PETITION IS NOT
EE
C. Gallogly, of Gladstone, who cir
culated the petition jurging the ap
pointment of J. K. Pardee city treas
urer, denied Tuesday that the action
was intended as a vindication of the
claimant to the office, He declared
the object was to settle the contro
versy.
'We do not want Pardee for city
treasurer," said Mr. Gallogly. "But
we do want the tronhlf settioii nnri
the signers of the petition in order
iu ttuuumpnsn tnis enu, although they
are not favorable to Pardee, would be
wiiuug ior mm to serve his term.
Any statement that the signers in
tended to vindicate the claimant to
the office is untrue. The fact is thej
do not want him."
The controversy over the treasury
ship did not come before the Glad
Stone council at thn meetins' TiioHfln-ir
evening. Bids for the $20,000 water
uunus were received, the highest be
ing $20,475 made by an Eastern firm.
All the bids were above par. One of
the bids will be accepted at the meet
ing tomorrow night, and work on the
water plant will be started in a few
weeks.
An ordinance designed to- keep
stock off the streets was passed. Cows
must be kent. in at. niht hut will
allowed to graze during the day. Much
complaint Jias been, made against the
uuise maas Dy the Dells. An ordi
nance providing a license of 9K frr
public dances was passed.
Broad Nose and Sharp Nose Eels.
There Is the broad nose eel. and
then again there is the sharp nose eel.
The great difference between these
two varieties is that the broad nosed
eel Is the male and the sharp nosed
eel is the female, both being really of
one and the same family. When sum
mer comes young eels by the millions
shoot from mldocean to shore and
wriggle up our rivers. Out at sea
young eels are as clear as glass and
as thin as ribbon. They are about
four inches long, with a little head.
The young eel seems not to eat at
sea and only loses Its glassy look and
becomes colored as it gets to shore

FAMOUS BASEBALL
STARS PASS OUT
Many Veterans Missing From
Big Leagues This Season.
SENT BACK TO THE BOSHES.
L Numerous Old Timers Will Cavort
Around on Minor League Diamonds,
While a Number of Stars Have Quit
Active Playing. ,
Though the season of 1911 was a
banner year for the development and
discovery of young phenoms. it also
saw the passing of a remarkable num
ber of old stars. Many of these vet
erans who drew their last major league
salary check at the close of last sea
son were stars of the first magnitude
when some of the 1911 fledglings were
being introduced to knee trousers.
There is always a pathetic side when
a. new find Is discovered. Every time
a Marty O'Toole. a Grover Cleveland
Alexander or a Joe Jackson is discov
ered it means that some old fellow
whose legs are beginning to' stiffen
and whose batting eye is getting dim
will have to pack his grip and take
the inevitable trip on the "minor league
specials."
Among the former stars who have
voluntarily retired from active serv
ice or have been released since the be
ginning of the 1911 campaign are such
well known men as Fred Clarke, Fred
Tenney. Harry Davis. "Kitty" Brans
field. Topsy Hartsel, Kid Elberfeld,
Wid Conroy, Harry Steinfeldt, Charley
Hemphill, Jesse TahnehiH. Doc Gess
ler. George Schlei. Pat Flaherty,
Charley Schmidt. ' Danny Hoffman,
George McQuillen and Cy Falkenberg
Other players who have served in the
big leagues for shorter periods and
got passes to the bushes within the
last year are Lew Moren. .lack Row
an. Amby McConnell, Bugs Raymond.
Fred Beebe. Doily Gray, Jack Leli
velt. Fred Beck. Bill BurnsrYoung Cy
Young and King Brockett.
Concerning Frank Chance.
Father Time was particularly severe
on former star first Backers. Though
Frank Chance has announced be will
again play first base this season, most
critics seem inclined to believe that the
Beason of 1911 marked the end of
"Husk's" career as a playing man
ager. Frank may play this year, but it
is doubtful if he will ever be the Frank
Chance of old.
But even if Chance hangs on for an
other year, three former star first base
men. Harry Davis. Fred Tenney and
Kitty Bransfield, have completed their
big league careers Davis, the Cleve
land Naps" new pilot, has announced
that he will be a bench manager, al
though he may occasionally take a
whack at the ball in a pinch. However,
be says he is through as a first base
man. Tenney will . scout for Boston
this season, and Kitty Bransfield will
play with Louisville.
Fred Clarke baa said he Is through
as a player. So sure is the Kansan
that be will keep his word that he has
wagered twenty -one suits of clothes
that he will not even take up a bat in
the pinch. As twnty-one suits would
put a hole even-In the buccaneer chief
tain's ppcketbook. it may be taken for
granted that Clarke is sincere.
Griff, the Headsman,
Two former star outfielders will - be
managers in the minors this season.
They are Charley Hemphill and Topsy
Hartsel. The former New Yorker is
In charge of the Atlanta Southern
league club, while Connie Mack's one
time speed merchant is looking after
the destinies of the Toledo Mud Hens
Bf the American association. .
Clark Griffith chopped off beads right
and left after he took charge in the
Capital City. No less than five pastim
ers felt Griff's ax. the unlucky quin
tet being "Tabasco Kid" Elberfeld, hia
old time side kick. Wid Conroy; Doc
Gessler. formerly with Brooklyn, the
Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox;
"Dolly" Gray, the Golden State pitcher,
and Jack Lelivelt
One of the greatest third basemen
the game . has ever produced played
his last game in the fast set last sea
son namely. Harry Steinfeldt. the for
mer star third sacker of the Cubs.
Steiny played with the Bostons last
season, but illness soon compelled him
to desist.
Jesse Tannehill, the former star left
bander of the Pirates, Highlanders
and Boston Red Sox. finished his big
league career in Cincinnati. -
That Big Deal.
It seems strange that all four of the
pitchers involved in the big deal of
1910 between Griffith and Dooin
should have been sent back to the
bushes the same year. McQuillen,
Moren, Beebe and Rowan were the
tnen involved, and all of them bad
teen in the big leagues from three
to five years.
George Schlei, the former Giant and
Cincinnati mainstay, got his uncondi
tional release shortly after the 1911
season, opened. George was recently
signed by the Cubs, but he- has
been shipped to Louisville. "Dutch"
Schmidt the white hope of the pro
fession, who at one time was almost
the entire . Tiger catching staff, has
been sent to Navin's farm in Provl
dence. Schmidt was the Tigers' first
catcher In the world's series of 1907.
1908 and 1909, and his poor work prov
ed a big handicap to Jennings' war
flora.
OVER ELECTRIC RATE!
As -a result of economic methods and the acquirement of additional facilities, the
PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER COMPANY takes a great deal of pleasure
in announcing to the citizens of Oregon City and the surrounding territory an Import
ant reduction in its electric light and power rates.
IMPORTANT
It has been the constant policy of the Company to give good service at reason
able rates. v The Company is more interested than anybody else In building up a bigger,
busier and better Portland, and it fully recognizes the important influence pf low rates
and good service. The new-lighting rate is 9, 7 and 4c per kilowatt hour. Details of
this reduction and the conditions Involved can be secured upon application at any of
the Company's offices. Several months will be required to change over the 31,000 ac
counts which this reduction In lighting rates will affect.. In order thajt our patrons may
be put to the least possible Inconvenience, new contracts -will be mailed beginning May
' 1st. The Company earnestly requests that these be signed, witnessed and returned to
the Company's representative in Oregon City as promptly as possible, thus avoiding
the possibility of waiting In line at the office.

THE JOY OF LIVING.
' Dear life, sweet moment, gracious '
opportunity, brief journey so well
, worth the taking, gentle exile so
well worth enduring, thy bitterest
I sorrows are but blessings in disguise,
. thy sharpest pains are brought upon
: us by ourselves and even then are
turned to warnings for our "guid
ance, while above us, through us
and around us radiates the Supreme
Love, unalterably tender. Marie
Corelli.
dolii With movaBLE EYSft
The funniest dolls seen in a long
time are those that roll their eyes, like
a pickaninny in sight of a watermelon
patch. The eyes move not only up and
down like those of the familiar sleep
ing dolly, but there is also a side to
side motion that Is particularly funny
and by which the doll may be made
to take on all sorts of expressions.
There are also dogs and cats with these
movable eyes.
Such toys, amusing to old and young,
are not at ail expensive, and it would
be a very fractious child who would
not be won into good humor at the
end of a long, tiresome journey by the
production of one of these comical toys
from the traveling bag.

HISS HARDING HOSTESS
The Width of Skirts.
, The persistent rumora that the skirts
are to be wide and full appear to be
without foundation. On the, contrary,
skirts continue to be narrow and only
wider by a very few inches than those
of last season. They are, however,
draped and folded tunic-wise, which
takes away from the effect of extreme
tightness which was de rigueur last
year.
Tailor coats and skirts mercifully re
main simple in outline The coats show
a tendency to be cut away from the
front, falling to a rounded tail at the
back. This will no doubt have a mod
ified version, as it is becoming to very
few people, and they are, as usual, the
tall and slim. The skirts are slightly
trimmed with, the inevitable tunic ef
fect, but for ordinary morning wear
remain a fairly short length all round.
It seems at present most unlikely that
the tailor suits will ever reach the ag
gravating length of touching the
ground so that we shall again be forc
ed to lift them to clear the ground. It
Is, of course, a difficult matter to lift
these narrow skirts, which fact may in
some degree explain the continuance in
favor of the short skirt.

OREGON CITY ELKS
HAKE SELVES USEFUL
The Oregon City Elks who went to
Eugene Monday to attend the dedi
catory exercises of the home in that
city, returned Tuesday almost -fagged
out. They had little sleep, and all
who could do so, went to bed while
several of the others yavsrned at inter
vals during the day, and watched the
clock closely. The Oregon City dele
gation, being the only antlers present
who were not attired in dress suits,
according to several of them, were
put to work as waiters, while others
declare this wast not true. However,
it is a fact that several -of them, as
sisted in waiting on the tablea, but
it is asserted they did tnis in order
to help out the Eugene men.
Watch, the automobile contest. ',
Several of the most valuable In
dian relics that have been found near
tins city, were taken to the store of
George Young Monday. They were
found in Molalla and Oregon City.
Some of the finest wampum that has
ever been seen in this city Was found
in Molalla. It consisted of Hudson
bay beads and an obsedian spear. A
large bowl for the. mixing of medicine
by the Indians was recently found
by the 10-year-old son of M. Long near
the river bank in the vicinity of tha
sawmill V the northern part of the
