try Applies to School
Official Here
Theodore J. Gary, for the past five
years county superintendent, has re
signed. ' -
Turned down by the people at the
polls, he has accepted a better posi
tion with the Trades School of Port
land as instructor of English and will
assume the duties of the place after
November 17. The resignation was
submitted to the county court Friday
afternoon after the court has heard
several cases on school matters and
had taken them under advisement.
The request that he had made of
the people for an increase in salary
was turned down by A vote of 2172 to
2961. He had asked that it should
be increased from $1000 to $1600 and
the request was denied. The new
position -will pay him $1350 annually
and will give him opportunities for
promotion that could not come in his
present line of work.
For many years, he has been con
nected ..With the rural school work of
the county.- He. has -been a teacher in
; the country schools during, part jof
that time and spent Tseven. years ' at
. Milwaukie, five years &t- West Ore-
gon Cfityl and three years -at VVillam
ette. He was considered One. of the
authorities of the state on matters
mac penainea to me worK m tne
country schools of the state and edu
cators generally give him credit for
placing the system in this county on
a basis that ranks well with the other
counties of this and other states.-
With three years more of his last
term to serve, he placed the resigna
tion in the hands of County Judge
Anderson and the court will probably
act upon it within the next few days.
Several names are mentioned as his
successors, among them being H. M.
James and Brenton Vedder, county
supervisors, Carl F. Anderson of the
West Oregon City schools, J. E. Cala
van, of the Wichita school, and How
ard Eccles of the Canby school. All
of these men are prominent in the ed
ucational affairs of the county and
have been suggested for the place.
ELECTRIC LINE HAS
FILED ITS MORTGAGE
The Molalla Electric company has
filed with County Recorder Dedman a
mortgage for $50,000 to cover the cost
of some improvement work that it has
in mind and for the building and main
tenance of the line.
The mortgage is protected by the
property of the company and is filed
with the recorder to gain ready money
for the construction and improvement
work of the road. It is made out in
favor of the Portland Trust company
in return for the cash which the con
cern finds that it needs for the line.

CANBY, Ore., Nov. 7 (Special)
The school board is adding as rapidly
as possible to the equippment of the
school house and has lately purchased
a fire gong, which was used for the
first time Wednesday morning, when
everyone was out of the building in
slightly over two minutes, all though
no marning of the fire drill had been
given. It is expected that after a
few more drills this time can easily
be cut in half.
A large new revolving globe will be
purchased within a few xlays, that will
be at least eighteen inches in dia
meter. A number of new desks have
been purchased with in the past week
and it is hoped to have them installed
in the high school at the beginning of
next week.
The board bought a number of new
desk? -at the beginning of the year
and" though it had more than enough
but- the . enrollment has been so large
"that, all had been, filled up. Two
large clocks will be purchased and
placed in the halls of the building this
coming- week, so that the correct time
may be secured in the "building, as
there has been no official time that
was accessible in the past, it has lead
to some confusion. "
The- Ladies' Aid society met Wed
nesday, of this week at the home -of
Mrs. C.' A. Bradford for an all-day ses
sion. At noon a delightful dinner was
served. They worked for the coming
bazaar which is to be held about the
first of December. About sixteen peo
ple were present and a large amount
of work was accomplished.-
Dr. A. T. Murdy has completed the
finishing of his new offices in the Ma
sonic building, where he has moved
the lasf of this week.
L. A. Combs has moved his real es
tate office from the Odd Fellows
building to the Knight building, where
he could be on the ground floor.

Bold Young Boes
Try To Beat Way
Over On Train
"Honest, Mr. Policeman, we never
tried to do anything wrong. Please,
let us go home. We were only after
the little ride and if you keep us here
all night, by the time we get back
home, we will loose our jobs,"
These were the words that weie
poured into the ears of night Officer
Cook and Woodward Friday evening
by five boys whom the policemen
caught riding on the beams of a
Southern Pacific train. They were
decent' appearing boys, according to
the police, and told stories of homes
in Portland where worried mothers
and angry fathers waited for the re
turn of their wandering sons.
The would-be "boes". boarded the
train that passes through this city at
nine o'clock and planned to return on
the 10:47 p. m. o'clock train. How
ever, their plan was nipped in the
bud, for the officers saw and arrested
them as soon as the train stopped in
the yards.
Seeing that this was probably the
first offense of the young culprits, and
aware that more harm than good
would be done by confining them in
the jail over night, Officer Cook es
corted them to the city limits and
showed the boys the way to Portland.
CROWDS WATCH HIGH
L
Two full tiousese at the Star theatre
Friday-night- enjoyed the High echool
entertainment,- given for. the benefit
of the Hesperian, the school paper.
Every seat was taken, and, although
the exact amount of money secured
for the' school, magazine is not yet
known, the two performances . sur
passed the expectations ; of the stu
dents. ." . .
There was a one act play, "A Matri
monial Mixup," which secured laugh
after laugh from the audience.. Misses
Grace Spieger, teole Fisher and Rob
erta Schubel were the three girls who
formed the cast.
Two choruses sang, one "I'll Get
You," and the other "Millions of Girls
and Millions of Boys."
Girls of the school sold candy and
various other little side attractions,
probably added to the unique and orig
inal features of the evening.
T
PLAN LOTS OF FUN
Eight teachers of the city have or
ganized into a society of their own
and named it the "S. P. U. club."
They plan to meet twice a week dur
ing the year and to have entertain
ments and good times together during
their sessions.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays of the
school year, the club will have some
sort of fun and frolic planned for the
entertainment of the members and a
few friends whom they intend to in
vite. The officers are Miss Mildred
Burley, president; Miss Elizabeth
Busch, vice-president; and Miss Eli
nor Brodie, secretary.

