The largest moonshine outfit found
in Clackamas county for many months
was discovered by the officials Tues
day afternoon on the A. Alder ranch
two miles east of Sunnyside.
The outfit consisted of two stills,
one 40 and one 20 gallon, each operat
ed by a pressure gas tank and burner.
Sixty-two gallons of finished moon
shine were found and thirty gallons
of -wine. Mash, totaling more than
150 gallons was destroyed.
The raid was made by Sheriff W.
J. Wilson, Deputies Long and Hughes,
Constable Lowe and two revenue men.
The found the stills and the liquor in
the basement of the Alder house on
the 25 acre ranch. Alex Becker, em
ployed on the ranch was arrested and
is being held in jail pending a hear
ing in the justice court. A warrant
for Alder's arrest has been issued as
he was not at home at the time of the
raid.
Sheriff "Wilson declared the stills
to be among the finest that he has
ever secured. ' They were made com
pletely of copper with pressed rather
than soldered joints.
PORTLAND, Jan. 10. At the meet
ing of the state highway commission
today, John B- Yeon and his colleague,
Commissioner Barratt, let it be known
that the highway commission expects
Multnomah to make good on its gen
tlemen's agreement restive to the
Mount Hood loop.
The commission doesn't care what
sort of county money Multnomah puts
into the loop so long as the state is
reimbursed for what it has advanced
for the county. Multnomah county
commissioners are not held responsi
ble for the failure to make good on
the agreement, the responsibility be
ing placed on the decision of the tax
supervising and conservation commission.
All in good time, the highway com
mission intends taking steps in the
matter and the commissioners haven't
the slightest doubt as to the ultimate
liquidation of the obligation.
The tax commission recently disap
proved of the agreement of Multno
mah county for the spending of funds
on the road outside of her boundaries.
A large portion 'of this fund was to
be spent in Clackamas, but Multno
mah agreed to the financing because
the road is largely to her benefit.
Charles L. Purcell, of the bureau of
public roads announced at the meet
ing that the government policy for
18-foot pavements, saying the govern
ment considers a 16-foot pavement as
not a two-way road. This, however, !
and other matters are to be taken up j
at the Friday conference.

Considering Cut
In Laborer's Pay
Reduction of wages paid to laborers
on road work, is being considered by
the Clackamas county court. Although
nj definite decision has been reached
it is understood that some cut will be
made.
A farmer from the Wilsonville sec
tion who appeared before the court,
urged the reduction of common labor
to $2 a day and the cutting of pay for
a man with a team to $4 a day.
Common laborers in the county pay
are now drawing $3 a day for practio
ally all types of unskilled labor.

Court May Settle
County Health Job
Virtual agreement that Dr. Orel A.
Welsh will remain health officer of
Clackamas county is the interpreta
tion given an order filed Monday
by the county court, fixing the salary
for that office at the minimum of $25
a month allowed by law. This marks
the beginning of the end of an official
fight which has been waged here for
the past six months.
July 1, the county court attempted
to combine the offices of county phy
sician and health officer under Dr. W.
E. Hempstead, it was found that
Welsh could not be removed without
action before the state health board.
Under pressure Welsh refused to re
sign, and his bills for salary were
stopped. The county court refused
payment, contending that Hempstead
was the legal health officer. The state
board upheld Welsh, and for the last
six months of 1921, the position was
disputed.
MINIMUM IS SET
Due to the statement of County
Judge H. E. Cross, that if Welsh were
not removed the salary would be re
reduced to the legal minimum, the or
der fled Monday is regarded as an
indication that the court has conclud
ed that Welsh will retain the office.
The change, according to the judge, is
made in the interest of economy,
which he says, was the reason for the
attempt to combine the offices origin
ally. Welsh, who has served nine years,
being reappointed after an absence
while in the army, has been receiving
$5S.33 a month and expenses. No or-
PLAN ADVANCED TO AID
NEEDY WAR VETERANS
der was ever made fixing this salary,
but because a $700 allowance was
made in the budget, the figure was
obtained by dividing by 12. The order
of the court however, is retroactive
to January 1, 1921. There is a doubt
as to whether this provision of the
order wi'l hold, and reduce the re
maining bills for the last six months
of 1921, or whether Welsh will b3
forced to refund to the county for this
period. Judge Cross refuses, in this
regard to "cross bridges until he
comes to them," and the indications
are that We'sj, may institute suit to
collect at the rate of $58.33 for the re
mainder of the past year.
MILEAGE CHARGE DISPUTED
Und- the order, the remainder of
the $1050 provided in the budget for
1922 v.-Ml go to defray the expenses of
the office. A dispute has arisen over
the charges made for mileage. Until
a rf'ct'o-1 was ordered by the cou't
Dr. Wflh had been charging from 20
to 2" cents a niTe. Judge Cross stateg
th"t this difference over 10 cents has
added $2,000 to the expenses of the
office dnrirr thq last nine years. Dr.
Welsh staes that the charge was
mpda under a verbal agreement with
the court at the time he first took
office. ,
At the present time. Dr. Hemnstead

