W. A. SHEWMAN'S
DEATH PEACEFUL
1
WELL KNOWN PUBLISHER DIES
LATE MONDAY AFTER
NOON IN PORTLAND
HEALTH FAILING FOR PAST YEAR
Wife is at Bedside Whejv End Comes
to Patient During Sleep
Was Prominent Mason
and Elk
Peacefully, as the coming on of a
gentle sleep, death called William A.
Shewman, editor of the Western
Stock Journal, Monday afternoon at
the Good Samaritan hospital, Port
land. Mrs. Shewman was with him
when the end came to end an illness
that has caused him no little suffer
ing for the past several months.
Death followed an unsuccessful op-
eration, which Mir. Shewman under-
went in Portland after having first
sought relief in the milder climate
of California.
Mr. Shewman has been in poor
health for the past years, and for the
past several months has been unable
to attend to his duties in connection
with his paper. Under the advice of
physicians he went to California in
February, but the change did him
but little good, and he returned to
his home at Concord some weeks
ago. There a consultation of doc
tors was called, and it was deemed
advisable to operate. At this time
his health was not sufficiently robust
to stand the ordeal, but after hospi
tal care in Portland it was decided
to attempt this last drastic move for
his recovery. Mr. Shewman stood
the operation well, but the disease
with which he was suffering had pro
gressed too far for surgical skill to
. remedy, and the surgeons gave up
hope of his ultimate recovery. It
was believed, however, that he would
regain sufficient strength to make it
possible to remove him to his home
the latter part of this week.
Mr. Shewman was born in Ran
dolph, New York, 41 years ago. Af
ter completing his education in East
ern schools he moved to Pennsyl
vania, where be entered the lumber
business. After his marriage- he
was for several years associated with
his father-in-law, J. F. Watson, in
the same line of work in the Key
stone state.
In 1908 he came to Oregon City,
and assumed management of The
Courier, which he ran successfully
for four years, finnaily selling out
to Frost and Brdwn, the nresent pro
prietors. Following this he under
took the publication of the Western
Stock Journal, and with this publi
cation attained an envied success
iv. '
imiiumjj me paper up until it was
one of the leading trade journals in
its special field in the northwest.
Mr. Shewman was a Mason and an
Elk, and was highly respected in the
community. He was a member of
the Episcopal church, and was prom
inent in church work. The funeral
.will probably be held from the Epis
copal church here, and in all likli
hood the Rev. W. C. Robinson will
officiate. Aside from his widow he
Is survived by a son, Alon Shewman,
12 years of age.
For sometime previous to his
death, Mr. Shewman was in conver-
sation with his wife at the hospital, ;
and said that he was feeling much I
stronger. Shortly after four in tho
afternooD he 'complained of feeling
sleepy, and rolling over in his bed,
sank into a slumber from which he
never roused. Death came to him
at 4:30 p. m. ,

MILLS TAKES BIG STEP
FOR EMPLOYEES
ARTISTIC COTTAGES TO BE BUILT
Fifty-seven Acres of Land Overlook

