First action to test the new Oregon
City bus ordinance, wjiich provides
that all cars carrying passengers from
a point outside the city limits thru
to town, to another point outside its
limits, must have a local franchise,
was taken today when E. William
Dent, 403 Labee building, Portland,
and manager of the Portland, Salem
and Albany stage line, was arrested
here for failure to secure a municipal
permit.
Charge is Technical
Dent, through arrangement with the
local officials came here today to
answer to a technical charge in vio
lation of the ordinance which was
passed November 12. Taken- before
City Recorder Kelly, through his at
torney Phillip Hammond, he requested
time to plead. The trial was set for
December 2, when it is expected a plea
of not guilty will be entered. The
case is to be carried into the supreme
court.
Oregon City has two traffic ordi
nance 'test cases now in court. An or
dinance recently passed, provided for
a $30 a quarter license for all trucks
delivering goods in Oregon City for
resale. This was protested by Port
land wholesalers who are defendants
in an action now pending before the
circuit court.
Busses Do Not Stop Here
The Portland-Salem stage line is at
present not taking passengers to Ore
gon elf?. due to the fact that this con
flicts with local laws already i n
force. The twelve busses, which op
erate upon an hourly schedule run
through Oregon City but are not al
lowed to stop here.
"We do. not object to paying a li
cense if we are allowed to stop here,"
said Mr. Dent yesterday. "I do not
believe that it will be found legal for
any municipality to hold up transpor
tation over streets that are practically
public highways. As far as taxes are
concerned, we pay wherever we are
granted a franchise, pay for the privil
ege of using Portland as a terminal
and pay eight per cent of all fares
over 41 cents which we collect."

