WILLAMETTE
JOIN NEIGHBOR
MOVEMENT STARTED TO GET
TWO TOWNS TOGETHER IN
ONE GOVERNMENT
FIGHT ON CHARTER IS REAL CAUSE
People Want to Get Some Sort of a
System as Soon as Possible and
Believe Annexation is ,
Easiest Way Out
A movement has been started in
Willamette to annex that city to West
Linn. A petition has been prepared
and will probably be circulated the
fore part of this week.
Willamette has made several at
tempts to- establish a city government
but each time the charter has been
found to be illegal when brought to
the courts. It is probably due to this
that the present agitation has been
started to join with their neighbor to
the north. There is a movement on
foot on the part of certain citizens in
Willamette to form some scvrt of solid
government in the town even if it is
necessary to join West Linn.
In order to unite Willamette with
West Linn it would be necessary to
secure a majority in both cities. Such
an annexation would add about $70,000
in taxable property to the $2,420,000
already possessed by the latter town.
On December 29 the voters in West
Linn and a small proportion of Wil
lamette will vote on the question of
the former city annexing a small part
of Willamette. This piece of terri
tory contains about 20 votes and lies
along tne southwestern boundary of
West Linn.
Willamette will vote for the second
time on December 22 on its new char
ter. Several weeks ago the charter
carried by -a small majority. The elec
tion was found to be illegal and it will
be necessary to bring the question be
fore the people for a second time.
COSMOPOLITAN FAIR
For the benefit of the Hesperian, a

drills and pantomines .in the others.

E. T; Bussell, inspector' of the rail
road commission," is in Oregon City in
vestigating the property holdings of
the Pacific Telegraph & Telephone
company.
The city has charged that the com
pany's rates are excessive and dis
crimatory. It has contended before
the commission that the company does
not charge the same rate against all
of its customers that it should for the
same service. Through the committee
instances are cited in which the city
council believes the company has
made charges above its regular rate
against some of its subscribers and
lowered them for others.
This, the city does not believe- the
corporation has the right to do and
it further contends that the rae here
is higher than in other towns through
the state. The matter will probably
be determined after the report of the
Inspector.
NORRIS SAYS CITY
HAS BUT ONE CASE
Dr. J. W .Norris, city health officer,
denies the statements that there are
many cases of pneumonia in town and
declares that he has interviewed all
of the physicians of the city and has
found but one case.
He admits that there may have been
several cases in the city and county
in the past few weeks but that there
are few within the corporate limits
Following is Doctor Norris' state
ment:
"In re pneumonia in Oregon City, as
city health officer, I have Interviewed
all of the physicians in the city and
find one case of pneumonia and no
more."
One doctor had said that he recent
ly attended 10 ases of pneumonia
but the city health officer believes
that those cases must have been scat
tered through the county.

Dr. J. A. Van Brakle, chairman of

ported that the hose for cleaning off
the suspension bridge had not yet

BOY TRAMP IS
KILLED BY CARS
TRIES TO REACH RODS UNDER
PASSING FREIGHT AND IS
CAUGHT BY WHEELS
MEETS HIS DEATH AT DEPOT SIDING
Entire Train Goes Over Body and Cuts
It Almost Beyond Recognition
No Papers or Clue to
His Identity
Caught underneath the wheels of a
freight, an unknown tramp was in
stantly killed almost in front of the
Southern Pacific depot at 10 o'clock
Tuesday night.
He had evidently been waiting
around the yards for the freight, ex
tra number 2539, to move off of the
siding where it waited for number 221
to pass on toward Portland. Just as
the train started for San Francisco,
the tramp made a leap for the rods,
missed, and was mangled almost be
yond recognition.
Train Mangles Body.
Across his body the entire train
passed cutting it from the waist to the
left shoulder. His head was lying far
inside of the track when he was
found, showing that he had missed
the rod and was not able to force him
self through to the other side in time
to escape the rapidly moving wheels
of the car.
For sometime, the train had stood
on the siding at the depot awaiting the
arrival of the other freight. Just as
it started to move, he evidently made
the leap that ended in his death.
Though there were several who stood
within a few feet of him at the time,
they heard not a sound and the wa3
dead before he discovered what had
happened.
braxeman Sees Body.
As the northbound freight passed on
to Portland, the brakeman on the ca
boose saw a form lying on the track.
He signalled to' the men at the depot
and the investigation showed that the
unknown hobo had been killed by the
extra train.
On all of the trains running through
the city, the roads are carrying num
bers of tramps who are now traveling
south to the warmer climate. Though
npne of the company agents nor the
officers had seen this man hanging
around the place, he had probably
been waiting his chance down the
track in the yards and made the leap
just as the train started off of the
siding and on to the main line.
Another Theory; '
Another theory of the. death has
been advanced by those who saw a
number of other hoboes on that train.
Just as the extra pulled into the yards,
five hoboes appeared on the train
and started to climb off. On of them
struck the connection on the air break
and the train stopped with a jerk.
Some believe that this man was be
tween the cars and that the sudden
jerk of the train threw him under
neath. His position when found, however,
seems to indicate that he had tried to
beat his way south and failed. He
was probably carried 10 feet down the
track from the place where he struck
the rail as his hat, a silver watch, and
other articles were found scattered
about, mashed.
No Papers Found.
At the time that his mangled body
was gathered up by Coroner Wilson,
no papers were found on him to give

The various phases of educational
life were discussed from almost every

the monthly meeting of the Men's
Brotherhood, of the Congregational
church, following the regular dinner
of that live organization of men who

years, striving to better conditions ia.
the community. The out of town
speakers were Rev. William M. Proc
tor, formerly pastor of the Oregon City
Congregational church, and now a
member of the factulty of Pacific Uni
versity, and B. S. Huntington, a Port
land attorney. The former talked of
the educational problem with special
reference to the percentage of pupils
who are retarded in their work and
reasons therefor, and Mr. Huntington
took another pessimistic view of pres
ent conditions in the schools of the
country. He deplored, incidentally,
the present day tendency to tamper
with the constitution and laws of the
state and nation.
Dr. Kenneth Latourette, of Oregon
City, discussed educational work from
the religious viewpoint, and Fred J.
S. Tooze, superintendent of the Ore
gon City schools , was exceedingly
hopeful of the future. He declared
the greatest educational institution in
the world is the home, and he touched
upon questions of social hygiene.
T. J. Gary, formerly superintendent
of Clackamas county schools, and
now teacher of English in the Port
land School of Trades, maintained
that morality and Christianity are
taught in the public schools, contro
verting some of the statements of Mr.
Huntington. Mr. Gary talked of his
new work in the metropolis.
Augustus Wagner, instructor of
chemistry in the Oregon City High
school, and director of athletics, said
he believed the time is not far distant
when every student will do some ath
letic work for the stimulation of the
body, which would result in the facili
tation of the work of the mind. He
commended intra-school athletic con
tests rather than inter-scholastic and
inter-collegiate athletics.
Rev. George Nelson Edwards read
an entertaining paper, and E. C. Dye
spoke briefly. C. G. Miller, of the
Men's Brotherhood, presided.