Veterans who do not need the
money that would come to them from
payment of government adjusted com
pensation would contribute their bon
us to a big rotating fund. Service of
ficers of the legion in each state
would lend it out.
"Our buddies broken in health who
want to take care of themselves and i
their families and keep their self re-!
spect while battling through red tape j
for their just disability compensa
tion," will be the principal benefi
ciaries of the fund, according to the
statement of the legion.
There are many instances in which
sick and wounded ex-service men, un
able to get government aid, have had
to depend upon charity while their
claims were being reviewed, tie le
gion reports show. Tubercular veter
ans who owe their condition to poison
gas or to exposure have gone to sani
tariums in the west, there been denied
immediate admission or treatment
and have become public charges, it is
declared. Other young veterans, un
able to work because of their wounds
or sickness and unable to satisfy the
demands of government bureaus for
their compensation are in a pitable
condition and their dependents like
wise are suffering, the legion declares.
Two freight cars on the P. R. L and
P. line were reduced to kindling wood
in a crash on the company electric
line at-Lakewood at four o'clock Sun
day morning.
The night crew left part of their
train standing near the Lakewood sta
tion while the locomotive was taken
to the L. B. Menefee Lumber com
pany's yard to shunt some cars. The
air leaked out of the brakes on the
standing cars which started down the
steep grade and crashed into some
cars on the sitting. The impact
wrecked the two freight cars which
met in the collision and de-railed sev
eral others.
None of the crew were injured.
For some time the traffic on the
road was delayed and passengers were
transferred around the point of acci
dent, walking for about a quarter-mile
between cars. Service was restored
about noon. At the time of the
smashup only one care was at Oregon
City and it was necessary to take two
Willamette Valley Southern coaches
up to convey, the passengers to this
end of the line.
The P. R. L. and P. has had consid
erable trouble with its trolley. Service
was interrupted several time both Sun
day and Monday.

sections. The Elwood and the High
land neon'e asked that thev be sen-i-ated
from the c'arkes district, and
the latter favored the retention of the
district in its present unified form.
A number of locnl grsviences were
urged. The matter was taken under
advisement by the court.
LiCENSE IS ISSUED
Fire broke out at 8:30 Thursday
night in the warehouse of the W.
O. Witham Furniture company, 514
Railroad Avenue, did approximately
$3,00q damage.
The cause is unknown.
The blaze started in the upper story
of the frame building, back of the
store. Furniture on the top floor was
destroyed. The building is practically
a total loss.
Two automobiles on the lower floor
were saved from damage.
There is no insurance on either the
stock or building.
Estimate of the damage was made
by Fire Chief William Prieb following
a hurried inspection after the fire.
HOUSES ARE SAVED
The structure is owned by the Jag-
gar estate, and projects into Railroad
avenue. It is entirely separate from
other buildings in that vicinity and
the fact that the wind was compara
tively light saved the other structures.
The store proper fronts on Main
street.
It is probable that the building will
not be rebuilt upon its present site,
as it obstructs Railroad avenue, which
the city is contemplating improving.
The building, which was an old frame
structure, had formed one of the
stumbling blocks in the way to an
agreement upon the opening of Rail
road avenue.
FIREMEN ARE QUICK
It took the fire department little
more than five minutes after the
alarm was in to get to the scene with
hoses in action. Due to the fact that
there is only one hydrant on the cor
ner of 6th street, the engine pumps
were used, giving a pressure of 120
(pounds through 700 feet of hose.
The building was very dry, and
burned like tinder, making compara
tively little smoke.
A crowd Of several hundred persons
gathered to watch the blaze.
The fire was under control, at 9:30
c'ock. At 10 o'clock the engine re
turned to its station.
That the movement started by the
Clackamas county Pomona grange to
recall the issue of $1,700,000 road
bonds will not be carried to conclu
sion, is the indication of recent devel
opments.
A referendum upon the action, tak
en among the different granges of the
county has been practically completed
and has shown that sentiment Is far
from overwhelmingly in favor of the
recall. Although definite figures are
not available it is believed that the
division is about equal.
MOVE IS OPPOSED
Officials of the grange have indi
cated that unless there is a prepond
erance of sentiment in favor of the
prosecution of the recall, no action
will be taken. Jhe move was to re
pudiate th6 u"nSofdorl5bh "oT"the t'oaTT
bonds, amounting now to about one
and a quarter million. An attemtpt
to place the recall measure upon the
ballot met witu immediate opposition
from civic clubs, and other organize
tions throughout the county and the
Pomona grange decided to determine
sentiment among the individual
granges of the county.
Considerable legal question Is In
volved in the fight, and attorneys dif
fer in opinion as to whether the re
call would be upheld even if passed
by a vote of the people. They base
contentions upon the fact that a por
tion of the issue has been sold, and
that it will be impossible to hold up
the remainder.
PETITIONS MAY DIE
The grange petitions calling for the
placing of the recall upon the ballot
were withdrawn from circulation at
the time that the matter was placed
before the granges, and it i. under
stood that they will not be resurrect
ed. Definite" word from the Pomona
grange to the effect that no further
action will be taken in the matter is
enxiously awaited by proponents of
the road building program which was
contemplated under the bonding act

