T ELECTION FACES - LEGAL TANGLE (Continued from page 1) the enemies of that Institution should the people approve the measure. Drys Mao Intoretted. The fart that In ninny precincts the home rule amendment will also he In voked to Ret a "wet or dry-' vote, adds Interest to the possibility of legal con flict following the election. Should there he any great tain on the part of prohibitionists In the forthcoming election, it ia thought not at all un likely that the liquor Interesta will challenge the legality of the electlou on the grounds set forth above. Should inch an attempt be made to balk the result of popular vote, the first re sult would be the deferring of the en forcement of prohibition until the su preme court had ruled upon the case, and should the supreme court find the technicality sufficient to disqualify the vote, prohibition would fail to carry, in spite of the popular expres sion at the polls. In faot, If the question is raised, the result of the election on any meas ure on the ballot would be held up. Some attorneys go so far as to say that there is yet time to raise the question before the election, and to get the ballottlng postponed until the courts have ruled upon the matter. County Clerk Mulvey, of Clackamas county, though admitting the posslbll ity of such action', is going ahead with his election preparations: but says that he would not be surprised if cer tain Interests should raise the legal question that is involved. Won't Cross Bridge "I am not going to cross any bridges until I come to them." said the coun ty clerk, "but It Is possible that an at tempt will be made to enjoin me. In fact the question has already been raised as to whether or not the pro hibition question can be placed on the same ballot as the referendum mat ters. As I construe the law I believe all the questions should go upon the sane ballot, and I am so ordering the printing; but I may be mandamussed In the matter." The fact that this phase of the legal ity of the election baa already been raised Indicates that there is an activ ity against the election, and there are many who expect to s a pretty legal fight grow out of the result, the fight to he based entirely upon the conflict of lawa brought about by the act of the last session of the legislature. LOCAL MAN IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN CALIFORNIA Information has been received In the city that L. B. Talley, a former Oregon City resident, had broken his leg while at work In California and that blood poison had set in. He Is now in critical condition. TRADE IS SLOW IN ALL CATTLE MARKETS Receipts for the week at Portland stock yards have been: Cattle 1271, calves 26, hogs 2120, sheep 1478. A very unsatisfactory trade in cat tle showed last week from a seller's standpoint. There has been a very slow demand for beef, especially the half fat stock being marketed. Outlet for any quantity in large Incapaci tated. Prime steer top at $7.65 shows the weakness. Good cows at 6.so featured, but the bulk of the stuff was sold $6.00 to $6.50. Butcher trade was generally a shade firmer than steers. Market for well finished swine has been a degree firmer this week, and $3.50 to $8.60 was bid freely for tars class, with a few extra choice loads going at $3.75. Much flabby pork is being liquidated and killers manifest light interest Receipts were larger but $3.60 can be considered extreme top at week's close. FIRM TONE GENERAL The general tone of the potato mar ket is better than it has been for sev eral days and conditions are reported to be materially improved. The peach trade is also showing firm and the de mand lias grown with the receipts. Steady prices and firm tone In cel ery were noted yesterday In the mar kets with arrivals rather free for the day. Eggs, too, are firm but have not shown any tendency for a further sud den rise in price. The trade was not at all brisk In country killed meats and veal showed itself particularly slow through the day. Tomatoes carne in liberally and the tone of the quotations was firm. MEATS SHOW SLUMP IN PRICE AND TONE There Is a rather weak tone In the market for country killed meats and crices are again sharply lower. The extreme high prices that have been in effect recently when sales wen made as nigh as 15c a pound, cut the demand to such an extent that the trade was not all prepared for the more liberal offerings that came fori- ward later. The market for country killed hogs has been holding fairly well the last few days with extreme tops bringing as high as 12c. There has been q-tite a material improvement In the offer ings of swine during the last week and Indications axe Dolnting to lower prices.