Engineers Confer On Design;
Heavier Span May Be
Decided Upon
Plans for the temporary bridge
which is- to span the Willamette, dur
ing the time that the new concrete
structure is being built, are being
worked out by the engineers of A.
Guthrie and company, contractors,
and engineers of the city and co-unty
court.
A ten foot bridge, to be bult at Fifth
street is the present plan, and it ia
probable that the first structure con
templated will be found too light. Al
though the size of the bridge is not
to be enlarged it will likely be made
heavier than the original drawings
called for.
R. E. Furrow and C. P. Ricbards,
engineers on the new bridge work
are representing the county in the
consideration of the new pans. Harry
Baxter and Frank Sullivan of the
Crown-Willamette are also working
on the design. J. R. Stafford repre
sents Oregon CHr.
It is probable that the plan will be
completed by the end of the week.
Permission to construct the bridge
must be obtained from the war depart
ment, and telegraphic communication
is under way to secure a permit in the
least possible time. As soon as the
plans are okehed, work will be com
menced. .
The contractors who also are con
structing the new span have agreed to
keep the old bridge open to traffic un
til the temporary structure is com
plet3. During the year's period that
the bridge will be down only foot traf
fic will be cared for.
Snowbound in the woods some eight
miles from Blalock three days after
leaving Oregon City on a wild goose
hunt, a party of four composed of
Julius Spasle. .-ihcnias Kelland, Ste
phen Meeds and J Burgoyne wer-s
missing for'nenrly a week
Spaglc succeeded in returning . t c
Oregon City Irlday. His companions
are still snowbound in a cabin ic tho
I lalock country (
The' party left here November 16,
going to Blalock via Hood Rivr. They
established themselves in a deserted
cabin belonging to an old farmer of
their acquaintance. Friday, ihe 18th,
it began to snow. They had found
no geese and what few had been seen
were far out of gunshot range.
Snowfall is Heavy
DuririP- the night iV-ere was a heavy
gale and snow was coming down in
great flakes. The weather had turned
much colder, and it was necessary to
ear from the blankets strips tt be
used as covering for their ears.
Following breakfast on Saturday
morning, the men made an attempt t-
move their Fords in the deep snow
and try to make it for home. After
goinu but a short distance they found
the wheels refused to turn in tho
deep enow. There was no telephone
to adviso their families here, cf their
predicament. They made the be-s-t of
it and decided to return to camp and
wait until opportunity to get out.
Trail is Lost
Spagle and Kelland braved the snow
and started for Arlington, and -nile
on their trip took several shots at
wild geese they happened to see, but
not one of these full. They -soon lost
their Jrail in the blinding snow, and
traveled on until they came to a sheep
camp, where they were served pipiug
hot coffee, and sundwehes. This
was about three miles from Arlington
nnd snow waist deep. Sheep w re suf-1
ferir.g and were without food. The
sheepmen were not prepared far the
sudden cold weather and there were
1000 "head huddled together m t h j
t-now, while thousands of V.hers ;:i j
the mountains also 'v;tho.ut shelter J
and food. r
Giving up the idea of getting into
Arlington Spagle and Kelland started
back to the cabin The wind was
blowing steadily and snow facing
rapidly blinding them as they trudged
along. They discovered a straw
stack, and had about decided to re
main there for the night by burrowing
in under the stack to protect them
from the cold night, when the weather
changed and the travelers decided to
keep a going until the cabin was
i eached at 6 p. m.
Spagle Starts Return
It was now up to Spagle to get back
to Oregon Citj', for when leaving here
lied intended remaining but two or
three days. He made a second start.
This time it was on horseback Several
others, who were stalled in that sec
tion, were ali o to make the trip in the
same manner. The sheepmen cam to
their rescue and rented the horses to
the men. It was a long journey thru
that deep snow and slow progress was
made. The .men traveld all night.
When Blaloek was reached it was
found that trains were stalled, so
Spagle's troubles were beginning
again. At The Dalles he found snov
piled high in the streets, and no trains
leaving. All were depending upon
the boats Among the passengers
were Mr. Spagle's brother, Frank
Spagle,' school teacher, an his wite.
who were just coming in from oue of
the snow covered sections to remain
at the home, of County Commissioner
Hicks,, father of Mrs. Spagle, JuliU3
Spagle was also invited to remain at
this home until the steamer left '"or
Portland.
Kelland, Burgoyne and Meeds ave
V.till at the cabin, for there is no
chance of gettirg their Fords ouf ! un
til the weather moderates. In places
he snow is banked high and no
chance of pettina the machnes thru.
The relatives of the travelers haw
leen much concerned over their ab
sence, and there was rejoicing when
ther safety was reported.
WATER SERVICE'
TO OREGON CITY
NOW RESTORED
New Suspension Bridge to be
tSuut at Iear Creek
In Near Future'
Watei service toN Oregon City was
restored at 3:15 o'clock Saturday af
ternoon, when the repairs to the pipa
line at clear Creek .vero completed.
A six-inch pipe, ' suspended upoa
cables, now spans the 140 foot break
which was washed out when the creek
battered down the susrtnsion bridge
which was built three years ago. The
break in the n.ain- whi::h is the only
source of supply to Oregon City, was
reported Mond.iy noon From 'that
time Oregon City as been upon a ra
tioned consumption.
Repair crews were rushed to the job
Tuesday morning, -out owing to the
high water were forced to go through
Maplo Lane. The auto truck became
stuck and it was necessary to secure
teams to transport the 'material to
Clear Creek. The temporary repair
was made under iiiriculty lectus the
men were forced to work' in a steady
downpour, and wade through nearly
live feet of mud
The repairs were in charge of Fred
McCausland. water superintendent.
The 16-inch pipe which was washed
out, Mr McCausland says. :s on the
bottom of the creek bed and can be.
-alvaged, and replaced upon a new
suspension bridge which will be built
within the coming two weeks.
The old bridge was built four feet '
above the highest tide that was ever
recorded in 'that district, and it was
believed fully large enough to care
for any emergencv. in rebulding the
bridge. Mr. McCausland will raise it
seven feet above the high water mark
The break was caused w hen a log jam
carriet on the creM ;f in high VMter,
struck the old Vridse. cjrry ng it out.
Satuiday ?eniue the mam r-.tervoir
still had a million gallon supply. There
were between four and five million
galons in the reservoirs last Monday,
and the normal consumption is A000.
000 gallons a day. This indicated,
Mr MuCausland says, that the necple
of the city were very conserving in
iheir use of water during the emer
cencv nerod
- .- v
Wth the temporary line in opera
lion, water service is now complete y
restored. The water was utrned into
ihe line t 3:15, and started to run
into the reservoirs at nine o'clock.
CONDITIONS IN
COUNTRY VIEWED
WITH OPTIMISM
S. P. MAY AID IN
MOVEMENT
OF R. R. AVENUE
RENOVATION OF DEPOT
DELAYED 90 DAYS
Time Extension is Granted by
( Commission; Plans to
be Worked Out
Extension of time for the improve
ment of the Southern Pacific depot at
Oregon City has been granted by the
Public Service commission.
September 10 an order was issued
hy the commission as the result of a
protest and hearing here, requiring
the S." P. to construct a new freight
depot, establish facilities for the
handling of livestock and renovate the"
preent station building. The improve
ments were to be made within three
months.
Survey is Made
Railroad officials have already made
a survey of the property here with the
view to improving, but no action has
yet been taken. With, the consent of
the city a delay- of 90 days was grant
ed during which time arrangements
for the improvements are to be com- -pleted.
The chief reason for the
postponment of the date of completion
I is that the city is desirous of open
ing up Railroad avenue. As this would
involve the railroad company,' an ef
fort is to be made to merge the im
provement of the depot and the open
ing of the street. . By the improve
ment of Railroad avenue, the driveway
to the present freight depot could be
improved, which was one of the re
quirements made in the commission's
order. ,;
Objection Likely
.No definite plans have been worked
out as ' yet. The railroad objects to
the building of a separate freight de
pot as this would require the purchase
of additional property and it is possi
ble that they will apply for a modifi- -cation
of this order.
Altho a delay of 90 days has been
generally agreed to, it is believed that
any further extenson of time upon the
part of the company will be vigorously
protested.

