VOLUME XXXIV
Because of Illness of Miller, Man
Who Wae Originally Considered
Takes His Place.
O. E. Crowe, well-known Lorane
road builder, will be the candidate
against Commissioner I.. N. Roney
in the recall election, his candidacy
having been brought about by rea
son of the fact that Andrew Miller,
originally nominated for the posi
tion, has been in a serious condi
tion of health. For some time his
life hung by a thread, although
that fact was not generally known.
Because of Mr. Miller’s belief that
his condition of health will not be
such that he could assume the re
sponsibilities of office and because
of the anxiety of relatives and
friends, the recall committee ac
ceded ♦<? hi- request that his name
be withdrawn.
Mr. Crowe was considered for
the position originally and probably
would have been named in the re
call petitions but for the fact that
Mr. Miller’s name had been first
suggested. Mr. Crowe is well known
in south Lane county as a road
builder and as a man of integrity.
He is a member of a pioneer Lane
county family and getting a good
winter road from Lorane to Cot
tage Grove has been almost a life
work with him. Probably but for
the fact that as commissioner he
would be in position to complete
this work he would not have been
willing to make the necessary sacri
fice that holding the office of coun
ty commissioner requires of one
who has interests of his own re
quiring personal attention, as he
has.
Mr. Crowe has been in hearty
sympathy with the recall of the
county commissioners because of
their inefficiency and extravagant
methods of road building. He is a
member of the farmers ’ union and
of the grange and of several fra
ternal organizations.

I NINE VIOLENT DEATHS
I OCCUR IN JUNCTION CITY
| FAMILY WITHIN 4 YEARS
•----------------------------------------------- 4
Violent deaths have been a fea
ture in the history of the Pitney
family, of Junction City. William
M. Pitney, pioneer, who was killed
April 18, when a Southern Pacific
passenger train struck his automo
bile as he started to drive over a
crossing at the edge of Junction
City, was the ninth who has met
such a death.
Mr. Pitney's mother was killed
in 1878, when her clothing was
eaught in a belt in the Bushnell
warehouse in Junction City and she
was crushed to death.
His brother, Marcellus Pitney,
was shot and killed at Junction
City in September, 1895.
Mr. Pitney’s son, Otis Pitney, a
rural mail carrier out of Junction
City, was shot and killed by a fel
low hunter in the mountains near
Noti during the summer of 1922.
Frank Mowder, a nephew of Mr.
Pitney, was found dead beneath a
bridge near Junction City with a
bullet hole through his head a num
ber of years ago.
Raleigh Peyton, another nephew,
and his wife and two small children
were murdered last year nt Phoenix,
Ariz.
Mr. Pitney crossed the plains with
his parents in 1853 and had lived in
Lane county for nearly 68 years.
He was 75 years of age and is the
last of a large family except one
sister, who lives at Baker.

The interest that Cottage Grove
takes in Oregon’s forests, which
extends to the children, was illus

of the Portland office of the for
estry department, gave an address
before the high school assembly
upon forest protection. He remarked
that this was his first experience
of addressing pupils who were will

Commissioners Refuse to Resign and
Voters Will Act at Special
Election May 16
Bearing several hundred more
names than the law requires the re
call petitions against County Com
missioners Emmett Sharp and L. N.
Roney were filed Thursday last in
the office of County Clerk Bryson.
The names have been checked and
practically all were found to be
legal. The recall will go on the bal
lot, the commissioners having re
fused to resign. The special elec
tion will be held May 16 coincident
with the primaries, so that there
will be little additional expense.
The number of names on the
Roney petition as counted at recall
headquarters was 2901, according to
Charles M. Emery, secretary of the
recall committee, and the number on
the Sharp petitions was approxi
mately 100 more. The number of
names required was 2500.
Mr. Emery said that the petitions
came from all parts of the county
except from the Siuslaw country.
Quite a number of names were ob
tained in that section, ho stated,
but the report had been circulated
that the commissioners would hold
up road work in that part of the
county if petitions were sent in
from there, so they did not send
them in, it was stated.
The recall petitions charge waste
fulness and extravagance on the part
of both commissioners and that they
have discriminated against Lane
county merchants, contractors and
workmen in letting contracts. The
charges against both as set forth
in the petitions are about the same,
with the exception of one para
graph.

