This would give them the city and state by from 7100 to 9100. The leg islature seems to be safely Demo cratic. Democrats Win In New York. NEW YORK. Nov. 8 What inter est there was In Tuesday's election was over the result of the Republican and Independence League fusion in New York County, the showing made by the Independence League in its fight against the Identical tickets of the Republicans and Democrats for Associate Justices of the Court of Ap peals, and the makeup of the next State Assembly. Fusion failed in New York County, the straight Democratic ticket being elected with majorities of from 30,000 to 35,000. Thomas F. Foley, Demo cratic candidate for Sheriff, defeated Max F.

KNAPP MAKES AFFIDAVI Fight Over Excise Ordinance Takes Exciting Turn Dr. Brougher To Talk Here Next . Monday Night. Continued on page 8 The saloonkeepers of Oregon City are Indignant over the assertions of. W. S. U'Ren, C. Schuebel, C. H. Dye and John W. Loder, as reported an open letter made public Saturday, Albert Knapp, who conducts a saloon on Main street between Seventh and Eighth streets, states that there absolutely no truth in the charge that liquor dealers have threatened to boycott the business men who sign ed the initiative petition to present the proposed excise ordinance to the voters of Oregon Ctfy at the December election. Mr. Knapp is a member of the city council from the second ward and is president of that body. The men who signed the open letter say they are ready to prove by sworn affidavits that some of the liquor deal ers not only withdrew -their custom from the merchants who attached their signatures to the initiative, but threatened to drive them out of bust ness. In the event of the saloon men rtfimnndinar this nroof. .sensational de velopments are likely To follow, as it is said that some of the leading mer chants are involved. The liquor dealers are playing a defensive game, and believe they are a persecuted people. In the last six months they have suffered three ser ious blows from the municipal gov ernment at their trade. The first of these was the ordinance closing the saloons at midnight; when the former hour was 1. A. M. On the heels of this order came the 50 per' cent increase in the annual license fee, which was increased from $400 to $GO0. No great howl was made over these restric tions, but when Mayor Caufield de elded to enforce the state and city aws relative to Sunday closing, the last straw came tumbling down. The excise ordinance places the saloons on the same plane as other lines of business, and compels the traffic to be carried on in one room, with the bar in plain sight of people who may nass the place. No screens are per mitted on the glass fronts, there are to be no private rooms, no free lunch no chairs, tables or musical instru ments, and in short tne saloon is w be made a place where one may go In in full sieht of the public gaze. Councilman Knapp furnished the dailv sensation In the fight on the ex cise nrdlnanco Monday by making an affidavit before W. S. U'Ren, one of the men who charged the saloonkeep ers with threatening to boycott the men who had signed the initiative Keep Bright Will Keep and You usy B fpLECTRIC LIGHT is the magnet that draws trade. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the the at traction of a brilliant, Electrically lighted store than resist the clarion call of a brass band. Is your competitor with the Electrically illluminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Electric Sign getting an advantage over you ? The moth never flutters around the unlighted candle ! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain open after dark or riot. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Electric light will make many a sale "the night before." Electric light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail, and fabrics in their true colors. And don't neglect the Electric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every m.oment it is lighted burning your name in the public mind. It is a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little. Portland Railway, Light &?ower Co. e. G. MILLER, Agent Oregon Gity, Oregon petition to place the ordinance before the voters at the December election. Upon the heels of the affidavit C. Schuebel visited some of the mer chants who are reported to have suf fered from a withdrawal of the trade of the saloon men, and he said that he had confirmed the reports. The afli davit made by Mr. Knapp defines his position on the local question and follows: "I, Albert Knapp, being first duly sworn, say: I keep a saloon in Oregon City and have done so for about 14 years last past. Referring to the re cent letter signed by C. H. Dye, C Schuebel, J. W. Loder and W. S. U'Ren, charging the saloon keepers' organization with boycotting, threat ening and intimidating business men or others who signed the initiative pe tition for or ravor me proposed excise ordinance for Oregon City, I desire to say that I have attended every meeting or our organization referr ing to this matter, and that the or ganization has never proposed or con sidered any, such action, nor has it even been mentioned In our meetings, nor in any or tnem. it individual saloonkeepers have withdrawn their patronage from any such persons. I know nothing about it. "A. KNAPP. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 4th day of November, 1907. "W. S. U'REN, "Notary Public for Oregon." Following the affidavit of Council man Knapp, the following open letter was issued Tuesday: Messrs. Dye, Schuebel, Loder and U'Ren, replying to Mr. Knapp's affi davit, say that he does not deny their charges, but only professes his Igno rance., If the saloonkeepers' organiza tion wants a bill of particulars as to which of their -members have boycot ted, threatened or tried to intimidate business men of Oregon City It will be furnished with great pleasure for publication. C. H. DYE, C. SCHUEBEL, J. W. LODER, W. S. U'REN. The open letter that has stirred up considerable fuss reads: To those citizens and business men of Oregon City who are not afraid to do business in daylight; "Why do the saloonkeepers fight the proposed excise ordinance by boy-, cottlng, threats and Intimidations? . "Why do they resort to such meth ods if they can show any line or rule In the ordinance that is not for the public good? "Are they still selling liquor to mi nors? Are they secretly running gamb ling games and machines, behind their darkened windows and walls? Are they making money by secret violations of the law, Which they must lose if they are obliged to do their business as publicly as a bank does? "If they are not doing these things, why does their organization attack the right of initiative by intimida tions, threats and boycotts against business men who signed the initia tive petition for the excise ordinance or whom they suspect of being friend ly to the measure? They have gone so far as to threat en the boycott against a business man unless his wife should cease to ad vocate the approval of the ordinance. "They have threatened to drive any business man out of town who favor ed the ordinance, "Eight instances of such threats and boycotts are already known. But the ordinance only compels the liquor-sellers to do what other business men do without an ordi nance. It requires that their business must be visible from the street and sidewalk through clean glass fronts; that they shall close at reasonable hours and not open Sundays; that they must not allow drunkards, mi nors or women about their saloon, nor furnish seats and tables, music, games or free lunches, nor be connect- with other rooms for entertain ment, and that they must give $5000 bonds to obey the law. No honest man is hurt by being watched. If the saloonkeepers are truly keeping the law, why do they fear light on their business? The honest liquor-dealer has nothing to fear, but much to hope from this or dinance, because its enforcement will far toward making his criminal competitors obey the law or go out of business. "The saloonkeepers' organization In Oregon City is evidenUy controlled by men whose ways of doing business cannot bear the light. If it were other wise its members would not seek to destroy the initiative and defeat the excise ordinance by force with boy cotts and threats, instead of by reason. "The excise ordinance is intended to turn on the light, and the President said that was all ho did on the corrupt corporation methods. "If the saloonmen defeat this ordi nance by threats and boycotts it will encourage other combinations of men to use the same weapons to destroy the people's power of initiating laws. "Therefore we ask every man and woman In Oregon City to read and study carefully every line of the pro posed ordinance. "C. H. DYE, "W. S. U'REN, "JOHN W. LODER, "C. SCHEUBEL."

The Socialist organization of Clack amas County resumed its Winter meetings Sunday In Knapp's hall. The attendance was light and little of in terest was done, but plans were made for regular meetings on the first Sun day in each months, ine socialists expect to place a ticket in the field In the county election ne June. ec- William Dickenson, John Dicken son, J. M. Dickenson, Walter St. Clair, John Riley and Earl Ransier have been arrested on a charge of murder ing Bhlngwan Singh, the Hindu, who was shot at Boring last Thursday night. A warrant is out for the ar rest of Vernon Hawes, who has not yet been located. The party of seven men have been employed in lumber camps near Bor ing and resented the presence of the Hindus, who came to Jarl & Pagh Bros, sawmill last Wednesday morn Ing and asked for work. Bhlngwan Singh was given employment and his companions were permitted to occupy a shack near the mill, which Is locat ed about four miles south of Boring, in Eastern Clackamas County. Thursday was Hallowe'en and the seven men Implicated in the affair went to Sandy and after-'drinklng in a saloon there, discussed the presence of the Hindus in the lumber mill, and agreed to run them out. Procuring the weapons and ammunition they started for the mill, and taking a station on the side of the hill overlooking the shed where the foreigners were quar tered, they opened fire. Their weap ons consisted- of a 25-35 Marlin rifle, a revolver, a Winchester shotgun and a muzzle loading shotgun. More than a score of shots were fired from this battery by the men, who will not ad mit that they intended to Injure the Hindus. At first they fired high over the cabin, then amused them selves by sending bullets into the roof, and probably being disappointed because no outcry came from the frightened three, they took deadly aim and one of the bullets from the rifle struck poor Singh in the back, enter ing the thigh and shattering the bone. The rifle was in the hands oS its owner, William Dickenson, who was present with his brother, John, and their father, J. M. Dickenson. Singh gave a yell of pain, and the party fled to their homes. The shooting was heard by the Pagh brothers, who reside 300 feet from the shack, and they hurried to the scene. In one corner of the room crouched the two Hindus, terrorized, and on the floor lay Singh, bleeding and suffering from his wound. Dr. McElroy was called from Boring, and had the injured man removed to the Good Samaritan Hospital at Portland. He declined to permit the amputation of his limb , as advised by the surg eons, and it was thought Monday morning that his chances for recovery were good, but the shock was too great and he died that night. Justice of the Peace Jonsrud, of Kelso Precinct, and his son, Constable Jonsrud, lost no time In making an in vestigation. Both of them' were fam iliar with the circumstances surround ing the case and the younger Jonsrud went to the scene and picked up a pipe that he knew belonged to one of the seven men, and he also found the shells, and he recognized the copper sheathed bullets as commlng from the rifle of William Dickenson. 