Model Suburb for Bene
fit of Workers
Fifty-seven acres of prettily situ
ated land, overlooking the river and
slopine so that the best of drainage
may be obtained, has been platted asi
"Willamette Heights" by the Willam
ette Pulp & Paper Mills, and will be
sold exclusively to employees of the
plant, so that they may have the best
of home surroundings and conditions.
This plat was dedicated on Monday,
and elaborate plans for the disposal
and improvement of the land have
been made by the papsr mill man
agement. The acreage has heen divided into
201 tracts of residence site size.
Most of the smaller tracts are a lit
tle larger than the average city lot,
though some of them of irregular
shape, and will form excellent loca
tions for the very nicest of homes. In
addition to disposing of these lots iD
Willamette Heights, the mill com
pany is also prepared to have erected
for such of its employees as buy
there houses of neat and attractive
appearance and modern design.
Sixteen different sets of plans,
each set: providing for a home that
is distinctive and up-to-date, have
heen prepared by an architect for the
company:, and employees will he giv
en a choice of these plans. The
houses thus designed range from
neat little bungalows to more pre
tentious homes that will cost $3,090
to build. The choice of plans thus
provided by the company will not
only enable every employes to suit
his or her earning capacity, but will
also provide an artistic variety of
houses and architecture in the addi
tion.
The land itself will be sold to em
ployees at cost, and the houses will
be erected and only enough charged
for them to cover actual construction
costs. No interest will be charged.
and while employees are paying for
the property there will to no taxes
assessed against it. It is the plan
of the company to. permit enfployees
to buy lets and houses on the install
ment plan, and the rates will be ex
ceptionally low and reasonable. In
taking this step the management of
the big concern fsels that it will be
helping in bettering the health and
home surroundings of its employees,
and believes that as a result a bet-
ter class of men and women will be
attracted to the mills in the future
while those at present employed will
develop, a greater spirit of fealty
and; co-operation.
The tract thus to be thrown open
to the fortunate employees adjoins
the property of the Dest Oregon City
school, so that there will be ample
and accessible school facilities.
In addition to this a large tract at
the southwestern corner of the acre
age will be reserved for park pur
poses, and will be landscaned . ahd
otherwise beautified and improve!
so that t!le residents of the addition
will have a breathing place where
rest hours may be enjoyed. Located
as it is near the crest of the hill, and
overlooking the river, the site will
be one of the most attractive in this
district. In thus planning a thorough
ly modern addition to the city, the
mill company has made every en
deavor to keep away from stereo
typed design, and to give to its em
ployees the best that is possible.

and Carmel Sullivan on. the harp, all
of Portland. Miss Sadie Evelyn
Ford of his city acompanied at the
piano.
Mrs. Miller greatly pleased her
audience with hSr beautiful mellow
tones and perfect control " over her
voice at all times. The charm of her
manner only added to her artistic
bearing. The "Irish Love Song," by
Lang, was especially pleasing and
won hearty applause to which Mrs.
Miller responded, "The Worldly
Hope Men Set Their Hearts Upon,"
by Liza Lehmann, showed the wide
range and power of the singer's
voice.. Mrs. Miller's duet with Mr.
McGuire, "Stay Sweet Swallow." by

numbers on the program.
Stuart McGuire, who has sung in
this city several times before, was
suffering from a slight cold. His
numbers nevertheless were pleasing
and much appreciated by the audi
ence. 1'Registuation" w3 well ren
dered and evoked much applause and
an encore. Mr. McGuire has a rich
and powerful baritone voice.
Miss Carmel Sullivan completely
won her audience wit her dilicate
touch and complete mastery of the
harp. Her dainty manner adwded
much to her charm "Le Reveil Des
Elfes," by Charles Oberther, was
beautiful, and won an encore to
which Miss Sullivan responded with
the "Barcrola." Miss Ford's 4 accom
paniment on the pian0 was - attrac
tive and finished as it is well known
to the people of this city.
The concert was a success and was
largely attended by the musical and
society people of the city. Great
credit is due the Derthick club for
$100 A MINUTE
RAISED BY ROAD
One hundreds dollars a minute,
was the rate at which money was
subscribed at a meeting of the stock
holders of the Clackamas Southern
railway in the parlors of the Com
mercial club Monday evening. A
suggestion was made that a vote be
taken to see how much money coould
be raised. In nearly 20 minutes
$2,000 had been subscribed and taken
out in stock. This is considered a
remarkable accomplishment when it
is considered that no campaign had
been waged to raise the money, and
it was all subscribed without pre
vious solicitation.
The fact shows what kind of peo
ple are behind the line and of the
great amount of confidence they have'
in it. The raising of two thousand
dollars at last night's meeting snould
be sufficient to convince any dubious
perscn that the line is going to be
completed its entire length.
At the meeting reports by the of
ficers of the company- were read
which showed that more than three
miles of track have bsen laid and
that the company expects the line in
to Beaver Creek within thirty days.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
and everybody expressed themselves
as being highly pleased with the
condition of the line. There was
not a single "knocker" inn the crowd
and everybody went away boosting
for the Clackamas Southern.
The line will commence producing
revenue as soon as it reaches-Beaver
Creek. From this place large
amounts of logs,, cordwood and ties
will be hauled. But a small amount
of work remains to be done between
Oregon City and Beaver Creek.

