Pard ee, who insists that he la treasurer of Gladstone, were circulated Satur day. Twenty-five per cent of the voters of Gladstone must sign the petition before an election can be called. Persons Inimical to PArdee say that the election will be called In about fifteen days. A resolution calling upon Pardee to resign was adopted at a meeting of the Gladstone Commercial Club Thursday night, but the man says he la treasurer of the city and paid no attention to It. Par dee waa the treasurer when J. C. Paddock was elected to the office. Paddock failed to qualify In time and Pardee Insist that he holds over un til the next election. Meanwhile more than $1000 taxes due the city are being held by County Treasurer Tuft until the trouble over the treas uryshlp Is settled. PARDEE SAYS HE'LL EIGHT TO BITTER END "I intend to remain treasurer of Gladstone," said J. K. Pardee, sur- viver of the Civil War, and a fighter through and through, Monday after noon. "I am the treasurer under the law and I am going to remain the treas urer through the operation of the law. I know they have invoked the recall, but they won t have a look la I dont know how many signatures they have, and I do not care, but I know I have 115 names to a petition and will have 140 by night asking May. or Cros to appoint me treasurer, and not one of these men will sign a petition for a recall. There are only 159 voters In Gladstone, and what chance do tbey stand of obtaining the necessary 25 per cent of votes? Tea, Indeed, I ara resting comfortably on my oars. and the tide i good." Mr. Pardee waa treasurer of Glad stone last term and J. C. Paddock who waa elected to aucceed him fail ed to qualify in time. Paddock was subsequently appointed by Mayor Cross, the council confirming the ap pointment, but he became disgusted and declared he would not serve. Then the bond of the treasurer was In creased from f 100 to $.1000 and when Pardee tendered the new bond to the mayor, Mr. cross wrote on me Daca of it, MMr. Pardee Is not the city treas urer of Gladstone." "Meanwhile Coun ty Treasurer Tuft haa more than SI, 000 tat money belonging to the city, which he says he will dot deliver nntil the trouble I ettled- It waa reported that negotlationa for a compromise be tween Pardee and his political ene mies had been started. One day ten years ago In the month of April a stranger who gave bis name I William Ilobson pesred In the vil lage of Grafton In a certain middle state and engaged quarter at tbe Inn for everal mouth lu advance. Tbi wa something never beard of before and created quite senna t ion.

Then a county consta ble bad hi anaplclon aroused that tbe stranger wa a rumve rrorn justice. and that wa aensatiun No. 3. Tbe fourth wa net far away. Mr. Ilobson wa a man of middle age. 116 wa quiei rdu epi a uuu elf. With all the pumping tbey could do tbe villager could find out very lit tle about biiu. The most that could be eitracted from him wa that be had made an Important medical discovery and would furnish particulars later on. On tbe 1st of May. after looking around a bit. Mr. Hobson leased ten acres of land of a farmer near the town, and tbe fourth sensation came when It wa known be intended to raise aunflowers. No human being In that county bad ever beard of any one growing more than a hundred bead. and here were to be thousand and thousand of tbem! Wbat could be done with tbem? now did tbey fit into a medical discovery? Men and team were hired, the ground prepared, and sunflower amis were brought in nd planted. Tne en terprlse wsa dlscunsed In hundred of home nd given liberal space iu tbe count v tiaoer. but Mr. uoton wouia not Interview. His reply was "wait.

For six weeks the sunflower crusade went on. Mr. nobson did not seem greatly Interested. So far as could be ascertained, be was not tbe man put ting out the advertising, nor did he ever say in so many words that sun flower tea would cure a complaint of any kind. It was not known till the sunflower began to turn their yellow faces to tbe morning sun and bang their beads In modi-sty what be pw- posed to do with tbe crop. Then Indl viduals began to come to speak for seed. It waa so much seed for DOUBLE VOTE PLAN AROUSES INTERES I CANDIDATES IN BIO AUTO CON TEST ARE ADVISED TO TAKE NO CHANCES BETTER DEPOSIT BALLOTS BOTH DAYS Winner Of Th Tn Day Rac To B Announced Sunday Entrant In- , teresUd In Prospective Spe cial Offsr STANDING OP CANDIDATES .71.000 .47,200 .28,600 .15,000 . 6,800 . 6.800 50 centa and no smaller orders taken, Mr. Ilobson bnd 400 orders booked and waa still writing down names when a merchant of the town went to a money lender and said: "See here.

Well, they got about $100 out of tbe enterprise and felt themselves tacky. Mr. Hobson was reckoned to have made almost $2,000. and that wasn't bad for a aummer'a work.

