WOMEN FAVORED
Decision of United States Distrt
Court Judge Wolverton in the fam
ous ' "Oregon & California" land
grant case, rendered Tuesday in Port
land, is of especial interest to Clack
amas county, as much of the area
involved lies in the heavily timbered
sections of this county. The suit
was brought by the government to
revoke the land ""
', - c-vtuv Bivtn tne Ore
gon & California railroad, long siiice
absorbed by the Southa v
- iuc, on
the ground that the conditions of the
grant had not been fu'filled. The
main condition at issue was that
land in the grant be resold to bona
fide settlers at $2.50 an acre.
By his decesion, Judge Wolverton
gives the victory to the government,
and forfeits to the national domain
'2.373,000 acres in the original grant.
The case was long and bitterly con
tested, but at the end was virtually
abandoned by the railroad attorneys.
What disposition will be made of
the land is now problematical It
may be thrown open to settlement, or
it may be held in reserve. With a
Western man in office as secretary
of the interior, it is hoped that the
land will largely be thrown open to
settlers, but the attitude of the ad
ministration on this matter has not
yet been determined.
An interesting complication in con-
nection with the outcome of the suit
is that -arious realty promoters have
procured payments from -citizens of
Oregon and elsewhere for "claims"
in the grant, and have agreed to fur
nish the payees either homestead
rights or acreage in the area, depend
ing upon how the suit was decided.
With the land back in government
hands, these promoters cannot de
liver homesteads, and it is a matter
of some conjecture what they will do
to satisfy their clients.

PROFIT !N SPUDS?
PERHAPS THERE IS!
This is strictly speaking a market
story, and it concerns potatoes, the
high cost of living and a Gladstone
man. Poftoes just at present are
considerable of a glut on the market
owing to the heavy acreage planted
last year and the exceptional fertility
of Clackamas county soil. In lact
some growers have been feeding the
tubers to pigs. Howere, most of thorn
have been selling their spuds for
what they could get So it was with
this Gladstone man.
A resident of. the suburbs of Glad
stone met him on the street the other
day and asked him what he was sell
ing potatoes for. The Gladstone man
knew prevailing prices, and said he
, guessed 35 cents would be about
right. The surburban dweller paid
him three dimes and a nickel, and
asked him to send a sack out. Ke
joicing at the cash in hand, the G ad
stone man hied him away to his little
place, did up a sack of tubers, and
engaged a teamster to tote them out.
When the teamster returned, the
Gladstone man asked him how much
It was for carting the spuds.
"About fifty cents, four bits," an
swered the teamster, "I gotta buy
grain for them horses o' mine"
When the Gladstone man recovered
he paid the bill. Now he is trying
to figure out how a "small rancher"
can make money by selling potatoes
at 35 cents a sack, buying the sack
and paying 50 cents for cartage. At
last computation he had reached the
conclusion that he was something
over 16 cents In the hole on. the deal,

felt much more greatly in the sum

food stuffs are as clean and pure as

Portland has had several women
! inspectors of this kind for years, and
i has found that they have done credit-
able and valuable wdrk. Other cities
j both in this state and elsewhere,
j have women inspectors, and it is
generally conceded that the work is
; a valuable asset to the government of

The council wil be asked at an
( early time to appoint or make ar
I rangements for the appointment of
a woman inspector of markets. The
civic committee wil aid the women in
securing this appontment, and will
report their action to the Live Wires
at their next meeting.
COMMERCIAL CLUB FORMED
At an enthusiastic meeting at Mo
lalla Tuesday evening steps were
taken for the formation of a Com
mercial club, which will work for the
development of the town and sur
rounding district. .An excellent ban
quet was served, and speeches of a
most laudatory character were made.
From Oregon City there were pres
ent, among others, Grant B. Dimick
and P. M. Swift. Both spoke of the
friendly feelings entertained for the
neighbooring town by the people of
the county seat, and the hope was
expressed that the opening of service
on the Clackamas Southern would
bring the two communities into clos
er touch with each other.

This announcement is of more than
ordinary. Interest to theatre-goer3 of
this cits. It will be the first appear
ance, of Mr. Nat Goodwin here since
his unfortunate accident. ci;iu months :
ago, which made his retirement from i
the stage imperative. There wsre:
grave doubts as to whether Mr. Good
win would ever be able to appear
again; but he ha-3 recovered his usual'
most famous role. .Fa gin gives Mr.
good healt-i and is now enacting his
Goodwin unusual " opportunities to
display his rare genius as an actcr. '
and Naw York critics were unanim
ous in their praise and declared this
role to be the greatest achievement
of this remarkable actor's history.
He appears as the nonchalant villain ;
and puts into the part all the hideous
characteristics that have mads the
name a' by-word throughout the Eng-!
lish-speaking world. ;
"Oliver Twist" is without a doubt
Charles Dickens' most powerful story. !
Many dramatic versions of the book
have been made, but Mr. Oliver Moro-
sco, under- whose direction the play
is produced, selected Comyn Carr s
as the most available for Mr. Good
win's use. Tiiis version is the latest,
and Jias never before been seen in
the west. If was ued for the first
time in this country last spring when
Mr. Goodwin appeared in the play at
the New Amsterdam theatre, New
York.
Mr. Morosco has surrounded the
star with a carefully selected cast of
rare balance and excellence, the
names of which are we 1 known to
theatre-goers of this oity. The stage

carefully detailed and artistic in ev

fishing privileges on the Willamette,
during the season. A meeting of the
Oregon City Fishermen's Union was
held Tuesday night, at which these
matters were settled.
At the meeting it was the unanim
ous opinion of the union that each
boat-engaging in the fishing this
year should pay an assessment of $25
towards the exnense of maiutaisirig
an agency at Salens s gee that ad
verse leiris'.stion to local fishing in
terests was not passed. In former
years the Oregon City men have
borne their burden alone, and boats
have paid from $25 to $75 to main
tain a representative at the state cap
itol to look after their interests. Out
side fishermen have enjoyed the priv
ileges that resulted, and it is thought,
that it is Only fair that this year all
boats engaged in fishing pay their
share of the upkeep of the Salem
bureau. - . .
Local commercial fishermen wish
to emphasize the fact that there will
be no discrimination against outside
boats. In assessing the charge cf
$25 a beat they fee', that they are
perfectly fair, and that as loa? as
Columbia river boats come here to
spread their nets, they, sieu!u pay a
-share of t-hs expense of securing open
river fishing privileges in this dis
trict. The assessment this year will
be collected before the season opens,
and it is believed that as all boats
will be asked to pay the same amount
no troub'e will result in securing the
; payments.
Boat3 that refuse to bear their fair
, share of the expense necessary to
I maintain a representative at Salem
I will be perhaps deprived of certain
; privileges on the fishing grounds, but
; as the assessment will be absolutely
I the same at all, it is not believed that
I any will balk at the s ight assess
