Completion of Loop
George Strlckler, alias George Mar
tin, by his own confession a thief, "as
was his father before him," is under
arrest in Portland and the mystery
surrounding two robberies and an at
tempted safe cracking in Oregon City
is solved.
Strlckler, arrested by Officers Ma
loney and Collins in Portland confess
ed to the robbery of the Price Depart
ment store about four months ago
and to the robbery of Eddy's depart
ment store on the night of July 1. He
also confessed to attempting to rob
the Wheeler pool hall safe on the
night of July 12.
Merchandsie Is Found
Strickler was found iin possession
of a quantity of merchandise from
Eddy's store. A Chinese noodle joint
on upper Washington street was
searched yesterday morniing by the
Portland officers and Sheriff W. J.
Wilson of Oregon City. None of ; the
apparel from the Price store was discovered.
Strickler also confessed to three
robberies in Camas, Wash. Because
of the strength of these cases he will
probably be tried there. He is also
facing a parole violation from the
Washington state penitentiary.
Confesses to 3 Robberies
Strieker told Sheriff Wilson that he
entered the Eddy store and remained
until daylight. He entered the front
door and left the back way. Merchan
dise, mostly women's clothes, was
taken.
The Price department store was en
tered through the skylight and the
thief selected considerable men's
clothes, shoes, and a suit. None of
the merchandise was discovered in the
raid yesterday. .
Safe Robbery Attempted
The man told Wilson that he had
entered the Wheeler pool hall making
preparations for a speedy getaway,
and that when he saw a light flashed
in the window, he dived through the
trap door, came up under the base
ment, ran out tho back way .circled
down Water street and made his get
away up the railroad track. .
Strieker was a resident here for
some tim . He had been employed in
both the Hawley and Crown-Wiillam-ette
mills and was a resident of the
Beck. boarding house, he toldT.he officers.
"I've Feathered My Nest,"
Said the Carpenter:
as he finished hanging the door and tucked his
pencil behind his ear.
64JJOWS THAT?" 'Well," he said, "in fifteen years I've
saved $8,000.00 out of a carpenter's earnings. And
we've lived comfortably, too." "Did you actually save
$8,000.00 or did you make some lucky investments?" "No,
sir," he said, "my wife and I saved every cent of it, and
brought up an adopted child besides. We had some good
times and now we don't have to worry. "Yes," he con
cluded, "It's all a matter of putting money into your sav
ings account every time you're paid."
Here's a man who proves what can be done by saving
money regularly. It was probably pretty hard for him,
sometimes, to make his deposits but lie doesn't even
think of that now. The satisfaction of comparative inde
pendence overshadows the effort of attaining it. It's a real
satisfaction, top. Try and see for yourself.

HAPPY THOUGHT
Keep on keeping on! Remember
"It's the coward who quits to mis
fortune, 'Tis the knave who changes each
day, i
"Tis the fool who wins half the battle.
Then throws all his chances away.
There is little in life but labor,
And the morning may find that a
dream;
Success is the bride of endeavor,
And luck but a meteor's gleam.
The time to succeed is when others.
Discouraged, show traces of tire;
Tbe battle is fought in the home
stretch, And won twixt the flag and the
wire.", . . .
