TAX GAIN PAYS
(Continued from Page 1.)
8essment, will also gain about a third
more in taxes. Also the estimates so
far made show that the Weyerhauser
cruise, which the county has accept
ed, and which it has obtained "frea,"
has been grossly under the actual
amount of timber. In only one in
stance was the value of timber in a
section found more according to the
Weyerhauser cruise than according to
the county cruise. In all other cases
the county estimate has been far in
excess of that furnished by the tim
ber people. Often times the county
cruiser has found timber in a certain
section ten times as valuable as ths
estimate given by the Weyerhauser
people.
Following are some of the values
by the Weyerhauser cruise and the
values for the same areas of timber
as furnished Assessor Jack by the
county cruiser now at work. The dif
ference is startling in fact it is
shown that the imber company's es
timate, as given the county, is just
about' a sixth of the value as estimat
ed by the county itself:

the 16-mill tax alone on this gain will
amount to $1,478.64. Deducting from
this the $590.80 which the cruising of
the 7,385 acres covered by these fig
ures has cost, the county's direct gain
is seen to be $887.84.

ADMISSION
GLADSTONE GAINS
$5 IN ONE NIGHT
Gladstone, for various reasons, has
had no chief of police for some weeks.
As the principal duty of the chief in
this quiet and peaceful, thougn pro
gressive, city consists in' keeping the
livestock straightened out, his loss
has not been greatly felt. However,
as every well-managed community
ought to have a police force, Glad
stone could not long go without such
a department, and Monday evening
the council confirmed Mayor Cross's
appointments of W. H. Miller as chief
and Percy Cross as force. -
Tuesday morning the new depart
ment found its hands full, and mostly
because of the activityv-of Ben Hay
hurst, the manager of the Home Tele
phone company's outfit in Oregon
City. Mr. Hayhurst has observed the
manner in which higher officers of
his company have been assisted by
and have assisted officers in the'cases
growing out of the Oswego strike riot,
and Monday, after council meeting, he
determined to provide a little work
for Gladstone's new police depart
ment.. iwv WavViiirsf has. Murine the in
terim of no-police-chief, been bothered
f i. .. i . 1, ! ,i cr ,m Tiiia
. lawn at night. Monday evening he
. went" out and corralled ten bovines
i and drove them down to the Glad
stone city pound. Then he slumbered
, peacefully. Bright and early Tuesday
' morning the owners of the ten cows
went out to gather the breakfast milk,
and discovered that all their bossies
had been captured. Promptly they
fell upon the new police force. Chief
Miliar was snmp.what surprised, and
called up the balance of his depart
i ment to know why he had been so
: active. The force. itself said it had
slept quietly all night, and supposed
, the chief had gathered in the bovines,.
Finally the real busy party was dis
covered. i It then occurred to the new police
force that as long as the cows were
legallv and regularly in the pound
! they might as well be treated as city
' captures, and owners were informed
that their animals would be restored
upon payment of the 50 cents poumi
charges provided by the ordinances.
This is why Gladstone is now five
dollars richer than it was. Mir. Hay
hurst is quite popular with the new
police force, but is not such a favor
ite with the owners of domesticated
livestock.
WILSONS CELEBRATE
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 24.
The President and Mrs. Wilson today
celebrated their twenty-eighth wed
ding anniversary, with several rela
tives and intimate friends as their
guests. They were married in Savan
nah, Ga., June 25, 1885. Before her
marriage Mrs. Wilson was Miss Ellen
L-quise Axson. Her home was in
Rome, Ga." The year of the Wilson
Axson union synchronized with Mr.
Wilson's acceptance of a professor
ship at Bryn Mawr. college where, as
the wife of the young educator, Mrs.
Wilson attracted much attention by
reason of her ready wit and agreeable
manners.

