by E. E. Merges and W. W. Ely
for $25,000. The new owners propose
to spend $10,000 in repairs on the
building and fit it np as a dance hal
and motion picture theatre.
Was Car Barn
The property transferred is a brick
structure 100 by 200 feet in dimen
sions, formerly used as a car barn by
the P. R. L- & P. company. It is held
under lease by George T. Moore, man
ager of the Milwaukie boxing com
mission, and was fitted up as arena
with seating capacity for 6000 fans
Moore's contract will continue nn
der the new ownership, according to
a statement .issued by Merges today
and alterations to the building will
not interfere with the regular bi
monthly events of the boxing commis
sion Moore's lease on the building
expires November 1 and a new con
tract will be made at that time, Mer
ges stated.
Dance Hall Planned
Operation of a dance hall at Mil
waukie would be unhampered by the
midnight and Sunday closing ordi
nances in effect in Portland. Merges
s-aid. The motion picture show would
not be under supervision of Portland
censorship and Ely stated thet many
films "unjustly censored there" would
be presented at the Milwaukie theatre.
In addition-tc the theatre and dance
hall, plans of the new owners of the
property include the installation of a
larffe cafe. Work of altering the
building will begin immediately anl
the new resort will be ready for op
eration in about HO days
COMMITTEES AWAITING
COUNCIL'S ACTION
Decision on River Ferry Now
Needed to Secure Road's
Completion
A new phase in the effort to meet
the proposition of the Highway com
mission to pave t'je gap on the Paci
fic Highway at Bolton if the county
will guarantee to keep tiaffic open
during the time that tbP bridge 5s
closed, is seen in the relation of the
city of Oregon City to the problem.
The matter of keeping traffic open,
according to the highway commission,
will fall largely upon the county. But
the court will take no action until
civic and commercial bodies pledge
their cooperation.
-No Action Planned
A committee headed by Ralph Park
er has the matter under advisement
for the Commercial Club. Mr. Park-
e.r stated Friday that his committee
would :ake no action until a commit-
tee was appointed by Oregon CUy.
Pending such action upon . the part
of either the mayor or the council.
Mr. Parker will take no steps toward
a conference "with the county court.
It is felt, as the reason for this ac
tion, that it is desirable that every
body interested in the traffic situa
tion should be taken into considera
tion when a progress is outlined.
The highway commission, in reply
to the agitation here for the immedi
ate pavement of the remaining 3000
feet of the highway at Bolton, made
the proposition to complete the work
provided travel across the river would
be maintained. Otherwise, it was
felt that the improvement would be
a 'dead end" road during the year
that the bridge is down, pending tlv?
completion of the new structure.
West Linn Has Committee
The West Linn Committee, which
is headed by L. L. Porter, has also
delayed action until a combined con
ference including representatives
from Oregon City can bi held.
Judge Cross some time ago mad3
the statement that no official actio:i
upon the part of the court would be
taken until representatives from the
other bodies brought the matter to
a point where it could be formally
acted upon. The decision of the Com
mercial Club and West Linn commit
tees to await the appointment of a
delegation from Oregon City, places
the proposition practically in the
hands of the city as far as speedy ac
tion is concerned.
The average man can lift one and
one-half times his own weight.

"SOVEHIGN
STATE" CLAIM
OF IRELAND
PREMIER REFUSES
ACCEPT NOTE
TO
Accusations Fired Against
British by Eamon
de Valera
Dublin, Sept. 15. The accusation
that the British government seeks "to
rend the ancient nation of Ireland and
partition its territory," is made by
Eamon de Valera in his latest note to
Premier Lloyd George, The contents
were made known this afternoon de
spite the fact that the premier refuse !
to accept it after he had read it.
"In this final note it is our duty to
reaffirm the position of cur nation.
said the communication.
"Our nation has formally declared
s independence and now recognizes
itself as a soverign state. Only as re
presentatives of that state and as its
chosen guardians have we any author
ity or powers to act on behalf of the
people."
The note goes into an interpretation
of De Valera's favorite phase. "A
peace conference on the basis of the
consent of the governed," and con
cludes with the words:
"In reality it is your government
that seeks to rend our ancient nation
and to partition its territory."
The Sinn Fein chieftan refused to
comment on the new developments
They Intimated that the situation v. as
so delicate they feared they might
complicate it still further by talking.
There is much significance in the
fact that De Valera will not be a mem
ber of the Irish delegation if the In
verness peace conference is held as
planned. Arthur Griffith, the chair
man, and Michael Collins, commander-
in-chief of the Irish Republican army,

SUNDAY'S RAINFALL
IN OREGON CITY SAID
HEAVIEST IN 2 YEARS
recipitation is 1.54 Inches;
Damage to Crops .is
Believed Light
Oregon City got its share of the
rain that fell over the entire coast as
far south as San Francisco and as far
est as Boise, Idaho.
The precipitation Sunday, from 8
m. until 8 a. m. Monday, amounted
to 1.54 inches, according to C- B. Wil
son, of Willamette, who keeps the of
ficial Clackamas county records of
the amount of rainfall."
The heavy shower did some damage
to hops and prunes throughout tae
county, altho the loss is not heavy.
The benefit from the rain, it is stated
will far exceed the damage as it will
put the ground In shape for fall plow
ing and will alleviate the dangers
from forest fires.
The rain is regarded as the knell
of the dry season, but the official
weather forecasters say that condi
tions are too undertain at present to
make any actual predictions.
The rainfall Sunday is believed to
be the heaviest in Claekanfes county
for any one day during the past sev
eral years. During last winter a rain
fall of an inch and a half was record
ed, but the precipitation during the
week-end was nearly a tenth greater. I
Farmers over the northwest, accord
ing to press reports, are jubilant over
the prospects of some wet weather.
The year has been exceptionally dry
and the .ground has been in such
shape, that if the dry spell continued,
plowing would be difficult.
Although some damage to crops is
generally reported over the coast, the
majority of the. ranchers were enabled
to get their grain and other crops in
in time to avoid loss.
New Crop Boosted;
Dean Makes Report
The mint industry in Oregon i s
looming up favorably according to
Dean Adolph Ziefle of the agricultural
college school of pharmacy, who as
one of the directors of Ihe Oregon
mint growers cooperative association
has inspected practically all the mint
plants in the Willamette valley.
Dean Ziefle stopped in Oregon City
August 26, while making his tour of
this district, and discussed conditions
in this part of the country, relative
to the industry in which he is partic
u'drly interested.
He found that with the exception of
plants on high and dry land the
stand of peppermint and the yield of
oil exceded the average for the last
five years. The highest yield report
ed was in the district ofBroks. Mar
ion county, in the lake Labish coun
try, where the yield averaged from 70
to 80 pounds of oil an acre. Because
of the success in peppermint culture
in this section it is expected that lefc
acreage will be greatly increased next
year.
"Tests are being made on extrao
ed mint hay for its food value,' Dean
Zeifle says. "Because of the high
quality of Oregon peppermint oil it
is proposed to erect a purification
plant in order that only the purified
oil may be sent from the state. Tests ,
are now being made to determine the
content of menthol and menthyl ace
tate, and from the preliminary tests
which have been made the oil will be
suitable for the manufacture of gum.
candy, medicinal remedies, and for
other purposes. Oregon peppermint
oil has been tested by practical candy
makers who report that because of
its high quality it requires less, to- ob
tain the desired flavor than oils from
other, sections of the country."
Distribution of Public Charity
"Ye have the poor with you always" said the Savior
of mankind, and every community is faced with the ne
cessity of spending more or less money -on public chari
ty. It has usually been more for the past year, since the
period of waste and inflation came to an end. It should
be a satisfaction to the taxpayer to feel that his money
has done something to relieve the cases of genuine need
on the part of worthy, people. But there are many fake
calls for help, and many persons make a study of how to
work the public and supply their needs out of the public
purse instead of by honest industry.
It has always been considered a kind of disgrace for
' a person to have to- resort to a public almshouse. Fre
quently this feeling is not justified, as one may have
done his level best for self support, but. adverse circum
stances were too difficult to be overcome.
The community should do its utmost to take the
sting of defeat away from such people. Some communi
ties soften the bitterness of public charity by calling
their almshouses the "city home," suggesting that the
community is a family that is glad to care for all unfor
tunate members.
The problem of separating the worthy from the un
deserving, calls for close study of human nature. A per
son may be drawing relief from a number- of charitable
agencies simultaneously, without any of them knowing
of the other gifts. A good many people lose ambition
after receiving public charity. They get soft and easy
going, conclude that the world owes them a living and
refuse to get out and hustle. "
Careful investigation is the only way to deal fairly
and sympathetically in such cases. The people who de
serve help will work with all their energy if they get a
chance, and those who show this disposition to make
good are entitled to generous treatment if sickness or
other misfortune besets them. "

Figures on Oregon
Manufactures Given
WASHINGTON J). C, Sept. 17.
preliminary statement of the general
result of the 1920 census of manufac
tures, covering the year of 1919, for
the State of Oregon was issued today
by the Bureau of the Census, Depart
ment of Commerce. The figures are
preliminary and subject to such
change and correction as may be found
necessary from a further examination
of the reports.
The census of manufactures, 191!),
like that of 1914, excluded the hand
trades, the building trades, and the
neighborhood industries, and took ac
count only of establishing conduct
ed under the so-called factory system.
The word "establishment" as used in
the census reports may mean more
than one mill or plant, provided thy
are owned or controlled and operated
by a single individual, partnership, cor
poration or other owner or operator,
and are located in the same town or
city.'
Calendar Reports Taken
The reports were taken for the
calendar year ending December SI,
1919, or the business year of the es
tablishment most nearly conforming to
that calendar year.
The census inquiry calls for the to
tal amount of capital, both owned and
borrowed, invested in the business,
but excludes the value of rented pro
perty. In addition to the component ma
terials which enter into the value of
products," the cost of materials in this
summary includes the cost of fuel,
mill supplies, and rent of power and
heat.
The value of products represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year,
whether sold or on hand.
Figures are Given
In Jthe following table, comparative
figures of 1919 and 3 914 are given. The
1919 figures are followed by the
figures for 1914:
Number of establishments, 2,707
2,320; Persons engaged in manufac
tures, 68,004 35,449; Proprietors and
firm members, 2,540 2,185; Salaried
employees, 6,903 i,431; Wage earners
(average number), 58,559 28,829:
Primary horsepower, 303,751 219,222:
Capital $439,982,000 $139,500,000;
