More than 200 teachers attended the sessions of the Clackamas County Institute which waa convened In the high school Monday.

He explained in detail the method of certification for teachers and declared it had been radically changed by the Legislature of 191011. "All certlflcatea," he said, "Issued In June, 1911. and thereafter aro state certlflcatea; that is, they are Issued by tho State Board of Elec tlon and are In force throughout tne atate. Certificates are of different kinds, as follows: One year, state, five years state, state life diploma, high school certificate special certl flcatea and temporary county certifi cates. The new method placea teach ers at a greater advantage than form erly for the present certificates are valid In many other states. Grades of over ninety secured at any 'teach era" examination may be carried for three years In progressive certifica tion provided the ho.lder Is engaged In teaching " Thero was much disappointment over the failure of Miss Montana Hastings, department of education.

ANDRESEf URGED FOR MAYORALTY PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL SAYS HE IS NOT READY TO ' MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT. PETITION IS BEING CIRCULATED Commission Form Of Government Or Reduction Of Mamberahip Of Counoil Favored By Him. A petition to William Andresen. president of the City Council, th-t he become a candidate for Mayor was circulated Monday, and many signa tures were obtained. Mr. Andfesen, when told that the petition was being circulated for signatures, declared that . be had nothing to say on thtt subject Friends, however, said that he probably would make a definite announcement In a few days. Mr. Andresen baa a large follow ing, and it ia generally conceded that he would make an excellent mayor. He bas aerved six years as a mem ber of the council, and announced last week that ha would out -be a caudi-4 Jat for reelection. Mr. Andrecen also declared In f avor of a commission form of government for the city, and aald If thla could not be obtained he favored a reduction of the member ship of the City Council. He thinks that Ave councllmen couW attend to the affairs of tha city . better than nine. , t ' ' "The only objection' I can see to n commission form of government," de clared Mr. Andresen, "Is the possi bility of unreliable men being -elecieil. With reliable men In charge there is no question that It would be far au Tlbr to the present form of govern ment, although tbe present council has accomplished fine results." Mr. Andresen haa many friend. and. If be ecldes to enter the rac3 for Mayor be will be a hard man to beat His record aa a councilman Is one of the best of any man who ever held the office. He thoroughly un derstands city affairs. Is conscientious and faithful, and has always looked out for tbe city's Interests. NEW RECORD IS MADE FOR TAX COLLECTIONS Persons who failed to pay the last half of their taxes within the required time, which expired Monday, will be required to pay a penalty of 17 per cent The total collected Monday was probably the largest amount received by the Sheriff for the final payments In the history of the office. Chief Deputy Staata said late In the after noon that be and his assistants had not been able to figure the total amount Persons who pay their taxes before March 15 get a rebate of 3 per cent, and those who pay half prior to the first Monday In April and the oth er half before or on the first Monday in October escape paying penalties. The Sheriff will soon begin selling the property of delinquents. SENT TO JAIL FOR Robert Clvln, who lives at Fifth and Main streets, waa sentenced to serve twenty five days In Jail bV Re corder Stlpp Monday for giving whisky to a man on Sunday. Harry Brown was arrested Saturday night by Policeman Frost on a charge of Intoxication, and was released Sunday by Chief of Police Shaw upon his de positing a cash bail of $7.50. That night he was found In an Intoxicated condition again, and said whisky had been given him by Calvin. Recorder Stlpp fined Brown the 17.50 which he had given as ball and Calvin was ar rested. Brown left the city. SON OF MILL OWNER Frances Krumel and Joseph Sevclk. Jr., were married Saturday night at New Era by Justice of the Peace Sam son.

