For Larceny
On complaint of George Ogle, Charles
Spurlin and Harris Ridings, two young
aen residing near Marquam neighbor
hood, were arrested on the charge of lar
eny from a dwelling. The young men are
accused of the theft of a watch, a pistol
and $8 from the complainant's residence.
The complaint will probably be dismis
sed as to Spurlin, but Ridings was ar
raigned before Justice Stipp and his
examination set for Thursday.
regon City Post Office Receipts
Postmaster Randall's annual report
shows a substantial increase in the re
ceipts of the local office during' the last
year over that of 1903. During the
twelve months just ended the receipts
aggregated $9,743.93 as against $8,034.45
for 1903. In the ensuing year it is ex
pected the receipts of the Oregon City
ffice will exceed $10,000, which will en
title the people of this. city to free mail
delivery for whidh they are striving.
in years. Sales of the Grand Ronde
Indian Reservation tracts swelled the
receipts of the local office for the last
three months, the receipts from this
source -alone amounting to $62,956.4.
The cash sales of land embraced 10,
100.28 acres, producing $26,008.76. Ex
elusive of the proceeds from the Grand
Ronde Reservation sales, the receipts of
the office were $27,928.16.

More Talking Machin
Rural telephone lines are being estab
lished throughout Clackamas county, the
County Court last week granting two
additional telephone franchises to pri
vate corporations. One of the proposed
sew lines will etxend from Canby via
New Era to Oregon City, the franchise
eing granted to Elmer Vileno A fran
chise was also granted the West Oregon
Telephone Company for the erection and
peration of a telephone system from
Willamette over the J.-egon City and
Dayton road to the ashington county
line; from Stafford over the Wise and
Buckman road to Walnut Landing.
The work of Dogs
One night last week dogs entered the
cattle yards of Chas. Albright's near this
city and killed twenty head of sheep.
This is not the first loss of this kind
that Mr. Albright has suffered and it is
natural that he should favor some means
of abating the nuisance or for providing
for the reimbursement of the man who
sustains such a loss. He thinks' a State
law should be enacted providing for
dog-tax, the proceeds of this form of
taxation to go into a fund to be in turn
distributed among cattle dealers and
others who suffer a loss such as that
herein referred, to. And in this connec
tion, it might be remarked that the city
ordinance imposing a dog tax might be
enforced. If a tax is exacted from every
dog that is to be seen in the streets of
Oregon City, the exchequer of this city
would profit amazingly. As it is, the
city derives no revenue from this source
when the enforcement of the ordinance
would rid the community of a lot of
worthless canines. Of recent years there
has been collected but a single dog tax
in this city, Tiat fee has been paid
into the city treasury by Dr. W. E. Carll
on account of "Lobster."
Were Married Thirty Years
After thirty years of married life, Dan
iel Brecht, of Portland has fiKd in the
Clackamas county circuit court a suit
for divorce from Mary Brecht, alleg
ing desertion in December, 1903. The
parties were intermarried in the state of
Pennsylvania in July 1874. The plain
tiff asks for a decree divorcing himself
from the defendant and declaring that
he is the sole owner of certain real prop
erty at St. Johns of the value of $2500.
Pawned Her Diamond ,
Declaring that she feared to longer live
with her husband, a Mrs. Wilson, of Port
land, spent a few hours in this city Wed
nesday, departing on the overland Wed
nesday night for Oakland, California,
where she has relatives. Mrs. Wilson
reached Oregon City during the after
noon and immediately telegraphed her
California relatives for funds with which
to reach the Golden state. The money
failed to arrive before the time for the
night train and Mrs. Wilson, who was
well dressed and adorned with some val
uable diamonds, deposited one of the
stones as security for a loan of $50 that
she was successful in raising in this
city. During the afternoon the woman's
husband, suspecting the elopement, also
came to this city, but was unsuccessful
in his endeavors to induce the wife to
abandon her plan of elopement. In con
versing with friends, whose assistance
she obtained, Mrs. Wilson divulged that
her home life had been exceedingly un
pleasant and that she was afraid fur
ther to live with her husband at whose
hands she feared violence. Oregon City

