Shown by E. N. Strong
and D. C Freeman

sociated Industrie? of Oregon and E.
N. Strom?, a member of the board of
directors of the association, were tha
principal speakers at ihe regular
weekly meeting of the Live Wires of
Ihe Commercial club Tuesday noon.
The importance and value of buy
ing "Made-in-Oregon" goods was em
phasized by both speakers, and the
results of the campaign for 1-x.al
trading was pointed out in a quota
tion from the recent federal indus
trial census. This report shows that
in 1914 the Oregon industries em
ployed 36.000 wage earners while in
1919 they required 69,00'), while the
value of the manufactured product?
climbed from $110,000,000 per annum
in 1314 to $"'37,000,000 in 1919. Special
reference was made by Mr. Freeman
in his discussion to the situation in
cement products and building mater
ials, for which many thousands of
dollars leaving the state each year,
and which are produced locally in
just as good quality and for practic
al' ihe same cost as the imported ar
ticles. t Band is Talked
The matter of a municipal band of
the city was introduced by F. J. Tooe
and Main Trunk I.inn Jones appointed

Caufield as a committee to endeavor

fort to raise funds for the operation
of the park for another few months.
A meeting of the board of govern
ors cf the club was announced for

purpose of considering an expansion
plan to be presented by tiie American

NINETY VETERANS OF
OLD WARS APPLY FOR
TAX EXEMPTION HERE
Property to Value of $58,000
Classed Within Provision
of New Statutes
Ninety veterans of the Civil, Mexi
can or Indian wars in Clackamas
county have, applied for tax exemption
under the new provisions passed at
the last session of the state legisla
ture.
Data compiled by County Assessor
William Cook Thursday, shows that
hese veterans have applied for ex
emption on property valued at a to;
tal of S5S.170. In the majority of
cases according to Mr Cook, the ex
eruptions requested are for smaller
amounts than the $1,000 limit. The
average is about $500.
RULING IS MADE
The law was passed by the legisla
ure last May, providing for tax ex
emption on property to the extent of
$1000 for veterans of these wars, an -1
the act specified that applications for
exemption should be made berore
April 1. Under a ruling from the at
torney general, however, this time
limit was suspended for the first year
and applications are now being filed.
The law applies to the widows of
veterans, provided they have not re
married. Mr. Cook urges all those who wish
to apply for exemption from taxes tc
do so immediately in order to save
the delay that would be necessary :f
the applications were to come in after
assessments were made, which would
necessitate refunds this year.
BENEFIT SAID GREAT
Although the approximate exemp
tion of $58,000 out of the taxable val
uation of $30,000,000 in the county will
not greatly .reduce the revenue re
ceived, it will be a great benefit to
the old soldiers. , Many of them, Mr.
Cook says, own only a home valued
at $400, or $500 taxes, and they would
be called upon to pay from $20 to
$60 taxes. The total levy that would
fall upon them is 40 mills and many
cf them are not financially able to
take care of this burden without hard-,
ship
Under the law, Mr Cook explains,
one application is sufficient to re
lieve them from taxation for th total
time which they hold the property.
Once filed, no taxes are to be levied
against it.

