SHAW TRAPS MEN
T
C. F. Whitman, a hardware mer
chant of Woodburn, Friday identified
W. M. Allen, of Molalla, and C. G.
Kerr, a3 men who had passed fraudu
lent checks on him. He said that he
iiad been victimized by the men last
Saturday. Mr. Whitman also announ
ced that one of the men had passed
a check for $25 on W. H. Broyles, a
butcher of Woodburn. Chief of Po
lice Shaw who arrested the men is
convinced that they have been offer
ing worthless checks in various cit
ies in Oregon. He has learned that
checkes were cashed by them not only
in Woodburn, but in Mount Angel.
But for the activity of Shaw it is be
lieved that the men would now be in
another city trying to get . money for
worthless paper. Mr. Whitman said
Friday that he would prosecute them
to the limit.

mony was performed at the home of
the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs.
G. M. McDowell. All the relatives
and many friends of the bride aid
bridegroom were present. The cere

made of English ivy and calla lillies.
Mr. and Mrs. Roth are both well
known in South Oregon City and
Mount Pleasant and their friends
wish them great happiness. They have
rented a home on Seventh Street

MARTYR.S OF SCIENCE.
The other day Dr. Pauliu Mery, for
mer deputy 'for Paris,-died as the re
sult of an operation at the age of fifty
three. The operation was on his right hand
because of injuries received during X
ray experiments. Despite injuries and
warnings he had kept on with his
work. He died a martyr to science.
A short time earlier Dr. Simon, di
rector of the Radiographic Institute of
Geneva, lost his left hand for the same
cause, while his partner, Dr. Leroyer.
had sacrificed two fingers. Both are
going forward with their experiments.
Late in January Sir George Turner,
afflicted with leprosy as a result of his
heroic work for the lepers of South Af
rica, announced that he was going
back to devote his life to a battle with
the dread disease.
At about the same time Dr. Fried
mann laid his famous tuberculosis cure
before the chief of the German public
health department and invited the se
verest tests. This cure has long been
mystery. Others claimed to have dis-:
covered the secret, one from a former
employee of Dr. Friedmann, another
from a culture Taken from a Fried
mann patient. It was to give the pub
lic the real cure that Dr. Friedmann
took this radical step, though to do so
he handed to rhe world the results of
long years of patient research and skill.
It is thus that men give themselves
for the heaith of their fellows.
There is infinite hope for an age in
which such men thus give life and
limb or the fruits of a life's work for
the good of mankind. There is no com
plaint, rather a cheerful and matter of
fact surrender of their all that others
may re.
To te worthy to live in a time that
produces these and countless other
martyrs to science it Is necessary that
we do something.
It is a high standard they set before
us. But surely we are good enough
sports to accept the challenge.
We, too, will serve mankind, each in
his own way, in an attempt to play in
the high game of this second decade of
the twentieth century.
We may not be martyrs to science or
martyrs to anything else, but we. too.
can help on the world's progress.

BUTTER FAMINE
SEEMS il
The scarcity of fresh creamery
butter is the most pronounced known
to date this season. Not only are city
creameries reporting a shortage in
the make, but outside makers say
they sre not receiving sufficient cream
for their own requirements, therefore
cannot ship anything to the city.
This condition is true of practically
every section of the Pacific North
west at this time, therefore none of
the districts are able to help out the
others. Butter is so high in the East
and even in California, that it would
not be profitable to bring in any ma
terial supply from the outside mar
ket at- present.
The butter trade must, therefore,
worry along with about half of its
requirements. While- the present
strength of the -market would speak
for a further advance in the price,
creamery interests, as a rule, are not
inclined to look with favor upon any
change in quotations. Any change at
this time would be an advance, and
this is not desired, as the price of
butter is already at the extreme mark
where the general consumption lis
possible.

GERMANY WANTS
-EELS CAUGHT HERE
If Oregon City advertises the fact
tbat she- has plenty of eels, the town
may develop a profitable industry. At
least this is the opinion of the Ger
man Council for the Northwest, who
resides in Seattle. The Portland Com
mercial Club recently received a let
ter from this man, who stated that
he had heard of the eels at the Falis
of the Willamette and that he de.r
ed to learn something about them,
as he said they were considered a
delicacy in Germany and that every
year large numbers were shipped to
the United States in cans. He stat
ed that if they could be got in largo
numbers in this country there wftuld
be no need of shipping them from
Germany and that a profitable busl
'ness might be worked up here. Li
reply to his letter the Portland Com
niercial Club stated that eels could be
found at Oregon City by the millions,
but that they were not considered fit
for food.
This may be so, but the fact re
mains that for a great many years
the Indians ate them and considered
them a delicacy. Last year there
were more than 60 tons of eels taken
off the rocks and cooked by the gov
ernment and used as food for small
salmon in the hatcheries.

SCORES ARE KILLED
IN HOTEL BLAZE
OMAHA, Feb. ,28. A house full of
guests perhaps 25, perhaps 100 were
-burned to death here this morning
in a firu which destroyed the Dewey
1 Hotel, a ' second-class holstery. So
i swift rnd terriDle was the march of
the flames that wo went insane from
I fright.
i It is known that at least 50 persons
were registered at the hotel and the
I night clerk, who escaped narrowly
j with his own life, declared there were
I probably 20 other persons in the ho
I tel who were not registered. Only
I four bodies were recovered before the
i flames drove the .firemen from the
i building.
j Watchmen, policemen and others in
; the vicinity of the hotel declare that
I not to exceed a dozen persons escap
! ed from the burning structure, which
was entirely wrapped . in flames when
toe first companies reached the scene.
So suddenly did the flames reach
every part oi the building that few
of those asleep had time to reach
windows and none was able to get
to the fire escape.
The cause of the fire has not been
determined. It started in the rear of
the building but had gained great
headway before it was discovered.
The lower floor of the building was
occupied by the Raphael-Pred Cloth
ing Company,: the Hiller Liquor Com
pany and the Adams Express Com
pany. The stock of all these compan
ies is entirely destroyed. The known
dead are:
Mrs. Alice Bonnevie.
Charles Cummings, jumped from
third story, breaking his neck.

Accounts of the number of persons
in the building differed to such an
extent that accurate estimates of the
death list were impossible today. At
noon enly about 25 out of 60 per
sons estimated to have been in the
building had been accounted for defi
nitely, but it was known that a score
or mora of those who- had escaped
left the neighborhood without reveal
ing their identities.
The financial damage was about
$250,000.
Izzie Steiss, a paper carrier, was
one of the heroes of the fire. He was
preparing to start with his morning
route and was one of the first at the
fire. Even before the firemen arriv
ed he rushed into the building and
began assisting the night clerk to
arouse those asleep in the -building.
He helped drag several half-dazed
persons from the building and was
nearly suffocated. Steiss stepped out
side and collapsed from the effects of
the smoke.

SENT HOME FOR PRANK
About 15 High school students
were sent home Friday as a result of
a too free celebration of "stocking,
day". For several years the boys of
the school have celebrated the day
by wearing the "loudest" stockings
to be obtained at the local stores.
They roll their trousers up several
inches above the tops of their shoes
in order to show their hosiery. No
attention has heen paid by the pro
fessors heretofore to the prank of the
boys, but Friday about 10 of the boys
appeared wearing not only variegat
ed hose, but also overalls, and to cap
the climax several of the girls wore
long aprons that attracted much at
tention. Principal Pfingsten decided
that the joke had gone too far and .
sent the offenders home with instruc
tions not to return to school until to
day. Superintendent of Schools
Tooze is thinking seriously of having
"stocking day" eliminated.