FRUITLESS ONE AND THAT
HUERTA IS DOGGED
TIME HAS NOW COME FOR ACTION
Embassy Hopeless and Gloom Has
Filled Halls of American Leg
ation at Mexican Na
tional Capital
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 7. Unwilling
to admit another failure on the part of
Washington to bring about the elimin
ation of President Huerta, John Lind,
President Wilson's personal represen
tative, nevertheless failed today to
manifest any enthusiam over the pros
pect that Huerta would resign. From
his manner and his conversation he
believed negotiations were nearing an
end.
There was nothing at the American
embassy today to indicate that a more
favorable turn in events is expected
and that is reason to believe that an
ultimatum, in its full diplomatic
sense, soon will be handed to Huerta,
the time limit being brief. It is ex
pected this new document will be so
written as to bring an end to the re
lations between the two countries be
fore November 22, the date fixed for
the convening of the new congress,
unless Huerta sees fit to agree to the
terms of the Washington communication.
DISTRICTS WANT AN
. Several applications for changes in
the district lines of the school dis
tricts were before the county court on
Friday. The people of Jennings
Lodge, Cherry ville, and Stone dis
tricts have asked the court for
changes in their lines that would give
them larger acreas of territory and
that would add more children to their
public schools.
The question of the Jennins Lodge
application was discussed at a recent
mass - meeting of the people of the
Gladstone district. The proposed cut
would take in some of the latter terri
tory and would bring it into the dis
trict of the Jennings Lodge school.
The people of Gladstone seem to more
or less approve such a move as the
land proposed to be cut lies close to
the neighboring district and is far
from the other building. The matter
was taken under advisement by the
county commisioners.
Even a democratic congress is
shamefully wasteful of time. Both the
tariff and the currency bill could and
should have been passed weeks if not
months ago.
Ambassador Page may have felt
worried about being the only man at
the British royal wedding without gor
geous uniform and decorations, but
I anyway he was not put out of the
i building therefor.

the "passing of the buck" by Presi

Big Hearted Chief
Pities A Hound
Locked in Jail
Whining and wagging his tail at ev
ery sound of footseps, a fine big
hound is waiting for his owner to
come and claim him. The dog will
be killed within the next two or three
days unless his master can be located.
He seems to understand that his
life is the price he will pay for his
master's lack of interest. He spends
most of his time in the darkest corner
of his dark and gloomy cell, never
leaving it save when some noise is
heard and then, with the glad hope of
liberation in his mind he rises and
trots across his prison to the door.
only to be disappointed.
Chief of Police Shaw has put off,
time after time, his duty of killing the
hound in the hope that its owner
would come and claim him.
BUY CANBY HOTEL
Word has been received in this city
that Mrs. Herman Miller, formerly of
this city, has purchased the Canby
hotel from Mr. and Mrs. S. Hinderlie
and has taken immediate possesion.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller have been living
near Adkin's mill for the past two
years but in Oregon City previous to
that time. The new owner has been
in the hotel business for some time,
having been connected with some of
the larger hotels in the state.

BOY'S BODY TO GRAVE
The funeral of Shelby Shaver was
held at the Congregational church Fri
day morning at 11 o'clock. The serv
ices were extremely impressive. Be
sides a large number of Jennings
Lodge people in attendance, there
were many Oregon City friends of the
young man present, and the junior
and senior classes of the high school
attended in a body. The chuch was
crowded to capacity.
Rev. George Nelson Edwards de
livered an able address and was fol
lowed by a short talk by Rev. H. N.
Smith, of Jennings Lodge, a neighbor
and a warm personal friend of young
Shaver, who spoke highly on the
character and ideals of the popular
high school boy. Special music was
rendered by the Congregational quar
tette. The pallbearers were all high school
"pals" of the deceased, and all were
grief-stricken as they bore the re
mains of their former comrade away.
The floral tributes, which came from
friends in Oregon City, Gladstone and
Jennings Lodge, were most beautiful.
Young Shaver was graduated from
the Oregon City High school in the
class of 1913. He was working in the
S. P. shops in Portland, reparatory to
entering college next fall. Shaver
was a general favorite with all. who
knew him and was a young man of
much ability and promise. He has
lived with his grandmother at Jen
nings Lodge since the death of his
own mother several years ago, and
it was at this place he met his tragic
death Tuesday evening, when he was
struck by an Oregon City car. The
body was laid to rest in Riverview
cemetery in Portland.