COUNCIL WAN1S CHARTER FIXED BELIEVES IT SHOULD HAVE THE POWER TO DETERMINE ALL OF THE CITY SALARIES PAY HAS BEEN FAR BEYOND LLMET Claim Mads That Father Had no Right to Raise Remuneration Above Amount Settled By Present Law Amendments to the charter of the city are proposed that will make the salaries of most of the city officers legal. The city council has determined to sumblt to the voters of the city at a special election the question of whether or not the charter should be so amended as to enable the council to give such salaries as in its judg ment, the services of the officers are actually worth. The salaries of the chief of police, the city attorney, and the city record er, as well as the other officials un der the supervision of the council have for several years. It Is said, been be yond the If.al limit as allowed by the present city charter. The plan now is to have the charter changed so that the council may raise or lower the salaries of its officers as It wills and that It may pay the best men the amount they are worth to the city. By a tacit agreement, the council has been paying these officers more than it is allowed to pay them under tfie provisions of the charter, it is said. The council believes that U ihnuld now take steps to make sucr. an action legal and will ask the vot ers of the city to endorse such a measure when it is submitted to them at a special election. The plan originally was to have the question voted upon next month at the regular election but the council found that the time in which referen dum matters could be submitted bad passed and that there was no other alternative but to wait for another election or call a special one. It Is possible that the matter will be re ferred at the regular city election. CITY'S BONDS WILL BE Oregon City .may sell Its $11,980 worth of elevator bonds over the counters of drug stores and mercan tile houses at $50 each. An ordin ance will be introduced in the city council within the next few days mak ing the denominations of the bonds from $50 to $500 and giving the per ferance to buyers of the smaller de nominations. The city believes that the money for public improvement of this kind should be kept at home and that the funds necessary for the construction of the work can be raised here more readily and quickly than they could by passing through any of the eastern bond houses. The council also believes In making the denominations small enough so the average householder can place hia money in city bonds and can make his investments in securities for municip al works. FORUM OF THE PEOPLE ' OREGON CITY, Ore., Oct. 2, 1913, (Editor of The Enterprise) A one sided campaign of publicity, advertis ing, and misrepresentation has been carried on in your columns in regard to the deadlock between the county Judge and the physicians of the coun ty. Allow me to present the facts concerning the controversy squarely before the public. There are about eighteen well-edu cated and thoroughly competent reg ular physicians in the county, all graduates of regular medical colleges It Is certainly not arrogating too much to assume that they are beur qnali fied to recommend a competent phys'- cian for health officer than a county Judge, three ministers and n lawyer or two. The party selected ought by all means to be not only a graduate of a reputable medical college, accorl- ing to law, but also, as the diplomat ists say, "persona grata" to his broth er physicians with whom he is bound to come into intimate relations. The county Judge In his wisdom chose to Ignore both these indespens- able qualifications, and ior the flrbt time in the history of the United States, appointed a party not only disqualified by law, from the use of drugs, disinfectants, anti-toxin, vac cination, and the numerous other rem edies which scientific medicine Ins blessed the human race, but also dis tinctly "persona non grata" to every regular physician in the county. The Clackamas County Medical society emphatically disclaims any Intention to dictate to or coerce the county Judge. They are anxious and willing to aid him In making a proper selec tion. Already his appointee has turn'! loose on the community, a patient af fected with diptherla, without any pre cautions. Fortunately the danger waa discovered, anti-toxin administered and the patient quarantined. The absurd story bandied about by some wise-acres that "a medical trust" exists Is perfect rot. The physicians, of course, meet occasionally for mu tual benefit and instruction. The ministers too, have a "minist erial association," from which every person not strictly "orthodox" is rig idly excluded; no Unitarian, t'nlver salist, Jew, Holy Roller nor Liberal "need apply." Strange that they refuse the same privilege to physicians to exclude all Irregulars from their "communion." DR. W. C. SCHULTZE. EFFORT.

