James Abraham, seventeen-year-old
youth who is in the county jail
charged with the writing of an
anonymous letter threatening the life
of Roy Yoder, may be tried' in the
juvenile court, according- to the state
ment of District Attorney Livy Stipp.
Definite decision, however, has not
been reached.
Abraham is charged, upon a com
plaint signed by local officials, with
penning a letter to the cousin of SI
mon Yoder, who was murdered mear
Woodburn last March. The letter
contains the terse information that the
youiiKer Yoder was bo.kc.fi In be

letter, nnd mr.4ntains thar hi fcnews
nothing of th Yoder murder except
what lrc has 1 p?rd. H adroit? how
ever, that the letter, shown him by
the officials, is practically identical
with his own handwriting. A hand
writing expert who examined speci
mens of Abrahams writing believes it
identical with the letter. The lad.
says that his arrest is a frame-up,
though Tuesday afternoon he denied
the published statements, accredited
to him, to the affect that the local of
ficials, who caused his arrest were re
sponsible for the alleged "frame up.'
He states that his predicament is the
result of a row with someone who, for
the present, he says he is unwilling to
name, but says that this person is out
side of official circles.

Vienna Misery Riot
Stops All Business
VIENNA, Dec. 2. Virtually all bus
iness was suspended today as a con
sequence of the serious rioting which
raged here yesterday. Damage is es
timated by the newspapers at many
billons of crowns.
Engineers who drove the tunnel
through Elk rock for the Southern Pa
cific electric line made a most re
markable record of accuracy in plan
ning the bore, reports to Southern
Pacific officials indicate.
Working from either end of the
giant monolith which juts out from
the west bank of the Willamette river
near Oswego construction crews
worked toward each other on a big
arc. When the crews came together
at the peak of the arc and the debris
was cleared out, it was found that the
two bores came together only one-
eighth of an inch away from center.
The length of the tunnel arc was
figured carefully before the work was
started. When the bore was completed
it was found that the bores from
either end overlapped only three-quar
ters of an inch, which meant that
each of the gangs figured they had to
go three-eighths of an inch farther
than they did.
In consideration of the length o
the tunnel, 1395 feet, construction
leaders said if the figures had been
more exact they would have thought
something was wrong. The work was
done by the Hauser Construction
company and Scott E. Cordon was
chief engineer.
Within 10 days the tunnel will be
placed in service aud electric trains
operating on the west side will aban
don the trestle, which has carried
trains around the face of the rock
since the road was constructed.
Domestic Science
Classes Will Meet
Final arrangements have been made
for the domestic science and art class
es to be given in Room 27 of the Ore
gon City high school building with
Miss Marine Reitan as instructor, who
is working here under the direction
of the government. Miss Reitan is
well posted in this line of work, and
she is much encouraged over the pros.
pect of large classes both in millin
ery, needlework, art as well as cook
ery and home-nursing.
The following are the evenings ar
ranged by Miss Reitan: Tuesday eve
ning, 7:30 Sewing. Wednesday eve
ning, 7:30 Millinery. Friday eve
ning, 7:30 Cooking. The evening for
the instruction in home nursing will
be announced later. Those desiring
to arrange for any study may com
municate with Miss Reitan by tele
phone 441-R.
RESPONSIBILITY PLACED
FOR RED BLUFF ACCIDENT
PORTLAND, Nov. 2. (Special),
Responsibility for the death of 14
high school students is placed upon
the driver of motor bus by the Board
of Inquiry appointed to inquire into
the crossing accident which happened
near Red Bluff Wednesday morning
to telegraphic report just received by
Wm. Sproule, President of the South
ern Pacific. This accident occurred
when the Mulino-Red Bluff high school
stage was struck by Southern Pacific
train No. 15. The 14th victim died
today. The Board of Inquiry places
full responsibility for the accident
upon the driver of the motor bus and
fully exonerates the railroad and its-
employes. The automobile . bus was
owned and operated by the Red Bluff
Union High school. The Board rec
ommends that a suitable law be en
acted (requiring drivers of automo
biles to stop, look and listen before
attempting to cross railroad tracks
at grade.
James Abraham, 17, of Woodburn,
was arrested Monday by Clackamas
county authorities upon a warrant
charging him with the writing of an
anonymous letter threatening the life
of Roy Yoder, cousin of Simon J.
Yoder, whose murder near Woodburn
last March has never been solved
A letter mailed in Oregon City on
Armistice day, postmarked November
12, 7 a. m, was received by Roy Yo
der in Oregon City, reading: "Roy
Yoder down by the Bartlett. Your
time is coming to. The nights of the
road have condem you to die. We
got the reward you are looking for,
the nights of the road."
HADLEY INVESTIGATES
The letter was turned over to Chief
of Police J. L. Hadley of Oregon City
whose investigations have led to Abra
ham's arrest. Abraham was taken in
to custody at 3 o'clock Monday after
noon at Woodburn by Constable Ed.
Fortune who served a -warrant signed
by the local police officials. Abraham
stoutly maintains his innocence, and
has wjaived a preliminary hearing,
being held to await the action of the
circuit court grand jury. He is in the
county jail in default of $2,000 bail..
The Yoder murder has been under
investigation since the date of the
crime, and the officers are holding
Abraham and will bring him to trial
in an effort to determine whether or
not the anonymous letter, for which
he is believed responsible, has any
bearing upon the case.
The letter,' together with a manu
script known to have been written by
Abraham, has been submitted to
handwriting experts for comparison.
MURDER IS RECALLED
Simon J. Yoder was murdered on
the night of Saturday, March 5, 1921.
Two men hired the garage man by
phoning from the Moore Drug Store
in Woodburn. They stated that they
were bound for Portland. At 11 o'clock
a man residing near Gervais heard a
single shot.
Sunday morning the body of Yoder,
shot through the back of the head, wa3
found in the ditch along side of the
road near Gervais. The Willys
Knight car was missing.
Officers arrested Harry Staben at
Woodburn and "Dutch" Wilson at Ore
gon City. The former was held for
some time, altho the latter was re
leased shortly after his imprisonment.
Neither was found to have been sut
ficiently connected with the case to
warrant official action.
The people of Woodburn, a week
later, posted a $1,000 reward for the
capture of Yoder's murderer, which
is still standing.

