However, Shaw waa find tnil It a III tin difficult for blm to Juggls the city treasurer out of that hundred dollnra per. and there ho Inn Boms doubt In tbo mind of the city dada aa to Urn vnlldlty of their position, they straightway appointed Shaw keeper of the Jull. which, while It haa a coin lo opera aound. la nevortheleaa very rood loU lit'siip'S wnicn Hhaw la a peace officer, aa well aa deputy sheriff. In fact, If there l anything that Shaw Isn't In the way of peace conaervatlon. hla friends don't know of It. Uivnr rtimlrk haa never been abt to straighten out the tangle hlmaelf, an before quitting office he determined to have the courta do It for him, hence thla true atory. C. D. Ilourctte oened up very piano, but aa be went on to relate the perfections of hla client aa po lice omcer who waa not a chief, didn't pretend to be chief, and never had act ed a chief, he worked up a nispham like cresendo which became fortlsal mo aa he told how the mayor wanted to "stigmatise" hla client, and atamp the mayoral heel on the neck of a perfectly good police officer. Spent with emotion Mr. Ijitoiiretle took hla aeat, and Attorney II. N. Hicks roae to hla feel and promptly moved the court that Shaw be ousted from hla Job, forthwith, rlKhlaway. nl that he further be told Jimt where he belongs. Mr. Illrka aliened that Shnw waa sporting a star marked "Chief of Po lice", and thnl he acted aa chief at counrll meetings; that ho appointed deputies, by his assumed virtue as chief of police, that his dlsrtnlmr as not being chief of police wss not con alalent with his acts as an officer. In which he acted as though he were very much chief of police, and tak.n altogether Bhaw was far from being the Injured patriot that hla learned friend had pictured. The mayor then put In a word or two for himself, lie told how Shaw had solicited the backlnng of mer chants, church orgnnliatlons and worn ens clubs, to the end that he (the mayor) might be compelled to appoint him. How the council had buckod him from the start, simply because he was not the mayor they wanted. How they had turned down Hums, one of the best citizens In the town, who had proved his value as a publlo officer by twenty years of faithful ser vice, and how they hBd In every way handicapped him In the police ques tion. However, he redeemed them somewhat by saying that on othor questions he and the council had worked together In harmony to the great gain of the town. After a little more legal sparring, In which our old legal frlonds Quo Warranto. Laches, and Ouster took part, the court decided that It would give them a little time to get together and would give a doclnlon after lun cheon. The result Is that the court haa de cided that E. L. Shaw Is not chief of police, and has no right to act In that capacity. This, according to Mr. Ijitourelte, Is something Shaw has never clnlmed to be. so the verdict must suit him. It suits the mayor for It proves his contention that Shaw Is not chief of police, and cannot act as such. Evidently It Is up to the coun cil, and the mnyor. In the meantime Deputy Sheriff. I'eace Officer, Jail Keeper Shaw Is wondering where bs gets off. WILSON WILL TAKE TIME IN SELECTING CABINET TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 20. Whether William J.

WEST PLANS FOR FREE LOCKS HERE COVERNOR HAS 8CHEME TO THWART P. R., L. ft P. CO. IN FIGHT LACISLATURE MAY BE ASKED TO ACT Stats Executive Will Insist Upon Port land Trsct!on Company Turn ing Over Canal at . Ones 8AI.EM. Or., Dec. 20. Advices re ceived by Governor Weal from Major Mclmloe, of the ('lilted Klotcs Army englnera at Portland, that the settle ment of the purchase of the Willam ette Itlvcr locks nt Oregon City Is hanging lire because of the failure to reach a conclusion aa to title, brought forth a declaration from the Uoveruor that be will recommend to the legisla ture a new plan to secure free locka uuleaa the deal la completed by the opening of the legislative aeaaion. The Governor's plan la to n-com- mend to the legislature that the en tire deal for the purchase of the locks from the Portland Railway, Light ft Power Company be declared off In event of failure to bring about prompt action. The state haa appropriated so far COO.OUO of the JJuO.uoo required as the stale'a share of the purchase and thla l.'OO.OdO has been placed In the hands of the Government. The other 1 100.000 Is due to be appropriated the coming session. The Governor will recommend that the $;'00,000 be returned to the state If final action la not hastened. It has been shown that the Portland Rail way. Unlit ft Power Company has realised approximately J WOO a year In tolls from the locks. Taking $150,000 of the $200,000 ap propriated and turning It Into the school fund, where It would realise 6 per cent Intercut, would supply the I'.KiOO a year necessary to pay all the tolls, suys the Governor. In