LOCAL MERCHANTS SEEK
GOOD WILL OF FARMERS-
Raise $500 to Bear Half of Ex pen
Be of County Teams.
Business men of Oregon City met
in the parlors of the Commercial
club Wednesday afternoon and raised
in ten minutes to go towards a
fund of $400 which they have pledg
ed themselves to produce for the pur
pose of buying hitching posts. These
posts the merchants Dlan to install
on the various side streets leading
on main street, so mat iarmers com
ing to town to shop or trade may
leave their teams conveniently and
saieiy. ine action ot the business
men was an aftermath to the "har
mony" meeting of tha Live Wires at
Schubel Tuesday evening, and a still
further aftermath of Wednesday's
morning's Enterprise, which an
nounced in bighead-letters thaf'Busi
nessmen and Farmers Gather" re
ferring to the Schubel excitement.
The real business men of the city
who met Wednesday noon were not
exactly the happiest peoplo alive.
They were full of pep and ginger,
however, and a few minute ufter the
matter of providing hitching posts
was brought up somebody said:
"See here, the Live Wires have
been trying to get these hitching
posts for four months and they
havn't yet got even the holes. Let
us see what we can do."
The hat was then passed and cash,
checKS, pledges and promises to the
amount of $225 were piled in the
headgear within ten minutes. A
committee was then appointed to get
out and rustle $175 more, so that the
hitching posts could be acquired. By
six o'clock: at night practically all
this amount was pledged.
Then there was some speechifying.
Representative businessmen said
that what Oregon City needed was
to get acquainted with the farmers,
and to make the farmers feel that
there were folks down hero who were
interested in what the farmers were
doing.
"Wo don't want any harmony
meetings," said one of the speakers,
"we want reciprocity. The hitching
posts are a good start. We 11 put
them up so that a farmer can come
to town to trade and leave his horse
without getting arrested. Then we'll
do more, and wo'U show he farmers
that tho majority of Oregon City
people are human beings, that they
are not trying to boost hard-surface
road? onto the tanners, and that they
can go out and mix together with
out giving an imitation of a dog
fight. As a matter of fart tho far
mers around here don't yet know
what a fino bunch of people are to
be found in Oregon City, they have
only seen live wires sputtering and
snapping with sparks.
A committee ot business men
was appointed to wait on tho city
council and arrange for tho installa
tion of the hitclunir nosts that the
newly awakened boosters would buy.
un tne way to the council chamber
his committee raised its ante to $500
and decided that a shed with concrete
flooring would be bettor than hitch
ing posts, and this proposition was
put before the city dads. After
some discussion the council agreed to
pay as much towards the establish
ment of a shelter for farm rigs as
the businessmen would, and an ef
fort will be made to agree upon a lo
cation within a weeic.

PACIFIC MANAGER REMOVED
George J. Hall, for 8 years Manager,
Steps Down and Out
The Pacific Telephone Co. has or
dered the removal of George J. Hall
as manager of the company's busi
ness in this city, and Special Agent
Butcher has taken over the business
temporarily.
Mr. Hall gives the reasons for his
removal that farmers and "other
chronic kickers" have complained so
much that it made it necessary to
put in a new man to quiet them.

trying to make any kind of a fuss."
Alter the seizure had been duly
made Capt. Moshberger had the gov
ernor's proclamation tacked up on
tho porch of the tavern, ordered the
lights cut out, acquired the key to
the main door, and then settled down
on the verandah overlooking the
river for a moonlight smoke. He
was asked if he had been "among
thos present" at Copperfield.
The militiamen taking part in the
fore they settled down for the night,
Capt. Moshberger announced that
there would be no seizure of automo
biles, as threatened in disatcheps in
the Portland papers.
' Auto parties will be warned
away, that is all. I have no orders
to seize any cars nor hold any pris
oners. 1 am simply sent here to take
charge ot this property until I am
relieved, said he.
Clackamas county officials do not
teel overjoyed at the action takgn by
Governor West. County Attorney
Gilbert Hedges said that he felt th
matter entirely out of his junsdic
uon.
"I handled the suit here to annul
the charter of the Friars' Club," he
said, "and when i returned the com
plaint to the attorney general to be
amended 1 mado certain suggestions
that I hoped would be helpful to him
We did our part here, and now it is
un the hands of the governor,
bherilt J!J. T. Mass also lelt that
Ins shoulders were clear, though he
regretted that the - yernor had tak
en action that might make it appear
hate ounty ofliceils had not taken
due action.
"I closed the tavern twice." said
the sheriff. "1 have spent my own
money to obtain evidence against
tho place, and when I have found law
violations I have acted. In coniue-
tion with the county attorney I was
investigating tne manner m wnien
his club was running the place when
uio suit to annul tne charter was
commenced. I never had any evi
deuce that there was lawbreakmg un
der the club management, and with
out evidence I cannot act."
Following tho seizure of the tav
ern, Aiihvaukie was about the quiet
est town in the county. The two sa
loons, usually the scenes of a reas
onable amount of trade in the even
mg, were practically deserted. One
of the hotels there where a grill is
maintained, was all dark save for the
office, ami shades rolled high show
ed only deserted rooms within. The
gnll itself was dark and deserted
Only a few people were on the
streets, and none of these seemed to
be in tho least bit interested as to
proceedings at the tavern. At the end
of the bridge over Johnson's creek
there was a gathering of perhaps
nan a dozen people, who looked thru
tho darkness at the tavern from
distance of several hundred feet, and
who did not seem to want to go any
nearer.

