he owned property, through a mis
take in the assessor's office it was
not assessed to him, but to his wife.
Legal time for the polls to open
two in the afternoon had by this
time arrived, and Chairman Eby was
badly flustered. There was a hasty
consultation on the part of the board
members, and they finally decided
that the safest thing to do would be
to appoint another judge in Maar'g
place. Aetinir clerk Brodie. lookiny
to the fus9 that had gathered, spied
Frank Moore, father of one of the
judges whom he had found "inelli
gible," earlier in the dajr, and asked
him if he would serve. Mj. Moore
said he would, and was hastily sworn
and installed, after which Chairman
Eby declared the polls open ten
minutes later than the legal time.
Particular humor was added to
the situation by the current report
that Miss Moore and Mrs. Chapman
had boen found "inelligible" by Bro
die because they ,wre not friendly to
0, D. Eby, the retiring chairman, and
a candidate at the election to suceed
himself. Brodie's picking of Mr.
Moore, right after this, was regarded
as a sign or his highly rattled condit
ion especially as vigorous protest
had been made to him over his se
lection of the substitute judges pick
ed earlier.

JUDGE DIMICK HEADS
WILLAMETTE VALLEY It. K,
CITY MANAGER LIKED
Correspondent Offers Some Sugges
tions Regarding Mass Meeting
Editor Courier;
Various people I have met this
wees nave torn me that the mass
meeting called for Saturday night is
for the purpose of taking steps to
place Oregon City under commission
form of government. The call for
the mass meeting does not say it is
for that purpose, yet I gather from
the street talks I have heard, that an
effort will be made to build up a sen
, timent for commission rule. And to
that I want to voice a protest.
The Courier has suggested that
probably a salaried city manager
would be a good thing for our town,
and I believe the Courier is right. The
present council could engage such a
man, and I believe it ought to. But
as to choosing between the present
council as it is, and a commission
form of government give me the
council, even with its faults.
In the first place a commission
form of government is too great a
centralization of power for a demo
cratic community. It is the rule of
a handful of men, who, while thev
may be held responsible for what Is
done in their departments, can never
theless do just about what they
please until they are recalled.
I have seen commission rule in Ta
coma and in North Yakima, and in
Spokane, Wn., and in all three cities
the rule has been worse than under
councilmanic control. Under the
commission form of government "big
business" has always got what it
wanted, and the common man ;
small taxpayer has got the laugh and
hollow promises. In Portland they
have had commission rule long
enough to got sick of it, and there is
recall talk in the air, and also talk
of going back to a common council
again. In fact there is no city whicn
has adopted commission government
that is satisfied with it, save In
those cities, where it has been taken
up in a time, of emergency to meet
conditions resulting from a catas
trophe like the Galveston hurricane,
Oregon City is in troublo enough
now and I do not think that it ought
to have the evils of commission gov
ernment added to its worries. I do
think the hiring of an adequate muni
cipal manager would be a good move,
however, and 1 trust that Saturday
night's mass meeting will favor this.
But if we have commission ruie nere
we will simply have ring rule and
vou and I and all of us know that the
ring will jump in and grab control of
our city. And we don't want mat ao
- we?

would happen here.
His remarks were well received.
Afterwards Dr. Ford spoke and in
troduced the now social creed of the
M. E. Church, drawing from - Mr.
U'Jlen the remark that while he did
not belong to liny church he almost
felt like becoming a Methodist when
they would back a sociul creed as
strong as th's one was.
THE MARKET DAY
SHOULD SUCCEED
U'Reit Rang .Free Text Books for
Private Schools
Mr. U'Kon spoke at the M. E.
church Sunday night on "Needs of
Oregon as I see them." He said in
part that one of Oregon's needs was
the elimination of the saloon, and in
this connection stated that he believ
ed the voters of Oregon would rid
.themselves of this evil at the fall
'election. .
He also took up the free text book
for private schools question, and he
said that if it is right to give pri
vate schools free text books it is also
rieht to give them school and teach
ers free. Refering to the fear of
want which haunts and harasses our
people he said that all his desire to
be governor of Oregon was based on
theTiope that by new and better laws
i ; coSB be made possible for our
citizens to be rid of this fear, which
the greatest evil in our midst.

