HURRIED ACTION IS TAKEN Order Restraining Votes of Three Councilmen is Dis solved By Judge Frazier. The Oregon Water Power & Rail way Company ordinance granting a 35 year freight franchise over Main street, waa tied up Saturday night by County Judge Ryan, who granted a temporary injunction restraining the whole body of councilmen from pass ing the ordinance. The plaintiff in the case is E. G. Caufield, who has led the fight against the measure, and the allegations are substantially the same as in the complaint of William Andresen, who obtained from Judge Frazer,of Multnomah county, a re straining o-der enjoining Councilmen Chapman, Mason and Justin fremvot ing on the ordinance, ou the ground NOW COMES THE SEASON WHEN THE AUTOMOBILE LOOKS COMPARATIVELY INNOCENT. Hoy CASUALTY CIST. that they were employed by the com pany and had interosts at stake to sub serve. This order was dismissed late Saturday afternoon by Judge Frazer, and the council mot in adjourned ses sion 20 minutes before the usual meet ing hour, and attempted to pass the ordinance. In the meantime, Attorneys Gilbert L. Hedges, O. W. Easthani aud Bruco O. Onrry hurriedly drew up a new complaint, and seonring the presence of Judge Ryan and County Clerk F. W. Greenman at the courthouse, filed the papers and secured the injunction. Copies were placed in the hands of Sheriff John K. Shaver, and that offi cial prooeeded to the council chamber where Recorder Walter Dimick was in the act of reading the ordinance for the second time. He waited nntil the reading was finished aud announced -tha he had an ordor from the Court that he desired to read. Mayor Som mer informedthe sheriff that he was out of order but the officer of the law proceded to carry out the instructions of the court, and after a speeoh from Councilman E. D. Kelly the council adjourned. City Attorney Griffith, instead ot waiting patiently for the nautral out come of affairs, boarded an electri" car early Monday morning and went to Portland, where he communicated with Judge McBride, but that gentlo man, stating that he had troubles enough in his circuit to occupy his at tention, agreed to turn the matter over to Judge Frazier, who late Sat urday afternoon dissolved the tempor ary order restraining three councilmen from voting on the ordinance. Judge frazier came to Oregon City Monday afternoon, ready and willing to hear argumentjon the proposition, but Mr. Oanfield's attorney's pleaded with his honor, and succeeded in get ting a continuance until next Satur day at 3 o'olock. - Z Theso depvelopmeuts place a new aspect on the controversy and there is reason to believe that Judge Frazier will dissolve the new injunction, aB the allegation are very similar to the former one. If the anticipated action is taken, it is hardly probable that the opponents of the measure will lie down, after having gone so far, but will exhaust every means to procure the defeat of the franchise.

LIBRARIES FOR RURAL DISTRICTS. Miss Marvin Working to Secure Appro priation for 50 Collections. Miss Cornelia Marvin secretary 'of the State Library board, is arranging circulating libraries to be sent to sev eral rural districts. Owing to the fact Chicago Record-Herald. that the legislature did not provide any money for the purchase of books, Miss Marvin has to depend on the generosity of friends of the movement to provide. libraiies. Thirty states maintain state library boards, and purchase books for oircu eation among the people. Of the West ern states, California has 120 libra ries, with 6000 volumes; Colorado, 122 libraries, with (SOOO volumes; Idaho, 1C0 libraries, with 6000 volumos. In these states all the books are pur chased by state appropriations, Ic is the ambition of Miss Marvin so to demonstrate the utility of circulating libraries that when the next legisla ture meets there will be no difficulty in proouring an appropriation large enough to enable the board to put at least 50 libraries in circulation, Pain may go by the name of rheuma tism, neuralgia, lumbago, plenrisyo.

NO FIGHT FOR MAYORALTY Six Men Cast Their Gloves Into the Arc; a and Aspire to the Council From Second Ward. Politics will out no figure in the coming municipal elootinn, as every issue has been lost sight of save one, and that one is the Oregon Water Power & Railway Oompauy. Every candidate for the offices of mayor and councilmen will be lined up ou this proposition alone, and no wavering position will be tolerated by the vot ers. K. G, Cauflold is tho only mayor alty candidate that lms como to the front thus far, and tliero is no man in Oregon City who docB not know Mr. Caufield's attitude on local matters, and particularly railway mattors. In the third ward petitions tiro out fnr J. N. Harrington aud O. M. Mason. The latter is the presout in cumbent, and both petitions are being nnmoronsly signed. Throe years ago Mr. Mnson beat J. H. Howard in the third wnrd by a small majority. Mr. Koorner, who resides in the first ward, has signified hie intontion of making the race to sucoced himself, and a petition is out in that ward for him. Developments in the fight for coun cilman in tho second ward indicate that the anti-frauohise people will support Ernest P. Rands Bnd William 11. Logus aud that Eli Maddock, Jo seph Lynoh and Suai il Konke will be prevailed upon to twithdraw. This statement, however, oannot befsaid to be absolutely aocuratebnt there is no doubt that an effort will be made to reduce the number of anti-franchise candidates to two, in order to avoid the danger of defeat by scattering the strongth on five candidates. The franchise men will support Council man Champan solidly, and it is stated that E. D. Kolly, who was eleoted to oooupy ex-Councilman's Sheahan'r cliuir until January, will be induced to beoome Mr, . Chapman's juouiot,' mate. ' Many people have been wondering why 5fr. Rands hns consented to be-' ooin o a oandidnt.e for counnilman, his election necessitating his abandonment of the position ot city engineer, which pays something like $400 a year. This question was put to Mr. Rande and he said that while there was some money in the position, lio certainly was put ting in all of the time he was paid for, and that he could easily use that time to pecuniary advantage to hiuiHolf in other work oonnected with his profes sion, Jack R. Caufield, representing ' the younger eloment in local government, is a candidate for city treasurer, and it is understood that Mr. Moyer will not be a candidate to suoneed himself. Mr. Caufield's petition is in circula tion, and is the only one out up to this time. CROWDED TO THE DOORS. Halloween Entertainment of King's Daughters of St. Paul's Church. Crowded and packed to its doors was the Armory Friday night on tho occasion of the Halloween entertain ment by the King's Danghters of the Episcopal church. The largo number of young folks participating in the program guaranteed the attendance of mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers without numbor. Every part of the program was arrangod .with care, aud the Mother Goose Lanciers was an espocial feature that ploasod the large audionoe. ,The witches and spooks were taking, and the two chorus songs, "Any Rags," and "Rock-a-by-Baby, " were enthusiastically enoored. Miss Ethol Jackson rendered an instru mental solo, and the program olosed with the GypHy Danoo, which was very stately and graceful. Refreshments were , served by the King's Daughters and dancing was indulged in nntil a late hour. The Armory was appropriately decorated for the occasion. CONTRACT FOR CROSSINGS LET.
