CAMPBELL HOLDS
NEW UNION
HIGH
VOTEJSJLLEGAL
Canby Consolidation Plan Is
. Invalidated by Decision
Of Circuit Judge; Action
Brought to Test District
ELECTION DATES ARE
DECLARED IRREGULAR
Move For Second Ballot Upon
Question; Is Expected to
Be Started Immediately.
The Canby Union High School Dis
trict, formed three weeks ago by an
election held in ten districts in that
vicinity, was held illegally constitut
ed in a decision handed down by Judge
J. U. Campbell in the circuit court
Wednesday. Deciding an action
brought less than two weeks ago to
test the vaidity of the election, Judge
Campbell's action anulls the entire
proceedure by which the joint district
was formed.
Irregularity in the setting of the
dates for the election was the basis for
the decision.
Stipulated facts showed that the pe
titioners had filed petitions with tne
district boundary board asking for the
holding of an election August 21. One
district. Union Hall, asked that the
election be called on August 9. The
boundary board set the date of Aug
ust' 21 for all of the elections in the
10 districts. Marks Praire neglected
to post the notices ror the election and
a supplementary order was issued call
ing the election August 26.
Judge Campbell held that the pe
titions must designate the day of elec
tion as the law requires that the date
be set on the petitions. Tne boundary
board, according to the law outlined
by the court, has only the power to
-rtify the clerks of the several dis
tricts to post notices for the elections
to be held on the dates named in the
petitions. This not having been done
in two cases, that of Union Hall and
Marks Prairie, the entire election was
invalidated.
Because of the fact that a majority
was needed in the number of districts
favoring the consolidation, the inval
idation of the election in one district
would have been sufficient to through
out the entire ballot, as it carried by
but one district.
Immediate plans for the holding of
another election are to be made, it is
understood, though the consolidated
high school will probably be prevent
ed from operation at last for the first
part of the present year.
Crown-Willamette
To Suspend Logging
At Camp At Seaside
Extensive logging operations car
ried on by the Crown-Willamette
Paper company on the Necanicum
river, a short distatnce south of Sea
side, will be suspended within a
month, according to an authentic re
port. The closing of this camp, employing
about 200 men, will result from the
exhaustion of a tract of timber which
the pajper company is logging under
contract with the Hammond Lumber
company. This work must be complet
ed by a certain time.
The logging camp and railroad will
not be abandoned, a3 the Crown-Willamette
has extensive timber hold
ings of its own in the district. It is
apparent, however, that tnls timber
will be held in reserve by the com
pany, as are its other large tracts on;
Youngs river near .Astoria and north,
of Coos bay. The paper company is
said to be able to purchase spruce and
hemlock logs in the open market at
present for but little more than it
can log its own, and so U constrained
to reserve Us immense, spruce ana
hemlock areas for future use.
Wasting Sunshine.
"The greatest waste is our failure to
utilize, not our carelessness In methods
of utilization," says Edwin E. Slosson,
noted scientist and writer- "We waste
two-thirds of our coal before its ener
gy gets into the engine. But we waste
ail of the sunsh'ne that falls upon our
arid region lands, and that means a
greater loss of energy than we tret
from all our oil and coal. The richest
region in the United States Is Death
valley, California. Even the green
leaves are not able to catch and in
corporate more than 1 per cent of the
power of the sunshine that tolls upon
them. If some, one would Invent a
solar engine with nn efficiency of even
5 per cent it would add Incalculably to
the wealth of the country through the
utilization of the wasted sunbeams
that fall upon our arid land."
Beautiful Girls Sold as Slaves.
The Abyssinian girls are remarkably
pretty, with large eyes and delicately
shaped features. These girls are
brought down from the Galla country
by the slave-dealers from Abyssinia.
The opposing tribes often at war are
only too happy to sell their female
prisoners to the Arab slave traders.
These people bring down the young
girls in gangs by various routes but
the principal outh-L is the Ked sea,
about Mussimvu. A great market is
at GallabrU, the frontier town of Abys
sinia. 1 here, says a correspondent,
I have seen, them crowded together
In mat tents, awaiting for purchasers,
from those 'commissioned to procure
slaves by the wealthy Arabs and Turk
ish otlk-iuls.
Woman Hit During
Electric Storm Dies
Mrs. Emma Jane Bonney, wife of B.
P. Bonney, prominent resident of
Clackamas county, died at the family
home at Mulino on Saturday after
noon, and the funeral services were
held on Minday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
with interment in the Adams ceme
tery, when mapy friends of the fam
ily attended the services.
