This action was taken at a special meeting of the commission In Port land yesterday morning. Theodore Ospund, who has been master fish warden since Mr. Clan ton's removal early In the year, re signed at the Invitation of the com mission. Mr. Clnnton was elected to his old position and Mr. Ospund was named his assistant. O. II.

WORKER SUES PAPER The Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper compnny is made defendant in a dam age suit filed by Jacob Schultz, a mi nor, through his gunrdlan Daniel Guenther, for $2999.99. Tho plaintiff was Injured June 30. 1914, while working for the paper company, owing, the complnlnt alleges, to defective machinery. While pull ing tho broken end of a roll of paper from the machine, his hand and arm came in contact with steam pipes. The action was filed Friday through the of fice of Urownell & Stone. The United States forestry service at Grants Pnss Is making arrange ments to build a new trail around two of the worst places along the lower Rogue, the Devil's Backbone and tha Devil's Stairway. The location of this piece of trail Is near the mout of Mule creek. he will endeavor to have made. Prin clpnl among them are: "All appropriation bills must be re ported by committee on ways and means by the 20th day of the session. "Committee on ways and means must prepare tabulated statement showing amount of appropriation asked for In one column, and amount allowed In second column "No bills to be introduced after the 20th day of the session without con sent of two-thirds of the members. "All bills which have been amend ed must bo reprinted wHh amend ments In Italics. "All bills before flnnl passage should bo on members' desks for three days." Mr. Schuebel also is urging the bends of tho various departments and bureaus of the state government to have their budgets for submission to the ways and means committee on the opening day of the legislature. lie snys appropriation bills Bhould begin to appear In tho house within five days after the legislature con venes. Under the present set of rules appropriation bills can be Introduced until the closing day, and as a matter of fact most of them come up within the last week. He would enforce strictly the two- thirds rule on the inrtoductlon of bills after the 20th day. He complains that under tho present system any member who mnkes a "good fellow" out of him- solf and Is well liked can got his bills Introduced until the closing period. Thnt doesn't give sufficient tlrao for consideration, he points out, nnd some times results in vicious legislation. Mr. Schuebel also proposes to Intro duce another anti-lobbying bill. He succeeded in getting such a measure through the house at the last session, but It fulled ot passage in the senate. He would require every lobbyist to register aL the stale house and specify In what particular measures he is in terested. Heavy fines would be pro vided for violations. DRIEIR SUED FOR BREACH OF PROMISE Charging thnt Joseph Driemer prom ised to marry her nnd that through her faith In him, she allowed him to be come unduely Intimate with her, Anna Jurcak, a domestic employed at 106R East Flanders St.. Portland, has brought a $"000 breach of promise suit In the circuit court here against Jo seph Dnomer, a well-to-do German liv ing at Canemah. The plaintiff allegea.that she be came engaged to Drleifer September 1, 1913, and that it was understood be tween 'them that they would be mar ried early in the following year. When Janunry, 1914, came, the woman al leges that he postponed the date of the wedding against her wish and that flnnlly he told her that "there were other girls in the country he could marry" and that he intended to return ti Germany, is native country.- The broken engagement caused Miss Jur cak much worry, she alleges, and her health suffered as a result. Driemer filed an answer in which he alleges that he was engaged to marry Miss Jurcak but that she, her self was the one to call off the wed ding. He states that he Is willing to marry the girl and denies any Improp er relations with her. rortTLAND. Ore., Nov. IS. A draft of a law that will make the prohibition amendment adopted by the people two week ago effective 1 being prepared by attorney representing the commit tee of One Hundred, which bad an ac live part In the "dry movement pre ceding the election. Thl proposed law will be submitted to the legislature with the request that It be enacted. One of Ita principal provision will be directed against i'lltit aale of llqu or In hotels, grill and drugstore. It will aim to prevent the sale or free dispensation of llquori in all pub lic place. It will strike directly, also, at pri vate clubs, where drinks are dis pensed to members. It will provide the most severe re striction possible for drugstores. It will limit their sales absolutely to liquor prescribed by physicians. llesldes that It will provide severe penalties against "bootlegging" and the sale of liquor In every manner. It will contain a provision, also, that will make It unlawful for hotels, res taurants or grills to give liquor away with meal. It will seek to prevent the dispensation of liquor in all pub lic places even It It la given away. It will make it permissible, how ever, for persons to keep liquor In lim ited 'quantities in their own borne and to dispense it at their private table. The Committee of One Hundred doe not propose to carry cn a campaign for its bill but will assure the mem bers ot the legislature and the gov ernor that If it is adopted in the form of its presentation It will carry into effect the spirit and Intent of the pro hibition amendment. They declare that it will be constitutional In every one of Its provisions and that It will meet every requirement that decisive vote of the people In favor of prohi bition Imposes. The committee announced soon aft er the election that it would take no part at al In the legislative proceed ings necessary to make the prohibition law effective, but in the last few weeks nearly a score of members of the new legislature have written the commit tee, or various of its members, ask ing for advice is guilty iQuOR CHARG E PORTLAND DETECTIVES CON VINCED BAILY IS NOT MUR DERER OP MISS ULRICH MILWAUKIE HOTEL KEEPER CIV- EN 10 DAYS TO FILE MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL The man arretted by Clackamas of' filial shortly In-fore midnight Tues day who waa thought lo he Kred Traunaon wa rvleaaed from tha coun ty Jail Wednesday morning when Port land detectives were convinced that the man waa not Traunaon.

