R. DAHLKE, Estacada NEVIN NATIONAL NEWS Washington, D. C., Jan. 1925.— The House on January 14, passed the so-called McFadden Bill, the outstanding provision o f which is that it authorizes member banks of the Federal Reserve system (in states which permit state banks to have branches) to establish branch banks, but limits such branch banks to the city in which the parent bank is located, and does not allow a national bank in a city o f less than 25,000 inhanitanta to have a branch bank. The purpose is to give national banks the same op portunity for business as state banka have, but it was apparent from the debate which ran for three days, that if the states had net inaugurated the branch bank ing system, the house would not have passed tfce bill. The committee on appropriations, at the request o f Congressman W. C. Hawley, will report an appropria tion o f at least $85,000 to begin the construction o f a modern system o f aids to navigation on the Colum bia river. The total cost o f this system will be $100,000. The budget did not include this item, b -t the necessity for the aids is so g’-e.-.t that the committee took fa- vorabl r tier, and will report suf ficient to complete the system in the newt congress. The comr.rttee on Interstate and Fore'gn commerce favorably report ed Hawley's bill for the con- ¡ffer-tion o f a drawbridge over lock No. 4. at Oregon City, to afford means o f transportation from the main ¿and to the paper milla. CLACKAMAS NEWS »1.50 YB. Primary Amendment Proposed. Two proposed amendments to the direct primary law, calling for con- vontlons have appeared. The Mills bill provides for a post-primary nomin- sting convention, and a bill sponsored by the Jackson county delegation pro- vides for a pre-primary recommending convention. The Mills bill was report- ed back by the house judiciary com- mittee without recommendation. These bills will undoubtedly provoke a flood of oratory. The drive for more normal schools for Oregon opened in the house, when delegations in both houses from Jack- son. Josephine and Klamath counties, supported by some scattering mem- bers, introduced bouse bill No. 87, in- tended to rehabilitate the Ashland nor- mal. Simultaneously In the senate a bill was introduced to abolish, formally, the state normal school at Weston, Regents were authorized to dispose of the property to the city of Weston.

Sounds not unlike a Hal- lowe’en prank of boys bent on cele- brating the day, but in reality it is one of the many amusing incidents in the George Melford Paramount picture, “ Flaming Barriers,” to be shown at the Gem Theatre next Saturday and Sunday nights. Anto- nioMoreno, in the role of Sam Bar- ton, wishes to show off the Malone fire truck to visiting fire chiefs, so to insure himself against any chance of the regular apparatus answering the alarm, he removes a wheel, What to do? Sam solve the problem for them by suggesting that they take the Malone truck. This they do, but the mayor interferes and the firemen find themselves in court for parking next to a fire plug.

The appointments were announced after several ses sions had been held to select the road builders. Road district meet ings were held in November, 1924, in most o f the districts and road supervisors were recommended in these districts at this time. Many petitions have since been filed with the Court in Oregon City asking the appointment o f certain men in the respective sections. There are 73 road districts in the county at present, but only 61 supervisors have been named. In districts one to ten, inclusive, there are no supervisors named as these districts comprise the cities and towns o f Oregon City, West Linn, Oswego, Milwaukie, Gladstone, Sandy, Estacada, Canby, Barlow and Molalla. In district No. 12 no su pervisor has as yet been named. Supervisors named for the year in this vicinity are: District 30, George Foreman; 36, J. E. LeCroy; 38, Henry Cromer; 39, E. T. Da vis; 40, A.

Still, a resident of this was captured last Thursday night at Troutdale just as he had finished holding up the Troutdale pool hall. It is report ed that Still had been seen about the streets of Troutdale, Thurs day and waited that evening until the pool hall of Tiller and Loser was well Ailed when he entered and with a drawn revol ver ordered all hands up. The robber called on one of the Troutdale citizens, to riAe their pockets while he stood guard. This being Anished he stepped back of the counter and riAed the cash register but over looked a wallet containing about $ 50 in currency. He then order ed all to remain quiet, and taking a shot at an electric light which he missed, he backed out of the hall. While the robbery was being staged, Jim Simone and Geoge Wilcox, residents of Troutdale, passed by the hall and seeing the crowd w i t h uplifted hands, hurriedly secured guns and re turned to the scene just as the robber emerged from the hall. He moved as if to draw a gun. The men fired and one of the bullets struck Still in the left h i p . Although wounded he made an attempt to reach his car but was surrounded. He offered no resistance and turned over his gun and cash to those who helped him back to the hail to await the arrival of the ofiicera who took him in charge. Still claims in his statements to officials that he has been oper ating in the eastern parts of Clackamas and M u l t n o m a h counties for a number of weeks and during that time has staged a number of holdups. Still is an ex-service man and son of Mr. and Mrs. Still of Eagle Creek. He has a wife and three children who have been living with him on their ranch in Springwater. Immediately following h is capture, the Multnomah authori- tier were notified and took him in charge. He was removed to the hospital and later to the county jail.

Forestry is not some vague theo ry; it is not, "Woodman Spare That Tree” oratory. Forestry is the ba sis o f our civilization. It has been variously defined as a polncy, a science, an art and a business. It is all o f them. Briefly, forestry is the growing and wise use o f trees for lumber, It means the growing o f timber on land unsuited for other use. It keeps such land busy continuously producing timber and other forest products for the benefit o f mankind. It treats the forests as a series of agricultural crops, to be grown, cared for and harvested in uninter rupted succession. A forest is not a mine, to be worked out and aban doned. Forestry seeks to make the land yield just as much in the way o f forest products as is possi ble. Foresters recognize their crop as a necessity in industry and in the life o f every civilized man, but be fore they can apply fully the science and art o f forestry to make the forests o f this country yield the greatest good to mankind, certain : things are necessary. Laws must be revised, policies worked out, , money made available, and man- caused forest fires prevented. To do these things, public education is needed. Citizens must know what forestry is and what its bene fits are before they will want to have forestry practiced.— U. S. Forest Seruice.
