1 1 CLERK INDICTED
PORTLAND, Jan, 11. (Special.)
Two indictments against Temple W.
Alexander the O.-W. R. & N.f plerk,
charging forgery, were returned by
the grand jury at noon today into the
Circuit Court. Bench warrants were
issued for his arrest. One indictment
charges he received $'988, and the oth
er charges he obtained $604 upon forg
ed voucners.
No blame was attached to any other
members of the office in which young
Alexander was employed. The money
he received came through the Lum
bermens National bank and ,it is
charged, his defalcations extend over
the last two years. The witnesses
who signed the indictments are Ralph
Blaisdell, general auditor for the com
pany, F. M. Morgan, W. N. Abel and
G. W. Stearns. .
Alexander was employed as a clerk
in the purchasing department. His
chief duty was in handling timber and
ties purchased, by the road. In many
of these bills, he would raise the fig
ures, and collect all over the amount
awarded to the persons selling the
material. It is estimated that during
the two years of such work, the young
clerk forged vouchers amounting to
$15,000. v
Alexander was married two months
ago to Mrs. John S. Maginnis, who
was recently divorced.
Origin of the Cat.
In Arabian legends the cat Is traced
back as far as Noah and the ark. It
is one of the animals that came off the
ark, but did not go on. Puss' origin is
accounted for in this way:
During the time the ark was floating
about over the tall mountains mice and
rats became an intolerable nuisance to
the people on the great vessel, and
they complained to Xoah that every
thing was being literally devoured by
the pesky vermin. That august per
sonage forthwith called the male lion
to his side and began to stroke his
back, whereupon the great beast
sneezed. :ind. lo. a full sized cat was
blown from his nostrils!

Burns' Best roem.
It is said that a boy was once asked
in the poet's presence which of Burns
works he liked best. After taking
thought with himself for a little he
declared that he liked the "CotterV
Saturday Night" by far tbe best, "al
though." he added, "it made me greet
(cry i wjhen my father bade me read '
to my mither." This statement seem
ed to impress Burns, for presently he
said to th lad. "Weel. my calhinr
iboyi. it mftdp me greet, too. more thiir
once when I vrna writing it by my f;i
ther's fireside." ?

WILSONVILLE.
The weather has been so bad for the

ping here. Something unusual for our
little burg.
Mrs: Roy McKibbins, of British Co
lumbia, accompanied by her two child
ren are 'visiting her sister, Mrs. Wm.
Baker, at their farm near Wilsonville.
The village correspondent was mis
informed with regard to the basket
ball game between the Wilsonville
Athletic Association and the Columbus
Club, of Portland, at which time the
W. A. C. was defeated by the visiting
team. We reported W. A. C. as being
the victors which was an error but our
boys are not often defeated and have
been victorious in most of their games.
Mrs. Howard "was injured by a se
vere fall in Portland a short time ago
and has been quite ill in consequence.
Inside of 24 hours the river rose 14.9
feet at Wilsonville, reaching a stage
here of 28.3 feet above the low water
mark between 5 o'clock Sunday and
5 o'clock Monday morning. 'Chis rise
was so unusual that the weather man
was loathe to believe the report until
informed the second time. -
The oil well has Deen shut down for
some time on account of the weather
but operations will begin again soon,
so we are informed, and the indica
tions are still good for oil.
The W. A.- C, of Wilsonvilie, is
keeping up a steady practice and is
composed of the following members:
Elmer Seely, Andy Hasselbrink, for
wards; Doris Young, center; George
Stangel and George Murray, guards.
The boys will probably keep in good
form and be ready for the next game.
We are pleased to note that our
county superintendent, T. J. Gary, has
been elected president of the' Associa
Supervisors In Oregon. Our county
superintendent is surely a man of
whom the" - residents of Clackamas
county may feel justly proud.
Some of the farmers of this vicinity

ing also seems to be In great demand

hong is sick, of typhoid and pneu

STAFFORD.
Mercury went down to 16 degrees
above at Gage's government volun
teer "weather bureau station and four
inches of snow fell and nearly three
inches of rain since the write-up last
week. For three days every tree,
brush, .blade of grass, fence or tele
phone wire was covered with ice and
but few were the neighbors who could
stand on slippery places.
Many have had and are still afflicted
with a kind of an epidemic cold, but
when old Oregon returns to normal
style of rain and then a little more
rain, all will feel better.
We are sorry to hear that Albert
Turner is not much better.
Mr. Powell had a very sick horse
last week but the ice and wind de
moralized the telephones so we have
not heard this week how it is, hut
trust it is better.
The great question of road super
visors is presumably .settled by this
time to the satisfaction of some and
disappointment of others but if the
present ones want to hang on I sup
pose we .will have to have two for
each road district. Why not, as well
as two chiefs of police for Oregon
City? Personally, I would be for
Shaw, but why not let go gracefully
Mr. Shaw. When a mayor works for
nothing, boards himself and goes to
the river to drink why kick up a bob
bery about his ears at every move?
Nobody appeared to want the office,
possibly because they did not want to
be set up for Daws to peck at.

GRANDMA IN THE OLD ARM CHAIRr
Come here, my boy, and a story I'll tell.
Grandma will tell story, will make th bump well;
And up I climb upon her knee,
In the old arm chair she cuddles me.
Listen! Once there was O, you must keep quiet
A quaint little mill and a brook which ran nigh it.
A tiny maid came down to the brook,
Sat on the bank and cast in a hook;
Pretty soon, a jerk? out came a fish;
Listen! then came a boy with a nice little dish;
But my peepers were closed, I'd gone with the fish,
And lived o'er the scene, much as Grandma would wish.
While in Grandma's arms in the old arm chair;
So many, many things happen there. -
I see the maiden, I see the brook;
I see the fish caught on the hook;
And the quaint creaking of the old chair
Gives a feeling of safety one only gets there,
In the arms of Grandma in the old arm chair.
And when I awake and rub my eyes,
"Look around and wonder, wonder where;
Why it's only me and Grandma in the old arm chair.
Tenderly she puts me upon the floor
And watches me toddle to the open door.
Presently I come back, and up the stair,
The same old story over, in the old arm chair.
How often the times that when I fell,
She kissed the spot and made it well,
Just like the story books would tell.
I ran to Grandma with each tale of woe,
I'd toddle as fast as I could go;
And I'd have a good cry if I found her not there
My dear old Grandma in the old arm chair.
So, one day they told me to be very quiet;
Grandma's chair seemed so lonesome when'er I came nigh it.
O! Grandma, where are you? O, tell me where!
I cried, we're so lonesome, both me and the chair.
But she never came back she'd left me there,
So sad and lonely, everything seemed bare,
For they'd carried her out of the old arm chair.
In a grave on the hillside, 'neath a green willow tree
Sleeps the deare3t old Grandma, ever was, to me.
WTien at the side of her grave I off wonder where
I will ever see Grandma in the old arm chair.
I guess 'twill be in heaven, and I gues3 I'll go there;
Indeed I'd go now if they'd tell me where; I'm so lonesome for Grand
ma in the old arm chair.
REFRAIN. Dear Grandma where are you? O, tell me where!
Come back to me from that lost somewhere.
I am lonely tonight so lonely tonight
For my Grandma in the old arm chair.
EMMA JENNINGS.
Two investigations have well paid
me for the time I have taken, as now
I will know just what to do at the
right time.
