Pek Week, 10 Cents 45 DEAD !N STORM; PROPERTY LOSS BIG CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN STATES ARE SWEPT BY CYCLONE 11 PERSONS KILLED IN ONE TOWN Gale Demoralizes Wire and Train Service Hotel, Razed, Falls on Other Buildings, Adding to Death List CHICAGO, March 21. Spring ar xived in the Central West and South today on the wings of the most de structive storm of the year. Snow, sleet and gales of wind which in some sections became cyclones brought a heavy loss of life, wreck ed buildings, sunk vesssels on the lakes and brought the telephone and telegraph poles to the ground. The toll of death is estimated at 45, with every hour adding to the list of fa talities. Storm conditions were gen eral in Central and Southern states. The greatest loss of life is report ed from Lower Peach . Tree, Ala., where a cyclone which struck taat place this morning demolished the town and killed 27 . persons. Seven teen of the dead are white persons. Thirty-two were hurt, some fatally, by the twister, which did proptrey damage estimated at $150,000 and then swept on to Fulton, Ala., where 50 persons were injured, but none killed.- The storm swept with great fury over a dozen states, left in its wake a long train of death. At Poplar Bluff, Mo., five persons were killed and 50 injured in the crash of fall ing buildings, while at Hoxie, Ark., one was killed and 63 persons injur ed and the town virtually wiped out. A big hotel in the course of construc tion was blown down and the roof was thrown on another building, crushing it and injuring a dozen oc cupants. The railway station was de stroyed and an adjacent brick build ing flattened. Three stores were blown down and the school building wrecked. When the cyclone had de parted it left a path half a mile wide swept virtually clean through the center of the town. At Saline, La., another was killed and heavy damage done, not .only in Saline, but in Gibbsland, a town in the same parish. More telephone poles are down than in any storm in recent years and several days will probably elapse be fore wire connections will be normal.

THE TER LE, MUSIC ARRANGED ELABORATE PROGRAMS ARE PLANNED BY LOCAL CHURCHES WEATHER OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING Baptist, Congregational, Presbyterian and Other Congregations Among Those to Have Fine Easter The churches of Oregon City are making great preparations for the ob servance of Easter. Despite the un seasonable weather within the past few days, the spirit of Easter is in the air, and the weather man has promised a change from the disagree able Arctic winds to something better. Women who might have otherwise remained away from church, need not do so, for they will probably af ter all have a chance to display their Spring finery. At the First Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. W T. Milliken pastor, announces that both the morning and evening services at that church will largely be devoted to music. The choir will render two hymns and the following special music for the morning service will be given: Anthem, "Awake Thou That Sleepest' (J. Wallace Goodrich). Mr. J. W. Loder will sing a solo, "Eastertide" fBrackett). Dr. Milliken will speak upon the theme, "The Ris en Saviour". In the evening Gustav Flechtner will play a violin solo, '"Largo"' (Handel). Mrs. Olnuted will sing a solo "Ye Bells of Easter Day", and will be accompanieu by. Professor Flechtner. "The Light of the World ' (Steven Adams) will be sung by Mr. F. Olmsted. Dr. Milliken will speak upon "Our Saviour" m the evening. . , Rev. George Nelson Edwards an nounces that the morning service at the First Congregational Church will begin at 10:30 o'clock. Gustav Flecht ner will lead his orchestra of eight pieces and open with a prelude "Awak ening of Spring" by E. Back. The choir will sing "The Light of Easter" and the Sunday school children will sing an' anthem. Mr. Flechtner and orchestra will play the "Melody in F.' (Rubenstein). The male quartet will sing "Gethsemane ', (Wilson) and the choir will sing an anthem, "Praise to the Risen King". Just be fore the last anthem the Rev. Edwards will deliver a sermon, "The Chamber ed Nautalus". There will be com munion service, after which a recep tion will be held in honor of the new members. The Christiain Endeavor will hold a meeting at 6:30. At 7:30 the even ing services will be opened by the choir, singing "Lift Your Glad Voices". The mixed quartet will sing and Mrs. T. A. Burke will render a selected solo. Mr. Edwards will deliver a sermon in the evening on "A Message From the Dead." The choir will sing "Awaken Glad Soul." At the Presbyterian Church the new change in the services will be in effect. In the evening the church choir will have charge of the third of a series of services now in progress. This series of meeting is being large ly attended and being much appre ciated by the congregation. For the next Sunday evening the choir have prepared the following program: An them, "The Lord Is Risen Again" (Carrie B.- Adams) and "Lift Your Glad Voices" (Lorenz) ; "Gethsem ane", soprana solo and male quar tet, (Ira B. Wilson) ; soprano solo, "Lord of Life" (Cadman) ; anthems "Awaken Glad Soul'' and "Praise to Our King." TEACHERS TO VOLE ON TRAIi County School Superintendent T. J. Gary has sent out ballots to all of the teachers in Clackamas County to obtain their votes upon the new bill which was -introduced by Repre sentative Gill in the last legislature and which may eliminate the pres ent system of county institutes. The bill provides that if the majority of the teachers of the county who vote, signify their intention of wanting to change from the annual three days' institute to a training school, they may do so. At least 40 per cent of the teachers must vote upon the prop sition before the training schools can be so substituted. Any teacher who has taught 27 months will not be obliged to attend the schools. The expense of the training school would be provided in the same manner as the institute expenses are now met. Additional . expense shall be paid by the county court cut of the general fund. It is reported that the use of Glad stone Park has been offered for the training school, should the teachers vote to have one. It is stated that the park " could e used for three weeks prior to Chautauqua. CASTER Lillies, Calla Lillies, Spiraea, Heath ers Hyacinths, Tulips, etc. Also Cut Flowers.