conse quence tho Government would need to make no expenditure for the locks, the state would save $160,000 of tho purchase price outright and the coal of operation and malntalncnce of the locks would ho thrown onto the Port land Rnllway, Light A Power Com pany. "This plan will give the state fre.' locks at Oregon City without the ne cessity of a heavy expenditure either by the Government or the alate," says the executive. "The principal of $150,000 In the state school fund will remain Intact and through the system of 8 per cent loans the cost of tonnage through the locks will be realised and we bavo no bother and be at no ex pense maintaining or operating the locks." IS ESTACADA, Or., Dec. 19. Council man William A. Jones has tendered hla resignation as member of the Estacada council because a woman hua been eiected a member. Councilman Jones Is an unrecon structed anti-suffragette. Ilefore elec tion, he waa a strong opponent of equai suffrage, but when the ballots showed that a woman had won, he swallowed hit chagrin, contenting himself with a wish that he lived In Dahomey or some other country where only males could vote. He bad an Idea that the men would continue to hold the offices, anywayi It was like -a bolt out of the sky when Councilman Hawkins a week ago nominated Mrs. E. M. Miller to take the place of a councilman, resign ed. Councilman Mills seconded tho nomination, and Jones, as soon aa he recovered from his surprise, rose and thundered against the proposed Inno vator. "Not for mine," he shouted. "What the dickens la the council coming to? I'm not against women as women, but I m everlastingly, teetotally, dead op posed to putting them In office right of the I at Ilea Idea," here Jonea grew sarcastic and glared at Hawkins and Miller, "we have two old ladles on thn council now. What do we want of a third woman T If you elect her, I'll resign." The council elected Mrs. Miller, who was sworn In. No one really believed Jones, despite his hostility to equal suffrage, would resign, but he has announced that hla resignation Is in the hands of the mayor. PLAN AGREED ON BY LAWMAK ERS AND COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE STATE CRANCE MASTER CIVES AID Ltvylnj of General Tax, Income Tax and Legislative Appropriation to bs Embodied In Bill . Cluckamus County may be a unique figure during thn upprouchlng session of the stute leglsluturo when that body wrestles with one of tbo greats eat problems confronting It road leg islation, fur this county will present a solid front on a uniform program tbut was ngrecd upon Frlduy ulgbt by C. K. Spencii, of I'ouvcr Creek, muster of the State Grango; State Henutor W. A. Dlmlck, Representa tives 1''. M. GUI and (justs v Hihnocrr, and II. T. Mclluln, M. D. Ulourotte, and E. K. Ilrodln, representing the Oregon City Commercial Club. After a confertinco luatlng several hours ut the residence of Senator IHmlck an agreement was reached to support three measures, as follows: Levying a general tax of at least one-tenth of one mill on the taxable proper'y of the state, the rvenuo, es timated at $'JO,000, to be expeuded In road districts that mako special tax levloa. Providing for an annual Income tag on motor driven vehicles of 10 cents per horae-power, the revenue, estimat ed at $175,000, to be expended on the trunk roads of the stale, under the direction of the Slate Engineer. A legislative appropriation to pro vide revenue for putting Into effect the measure, adopted by the people at the recent election, authorising the employment of alate convlcta on the puldlc roada of Oregon. The Stale Orange Is alrnady prac tically committed, It Is understood, In a general way to these policies, and Grange leaders believe that a reason able solution of the road legislation tangle lies In the system of rendering financial aanistance to road districts Ihnt are willing to help themselves I through special taxes. It is openly admitted that the automobile men should have the trunk roads tbey de mniid. If they are willing to pay for them, and for that reason the propos ed menaure to spend the automobile llccnae money on main highways Is a conservaelve proposition. The third bill Is Justified through the sentiment of tho peoplo expressed at the Novem ber election. Slate Master Spence. of the Grange, will recommend the adop tion of the plana of the conference by the legislative and executive commu tes of the State Grange. Representative Gill has a further plan that recclv-d a unanimous en dorsement. Hp propoaca to Introduce Into the legislature a hill providing for road conatructlon in about the same mnnner aa school districts are administered, making each road dis trict a municipality, with power to IsHiie bonds, the districts to be gov-erni-d by a Hoard of three taxpayers, to be elected by the taxpayers them selves In each district, and the Hoard to