At a meeting of the citizens of
Claokauias ubuut$ ho r'lftntarested
in the movement to cuMrfis county in
small bits and annex to-Multnomah,
whicli was held in the parlorB of the
Cointueroial Olnb in this city Friday
evening, a committee or board of di
motors was elected with George La
zelle as president, who will bave foil
charce of the work of properly put
ting tlie matter before the people of
the state. Steps will De taneu im
mediately to get the subject before
the voters in a true ana unDiaseu
licht. A committee of three, oom
posed of A. L. Beatie, W. A. Hnntley
and M. D. Latourette, was aproiuted
to solicit fundsud they have been
termed the "Live WireB." Sufficient
fands will be placed in the hands of
the board of directors and President
Lazelle. who will enter the fight with
the aid of the county folk at large
back of them and a determination lo
let Clackamas county remain 111 its
present geographical state.
Attorney Frans. B. Itiloy, of Port
laud, who is very familiar with the
scheme, was present aud had much to
say upon the subject.
"It means a less eifective improve
ment of what we have already. They
attempt to make the couter Hue of the
Clackamas river the new southern
boundary of Multnomah. That stream
is not navigable, has no center line,
hut has a channel that shifts and as
an attempted boundary would prove a
source of endless and vexatious dis
pute and eontentious litigation be
tween the two jurisdictions," he said.
"The sins that Butte oreek has to
answer for as a boundary line between
Marion and Multnomah counties
should prove a warning for all time
to come. Multnomah is jnst discov
ering, too, that she will have to seg
regate, copy, compare, certify and
record one-half of all the Clackamas
records, which, by the way are the
oldest and most voluminous in Ore
gon, save those of Multnomah. The
magnitude aud the cost of this labor
by experts to be paid for by Multno
mah and the attending confnBion in
titles is booomiiig apparont. Inciden
tally the Multuomah taxpayer also
notes that he is to assume and liqui
date a big proportion of the present
indebtedness of Clackamas.
"The fact that the voter in the Des
chutes aud in Tillamook City has a
vote of equal value to yours aud mine
on this question affecting only our
two counties is another surprising