named as the candidate against
Roney. On account of prolonged ill
ness, Mr. Miller asked that his
name be withdrawn. Petitions are
now out to name O. E. Crowe, of
Lorane, in Mr. Miller's plaee.
The commissioners had the privi
lege of resigning within five days
from the date of the filing of the
recall petitions, but refused to do
so. When the notice required by
law was served upon Commissioner
Sharp, he replied; "If I had any
thing to resign for I would have
resigned long ago. I have kept my
promise to give the people good
roads; what else could I dot”
Commissioner Sharp said he was
not worrying about the outcome of
the election. "If the voters see fit
to let me out, well and good, but if
they keep me in office I will con
tinue to build good roads and I will
keep them good. ’ ’ .
Commissioner Roney was not in
the office when the papers were

guns in the recent tournament. Of
these, two made perfect score* of

the ten was below 97.
Veateh won the O. N. Ford tro

Public Debate of Issues M
Any Time Anywhere.
A defy to anyone in Lane county
who opposes the recall to debate
publicly the questions involved has
been issued by W. L. Wheeler, chair
man of the county recall committee.
Mr. Wheeler’s general challenge
was issued following the refusal of
B. F. Keeney, county assessor, to
debate the merits of the recall from
the standpoint of the commissioners
who are under fire. Mr. Keeney had
been specifically challenged by Mr.
Wheeler several days before.
"We challenge anyone in Iucne
county to debate the recall at any
time and in any place,’’ said Mr.
Wheeler. " The committee will pro-
vide a speaker as soon as the chal-
longe is accepted.”

----------------------------------------------- «
Silk Creek, April 28.— (Special)
—E. M. Babcock met with an acci
dent Friday afternoon which might
have proved much more serious than
it did and the results of which were
peculiar. He had been at work with
a team on a piece of land across the
creek from his home.
Some time after Mrs. Babcock
called him for supper he came into
the house and said that he hud
been stunned but did not know how
it happened. He did not remember
what he had done with the horses,
although he had tied them up to the
fence out in the field, one in one
place and the other in another. He
Bab-
did not remember that Mrs. —
cock had called to him. When in
formed of the necident, Mrs. Bab-
cock remembered that when she
called to Mr. Babcock she thought
it odd that he was tying a lone
horse to the fence and that she
could not see the other one. As he
was acting natural, she did not pre
sum* that anything serious was
wrong.
After Mr. Babcock had lain down
for a while hiB memory returned
and he remembered that in chang-
ing the horses from one implement
to another the doubletree had
dropped against the horses’ heels,
frightening them aad that imme
diately thereafter he had struck the
ground and things went black be
fore his eyes. How he caught the
runaway horses he did not know
The following day Mr. Babcock and
his father found pie*es of the har

Mr. Babcock is now himself again
and suffered only a scratch on tho
left sido of his head and a lame

I ' DISCHARGES A REVOLVER; |
| | BANK HOLDUP VISIONED
♦---------------------------------------------
Officials gild employes of the
First National bank had a momen
tary vision Friday afternoon of a
sanguinary robbery of the institu
tion. A revolver kept in a drawer
ostensibly for protection, was acci
dentally discharged by Miss Evelyn
Veatch, one of the employes, who
was searching in the drawer for
some memoranda.
The bullet ranged downward
through the drawer into the cement
floor and ricocheted about but
struck no one. Papers in the drawer
were burned by the powder from
the weapon.
The revolver had bee n in the
bank some 20 years, probably had
not been examined iu that time and
had been almost forgotten. It had
been covered by some papers in the
drawer and when Miss Veat ch
moved the papers about or picked
them up it was discharged, although
she was certain she did not touch
the trigger.