John Haleiton 6,000 t Everybody I wondering if today la the "double vote day" or If Friday ha been selected a tbe day when every vote cast in the big auto contest will have double value. It Is strict ly up to the contestant to decide in their own mind which day tbey think la the lucky one as positively no in formation will be given out except that one of the two day, today or tomorrow haa been chosen. This wonderful offer on the part of the contest managers has created more Interest and enthusiasm than any an nouncement hitherto made during the present race for the big touring car. On "the double vote day" which may be today, or may be tomorrow every vote will have twice it actual value. One thousand vote will count for two thousand and 5000 votea will be worth 10,000. Truly this la the best opportunity yet presented to the can didates to double their present stand ing. It la well konwn that every en trant haa vote held .back, some of them having as high as ten or twen ty thousand In reserve, Now is tbe opportune time to make these votes work over time" provided they are polled the right day Tbe very best plan is to vote a few thousand today and then a few thousand tomorrow and the candidate will then be sure to obtain tbe benefit of the great offer. Of course every candidate wants to know which of the days la THE day but only one person know that Information and he won't tell. So It is up to the candidate to make a guesa, unless he want to do the best thing which la to deposit some votes each day. Saturday ends the special ten day contest now running and the votea will be counted at 4 o'clock that aft ernoon. Another of those $15 mer chandise certificates will be award- and as usual each one out for the big Ford wants to grab the special prize. The merchandise certificate entitles the winner to his choice of new spring merchandise at the J. Levitt store to the extent of $15 and many pretty new things may be purchased for tbat amount Every vote cast during a ten day contest helps out on the grand total for the auto, but the spe cial prizes are awarded only for the largest number of votes cast during the specified time. Much speculation Is rife as to tbe nature of the big announcement promised In the next few days. Some thing big will happen which will In terest every one in the race and will probably Induce several others to get Into the game. It will take a day or two to work out the plans In full, but as soon' as possible full information will be given regarding a new feat ure pertaining to tbe auto contest which will be adopted. Saturday's Enterprise will announce the gains made on "the double vote" day, and Sunday the winner of the ten day contest will be announced and as soon as possible, information re garding the new feature will be giv en.

Magone Taxpayers of To the Voters and Clackamaa County: As a member of the 1911 State Legislature of Oregon it seems ad vlsable that my position relative to appropriations made at that time be made known.

The enormous influence of nov elty the way in which it quickens observation, sharpen sensation and exalt sentiment is not half enough taken note of by w and is to me a very sorrowful matter. And yet tf we try to obtain perpetual change, change itself will become monoto nous. The two points of practical wisdom in the matter are, first, to be content with as little novelty as possible at a time and, secondly, to preserve as much as possible the source of novelty. Rw' in.

APPEAL TO WASHINGTON TOO LATE Prlonr Sentenced On Charge That H Demolished Big Gun Thomas Fountain I Victim EL PASO, Tex., April 10. An Amer ican newspaper man who returned to day from Parral with 184 American and other foreign refugee from the battle-awept district, brought now of the execution of Tboma Fountain. of La Cruces, N. M., by the rebels. Fountain waa captain of a federal gun under General Pancho Villa. When Villa retretaed last Thuraday night fountain removed certain part of the piece and concealed himself In a private residence. The occunant were Ignorant that they had a guest in a part of the house seldom visited. The American was driven br thirst and hunger to reveal his presence on Sunday, after 72 hours of self-im posed torture. He waa armed with a revolver, but made no resistance. On Monday he was compelled to show the rebels where he bad secreted the missing parts of his rapid-flrer by court-martial and condemned to death, appar ently for having disabled the gun. American resident made every ef fort to secure a modification of the sentence, but without avail. Finally American Consul Letcher, at Chihua hua, aent to General Salazar what ia believed to have been an appeal from Washington tbat bis life be spared. In delivering the missive to a mes senger, the Consul remarked: "This ia the last resort" "In Mexico they have recourse to wbat is known aa the 'law of flight,' under which a prisoner who haa been condemned, but where there exists a doubt aa to the legality of the sent ence, la allowed his freedom wlthid certain limits. The prisoner knows that his fate ia sealed. Even if he does not walk a step, from some un expected quarter the fatal bullet will come and the report wil be made that he waa shot while 'in Alight.' " It wa thus In Fountain's case. He told the correspondent that there was no hope but strolled about the streets waiting for death.

That ia overwhelmingly the choice of Virginia for -the presi dency and that only politlcatns are working to prevent the election of an instructed delegation is the be lief of Richard E. Byrd, apeager of the Virginia House of Representatives who is managing the campaign for Wilson in his home state. Virginia is for Wilson," aald Byrd. "The judgment of tbe Democratic masses is a surer indication of the availabllitiy of a candidate than the personal opinion of any coterie of politicians. The same qualities which attract masses to the candidacy of a man for nomination will attract their votes, after the nomination." There ia no longer a denial of charges that an alliance exists among several of the candidates to prevent if possible, Governor Wtlsoa's secur ing the necessary two-thirds of the convention at Baltimore. A denial of existence of a Hearst-Clark-Harmon- Underwood coalition would be redlc- uloos in the light of facts developed during the last ten days, which de monstrate conclusively that there Is an understanding on the part of the allies. The public received the first confirmatory evidence of the existence of a "presidential trust" when Clark and Harmon "Gastoned" out of Flor ida, leaving a clear field to Under wood. Then came the retirement of Governor Harmon from the contest Wesconsln and Illinois, in both of which state he maintained a large headquarters for weeks and month and conducted an aggressive campaign. For some days there haa been Inde cision among the allies as to who should be left In the field in Texas. The information today is that Govern or Harmon Is to have Texas appor tioned to him as the anti-Wilson candi date. This would mean the withdraw al of both Clark and Underwood. Ia parceling out the state territori ally so that there will be only one can didate against Wilson In each state, the coalition has taken It cue from no other than William R. Hearst who I promoting the candidacy of Speak er Clark In San Francisco, New York, and Chicago, and other points where be haa papers, but la Atlanta, his pa per, the Georgian, favor tne nomi nation of Representative Underwood.