DATA SECURED
Communication to Major
Mclndoe of Great Value
to tne Willamette
Valley.
The work of the Open River Asso
ciation in getting the people of the
Willamotte valley iuto the harness
and securing results toward the open
iug of the Willamette river iB daily
being manifested, and following the
working of the government engineers
about the locks and the preliminary
work on seouring data concerning the
deepening ot the channel from this
city to Portland, the committee from
the Commercial Olub in this oity have
collected considerable data to assist
in bringing about the desired results.
This committee is composed of Judge
Thomas F. Ryan, J. E. Hedges and
J. W. Moffatt, appointed by the Com
mercial Club to furnish the Uuiled
States engineora with material rela
tive to the present commerce of the
Willamette river, .its charaoter,
amount and valuo; future commerce
due in part to an improved waterway;
present navigation, kind of boats,
draft, etc. ; wharves aud wharf area,
and utilization of water power whioh
would be developed by improved
waterway, together with the opinion
of the business men of the oity as to
t' e nature of the improvement re
quired. The committee has just for
warded a communication to Major
J. F. Moludoe, of the United States
Eneineer Department at Portland,
containing the following information :
"The present commorce as we find
it consists of merchandise, building
material, raw material, wool, aye-
stuffs, pine, woolen foods, machinery,
lumber, shingles, leather, farm and
orchard products, pulp, paper, logs,
etc. (annually), as follows:
Willamette Puln & Paper Co , 281
900 tons; Crown Paper Co., 49,800
tons : Hawlev Paoer & Pulp Co., 49,
700 tons: Oreeon City Woolen Manu
facturing Co., 1000 tons; P. F. Mills
Co., 8(100 tons; foundiy, machine
shop, etc, 0000 tons; merchandise,
25,250 tons; building material, ce
ment, etc, 4100 tons; produce, stock,
etc, 11, o00 tons; miscellaneous, 1000
tons; total tonnage per annum,
482,950.
"The obstructions to the navigation
of the river at Clackamas Rapids re
quires the shipment by rail at certain
seasons of the year oi nearly the en
tire tonnage above let out, and proba
bly makes necessary the shipment of
more than 60 per cent of the entire
tonnage per year, as contracts are
necessarily made in many instances
for the eutire year, and not for the
periods when the river is closed, and
also has in many instances prevented
the increasing of the capacity of es
tablishments. 'Second. The future commeroe
tributary to the river with an im
proved waterway of a minimum depth
of 8 to 10 feet between tlie two cities
in the opinion of the manufacturers,
business men and property owners
interviewed by your committee would
be greatly increased, as under such
an assured condition of water trans
portation, it would not be many years
until both banks of tlie river between
Uregon City and Portland would be
thickly lined and studded with manu
facturing establishments and splendid
suburban homes, whioh added to the
enlarged manufacturing industries of
Uregon Oity, whioh jvould most
surely result from such favorable con
ditions for shipping in and out and
increased water power, and the in
creasing productiveness of lands trib
utary to this shipping point, cannot
fail to make the future commeroe of
this oity aud points between here and
Portland many hundred per cent
greater than the commerce of today.
"Thirtl. The present navigation of
the river is very unsatisfactory, as
owing to the obstructions at the
Clackamas rapids, it is confined to
boats of small draft, slow speed and
limited tonnage, and at present is rep
resented by the three stern wheelers :
Oregona, 14-inch draft, 150 tons ; Huth
28-inch draft, 175 tons and the N. R.
Lang, 24-inch draft. 250 tons. These
steamers, with the assistance of barg
es for oil, cement, gravel, etc, and
the occasional service of a few other
steamers, take care of nearly all the
present river traffic of consequents.
There are a few gasoline launches
and boats in use, but the condition at
the rapids does not invite the placing
of any of them in actual commission
between the two oitiei, and makes
their usage practicable only between
points below the mouth of the Clack
amas and Portland.
"Formerly much of the passenger
travel between Oregon Oity and Port
land was by river bouts, .amounting in
the years 1891 and 1892 to more than
125,000 persons anually, 90,000 of
whom were carried by the regular
Oregon Oity boats and 85,000 by the
O. K. & N. Company and independent
boats. As no reliance could be placed
upon the schedule time between the
two cities, owing to the fact that fre
quently the boats were detained for
hours trying to overcome tlie rapids,
the tralllo and travel was diverted to
the railways, aud the passenger traffic
is now confined to touristB and those
who live along the banks of the river.
It is tlie opinion of all whom your
committe bave interviewed upon this
phase of the question that an im
proved waterway with a minimum
depth of eight feet, would result in
the placing upon this route larger and
swifter boats, and the passenger tra
vel would be many times the 125,000
annaully of 20 years ago between
these two cities, added to which
would be the travel of the many
thousands we hope and believe under

Loss Last Week
Thursday night between 12 :80 and
1:30 the lumber mill belonging to
diaries Moennke, about one mile
above the falls, on the bank of the
Willamette river, was completely de
molished by fire, whioh started in the
engine room. The amount of the loss
is $10,000, a large amount of finished
lumber being destroyed. Before the
Oregon City fire department arrived
the plant was entirely destroyed, Mr.
Moehnke has-been in the lumber busi
ness in the same location for a num
ber of years, the name of the firm

TAYLOR. THE EVANGELIST heard
Every .Night at. Big Tabernacle
such a condition would be living
along the river bewteen here ana
Portland.
"Fourth. In the matter of wharves
and wharf areas, your committee finds
a well developed sentiment in favor of
the construction of publio docks,' pro
vided the river be Improved so that
the use of the same could be continu
ous and reliable; at the present time
three are docks here used and owned
by the W. P. & P. Oo., the Crown
Paper Mill and the Haw ley Paper
& Pulp Company. There is alno tlie
dock and wharf ereoted hy the O. O.
Transportation Company upon laud
rented from the corporation of Oregon
City; Frank liusoh, a prominent
merchant and shipper, proposos to
erect a dock in front of hit property
at or between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets ; there are a number of places
where publio docks could be plaoed
upon property under control of the
corporation of Oregon City, and in
the event of the improvement of the
river as outlined heretofore, there is
but little doubt that publio sentiment
wonld demand that the oity ereot and
maintain docks for publio usage.
"Fifth. In the matter ot reliable
information concerning the increased
water cower that would be developed
by suoii an improved waterway, we
feel that yon are in position to know
the ezaot condition that the lowering
of the water by the removal ot tlie ob
struction or dam at th Clackamas
rapids will cause as it will probably
increase the bead at the iaiis irom two
to three feet, whiuh now developing
horsepower. of 10,000 under about 40-f t
head at low' water, would be quite ma
terially inoreased by tlie addition of
several feet more head.
'We trust you will excuse us fortius
lengthy letter, and in conclusion will
simply call your attention to the great
handicap plaoed upon the manuafao
turing establishments of Oregon. City
by the present condition of tlie river
at the Clackamas rapids. Thousands
of tons of logs are taken from the low
er river, placed on cars, conveyed by
rail from two to six miles and then
returned to the water in the upper riv-
er.iinoreasing the cost of getting them
into thelmillsneanly $20,000 per year.
In addition to this, during the sum
mer months the said mills are compel
led to load more than 250 tons a day
upon their boats, taking the same ac
ross the upper river to a landing upon
the Southern Paciflo Railway, and
there unload and again ship the same
bv rail, making a double handling,
and then shipping at many times the
cottt of river transportation, as well
as much loss of time. At the present
time one of the said mills is about
to construct a railway of some five
miles in length in order to transport
their logs around the rapids, kwmon
with such an improved waterway as
contemplated would have enabled
them to bring their logs right up to
their mills at a fraction ot tlie expense
now required.
"The businessmen, property owners
and manufacturers of Oregon Cy
are a unit in the belief that with an
improved waterway between Oregon
City and Portland, assuring a depth at
low water of eight feet, and with a
new and up-to-date system of locks
between the upper and lower river,