The recent movement to have

raised from five to eight cents nas
been dropped by th$ company, accord
ing to the announcement of the Pub
lic Service Commission.
The line which operates from Bol
ton, West Linr4..nd. Wilamette was
scheduled for a rise in price, and a
hearing had been set for December 2.
With the failure of the company to
present its claim at the hearing, the
matter was automatically dropped,
tho a number of citizens from the af
fected districts were waiting to pre
sent objections to any increase.
Aurora Plans Boom
In New Organization
AURORA, Dec 1. Aurora has
adopted as a program for 1922 a
Knights of .Pythias home, new high
school, more homes, cannery, cream
ery, new camp grounds, and a Fourth
of July celebration for the Willamette
valley.
An increase of b39 children in
Clackamas county between the ages
of four and 20, is revealed in the 1921
school census which was ' completed
here Saturday.
The number of children over four
and under 20 in the county this Octo
ber, when the census just tabulated,
was taken, was 12,679. Last year the
number was 12,040. Division of this
year's census into boys and girls has
not yet been completed.
The growth, according to County
School Superitendent Brenton Vedder,
is for the most part due to the num-.
ber of families which are moving in.
With a stable population, he points
out, the average would remain the
same, for statisticians figure that the
ratio between children of school age
to the entire population is constant,
being approximately 1 to 3.1.
A notable fact about the school cen
sus this year is that the biggest part
of the increase In the number of
children is found in the north end of
the county, especially in the commun
ities bordering the main arteries of
travel. In the south end, there are a
number of districts which show a
slight falling- off, though several have
a remarkable gain. In the northern
part of the county however, there is
the largest distributed growth.
Oregon city this year has a list to
talling 1902. against 1678 in 1920. This
gain of 224 is accounted for by the
fact that the Mt. Pleasant and Ore
gon City districts were combined. The
ML Pleasant census, however, taken
by itself, totals 149, leaving a growth
for Oregon .City proper of 75 during
the year. ' In Oregon City there " are
989 boys listed as against 862 the year
before and 913 girls where there were
816 last year.

