Hilton Mack Saves
Lives of Two Boys
CANBY, Or., July 12 Hilton Mack,
son of Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Mack, of
this city, played the part of a hero
while spending the week of the
Fourth with his parents in this city,
when he succeeded in saving the lives
of two boys, Phillip Anderson and
Gilbert Satter, both of Canby. The
boys had gone bathing near the Knight
bridge on the Fourth. One of the
boys was unable to swim, and as he
had gotten into deep water sank, and
while going down the second time his
companion swam to, his assistance;
but the former grabbed hold of his
companion and drew him beneath the
surface. Mack jumped into the stream
and swam towards the drowning boys,
who had gone down for the second
time". Grabbing both at the same
time and swimming towards shore
succeeded i . getting them to" dry
land. Anderson was almost strangled
when rescued and his companion was
also overcome by his experience.
The Molalla at this point, and
where the accident occurred, is about
twelve feet deep. About a year ago
a similar accident occured in the Mo
lalla near Good's bridge, several milea
beyond, when Hilton Mack's brother,
Ashel, saved the life of Floyd Neff,
who was nearly drowned when Mack
jumped into the river and dragged
him out.
Hilton and Ashel Mack are employ
ed at the Garabaldi sawmill, and both
are experienced swimmers. Hiltofc
Mack served in the navy during the
world war, and for two and one-half
years was stationed at Shanghai,
China. There is talk of securing- a
Carnegie medal for the Mack boys
for saving the lives of three of Can
by's well known boys.

Large Acreage of
Potatoes Is Opened
For Certification
More than 300 acres of potatoes in
Clackamas county will be examined
for seed certification this year accord
ing to County Agent W. A. Holt. Ap
plications for this amount of acreage
have already been forwarded to the
. Z,. L t .ZTl
the inspections and has charge of the
certification work.
The growing of potatoes and the im
provement of the crops this year has
been established by the county farm
bureau as one of the chief improve
ment programs to be fostered, and ev
ery effort is being made to movements
toward this end. Last week a tour of
the Damascus district was attended by
about 30 potato growers. A number
of demonstration plots were shown
where different diseases of potato
plants were treated along side of sim
ilar plants untreated. The purpose of
this type of work, which is to become
general over the county, is to aid the
growers to recognize and become fa
miliar with the methods for stamping
out the various diseases.
Three standard varieties have been
selected by the local potato men as
best adapted to the climatic conditions
in this county. These are the Bur
bank, American Wonder and Garnet
Chile. The three certifcation exam
inations which are to be conducted
come in the - blooming stage, mature
stage and after the harvest of the po
tato. .
Although it is regarded as doubtful
if the entire area which has been op
ened for certification will be approv
ed, a substantial showing is expected
this year. The record last year was
low because of the fact that very few
standard culture systems were car
ried through, Mr. Holt explains.

SOUTH END ROAD
DECISION ASKED
BY COMMISSION
Final Action by Council Upon
Highway Routing Problem
Set for Saturday Meeting;
Parley on Financing Plan.
ttitude of state
body is elucidated
No Change Contemplated, Is
Word from Engineer Nunn,
Bids Will Be Called Soon.
-Bids for the construction of the
South End highway in Oregon City
from the Fifth street crossing with
the Southern Pacific railroad to the
Canemah line will be advertised tor
by the commission at its meeting on
July 25, unless unforeseen develop
ments prevent the carrying out of the
expected program. This is the assur
ance received from Herbert Nunn.
state highway engineer, in a letter to
the city, requesting further action on
the routing within the city proper.
The entire matter will, be up for rr
consideration again at the city council
meeting Saturday night. A special
meeting to have been held last night
to consider the problem was postpon
ed until Saturday on account of the
lack of a quorum.
Commission Stands Pat
The routing through the city from
the bridge straight east to Railroad
avenue and ' down Railroad avenue
south to Fifth street has been select
ed by the commission, Mr. Nunn
points out, on account of the congest
ed condition of Main street, and .the
possibility of the development of more
traffic there, which would necessitate
the opening of Failroad avenue as an
outlet for the stream of travel. Al
though the matter has been reconsid
ered the commission is not prone to
make any change' in their plans, he
says.
A final expression on the matter
from the council is asked by the com
mission, relative to what means can
be taken to open up the Railroad ave
nue routing.
Financial Problem Looms
. The establishment of a route
through the city is in the power of
the commission but they are not al
lowed under the statutes to expend
any money w'thin the limit3 of a town
of more than 2,000 inhabitants and the
financial aspect of the problem has
assumed the attention of the city fa
thers. The $110,000 necessary for the
impl-ovemeht of the bluff route from
the S. P. railroad crossing to the city
limit line has been provided through
the aid of the public service corpora
tions and industrial plants in return
for certain property concessions i
franchise extensios in the city, but no'
arrangement "for the routing in the
city proper has been made.
The council some time ago en
dorsed the Fifth street route as the
proper line for the routing, in- view
of the limited expense of this im
provement, but this action was taken
before negotiations en the financing Of
the upper portion of the road were be
gun. THREE EUGENE MEN TO
FACE ARSON CHARGES
EUGENE, July 12. Charged with
arson, two Lane county men are under
arrest in Idaho and one in Eugene.
James Wilson was arrested Sunday,