1 District Attorney Hedges and Dep uty District Attorney Ebv were noti fied and the latter went to Kelso on Monday and attended the preliminary hearing. Justice Jonsrud questioned the accused men closely and all of them told their stories, and at the end they were bound over In the sum of $250 each to answer before the Cir cuit Court. The Dlckensons, father and sons, were able to find bondsmen, but the St. Clair, Riley and Ranaler men were brought to this city and lodged In Jail. The hearing was held before the death of Singh and the charge against the seven men was that of assault with Intent to kill. While this charge is grave, it Is light compared with what the men will now have to face. J. M. Dickenson and his sons reside at Boring, where they are well known. The four other men are tran sients and were working in the mills. Attorney George C. Brownoll will de fend all of the men arrested. Constable Bert Jonsrud, of Kelso, Tuesday arrested J. M. Dickenson, and his sons, William Dickenson and John Dickenson, who are charged with the murder of Bhlngwan Singh The three men were brought here at 11 o'clock Tuesday night by the offic er and lodged in the county jail. Their companions in the county jail are Walter St. Clair, John Riley and Earl Ransier, who were arrested Monday on a charge of assault with a danger ous weapon with intent to kill. The six men were bound over to the Cir cuit Court by Justice Jonsrud Mon day In the sum of $250 each, and J. M. Dickenson and his two sons were able to furnish the required amount while the other three men went to Jail. There is a warrant also out for the arrest of Vernon Hawse, who so far has eluded the vigilance of the au thorities. The dead man's two companions are In Portland, and James Laldlaw, the British consul, will produce them whenever they are wanted to testify In the case. This Is the first murder charge that has been made in Clack amas county since the arrest and con viction and consequent execution of Charles Lauth, who shot a woman with whom he was infatuated in a house In the southern part of the city more than three years ago. followed by a dinner at noon. The spray pump that was recently awarded Maple Lane Grange Fair for second best exhibit at the County jrair, was placed into the hands of A. J. Lewis, and it will be rented by the members.

Despairing of ever being able to compel the present officers of Clack amas County to enforce the laws against gambling In the notorious Mll- waukle Club, citizens of Milwaukie, Oak Grove and other Buburbs south of Portland are agitating that the north ern portion of Clackamas County. In cluding that territory between the. present county line and the Clacka mas River be ceded to Multonomah County. Everything possible has been done by the law-abiding residents of Mil waukie and Oak Grove to compel the county officers, Sheriff Beattle and District Attorney Hedges of Clacka mas County to close down the Mil waukie Club, which Is being operated In open defiance of the laws. But so potent is the influence of the gamb lers over the Sheriff and District At torney that the law and the demands of the people have been merely laugh ed at. Goaded into action by the continued winking at crime by the county offi cers they have now decided that their only hope is in being ceded to Multo nomah County where the anti-gambling laws are enforced and some pro tection Is given against the law-breaking element. Roads In Bad Shape. Other good reasons are being ad vanced by residents of Milwaukie and Oak Grove why the country north of the Clackamas should be ceded to Multonomah County. At present the roads are in a disgraceful condition and the County Commissioners of Clackamas County will not appropri ate money to repair them. Roads leading to Oregon City are kept in rea sonably good condition, it is said, while the residents of the northern half of the county who do their trad ing in Portland are compelled to make their way as best they can. Most of the residents of Oak Grove are Portland business men who com mute dally. They are all anxious, it is said, to have the change in bound ary made. The farmers living In the district and who sell their products in Portland are also working to have the change made. B. Lee Paget, secretary of the Port land Trust Company and president of the Oak Grove Improvement Associa tion, has called a meeting of the resi dents of the northern part of Clacka mas County to be held in the Oak Grove school house when the ques tion of changing the boundary will be discussed. No sides have been taken by the Improvement association; the meeting is to be held so that the pro and con of the question can be dis cussed, and the sentiments of those Interested be ascertained. Mr. Paget has received several let ters from residents bearing on the proposed change. H. W. Inahall, pres ident of the Farmers' Mutual Fire Re lief Association, declares that he Is in favor of the change. Representative G. W. Prosser, of Oregon City, has written Mr. Paget a letter saying that while he recognized the justice of the Claims of the Milwaukie and Oak Grove people, yet he thinks the rest of Clackamas County cannot afford to lose the northern portion. Disgusted With Officials. "I recognize that the people living In the northern portion of Clackamas County would be hotter served by changing the boundary," he writes, "and later when Clackamas County Is out of debt I might bring it before the legislature, but at present Clackamas needs the people In the north to pay its taxes." That the sentiment of those people Is that they are merely being kept to help out in taxes is testified to by the following letter from F. A. Baumann, of Gresham: "Clackamas River Is the natural boundary. How a sane person could have established a different line be tween the two counties it is difficult to imagine. Not only would a change of boundary be of great benefit in many ways, but especially it would assist us by giving us road Improve ments. It would also be a decided advantage to the school system, as It wouiu leave the school district In Contiuucd on page 8 Farm For Sale Our business is to show investors that Clackamas , county farms are better investments than U.
