County Health Officer Van Brnklo niiKlo a trip beyond Damascus Satur- lay to Invest Ignte tlio caso of a dog, which was suspected of having rubles. ho dog was the property of J. w, lennlnglon and was bitten by the lanson dog which was reported Sep tember 24. Ai tho owner did not wish to take tho risk of keeping tho dog, )r. Van Untitle ordered tho animal int. It is thought that the Inflection was caused by a strange dog which ran through that, section of tho country ntt Juno. It bit sevoral nnliiuils be fore It was shot ut llorlng. Since that me, every five or Bix weeks, dogs vo been found with suspicious symp- onis but lmvo always been shot bo- fore a diagnosis could bo made. The chief danger Bocms to be to the stock which Is readily bitten by these animals, but the state hoard of health Is now giving the Pasteur treat ment to a woman In llorlng who wus recently bitten by one of these an imals," said Dr. Van llraklo Siitnrdny. 'Dogs that have bitten stock only should be shot at once. If a person is bitten, however, tho animal should he kept chained up for at least, a week Ro that a positive diagnosis can ho made, ns the use of the Pasteur treatment. Is needless unless tho dog is suffering from the rabies." N.-Katlve majority 12G Voter In the down town section eincd to favor the plan, but those who cant their ballot on the bill polled a two to one vote again! the mcuRuro and enilly overcome tho amall lead. The vole given the measure was a sur prle to many of Its supporters, who. during the day, expected even a worse lefeat. The fuel thnt the plan carried In one ward was a atirpriae to many. Th mea.ire waa framed by the city authorities and met with official sanc tion. Its object was to life the debt of the city by increased taxation and to provide other changes In municipal government. The meiiibera of tho council and oth er of tho city authorities are now ad- ocatlng the Htrlctcbt economy to keep the city within the Income under the 10 mill levy. A week previous to the lection two budgets were prepared. one to be used if the amendment panned, tho other, If It met with de feat. The second budget Is drastic In many of lis men mi res. Under Its provisions, the Seventh street elevator, now n ear ing completion, would not bo operated unles a ayatem of farea waa devised; atreet and other Improvement work would be stopped, the police force would bo reduced; the office of the city engineer cut down; street cleaning practically stopped, and other steps taken which would effect every de partment. One of tho city officials who was ac tive in support of the defeated meas ure was beard to remark Monday night that now tho only policy left to the city was one of curtailment In ev ery department. "The voters have- shown by a decided majority that they did not approve of an increased tax and that they want the city to be run on a 10-mtll bnsis, ho snld. In the face of such facts, the only thing I can see left for the council Is to cut expenses down to the lowest mark for surely no taxpayer can approve of the debt-bringing systems of the years past." milwaukie-pSrtland ROAD NEARLY DONE CLACKAMAS COUNTY SPENDS $12, 000 ON SHORT TRUNK HIGHWAY WILL BACK DRY LAW REPRESENTATIVE SCHUEBEL AD VOCATES DRASTIC STEPS TO STOP TRAFFIC POSTMASTERS NAMED Following the recent civil aervlce ex aminations, scverul four class postmas ters have been appointed in Clacka nius county. They are: Herman Lies man, Willamette; D. Purcell, Sandy; Walter T. Hrown. Wllsonville; William A. Morand, Horing, and Ethel H. Mather, Clackamas. The Clackamas county delegation nt tho stnto legislature will voto for any mensuro which will Justly carry out tho prohibition amendment passed at the general state election last Tuesday. This was evident when each of the four, Senator WalUr A. Dlmlck nnd Representatives C. Schuebel, C. W. Rlsley and Guy T. Hunt, hnve promised their support to such a bill. I he pro hibition amendment merely states that after January 1, 1916, "no Intoxicating liquors shall bo manufactured or sold within the state" and provides no pon- nlty ."or violation. It was the inten Hon of tho frnmers of the measure to secure nn net from tho legislature hich would fill out tho plan of mak ing the state dry. Since the election Representative Hunt has been heard to remnrlc several times that lie would support such a bill. Ho declared thnt the voters of the statu were decisive in their opinion of the liquor traffic and that It was the duty of the legislature to listen to their