ADDED CUT IS SCOUTED
1 present rate is the lowest point
rrnntmi since the downward trend
first started in June 1920, and it is
not anticipated that there will be any
further reductions in the immediate
future. The decrease in wages has
bee pretty general over all classes
.of labor and a falling off of from 30
to 64 per cent is recorded in a com-
pariaoa f wages paid to various forms
of lfcor in Oregon compiled by C- H,
Oram, state labor commissioner.
Notwithstanding the general state
of delation for unskilled labor the go
ing rsiie in Oregon City is for paper
mi!Kj 55 csxits per hour: sawmill f 3.00
per day. Skilled labor in this dis
trict although not so seriously affect
ed ae ordinary labor, has nevertheless
suffers in the general cut.
PAY IS READJUSTED
Tka county rate for team and team
ster lias been returned to the old
figui of $5.00. This amount, though
not b lugh in the aggregate, is pro-
portioaately better than that which
has beea paid during the last few
years as it is exactly twice that paid
a mam for eight hours work. During
the wr, this figure was out of pro
portion ta some degree, as a team and
teaaf?ter received $7 while the com
mon laborer was getting $4.
The report which has been'publish
ed by the state commissioner covers
the peried from June 1920 to the end
of December 1921 and shows that
farm hands, who were receiving an
average of $73.62 a month,v with board,
in Jae, 1920, were receiving an aver
age but $37.16 a month and board
la &eeesiber, 1921, a decrease of al
most SO per cent.
ARPENTER'S PAY LOWER
Osrpnters, receiving $7.14 a day in
June, 1920, were receiving $5.19 a day
in December, 1921, a decrease of
slightly less than 30 per cent. Team
ster's wages dropped in the 10-month
period from $5 a day to $3.52; head
fallers from $7.12 to $4.69; second
fallers from $6.71 to $4.43; laborers
from $4 Jo to $3.53; camp cooks from
$137.68 a month and board to $96 a
month and board; dishwashers from
$77.25 a month and board to . a
month and board: milkers from $88.33
a month and board to $50.23 a month
and beard.
The compilation shows the greatest
percentage of decrease between June,
1920, and June, 1921. In the last six
months tie variation has not been so
great, except in the case of carpenters
whose wages have been dropped from
$6.18 a day to $5.19 a day. Wages of
common labor show a slight increase
in tit last six-month period, from
S3. 23 a day in June. 1921, to S3. 52 a
day fat December.
SKELETON IS UNEARTHED
BY WORKMEN ON FERRY
Bones, Thought to be Those of
Old Indian, Found Buried
On West Bank of River.
A human skeleton, buried probably
during a flood stage of the Willam
ette river many years ago, was un
earthed at 4:30 o'clock Saturday af
ternoon on the west side of the river
bank. A crew employed in grading
the approach for the new ferry which
is to operate from 17th street, discov
ered oractically a complete set of
human bones at a depth of about
seven feet in the soft river silt and
sand.
The skeleton, judged from the shape
of the skull, is thought to be that of
an Indian. The elongated skull, ac
cording to Wm. Dutcher, the foreman,
is evidently that of a native.
The bones were uncovered by a
scraper plow, which probably accounts
for the fact that the finger and toe
bones were not found. The body was
probably deposited there several hun
dred years ago, judged from the form
ation over it, but such estimates are
only guess.
A theory has also developed that it
might signify that the place was once
an Indian burial ground. According
to N. A. Boyd, a workman there, a
number of stones, evidently used as
mallets and other savage implements
have been found in that vicinity. The
nearness of the body to the river
causes this contention to be scouted,
and others hold the belief that it was
washed onto the bank at a high water
period.

Notwithstanding the cutting of the
appropriation for boys and girls club
work from the county budget, the ac
tivities of the local club leader will
be continued, according to definite
word received from the sate direct
or's office Monday. Federal funds
still available for the work in Clack
amas oounty will be used, and al
though they will not carry the club
activities for the entire year, they will
provide for a club leader during the
period of organization which will pro
bably extend until early summer.
Added to the federal funds will be
support of local people who are inter
ested in the continuance of the agri
culture club work. It is felt that by
providing for the organization of the
boys amd girls work this year, enough
impetus can be given to guarantee the
exhibits at the county fair late in the
fall. Tbe juvenile department at the
fair in 1921 was one of the biggest
drawing cards of the week's period,
Mrs. L. Purcell, who for the past
two years has had charge of the club

here on the 14th to raise a fund of
$2,000 to support its work during
1922. The report shows a total ex
penditure of $744 during the four
month period, a fund which accrued
from the sale of Christmas seals. It
says in part:
"Clackamas county has, by actual
count, 59 diagnosed cases of Tubercul
osis between the ages of 20 and 40;
the efficiency period of life. Its other
living cases total 119. During the last
four months the Public Health Nurse
has made 15 calls in tubercular
homes. According to the records of
the State Board of Health, there were
seven deaths in the county in 1920 and
19 deaths in 1921.
"Visits have been made to the