Local Department Ranks High
Compared With Record of
Other Cities In State.
The largest gain in postal receipts
ever made in Oregon City was record
ed at the local postoffica for the year
of 1921. The gain is 19.7 per cent over
last year and places the office high
among the others of its class in the
state.
"The increase," said Postmaster
John Cooke, "is of greater proportion
than in the majority 'of the offices
throughout the country, whose reports
I have seen." The local gain is ex
ceptionally creditable in the face of
the fact that some offices in the coun
try show a slight decrease.
The total postal sales, upon which
these figures are based, amounted to
$32,513.82, according to the records of
Assistant Postmaster William Howell.
This is a gain of $5349.76 over 1920.
The entire increase in the business
of the office has been handled without
the addition of either more clerks or
carriers.
At the present rate of increase, In
another two or three years, Oregon
City will boast a first class postoffice.
At present the local office is in the
second class classification. An annual
business of $40,000 is required to give
an office a first class rating. The bus
iness-tor. the yax QLJ92X represents
the largest volume on record and the
postal sales have even gained over the
time when the three cent postage was
in effect.

Fines collected in the nine justice

1921 nearly trippled those for 1920, ac

During the past year, the total fines

to make the building the headquarters
for all patriotic organizations in the
city.
It is probable that the sale of bonds

Petitions for a special election to

The change in tha New York scale
does not, it is said, affact the prevail
ing wage of the International paper
mills which is generally regarded as
an index to local conditions. No offi
cial announcement regarding wages
has been made at the Hawley mill
owing to the absence of W. P. Hawley,
Sr. It was stated some time ago how
ever, that this plant did not contemp
late any reduction, and Mr. Hawley
denied rumors then current that a cut
I was slated for about the first of the
year.
CUT HERE RECALLED
December 1, wages in the mills
over the coast were cut, and the local
institutions followed the general scale
which reduced unskilled pay from 43
to 35 cents an hur and boosted the
day's work from 8 to 9 hours.
Under the agreement which af
fects the New York mills, no skilled
workers will suffer a reduction. They
will continue to receive 54 cents and
upward. The eastern agreement will
go into effect January 9 and will con
tinue until May 1. A readjustment at
that time is expected.
During the year of 1921 there were
503 automobile accidents in Clacka
mas county according to the records
in the sheriff's ofifce. This is an av
erage of more than forty a month.
During December, according to the
reports .there were 47 accidents. Dur
ing the year, there were 26 accidents
which resulted in injuries and during
December, three of these were record
ed. Although the law requires that the
accidents be reported, a large number
of the minor smashups, which result
in neither controversy nor serious
damage, never find their way into the
records and there is no way for the
officials to check up on them. Figures
on the accidents in 1920 are not available.

streets in Boltom ended Wednesday
night when the West Linn council at

assessments.
Buck and Barlow streets were re

after the legal formula was completed
and the work done,, property owners
protested against the assessment. The
council, as a committee of the whole
reviewed the assessments, as . thev

to be paid for under the Bancroft

The council also ordered that tele
phones be installed in the fire stations