THE MARCH OF PROGRESS
Ned "Do you . remember the old
joke about the rural gent coming to
town and blowing out the gas when he
went to bed tired?"
Ted " Sure thing, and now he steps
on the gas, and the blowouts are in the
wheels that are tired."

Disarmament Favored
"Regarding the disarmament con

general feeling that much is tc be ex

limitation of arms but ic -.seems that
the people as well as the press are of
the opinion that the nations must, and
will get together upon some construc

Willingness of the Oriental count

ELK LODGE PLANS
CHRISTMAS RIND TO
AID POOR FAMILIES
Minstrel Show to be Staged
Here; Holiday Program
Is Practical One
That the real spirit of old Saint
Nicholas might prevail; that htose in
need may receive the good cheer
of the holidays in substantial form;
local Elks are planning to play good
fellows to the destitute families of
Oregon City and the surrounding dis
trict this Christmas.
In order to provide a fund 'to carry
out the idea, the Portland Elks Min
strel show will be staged in Oregon
City December 13. The minstrels are
making a tour of the state and putttng
on the entertainment for different
lodges in order to aid the B. P. O. E
to make Christmas a real help to
those in want.
Survey is Made
A survey by the iocal Elks Lodge
shows that there are more than 45
families in this vicinity who are in
actual want. It is to take care of
these that the fund is being raised.
Their program will specialize upon
substantial things. " Instead of loli
pops, there will be a sack of spuds
instead of cakes and cookies a sack
of floui? things that will go toward
real aid where it is needed. While
they are not planning to overlook the
sentiment of the occasion, every ef
fort is being made to outline their
work so that the maximum good can
obtain from their efforts.
Professionals in Cast
All of the money from the show will
be turned into the Christmas fund.
No free tickets will be issued. Even
members of the committees will pay
their way. The Minstrels include 45
members of the Portland lodge, half
f whom are professionals. They are
directed by the same man who made
such a- success of the Doughboy's
Follies recently staged in Portland.
Committees in charge of. the affair
are:
