Some such a project was outlined by the State Board of Health many months ago and it was placed in the hands of Mr. Kelsey to work out the details. The report has been finished and 1000 copies of it will be printed.

"ADOPT ME," LITTLE GIRL WRITES WILSON TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 21. A little girl in Maryland wants to be the daughter of President-elect Wilson. A letter which tne president-elect re ceived from the girl reads as follows: "I thought I would write to you and ask if you would want to adopt me. I am a poor little orphan, and I have to work for my living. I heard you was so nice and kind, and- all your children being grown up, I thought you might want me. "I am 13 years old, and I would love very much to be your daughter. I hope would not insult you by writ ing this. Pdease answer. Excuse writ ing. Prom your little friend." Completion of Line Will Bring Big Shipments of Freight Into City Wood Camps to be Opened A locomotive has arrived for the use of the track laying crew of the Clackamas Southern Railway, and rails are being laid on the hills toward Beaver Creek. The road should be completed from this city to Beaver Creek in less than ninety days if the weather remains favorable, and the prospects at present are bright for track laying during the winter. Butts & McCauley of Portland vis ited Oregon City Friday, for the pur pose of placing a large crew of men in the timber along he line between this city and Beaver Creek, and open up several large wood camps. Wood camps mean . a great deal to the tradesmen of a city, and in fact the entire community is greatly ben efitted when the product is sold in an outside market, and the proceeds go to the people. After this road is in operation and large loads of freight are hauled each day into Oregon City and Portland markets, and the heavy traffic is tak en off the county roads, the people will all wonder why this road was not built years ago. Leap Year Dance Planned. A leap year dance will be given December 28 in the Highland Grange Hall at Clarkes. The affair is in charge of Misses Zelma Lumminsand Ruby Schram. City Council Decides that Corporation Shall Pay $1,000 Yearly for Railway Franchise Church Christmas Monday. The Christmas exercises and tree of the Willamette Kethodist Sunday School will be held Monday evening. 4 Couples Get Licenses. Licenses to marry were issued Sat urday to Viola E. Franklin and John W. Lopney; Faye Boothby and J. G. Wilkerson; Marie B. Loser and George W. Duby; Clara Hurchinson and R. Soper. The City Council, at a meeting Sat urday night revoked the license of J. Udderman to conduct a saloon in this city. Udderman has been the proprie tor of the Mont Hood Saloon. On the night of December 5 Policeman Frost arrested the proprietor of the place on a charge that he had sold liquor to an habitual drunkard, who was blacklisted. The proprietor was fined $10 in the recorder's court next day. Udderman pleaded in court that he was a stranger in the city, that he had purchased the saloon of Matt Jus tin, and that he was not personally acquainted with the habitual drunk ards. Mr. Tooze insisted that the license should be revoked, Messrs. Albright and Holman being the only members present to vote against the proposi tion. Mr. Pope had gone home be fore the question came to a vote. Po liceman Frost, when called upon to testify, said that sa far as he knew saloon had been conducted und" the new management better than it had under the old. The action of the council means one less saloon in the city. Each saloon pays $1,000 license annually. The ordinance providing for the franchise of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company in this city was passed. The ordanance provides for a lease of five years, the company to pay $1,000 annually for the privi lege. The company must provide a freight yard between Fourth and Fourteenth Streets. The ordinance was adopted by a unanimous vote, Messrs. Tooze, Horton, Beard, Myer, Pope, Roake, Albright and Holman be ing present. An ordinance instructing the finance committee to arrange for $50,000 bonds as specified in the recent meas ure approved by the people at the election was approved by a unanimous (Continued on page 2.) 5 All articles we sell engraved free of charge jSS JEWELRY the Gift of Gifts All Articles we sell engraved free of charge A Few Last Reminders For the Ladies WATCHES LOCKETS RINGS AGATE PINS BAR PINS CUFF BUTTONS DIAMONDS BROOCHES LA VALLIERES SILVER MESH BAGS TOILET SETS JEWELRY CASES CORAL, PEARL and GOLD BEADS EARRINGS HANDY PINS BRACELETS DESK SETS WATCH PINS THIMBLES WATERMAN FOUNTAIN PENS KODAKS WATCH FOBS VANITY BOXES CARD CASES OPERA GLASSES STERLING SILVER PICTURE FRAMES CLOCKS CUT GLASS STERLING, 1847 ROGERS AND COM MUNITY SILVERWARE HAVILAND AND HAND-PAINTED CHINA WARE UMBRELLAS LIBBEY AND STAR CUT GLASS SILVER DEPOSIT WARE JEWELRY THE GIFT OF ALL GIFTS.