The anl mal disappeared last Wednesday morning, and, although Mr. Troop haa made every effort to find It he has been unsuccessful. lie does not think the pony wss stolen. The little girl had ridden "Dick" frequently and as sisted her father In caring for the anl mat. The pony Is a chestnut sorrel, weighs 850 pounds. Is blind In one eye and Its left bind foot Is white. OfflERS DECLARE EOR COMMISSION STIP". THINK8' CHARTER SHOULD BE AMENDED AND SPECIAL ELECTION CALLED. HUNTLEY FAVORS PROPOSED PLAN ' j , ; , Tit. : J ,. ,- . , Best Mart Will Not Offer For Council t,He.', Declares Jack $ays .That i Red Tape, At Least, Would v Be Eliminated. . . . : SwflUtnent fvr a commission form of government 'Ib this city continues to grow, and Wy one or two promin ent men, ytoo, have .been Interviewed by Morning Enterprise reporter op pose tbe chsnge. Recorder Stlpp, County Assessor-Jack and W. A. Hunt ley, of Huntley Bros.' Company, were among those who declared for the commlasion form of government Mon day. "I am In favor of giving the pro posed plan a trial," said Recorder Stlpp. "There ls no question In my mind that three good men can man age the affairs of the city better than nine good men. .'Eternal vigilence Is tbe price of liberty,' and so the men In charge must give their best efforts to the city's welfare. The counctl Dicr;, who are working now without pay, are business men and naturally they cannot give aa much of their time to. the management of tbe af fairs of the city as men would em ployed solely for that purpose. The present council has done remarkably well under1 the circumstances, but I believe under the commission form, even better results might be accorap Untied. "I thipk city officers should be elected as usual this year, and later -a charter should be prepared provid ing for the desired changes to be voted upon at a special election. Then at the next regular election men could be chosen for the offices creat ed by the charter '- . Judge Stlpp aald there waa no ab solute necessity -for "change 'prov1d:" ed satisfactory, men: could be elected to the council. If the best men could not be Induced to offer for the coun cil, lie declared a' change must be made. "I have been in favor of .Oregon City adopting the Commission form of government ever since It proved a success in Gslveston," declared Mr. Huntley. "The time has srrived when It Is impossible to get tbe best men to offer for the council. There Is too much work for no pay. With com missioners in charge It would be an easy matter to fix the responsibility. There Is no more reason why busy men should serve gratia in the coun cil than there would be for street sweepers and policemen to do so. In all the cltiea where the commission form of government has been tried, so far aa I know. It bas been a suc cess, and I believe It would be here." "I must admit that I am not as well posted on the subject as I might be," said Mr. Jack, "but I am con vinced that the proposed change would be avantageous to the city. If it ac complished nothing more it would simplify matters and do away with a great deal of the red tape that now exists. The voters would know who were responsible for the mistakes, and could hold them accountable. Un der the present system this cannot b Jone. I think tbe members of tbe commission should be paid sufficient ly so they could give all their time to the work of the city." Our greatest clubbing offer.

FARMER CH0.(ED TO DEATH FOR MOKEY JURY FINDS THAT JOHN THOMAS, AGED RANCHER, IS VICTIM OF 8TR ANGULATION. GENERAL ALARM OUT FOR SUSPECT Charles Swain, Employed On Farm, Missing Day Aftsr Tragedy Body Is Brought To Thl City. Coroner Wilson held an inquest Monday over tbe body of John Tbomas, the wealthy rancher found dead In his home, with his hands and feet tied, near Sycamore Station on the Estacada carllne. the Jury return ing a verdict of homicide. Dr. Carll, who made an examination, said that the aged recluse had been strangled to death. He had also been struck on the mouth with a blunt instrument The body waa brought to tbe Holman undertaking establishment in this city. . .., Sheriff Mass has sent descriptions of Charles Swain, the man employed by Thomas, who Is mysteriously miaa ing, to all cltiea in this and adjoining statea. The rancher- waa killed Satur day night and Swain was seen leaving the house Sunday - morning. While the coroner was holding the Inquest a well dressed woman, who MriH.ah lived in Portland, arrived at the Thom as home. She hadn't heard of the trag edy. and had a basket of delicacies for tbe rancher. The woman said be had no relatives In this country and he was his best friend. Coroner Wilson learned that Mr ' Thomas waa born in Herefordshire, Eng.. November 9, 1839, and came o the United Statea in 1877. He settled first at Ridgeaeld. Wash., and then Went tO Portland whnr ha onnrinot a hotel two years. He and Hannah Baxter were married in 1875, three cnnuren neing norn to them. All the children are dead. . Several years af ter tbe death of his first wife Mr. Thomas and Anna Poulson were mar ried. She died two or three yean ago. . It is the belief of Sheriff Mass that the slayer robbed hla victim nr aas and a, gold watch. The. ranch upon which 'Mr. Thomas lived Is valued at "12M0. ' - rir-: ' The body was found by William N. Chilcote. who with his brother Earl and William Peterson, were passing . the Thomas farm Sunday afternoon. when he decided to run in and see if Thomas had any oats for sale. He went to the back door 'and on recelv- -ing no answer opened the door lead- ; ing into the dining room where he found the body. Chilcote immediately called the other two members of his party and they called Grant Sager, a farmer Ht ing about 100 yards west of the Thom as place. Sager at once notified Cor oner Wilson and Sheriff Mass. The last time Thomas waa seen alive was Saturday evening about dusk, when J. E. Donnelson. of Gresa am, stopped at the Thomas place to pay house rent At this time Thomas was with Swain. Donnelson offered Thomas $20. which waa la excess of the rent due. Thomas opened bis purse and exposed three twenty and one five dollar piecea, but not suffl -clent silver to make the. required change. Donnelson left saying he would pay him tbe next chance he had. Sheriff Mass learned from an em ployment bureau S that Swain had worked for Thomas Just one week on tbe day the crime waa committed. Swain is tall, haa a short, sandy mus tache and sallow complexion, and is addicted to the use of cigarettea. Many cigarette stubs were found ly ing about his room, and on a chair beside his bed was a dime novel, open ed to a page giving an account of a ' robbery and murder.