AT CELILO
O. W. R. & N. Detour Scene
Of Fatal Collision; Six
Of Dead Identified
Ten persons were killed and . 60
others injured when two O.-W. R. &
N. passenger trains. No. 12, east
bound, and No. 17, westbound,
crashed together in a head-on col
lision a half mile east of Celilo, Or.,
at 12:30 a. m., yesterday.
The bodies of six trainmen and pas
sengers have been identified and re
moved to the morgue at The Dalles.
Workmen engaged in clearing- the
mass of wreckage yesterday afternoon
came upon the bodies of four men
near the forward end of train No. 17.
They were believed to have been tran
sients beating thir way on the west
bound train and it was considered pro
bable that positive identification
might never be made.
Because of the damage sustained by
the railroad bridge at Eagle Creek
all O.-W. R & N. trains were being
routed over the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle line between Portland and
Celilo. Train No. 12, the Spokane
limited, had just crossed over to the
O.-W. R. & N. tracks and . had pro
ceeded eastward but a short distance
when train No. 17, out of Chicago with
Portland as its destination, came
crashing into it on a deep fill a short
distance out of Celilo.
Both Engines Demolished
Both trains were traveling over the
same track because of the detour, al
though there is a double track sys
tem at this point. Both engines were
entirely demolished, and two coaches
of train No. 17 left the track, badly
wrecked, while a Ions tourist sleep
ing coach in train No. 12 was dam
aged. This car was telescoped. Al
though the Pullman porter, Yarbor
ough, . in this coach was killed al
most outright, none of the other pas
sengers were injured. Nearly all the
injuries and fatalities were sustained
by passengers and employes of train
No. 17.

DELEGATE RESIGNS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. P. K. C.
Tyau, the secretary general of Chinese
delegation, has wired his resignation
to the Peking government, it is learn
ed from authoritative sources, as a
protest against the "wrong tactics" of
the Chinese delegates to the Arms
Conference in coping with the secret
diplomacy that has been going on be
hind closed doors of the Pan-American
building for the past few weeks.
Oregon City patrons of the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company.
whose phones were put out of com
mission by the storm, will receive
credit for the time lost when they
make their January payments.
According to the advice of Fred C-
Buchtel of the public service com
mission, this rebate will be establish
ed over the portions of the state which
have been suffering from the recent
bad weather conditions.
"We appreciate that this service in
terruption was beyond the control of
the company, and further realize the
abnormal expense incurred in your
efforts promptly to rebuild and rehab
ilitate the destroyed plant," Buchtel
writes. "Nevertheless, it is our opin
ion, that a patron should not be re
quired to pay for the elapsed time
wherein his phone was actually out
of use.
"Knowing that your records are so
kept , as to permit of authentic deter
mination of the time of reestablish-
ment of service in the various indi
vidual cases, we advise that such steps
be taken as will enable your company
to refund, in the form of a credit on
ensuing bills, that amount to which
the subscriber is equitably entitled
"Inasmuch as the December tnlls
are now in course of distribution, we
apprehend that the credits, where due,
will be shown on the January state
ments."

