Investigation shows that this department is not self-supporting from fines and costs, but a decid ed economy can be effected, if such saving is really desired. It has been the custom in too many cases in the Estacada Court and probably is in other outlying justice courts, for the district attorney or his assistant to take the cases before the Justice of the Peace at Oregon City, in stead of having them tried in the locality in. which they originate. This proceedure means a heavy added expense in costs and time, far milage for witnesses etc. - when if the district attorney or his assistant would travel to the outlying courts, it would merely mean the expense and mileage of the officer, instead of all parties interested in the case. Let’s see District Attorney Hedges or Tom Burke appear lie- fore the outlying courts, instead o f insisting that the case and the parties thereto be brought before them. Few Local Boys in Class One A review of the published list of classifications so far announced by the Clackamas county board, in connection with the question naires reveals but a few boys of this community in the first divi sion. This condition is probably due to the large number of young men from this portion of the county, who had enlisted prior to tin* drafts. Some of the early classifica tions published have since been changed, with several local men formerly designated as being in Class 4, now being hi the first division. Among those in the first divi sion from this section are: James C. Kiggms, Henry Boyer, Milton Evans, Hubert A. King and Har ry Reid of Estacada; Albert Hoy- guard of Cazadero and Frank Marshall of George. There will be a masquerade dance at the Garfield Country Club on Saturday evening, Jan. 19. to which all are invited. Walter Givens of Estacada. after a two weeks absence at Coberg, Oregon, where he has been conducting successful re vival services, returned home the first of the week. 1918 Jury List Drawn Claude W.

Alien Registration to Include Photos and Finger Prints The week of February 4th has been designated for the registra- c f the half million or more un naturalized Germans in this coun try, with the work handled by the police departments and post masters. Registration will involve the gathering of detailed information concerning the business, relatives and habits of every German, to gether with photographs and finger print records. The idea is not that every Ger man is looked upon by the govern ment with suspicion, but to classify and systematize the alien population. Women and all per sons under 14 years o f age, are not classed as alien enemies by law. Red Cross Benefit Nets $30. Mrs. A. E.