lshes. Senator Dlmick at his home Sunday evening, stated that although he had though of no details for a bill, ho would support any measure which would car ry out tho .prohibition scheme of things. Representative Rlsley said Sunday night that ho, too, would bo with the Clackamas delegation in their support of a bill to supplement the amendment. Representative Schuebel advocates decisive steps. He said Sunday night: "The people of the state have signi fied their wishes for a dry state, and I believe that the legislature Bhou'd do its best to give them one. A bill to carry out in effect the plan of the pro hibition amendment should be framed and violators of It should he severely punished. Anyone convicted of run ning a 'blind pig' should bo given a severe sentence nnd 1 believe that drug stores should have their Hcenss revoked if they dispense It too freely. Tho certificate of any doctor who will prescribe liquor to persons not in need of It should be revoked. I want tho law inforced." Cluckamas county Is spending more than $12,000 In rebuilding the Mllwau kle road between Milwaukle and the Multnomah county lifie at Scllwood. When completed It Will be a hard sur face road, the grade being not more than 2 percent. Arrhle Mason, a Portland contractor, has the work well advanced, although It will he some time before the Job will be finished and the road opened to the public. An entirely new road Is being built, starting from the sti bridge over Johnson Creek and extending a dis tance of one mile tcf Sollwood. The heavy work consists of a deep cut through a rocky bluff Just north of Johnson Creek, where the rock, was blusted for about 200 feet for the road way. Then there Is) a fill north of this rock cut an avenge depth of 12 feet wulcb reduce tuward the Milwau kle cemetery, where 'u cut of five feet Is made to lower the grade. The fill Is for about 300 yards, tho material com lug from the rock cut and the earth cut In front of Milwaukle cemetery. A roadway of crushed and screened rock Is being placed on the fill and a steam roller Is working It into a com pact mass. Just north of the John son Creek bridge a concrete retaining wall on the crock has been built for a distance of 200 feet to hold the road way fill and prevent the water from washing out the earth. When finished the roadway will have a hard surface to tho Multnomah coun ty line. This mile of road always has been one of the worst In Clackamas county, but Is important, as It is used by practically all of Clackamas county in reaching Portland. It Is also a part of the east side Pacific highway be tween Portland and Oregon City. It was expected that the Improvement would cost about $10,000 at the start, but the rock work proved more exten sive than was figured on, and the cost may run up to $15,000 before the Im provement Is finished. The county has Improved the road south from Mllwnukie to Oregon City at heavy cost last year, so that the east side road to Oregon City will be a well Improved highway when finished. The Clackamas Improvement ends at enst Seventeenth street in Sellwood, which is unimproved and In a bad con dition Efforts are now to be made to have east Seventeenth street paved through Sellwood in order to meet the expensive improvement Clackamas county Is making southward. The official of both Clurknmtts and Multnomah counties have united In the search for an Italian, named either Dominique Oramano or Itonan Padgin who shot and critically wound Mrs. Ollmpla I'olarmenl, an Italian womnn living on the (Jrujs cronlng road at Kendle, Juki aoutb of the Mult nomuh-Clnckarnn county I'ne The crime was commlttced about noon Saturday while tt.t woman who waa alone In her noma. .

Deputy llert Staats was the first Clackamas county official to leave on the hunt and be waa followed by Sher iff Mnaa and Deputy Miles about 1 o clock. The woman was taken to the St. Vincent's hospital in Portland early In the afternoon where she Is now In a critical condition. Her assailant shot her In the back and cut her face with a large knife. Word was received here late In the afternoon that Mrs. I'olarmenl was dying and District Attorney Hedges left for Gray Crossing to get a state ment from the woman. Upon his ar rival there he learned that she bad been taken to the Portland hospital and Attorney Hedges Instructed Port land officials to get a statement. If pos sible. It waa learned luter that a state ment was secured. Investigation at the scene of the crime has brought out many details.

