Last week Mr. Wess inger paid Oregon City a flying visit in fact he flew through the busi ness section of the city at a rate of speed said to be greatly in excess of that provided by law. Owing to the fact that Mr. Wess inger is said not to have violated the state speed law, the limit of which is 25 miles an hour, local officials can not have him arrested on a state war rant. A city warrant is not good in Portland, and then there is some dif ficulty in obtaining a complainant who can reliably swear as to Mr. Wessinger's speed. This is the prob lem that is worrying the city attorney and the chief; but they hope to solve it successfully before long. OREGON CITY BABE STOLEN BY TRAMP MARSHFIELD, Or., June 5. The 15-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Smith, formerly of Oregon City, was found early this morning ;n the woods about a mile and a half distant from the home. ' The child was unharmed. It is believed the child was carried into the woods and left there by a half-witted tramp named Bill Miller, who is now in custody. Miller had been refused food by Mrs. Smith. He denies his guilt, but is recognized as the man who visited the Smith home. Nearly 300 men had been engaged in the search. D. L. Stanley, neighbor, who found the baby, says he was guided to the spot by a falling star. The child was lost since yesterday afternoon. BANQUET IS.

HEILIG THEATRE, JUNE 6 AND 7 A DONNA." SALOON IS LURE - TO THIRSTY AUTO A bucking automobile cavorted mer rily over the sidewalk on Main street Thursday afternoon, tore a brick or two out of the Noble block as if de sirous of getting into Louis Noble's refreshment oasis to quench its thirst, and then subsided alongside the building without materially in juring itself or its occupants. While on its rampage, however, the ma chine created considerable excite ment. Mrs. C. G. Huntley was driving the car, taking lessons in managing the vehicle, at the time. She had done so well earlier in the day that the ex perienced chauffeur who was with her decided that she could safely nav igate the traffic maze on Main strset, and gave her the wheel. Just before the machine started to "cut up" a stretch of wet pavement was reached and the auto began to skid. Mrs. Huntley did her best to get the car in control, but the steering gear cramped, and the heavy machine crashed into the sidewalk, climbed over the curb, and butted into the Noble building. Mrs. Huntley was considerably jarred, but was unhurt, and the car showed no serious effects of its ad venture. GLADSTONE WILL OIL ITS OWN HIGHWAYS The city of Gladstone has determin ed to erect and maintain a road-oiling plant of its own, and will shortly pur chase oil and water sprinklers, which will be used upon its streets and road ways.

FOR LOCAL TALENT Under the direction of Anna Sara Bock, the King's Daughters of St. Paul's Episcopal church will preseut on June 17 and 18 a musical comedy entitled "The Clackamas County Fair." The play will reproduce the old-fashioned county fair with all its merriment and features, and between 150 and 200 people will take part in the production. Incidental to the action of the com edy over 100 children will participate m choruses and drills, while a group of 50 young women and men will form the regular chorus. Elaborate stage settings will be provided, and though none but home talen will ap pear, it is expected that the sparkl ing show will compare favorably with professional productions. There will be about 25 leading char acters in the play, and as the subject and plot of the comedy afford many opportunities for striking character work and for the interjection of much local humor, it is generally felt that the performances will be successful in every way. There will be a maze of beautiful costumes used in the several dances and chorus numbers, and a thoroughly enjoyable evening's entertainment is promised. Rehear sals commenced Wednesday."

Horeb, was arraigned in court today for trial on an indictment recently returned against him on charges made by a young woman who was a member of his congregation. Rev.
