The Oregon City Commercial club
has made plans for a concerted effort
looking to the improvement of the Pa
cific Highway through Multnomah,
Clackamas and Marion counties, and
notices of a meeting of those interest
ed was issued Saturday afternoon and
the following committee appointed to
make the necessary detailed arrange
ments: B. T. McBain, M. D. Latour
ette, M. J. Brown, E. E. Brodie and T.
W. Sullivan.
The meeting will be held in the
rooms of the Commercial club next
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and rep
resentatives of every town on the east
side of the Willamette river from
Portland to Salem will be given an in
vitation to attend.
Court to Help.
The' county court of Clackamas
county has agreed to cooperate with
the object of securing the early im
provement of the road marked by Pa
cific Highway signs through Clack
amas county. Members of the county
court of Marion and Multnomah coun
ties will be requested to send repre
sentatives to the coming meeting.
While the counties through which
the Pacific Highway passes will natu
rally be expected to bear a share of
the expense of improving the roads
running south from Portland, it is
possible that aid will be asked from
the State Highway commission, which
will have next year at its disposal
about $238,000, derived from a state
tax of one-quarter mill authorized by
the last legislature. Because of the
valuation in Multnomah and Clack
amas counties is large, it appears that
these two counties will pay about 41
per cent of the total amount that is
to be raised by general taxation to be
placed with the State Highway com
mission for disbursement.
Prepare for Tourists.
Road enthusiasts of Clackamas
county realize fully the importance of
having the Pacific Highway placed n
first class condition in anticipation of
the enormous tourist travel that will
come through Oregon in 1915, during
the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The
action taken Saturday is due partially
to the report that residents of terri
tory west of the Willamette are plan
ning to bring about a change in the
route of the highway. This change,
if made, would take the towns on the
east side of the. river off the map, so
far as the highway is concerned. It
is understood that the distance be
tween Portland and Salem can be
shortened about five miles with no
great expense.

BIG NOVELTY FAIR
TRAIN KILLS TRACK
AT
CANBY, Ore., Dec. 6. Peter Selfors
was run over and killed about 2:30
o'clock a., m. near this city by Soutfl
era Pacific train number 15.
Selfors with his partner Bert Elli
son, was walking down the railway
track towards Slider's wood camp,
where the two men worked.
It is probable that Selfors was
Winded by the powerful head light on
the locomotive and unable to get off
the track in time. Coroner Wilson
went to the scene of the accident
early this morning. He will hold an
inquest tomorrow morning. The dead
man is survived by a brother m Port
land and by a cousin in Astoria. Sel
fors is about 31 or 32 years of age.
The faculty of the local high school
is unanimous in the desire to assist
the efforts of the students along legiti
mate lines.
A few weeks ago, with its co-operation,
the students, netted the athletic
association a neat sum, to further
work along this line. They are now
planning a Christmas fair, for the
benefit of another of the school activ
ities, to be given in the high school
building, Friday evening, December
19. This is to be a Cosmopolitan fair
and many of our sister nations will be
represented.
Each teacher is assigned a booth, in
which she will sell articles to net
money to the school. There will be
a Japanese booth, an American booth,
others representing the Chinese, Irish,
Indian, Esquimo and Turkish nations.
The plan is unique, and all credit is j
due Misses Burleigh and Johnston for ;
its originality. These ladies have the
work in hand, and hop5 with the co
operation of the rest of the faculty
and student body to give a most suc
cessful entertainment.
Miss Burleigh, teacher of art, has
many "classy" water colors and draw
ings which she purposes to sell, and
Miss Johnson, teacher of domestic art.
and science, will furnish dainty bits
of needle work made by the high
school girls. These ladies will pre
side over the American booth.
Other booths will have many inter
esting features. And the whole
scheme is one that will attract, if for
no other purpose than to admire. The
public will eagerly await the event.
Forty-two new residences, erected
or now in process of erection, at an
average cost of over $1,000 each, is the
remarkable record made at Gladstone
since January 1, 1913, or to be more
exact, in the past eleven months.
The cost of the buildings will ag
gregate $50,000, and with several new
homes to be started at once, it is
thought the amount will have reach
ed $60,000 by January 1, 1914. Tuis
wil be a most enviable improvement
record even for cities much larger
than Gladstone.
Spirit is Contagious.
The building spirit caught the Glad
stonians early last spring and has
been continuing steadily throughout
the summer and fall months, and dur
ing practically all of the time, at
least one dozen homes have been in
process or construction at once. An
unusual feature exists at the prese.it
time at the corner of Yale avenue and
Arlington streets, where four bunt.a
lows are now being built, one each oy ,
B. T. McBain, W. W. Leete, C. A.
Chambers and Carrol Leete.
In addition to the list of those wio
have built or are building now, there
are eight -others who expect to -tart
homes before January 1, 1914. The
list of those who have constructed res
idences since the first of the jears

Corpse Rises From
Slab And Offers
To Fight Crowd
To have a "dead" man jump up off
the slab in his undertaking establish
ment and offer to fight any man in
the place, was the unique experience
of R. L. Holman Saturday. About
three o'clock p. m. the undertaker re
ceived a call that there was a "dead"
man at the Elkhorn stables and Hol
man sent a wagon to secure the body.
The wagon returned and the corpse
was placed on the slab.
Holman was suspicious for he had
noticed a peculiar movement of the
muscles which is not only an unusual
but also strange thing for a really
"dead" man to do, so he sneaked
around to the pedal extermities of the
body and hit the feet of the "corpse"
with a hammer." The "dead" man re
sented such action and jumped up
with surprising quickness. '
It appears after an investigation,
that a group of friends of the ' un
dertaker had bribed a stranger in the
town to play "corpse" for the occasion.
ATTORNEY CLEARS MAN
OF CHARGE OF MURDER
George C. Brownell returned Satur
day night from McMinnville after
clearing the defendant in the case of

charge of murder in the first degree.
The claim of self-defense was made
in the trial. The indictment charged
that he had killed Walter Rogers on
August 2, 1913, shooting another man
five times at the same fight. '

PASTOR BEGINS HIS
THIRD YEAR'S WORK
The first Sunday of December, 1911,
Dr. T. B. Ford began his pastorate of
the First Methodist Episcopal church
in this city, succeeding the Rev. E. F.
Zimmerman who resigned to engage
in anti-saloon league work.
The work has gone steadily forward,
without a single backstep, with in
creasing facilities, departments, mem
bership and congregation. The new
carpet, the new lights, the new steam
heating plant, the pipe organ and the
new choir and the brotherhood, are all
additions under the pastorate of Dr.
Ford.
The pastor begins, this morning his
third year of service, and will be glaa
to greet all the members and friends
at the services of the day. He will
preach this morning on "The Might of
Mediocraty," and this evening on the
question, "Is Christianity a Failure?"
The large chorus choir under the di
rection of Mrs. Neita Barlow Lawr
ence will furnish the music at both
services.
PLAN EVEN BIGGER
EAIR NEXT SEASON
In a better condition than it has
been for years, the Clackamas Coun
ty Fair association is making prepar
ations for another exhibit next sum
mer. At a meeting of the stockholders
Saturday afternoon, M. J. Iee, the
secretary, was instructed to have the
premium lists ready for revision at a
meeting on January 17 and to have
the financial statements ready for
publication at the same time. Though
the meeting lacked a quorum of the
stockholders, plans ' were tentatively
laid for a bigger fair next year.
If one cannot make himself or her
self pleasantly interesting and some
what important to somebody else, his.
or her life is surely a dismal failure.

Extensive street improvements, the
securing of telephone and light fran

the progressive people of the thriving