The trouble with the state of Ore
gon, according to Mayor George L.
Baker, of Portland, is that there Is
too much overhead in proportion to
the business and the population. The
remedy is get more people and get
more business.
Mayor Baker was speaking to the
Live Wires of the Commercial Club
at their regular luncheon' here Tues
day noon. The 1925 Exposition form
ed the theme of his talk. He made a
plea for the fostering of the vision
which builds empires, makes nations
prosper and develops state and com-
munity. The 1925 Exposition, he said,
is the way to increase the;population
and business of the state and by work
ing together, put Oregon 25 years
ahead.
ADVERTISE; SAYS MAYOR
Mayor Baker drew a striking paral
lel with California and the good that
has accrued to them through the ad
vertising which has brought within
their borders $365,000,000 in tourist
trade annually . "And California,"
said the mayor, "has nothing to sell
but sunshine But they have a, bunch
of boosters unexcelled upon the face
of the earth. That is what has made
them known over the entire country.
Oregon, with its wonderful mountains,
rivers and verdant forests has God
made possibilities. It is up to the
people to advertise, as California has,
and show the nation and the world
the advantages,, scenically and indus
trially of the great Northwest."
MOSS BACKS SCORED
Every progressive movement in the
state and in the city of Portland the .
mayor showed, has been opposed. The
Interstate bridge, the Columbia high-
CD ATM fW T L' L T T I Li' L 3' P"-" C uut&a, auu yet luuajr
SrAiN KJ V JCiJLX XXX V XLXX I the very opponents of these projects
point with pride to the benefit which
they have brought. Thus, he said,
will it be with the Exposition. The
unprogressive element will see only
the expense of staging such a gi
gantic affair, and will not consider
that as one item alone, the automo
bile travel will bring into Oregon
more than ten times what the fair
will cost. The result will be that
every person who comes will return
home, a walking advertisement for
Oregon, giving settlers and Investors
a new field, with the wide scope of
the big west, for their activities.
"We must give the tourist of the .
world an objective in 1925" said the -Mayor
Baker. "People will not travel
just to go here and there. They go
to a definite location, regardless of
how they travel. Some may go to
Yellowstone Park, to Rainier, to Cal
ifornia, but they all start out with a
definite idea in mind. It is up to
Oregon to make this state the termi
nal, to draw the travel this way, so
that the world wil lbecome acquaint
ed with what we have to offer. God
gave us this state in all its grandeur
and with all its resources. But God
will not do it all. Man must perform -
his share.
We built highways spent $65,-
000,000 on our roads. There are three
transcontinental highways leading to
Franchise Action ? Tfl
must, as California has done, let them
know that there is something here
worth coming across a continenet to
enjoy. Then in future years, we will
profit from the influx of people here
as the result of our advertising. This
is not a thing for the present, but
something which will extend ini its
influence 50 years into the future." '
The mayor drew an apt parallel
with 1116 Pacific Highway, recently
completed to Oregon City. The new
bridge, he said, represented the com
pletion of a fine improvement, which
would have lost its significance had
the old bridge been left standing.
Thus, he inferred, would the exposi
tion act to the progress and advance
ment of Oregon the final step in the
present era of development to build
a greater state and foster bigger and
finer communities.
Harry Baxter and E. F. Sullivan, re
presenting the Crown-Willamette Pa
pr company and West Linn; R. A.
Furrow and C. P. Richards, represent
ing Clackamas county, and 3. R. Staf
ford, representing Oregon City, Thurs
day approved the plans for the tem
porary bridge designed to care for
foot passengers between Oregon City
and West Linn, while the new span
is under construction. The contract
ors have agreed to several changes de
signed to strengthen the structure.
These changes will increase the
cost by practically $1000. The east
end of the bridge will be at Fifth
street, and work on the new struc
ture will commence at once.
The schedule time for closing the
old bridge had been set for January
1, but under an agreement made with
the contractors the old bridge will
be kept open to traffic until the
temporary structure is completed.
The bridge isi to be ten feet wide,
and will carry foot traffic only. It is
estimated that its construction will,
under normally favorable conditions.
require in the neighborhood of sixty
days.
Plea Entered In
E. William Dent, manager of the
Portland-Salem and Albany bus lines,
Friday entered a plea before recorder
C. v. Kelly, of not guilty, and his at
torneys gave notice that they intend
ed to demur to the complaint. Dent
was arrested last Tuesday for viola
tion of the newly framed interurban
bus law, requiring all stages and
trucks passing through the city to
obtain a franchise.
It is understood that the law will be
attacked upon the ground that it is
unconstitutional. The case is in the
nature of a test to determine the val
idity of the statute.
Work Is Begun On
Temporary Bridge
Work has commenced on the tem
porary bridge across the Willamette
which will care for traffic while the
old bridge is closed to travel.
The superintendent in charge of
the work announces that the tempor
ary bridge will be completed in six
weeks. The old bridge will then be
stripped, leaving only the piers and
cables which are to be used in hoist
ing steel for the new bridge.
BABE RUTH SUSPENDED
CHICAGA, 111., Dec. 5. Babe Ruth's
share of the world's series profits in
921 were declared forfeited and Rurh
himself suspended until May 20, 1922,
by Commissioner K. M. Landis in a
ecision today, fixing punishment for
the New York Yankee ball player for
participating in a post season barn
storming tour.
Ruth .may apply for reinstatement
on May 20, or within ten days after
that date, Commissioner Landis said.
Increase In Dues to
O. S. T. A. Requested
An increase in the dues of the Ore
gon State Teachers Association, so
that a portion of the payments can be
given to county chapters for the fi
nancing of their activities, is recom
mended as an amendment to the con
stitution of the organization by the
executive committee of the Clacka
mas County division.
It is recommended that the dues be
increased from $1 to $1.50 and the ex
tra 50 cents per membership be paid
to the county divisions. This would
aid in the more active work as foster
ed by the branches of the association.
The local dues of the individual coun
ty associations amount to 50 cents. '
The State Teachers Association has
been Indentified with some of the
most progressive movements of re
cent years.