Delegates to Convention At
Los Angeles Declare That
'Blue Funk' is Over
Harvey Ii.' Hulbert, well known rest
dent of East Gladstone, was struck
by passenger train No. 17, of the
Southern Pacific railroad . company.
Saturday afternoonas it was south
bound, and died from the injuries
while being brought to this city on
the train.
The accident occurred near the
Clackamas river Southern Pacific
railroad bridge at 2:2n o'clock as, Mr.
Hulbert was on his way home from
his employment. Friends believe that
his mind had been occupied so as not
to notice the approaching train lor
at this section it is in plain view and
can be heard for some distance.
Train is Stopped
The train crew immediately stopped
the train and took aboard the injured
man, intending to bring him to Ore
gon City hospital, but Mr. Hulbert
died shortly after leaving the place
where the accident occurred.
The remains were taken to the Hol
man & Pace undertaking parlors, ana
Corner Pace stated Saturday evening
that no inquest would be held as the
train crew was absolutely blameless.
Where Mr. Hulbert was struck v. ?:
not on . a public highway, and as he
was walking in gravel it is thought he
tlipped and stumbled towards the
train, causing the accident.
Decides to Walk
It has always been Mr. Hulbert's
custom to make the trip to his home
by automobile, but as this was in use
this afternoon he decided to walk to
l is home, and was near the crossing
leading to his place wnen tie was
struck. He had been at the Holmes
store at Parkplace a few minutes
lftefore where he had placed an order
to be sent to his home, and at that
time was in the best of spirits while
conversing wfh his friends.
Mr. Hulbert came to Parkplace
about a year ago, his former home be
ing in Minnesota. He was 5u years
of age, and was highly respected by
his many friends at Gladstone and at
Parkplace.
Deceased is survived by his wife
and three adopted children.
Cooperative 55
. System For
Water, Plan
Plans for the consolidation of a
number of the districts between Ore
gon City and MQwaukie for the pur
pose of securing, a central water sup
ply, were laid at a meeting held by
committees from Evergreen, Oak
Grove, Concord and a representation
from Jennings Lodge.
The meeting was held at the home
of Harvey G. Starkweather, and the
proposition of making some arrange
ments to secure Pull Run water sup
ply was considered with the result j
that sub-committees to conduct an in-
estigation of the possibilities of the
service, were appointed.
The districts have, for some time,
attempted to get Oregon City to furn
ish them water, but have been un
successful. An especial attempt was
made by Jennings. Lodge, withit
avail. They then decided to secure,
in a cooperative way, their own water
supply.
The district is expected to extend
from Jennings Lodge to the Lakewood
road near Milwaukie, although the de
finite boundaries are not decided. A

Division of District
The matter of the division of the
school district at Union was presented
to the boundary board Saturday after
noon The session, which was occu
pied with the taking of testimony,'
lasted for the greater part of the af
ternoon. No conclusion was reached
by the board, which took the matter
under advisement.
Two elements from the district
were present. The ' divisionists con
tended that the location of the new
school building; which is in the goo
graphical center of the district, is not
suited- for the best interests of the
communities served. A delegation was
also present, urging that the district
be kept whole, and that one school
instead of two smaller schools, remain.
. LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 7. The
"blue funk" that prevailed in the com
mercial world eight or nine months
ago is now a thing of the past.
There has been a decided change in
the mental attitude of the nation's
leadens who keep the wheels of busi
ness humming.
Confidence is rapidly being restored
in every section of the United States.
The armies of unemployed are grad
ually being put back to work and be
fore long more idle toilers will have
returned to factory- and bench.
. Money is going to be more plenti
ful. Interest rates will be lower.
Liberty bonds are going to rise in
value from now on.
The above observations constitute a
consensus of opinion of the 3500 bank
ers who have been in attendance at
the forty-seventh annual convention
of the American Bankers' association
which concluded its sessions today.
Mr Lonsdale, the president elect cf
the national bank division of the bank
ers' organizaton. said:
"In my opinion the one big problem
remaining to he settled is that of tax
ation. Once this is lightened then any
restrictions on industry will be lifted
and we will see old fashioned boom

Former Oregon City
Man Wins Big Prize
Two thousand dollars is rolling
through the mails to Victor Hugo
Paquet, 635 East Nineteenth street
North, Portland, because he won first
prizu m the Cosmopolitan s ou') J
prize award contest based on the plot
of Louis Joseph Vance's' novel, ''Alias
the Lone Wolf," which concluded in
the September issue.
Paquet, who is 42 years of age, is
a member of an Oregon pioneer fam
ily of 1852. He was born in Oregon
City. He has lived in Portland since
1893 except for eleven years spent in
the East.
His mother, Mrs. S. EI Reese, lives
at 635 Eat Nineteenth street North,
Porrland. Joseph Paquet. an uncle,
is a director of the East Side bank.
A married sister also lives in Port
land
the name of the firm is not an
nounced. The question of keeping traffic open
has been under consideration for son. e
time. Recently a committee repre
senting Oregon City, West Linn, the
Commercial Club was appointed to act
with the county court, and is at pres
ent investigating the cost of a ferry,
to report at a meeting October 17. The
proposals for the operation of. a toll
ferry will he presented at this meet
ing. There has been contention upon the
part of the cities and industrial plains
affected, that in as much as the traf-
. fic problem involves the entire eo'in-
! 1y, the costs should be borne by the
; county. The court contends that as
i the two cities are most affected by
the problem, them should be willing
to bear part of the cost
Plan is Favored
It is understood, that the toll ferry
will meet with, the approbation of the
court. At the hearing on the ques
tion which was held last Friday, Judge
Cross stated that he did not beiieve
that the county could afford to pay
the $30,000 which would be necessary
in order to furnish a boat during the
year's period.
Judge cross said unofficially that

Lee said yesterday that he contem
plated, if the franchise were awarded,
to make a fare charge of five cens,
charging 25, cents for automobiles and
25 cents a ton for freight If the
traffic warranted it, he said, he would
be willing to operate two ferries, one
for pedestrians and the other fcr autos

would give first consideration.

The meeting is being held for the
purpose of furthering co-operation be

A banquet will be served in the
Woodburn armory and an address of

The Clackamas county realtors, ac
cording to T. F. Meeds, secretary of
the local board, are very much inter
ested' in this centralized system. It
represents one of. the most recent de
velopments in the system of market
ing real estate.
This system, according to Mr. Mesds
has been developed to an k efficient
point in Marion county and the locai
men expect to gain an intimate un
derstanding of the system through
their meeting Monday night. .
A program of entertainment is also
being arranged with J. A. Mills .,of
Salem, accompanied by Miss Wage

from the Clackamas association. Gor
don J. Taylor, editor of the Molaa
Pioneer, is also on the program for a
short talk. Martha Malory, s-tudent
at Willamette university, will be a ik
ed to give a reading.
Oregon City has entered upon its
fourth month without a health offi
cer officially recognized by both state
and county.
The fact that there has been no ad
justment of affairs s?nce the position
became garbled on July 1, came to
light Saturday when the county court
held up the bill of Dr. O. A. Welsh
for services for three months as health
officer here.
When, effective July 1, the court ,
appointed W. E. Hempstead to the
position without removing Dr. O. A.
Welsh a controversy over the job
arose, and the state board of health
ruled that the incumbent physician
could not be removed without a hear
ing. Under this ruling Dr. Welsh has
held the position, but his bills for
salary, have been regularly held up.
Expenses Paid
Last month a bill was turned in for
services, and inadvertedly ordered
paid. It was taken back by the court
and held, but Welsh's claim for ex
penses of tne ofifce, amounting ta
$16.S5 was authorized.
This month, according to. law, the
salary of the health officer falls due.
It had been the habit to pay it month
ly altho the law prescribes hat it
shall not be paid less frequenly than
quarterly. But both the bill for ser
vices and the expense account were
held by the court and not returned
with the regular grist of claims which
came bac to the. county clerk's of- -f
ice.
. The payment of the county health
officer is in the hands ot the court,
but . once the doctor- is appointed, it
has not the power of removal without
preferring charges against him b-"-fore
the state commission.
Situation Uncertain
This situation appears still to bo
Va a state of uncertainty Dr. Welsh
Is recognized by the state board, auil
has been making the reports of the
work here. Dr. Hempstead withdrew
from actively waging his contention
for ihe office to await the final out
come, due to the fact that he did not
wish o complicate a situation which
might be detrimental to the public
health.
In refusing to authorize the pay
ment of Welsh, the ccunty court prac
tically reiterates its claim that their
appointee shou'.d stand. . No explan
ation however, is made of the fact
that the expense account for the
month of August was authorized,
while all other claims, salary included
have been held up.
Time for Payment
Of Taxes Expires
Date& for payment of . the second
half of taxes due on the 1920 assess
ment lapsed the middle of this week.
All taxes not paid are now delinquent
and the penalty is 1 per cent a month,
or 12 per cent a year on the amount
unpaid.
If not paid by November 5, there
a penalty of 5 per cent added, and of
course every month after this adds
one per cent. Thus if the second in
stallment of taxes is not paid by De
cember 5, the penalty would amount
to 7 per cent. Six month3 after taxes
are due and unpaid, a tax certificate
of delinquency may be issued against
the property and this at once becomes
a lien. This certificate of delinquency
is issued on demand of any person
and will be issued to any person who
pays delinquent taxes and interest.
Three years after a certificate of
delinquency has been issued, the pro
perty may be sold on a judgment ren
dered in court, the sheriff making the
sale. The land then becomes the pro
perty of the purchaser, just as any
land that is sold by the sheriff on a
judgment.
The law gives those who may have
some interest in i he property o n
which taxes are" unpaid, the first
right to pay delinquent taxes and the
first right to be issued a certificate of
delinquency.