Night before last W, J. Culver,
road superintendent of Marion coun
ty, told a gathering of Linn county
people what Marion county has
been doing in recent years in the
way of road building. It was a
story of real achievement that he
unfolded to his hearers.
Marion county now has a total of
137 miles of county pavement—not
state pavement. This 137 miles is
in addition to the pavement that
has been built by the state. It has
been built and paid for by Marion
county.
Added to her 137 miles of pave
ment, Marion county has 187 miles
of macadamized highway and this
year will build 25 miles more of
paved market road. That will give
her, by this fall, 162 miles of coun
ty-built pavement, or enough to
reach from McKenzie bridge to
Florence.
The cost of building these roads,
including grading nnd proper drain
age, Mr. Culver told his hearers
night before last, has run about
$5000 per mile where the grade had
to be built entirely new.
The cost for pavement has been
approximately $10,000 per mile_for
a pavement 18 feet in width, This
is $15,000 a mile for pnved high
ways. On the Coburg road, I.ano
county has spent a shnde less than
$10,000 per mile for a poor gravel
road.
Now as to finances. Marion coun
ty voted a bond issue of $850,000,
and each year has been making n
market road levy and using such
special levy and match money funds
as she could get. In return for this
money she has 137 miles of pnved
county highways and 187 miles of
standard macadam. This year sho
will get 25 miles moro of pavement.
As one reviews this achievement
it hurts to think what Lano county
might have had for her $2,000,000
and her subsequent market road and
special levy and match money. We
bad considerably more than twice
as much money as Marion, but we
have not the permanent highways
to show for it.
The trouble is that we listened to
a windy demagoguo who talked
about shedding his coat, spitting on
his hands and getting out and build
ing the roads himself just as soon
as he could wreck the organization
that was building real highways in
Lane county. We havo learned to
our cost that talk never yet built
a mile of good road.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS FUTURE
FINANCIAL CENTER
Roger Babson, Statistical Wizard,
Sees Great Development for
Pacific Northwest.
Residents of tho Pacific coast
are more than passively interested
in a prediction by Roger Babson,
recognized statistical wizard, who
predicts that the Pacific const is
the future financial center of Amer
ica, which means also of the
world. His prediction is as fol-
lows:
"All of these states (of the Pa
cific coast) should benefit from the
great change which is coming in
world commerce, which change will
transfer the center of trade from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean.
"Few people realize the great sig
nificance of this transformation. It
will be truly revolutionary in char
seter. New York, now the financial
center of tho western world, must
give up its supremacy, as has each
of the great cities of Europe in its
turn.
The cities of the Pacific coast
nre to become the great cities of
America. California, Oregon and
Washington are to become the rich
est and busiest of our 48 states.”
NUMBER 34
RALPH HAND FINALLY TAKES
YOKEL INTO CAMP
Defeat of Former Champion Is Most
Important Victory in Local
Man's Mat Career.
Tho most important victory in
his contest for championship honors
was Ralph Hand’s defeat Thursday
last of Mike Yokel, recent light
heavyweight
champion.
Hand
weighed in at 165 and Yokel at 175.
Hand had been ont of condition
for three weeks with a cold, which
made tho speed he showed all the
more remarkable. This was the
fourth meet of the two. Yokel had
previously won two straight match
es and Hand had won a handicap,
Hand put the former champion to
the mat both times with his famous
toehold, with which ho has won
practically every major match in
which he has been tho victor. In
both eases he slapped on tho hold
immediately following his being
put into what seemed a clangorous
position. For the first fall, which
the local man took in 26 minutes,
he grabbed Mike’s pedal extromity
from underneath, pulling tho foot
forward with his feet.
Yokel took the seeond full in 28
minutos with an airplane spin, the
first time that this method of pin
ning a man to the mat has been
demonstrated here. After tho two
1 ad wallowed ench other around on
the mat for 18 minutes tho Salt
Lake boy put Hand in the air
again, but the local man was on tho
lookout this time and used his feet
with such dexterity that he booked
the ropes, unbalancing Yokol and
both fell through the ropes into the
lips of spectators. A minute later
Hand had the former champ so tied
up in a toehold and face lock that
he eouldn’t wiggle.
Yokel admitted after the match
that he had nover before met a
wrestler who was such a master of
tho toehold. Yokel attempted sev
eral times to apply the same pun
ishment to Hand but Hand is as
dexterous in keeping out of that
particular hold as he is in plaster
ing it on. Yokel was unable to
clamp on any of his headlocks with
which he has before gotten the bet
ter of Hand.
Hand’s defeat of Yokol probably
will givo him another opportunity
to meet Champion Edwards.
Millard (Mike) Mosby was the
third man in the ring.
For tho preliminaries, six midgets
put on three mixed boxing and
wrestling matches. That between
George Eakright and George Har
rington was a draw, that between
Volney Hand and Ivan Harrington
went to Hand and that between
Paul Gordon and Dana McCargar
was a draw.
