BUILDER OF BOATS
If
J. H. Johnston, now a rancher at
Redland, but known throughout the
Northwest as a civil engineer and
marine architect, was an Oregon City
visitor Wednesday. Mr. Johnston re
ported that crops in the Redland sec
tion were promising, and that devel
opment was everywhere to be ob
served. As a designer of fast vessels Mr.
Johnston has established an enviable
reputation for himself. Among the
most notable of hi3 creations are the
Bailey Gatzert, the Telephone and
the Flyer. The first vessel, remodel
led and enlarged, is now in service
upon the Columbia, and carries thous
ands of tourists along the scenic wa
ter highway every year.
The Telephone and the Flyer are
now both in service between Seattle,
and Everett, having made the run to
Puget Sound under their own power,
which is taken as certain proof of
their stanchness. The Telephone
was for many years the fastest vessel
on the Pacific coast, and though ' a
stern-wheeler proved the better of
many larger vessels that tried con
clusions with her.
The Flyer, for many years on the
run between Tacoma and Seattle, is
famous throughout the maritime
world as a vessel that has more mile
age to her credit than any other craft
still in service. Milking four runs a
day between the two leading cities of
the Sound, year in and year out, the
Flyer on her eight daily 36-mile trips
piled up a total logged distance ot
over three times round the globe. In
her day she was also one of the fast
est steamers on the coast. Though
built in 1895, the steamer is still in
daily passenger service, and except
for alterations in her cabin and the
change of her boilers from coal to oil
feed, is practically as she was de
signed by Mr. Johnston.
HAS ECHO III EAST
CHICAGO, 111., May 28. Detectives
believe that the arrest of Michael J.
Flanagan, Charles O'Leary and Wil
liam J. Lawlor, who were given a pre
liminary hearing in court today on
charges of being connected with the
robbery of the New Westminster, B.
C, branch of the Bank of Montreal,
will ultimately lead to a clearing up
of the mystery of the great robbery
and the recovery of much of the loot.
Flanagan, who is a Chicago saloon
keeper, is alleged to have had thous
ands of dollars' worth of tha stolen
bills in his possession and to have
disposed of many of them through
O'Leary and Lawlor.
The robbery of the New Westmins
ter bank occurred on September 14,
i911, and was one of the most re
markable thefts of its kind in recent
years. Notes and gold amounting to
about $375,000 were stolen. The rob
bers bound the watchman, dynamited
the vaults and fled in an automobile,
"-finding they had more loot than they
could carry they hid $24,000 beneath
a wooden sidewalk in the city.
On January 12, 1912, John McNa
mara, known as "Australian Mack,"
was arrested in New York and after
a fourteen months' fight against ex
tradition was returned to New West
minister where he and four alleged
confederates are awaiting trial. It is
believed that the Chicago arrests will
lead to the capture of another mem
ber of the band whom is known to be
at large and who is believed to have
possession of the bulk of the stolen
money.

A FRAUD
DISCOVERED
By DAVID WALTER CHURCH
Rose Thornton and 1 were school
mates and chums. I say chums be
cause we were very young and at that
time our friendship had not ripened
into love. " Rose's mother died when
she was a child, and her father married
again. The love of her mother and her
father's second marriage made the poor
girl's life a very unhappy one.
Her stepmother was a selfish, crafty
woman who treated her as if she were
In the way, and I am not sure but
that If she could have got rid of her
without Injury to herself she would
have done it. Mr. Thornton himself
had cause te regret the step he had
taken in marrying the woman, and
there was a perpetual quarrel going
en between husband and wife. Rose
would have gone to live somewhere else
had not her father begged her to stay
with him.
Doubtless Rose's making a confldaat
of me and my sympathy drew us. to
gether and made lovers rather than
friends of us. Mr. Thornton was
worth something like a hundred thou
sand dollars, a part of which would
belong to his daughter after his death,
provided the stepmother didn't beat her
out of it. Rose repeated certain con
versations she had had with her father
on the subject of the Inheritance, from
which I Inferred that nothing deterred
him from leaving all his property to
Rose but the fear that his wife would
break the will. He preferred to let the
law divide his property since it would
give his widow a third and his daugh
ter two-thirds. This plan seemed safer
than any, other.