PROPERTY OWNERS ASK CITY
TO PATCH UP OLD SURFACE
Rock-crusher Purchase Discussion is
Postponed by Clever Dodging
Meeting for the first regular ses
sion in May, the city council had a
somewhat stormy session Wednes
day evening, many things seeming to
worry the membefa Present.. h'nl.
lowing the report of Chief Shaw, of
wie ponce department, the council
instructed the head of the force to
serve no more buns and coffee to ho
boes as early morning refreshment
before the "turn-out." Mild weather
was given as the excuse for letting
tne aruters rustle tneir own grub.
A protest from pronertv owner
on Main street against the repaying
of that thoroughfare, and a request
from the same petitions that the city
patch up the bad spots at the expense
of the general fund, brought on the
f .' .. : i . . e j i ...
jiiiai, excitement oi tne evening.
Councilman Hackett moved that the
suggestion of the property owners be
carried out, and Van Auken and
Metzner seconded the idea.
"When the property owners come
in here and ask us to do that, they

opined Councilman Templeton. Coun
cilman Long said it was an outrage
to ask the city to spend any more
money on Main street in its present
shope. Councilman Meyer cited one
bit ot repairing that had alone cost
$6,000; and City Engineer Noble said
it would cost at least $6,000 now to
put the street in shape.
Councilman Hackett said that the
councilmen were the servants of the
property owners and should obey
their wishes. Councilman Metzner
said that if the property owners
wanted a patched street, thev ought
to have it.
Several councilmen recalled that
the "life" of Main street had been
declared expired two years ago, and
and this moved' Mr. Templeton to
say:
"That being the case, I do not be
lieve that the city should now pay a
single cent for Main street."
Mayor Jones entered the fray and
expressed strong disapproval of the
stand of the property owners, and
suggested that the city engineer be
instructed to prepare plans for he re
surfacing of the street and adver
tise for bids.
Mr. Hackett's motion carried af
ter three votes and a roll-call had
been taken, Councilmen Andrews,
Van Auken and Metzner supporting
him, and Councilmen Long, Meyer
and Templeton opposing.
Request of residents on Summitt
and Bellevue streets for a sidewalk
was turned down at the suggestion
of Councilman Templeton. Appli
cation to lease a vacant lot owned by
the city on Monroe street, between
Fifth and Sixth, by a woodyard firm,
was referred to the street committee
with power to act.
City Attorney Schuebel gave an
opinion regarding a threatened in
junction against the Jones rock
crusher as a nuisance should the city
buy it, saying that he did not believe
an injunction would be granted.
Councilman Metzner was sure that
one could be obtained, and said with
some heat:
'Go ahead and buy it if you want
to, but, we will get an injunction
against its operation just the same."
Councilman Templeton made a
number of efforts to get the ques
tion of the purchase of the dock
crusher and an auto truck before the
council, but the matter was grace
fully and skillfully shunted along un
til the hour of adjournment, and no
action was taken.
The Main Street improvement mat
ter came up again in a new guise,
and after a lively five minutes was
laid over until the same special
meeting on motion of Mr. Temple
ton. The seme fate befell an ordi
nance fixing the license fees for auto
trucks, drays and other vehicles.
Renewal or refusal to renew the li
cense of a pool hall in Elyville was
also shunted off for a week after a
lively scrimmage.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Pulp and Paper Co., ran to their aid,
when the timber on which they were
standing gave way and all were"
plunged into the water. Ernest Hopp
seized the younger woman and clung
to a pier of the bridge until help ar
rived. The broken timber fell across
the other woman, and the swift cur
rent held her about three feet under
water. Dan Finucane swam to her
assistance and after extricating her
with considerable difficulty, held her
until he was able to reach the up
turned boat. After drifting about
two hundred yards farther another
row boat came to their rescue. The
woman had been under water so long
that she was unable to help herselt
and they could not lift her into the
boat nor take her from the water un
til they reached the shore.
Young Finucane, greatly imperil
ed his own life in saving that of the
woman, and witnesses of the accident
are preparing a statement asking
that the deed be given proper rec
ognition and a Carnegie medal
awarded.
Lester Miller's leg was caught by
the broken timbers, and he received
injuries which confined him to his
home for a few days.

Enterprising City Still After Road
Taxes Collected Within Limits
Some months ago Gladstone asked
the county court then in office to re
fund to it approximately $3,500 col
lected in the two- preceding years as
road taxes within its corporate lim
its. Judge Beatie and Commissioner
Blair and Mattoon had apportioned
this money to workon the highways
east and north of Gladstone, but res
idents of that city declared that they
needed it for the improvement of
their own streets. The matter was
finally carried into court, and Glad
stone won her contention.
Following the recall and the chan
ge in the county court the matter got
lost track of, and during the winter
all street improvement was suspend
ed in Gladstone anyway. With the
return of good weather, however,
Gladstone wants to surface a number
of her streets, and is looking for the
$3,600 due her from her own taxes.
To bring the matter to a head Glad
stone has obtained a writ of manda
mus on the county court from Circuit
Judge Campbell, and the question
will be gone over in court on Thurs
day. The county court has been cit
ed to appear and show cause why the
money should not be paid over.
Gladstone has its own gravel pit
and an extensive street paving and
maintenance department, well eqip
ped with apparatus, and the old road
tax money is wanted for the upkeep
of this department and for the ex
tension of street improvements with
in the city.