select a treasurer and road fore man. This system. It Is believed, will take road administration out of poli tics, an J will prove Just as practicable as the existing government for school districts. Departing from the consideration of road legislation, the committee also urged the amending of the Initiative to compel the names of the sponsors for any measure to appear on the bal lot, along with the title of the meas ure. This plan. It la contended, will enable the voters to more readily Identify a measure, and to place the responsibility where It belongs. The conference waa entirely har monious and It Is expected that reas onable constructive legislation will re sult from it There is ground for the belief that If any road legislation Is to be enacted at the coming legislative session. It must be of a compromise character, and that no one faction Is going to be able to put over ita pro gram without reasonable concessions to other districts. STATE FRUIT EXPERT TO LECTURE IN COUNTY .A. C. Goodrich, State Horticultural Commissioner for the First Horticul tural district, which comprises Clack amas, Multnomah, Columbia, Clatsop, Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill la anxious that not only the big or chardlsts of his district avail them selves of his services, but that every man who plants a fruit tree will avail himself of all the Information avail able In the commissioner'! office. "Comparatively few people, outside of the professional orchardlst, realize that the state Horticultural depart ment Is In existence, and both ready and willing to extend a helping hand to the grower of fruit trees, whether that grower la nursing a lone apple tree at the back of a twenty-five foot lot, or la the owner of a thousand acres," said he In Oregon City Thurs day morning. Together with Oscar Freytag, and aevaral leaders of the Oregon City Commercial Club, Commissioner Good rich is arranging a lecture Itinerary that will cover every point of Clacka mas County. It la thought with the hearty cooperation of the west side of the county, the east side will come hnlf way, healing a breach caused by the recent fight to divide the county. The lectures will be purely education al, a ncmber of the faculty of the O. A. C. taking part whenever possible. The Clackamas Southern Railway Company haa Just won a victory In the courts which it Is thought will put an end to persons trying to prevent nr injunction ue " entering me city. Roy P. Clark sued thn company, aaklng for an Injunction against It placing Ha tracks on land which he owned. The land la block 117 n the north end. Mr. Clark purr-hased a tax title on the property from the lelllgh heirs who had granted tlm railroad company the right to lay Its tracks on the property. Clark, It Is said, ob jected to the laying of the track after It bad been laid, and Circuit Judge Kakln after Issuing nu Injunction auainat thn railroad company modified tho order, explaining that Inasmuch aa the (rack had been luld, the plain tiffs only cause of action was a suit for damages. FIRST CLACKAMAS ENGINE IS HERE RAILS ARE BEING LAID ON RAIL- WAY WHICH WILL PIERCE RICH SECTION CONTRACTORS TO BEGIN BIG WORK Completion of Llns Will Bring Big Shipments of Freight Into City Wood Camps to ba Opened A locomotive has arrived for the use of the track laying crew of the Clackamas Southern Railway, and rails are being laid on the bills toward Heaver Creek. The road should be completed from this city to Deaver Creek In less than ninety days If the weather remalna favorable, and the prospects at present are bright for track laying during the winter. Ilutts sV McCauley of Portland vis ited Oregon City Friday, for the pur pose of placing a large crew of men In the timber along the line between this city and BeavusOreek, and open up aeveral large wood camps. Wood camps mean a great deal to the tradesmen of a city, and In fact the entire community is greatly ben efitted when the product Is sold in an outside market, and" the proceeds go to the people. After this road Is' in operation and large loads of freight are hauled each day into Oregon City and Portland markets, and the heavy traffic Is tak en off the county roads, the people will all wonder why this road was not built years ago. Fl CLACKAMAS R H. HEAD After the stockholders' meeting of the Clackamas Southern Railway Compaay the new board of directors elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Frank Itusch, Presi dent; O. D. Eby. Vice President; W. A. Huntley, Treasurer, and G. B. Dlm lck, Secretary. Plans have been laid for much work during 1913, and with a portion of the track In operation before the end of this year, the road will begin to bring In considerable revenue while construction work Is being car ried on along the remainder of the line. Very nearly everybody who Is ac quainted with the country and vast amount