SULZER CLOSES HIS E T Al.HANY, N, Y.. Oct. 8. The de fense In the Sulser Impeachment cant rested this afternoon without calling the governor to the stand. ALBANY. N. Y., Oct. 8. Coventor Sulcer showed signs of extreme nerv ousness today and his friends were worried by fenrs of a complete break down. Ills lawyers were trying to persundo'hltn not to take the sliuid In his own behalf at the Impeachment trial, but the governor stuck obstin ately to his determination to tell his story In person from the stand. Vnder cross-examination today, Louis Sarecky, Suiter's campaign man ager and stenographer, was forced In to further somewhat damaging admis sions. He was still a good witness for the defense to the extent of sticking to his story that he, and not the gov ernor, should be blamed for any cure lessness or misconduct tn the handl ing of Sulxcr's campaign money, but l,t was generally considered uoumtui if the court would accepr as true ht assertion that his employer knew nothing of any of the remarkable things the witness acknowledged. NEZ PERCE LANGUAGE WILL BE TIGHT PENDLETON, Ore.. Oct. 8. Pendle ton Is to have a school wherein the Nei Perce Indian langunge will be taught and wherein the students will be the business people of the city. Rev. J. M. Cornelison, for 13 years a missionary amoujg the three tribes on the Vmatilla reservation, wiy open the school tn response to a demand from merchants, lawyers, bankers. and clerks who have daily dealings with the Indians. Rev. Cornelison plans to open his school Friday, October 17. and to hold classes weekly, or oftener If the stu dents desire, through the winter. With proper diligence, he declares, the average business man can secure a working knowledge of the language at that time. The Nei Perce language ia by no means an easy language to learn .ac cording to the missionary', who him self spent two years of his life and $1500 to master It. Neither is It a simple langunge, he says. "It Is as highly Inflected as the Greek or l.atin language?' said Rev. Mr. Cornelison today. 'The endings of the nouns de pend upon the casts and the verba have regular forms of conjugation. The Indian, as a rule, is a purist In speaking. He knows no rules of grammar or syntax, but be seldom makes a mistake. The Nei Perce Is a very Interesting language." Many have already signified their intention of entering the class. IP MUST SANTO DOMINGO. Oct. 8. The American Minister to the Dominican republic, James M. Sullivan, has In duced the warring factions in this country to sign a peace pact and the revolution headed by General Horatio Vasquez against the government of the provisional President, Jose llerdas Valdez, is at an end. The American minister's action is the first successful application of the United States government's new Latin-American policy with regard to the Dominican republic, which is to the effect that force of arms never again can settle any question In this coun try. Mr. Sullivan hlB made It known that the last civil war In this republic has been fought. In the future any uprising, he says, will be stamped out as criminal without a conference be tween the opposing factions, the Unit ed States government supporting the constitutional authority against force, regardless of the merits of the issue. EIGHT COUNTIES JOIN EOR GREAT DISPLAY Preliminary plans have been made, the first meeting has been held, and a conference Is being arranged for uniting the eight Willamette valley counties of Clackamas, Lane ,Llun, Benton, Marion, Poke, Yamhill and Washington, for the purpose of mak ing an all-Willamette valley exhibit at the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco In V)Y.. Wednesday of this week, represen tatives of the counties of Benton, Linn Lane, and Marlon met in Salem when the plans of combining the commer cial clubs of the valley into a great organization were discussed. There was not one note of protest and all those who attended the meting went back to their home towns with great enthusiasm. It is thought that by combining the eight great counties of the valley that the best possible showing can be ch ained. Instead of eight separate and unconnected exhibits, there will be one great and united display, graphi cally picturing the resources of west ern Oregon. At the meeting held Wednesday Fred H. liyron, secretary of the Sa lem Commercial club; C. H. Stewart, secretary of the Albany Commercial club, and M. J. Duryea, secretary of the Eugene Commercial club were ap pointed a committee of three to ar range a future meeting and to see that representatives from each county are present, sir. Stewart was ap pointed temporary chairman and Mr. Byron temporary secretary of the new organization. It is planned to hold a meeting on October 30 at Albany, at which mem bers of all the Willamette valley clubs will be requested to attend. It is at this time that details will be worked out and the organization permenantly formed. Envious of th Immun. Little Henry (at the table, to the yl- Iton-I wish I were like yon.

"There will never be another Impeachment trial In this country." said Governor Suiter. "One hundred years from now lawyers will still be going for precedents to the case of the people of the state of New York against Wll Ham Sulzer." The central figure In the most Im oortnnt Impeachment trial since that of Andrew Johnson's some good law yers hold that In Its bearing on con stitutional law this Sulier case Is even greater stopped In pacing up and down the floor of his office In the ex ecutlve mansion to shake an cmphut ic forefinger at his caller.

"All the great continental Journal.-i have repreaentatlves here, said ne "The reports of the trial are being printed In every paper on the globe. Lawyers have come here from every university in Europe, perhaps, to study tin case. It Is a cause celebre. i have a wonderful arTay of counsel Hut they are not Interested so much In the xullt oc innocence of tne man n llam Sulzer as in the working' out of the great questions Involved. Why lust think of It! A century after these lawyers are dead students will turn to the reports of this trial, print ed tn a dozen languages, maybe, and read the precedents they have helped establish. It Is a wonderful thing for them." FATHER TAKES POISON WHEN SON KNOCKS HIM DOWN UNION. Ore., Oct. 6.
