In the Middle Ages keys
to treasure cheats were
often made of bronze;
large, highly ornamented, and worth a consid
erable sum of money. But the chests which
they locked guaranteed their contents little pro
tection from fire or marauders.
The small, inconspicuous key to your safe
deposit box at The Bank of Oregon City in it
self is worth comparatively nothing, but it
locks j'our valuables in your own private safe
in a vault that is protected against all mis
chance. The use of a safe deposit box here,
with its attendant advantages, costs but $2.50 a
year and upward.

Divorces in Clackamas county ex
ceeded marriages during the year of
1921 by nearly 100, according to a re
port completed by Deputy County
Clerk Guy Pace. During the year there
were 290 marriages and 381 divorces.
The average, however, over the past
six years is not so heavy, or since
1916, there have been 1467 marriages
and only 1S77 divorces.
- This is accounted for largely by the
fact that the majority of the marriage
licenses are issued locally, as the law
requires that the female reside in the
county. Divorces, however, come from
over the entire state, as it is a gener
al practice of attorneys to bring di
vorce actions in the Clackamas coun
ty courts to avoid publicity in their
home towns.
The figures show that during 1916
there were 221 marriages and 216 di
vorces. In 1917 there were 219 mar
riages, 203 divorces. 1918, 211 mar
riages, 306 divorces. 1919, 255 mar
riages, 366 divorces, 1920, 2S1 mar
riages, 405 divorces.

The first step in the movement to
revise the charter of Oregon City and
provide a oommission form of govern
ment for the municipality was taken
Friday night, when the committee ap
pointed to draft the new provisions
met following the special session of
the city council.
An outline of the plan to be present
ed by the committee will be drawn up
withiA the next -week or so, and pre
sented to a mass meeting of citizens,
in order to determine whether or not
the new system meets with the gen
eral approval of the general public.
After this approval is secured, the
complete draft of the new charter will
be prepared by the committee. At
the mass meeting it is expected that
Prof. J. D. Barnett, head of the depart
ment of political science at the Uni
versity of Oregon, will be present to :
analyze the existing charter and to
suggest the procedure to be followed
in putting the new plan into operation.
OPINION VOICED
That the idea of employing a city
manager does not meet with the ap
proval of all the committee was
voiced at the meeting Friday, but
virtually all were agreed that the pre
sent system of handling such' an im
portant piece of business as the city
affairs, was not the proper one.
"Oregon City is a three million dol
lar corporation, and will expend dur
ing this year the sum of 80,000," said
City Attorney Eby, "and who could
successfully conduct a private busi
ness enterprise of this size without
someone at the head of it to be re
sponsible?" MEETINGS TO BE OPEN
Chris Schuebel said that it would
require only six months of such man
agement as the average city gets to
put any commercial enterprise of like
magnitude out of business. Linn Jones
spoke on the needs of revising the
present scheme, and suggested that
the committee's work would be great
ly expedited if the people of the city
would attend their meetings and
voice their opinion on the matter.
William Andresen was elected
chairman of the committee, and Mr.
Schuebel is serving as secretary. An
nouncement of the next meeting will
be made later, and in order to secure
a representative showing each coun
cilman is asked to submit the names
of six men from their ward who could
be asked to serve as an advisory com
mittee to the one appointed by Mayor
Shannon.
STRICT UNDER NEW LAW
Bounties paid for the killing of pre
datory animals, are now paid only in
person to the hunter or trapper under
the new state laws, according to ad
vices received by County Clerk Fred
Miller.
The new regulations require that
the person to whom the bounty is
paid must make a personal affidavit,
attested to by two witnesses. This
regulation is to stop the practice of
shipping furs into the state from oth
er territories, where there is no boun
ty, in order to collect the-Oregon fee.
It was formerly the practice to
grant a bounty even if the pelt were
brought in by someone elst. who
would testify, before one witness, as
to its killing.
