NEW POSTOFF1CE
TO ASK ATTORNEY FOR REPORT
Conditions to be Investigated by Of
ficial When he Arrives to At
tend Session of Rural
Letter Carriers
When Paul E. Keyser, 'attorney for
the TTnited States Postal service, gets
into Oregon City to attend the state
convention of Rural Letter Carriers
here on the last of the month, he will
be waylaid by members of the Com
mercial club who want to explain to
him why there ought to be a new post
office building here.
The members of the club - balieve
that the city has outgrown its present
postal facilities. They think that the
time has now come when the govern
ment should place its postoffice here
in a new building and that an appro
priation of several thousand dollars
should be made to cover ' the cost of
a new office. They argue that the
fores is now crowded into quarters
that are far too small to effeciently
handle the business of a town of Ore
gon City's population and that some
thing should be done to provide bet
ter facilities for the mail here.
The club will take the matter up
with the attorney when he comes to
attend the annual convention of the
crarisrs. He will then be asked to in
vestigate the conditions here and to
mske a report to the proper officials
on what he finds. The club feels
that his report will be such that
something will result for the better
ment of the government facilities in
the community and that the town will,
eventually, receive an appropriation
for a larger and better equipped build
ing. MOTHER SAVES GIRL
FROM WATERY GRAVE
EUGENE, Or., Aug. 22. Rushing
intd the swift current of the Willam
ette river to her armpits, Mrs. E. C.
Welch fought for several minutes to
rescue her 19-year-old daughter from
the clutches of her drowning husband.
Sitting on the bank, she saw her hus
band suddenly begin to drag the
daughter, Eva Welch, whom he was
teaching to swim, out into the deep
current. Three times she saw her
sink. She pushed out a board, but
the girl was unable to grasp it. Then
she herself plunged in, and was suc
cessful, just as she reached the last
step she could have taken and still
retained her feet.
E. C. Welch probably died of heart
failure rather than by drowning. He
was teaching the daughter to swim
near the milling district. Suddenly,
without a cry or struggle, he began
dragging the girl to the swift deep
water. After the mother reached the
girl she called for help.
SEQUEL TO ARREST
. IS HEARD IN COURT
The justice court Friday heard an
echo of the complaint brought by L.
Vierhus against B. Goldberg, charging
petty larcency and the conducting of
a commission house without a state
license, when Goldberg brought suit
against Vierhus for J104.74 which he
alleges is due.
The two men were in the commis
sion house together for a time with
Goldberg as the owner and operator.
Vierhus filed complaints against his
former employer upon which the lat-
. ter was arrested under the" new law
that requires commission men to take
out a license from the state before
opening for business.
The complaint of Goldberg against
Vierhus Friday was a sequel to those
that had already been filed.

Clergymen, a church woman and two

Municipal court yesterday upon Rev.
Henry W. Kuhlman, a Tillamook min
ister accused of violating the mashing
ordinance and found - guilty. Then
they counseled mercy, and the court

The defendant said he had been do

He had not gone far when he was
accosted by a woman of the streets

stress upon the fact that he had 65
cents in his pocket at the time.
Going a little farther, he saw two
men come out of a saloon under the

BOOSTER EOR GOOD
IS
Charles W. Thatcher, one of the
strongest good roads experts in the
country, will speak in the Commercial
club rooms to every lover of better
highways, "Wednesday August 27.
Through Secretary Freytag, the club
has arranged for the reception of the
lecturer when he arrives and has
planned the meeting with the idea
that it will be the largest of the kind
that has ever been held in this sec
tion of the state.
Though other routes have been sug
gested, he favors the one that will
pass through Oregon City when the
Lincoln and Washington National
Highway is constructed. He believes
that the town which has played such
an important part in the history of the
early Oregon and which for many
years was the end of the old Oregon
trail should be touched by the great
highways on their way to Portland
and Seattle.
Colonel T!!atcher is known all over
the West a,i one of the most enthusi
astic boosters for good roads in the
country and he has spent about 20
years of hie life travelling from place
to place In the interest of better road
building. Every place that he has
stopped has furnished him with a
large crowd of " boosters for better
highways and his lectures and lessons
have always ien followed by an im
petus in road building.
All of the road supervisors, automo
bilists, farmers, and every other per
son or class of persons interested In
the construction of highways that are
examples of road building are invited
to the lecture at 2:30 o'clock Wednes
day afternoon. It is also probable
that another meeting will be arranged
for the same evening in order to give
more persons the opportunity- to hear
the noted speaker tell what a road
ought to be. ' .

