"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

Church Christmas Monday.
The Christmas exercises and tree

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