' Mrs. Bonneys sudden death came
as a shock to her many friends and
relatives. It Is believed that Mrs.
Bonner's death was caused by anj
electric storm that occured when she
was attending a camp meeting on
August 19th. An electric bolt struck
a pillar near where Mrs. Bonney was
seated when she was rendered un
conscious. Mrs.. Bonney was the daughter of
David apd Susan Ball, early Oregon
pioneers. ,She was born in Indiana 73
years ago, and crossed the plains with
her parents in 1852. The familyset
tled at what is now Albiaa. Mr. Ball
.obin7 ii a homestead at that Dlace.
The family later settlecl m Canemah,
residing there for mapy years. Mrs.
Bonney was married three times. Her
first husband was a Mr. Williams, the
second, Mr. Lamb, and Mr. Bonne,
her third husband, who survives, re
sides at the family home at Mulino.
She also leaves the following child
ren: M. B. Williams, who is in the
forest service; George Williams, im
Molalla; Mrs. August Ericksen, of
Mulino, and her brothers and sisters
are George F., D. C R. D. Hall, of
Molalla; Mrs. Julia Pendleton, of
Molalla.. She also leaves friends
throughout the country.
STILL BELIEVE IN WITCHES
Alaskan Indians Cling to Old Super-
stition Despite All the Teach
ings of Missionaries.
The primitive trait to -shift .the
blame for one's misfortunes to some
one else, still endures among the
Thlinget Indians of Alaska in the form
of witchcraft, despite the efforts of the
missionaries and the presence of white
settlers. When sickness or trouble of
any kind falls on a community and
endures more than the ordinary lenjrth
of time, the word goes forth that the
village has been "witched" by some
enemy dwelling among them.
Twenty years ago each tribe had
its witch doctor whose duty it was
to detect witches, but since the gov
ernment authorities abolished these
medicine men, witches are detected
in other ways. They are still pun
ished as they were before the white
man came, with this difference: In
the old days death followed torture.
Now the - victim Is tortured and os
tracized, v The most efficacious pun
ishment, according to the Thlingets,
Is thrusting a stick through the looped
hair and twisting the scalp off the un
fortunate victim.
Evolution of Name "London."
The name "London" dates back to
the time when the ' inhabitant jof
Great Britain were wild and uncivil
ized and when the Thames was much
wider than it is at present. In fact,
this river was then a sort of lake or
lagoon up which the tide came from
the sea.
It was upon this body of water that
the Celts built a rude sort of fort, to
which they referred as "the fort on
the lagoon," or in Celtic "calr Lun
dun." Upon their Invasion of Eng
land, the Romans adopted the same
name with a slight alteration to en
able It to fit into the Latin, and the
town was then known as "Londin
lum. It was during the Roman oc
cupation that the place grew to be an
Important town, and even after
Romans departed, the Latin term
clung to the city until well on into the
Middle ages, when the gradual trend
away from the strict Latin form
caused the elimination of the last two
syllables and the changing of the first
"1" Into an'o" thus producing the
name "London," precisely as it Is to
day. Path of English Liberty.
Alfred the Great had his troubles In
establishing trial by jury. The judges
refused to submit cases to Judges, and
then Alfred would hang the judges. He

agemote." which was the real begin
ning of the English parliament. The
Normans cnme and turned things topsy-turvy
for a time, but in the reign
of King John the barons of England
tools the bit in their teeth and forced
the Magna Charta upon the king. The
Plantagenets, Tudors and Stuarts, all
full fed on the doctrine of the divine
right of kings, tried to administer jus
tice in their own several fashions, but
this only led to the revolution of 1688,
which established the bill of rights and
set the people of England free.

j strange bedfellows."
Only 20 cents -per person is spent
for soap each year, "Saturday night
is going to the dogs,"
STREET CARS AND S1CH
A street cars' just like a woman
I think that you'll find out
There'll be another along.
In the wee small hours of the morn
ing When midnight has long been past
There's not so many running around.
Oh, no but they go twice as fast.
If the world's a stage, railroad
crossings must be the exits.
Fresh restaurant pie may be any
where from one day to a week old.
It might be worse. Suppose jitneys
burned coal.
If the government coins a half cent
piece the church collection box will
be the first to suffer.
"You rent this house?"
"Yes, but it is almost like owning
it."
"How?"
"I haven't paid the rent for the past
ten months."
In this weather a man is justified
in wearing his whiskers long enough
to keep a kiss from skidding.
GOLOSHES OR VEILS?
Two young ladies stepped out of
the music hall and tripped down the
sidewalk their veils flapping in the
breeze. News Item.
