time should they be found.
"How long wiL! the jury be out?"
wa the question asked as the jurors
flisd out. A basis for a belief that
verdicts would not be reached when
court opens tomorrow was found in
the courts instructions, "carefully to
weigh all evidence in the case."
The defendants who await the out
come are Frank M. Ryan, president
of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron workers,
of which John J. McNamara, the con

DEWEY, 75, SAYS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. Admiral
George Dewey, hero of the battle of
Manlia Bay, today celebrated quietly
his 75th birthday. The veteran sea
fighter said he never felt better in his
life, and friends who called to con
gratulate him upon the anniversary
of his birthday declared that he look
ed "like ah ensign."
The Admiral attributed his splendid
physical condition to constant riding
and to the further fact that he keeps
away from midnight banquets. He
said that he abandoneu attending ban
quets long ago.
"So should any man." he declared.
"who wants to feel as .young as I do
when he is 75;"
Admiral Dewey passed a few hours
at his office as president of the gen
eral board of the navy. Later he
went for a drive with Mrs. Dewey and
there was an informal family dinner
at the Dewey residence tonight.

PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 26. Prop
ped up in bed, President-elect Wilson
sat for two hours today talking about
current reform with Representative
Glass, of Virginia, chairman of the
sub-committee on banking and cur
rency reform, and Dr. H. P. Willis,
a New York financial writer.
"The conference concerned gener
alties," Mr. Glass said afterward.
"The Governor has some positive
ideas about currency reform and ex
pressed them more-decisively and
clearly than anyone else I have ever
met."
Mr. Glass said he was not at liber
ty to disclose what was done in the
conference.
"That's what he talked about," he
said as he exhibited with a smi'e a
handful of $5 pieces. He remarked
however, than none of the bills sup
posed to be before his committee in
Congress was authentic and the com
mittee had nbt yet. drafted any meas
ure. He added that public hearings
would be heard in January.
The Governor had almost recovered
tonight from his attack of grippe, but
in compliance with the physician's
orders, he remained in bed and saw
no one but Glass and Willis.

These people believe in progress.
They believe in a more progressive

that a high class magazine number,

as this annual will have, is worthy
of liberal support as a medium of
community publicity apart from its
acknowledged value as a local adver

IS GROWING APACE
V--'
The fight for good roads seems to
be bearing fruit in the eastern as well
as the western end of. the country,
but much remains to be done before
tax payers as a whole can be brought
to see that the best investment they
can make is to vote proper amounts
of money for the improvement of the
roads. The following supervisors re
port the approved taxation of their
road districts as follows : No. 9, A.
N." iensen 10 mills; No. 49, G. T.
Hunt 10 mills; No. 10, Charles Dun
can 5 rrUls; No. 35, J. A. Reid 6
mills.
George, " of which district A. N.
Jensen is supervisor, voted a ten .mill
tax, and made plans for the blowing
out of stumps on the Estacada road,
ready for grading in the spring.
Springwater voted a tax of 6 mills
and elected J. A. Reid supervisor.
From one end of the county to the
other the go-ahead citizen of the differ
ern communities are fighting the bat
t'e of good roads. Here and there
is met some property holder who is
already receiving the benefit of a
good road, and is too foolish to ben
efit his neighbor, or else is too apath
etic to care, but the tide has set in
strongly for improved roads.

BROTHERHOOD OF SAINT AN
DREW DOES BEST WORK IN
ITS HISTORY
SIXTY-FIVE CHILDREN MADE HAPPY
Elk's " Lodge Assists in Supplying
Articles for Many Families Oth
ers in Need Will be Given
Assistance
The campaign of the Brotherhood
of Saint Andrew, of Saint Paul's Epis
copal? Church, again this year for a
Christmas for the poor children had
a hearty support. Through his means
sixty-five children, who otherwise
would bave been forgotten in and
near Oregon City wero snnnlinri with
toys, candy, nuts and in a good many
cases clothing, shoes and Christmas
dinners.
Of the sixty-five children, three at
tended the Sunday school of the Epis
copal Chutrch, the church t0 which
the Brotherhood in charge of the
work belongs. And of the eight fam
ilies who received a supply of things
to eat only one was in any way con
nected with the church. The money
too which furnished the supplies 60
all kinds, and the goods furnished
came in a large part from the people
who are not connected with any paij
ticular church, showing that the spirD
it of Christmas giving was trulyA
abroad in the town. $
The E'.k's lodge assisted the BrothJ
erhood to a large degree by suppljJ
ing three needy families, not onlj
will a uuiiokuiai uiuuci uut aiovs w I lu
a quantity of supplies sufficient to
last for some time to come. Individ
ual gifts to the fund, in money, varied
from one cent to $10, and in addition
to this the merchants were exceeding
generous with discounts, the trans
fer companies delivered goods gladly
without charge, boys gave up a good
part of their Christmas day deliver
ing packages without any. thought of
charge of the purchasing gladly laid
aside their own Christmas prepara
tions Tuesday afternoon and evening
to see that the children had the gdods
to make them happy.
The Brotherhood possibly missed
some who should have been supplied
and if this is the case, the funds are
not exhausted and there are more
funds and people ready to help if
the ca3es are reported. F. T. Barlow,
who started the movement last year, -and
who . fanned the flame into life
again this year, will gladly see that
all are taken care of.
SOUTH AMERICA IS
PRAISED BY WISNER
J. Nelson Wisner, director of the
Bureau of Fisheries of the Republic
of Uruguay, South America, and Mrs.
Wisner are the guests of Mrs. Wis
ner's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Pratt, of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Wis
ner have just returned from London
where Mr. Wisner gave an order for
a ship to be used in connection with
the fisheries in Uruguay.
"There are fine opportunities (for
Americans in Uruguay ', said Mr. Wis
ner. "The country is comparatively
new and the American spirit is what
is wanted there. I like the climate
and intend to make that country my
future home. A business man who
cannot speak the Spanish language is
hampered, but it is not a hard task;;
to become proficient in that I have
been so busy since I went to Uruguay
that I have not had time to master
the language, but it will not take long
to do that when I return. I like the
country, the people are pleasant and
I am given the widest latitude in my
work. The fisheries industry is being
given careful attention and there is
no question that the streams of Uru
guay will eventually be supplied with
the finest kinds of fish.
Mr. Wisner formerly was In charge
of the fisheries in this part of Oregon
and is regarded of the most efficient
man in that line of work who has ev
er been employed by the state. The
ship he is having built in London will
be one of the finest ever used in the
fisheries industry.
