The clear-cut footprint of a number 13 boot. cJt distinctly, in the mud where "Big Sam" Taylor had Jumped the fence near the Holcomb choolhouse about three miles east of Oregon City, today grave Parole Officer Keller and Sheriff Wilson a fresh clew In the manhunt which has been carried on in Clackamas County for six days In search of the three negro convicts who escaped from the penitentiary last Tuesday night. The officers, with bloodhounds and a tig posse of officers, took up the chase and followed the convict's trail for nearly four miles over a rough, mountainous country. Without their prey they returned at 4 P. M. to change their wringing-wet clothes, eat the first meal of the day and start out on the Bight's -vigil. The officers believe they have better than a 50-50 chance to capture the convicts before morn ing1 and at 7 o'clock tonight every bridge across the Willamette and Clackamas rivers within a radius of five miles of Oregon City was guarded toy armed men, and officers were sta tioned at every road. Guard Opfn Fire. The first definite information that the negroes were in the Baker's Bridge country, which is about five miles east of Oregon City, came last night about 7 o'&lock, when the hunted men sought to cross the Baker's bridge. Guards opened fire and the trio fled into the underbrush and timber that runs clear to the bridge. An almost impossible climb was made up the dizzy heights of a precipice, the officers learned this morning, after giving up an ineffective search for their men Sunday night. Rev. F. W. Snyder, of Molalla. who lias been with the searchers for the last five days, only ceasing long enough Sunday to preach to his flock at the Methodist . Kpiscopal Church, jumped the fence near the Holcomb school early today and discovered the negro Sam's heavy footprint in the soft ground. The evidence was indisput able, as the prisoner has the record of possessing the largest foot in the pen itentiary. Ntgron dourly Followed. The posse and dogs took up the trail from that point. All day the negroes were trailed and at times the hounds were in close pursuit. The country be tween Parkplace and the Baker's bridge is unusually rough and mountainous, jtnd progress was slow in the game of "hide-and-seek." Ranchers Joined the search armed with shotguns, old-fashioned Winchester and some with a wierd assortment of "shootin' irons." Tonight at least 20 men are guard ing bridges and patroling the roads which lead from the hill country. The hunt has created intense excite ment about Oregon City. The fugi tives remarkable vitality is a source of admiration, as they have made no food raids since their appearance in the Beaver Creek country .last Friday There is considerable speculation as to how they are living.

While no county organization of the state has yet completed its returns on the two weeks' canvass for enrollment of families in the National food ad ministration, reports which are ap proaching final totals are now fast coming into the office of Chairman Ar thur M. Churchill, director of the state drive. The returns vary from highly grati fying figures, exceeding all expecta tions, to figures that leave much to be desired, the director said yesterday.

In justice to units where such low records are reported, it is said, the fact that canvasses and follow-up efforts may materially better the showings must not be forgotten. District managers in Portland were yesterday getting near to final totals in several instances. Their reports wilT be turned in during the next two days and, for the most part, are expected zo show creditable achievements.