FIGHT MAY CAUSE DEATH SALEM. Ore.. Nov. 7. Following a quarrel on the county road near Cham- poeg Friday, John Schultz hacked George Hrown so severely with a hatchet that Hrown Is more dead than alive. Schultz is in the Marion county jail. Dr. Littlefield, who attended Hrown, says he hus small chance to re cover. Hrown is a farmer residing near Newberg. Some few months ago he employed Schultz on a farm near Champoeg. Friday the two men met in the road, wh-n, after heated words, Schultz seized a hatchet from Hrown's wagon and beat him severely about the face and body. Mrs. Ollmpla ParlarraenI, who was shot by an Italian last Saturday noon, died at the St. Vincent s hospital in Portland Tuesday morning. A widow er and a 20-month-old babe survive her. Her husband is employed at a railway carshops in Portland. The assailant of Mrs. ParlamenI is still free, despite the efforts of Clack amas and Multnomah county officials. In an effort to find the man, special detectives co-operated with the offi cials and a close watch has been kept in the former favorite haunts of the man, whose name is believed to be Dominec Padgin. Sheriff Mass has spent considerable time on the case aud is of the opln ioii that if sufficient indignation Is arouBed among Padgin's fellow coun trymen in Portland, the man will bo located. . The sheriff believes that be cause of the feeling among the Ital ians In Portland, Padgin may remain hid securely until the hunt for him is dropped. car was so crowded by the good-na tured delegation that even the lBles were filled. The party arrived In Port land before 8 o'clock and O. E. Ftey- tag, who Is director of exhlbltB of the b.g Portland fair as well as manager or tne publicity department here, met the car. It Is estimated that 75 from this city were at the Portland show. Lead by a brass band, the Clackamas county delegation was guided to the armory where the show was In prog ress. The Portland armory covers an entire block and extensions which take up the 60-foot streets around the build ing were built to accommodate the crowds and the exhibits. Oregon City and Clackamas county play an important part in the success or the show. The county booth, In which the best of the exhibit at the state fair is displayed, is one of the sights on the main floor end draws hundreds of visitors. In the county Dootn are two live pigs, the only live stocK in the show. The local woolen mill has a complete exhibit which Is considered the largest in the building. Many specimens of the products of the plant are shown. The county delegation spent the evening In thoroughly inspecting ev ery department of the show. Per sons from Oregon City wore badges wnicn were distributed during the ride to Portland. The return trip wa3 made late in the evening and the car arrived in this city at 11 o'clock. VOTERS KILL FREAK AT 641 MAJORITY FOR NOOSE IN ALL STATE PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 11. Returns today from Malheur county made the vote on the measure before the voters Uist Tuesday providing for abolition of capital punishment virtue Hy complete and served to make sure the defeat of the bill. Malheur returned a net majority of 69 votes ngalnst the bill. The total vote now stands 95.746 for t'ao measure and 96.3S7 against it. The majority against it how is 641 and it is believed that fully 95 per cent of the vote in the state ha3 been reported. Inas- mrch as every county is Included in the available returns, the present fig ures reflect the sentiment of the vot ers. The three other measures passed last week were; Prohibition, provis ion for merging cities and requiring voters to be citizens. Summaries of Oregon election re turns show that all of the 26 measures and amendments on the ballot affect ing industries, taxation and Invest ments have been defeated. The press of the state was almost unanimously against these proposed laws condemning many of them as radical and freak propositions and the result is defeat of a vicious system of legislation. For some of these measures, cam paigns were made and a great deal of money spent in advertising them, and strong organizations were put back of them, but the voters had made up their minds to check the system. Some of the measures were en dorsed by the state grange, laBor or ganizations and the so-called People's Power league for direct legislation. i that has been an effective combina tion in the past. A number of the proposed laws that have all gone down in defeat were backed by the organized women's club of the state, but an educated public sentiment on the part of the general electi-oate doomed them oil to defeat. The voters are aroused to the fact that this system is a vicious abuse of the initiative and referendum, and they nave wisely saved direct legislation by destroying tho abuse. Many of the proponents of these de feated laws and amendments will un doubtedly come before the legislature with propositions to put them over, perhaps in changed form. This has been done in the past. When the voters have snowed under a so-called progressive measure, it has hobbed up before the general assembly and been lobbied through. The advocates of resurrecting any of the defeated measures will be given a cold shoulder for the first time by the Oregon legislature, if all signs fail not. The verdict of the voters is for a letup in legislative activity that inter feres with industries and business. The complete official count on can dldrfl , which waa completed Tuesday evenlnii, lio that Ilia tat.-menta made the day following the election were correct lo every regard. Tbe vote on amendments la now being can- vaed. All tbe county winner were select ed usually by wide margin uaually over a thousand according to the com plete official total.