CANAL ARCH
For the reason that every citizen
of the Northwest is vitally interested
in the completion of the Panama Can
al, the management of the coming
Chautauqua has secured a special lec
turer to tell of that most interesting
engineering feat of the age. Fred
erick Vining Fisher, for a long time
intimately connected with canal work,
is to deliver this lecture on the even
ing of July 11th.
.Mr. Fisher is a well-known lecturer
and will illustrate his talk with over
250 magnificient views of the work on
the canal. Mr. Fisher will also tell
of the plans for the coming fair .at
San Francisco, to be held in celebra
tion of the completion of the canal.
AT
Li
I
Within a few days a call for a spe
cial meeting of the taxpayers of the
Oregon City, school district will be
made for the purpose of authorizing a
special tax levy to cover the cost of
the construction of a 2-room addition
to the Barclay school building. The
meeting will probably be held Mon
day evening, July 7, at the courthouse.
Increase in the number of pupils of
the Oregon City public schools makes
it advisable, if not altogether neces
sary, to construct a addition to the
Barclay building, and the board of ed
ucation will ask the people of the dis
trict to authorize a special tax levy
for the purpose of covering the cost
of construction. The expense - is
roughly estimated at $3,000, which
would include a heating system to
care for the addition as the present
heating system at the Barclay build
ing is jio more than adequate to heat
the main structure.
For many years the overflow of
grade pupils from the Barclay and
Eastham building has been placed in
a make-shift room in the gymnasium
on the Barclay grounds, but the gym
nasium is out of repair and consider
able expense would have to be incur
red in placing the old structure in
anything like first class condition, and
then, at best, it would be no more
than a temporary affair, never having
been designed nor intended for use as
as chool building.
About five years ago a 4-room addi
tion was added to the Eastham build
ing, and it was thought this would
care for the grades for many years,
but the increase has exceeded the ex
pectations of the directors who are
now right up against the problem of
providing adequate and suitable quar
ters for the grade pupils. If tie
authorities would attempt to send pu
pils from the down town sections to
the Eastham building, located near
the head of the Seventh street hill,
there would probably be a righteous
howl of indignation.
The members of the board of educa
tion spent nearly four hours Sunday
morning In the driving rain making
an inspection of the three school
buildings to determine what repairs
will have to be made during the sum
mer vacation. They found most of the
repairs needed to be of a minor char
acter, entailing little expense, except
the new toilets that are to be installed
at both the Eastham and Barclay
buildings.
The board., of directors Tuesday
night elected Mrs. Florence R. Brew
er, of Vancouver, Wash., a teacher in
the primary grades. Her election
completes the corps of grade teachers,
leaving vacant only the position of in
structor in languages at the high
school.
MILLSBURG PEOPLE
TO HOLD MEETING
The rasidents of the proposed new
city of Millsburg, on the west side,
will hold a meeting in Willamette hall
on M!ain street, .Oregon City, Friday
evening, June 27th. . The meeting will
be called at eight o'clock, and it is
expected that all legal voters, both
men and women, will be present. '-
A petition has been received by the
committee in charge of incorporation,
signed by 129 residents of the propos
ed city asking that they- name be
changed. A twothrids vote of these
present will be necessary to recon
sider the matter, and only' legal resi
dent voters will be allowed to vot3
on re-oonsideration.
At the last session of the legisla
ture a law was passed making it
necessary for people to reside ninety
days in the district proposed to be in
corporated before they have the right
of franchise therein.
Matter of boundary lines will final
ly be decided upon and the incorpora
tion papers signed, that all may be in
readiness to present to the county
court at meeting of July 2nd.

AT 1915 FAIR
The above picture is that of the
Canal Triumphal Arch, which will
mark the gateway to the exposition.
Not only people interested in the can
al should hear this lecture, but also
those planning on attending the fair
in 1915. The lecture will treat both
subjects in an able manner.
Aside from the almost superhuman
effort in the construction of the can
al, the place it will fill in the com
mercial relations of the world will be
of utmost importance. To the people
of California, Washington and Ore
gon will come the quickest and most
beneficial results. Tuesday evening,
July 11th will therefore be a tpcial
"western" evening.
CANBY TO BECOME
BIG HONEY MART?
The first carload of honey bees ever
shipped into Oregon has just reached
Canby and will be taken to an apiary
in the foothills west of Molalla. The
bees are the property of M. J. and G.
R. Lee, of Canby, and comprise 1000
stands of the Caucasian variety, the
honey gatherers that date their line
age back to the land of Caanan.
Orchardists believe that bees are
the best aids to pollenation, therefore
the Lee Brothers have planned a
traveling apiary for the Spring of
River and other portions of the state
are in bloom the bees will be shipped
to various points and set to work
making a crop of honey and aiding
In loading the trees with fruit
M. J. Lee figures on shipping 50
tons of honey next , season, or three
carloads. .

