SCORES OF PERSONS
COMING TO COUNTY
Since the first of the year the Pub
licity Department of the Oregon City
Commercial Club has received from
fifteen to forty letters from prospec
tive settlers, as the result of a pub
licity crusade waged in the east by
O. E. Freytag, Publicity Manager.
These letters came from all parts of
the east and it is gratifying that prac
tically all of the inquiries are from
persons possessing a certain amount
of capital and who wish to come to
the west either to give their children
better advantages, or to find a more
moderate climate for themselves. The
following letter is a fair sample of
the many letters that are being re
ceived ;
Urick, Mo., Jan. 8, 1913.

view of locating there.

HE GETS 2 VERDICTS
N. J. Sundergard, injured in a head
on collision in Portland November 11,
1910, was given a verdict of $3,700
against the Oregon Electric Company
in a Multnomah County Court Tues
day. He was represented by Grant
B. Dimick. The plaintiff recently was
awarded a verdict of $3,500 in this
city. Sundergard, while working at
Wilsonville, was knocked from a
trestle and seriously injured. He was
taken to Portland on a special car.
The car collided with another soon
after reaching Portland and Sunder
gard sustained other injuries.
GET GOOD PLACES
(Continued from page 1)
changes in the rules, which he thought,
should be approved, as tending to in
crease the efficiency of every legisla
ture. .
These recommendations, which
were included in a minority report
which he presented, included a pro
posal to reduce the number of house
committees from, 41 to 25; a provis
ion for scheduling all committee meet
ings and leaving them open to all
members of both houses and Jhe
press; and to require that every bill
be reported back to the house by the
committee to which it was referred
within seven days.
In the majority report presented
by Laughlin, Abbott, Mann and Forbes
these two latter provisions were in
cluded in a modified form.
The majority report gave 12 days
instead of seven for committees to
report on bills.
Despite strenuous effort on the
part of Eaton and Parsons, his col
league from Lane to go into committee
of the whole to propose amendments
to the majority report after the mi
nority report had been defeated by
a rousing chorus of "nays", a vote
was forced on the majority repart be
fore lunch in its . entirety. It was
adopted as a whole.
This morning's debate was the first
stir in the calm that has prevailed
in the house since it convened yes
terday morning. Though the debate
on the rules grew hot at times, the
best of feeling prevailed.
Beginning his address to the house,
Eaton declared that the rules com
mittee had delayed signing up its
majority report until five minutes be
fore the opening of the session to
compel him to prepare his minority
report in a hurry.
"I had expected opposition to the
proposed committee on committees",
he said, "but I expected none to these
other reforms. In order not to em
barrass any one at this session, which
has begun so auspiciously, I have
dropped my proposed committee on
committees, and am basing my fight
on other reforms to which I think
there can be no reasonable objection."
Sleeper Sharks.
The great sleeper shark is a most
stupid, gluttonous species as. In fact,
are most of the sharks and spends
most of its time dozing on the surface
of the sea. When aroused or hungry
It attacks whales, porpoises, or. In fact,
anything it can find, and bites pieces
from Its victims with Its knifelike
teeth. At such times it seems perfect
ly oblivious to pain or fright and can
be hacked with knives and pierced
with spears without paying the least
attention or seeming to take any no
tice. This savage creature reaches a
length of thirty to forty feet and Is
fully as large and even more formidable
than are the true man eating sharks.

Pendulums.
In the latitude of New York a pen
dulum must be 39.1 Inches to vibrate
every second. Nearer to the pole such
pendulum would vibrate more rapidly
and nearer to the equator more slowly,
for the reason that the pull of the
earth is less, since at the equator the
pendulum bt farther from the center of
gravity of the earth.

IN FINE CONDITION
The Gladstone city council Tues
day evening passed ordinances relat
ing to the services of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company and the Home- Telephone
Company. The ordinances provide
that the companies shall pay to the
city fifty cents for each telephone and
that all companies must use the same
polls. The polls must be 40 feet high
and must be given two coats of paint
annually. The council also reserves
the right to order the polls painted
when it sees fit. The companies have
not accepted the proposition of the
council. An ordinance providing for
the licensing of dogs was introduced.
It provides a license of $2 annually
for male dogs and $5 for female dogs.
An ordinance providing for the im
provement of Dartmoth Street was
