There are but few people who
realize the amount of knowledge one
gains by reading the news of the day,
not necessarily for the purpose of
gaining education, but with a desire
to keep up with current events.
In April 1912, the greatest steam
ship ever built struck an iceberg
some four hundred miles off the coast
of Newfoundland and sank a few
hours after the collision. The news
papers were filled with detailed ac
counts of the greatest disaster, with
also minute descriptions of the great
ocean liner. People -read all that was
printed about the awful calamity, and
after the excitement abated they
found that they had absorbed a great
amount of educational information.
They had learned of the relative sizes
of steamships and the rules govern
ing their course and speed; they be
came familiar with many of the de
tails of construction; they learned of
icebergs and ocean currents; in fact
much of the information thus gained
would not have been learned by study
and was simply absorbed by casual
reading.
At the present time everybody is
interested in the great Panama Canal.
A book has been published on the
subject called "Panama and the Canal
in Picture and Prose." This volume
is not sold at stores, but is being dis
tributed by daily newspapers through
out the country for the benefit of
their readers. It contains the com
plete story of the greatest undertak
ing known to history, but' is told in
a "newsy" style that makes it easy to
read. Both old and young will find
a vast amount of valuable information
between its covers and a thorough
education on the subject will be gain
ed by every reader.
The Enterprise is now offering this
beautiful volume on the popular plan
explained in the Panama certificate
printed daily in these columns. Clip
the certificate today and learn how
you may get this useful book.
Steals Pool Balls;
Gets a Sentence of
90 Days in Jail
Charged and convicted of stealing
three pool balls from Knightly's sa
loon, E. Daniels was sentenced to
serve 90 days in the city jail by Judge
John Seivers Friday.
The balls were taken from the sa
loon Thursday evening and Daniels
sold them to George Young, the sec
ond hand dealer Friday morning.
Young was suspcious and called in
the police, who, after some inquiry,
located the robbed saloon and the
man was arrested.
Daniels had a suspended sentence
hanging over him as a result of a
escepade several months ago. It ap
pears that through the misuse of a
check, issued by the Willamette Pulp
& Paper company, he secured enough
money to become thoroughly drunk.
T IS
TO PAY FOR TOWER
Charles S. Noble, city engineer, ap
proved a warrant for $2500 for the
contractors on the city elevator Fri
day and the money will be paid before
the steel leaves the Portland yards.
He went to the freight yards Fri
day and examined all of the steel that
will go into the main part of the
tower. The contract provides that
the city is to pay the price of the
steel as soon as it is ready for use in
the elevator tower.

WEST LI
GETS ITS TAX LEVY
At a meeting of the voters in the
West Linn school district, held in
the Sunset school Friday evening, the
school tax was set at four and a half
mills. There was a representative
crowd present although the number
was small.
No improvement of importance is
planned in the two school buildings,
which are in the district. Minor
changes and alternations will be made
in the Bolton .building.
At a meeting to be called next
week, the matter of the steps up the
Bolton hill and the wagon which will
carry the children, who live at a dis
tance to and from school, will be discussed.

According to present reports, President Wilson is to lift the embargo and allow arms and ammunition to
be shipped to Carranza, whobelieves he can overthrow the present regim e and once more establish peace in
Mexico. At the same time, the United States will block all Mexican ports and U. S. Soldiers will patrol the
Mexican border. f

Believes Scheme Will Save Time

to and From Metropolis
Competing Line
Permenant and regular auto truck
service was established between
Portland and Oregon City for the
first time Friday morning when the
Reo Auto Truck company- sent its
first car on the road with a load of
goods consigned for local merchants.
For the first few days only one two
ton trucks will be. used but, by mid
dle of next week, a second will be
put on the run and if the business
warrants it a third or"a fourth truck
will be secured.
According to the plan of the pro
moters of the service, freight will be
picked up from the shipper and de
livered to the consignee in this city.
It is thought that enough freight from
the wholesale houses in Portland for
local merchants can be secured to
keep the trucks loaded for the trip
out of Portland while produce and
meat can be shipped out of Oregon
City.
The Reo Auto Tilick company will
not have the field all to itself, if the
plans of others automobile men in
Portland are carried out. Another
firm has plans of establishing a com
peting service which will be in oper
ation probably within a few days.
The plan is not new to this part of
the state, as, at the present time,
trucks run between Portland and St.
Johns, Portland "and Linton, Portland
and St. Helens, Portland and Van
couver, besides other routes.