Xted 1 VegTAhese things
Provide Buyers for All Produce and
Country People Will Come In
Many people would patronize pub
lic market duys for fruits, vegetables
meats, etc., where now they patronize
the grocery stores, but market days
will bring in many peoplo who do not
now come here, and who will buy
what they do not produce, and which
they now buy elsewhere, to more than
offset what the grocery stores would
lose by competition.
No city or town ever grew very
big by building a wall around it. and
ono of tho weakest spots in Oregon
Citys business is thut it does not
get tho trade of the surrounding
country the people and the trade
that naturally should como here.
The new board of trade is working
hard to put on general market days
twice a week here, and provide buy
ers for the products of the farm.
Many another town and city has
worked out this proposition and made
a sple'idid success of it. No town or
city ever abandons tho market
scheme when once inaugurated .
The more peoplo and the more
markets, the more business. This
city should find a buyer for any and
everything the farmers bring in and
for all they bring in. When it docs
this, it won't have to do missionary
work.
Another Elevator Chapter
The city council, under advice of
Attorney Schuebel, has decided to
force Mrs. ('base to test the recent
condemnation suit ia the elevator
tangle, by imtting a force of men at
work on the Mrs. Chase property,
and putting it up to her to stop them
by action in the circuit court. Mr.
Schuubel states Mrs. Chase's nltor
neys are attempting to delay the mat
tor for months.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
BUODIE OVERPLAYED HAND
Alleged Attempt to get "Favorable
Officials Defeated by W. Maars
The Brodie faction in the school
board got hoist by its own petard
Monday while revising the list of el
ection judges to act in the annual
vote fo school director of District
No. Alter Mr. Brodie had elim
inated Miss Moore and Mrs. Chap
man as election judges, the- third
judge, William Maars, rose in his
place just before the polls opened and
saul that he could not legally serve
for the same reason that had been
raised as a bar in the case of the first
two removals.
Maars, Miss Moore and Mrs.
Chapman were appointed to serve as
election judges by the school board.
Later E. E. Brodie, acting clerk of
tho board, notified Chairman Eby
that the two women were inelligible
as they were not property owners.
At a special meeting of the school
board, called in the polling place just
before two o'clock, Monday, Chair
man Eby said that after he had been
notified by Mr. Brodie of this fact
that he had instructed Brodie to name
F. C. Burke and Mrs. W. C. Green to
act in tho places of the two first se
lected. Without comment the board
ratified the appointments, though
there wero those present j among the
spectators at least who wondered how
acting clerk Brodie; himself not a
qualified official of the board, it is
said by those who have read page
i;i05 or section 5 of Lord's Oregon
laws could legally appoint anybody
to serve.
Mrs. Green, Burke and Maars
were then sworn in, and J. L. Hedges,
of tho board, instructed the judges as
to tho qualifications of school elec
tion voters. Any person who had
property in the district assessed to
him or her on the last assessment
rolls, or who owned stock, in a cor
poration assessed on the last rolls,
could vote, said he.
Mr. Maars then sprung his little
surprise, rising and saying that un
der such an interpretation of the
qualifications he could not vote, alid
questioning whether he could legally
art as a judge. He said that though
Unanimously Elected .by Director8 to
nace ot the Late Jr. M. swat
The directors of the Willamette
Valley Southern railroad at a special
meeting Saturday, unanimously elec
ted Judge G. B. Dimick president of
Hie road, to succeed the late, u . JYl.
Swift. J. G. Baker, who has been
expert accountant, takes Mr. Dim
ick s place as secretary.
Judge Dimick states he will turn
his law work over to his partner,
Senator W. A. Dimick, and take the
Held in active work.
SThe election of Judge Dimick is
a justly earned reward for delivering
me goods. Xears ago he tackled
cne proposition and he has . never
quit. It was he who undertook the
Oregon City, Beaver Creek and Mo
lalla project, several years ago, and
altho he could not get sufficient
backing at this time, he and the late
Fred Swift never for a minute aban
doned the project, but kept at it un
til the Clackamas Southern project
grew out of it, and the Willamette
valley Southern succeeding, with
plenty of finances to complete it.
Dimick will be an aggressive pow
er on the Willamette Valley. It will
be rushed to completion,
All along the line from Oregon
City to Mt. Angel crews are hustling
construction work and it is but a
matter of how soon they can com
plete the grade, when the rails will
be laid and the road electrified and
put in operation. Judge Dimick says
the road will be in active operation
to Mt. Angel this year, and to Mo
lalla by fall.
HIGH STREET NEAR READY
Contractor Shea Doing Excellently on
New Thoroughfare on Bluff
"Except for the fact that my con
tract with the city prohibited my
working on Sundays, High Street
would be completed and improved
within schedule time," said Contrac
tor Shea this week. "It may be so
done yet, but on account of the heavy
rock work b;ide the Chase proper
try and the exceptional rains. I have
had my working days cut down and
progress has ben slower than I ex
pected. If I had been able to work
on Sunday's there were many clear
Sabbaths when I could have made up
for time lost during the week; but my
contract with the city expressly bar
red that."
Remarkable speed has been made
on the High street work, and stretch
es of the thoroughfare that are now
down to grade and partly covered
with rock are showing up well. The
cement sidewalks are in for a num
ber of blocks, and make a particularly
good showing. Improvement of the
street will add materially to the abut
ting property, and will give an ex
cellent road to the scenic front of the
bluff.
Tolpolar's Creditors Want to Take
Account of Stock on Hand
Oregon City people who have no
ticed the widely advertised sale at
Tolpolar's bazaar has come to a sud
den 'halt have wondered why, and
this week A. R. Price, who has been
conducting the sale, told the Courier
me reason.
"I and -Mr. Tolpolar have been con
ducting the sale under contract with
Mr. Tolpolar's creditors," he said.
We have been verv successful in
clearing out the large stock on hand,
but the creditors felt that we could
accomplish better results if a com
plete inventory of the goods in the
store was made and so they have or
dered the sale stopped until such an
accounting of stock can be completed.
For that reason the doors have been
closed, and there will be no further
trading until after July 1. By that
time we expect to know exactly what
is in the large Tlopolar stock, and we
will then be better able to price
things so that everything can be dis
posed of, and the best bargains given
customers while at the same time a
fair return will be made to the creditors."