of freight and passenger traf fic tributary to the road, admits that the Clackamas Southern will be a winner from the first day It la open to general traffic. The people who have lived In the interior districts will wel come the completion of this road, as It will bring their home closer to mar ket and furnish modern conveniences for handling their heavy freight, with out hauling It by wagon over rough and muddy roads. SOCIETY Of EQUITY LOCAL The Farmers' Society of Equity has a "local" in Clackamas County, and ultimately It Is hoped to organize the state. The organization meeting held here Saturday .was held In the Com mercial Club rooms at which were present the most representative gath ering of farmers that ever got togeth er in Oregon City. A. W. Meredith was appointed tem porary chairman, and F. Q. Cuchaniu temporary secretary. The permanent officers and directors of the society are S. U Casto, of Cams, chairman; F. J. Buchanan, Mount Pleasant, secretary-treasurer; F. H. nowerman, of SunnyMde, J. C. Royer, Damascus and W. O. Grlsenwaitbe, Beaver Creek, di rectors. . The object of the society Is to bring the producer and the consumer together, eliminating the profits of the middle man. The first regular meeting of the union will be held at Mount Pleasant next January. About fifty persons attended the meeting. PUBLICITY MAN BACK FROM MIDDLE WEST, SAYS STATE 18 FAVORED WRONG IMPRESSION IS CORRECTED Exhibit From Great Country 800 n Convinces People That Form er Report Is Incorrect - "What do people all do through the wet season in Oregon," and "How long Is the monsoon season, over in Oregon," were only two of a million questions asked Oscar Freytag, Clack amas County's representative at the Oscar E. Freytag, Publicity Manager of Commercial Club, who has re turned from trip to middle west. recent land shows In Minneapolis and Chicago, who has Just returned to Oregon City after a seven weeks campaign in behalf of the county. "I did my best to assure them that we were not nearly so afflicted with rain as their questions would seem to in dicate they thought we were, but tt was uphill work. There must be some thing wrong with the school books In some of those eastern states, for the Impression was universal that Oregon is under water half of the time." Mr. Freytag reports the keenest In terest was displayed by visitors from the Dakotas, and especially from the state of Iowa, and he confidently ex pects a regular Invasion of homeseek ers as a result of the shows. One fact that the visitors found bard to grasp was the higher price of land toward the southern end of the state as compared to that adjacent to Port land, and throughout the Willamette Valley. It would seem that Canada is losing its charm as the promised land of the farmers of our middle western states, for many of the in President McBaln did the calling forth. Each man was given a pair of qiilrers seemed to be people who had definitely turned Canada down, and who were two thirds determined to come to the coast It Is from these states that Canada haa been getting her best farmers. 'The lantern slides lent by the Commercial Clubs of Ore gon City and Portland accomplished wonders.'' continued Mr. Freytag. "They said what words couldn't say, and did quite as much as our exhibit Itself, to convince people that Oregon was really what we said It was." Mr. Freytag jntends to make a full and complete report of his trip, the mom ent he catches up with the work that has accumulated during his absence. DENIAL OF PRIZE TO COUNTY IS CONDEMNED The Lands Products Show recently held in Portland apparently did not meet with the approval of the men re sponsible for the exhibit from Clack amas County. Under date of Decem ber 11, the Publicity Department of the Oregon City Commecial Club adopted the following resolutions: "Whereas, the Publicity Department of the Oregon City Commercial Club was Instrumental in Inducing the County Court of Clackamas County to prepare an exhibit of the products or this county for the Northwest Land Show, recently held In Poiland. Ore gon; and whereaa thla exhibit waa not only one. of the largest at the show. but also of the best quality and ar rangement, and so conceded by the general rubllc as well as agricultural expert! md whereaa Clackamas did not gel favorable mention, when it was Justly entitled to be a prize win ner. "Therefore, it Is resolved that the Publicity Department of the Oregon City Commercial Club does hereby de clare such treatment unjust, unfair. and very unbusinesslike, and that it should receive the condemnation of all patriotic Qregonians who are work ing for the Interests of the great state of Oregon. 'And be It further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the management of the Land Pro Show; a copy to the Clackamas Coun ty Court, and a copy to each of the county newspapers. "O. D.