LEVITT FAILURE TOTALS $140,000 LIABILITIES OF CLOTHING STORE GREATLY IN EXCESS OF ASSETS PAPER COMPANY TO HELP EMPLOYES HAWLEY MILL WILL ADOPT 10 HOUR SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK MEETING AF CREDITORS IS CALLED Trustee Probably Will be Named to Wind up Business Head of Firm Says Home Is Exempt B. N. Hicks, referee in bankruptcy, announced Friday that the liabilities of the J. Levitt Clothing Store were about $140,000. The assets listed by Khe members of the firm and as in dividuals are $90,000. It is hardly probable that the stock of goods on hand at special sale would bring as much as it would under usual condi tions. After the firm, which consisted of J. Levitt and M. Barde, made an as signment, several creditors asked that the firm be made involuntary bankrupts. A majority of the cred itors, however, did not subscribe to this action. The decree was enter ed, and the business will be settled under the supervision of the United States Court. Mr. Hicks announced that a meet ing of the creditors would be held at the court house April 1, to arrange a settlement of the, business. It is probable that a trustee will be ap pointed to dispose of the goods on hand. Mr. Levitt says his home in this city is exempt under the bank ruptcy law. He expects to resume business here as soon as the present trouble is settled. SiEVERS OFFICIATES AT FIRST JURY TRIAL . John Sievers, recently appointed justice of the peace in this district, succeeding W. W. H. Samson, con ducted his first jury trial Friday. The defendant was Aaron Anderson, ac cused of fishing in the Clackamas River, which is a closed stream. George C. Brownell represented the defendant. Anderson and James Dunmeier were arrested by Fish War dens Jewell and Talby December 4. The wardens declared they saw the men fishing with nets. The attorney for the defendant insisted upon hav ing a jury trial, and the jury almost immediately after the evidence was taken' returned a verdict of not guilty. It is probable that Dunmeier will not be tried. IS WATER FIT TO DRINK? IS QUESTION A committee of the city council is in correspondence with the secretary of the State Board of Health as to the condition of the Oregon City water. It is desired to know if the city water is safe, to drink and free from colon bacilli.- A great many in quiries have come to the city health officer and the council committee on pure water about the water. It was decided to take the matter up direct ly with the State Board of Health. An answer will probably be receiv ed from that body within a day or so. Most of the people of the city are boiling the .water they drink. PROBE WELCOMED BY COUNTY OFFICIALS A mass meeting of taxpayers of the county to investigate the county court and other county offices has been called through petition for Aprjl 5. The petition has been sign ed by several hundred voters. Charges of mismanagement of public funds in the purchase of county bridges have been made. It also is urged that an investigation of the contract with Mr. Nease for cruising the. tim ber oi! the county be made. The re fusal of the county and circuit judges of the use of the court rooms to the Farmers' Society of Equity for its meetings will be discussed. County Judge Beatie and other members of the court said Friday that the fullest investigation was de sired. At the last term of the county court an expert was employed to ex pert the books of the various county offices. He was at the time employed elsewhere. It also was urged that the books not be examined until after the first Monday in April when the biggest part of the taxes will have been received. A small classified ma win nut that vacant room.

Big Industrial Organization of Oregon City First in Staie Jo Operate Under New Statute Announcement was made by the management of the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company Friday that the ' 10 hour law passed at the last session of the legislature was satisfactory tn the comnanv in fiverv nartinular and that the new scale would be started at the plant next Monday. This means that each employe will hf nhle tn parn nhmit 3fl penta mnm a day than at present. The -company ill be the first one in Oregon to adopt the new scale, and although the law will not become effective for six weeks, it was decided to make the change at once. Under the ne? law, which was in troduced by C. Schuebel, representa tive of Clackamas County in the leg islature, the schedule of labor in fac tories and mills is fixed at 10 hours, although the employes may work three hours extra. For all overtime they are to receive the regular scale and one half additional wages. This will mean that employes new receiv 20 cents an hour will receive 30 cents an hour for overtime, and if they put in the maximum of overtime allowed by the law will increase their wages 30 cents daily. Heretofore for over time the workers received the regular scale. The. new mill of the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company will be in opera tion before September.
