When Completed Mod
ern Devices Used
Repairs and extensions in the
Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper com
pany's plants are under way and,
when completed, will make the plans
thoroughly modern and up-to-date.
The prasent improvements will be
finished in about 10 days, but they
form only one in a series of changes
and additions that will probably cover
a period of a year. At present a new
mill flume is being built, the water
wheals are being overhauled, tae ma
chine room renovated and the entire
plant being changed and altered in a
way that aims toward greater effic
ency and increased output.
Every modern device that can be
brought to practical use i3 being in
stalled, and plans are being made' for
still more sweeping changes in the fu
ture. There will be no new machines
put in, but, it is thought, that the im
provements will materially increase
the output.
The mill was established about 24
years ago since; since then has ex
panded until now it owns three mils,
making this concernvone of the larg
est paper manufactures on the coast.
In its two plants in this city, this
company employs more than 225 per
sons, making what is considered one
of the most important factors in the
local business life.
PLANS ARE LAID FOR
BETTER SCHOOL WORK
The X.' L. club of Gladstone, will
open its season of winter work Friday
"at 2:30 o'clock at the Gladstone
school house, by holding its annual
election. The club has lately become
connected with the Parents Teachers'
club of Portland, and through th3 co
operation with the larger body, it is
thought that additional good can . be
done.
The club was organized a number
of years ago for the purpose of bring
ing the parents and teachers of the
town together for the benefit of tie
students. Talks and lectures were
given by prominent authorities from
all parts of the northwest, and plans
were made and carried out that tend
ed toward greater efficiency in the
public schools.
The future plans include meetings
twice a month to which all interested
are invited. Speakers will come from
other towns and the purposa of the
meetings will center around the one
id aa of a more perfect school.
The club has an average member
ship of 35 -parsons, all of Gladstone.
Mrs. Ralph McGetchie was president
for the last year.

PICKS UP
NECKLACE
Another necklace not the pearl
studded one of Mrs. W. K. Vander
bilt that was found on the London
streets by a workman, but just as val
uable to the heart of its owner was
picked up on the sidewalks of Oregon
City by the mak&up man on The En
terprise. Mlide of shinning pumpkin seeds,
the glistening necklace caught his eye
as it lay on the sidewalk where some
child had probably dropped it in her
play.
The yellow string was probably as
valuable to the heart of the child own
er as the priceless gems that Mrs.
Vanderbilt lost in London, and for
which she was wiling to pay a reward
of $50,000.
OREGON CITY SENDS
CLASS TO NORMAL
With an unusually heavy enroll
ment and a thoroughly equipped corps
of instructors, the state normal school
at Monmouth has opened for another
year.
Oregon CX.f has sent its quota of
students to the institution where they
are taught to be teachers in the pub
lie school system of the state. The
first day has been devoted to the
classification of the students who
have been arriving on every train and
little in the way of regular school
work has yet been accomplished.
As soon, however, as the students
are properly enrolled and all have
been assigned to their classes, the act
ual work of the year will begin and
the students will be busy until their
Christmas vacation.
The following students from Oregon
City are attending this year's session
of the normal, Misses Adale Mass,
Laverne Fraker, Pearl Miller, Amer
in. Carmen Schmidli, Satie Clancey,
and Averill.
TAX SECRETARY QUITS
POST FOR BUSINESS
SALEM, Ore., Sept. 16. Charles L.
Starr resigned today as secretary on
the state tax commission to go into
business in Portland.
. He has been secretary of the com
mission since its creation in 1909',
and has had charge of all the details
of assessmement and taxation work
performed by the commission. He
came to Salem from Polk' county in
1907 as secretary of the board of re
gents of normal schools.
The resignation is to go into effect
next Monday. It is likely that Frank
Lovell, who has been employed in va
rious offices in the state house for a
number of years, and who is .familiar
with the work of the tax commission,
will be appointed to fill the vacancy.

Most of the public schools all over the country were scheduled to reopen on Sept. S. The lift' of school children

Gladstone schools opened Tuesday,
and despite the great number of stud

school has five regular teacaers and
two specials, who teach music and

that the number "f s udents would
be greater than year when the

The city is extending the old main

carry the drainage of the- streets into

STATE SOCIETY PLEDGES ITS
SUPPORT IN WHATEVER
MEASURES ARE TAKEN
QUALIFIES AS HEALTH OFFICER
Meats Requirements of Law and
Makes Plans for Work of His
Department During
Term
Solidly behind him in his difference
with the local physicians over his
right to the place of county health
officer, the Oregon Osteopathic so
ciety has. pledged its support to Dr.
J. A. Van Brakle.
At a meeting of the trustees of the
society in Portland Monday night, the
organization declared that it would
support the local physician through
whatever difficulties he might have
and that it would assist him if the
case finally found its way into the
courts. -
Dr. Van Brakle has now qaualified
and is the active health officer of the
county. He is making plans to con
duct the work cf his department and
will send out notices and other letters
to the various physicians of the coun
ty along lines that are required by the
laws of the state.
Should the legality of his appoint
ment be carried into the courts, the
district attorney will be called upon
to defend the county official. U'Ren
& Schuebel have offered their services
to the doctor, believing "that the court
had the right to appoint whatever doc
tor he chose for the place and that
Judge Anderson's selection is legal
under the law."
The new officer has also received
notice that he has been appointed one
of three members on the National
Board of Publications of his profes
sion, and has been given a position
that requires his supervision of the
the official periodical corresponding
to the Journal of the American Medi
cal association of other practitioners.
Mrs. William McLarty, of Green
Point, is better.

AZTEC
CARVING
FOUND
Buried five feet under ground, an
animal carving, probably brought to
this section several hundred years
ago by the Indians, was found by Jim
Lind, a donkey engineer in the-new
yards of the Clackamas Southern, last
week and as brought to this city
Tuesday. '
The rock Is an animal image, pre
served in perfect condition. It has
four legs, a head, with its mouth wide
open, and ears that stand erect, and a
tail; while up and won its sides and
back there are small ridges or grooves
that the primitive artist in an attempt
to increase the beauty of his work.
It is of a porous formation which is
not found in the northern states, but
in the southwest of the United States
and nprthern Mexica alone. The de
sign is typical in every way of the
work done by the Aztecs of the south.
These two points give rise to the
theory that the carving is the work
of this ancient southern tribe, and, as
it was found about five feet under the
surface, must be several, hundred
years old.

I Curfew's Warning j
I Notes to Again I
t Be Heard
. Curfew didn't ring last night, but it
is going to as soon as the electricians
can get the bell in working order and
the new alarm system completed.
Since the bell was taken down from
its old station on the tower of the fire
tall, there have been no notes of warn
ing to the children on the sVeets af
ter nine o'clock. It has now been set
in its new station in the steel tower
on the hill and has been connected
with the boxes that are scattered
through the city as parts of the alarm
system.
Promptly at nine o'clock, a police
man will walk to the box on the court
house corner, unlock the glass door
that the sign instructs one to smash,
and turn in the alarm. During the
winter, the performance will be staged
at 8 o'clock instead of at 9 o'clock at
night
It is probable that the system will
be in condition for the curfew alarm
within the next few days.
