NFIt'AGO, April 3O.--A determined
effort j. to be made by railroads of
th. country to prevent car shortage.
and to that end stringent regulations
uAd PENALTIES are to be enforced by the
American Railway association. This
course was decided on at the spring
meeting held in the banquet hall at the
Auditorium hotel.
Shortage Of cars. due to one road re-
tanning and using those belonging to
another. has been one Of the great
causes of complaint from shippers.
and in instances has nearly stitied

whether q penalty of S. Il trip is to be
assessed against the road using for its

MILLIONS ON CLERKS ERROR
hamesake Of Russell Sage May
Win Fortune

NEW YORK. April 30.-Tle error
of a law clerk many years ago may
mean Il fortune to Russell Sage Ra-
phael and his mother and sisters.
Many years ago Nathan Raphael a
clase friend of Russell Sage, pur-
chased $3.50. 900 worth of second mort
gage bonds of the Wasatch and Jor-
dan Valley railroad company, which
owned a line in Utah. The interest
on the bonds of the road was default
ed and the first mortgage was fore
closed. cutting out the holders of the
second mortgage securities.
A short time ago Russell Sage Ra-
phael. son Of Nathan Raphael. began
and secured a judgment for $3.50. 76S.
including interest. This Judgment has
been returned by the sheriff as unsat-
isfied and today was filed in court
While working up this case Mr.
Raphaers lawyers discovered that
when the first mortgage was fore
closed the holders of the second mort
gage. probably by clerks error, We're
not made parties to the suit. This,
it is claimed invalidates the foreclos-
ure proceedings.
The old railroad property. which
now belongs to the Denver. Rio
Grande 4 Western, is said to De
worth about S3O,OOO.OO0 The second
mortgage bonds issued by the original
road amounted to 100000. 1t is not
known who owns the other s1oO, 900 of
these bonds.

WOMAN JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
ExCTES GOOD PEOPLE Of CHICAGO

Ready for business was the mes
sage Justice of the Peace Catherine
Waugh McCulloch sent out among her
friends as she paid series of after
noon calls. She had achieved her
title in the morning. when she re-
ceived her commission at the county
clerks office.
Mrs. McCulloch had neglected secur-
ing the official document. which lay
waiting for her three days, and showed
no haste to begin the trial of cases
when at last it came into her hands.
But one piece of legal business was
presented before her for action and
brought her first fee-the sum of SO
cents. She expressed a belief that her
average daily income would exceed
that amount.
Aside from that one instance her
first day ION the bench" was unevent-
full and ran it's regular course, includ-
ing several run in for a moment
visits in the neighbOrhOod of her hame
at '2236 Orrington avenue, Evanston.
1t was during these that she met sew
eral young women friends whom she
informed that she was both able and
willing to perform marriage ceremOn-
les.
Her one piece of business came
shortly after that time. A woman
neighbor executing a chattel mort
ge on a piano which she is buying
on the installment plan appeared and
acknowledged the liability of 1925. For
this paper Justice McCulloch was paid
the fee of so cents.
Later in the afternoon a telephone
conversation with a man whom Mrs
McCullOch classified as "either joker
or an enterprising newspaper reporter
led her to express her attitude toward

Nearly a year ago Harry Stutsman,
engineer of the Burnside bridge, pur-
chased farm OF 1870 acres in Polk
county on the Willamette river, ss
miles from Portland. This year he
will harvest big crop Of fruit. His
man in charge reports that there will
be 1000 bushels of peaches, between
1000 and 5000 bushels Of prunes, 1000
bushels of flrst-class apples and 800
bushels OF Bartlett pears. Last
spring Mr.. Stutsman had set out
400 English walnut trees, all Of which
are thriving. The farm is on the
banks Of the Willamette river so that

tney reach the shore line, this is
one OF the most protected points
on the coast, and is a favorIte
bathing place. From the flrst
OF June until the middle Of October
tnere is hardly a day that a small
boat may not leave the beach and 90
safely out and return, spending a day
on the bosom Of the old Pacific in per-
fect safety. The writer has often seen
women and small children leave the
peach at Otter Rock and go out for an
hours fishing. All kinds Of salt
water fish may be caught off the rocks
at the Punch Bowl, and miles tramp
to Spender or Rock Creek will repay
those who like good fly fishing for
mountain trout
The County Court Of Lincoln
County, aided by her enterprising
citizens, has built splendid wagon
road from Newport to the Siletz Bav
and to Salmon River, which affords
one OF the most beautiful scenic drives
on the Pacific Coast.
Otter Rock is no new place to many
OF Oregon's citizens, but it has never
before been placed on the market,
owing to the fact that it was on the
Siletz Reserve and owned by India MS.
The Company is now arranging to
build and have in operation saw
mill, so that parties desiring to build
cottages at Otter Rock may have the
lumber on the ground, at a much
lower cost than il they were forced to
ship it IN.
A cool mountain stream runs
through the town site. It comes clear
and pure from a mountain side, two
hundred feet above, thus affording
plenty of water for all purposes. A
hotel will be built, aud there will be
other improvements, a bath-house,
postoffice and "shoot the chutes." A
telephone line will be in operation by
July |, and the company has already
made arrangements to put on a large
automobile, which will make trips
every two hours from Newport to Otter
Rock. Thus it will be seen that Otter
Rock will soon have all the con-
veniences of Newport and other we'll
known summer resorts.
The town site Is laid out in lots,
blocks and acre tracts, and a public
square or park of several acres, which
is nicely located, will be improved this
season.

PIONEERS WILL MEET
Record Breaking Attendance Prom
ised at Annual Reunion in
Portland, June 10,

Preparations for the 35th annual
reunion of the Oregon Pioneer Asso-
citation, which is to be held In Portland
on Wednesday June 10, at the arm
ory, are progressing most favorably,
with prospects Of an unusually large
attendance. Secretary Hines is daily
receiving letters from pioneers in diff
ferent parts Of the "Oregon Country"
asking for details concerning the
meeting. There are many persons,
pioneers In fact, who have never at
tended a reunion, but who expect to
attend this year. The royal good time
that some of their pioneer neighbors
reported having enjoyed on their
return from the reunions of the last
year or two have had the effect Of
causing large number of early set
tiers to decide to join the association.
The Indian War veterans, all Of
whom are pioneers, will hold their
annual encompment and reunion on
the day preceding pioneer day, and
the rose festival will follow on June
20, thus making these three days In
June decidedly full Of interest.