STRAWBERRY DAYS
ARE ABOUT GONE
Good Strawberries are now beins
quoted as high as $1.35 a crate, and
berries that are not so good are to
had as low as 60 cents cents a crate.
In between these figures there are
some very eatable grades to be pick
ed up by lucky buyers, but the straw
tberry season is about over for the
present, and the lucious fruit will no'
be a feature of the market until the
second crop comes out Berries will
probably be on the local market for
ten day3 or two weeks more, but their
quality will be doubtful, and luck will
figure largely in the buying.
Puget Sound is offering in Oregon
markets a fine grade of celery that is
being quoted at $1.25 per dozen
bunches. Together with an ample
supply of home grown lettuce, rad
ishes and green onions, all of them
to be had at low prices, lovers of salad
should be happy.
String beans are being offered as
low as five cents a pound, owing to
the over supply of offerings. Green
peas are plentiful, reasonable in price
and good in quality. New potatoes
are still holding at medium prices,
ranging between two and three cents
a pound.
The egg market is holding firm in
the neighborhood of 25 cents for se
lected stock. Good eggs can be had
at 22 cents.

CHICAGO, 111., June 24. A .. oon- held in the United States, assembled
gress of alienists and neurologists, in Chicago today for a three days' ses
the first large gathering of its kind sion.
The Stuff Successful Men Are Made of
The International Correspondence Schools are NOT closed in
summer. All of our truly ambitious students those who think more
about the increased salaries their studies will qualify them to earn,
than of the imaginary discomforts of summer study devote a part of
each week to their studies all summer. -
A student who will only study in cold weather punishes himself.
Why? Because he takes two or three times as long, in preparing him
self to earn more money, as the student who studies from a half hour
to an hour per day all the year round. We have enough letters on file
to make sevaral vary large books, the general purport of which is:
"Oh, if I had on!y taken up that Course when I first wrote you about
it! I have just missed a fine position, at largely. increased wages, be
cause I wasn't prepared to fill it. I lacked just the special knowledge
I could have had from the Course." The writers of these letters never,
have to be coaxed to study in summer NOW. They knew what delay
costs. Why not profit by THEIR experience, instead of taking the
same bitter medicine yourself? " .
Persons that suffer most from the heat are those that have noth
ing else to occupy their thoughts. A man who is interested in his
studies doesn't know how hot it is. He has no time to fret about the
weather. He is looking ahead a few months to the time when he can
demand advancement in position and salary, because his special educa
tion will have made , his services of more value to hia employer. It is
no harder to read an Instruction Paper in summer than to read a news
paper. How many summer days are hot enough to prevent you from
reading the daily news?
The man who promises himself that he will enroll next fall is
only trying to deceive his conscience. He may not know it, but he
is weakening his will-power, and it is will-power power to do what
one knows he must do to succeed that makes the man. A man of
weak will one who will study some day, but not now will always
be down in the world; always in "hard luck," frequently out of work,
and when employed, it will always be at low wages. He knows that a
. knowledge of certain subjects will fit him to earn more; yet he stills
his conscience by promising to start later. Such a man isn't truly am
bitious. He is one of the kind that always does the hard, menial work,
and draws small pay all his life. Are YOU one of that kind. Are YOU
truly ambitious to earn more and make something of yourself? If you
wont study in summer you are NOT. If you prefer to fret about hoc
weather, rather than forget it by studying, you are NOT.
The dangerous habit of "putting off" has ruined the lives of mora
promising young men than drunkenness. . It is so easy to say "yes,
it's what I need; I'll start tomorrow next week some other time."
The difference between the man that makes a failure of life and the
man that succeeds is simply this: The failure is going to begin 'tomor
row;" the success begins today. -
The men who ."get there'' are those that study for self-improvement
in summer, or whenever they have time. They don't let the
weather keep them in inferior posiions, at small wages. They don't
make excuses to themselves when they ought to be up and doing.
They don't work for wages barely enough to keep soul and body to
gether either.