Officers are Elected
Last Friday night the members of
Columbia Hook & Ladder Company held
their election of officers for the ensuing
year, the result being as follows: Dell
Hart, president; Chas. Burns, Jr., fore
man ; Otis Boylan, first assistant foreman ;
J. Reddaway, second assistant foreman;
F. W. Humphreys, secretary; Ci, W,
Pope, treasurer. The members of this
volunteer fire company are making elab
orate arrangements for their grand an
nual ball to be given at - the Armory
on Washington's Birthday,, February 22.
This dancing party is considered one of
the main social events of the year and
is always largely attended. Everest's
orchestra has been engaged and every
thing will be provided for the entertain
ment of the guests on this occasion as
in years gone by.
Lien Filed on Horse
Last Friday Scripture & Beauliau, the
Fifth street blacksmiths, filed a horse
shoers' lien against the horse that was
driven by Frank M Harris, the ab
sconding local agent for the Singer Sew
ing Machine Company. The claim is for
shoeing the horse and amounts to $2.
This is perhaps the first lien of this
kind that was evei filed in "this county.
Harris is the man who left the city sud
denly about two weeks ago, leaving a
shortage in his accounts of about $200
besides a bride of three weeks.
Were Completely Routed
For a second time the bowling team
from the Moreland boarding house was
defeated by the Samson boarding house
at Goodfellow's alleys last Thursday
night and the victors were treated an
oyster supper. In the first game the
team with the strong name won out by
eight pins, but in the second game its
victoi-y was the more decisive, the final
score showing a lead for the Samsons of
96 pins. In consequence, the Moreland
team i has disbanded so far as partici
pating in further bowling games as an
organization. The Homer Boarders, con
sisting of Jack Caufield, C. W. Pope,
Howard Latourette, Chas. Schramm,
Harry Draper and Frank Newton, has
challenged a picked team from the More
land and Samson boarding houses for
a match. The challenge has been ac
cepted and the contest will be held at
Goodfellow's alleys Saturday evening,
January 14. Those who will bowl on the
picked team have not been determined
upon but the six will probably be: Dr.
L. A. Morris, T. Osmund, Dr. E. T.
Parker, Dr. H. S. Mount, from the Sam
sons; W. R. Logus and Dr. E. J. Wolf
from the Morelands.
Boom Has Collapsed
There was filed with the County court I
the other day an application for the can-
cellation of the plat of an Eagle Creek
townsite. The application asked for the
vacation of certain streets and alleys for
the reason that it had been impossible
to dispose of the property as laid ouT.
The enterprise was backed by Portland
capitalists and the property was etxen
sively advertised.
Located and Farming
In a letter from Jos. Purdom, formerly
local agent for the Postal Telegraph
Company, the Enterprise is informed that
genial Joe and his wife are now perma
nently located at Princeton, Colusa Co.,
California. Mr. Purdom has purchased a
20 acre tract from the U. S. Senator
Boggs' tiact and writes "we are going to
farm. Took a sudden notion, stopped
to visit my wife's brother and it looks
like a pretty good opportunity to make a
good home, so we invested. There is
being put in by a California company a
large irrigation ditch. This company
recently brought up the Glen' ranch of
30,000 acres, the Boggs' ranch 11,000
acres and the Packer ranch of 5,000
acres. The most of this land has been
sold in 20 and and 40 acre tracts." Mr.
Purdom's many Oregon City friends will
wish him great success in his new location.

