MAYOR JONES THINKS PROJtCT
"A NT ED ELU VI AN" AND SAYS

DANGER TO HEALTH BROUGHT OUT

"I do not think that Oregon City
will have such an antedeluvian thing
as a municipal hitching rail, as sug
gested to the council," said Mayor
Jones Thursday, when discussing
the project for a public standing
place for teams on Fifth street, just
off Main street. The matter was
was brought up at Wednesday's coun
cil meeting, and was placed .in tile
hands of a special committee. The
mayor said that he believed the com
mittee would report against the plan.
"It seems to me," said Mayor Jones,
"that the idea of a hitching rail at
this day is rather out of date. I be
lieve it might be a good thing to
have a public shed for farmers' teams
but I strongly disapporve of the
hitching rail idea."
Objection to the hitching rail has
also been raised upon sanitary
grounds, it being pointed out that if
Oregon City were to set apart a half
block as proposed for visitors to
hitch their teams, a public nuisance
would be created. It is said that flies
would be attracted to the place by
the horses, and would find in the un
avoidable piles of refuse and other
material an ideal breeding place
right in the heart of the city. As the
council is at present considering or
dinances for the betterment of sta
bles and for the enforced use of cov
ered metal cans for all waste and
garbage, it is not believed that the
hitching rail will be viewed kindly
by the special committee.
Citizens familiar with condtions in
other cities point out the fact that
in North Yakima, Wash., not long
ago, public hitching places Were
abolished by the city, they being
viewed in that town as a menace to
the health of the community.
The special council committee
handling the project is expected to
report on the matter at the next reg
ular meeting, April 16.

Kansas City addition had a small
pox scare Thursday morning, and for
a time serious loss of time in school
hours was threatened, as well as much
excitement throughout the neighbor
hood. When the matter was sifted I
to the bottom, however, nothing re
gained but smiles on the faces ofj
the "grown ups" . involved in the .
scare, and something considerably
different from smiles on the faces of
the children responsible.
The excitement started when a
number of grammar school pupils
appeared at school with a vivid rash
on their faees and hands, and gen
eral complaints as to their bodily
health. The teacher who first beheld
them spread the alarm, somebody
said something about smallpox, and
the scare was then on in earnest.
The children effected were at once
segregated, but a lack of apprecia
tion of the seriousness of the matter
on their part made some of the cooler
grown people suspicious; and instead
of being hastened away to quarantinb
the youngsters were put through ai
mild form of "'third degree."
While all of the children question
ed reported themselves as sick, they
described a wide variety of symptoms.
Fnally one small tot broke down, and
confessed that there was really noth
ing the matter with him, beyond
"spring fever" and a desire to go
fishing. Subsequent inquiry then
brought forth the fact that the young
sters had determined that school
days were irksome this balmy weatV I
er, and that they had deliberately
and with malice aforethought mas-1
saged themselves with tender poison
oak leaves, and had then agreed to
hint gently that they were afflicted
with smallpox.
The first part of their plan worked
out admirably, and they all developed
a perfectly villianous looking rash.
Later on, when the ruse was discov
ered, however, and when the excite:
ment of the trick wore off and per
mitted them to appreciate . the itch-1
ing and burning that went witn the I
rash, they were not so happy. After
examination, all the "sufferers" were
forced to continue in school, much to
their own discomfort and the en
joyment of those who had not con
spired with them for a springtime
holiday.

OREGON CITY WOOLEN MILL
CALLED "LIBERAL"
A plat of the townsite of Liberal,
located at the junction of the Port

Clackamas Southern railways, was
filed with the county recorded Thurs
day. The plat is dedicated by F. M.
Swift and Edwin Foster, Jr., and
contains 25 acres, divided into build
ing lots and acre tracts. The town
site lies on the crest of a hill, over
looking . the' Molalla valley, and is
12 1-2 miles east of Oregon City.
The land lies on a gentle slope, and
the soil is reported to be excellent
for agricultural purposes. The loca
tion at the junction of the two rail
roads is regarded as most favorable
for development. The plat was sur
veyed by S. A. D. Hungate, but will
not be placed on the. market until
construction of the Clackamas South

CLACKA.MAS SOUTHERN TO RUN
TRAINS TO BEAVER CREEK
AS SOON AS LINE FINISHED
SEEAM POWER TO BE USED FIRST
Possible Extension of Road to Port
land Under Consideration, Though
i- Route Is Not Selected to
City Limits
As soon as construction of the
Clackamas Southern Railway is com
pleted as far as Beaver Creek, a
freight and passenger service will be
installed on the line from Oregon
City to stations to the east and
south. While it is the intention of the
officials of the road to eventually op
erate it by electricity; the service to
Beaver Creek will be handled by
steam locomotives.
The initial service, it was said by
an official of the line, will be used
exclusively for the handling of freight,
but just as soon as it is determined
how the needs of the patrons of the
road may best be served, passenger
trains will be put on. In all probabil
ity the passenger service will consist
of a train a day in each direction,
with possibly the use of a passenger
coach on the freight train, as well.
Though no formal announcement
of the matter has as yet been made,
it has also been learned that power
ful pressure is being brought to
bear on the managers of the new line
to extend their road into Portland.
It is said that a Portland capitalist
stands ready to finance the extension
of the line to the metropolis, and
that a right of, way can easily be
secured. The route of a possible ex
tension to Portland has been under
consideration, and it is said that
while the construction of a direct
line from Oregon City is not likely,
the company may, at a future date,
construct a branch from some point
in the Clackamas valley to Portland
by way of Clackamas station and
either Milwaukie or Woodstock.
Report that the Portland develop
ment of the line was to be made
along the tentative route for an in
terurban road mapped out by L.
Monte Lepper, of Portland, was em
phatically . denied by officials of ..the
road. -

three coming events, the celebration
of Memorial Day, the state encamp

Three members of the local ' post

journey to the site of the great battle
this summer.
Oregon City will send a large del
egation to the state encampment at
Newburg, and the local post will take
a prominent part in the exercises
there.
Plans are now under way for gen
eral exercises here on Memorial Day,
part of which will be the visiting of
the public schools by the veterans,
and the recounting to the children the
salient points of the great struggle
for the preservation of the nation.
Details of the Memorial Day program
are yet to be worked out. "
Of the local veterans who fought
at Gettysburg, one has already de
clared his intention of returning to
the battlefield in July, and it is be
lieved that the other two will also
make the pilgrimage. Until plans are
completed for the journey, however,
the members of the local post desire
to refrain from making definite an
nouncement. Plans for the celebration here of
Memorial Day, and the assignment of
speakers at the public, schools, will
also be announced in the near future,
when details for this annual feature
have been worked out.