When Rose was nineteen and I twen
ty-two her stepmother treated her so
inhumanly that she was obliged to
leave the house, which she did with
her father's reluctant consent Rose
thought that he would apply for a di
vorce were it not for the fact that he
had no cause which would come within
the law, and his wife took care to give
him no such cause. Any such attempt
on his part would undoubtedly cost him
dear.
Rose and I would have been married
but for the fact that I had been un
lucky In the business positions I had
occupied. Two different firms in whose
service I was rising failed successive
ly. I was now with the third, the
agent of paper mills, and just getting
a hold on the good will of my employ
ers. So Rose went to live with an
aunt till I could take care of her.
The position she occupied with ref
erence to her stepmother was very ir
ritating to me since it was so wearing
upon my sweetheart I longed to take
some sort of vengeance on the "old
cat" as I called her, but could do noth
ing in the premises. I could prepare
myself to give Rose what Mrs. Thern-
ton deprived her of, and that was all.
However, Providence, fate or whatever
we choose to call it put me in a way
to aid the dear girl far beyond any
thing that could have been accom
plished by my own efforts.
Mr. Thornton died very suddenly. I
believed that his wife helped him out
of the flesh and expected her to pro
duce a will leaving her all or the bulk
of his property. But when no will was
found I believed 1 had misjudged her
and concluded that her husband had
adhered to bis intention not to make a
will. Several months passed, during
which the courts were engaged In set
tling the estate, and Rose and I were
congratulating ourselves that she would
receive two-thirds of the estate or be
tween $60,000 and $70,000.
Then all of a sudden the widow pro
duced a will executed several years be
fore her husband's death, leaving all
the property to her except some swamp
land of no value to Rose.' I believed
the moment I heard of this will that
there was fraud in it and advised Rose
to contest it I got a lawyer to take
the case, but he said that if it was a
forgery the woman had done It so
cleverly that there was no hope of
proving her guilty. Rose, who dreaded
and feared her stepmother, was op
posed to taking any legal steps in the
matter. Before giving It up I was de
termined to examine the will and went
to the court for the purpose.
Persons acquire habits from their
dally business life that they practice
unconsciously outside of It In the pa
per business on taking up a sample I
always rubbed it between my thumb
ant! finger to learn its texture, then
held it up to the li;.! : to see the water
lines. I had no sooner touched the one
and seen the other than I recognized
the paper on which the will was writ
tenit was not on a printed form as
some that had passed through my
bands in a business way. Then I re
membered It as some paper manufac
tured by a company which my firm
represented. From this I stepped to a
certainty that it had been consigned
to us as just manufactured when I bad
first bandied it The will was dated
three years before, written on paper
made within a year. Fraud was evi
dent. Accompanied by my lawyer I called
on the forger of the will and proved to
her that we could send her to state
prison for a term of years. This broke
her down. I had long been hungry for
revenge upon her on Rose's behalf and
now was merciless. I gave her a choice
of turning over the whole estate to
Rose or going to the penitentiary.
She chose the former course.
Rose and I celebrated our wedding
under very happy circumstances. Rose
wished to give up to her stepmother
her widow's third, but I put my foot
resolutely down on such magnanimity.

Woman's World
Mrs. James Speyer
to Help Fight Cancer.
MBS. JAMES SPEYER.
A number of prominent women are
active in the campaign that is being
organized to make a national fight
against that dread disease, cancer.
Experts claim that while tuberculosis
is decreasing, . qancer is increasing.
At a recent meeting in New York
prominent men and women discussed
ways and means of carrying on the
work. . . .
It is hoped to establish headquarters
and carry on the work through an or
ganization as In the case of the Na
tional Association For the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis.
The campaign of education by the
new organization will include the pub
lication of articles in newspapers and
magazines, distribution of pamphlets
and seeking of co-operation by wom
en's clubs, special instruction in
nurses' training schools and lectures
before mothers' clubs and groups of
nurses and physicians.
Among the prominent women 'who
have taken up this work is Mrs. James
Speyer, wife of the New York banker.
She has long been noted for her splen
did humanitarianism and for her in
telligent and enthusiastic work in be
half of those reforms in which she is
interested. Mrs. Speyer is perhaps the
most distinguished woman advocate
of -a more enlightened and humane at
titude In our treatment of dumb ani
mals. .