WOMAN ASKS AID;
Edith Augustine appeared before
Judge 11. B. Beatie Monday afternoon
and told the court that she was in
such destitute circumstances, because
of the failure of her husband to pro
vide a home for her, that she could
no longer care for her three-year-old
child, Kathryn. Her own parents,
she said, were unable to assist her,
and she asked the court to make
some provision for her little girl.
His honor ordered the baby com
mitted for the time being, to the
Boys & Girl's Aid Society, and re
quested Mrs. Augustine to' take a
seat in the court room while he
made out the commitment papers
and sent for the society' s agent.
Twenty minutes or so later the judge
looked up, and noted that the woman
and little girl had disappeared from
the room, He sent his bailiff into the
hall to look for them, but diligent
search through the courthouse failed
to reveal their presence anywhere.
It is supposed that the mother
changed her mind, and decided to
keep the child with her. The order
for commitment had been signed,
however, and the judge deems it best
to place the youngster in the care of
the society. A search for the mother
and child will be Instituted.

Protest When Minors Were
Served Liquor
The city council Monday afternoon
at a special meeting lasting nearly
two hours, refused t0 issue special
liquor licenses to D. M. Klemson and
Peter Kern, to whom the council
refused to issue new licenses the
first of the present month, because
they had violated the liquor laws.
Mr. Klemson and O.. D. Eby, who rep
resented Peter Kern asked that the
council give them special permits, ex
tending 60 days, or until July 1. feo
that they might sell the liquor which
they have in stock. Frank Under
man, another saloonman, who was
closed out by the council, has already
disposed of his stock and had noth
ing to say on the subject.
Mr: Eby, speaking for Mr. Kern,
stated that it was a difficult matter
for him to dispose of the liquor which
he had on hand, as under existing
conditions, the Portland wholesale
houses were about the only people
who would be willing to buy. These
houses, he said, offered a price so
low that Mr. Kern would loose
money. He said that he did not be
lieve this was right, and he thdught
that they should be allowed t0 sell
the stock in quantities small enough
so that he would not loose money.
He stated that the government li
censes were good until July 1, and
believed the saloons should be al
lowed to run until that time. C.
Schubel stated the government li
censes had nothing to do wjith the
city licenses,
Mr. Klemson said the city was
forcing him into great loss, and he
thought it nothing more than con
fiscation of his property. He said
that if the council did not give- him
a license, he was either going to be
come a preacher or a professor, as
he believed these occupations a lit
tle more secure, at least in Oregon
City.
In.. answer to Mr. Eby, who chall
enged anybody to , say a word that
would cast reflection upon Mr. Kern,

WASHINGTON, D. C, Apr 21.
(Special) This was the days of the
west and the spirit of the west in
congress," and moro particularly in
the senate. Senator Chamberlain, of
Oregon, figured largely in the lime
light, both by hurling defiance at the
British lion, and by joining with
Senators Lane, of his own state, and
Poindexter, of Washington, In an ap
peal for granting suffrage to .wlmen
by constitutional amendment. Sena
tor French, of Idaho, also joined in
with the suffragists.
The "big noise" of the dayjiow-,
ever, came when Senator Chamber
lain, with the backing of Senator
O'Gorman, of New York, introduced a
joint resolution -to abrogate the Hay
Paunceforte and Clayton-Bulwer
treaties. Senator Chamberlain's ac
tion came as a protest against the
agitation to yield to Great Britain's
request that the free-tolls provision
be removed from American shipping
through the Panama canal.
In introducing his resolution the
senator grilled those whom he called
"anglomaniacs who plead the cause
of Great Britain," and said he want
ed to give them "something to think
about." Senator Chamberlain's re
marks caused a slight flurry at the
British embassy, where they -were
much discussed. He said in part:
"It ''s very easy for us of the Pa
cific coast to see the influences at
the bottom of this whole British pro-
test. There never would have been
anything heard of such a protest had
it not been for certain trunk line
roads, which have enlisted our trans
continental railroads in their behalf.
"It is high time for an illuminating
discussion of this whole question.
The pro-British side has been too
long before the people unchallenged."
News that the Japanese govern
ment had requ&sted Admiral Togo,
hero -if the Russo-Japanese war, to
resume command of the Japanese
navy, did not greatly stir official
Washington, except to mirth.