GLADSTONE WANTS
ITS BRIDGE BIGGER
Negotiations will be opened with
the new electric company that is
planning a line through this section of
the state to assist in the construction
of a bridge over the Clackamas river
near Gladstone when that company
reaches the point and decides to build
a bridge for its own use.
At a meeting of the Gladstone Com
mercial club, the members decided to
ask the company to build the bridge
wide onough for wagons' while it was
constructing one for its own cars. It
is planned, in this way to do away
with the necessity of building two
bridges in the same neighborhood as
the people of Gladstone feel that they
will soon have to have a new wagou
bridge over the river at that point.
The club also elected the following
officers for the year: ,'H. E. Williams,
president; -F A. Burdon, - vice-president;
Hugh Hall, secretary;-W., H.
Miller, treasurer; Henry Sterbig, ser
geant at arms. ,

to support the family and that he had
to advance the- money for family nec
essi ies. He mentions through the
complaint that the things for which he
paid the money were actually neces-
sir: for r.ae support of the family ana
he asks for a judgment that will re
pay him tbe money that he has ex

PURSUES GIRL-
IS
CLIFFORD ANDERSON CAUGHT BY
POLICE AFTER TORMENT
ING MISS STEELE
BELIEVES HE HAS "PEEPING TOM"
Neighborhood on Hill Bothered by
Men Looking Into Windows at -All
Hours of Night
Police Busy
Clifford Anderson, 26 years old and
from Australia, was arrested by Chief
Ed Shaw, of the police department
Friday, following his pursuit of a pret
ty girl, Miss Steele, from the Sixteenth
street neighborhood Jo the city until
she had to run into the ice house for
protection.
According to the story that the girl
told to the officer, he had followed
her for-a number of blocks and that
he. had tormented her all of the way
up the street. She finally 'became
frightened by his pursuit and ran into
the ice house where she appealed to
R. B. Cox for help. He immediately
took her into the building, ordered
Anderson away from the place, and
sent in a hurry call for police protec
tion. ,
Denies Charge
Anderson, in the city jail Friday af
ternoon, denied that he had ever fol
lowed any girl or that he had annoyed
her in any way.- He disclaims all
knowledge of the affair and says that
he cannot remember even the circum
stances under which he was arrested.
- The chief says, however, that when
he arrived at the ice house, Anderson
was standing on the curb looking into
the window of the building where the
girl had gone for help and that he
never left the place when the officer
approached.
As the girl lived in the neighbor
hood where the "window peepers"
have been at work for the last few
days, the chief thinks that he has
found one of them in Anderson. The
man claims to be a teamster and said
that he had conae to the city looking
for work,' that he had been in Portland
for awhi'e and had been working
around through ' various parts of the
state for a number of weeks.
"Window peepers" have been mak
ing life miserable for the last few
nights for the residents around Six
teenth street on the hill. Several
complaints have been coming into the
station that the neighborhood has been
aroused by the presence of the peepers
and that -they have appeared at vari
ous houses at ail hours of the night.
Whether the man now under arrest
is the one that has been giving this
trouble to the people on the hill, is
not yet certain. So numerous have
been the complaints to the police,
however, that the case promises to
rival that of "Peeping Tom" who got
into print years ago for his proclivit
ies along that line. The chief proposes
to keep a man on the watch until he
finds out who is responsible for the
disturbance in the neightborhood and
to then prosecute him to the limit.

Are Troublesome
"I herd there was going to have
a night watch in Cansas City.
Well, I will let you no there will
.be no night watchman. If you do,
I will tell the truth. We will shoot
the first man that is watch man.
It will take 365 watch man a year
for there will not be but one man -
for ever night. One man will only
last one night in Cansas City.
We will git you, deafy," letter to
Mr. Willeby.
Theatening letters warning the of
ficers that the first men who are
placed on duty in Ihe Kansas City dis
trict will be killed have been received
by the chief of police, Ed Shaw.
- Several men who are known to be
applicants for the job of night police
man in the district around Sixteenth
street have been sent these letters and
turned them over to the chief. The
letters are unsigned and declare that
the writer, with others of his ilk, will
shoot the first men who are placed on
duty there and that they will kill
the others as rapidly as the chief as
signs them to that beat.
Written on Scratch Paper
The letters are written on -scratch
paper in an almost illegible scrawl and
are not signed. They will be turned
over by the chief to the postal inspect
ors for investigation and, if possible,
the sender will be arrested and prose
cuted for using the mails for such pur
poses. Under the federal laws, the
sending of threatening letters through
the mails is a penitentiary offense and
the government officers will use ev
ery means to discover the writer and
to prosecute him to the limit of the
law. j v
Only the men who have been appli
cants for the position in the Sixteenth
street district have received the let
ters, as far as is now known. The
writer is evidently some one who
knows these men personally for he
has referred to one of them by name
and has mailed the letters in the Ore
gon City postoff ice.
Within a few days, the government
investigations into the case will begin
and the postal inspectors will co-operate
with the police department in un
earthing the writer and arresting him
for the violation of he federal postal
laws.
KneW Local Conditions
The officers presume that the send
er of the threatening letters knows lo
cal conditions rather well and that he
knew the chief had planned to place
a man in the territory on the hill.
Within the last few days, there have
come to headquarters numerous com
plaints about "window peepers" in
festing the neighborhood. So far, the
"peepers" have managed to get away
before the residents could notify the
police and have done nothing more
than to frighten them by their pres
ence in that section of the city. The
police chief has been on the look-out
for suspects and believes it possible
that in the arrest of Clifford Anderson
Friday he has one of the men who
have been giving trouble in that por
tidn of the city.
