No matter that his name is spelled

tention.

coming a farmer,
There is encouragement for every
down-and-out in this case. We quote
from the World:
When Mayor Hylan yesterday
awarded life saving medal to Conrad
F. Sjoberg of Manhasset, L. l., he
probably did not know he was honor
ing man who had given literally
everything for his country.
Sjoberg is thirty-three, well edu-
Gated, and capable of earning $4,000
year as bond salesman, yet today
he is taking summer course at Rut-
gers College under the Federal Voca-
ton Board, preparing to start life
over again as a farmer because doc
tors have told him he must live cut

hear the case, has notified City Attor-
ney E. C. Smith of decision favorable
to the defendant city in the case of f.
K. Chapman, who was seeking to re-
strain the city from opening a street
over his Columbia lowland property,
connecting the Columbia at low water
period with city streets Mr.. Chap
man contended that the city was trying
to turn portion of a navigable stream
into a street. but the city asserted that
the property condemned last year as
submerged only during the period of
high water. The city opened the street
both to give passage to vehicles to and
from the Underwood, Wash, ferry
system during period of low water and
to provide a landing place for ferry
boats during high water.
