volving the estate of a man whose
body was found near Springbrook
Schoolhouse, near Oswego, five years

convinced that Mrs. Robinson was not
a daughter of the man, and removed

brother, Christian Haist. Bernard
Haist died soon after and Attorney

FOL DE ROL CLUB
GIVES DANCE TONIGHT
Plans have been completed for the
Fol De Rol dance which will be giv
en in this city this evening. Most of
the club members will be kept busy
today decorating Busch's Hall, in
which a Japanese scene will be us
ed. A large number of Japanese lan
terns will be used and the whole
room will be made to resemble a bit
of Japan. Olson's orchestra will play
only the latest and most modern mu
sic. The music at the last dance
created much favorable comment,
A unique feature of the evening
will be several distinct and original
ideas that will probably be used in
connection with the moonlight dances.
A small spot light will be operated
in the balcony and will play upon the
floor during these dances. If the
weather permits the beautiful balcony
overlooking the river will be used as
a promenade. Punch will be served.
The patronesses will be Mrs. L. L.
Pickens, Mrs. John Lewthwaite, Jr.,
Mrs. J. W. Cole and Mrs. M. D. Lat
ourette. Attractive programs as well as in
vitations have been prepared. The
committee in charge of the dance is
composed of Joe Hedges, Allie E.
Levitt, Lorain Ostrom, Raymond
Caufield, Lloyd Harding, Alfred Cook,
Kent Moody, Kent Wilson and Arthur
Farr.

FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
THE LIBRARIAN'S DEPARTURE.
OREGON CITY, April 3. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) I was glad to see
in your editorial column, Saturday
reference made to the departure of
Miss Holmes, librarian, and rather
liked the way you talked of the same.
That the community has sustained
a distinct loss in the departure of
one so specially qualified for the
workf is admitted by all. Certain it
is that the library committee can eas
ily get what was considered at one
time a "librarian," that is a person to
hand out books, and check them.
But to get a librarian in the true
sense of the word is a different prop
osition. So much depends on the advice
given, especially to the young, on
what books to read and what not to
read. -
I think the people of Oregon City
should demand the exact cause of
Miss Holmes' departure. Hoping the
library committee will do this.
R. A. TROOSMAN.
FARMERS PUT UP .MONEY.
OREGON CITY, April 2. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) Just a few words
I hope you may print. "Our O. A.
C. entertains in fine style our manu
facturers association, and - who pays
tor it The farmers pay for it.
The O. A. C. entertains the State
Grange which the editor of the Cou
rier Equity News knows is a farm
ers' organization, and which has
many times the number' of members
the Manufacturers' Association has
Who pays for it? The farmers pay
part ot it. .
"Twenty-two O. A. C. students are
ducked by a committee of upper class
men. We farmers might stop a good
deal of lobbying and save the state
several hundreds of dollars by going
down there and join in the game."
I suggest that the' Courier's Equity
editor make the trip at once. If he
wishes I will go along and help him.
The sooner he takes the plunge the
sooner will some of his muddy color
ed ideas be washed away.
"Our state appropriates large sums
to our O. A. C. to have the streets
of Corvallis paved." The Courier edi
tor might also absorb a little informa
tion along this line after he has had
his bath. In fact he could find many
things the girls and also the boys
have done to help things along.
"Our O. A. C. wants all our money
to entertain the Manufacturers' As
sociation and then make fun of us
for not having automobiles." Just
above these lines the Courier's edi
tor styles himself the hayseed editor
The name surely fits, for who else
would have such a wonderfully bril
liant idea. The ducking might also
brighten this point a bit.
The Editor has the right idea about
the accounts he should keep of the
hogs, berries and the number of
spuds it takes to educate a boy at
the O. A. C. I have seen it tried
and it works fine. The Courier's
Equity Editor can do no better by
himself, his boy, or humanity than
to count out the spuds at once and
start his boy to college before he
absorbe too much from his father, j
If the Courier, is too fine a paper
to carry the college advertisement
why does it stoop so low as to throw
mud at the same. "Space in the Cou
rier is too valuable for such non
sense as that."
I suppose the article, "Just Non
sense", belongs to the Equity Editor
also. Surely he spent a great deal
of time to think of that. His only
mistake was in not placing it at the
head of those two columns. His
views and comments would be well
classified then.
. In the above mentioned article,
why limit the number of hours to
four or six a day Mr. Editor? Wouldn't
it be better to make it twelve or
fourteen as the farmer does who
knows more than the "dressed up
teachers?" Why put the days at
five? Your man in overalls and jump
ers puts in seven as a rule. Why
not try out your plan on your own
boy and girl, if you are so blessed,
so the world' may judge the wonder
ful results. "If you don't agree to
a proposition of this kind it is
proof" that you are standing in the
way of the working man's progress.
Brother Harris, if the Courier's
Equity Editor wishes to know; used
a fine brand of 1 linament for four
years and has never given it up
since. I have seen it work on many
others and although the Equity Ed
itor's case, may be rather doubtful I
know it can be highly recommended.
If the Courier's Equity Editor
wishes to visit the institution at
Corvallis I will be glad to furnish
half of the car "fare and go with him
on his tour of inspection.
Yours truly,
D. S. YOUNG.
CLUB DECIDES TO
The Mount Pleasant Civic Improve
ment Club Tuesday night decided to
build a sidewalk on the east side of
the road as far as the material on
hand would go, providing the resi

tigate the planting of telephone poles,
digging of ditches, etc. A meeting