Vandals' Work
Some unknown nnrsnna with nvtl
designs have torn down the card signs
that were taoked up along Seventh
street advertising tlie tabernaole meet
ings iu this city. t This disreputable
work ooourred Friday and Saturday
nights. Whoever these base and un
principled beings are, they will un
doubtedly regret their acts ot vandal
ism in short order, as the city author
ities have been notified aud. efforts are
being made to spot them out. Such
work as this is only the greater assis

teiug carried on with great foroe in
this oity.
O. W. P. Car Derailed
The six-thirty elootrio car out of
Portland on the O. W. P. Ry., Thurs
day evening oollided with a horse, on
a short trestle just north of Glad
stone, derailing tlie front trucks of
the car, and shaking up the passen
gers oonsidorably, but causing no fur
ther damage except the killing of the
animal. Trains were 1 delayed for
aboutfthree hours and passengers were
transferred around the wreck. It is
undertsood that the headlight of the
dorailod car was.not in good trim and
iiad been out a portion of tlie way
from Portland, aud that the roadbed
was in darkness at that point.
There is a very sharp ourve at this
point and had it not been for the
trailer whiuh was attached to the
rear, and which acted as a drag, the
head car would liavo been thrown
over into the ditoh with probable ser
ious results.

WOODEN AWNINGS
MUST COME DOWN
The old wooden awnings that have
been stretohing out over the sidewalks
throughout this oity must come down
and that before Ootober 18th, is the
edict given out by the oounoil at a
speoial meeting held Wednesday
night, and Ulaot ot Police Burns
made the rounds of the oity notifying
all who might be interested in the
ordinance. The ordinance also oalls
for the taking down of all signs that
protrudo out over the walks, and these
are ordered to be plaoed fiat against
the buildings. This ordinance is
meating with the approval of all the
oitizens, as it is another step towards
the city beautiful.
whereby larger boats could go in the
minimum of time from below to
above the falls, the prestige of this
great Willamette river would be as
sured, not only as a regulator of tralllo
but also as a factor in the develop
ment of the Willamette valley that
would induce capital Ito seek it, and
thus assist in making it the queen
valley of the Northwest."

In the afternoon the meeting was
used for resolutions and disoussions.
The question of most importance was
that of Olackamas-Multnoman annexa
tion. One noticeable feature was the
faot that tlie Grangers from the north
of the Clackamas were opposed to an
nexation and helped to pass the fol
lowing resolution :
"Be it resolved that the Olaokamas
Oounty Distriot Pomona Grange does
hereby appeal to the voters of the
county to cast an intelligent vote upon
the .proposed' Olaokamas -Multnomah
annexation at the, November election ;
believing that the failure to vote may
allow tlie passage of this annexation
Boheme to the detriment of the people
of this oounty. "
In view of the faot that the en
dorsement of the State Grange of tlie
amendment pertaining to the restric
tions on the amount of Indebtedness a
oounty may incur for road building,
was uuianieu uuunr quesuouauie
oiroumstanoes, the Olaokamas County
Pomona Orange passed resolutions
disfavoring this act. Also the Webstar

no limit as to the expense that may
be Incurred.
Twenty candidates were initiated

ThiB Pomona inoludes eighteen

is of muoh importance to the farmers
and consequently the 'aotion of this