' The Oregon City Manufacturing Company, which owns about the blg geat woolen mijl In the west, Tues day afternoon made the 300 employes of the concern glad by distributing ll.hoo among them. The company heretofore has made Christmas pres ents to several of Its employes but never before gave present to all. This year, owing to the success of its business, and tho generosity of the men In charge It was decided to give i-ath employe a present. The Oregon City Manufacturing Company is one of the biggest Industries in Oregon and Its employes appreciate the kindly consideration shown by the management TEACHERS SCHOOL IS RESOLUTION THAT IT TAKE PLACE OF INSTITUTE ADOPT ED AT MEETING GILL TO ASK LEGISLATIVE ACTION Forty-Two Teachers Try Examination for One Year Certificates Big Delegation Going to Convention A resolution adopted by the teach ers who attended the semi-annual ex amination in this city which closed Wednesday may be of far reaching Importance to the schools of Oregon. The resolution which was suggested by T. J. Gary, County Superintendent, and F. M. Gill, representative-elect in tiie legislature, provides that Instead of holding a teacher's institute that a normal training school be conducted three or four weeks during vacation. It is suggested that teachers who have not bad the benefit of normal school training could attend and become more proficient Messrs. Gary and Gill think the normal school would be of much more benefit to the teachers and pupils than the institute. It is probable that Mr. GIU will introduce a bill at (he coming session of the legislature providing for the training schools. Superintendent Gary said Friday night that 42 teachers had tried the examination for one year certificates and three for five year certificates. The papers will be sent to State Sup erintendent Alderman. Mr. Gary also said that a large number of Clacka mas County teachers would attend the meeting of the Western Division of the State Teachers' Association which convenes In Portland next Thursday. SCHOOL CASE WIN SALEM, Or, Dec. 21. Complying with a motion made by District Attor ney John H. McNary, Judge P. R. Kelly, of the circuit court here, made an order dismissing the four crim inal cases Instituted by the state against J. Thorbum Ross, John E. Aitchison and T. T. Burkhart, as to all the defendants save Ross. In all cases the- indictments charged the defendants with misappropriating school funds belonging to the state while the defendants were officers of the Title Guarantee ft Trust Com pany, of Portland. One of the cases was prosecuted against Ross. Both the Circuit and Supreme Courts rendered decisions adverse to him, and his appeal Is now pending before the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States. Pending the decision In this case, the proceedings were stay ed In the other cases against him. Some, time ago the cases against George H. . Hill, who was also a de fendant, were dismissed and the ac tion of the court today, In dismissing the cases against Aitchison and Burk hart leaves the Indictments standing against Ross alone. District Attorney McNary, In mak ing the motion said that it was made at the request of District Attorney; Cameron, of Multnomah County. He said Cameron had conferred with Judge M. L. Pipes, who assisted In the prosecution, and he advised the dismissal. Mr. McNary declared, say ing that Attorney General Crawford had also advised the dismlsal as to the case against Aitchison. All of the recommendations, he further declar ed, were based on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence sgalnst the defendants to warrant their conviction, and McNary Joined with them In recommending a dismis sal of the cases. SUES TO COLLECT NOTE. The Clackamas Abstract ft Trust Company Tuesday filed suit against Henry Kerbs and Herman Scheriin ger for $1,400 on a promissory note aieged to have been executed Octo ber II. 1912 The first National Bank lent the money and sold the note to the plaintiff it is alleged in the com plaint. The saloon was closed Tues day night BEING URGED MERCHANTS GIVE AID TO BIG MAGAZINE TO BE ISSUED IN JANUARY RESUITS 11 SPECIH CMIIflC Publication One of Best Mediums for Advertising City and County -in Great Eastern Country After enly ten days active work by the Enterprise representative In so liciting patronage for the big Progress and Anniversary Edition to be Issued about the middle of January the re suits Justify the prediction that the 1913 Annual will be far better than ever from every standpoint. Considering that the soliciting has been confined to the period Immed iately preceding the holidays, when for obvious reasons the larger mer chants and many others whom we might reasonably expect to Interest could not be seen, the results are es pecially gratirylng. Nothing in the way of a publicity measure for Ore gon City or Clackamas County was ever put out in a more attractive " form or on a more comprehensive scale than the forthcoming Progress and Anniversary number will be, and, if perchance, there should be any who are dissatisfied with the Issue after it is in circulation we opine that It will be some one who has fail ed to arrange for representation In its columns and happily it seems that their number will be extremely limited. Below we are printing a list of the live, progressive business firms and others' bo have already signified their willingness to cooper ate with the Enterprise In making this handsome edition possible. These people believe In progress. They believe in a more progressive Oregon City and a more populous Clackamas County. Tbey believe that an Issue of this kind carrying the message of Clackamas County's op portunities and progress to thousands of Eastern readers will be of untold benefit to the community In attract ing new blood, new brainy jMnew money to the county; They also recognise this magazine as an Ideal medium of local publicity, going into the homes of Clackamas County as a part of the regular ls-y sues of the Enterprise as it does, but apart from any benefits which may accrue to them directly as a result of their participation In the Issue they are broad minded enough to appre ciate that anything that win help to build up the community will help every business man and every prop erty owner In It and are public spir ited enough to bear their part cheer fully. There are a great many yet to be seen in behalf of the Progress and Anniversary Number and now that Christmas will soon be over the work wid proceed rapidly.