June 7, in order to obtain insurance
claimed in excess of the value of the
building and its contents. Wilson and
Rudolph will be brought to Eugene to
face trial as soon as the district attor
ney's office can get extradition papers.
Reckless Drivers
Will Be Banned Bv
Secretary of State
SALEM, July 12. Secretary of
State Sam Kozer and 'State Traffic
Chief T. A. Raffety today put on rub
ber heels and iron gloves and an
nounced that the reckless driver in
Oregon must go. If he can't drive in
a sane manner he won't drive at all,
the officials declared.
Four automobile pilots "have lost
their licenses last week and more are
to follow if that course appears to be
the only one in arresting their activi
ties, it was said.
"The drunken driver is one of the
greatest menaces on the highway, and
we are prepared to take drastic action
to see that he goes," Mr. -Kozer de
clared. "We will co-operate to the
limit with officials of the state."
State traffic officers, he said, will
be given instructions to watch care
fully for motorists who risk their own
lives as well as those of other persons
on the road.

Counter Affidavits Refused
In Motion Hearing Before
Judge Robert G. Morrow.
A new trial in the Mount libel suit,
under which Dr. H. S. Mount, secured
a verdict for $20,000 damages against
seven local physicians, was refused
Wednesday by Judge Robert G. Mor
row. In an opinion covering the affi
davits and motion of the defendants
asking the rehearing of the case he
holds a review unnecessary and , de
clares their alleged new evidence In
admissible on grounds that they were
fully aware that it existed before the
trial was concluded.
The case, on the existing verdict of
the Clackamas County circuit jury,
will be carried to the supreme court
and the action for an appeal will be
started at once, according to Earle
Latourette, one of the attorneys for
the defendants.
The action, originally brought for
$50,000 on the basis of a libelous com
munication published to the county
court, is against Drs. O. A. Welsh, M.
C. Strickland, A. H. Huycke, C. H.
Meissner, Ross Eaton, C. A. Stuart and
George Stuart, and was tried before
Judge Morrow in the local court
In discussing the affidavits present
ed by the defense to prove prejudice,
on the part of the jury, Judge Morrow
holds that the charges made are In
significant as to their attitude and
that the claims of the defense do not
justify the setting aside of the verdict.
The so called new evidence, con
cerning he report of a specialist on
one of the controversial medical mat
ters brought up in the trial, was men
tioned considerably during the prog
ress of the case, the judge says in his
opinion, and the defense was fully ad
vised of the existence of the report
which they claim substantiates their
contentions on his point In the case.
On his account the judge refused to
consider their claim of new evidence,
although no testimony concerning the
nature of the report of the specialist
was introduced by the plaintiff in the
action.
In denying the motion for the new
trial, Judge Morrow also refused to al
low the plaintiff to file counter affi
davits to meet the contentions of , he
defense in he motion. Because of er
rors and omissions in the transcript
which was served on the plaintiffs at
torneys, an order has been entered
permitting the introduction of affidav
its in denial of two of the separate
paragraphs of the motion.
