BIG TAX HAUL
SHERIFF
MAKES
MONEY POURS INTO OFFICE AS
LAST DAY OF PERIOD
DRAWS NEAR
GETS THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
Record For Season is Made Although
One Day More Remains and
Receipts May Be More
Than Saturday's
Thirty thousands dollars in taxes
were received by Sheriff E. T. Mass
in Saturday's collections. As the
time for the collection draws to u
close, the sheriff has been sawamped
with the money that has poured in
to his office.
Saturday was the record day for
this season of the year. The taxds
came in in large numbers from all
.parts of the county and the clerks in
the office were busy through thvs day
issuing the receipts for the troney
that was taken in over the couu'ei.
Though the list does not close until
Monday night, the property owners
have figured that October 1 was the
last day and have been bringing in
their contributions to the county ex
penses. After Monday, the taxes
that are not then paid will be placed
on the county delinquent list.
It is probable that Monday will be
the biggest day of the season as it
will mean the last chance to escape
the delinquent roll. Taxpayers from
all parts of the county will then make
a rush for the sheriff's office with
their taxes and the clerks will be
busier than ever making our receipts.
BOOSTERS BELIEVE IN
Both B. T. McBain and L. Adams,
members of the publicity commitee
of the Commercial club are enthuias
tic over the proposal to unite the dis
play of eight of the counties of the
state when the exhibits are sent to
the Panama-Pacific exDosition. -
They believe that fhis state and the
counties that are involved will all er-
ceive better and more pulling adver
tising if the work is done under the
supervision of one committee and a
large display is sent rather than sev
eral smaller ones.
The publicity men of the several
counties will meet from time to time
to lay plans for the display and will
have an exhibit ready for the exposi
tion that will be of beneficial influ
ence in the campaign for more home
steaders in the state.
Tiny Tot Pilfers
Picture to Place
Under Her Pillow
Little Viola, aged 10, saw Kenneth,
aged 12, and loved him. It was a
case of dropping head over heels into
it at almost first sight. She knew
Kenneth, of course, and he lived but
a few doors on the other side of the
street from her, but she wanted to see
his face all of the time.
It happened that Kenneth had an
older sister. The sister had a picture
of the boy sweetheart and the girl
wanted it. Of course, she didn't want
to as' for it but one day she visited
that older sister of the boy she loved,
After hunting all over the house, she
saw the face for which she had been
looking and while the woman ' was
busy with her household duties, the
golden haired girl just took it.
Some time later, the boy's sister
discovered that the picture was miss
ing. She was mystified but diligent
search failed to reveal it. But the
girl, too, had a sister and one day
she found under the little tot's pillow
the missing photo. Every night she
had placed it there just before she
went to bed and always took it out
he next morning to put it safely away
in a hiding place that she had in
, vented for it.
COUNTY TEACHERS
IN FIRST MEETING
The Clackamas County School Mas
ters' club held the first meeting of the
year Saturday night at the Presbyter
ian church. The ladies of the church
served supper to the teachers in the
parlors.
Twenty principals and superintend
ents of the county were present to
whom Frank Riggler, former superin
tendent of the Portland schools, ex
plained his book on "Methods of Pri
mary Arthimetic." He was the chief
speaker of the evening and talked
along school lines and methods of
modern education.
The next meeting will be held at
Wichita six weeks from the first ses
sion. There are about 35 members in
the club, most of whom make it a
point to attend almost every session
of the organization.
Some women are self-made, but
most of them are remodeled by dress
makers. It is better for a girl to- he given
in marriage than it is for a man to
be sold.
Wnen a man calls his wife "dear"
in public it sounds like, an insinuation.

WEST'S LAWYERS DECLARE
NO STATUTES WAS BROKEN
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 4. Declaring
there was no violation of law or mis
appropriation of funds by the irem
bers.of the state board. Attorneys
Claude McColloch and John McNary,
representing Governor West, Secre
tary of State Olcott and State Treas
urer Kay, today vigorously attacked
the complaint filed by Attorney Gen
eral Crawford on behalf of the sta.e
to recover practically $16,000 alleged
to have been unlawfully expended
from the penitentiary, "revolving
fund.
The case was agrued before Judu;e
Percy Kelly on . a demurrer filed by
the defendants alleging that there
are not sufficient facts in fhe com
plaint to constitute a cause of action.
Judge Kelley took the case under ad
visement. The oncTiing argument was made
by McColloch, who pointed out the
difference between the funds derived
from the earnings of the institution
and the funds raised by taxation. He
said the more an institution eprr.ed
the better for the institution, and that
it had been the custom to expend
these earnings to cary on industries
at the institution and for the better
ment of the institution.

OFFICIALS DENY ALL
E
Representatives of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company ve
hemently deny that they had har
bored any untoward designs to change
the routing of the Oregon City cars so
that they would not stop on Washing
ton street but would wander off to
Third and Yamhill in Portland.
The assert that they nave gone to
the expense of building a depot for
the long distance lines and that they
propose to keep those lines running
into that point. On the other hand
it is possible that a change. will be
made in the lines carrying five-cent
far-es for the congestion around that
place is too great and is growing
worse all of the time. - It is estimat
ed that 120 cars pass over the Burn
side, 106 over the Morrison street, 60
over the steel, and 98 over the Broad
way bridges during the rush hours
and that they all dump their passeng
ers in about the same places.
The Oregon City line, however, will
not be effected by any change that
may be made in the system it is said.

members. At that time, suggestions
will be made for the improvements
that are now planned and an effort
made to gain the support of the court
