J. Phlpps Sues for Suit Against City to Stop Them From Complet ing Work Means That, East Side Sewer District Is Out' Commission. A restraining order was tissued by Judge F. M. Calkins in t(ib circuit court Thursday morning enjoining the city from proceeding! with tho construction of a trunk sower across Hear creek on property owned by I. J. Phipps. The restraining order Is temporary in its nnturo nhd is the molt n n emit filnil llV iff. PhitWS ngninst tho city asking that tho city bo permanently restrained from con structing the trunk sewer across Bear creek nt that point. If Mr. Phipps should succeed in winniiiL' tho suit and have the city permanently enjoined it would mean a great loss to the city, as the trunk ecwer drains the entire east side, where laterals hnvo been laid. The draining of the cast side has long b?en an engineering problem which w.is finnllv solved by carrying tho trunk sqwer across Bear creek on niliutr. In no other way and nt no other jMiint will tho city be nblc to connect with tho present nntiseptic tank where the sewcrago ottne city is deposited. It is stated that if tho city had lived up to tho terms cf a contract which thoy bnd with Mr. Phipps that tho prevent suit would not have been filed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1. With Sen ator Ellhu Root en route from South ampton to New York, politicians who are concocting a scheme to oust Sec retary of the Interior Ballinger will have to move with considerable speed. That Is tho consensus of opinion of New York politicians who have been watching tto moves made by Sena tor Crane of Massachusetts and his followers to remove Ballinger from the cabinet. The latest plan depends on tho ability of ttaoso who want to discipline Ballinger for "party rea sons" in securing a crltlc'sm of his official conduct from the congression al Investigating commltte. To do this It Is necessary to keep .Senator Root from voting and to get one of the majority to voto against Ballin ger. f Senator Crane Is said to have used his influence with Congressman Mc- TWO MEN LOST IN CRATER PARK Both May Have Perished Word Is Brought to This City by J.

Heard, who "returned from n trip in Klam ath county last evening. Both of the men were lost in the mountains near tho lake, and searching parties had been unable to find them wheii he left the lake. One man had been lost CO hours nnd tho other for 4S hours when he left. Owing to tho fact that telephone wires are down, word can not bo had irom tho lake as to their safety. Ono of tho men was a member of the surveying party which is engng ed in inying out roads and trails in tho park. This man, without a coat, matches or food, had been missing for GO hours when Mr. Heard left tho lake, and searchers were out in tho hills making a systematic hunt for him. Without food, ho probably perished, unless ho stumbled down the mountains to somo settlement. Tho second man was a lad of 122 years. Ho went out with a hunting onrtv and had a bundle of food with "FOUL BASE LIE" J Roosevelt Answers Attack Made In New York Evening Post, Which Ac cuses Him With Taking Money to Buy Votes and Declares Forcibly That Statement Is Absolutely False. NEW YORK, Sopt. 1. Answering an attack in tho Now York Evening Post, which accused him of taking inonoy from corporations to buy votes, Colonel Theodoro Roosovolt, in an article in tho Outlook today, declares tho Post's statements abso lutely false and says that tho editor who prepared them practiced ovory known form of mendacity.
