SIGNS OF SPRING An honest citi ALL REMIND US zen of Clackamas says, ha has seen the first blue bird. Surely, if that is so, Spring has come, with all her alluring gentleness. Other reports have made it appear for some time that the vernal season was at hand, but the blue bird report clinches the argument. For the past several days snakes have been sunning them selves by the roadside and frighten ing the girls, children have been afield seeking the shy but beautiful "violet, birds have been twittering busily and building nests, the pheas ant has' been echoing its weird calls through the woodland, and mere man has been puttering about the garden both because be knows it is time, and because the energy also serves to discover worms that can be used for bait to coax the lucibus fish from his watery depths.

And in cases where inarita! conditions were detrradinff and intolerable she stayed married because there was noth ing else to do. THE GRADUAL INCREASE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IS EN ABLING HER TO CHOOSE HER MATE WITH GREATER FREEDOM AND INTELLIGENCE: IT IS ALSO ENABLING HER TO DIVORCE HIM IN THE EVENT OF A MARRIAGE TURNING OUT DISTINCTLY UN SUCCESSFUL. THERE IS NOW AN ALTERNATIVE. MAN CAN NO LONGER STARVE HER INTO SUBMISSION. The titue honored belief that it was woman'9 duty to bestow her person in exchange for food, shelter and clothing is giving way to a newer, higher ideal that makes recognition of the equal rights of the sexes; THE FEMINIST IDEAL, one may call it, that is based on a fine, healthy, continuous companionship and an equal sharing of burdens within and without the home. And these new conditions, of course, carry with them a new social attitude toward divorce. It is further recognized that unsuccessful marriages CANNOT BE MADE REAL AND FINE bv any imaginable pressure of the .law or of public opinion. It is as easy to make a dead rosebush blos som by a court order as to breathe life into a sex relationship that is not a real marriage in the hearts of the persons concerned. -It is only through a sober, patient study of things as they are, A FEARLESS, UNFLINCHING ONSLAUGHT AGAINST THE WRONGS OF TRADITION and a brave and open minded accept ance of new conditions that will lead to the adjustment these changes 1 in the economic status of women have brought into our social rela tionships.

On arriving in the me tropolis, they find that the parties they went to see are at the game, and so they, perforce follow though they had no intention of so wasting half a day when they started out: of course not. Surely Spring is at hand, even if the blue bird report had not. af forded the last proof. Young things of the gentler sex feel the ineffable presence of the season of blossom and glory, dresses are becoming gayer, the diaphonous shirtwaist is reappearing in business offices, bridge parties are being neglected while plans for picnics are being made, and there is a general rush of inquiry to the ticket offices for literature of the beaches and the- mountains. The older fold are thinking of house cleaning and then of the restful after noons when there will be no prepara tions for the evening meal, which shall be eaten cold from the sideboard as the family sit upon the porch in the evening and battle with mosquitos and moths. Of a verity, Spring is with us, and it is good to know that the annual report of the first blue bird has come to hand. But suppose the blue bird were a jay?

MORE RAILROADS RUMORED HEARBY Railroad rumors are as thick in the Williamstte and Clackamas valleys as flies in summer time. The latest excitement in this line is reported from communities between Milwaukie and Clackamas station, where it is sad that agents representing two rival lines are busy seeking rights-of way privileges over farm land. One outfit seems to be searching for a route that will bend gradually east ward from Milwaukie and so skirt the northern side . of the Clackamas val ley, running in the general and in definite direction of Mount Hood; while the other party of promoters are making vague statements about a line from Portland, through Milwau kie, and thence almost due south to Oregon City. Ranchers and farmers have been interviewed by representa tives of both roads, but are not tumbl ing over themselves to grant rights-of-way, as the agents do not seem to be overburdened with convincing cre dentials. There is also a revival of the old report that the Southern Pacific may soon change thg route of its main line so as to avoid the curve to the .eastward from Willsburg through"! East Milwaukie, Clackamas and Glad stone, and will operate this line as an electric feeder to the new main line that will follow almost a direct tang ent south from Sellwood. This re port has been sprung so ofen, how ever, that but little credence is now placed in it. MILWAUKIE RESORT OUT OF BUSINESS The doom of the Milwaukie Tavern, otherwise known as "Bobbie Burns' place," which was sounded when Governor West and the militia threat ened last fall to raze the place, was completed Tuesday night, when the Milwaukie council revoked its license. Numerous complaints have been made about the place for the past year, and the council, tiring of the revels that were formerly the rule at the resort, decided to take drastic steps and close it. The tavern was reconstructed from a former club house, and soon became S.. taaherfl oelement the mecca for "joy-riders" and the element that follows in their trail, During Governor West's spectacular "clean-up" campaign the tavern was made an objective point of the execu tive's attacks, and eventually was the "!?e-.0I.a?0.?f bUfff S.e'ge ?,-!he ! part of a small party of state militia- nan frtll I n rr tWo i-Tn n fnnrn i,,,.

Mitchell was ! elected chairmon of the body. j COUNCIL MEETING OFF; NO QUORUM IS PRESENT A special meeting of the city coun cil, set for Tuesday night, to consider the application of certain liquor deal ers for a permit to sell their stock at wholesale, following the closing of their saloons by order of the council j iur viuiauuiis ui me orumauces, lanea to materialize on the date arranged, owing to the absence of a sufficient number of members to maki! a quo rum". The matter set for considera tion will now go over to the special meeting called for next Wednesday evening. Attorneys.who have looked into the matter -of the application for a spe cial permit in the case of the liquor dealers say that they do not believe such permission can legally be grant ed, and that in all probability the council will be forced to deny the ap plications. - - Scoop Isn't Very Long On ' - - - m A Real Queen of Diamonds Is "Lucky" Baldwin's Daughter z. , irv ft , n - y I ;hb M b V$? if ii -$0 A, 3r!?i ISH ;l t$ -if j 1 1 , : .Jr V a tr- -.'4 .