CANBY COMMERCIAL
CLUB IS ORGANIZED
Canby is to have a commercial club.
A preliminary meeting has been held,
the matter thoroughly discussed, and
arrangements made for a - second
meeting next Monday night at which
a final organization will be made.
It is planned to build the club'
slowly and solidly, rather . than have
it spring up with great rapidity. An
attempt will be made to secure 50
members, each of whom will pay five
dollars as initiation fee and 50 cents
monthly dues. This would secure for
the club enough revenue for the first
year. -f . - -
POLICE DISMISSALS
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 21 Charg
ed with participating in an alleged
"frame up" to "get" others, sleeping
on duty, neglect of "duty, being on
very intimate terms with a woman of
the underworld, persecuting another
woman because she refused to swear
falsely, having certain members of
the department solicit subscribers for
the Portland News and pay $3 to the
paper prior to the last election, and
many others of a more or less serious
nature, Captain E. A. Slover, former
acting chie of police occupied the
light in the - public investigation of
the department by the civil service
board.
The gambling charges against oth
er members of the department were
deemed merely incidental as compar
ed to what was brought out against
Slover. Prank confessions were made
by most of those who had been in
volved in the gambling charges while
an attempt was made to show that all
involved had decided on a policy of
standing pat but that the scheme
had sadly fallen through.

NIGHT SESSION .
CARVER MATTER IS POSTPONED
Will be Taken Tip on Next Monday
Night at Special Meeting To
Hear Objections of Tax
payers to Road
Instead of considering the Carver
franchise Friday night as at first
planned, the city council went over
the Clackamas Southern franchise and
postponed action and consideration of
the Carver franchise to next Monday
night. .
The Clackamas Southern asks for
the use of Water street for two blocks
and Carver for the entire length of
the street. . As the former franchise
was the first to be filed, with the
council that body has considered the
matter rather than take up the Carver
application.
A number of the residents and
property owners along the street have
been objecting to the franchise before
the council and it is hard to estimate
what effect their objections will have
upon that body. However, it is con
sidered certain that the road will gain'
admission to the city although it is
possible that the route will be
changed. ' .

Southern franchise were changed af-

The county board of education met
at the office of J. E. Calavan, county
superintendent, Friday and discussed
the possibility of employing two more
supervisors.
The board decided, however, that
the schools could get along without
them for the year and toot no action.
The county now has H. M. James and
Brenton Veddor. John R. Cole, Mo
lalla; H. G. Startweather, Oak Grove;
Henry Babler, Logan; and E. E.
Brodie, Oregon City, are the members
of the board with the county superin
tendent. -
Word has been received in this city
that C. F. Piatt, who reported to the
Portland juvenile court that his wife
who had left their home in Alberta
street, October 17, taking with her
their seven-year-old daughter has not
been heard from since October 20,
when she wrote a short note, to her
sister, saying she was going to put
her girl in a convent. The note was
mailed in Seattle.
Mr. Piatt says he was iiot able to
find any trace of his wife when he
was Jn Seattle last week. She has
worried much, he says, since their
nine-year-old son was drowned in
January, 1912, and he fears she has
wandered off while suffering from
melancholia.
Mr. and Mrs. Piatt are former Ore
gon City people.

ANOTHER MEETING IS SCHEDULED
Number Confer in Willamette Hall
Over Plans for Forming New
Association and Market
ing Products
In order to connect the Clackamas
county farmers with the North Pa
cific Fruit Growers' association, the
great marketing center of over 50 per
cent of the fruit grown in the north
west, an initial meeting was held and
a temporary organization was effect
ed Friday morning in this city when
a number of farmers gathered in Wil
lamette hall to discuss the matter.
. Another meeting is planned for
some time in the next two weeks
when the details of the plan will be
worked out and a more permenant or
ganization made. It is thought that
within the next two months the
"Clackamas County Fruit Growers
union," the name of the body, can
become a regular branch of the great
parent concern and in such a position
as to receive the full benefits.
. The North Pacific Fruit Growers'
assoction is divided into smaller units
or sub-divisions and thes sub-divisions
are again re-divided into the indi
vidual growers' union. The produce
of the various unions is marketed
through the main concern each box
or package of fruit inspected, graded,
and classified, according to establish
ed regulations which are fixed by the
by-laws of the northwestern associa
tion. '
It is considered that such an organ
ization will be a great benefit to the
farmers of the county as they can co
operate with and receive the aid of
such a concern as the North Pacific
Fruit Growers' association.