The county appropriation for the

LOCAL BONOS OFFICIALS
TO GO TO CONFERENCE
SUIT FOR FORECLOSURE
OF PARTNERSHIP FILED
Suit for a settlement over a 15 per
cent interest in the store of Joe
Swartz, was filed in the circuit court
Friday by Joseph M. Justin. Accord
ing to the complaint, Justin on March
30, purchased an interest in Swartz's
clothing store with the condition that
in event of the disollution of the part
nership, he was to receive a settle
ment of 15 per cent of the involved
value of the concern. The partner
ship, according to the complaint, was
terminated February 1, 1922, but set
lement refused.
An order, restraining disposal of
the property other than that neces
sary in the course of business, has
been issued by Judge Campbell.
Justin and Montgomery were re
cently refused a lease on the city hall
property where they intended to start
a haberdashery.
Clackamas county officials who are
connected with the administration of
the so-called bonus act, will meet at
Portland February 17, under orders
from the war veteran's aid commis
sion . The meeting is called for the
express purpose of instructing the
appraisers who are to pass on the
valuations of the property put up as
scurity for loans under the act.
Appraisals of property and actual
passing upon loan applications are
expected to begin within ten days al
ter the conference. This will mean,
according to Phil Hammond, local
bonus attorney, that ex-service men
in Clackamas county will begin to get
money on their loans by the end of
the present month.
The complete development of the
power plant of the Portland Railway
Light and Power company on the up
per Clackamas is n assured, accord
ing to the statement of Franklin T,
Griffith, president of the company.
The undertaking is being financed
through a new plan of the corpora
tion involving the sale of its securities
in small blocks in the district in
which the company operates.
The improve" projects under
way include the new Oak Grove power
plant which will cost $10,000,000 when
completed and add 80,000 more horse
power to present facilities. The work
will furnish employment to a large
number of men for an Indefinite per
iod and is expected to reduce the
acuteness of the present unemploy
ment situation.
"The greatest need of the public
utility industry at the present time,"
said Mr. Griffith, is new capital for
the 'constructfcjrbf additional gener
ating equipment, transmission lines,
sub-stations, transportation equip
ment, trackage, overhead construc
tion, etc., so that plant facilities may
be equal to the demands made upon
them.
"All the proceeds from the sale of
our 7 per cent prior preference stock
will be put to work right here in
needed improvements and extensions
as well as in the big new development
on the Upper Clackamas river where
we hope tp be able to furnish steady
employment to a large force of men
for an indefinite period. This large
undertaking should help materially to
reduce' the acnteness of the present
unemployment situation in case our
"Home Ownership" plan continues
with the same degree of success with
which it has progressed so far."

A contract for the year of 1922 has
been signed by the Clackamas coun
ty Farm Bureau with the Moline Plow
company for the purchase of farm im
plements and machinery. J. J. Si
mons, representing the company was
in Oregon City Monday concluding
the deal.
Under the contract, which has been
in operation for the past six months,
members of the farm bureau are sold
farm machinery for the wholesale
price plus five per cent as handling
charges. These rates are given only
to members Of the organization.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee which was held Saturday the
annual meeting date of the farm bur
eau was recommended changed from
the last Thursday in February to the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in January. This, as a change in the
constitution, will be voted on at the j
annual meeting February 23. The ex

the appointment of district , repre

SOME AID PLEDGED
The county court has already agreed
to give the city some aid in the im
provement for the reason that the
municipal limits extend east for a
considerable distance and the street
is practically a county road, tapping
one of the rich farming districts, and
at the same time being the only avail
able artery into this part of the coun

is to include the preparation of the
grade and the paving, will cost ap

LOGGING TO BE RESUMED
BY CROWN WILLAMETTE
SEASIDE, Feb. 13. The Crown
Willamette company s logging camp
near here is to be re-opened in the
near future, it was learned yesterday.
The opening of the camp after its
long period of idleness is expected to
improve business conditions greatly in
this locality. For some time repairs
have been made to the camp and road
beds. The company owns a large
tract of spruce timber south of Sea
side. Logs from the camp are used
mainly in the manufacture of paper
and pulp at the company's mills in
Camas, Washington and Oregon City.
FOREST FIRE LOSS CUT
SALEM, Feb. 10. Loss from forest
fires was minimized during the forest
fire season of 1921, according to the
annual report of F. E. Elliott, state
forester. The report shows that while
the number of fires exceeded by 30
per cent the number of the proceed
ing year, they were controlled with
little expense and a resultant loss to
merchantable timber equal to only
one-sixth that of the previous year. ,
SALEM, Feb. 13. Two of the seven
fatalities in Oregon during the week
ending February 9, due to industrial
accidents, were in Clackamas county,
according to the report issued by the
state industrial accident commission.
The victims were Frank L. Tref

Silas Adkins, barker, Mulino, and

Of the total of 325 accidents re

tion of the general road fund tax paid
by Oregon City.
The general road fund is divided in
to two portions. A total of 70 per
cent goes back to thex district in
which it is collected, but the remain
ing portion is in the hands of the
county. The local officials contend
that with such an important improve
ment to be made, the county can af
ford to expend a portion of the 30 per
cent upon a highway directly tribu
tary to the local markets.
18TH STREET TALKED
Another improvement which should
be considered this year, according to
Mr. Petzold, is 18th street. Its con
dition at present, he points out, is
dangerous, and it serves a large por
tion of the people living in the Green
Point vicinity as well as being a
means of ingress and egress to the
south end of town.
'Other streets in Green Point, the
improvement of which was contemp
lated in 1921 will probably go through
the mill. "A big part of the work we
will have to do the first part of this
year," says Mr. Petzold, "is the finish
ing up of the plans which were start
ed in 1921."
Estimates on the Railroad avenue
improvement have been placed in the
hands of the Southern Pacific com
pany and it is expected that in a
short time a decision as to the open
ing of this thoroughfare will be
reached.