Mrs. Speyer is said tohave a won
derful head for figures. At; least so
one might judge from the fact that she
always has accurate statistics at her
tongue's end about any one of the dif
ferent organizations in which she is
interested and that she Is treasurer of
St. Mary's Free Hospital For Chil
dren, of the Girls' Athletic league, of
the Women's Auxiliary of the Satur
day and Sunday Hospital association
and has been treasurer for twenty-nine
years of the Irene club, an organiza
tion of working girls established In
New York by Miss Grace Dodge, which
has become the mother club of innu
merable working girls' "friendly asso
ciations," settlement classes and claims
to be part sponsor of the Manhattan
Trade school.
Mrs. Speyer"s personality bespeaks
intense activity. She is of slight, wiry
build, has quck, sharp eyes and a
very mobile face, with which she en
livens her conversation.
Among others actively Interested in
the proposed anti-cancer campaign are
Mrs. Russell Sage, Mrs. Frederick W.
Vanderbilt, Mrs. H. Winthrop Gray,
Mrs. 'Robert W. De Forest, Mrs. F. F.
Thompson, Miss Laura Post, Mrs. Rob
ert G. Mead, Mrs. E. R. Hewitt presi
dent of the "Women's Municipal league;
Mrs. Robert C. Black, Mrs. George C
Clark and Mrs. V. Everit Macy.
Philosophy of Life.
Determine once for all that you are
never going to pity yourself. You are
to take things as they come. You will
not whine because you have no chance,
but will make the best of whatever
happens. ' You will adjust yourself to
events and not complain because you
cannot have things as you would like
them.
Decide that you will be uniformly
cheerful. You will put away all sulk
ing, gloom and morbidness as being
poison. You will steadily cultivate
brightness and cheer as a habit, says
Dr. Frank Crane In "Woman's World.
You can do this. What happens to
you has nothing to do with the case.
It all depends upon you.
Resolve to cultivate courage. Say to
yourself that you will not be afraid,
whatever comes along. The coward
never did amount to anything. It Is
by being afraid that people become
low, vile weaklings. All goodness is a
form of moral courage.
Resolve also to be honest with your
self and with the world, that you will
never seek to have any merit you do
not possess nor take any money you
have not earned nor desire praise
when you do not deserve it

ROSE SHOW DECORATIONS
ONLY TO BE IN NEW HUES
Since the announcement was made
that he Oregon City Rose society
had decided to change the colors for
decorations in connection with , the
rose show from pink and green to
red, white and blue, there has arisen
some confusion as to just how exten
sive this change was to be. Members
of the Rose society wish to announce
that only the color scheme for the
decorations was changed, and that
the formal colors of the society itself
remain unchanged. It was thought
better to utilize the national colors in
general decoration, as a brighter ef-
lect could thus be bained.
There will be a frieetinar of tho
Rose society Friday evening at eight

MUSICAL COMEDY
TO RULE AT STAR
Opening tonight, the Frank Rich
company will present at the Star
theatre the clean and sparkling musi
cal comedy 'The Girl at the Canaret."
Twenty-one people are included in
the cast, and the stage settings are
elaborate in coloring and beautiful
with many novel electrical effects.
Manager Murphy, of the popular play
house, assures his patrons that, th-3
production is one of the most com
plete ever brought to this city, anil
feels a just pride in the securing of
tha big company.
"The Girl in the Cabaret" is a mix
ture of fun and frolic, pretty girls
and music. Sprightly comedy is the
ruling feature, and the two principal
comedians have a line of patter that
is seldom heard outside of a Weber
Fields production. Aside from this,
there will be a number of dances, in
whicn grace, beauty and artistic color
scheming will be combined to give
the audience satisfaction; while tha
"Sunshine Girls," as the chorus is
known, will be found all that could
be desired. The plot of the musical
comedy deals with the troubles of
the modern cabaret proprietor, ancl
while never burdensome, is sufficient
ly connected to provide a good back
ground for the songs and dances.
Particular care has been taken b7
Manager Murphy that there shall be
no suggestion of impropriety in the
numbers offered, and the lines have
all been carefully reviewed, so that
the reputation of the Star for bright
and clean productions may be main
tained. This does not mean that
"Che Girl in the Cabaret" will be by
any means dulL however, in fact it
will oe found to be a genuine example
of clean, spontaneous, entertaining
American humor.