Mills Wins Out In Speakership Contest
'Kuykendall President of
Senate.
' The- twenty-third bi-ennial sessloii of
the Oregon. State legislature was con
vened at Salem Monday.
Organization of the House of Represen
tatives was accomplished without delay,
but with the Senate, the condition was
different, there being a deadlock in the
election of President that was not ad
justed until late Tuesday afternoon when
Senator Carter, of Jackson county, with
drew and Senator Kuykendall. of Lane,
was unanimously elected presiding officer.
The other officers of the Senate are
Chief Clerk, S. L. Moorehead; Journal
Clerk, . E. L. C. Farrin; Calendar Clerk,
F. A. Turner; Reading Clerk, Frank Mot-
ter; Seregant-at-arms, G. P. Terrell
Doorkeeper, Wm. Smith; Mailing Clerk
J. E. Barnett.
In the Republican caucus of the mem
bers of the House. Representative A. L.
Mills, of Multnomah county, defeated T.
B. Kay. of Marion county, for the nom
ination as speaker by a vote of 26 to 24.
The other officers of the House are:
Chief Clerk. W. Lair Thompson: assistant
chief clerk. Frank Drager; reading clerk,
C. N. McArthur, Polk; calendar clerk,
Jas. A. Finch, Marion; sergeant-at-arms,
M. P. Isenberg. Wasco; doorkeeper, C. A.
Murphy, Marion ; mailing clerk, T. E.
Hill, Jackson.
In the organiaztion of the legislature
this year, the members of the Clacka
mas county delegation took a more prom'
inent part than in years before. Rep
resentatives Huntley and Jagger practi
cally organiezd the House by joining the
Mills' forces and giving him the neces
sary majority. In the Senate, Senator
George C. Brownell presided over that
body during the two days' deadlock over
the election of a President. By reasohx of
his extended growth of beard, Represen
tative Jagger has already found himself
a ready target ror the small army oi
sketch artists in attendance on the leg
islature and it is safe to wager that he
will be the most caricatured member of
the lower House.
Many Bills Introduced.
Representative Jagger of Clackamas
county, introduced a bill for the eexr
cise of the eminent domain right by
counties in the establishment of county
roads. This bill is in line with a sug
gestion made at the good roads meeting
in Salem in December.
Smith, of Josephine, presented a bill to
the Legislature yesterday morning for
the requirement of the Secretary of State
to file a statement with the State Treas
urer of all the moneys and funds re
ceived by his office.
The bill also provides that . the state
ment issued by the Secreteary of State
shall become a public record.
One of the most interesting of the bills
introduced before the House yesterday
morning was the bill presented by Smith,
of Josephine, requiring "political mach
ines" to file with the county clerk a full
eport of the financial workings v of the
organization.
It stipulates that a report of the con
tributions and expenditures of the Tr
ganization must also be published in at
least two newspapers. The violator of
this law would be liable to a charge of
felony. "
If such a law should be passed the
people could tell exactly the source of
the contributions which form the .cam
paign (funds of the different political
parties perhaps!
Frank Jagger, of. Clackamas county.
introduced another bill before the House
to define the boundary line between
Marion and Clackamas counties. It is
stated that the true line between the
two counties is in doubt and that public
safety requires that the matter be at
tended to at once.
Frozen Egg Nog.
H. R. Hofler the popular confectioner,
will probably leave town this morning,
says the Astorian. Was a mixup in two
orders received at his store yesterday,
W..H. Roberts and wife gave a party last
evening at their residence and ordered
several gallons of froezn" egg nog. One
of the loeal churches also held a recep
tion to all its members last evening and
ordered some frozen sherbet. By some
hocus pocuB which Mr. Hofler is unable
to figure out, the orders got mixed. The
Sherbet was delivered to Mr. Robert's
residence and the nog to the church.
The first Intimation Hofleir had that any
thing was wrong was when he was called
up to the phone by an' Indignant member
of the faith who demanded to know what
kind of stuff was that you sent up here
tonight? Simultaneously the phone rang
from Robert's home informing him that
the egg nog was the thinnest stuff he
ever tasted and was shy the exhilerating
ingredients that makes this delicious bev
erage palatable. A young man was im
mediately dispatched to the church and
Mr. Robert's residence to straighten out
tangle. In a few moments he came back
loaded down with ice cream cans, buckets
and pails obtained at Robert's residence.
Hofler made a hurried eaxmination and
told 'the boy- that he didn't want the
empty cans, he wan ted . the egg nog that i
had been sent up to the church. '.'But," I
said the boy, "I did go to the church for I
the egg nog, and they were all eating it '
and refused to return it." They said it I
was the most delicious sherbet they ever
tasted and wanted the order duplicated.

The Crab Industry.
There are three crabberies on Yaquina
Bay where they codk crabs for market,
one located at Newport, and two at
Yaquina. Wm. Toner, the rustling ex
press messenger, is owner of one of the
Yaquina. establishments and his report
shows that he has shipped during the
year just ended 186,000 pounds, or 93 tons
of crabs. This is addition to what the
other two have shipped and the vast
amount which is used by the multitudes
who visit our summer resort. Crabs
average three dozen to the hundred lbs,
and sell for 70 cents per dozen or $2.10
per hundred, thus producing quite a
revenue, which represents labor. The
peculiar thing is that both the supply
and the demand has increased each year,
this being Mr. Toner's fourth year he
has spent in the enterprise. - The first
year he shipped only 6000 pounds. Toledo

Jury List Drawn
Before adjourning th regqlar Janu
ary term, the county courts last week
drew a list of 500 taxpayers who will be
eligible for service as jurors during the
year 1905. Road supervisiors were also
appointed, there being contests in the
majority - of the precincts. The office
of road supervisor in Clackamas county
usually calls forth more of a contest

naming of county officers, . although the
road supervisor receives only the nomi
nal compensation of $2.50 per diem when
he is actually employed.