Calavan and the new plan will probably be put Into execution early in the new year. Each ot schools in the county will be asked to raise two spelling teams; ono for the fourth and fifth grades and one for the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. A separate schedule will be prepared for each of the two divisions. The county will be divided into dis tricts and the schools in each district will compete for the honors in that section of the county. When district winners have been determined, the district champions will compete for county honors. Each team will con sist of two pupils. A verdict of gullly ws returned by a Jury In the circuit court early Fri day afternoon against Frit Iloysen, proprietor of the Hotel Hello n Mil waukle, on a charge 'of selling liquor to Eter Gibson, a minor. The jury wa out from 11 to 1:15 o'clock. The defendant waa granted 10 day In which to file motion for a new trial and waa released under M)0 bond. The heaviest penalty for the of- fenae Is one year In the county Jail, $'.00 fine and the revocation of a liquor license. The case forma a part of a campaign of the county o'flclal. headed by District Attorney Gilbert Hedges, to close up Mllwaukle resort which draw a certain class of trade from Portland. Throughout the trial, the defendant maintained that 'the girl waa not In the hotel and that be bad never seen her. The Hate Introduced two girl, both minor. Ester Glbaon and Anna Shannon, of Portland ,who testified that they bad been In the Dlace to gether and thaf both bad been served ' liquor. A number of character witnesses were Introduced by both sides and the character of the resort wa a disputed question from the time the first testi mony was taken until the Jury re tired. Mayor E. P. Elmer took the stand for the defense and testified that he bad never seen any law violations about the place. Others testified that violation were frequent. Mrs. Maggie Johnson, a dealer In real estate, was one of the principal witnesses for the state. She told of an early morning fire near the Hotel . Relle. then called the Gratton, and of the guests she saw come from the building. One girl, she stated, came from the resort Intoxicated and she saw other women who were drunk. Mrs. Juhnson said that throughout the community the Hotel Belle bad a bad reputation and that many of the peo ple of the town were opposed to grant ing a liquor license to the place. The story of the two girls was sim ple and not as sensational as evidence in the last trial of the Friars' club which is located within a few hundred feet of the hotel. They met boy friends in Portland late one night in April, they said, and a party to visit the Hotel Belle, which was then known as the Hotel Gratton. was formed. IS APPLIED TO CITY The Oregon voters' pamphlet was printed on cheap paper full of holes, on which the printer lost money be cause It was always tearing and clog ging the machinery paper made In another state. The Oregon City paer mills have been running on reduced shift because foreign competition has been made easier, while in Washington the vot ers' pamphlet was required to be print ed on state made paper. When Oregon City proposes to build pipeline to the Clackamas river It calls for bids en many miles of 16 and 18-Inch pipe from all over the United States, and even from Pittsburg to compete. With several factories in Oregon, making wood and iron pipe, with a magnificent plant right adjoining the city nt Oswego, this manufacturing city goes out of Its way to encourage foreign competition. By voting down freak laws the la boring men of this state have helped inaugurate a new era in Oregon in dustrially, as well as in 'Washington, and business and financial Interests are improving. Oregon and Washington capitalists are bidding for the Interstate bridge bonds, but what Is being done to keep the manufacture of that bridge for tlw industries of the two states that put up the money? The battle for home industries has only begun, and those in official au thority should heed the mandate of the people and give the Pacific coast in dustries a chance to live and got pub lic work Pacific Coast Manufacturer.

The Gibson girl testified that ents came for miles to the school- house to hear their children Bpell and the interest in every part of the coun ty was held to the last of the schedule. The final spelling match between the district champions wns held in Ore gon City high school building and the auditorium was packed to its doors. she was served with three glasses of wine and Anna Shannon stated that she drank two or three glasses of beer.

LOCKS SOON TO BE FEDERAL PROPERTY The Willamette Valley Southern se cured an injunction in the circuit court Friday afternoon restraining J. C. Farmer from interfering with con struction work on the railroad across his farm near Monitor. The company and Mr. Farmer signed a contract early in 1913 in which the latter agreed to deed the right-of-way to the company upon the completion of the line across his property. In the summer of that year the grade was established and several days ago the tracklayers reached his farm only to find the right-of-way fenced in. Mr. Farmer claimed that the road had not followed the course of the original grant in surveying the track and that the contract was void for that reason. The company attempted to show that the original route was followed. The Willamette liver locks at Ore gon City will become the property of the United States as soon as the deeds conveying them from the Portland Railway, Light & Power company to the government have been executed. The executions have been approved by United States District Attorney Reames, and his approval has been confirmed by the department of jus tice at Washington. The deed provides that, while the governm&nt- recognizes the right of the paper companies at Oregon City to the use or the water in the river, the government's right shall be paramount. A born diplomat is one who can hide his ignorance behind a smile. Most people who congratulate you on your Buccess do not mean It. squash, a ribbon winner at the state fair, actually does weigh 135 pounds and other produce Is of a proportion ate size. The Clackamas -county Tjooth con tains the only livestock In the show. Two big pigs, of the type which are well known for -their ability to lift mortgages and enable their owners to buy automobiles, are held captive in a pen in the rear of the booth. The pigs have attracted as much attention as any part of the exhibit and every afternoon a crowd gathers around the little pen to watch the "porkers." Presiding over tne exhibit, or, la fact, the entire land products show, la O. E. Freytag, secretary of the public ity department of the Oregon City Commercial club. Mr. Freytag, as well as looking after the Clackamas coun ty exhibit, is director of exhibits for the show and Its success in a large ex tent is due to him. The show illustrates the variety of industries in Clackamas county. The Oregon City Woolen mill has a dis play of woolen goods which Is the larg est in the show and the papers mills are represented. The county booth contains samples of grains, grasses, root crops, berries, fruits, cereals and other products of the soil, all Bhowtng the wonderful fertility of Clackamas county.
