THE BRUSWICK President Cashier Open from Williams Bros. Transfer Co. Job Printing GETS INTO ACTION BOARD OF TRADE CONSIDERS MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS. Will Remonstrate Against Barton Bridge, Investigate Freight Rates and Or ganize Horticultural Society. At Its initial meeting the other night, the Oregon Board of Trade waded right into its consideration of a number of matters of much import to Oregon City and Clackamas county. If the enthu siasm manifested at the Board's meet ing may be considered of permanent character, this organization promises to be a potent factor in advancing the in terests of this section. At this meeting which was held last Thursday night, resolution was adopted declaring inexpedient and too expensive, considering the possible benefits to be derived, the proposed bridge across the Clackamas river at Barton and for which the County Court has agreed to appro priate 70 per cent of the cost. It was di rected that remonstrances against the proposed improvement be prepared for general circulation throughout the coun ty. In view of the contention that the Southern Pacific Company, the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company and the river steamers are exacting of Ore gon City merchants excessive freight rates, the appointment of a committee of seven members was directed to in vestigate the situation. It is claimed that the various transportation compan ies adhere to a schedule of charges that are required of business men here and the appointment of this committee may eventuate in the building of a public wharf in this city when some provision may be made for an independent steam er. . The committee on horticulture was In structed to proceed with plans for the organization of a horticultural society in this county, the need for such an organization being recognized. Relative to the Barton Bridge subject. the meeting adopted the following reso lutions: Whereas, It is currently reported that there is a project on foot to construct another large and expensive bridge across the Clackamas river from Logan to Bar ton, at a cost of from J7000 to $10,000 to the county: and "Whereas, The county and private in dividuals have already expended large sums in constructing and completing modern thoroughfares from both Port land and Oregon City to said Logan pre cinct, which thoroughfares are now in good repair and serviceable both Sum mer and Winter; and "Whereas, In view of the present in debtedness of the county and the gen eral desire to reduce the same in all proper and legitimate ways, and by rea son of the very limited number of peo pj. to be benefitted and? the very large cost of construction, not only of said bridge, but v of - the necessary roads to reach the same; therefore, be it "Resolved. That the Oregon City Board of Trade considers the proposed erection of said bridge very expensive, in view of benefits to result therefrom, and inex pedient and against the general public welfare; and. be it further "Resolved, That the committee on roads be instructed to prepare remon strances against such proposed construc tion, and take such further action as is necessary to defeat such project." While the directors were discussing bridges and roads they referred to the road committee a communication from R. H. Snodgrass, of Meadowbrook, rela tive to the proposed improvement of the county road in the vicinity of Union Mills and Meadowbrook for a distance of one mile. The board also went on record as op posed to the improvement of the present county road leading over a hill past the Chautauqua grounds. It is said that the nlm m hls 8ad hour of amnion, our road should be diverted at the Gladstone j heartfelt sympathies and be it further sawmill and follow the railroad track out ReaoIved. -nt a copy of ti,ese resolu into Clackamas. This would give the , t, h Bnad ,,mn the minutes of the road a. water-level grade, and would tapjAerIe and fhat a copy printed m tne the Damascus and Sunnyside country. In reference to the same, the following resolution was adopted 'Whereas, It is of great importance to the business interests of Oregon City and a large territory north of the Clack amas River to have a more modern thoroughfare completed. uniting more completely the two points; therefore, be it 0 Resolved, That this body investigate. decide and report upoft the most proper location for such road and improvement. with probable cost of construction, WEARS MEDAL OF HONOR. Soldier of Fortune and Misfortune Works In Paper Mills. . William F. Lukes, who wears the medal of honor and received the thanks of Con gress for valor during the Korean out break of 1871, is employed as a common laborer at an Oregon City paper mill. Lukes has had a most eventful career. He was left tp himself when but nine years old. and became a cook. He went to California when but fifteen years old and prospected all over the Coast. He was mining in Mexico when Maximilian's army started for the City of Mexico. He and his companions enlisted as privates and he was made a captajn for conspicu ous gallantry at the battle of Acapulo. He was captured soon after, released on parole, rejoined Maxmillan. was captur ed again and with two companions sen tenced to be shot the next day. That night they broke out of the blockhouse, swam a river and escaped. ' After Maximilian's capture, Lukes drifted out to China and was in Tien Tsin during the massacre of 1869. He enlisted in the U. S. S. Colorado and sailed with the fleet under Admiral Rog ers to attack the Korean forts in 1871. Under the command of Lieutenant Ma- gee, his company landed and engaged the Koreans. After two days' of fighting, the natives were driven into one of then- numerous forts. Two unsuccessful at tacks were made upon it and in the third. Lieutenant Magee was killed. The com mand fell to Lukes who was a petty of ficer and the fort was captured. Lukes looked for the body of the com mander and found the Koreans were car- rying it off to the mountains. Calling for volunteers, but two men responded, They soon overtook the retreating Kor eans and a desperate hand-to-hand fight took place. When reinforcements ar rived the. marines found Lukes with eighteen sword wounds lying unconsci ous across the body of his commander and his companions dead. Scattered. around them were the bodies of sixteen Koreans. The carabine, which Lukes car ried in the engagement, is in the museum at Washington. The steel barrel was cut half way through by a great two- handed sword carried by one of the Ko reans. Magee's body was shipped to America for burial while the man who rescued it lay thirty-nine days unconscious from the eighteen sword cuts he had received on the head. Then he suffered from three or four epileptic fits a day. Surgeon General Gilchrist operated on him at Yo kohoma and then he was sent to the Brooklyn Naval Hospital where a num ber of other operations were performed. He was discharged from the Navy on ac count of his infirmity and soon after in herited $18,000, which he spent for treat ment and operations at the hands of the greatest specialists both in this country and Europe without obtaining beneficial results. After his discharge he was given a vote of thanks by Congress, brevetted a Captain, and received the medal of hon or upon which is engraved: "For valor. William F. Lukes, landsman and a mem ber of Company D., IT. S. S. Colorado. Capture of Korean Forts. Jjine 11, 1871." He was also given a pension of $60 per month and when he reaches the age of sixty it will be raised to $75, the salary of a retired captain. POSTMASTERS ARE NOTIFIED.

PETITIONS FILED SUFFICIENT SIGNATURES FOR REF ERENCE OF APPROPRIATION BILL. Multnomah County Clerk Makes Incorrect Certificate, But Error is Corrected. SALEM, Oregon. May 15. The peti tions demanding the referendum upon the $1,000,000 appropriation bill were not filed today, though petitions bearing 7000 signatures were brought here from Mc Minnville, with the intention of filing them. It was found that the clerk of Multnomah county had not made his cer tificate in the proper form, and that the petitions from that county, bearing 1700 signatures, would be fatally defective. The petitions were taken to Portland tonight, and then all the petitions will be filed. It was in anticipation of some such defect as this that the referendum leaders came to Salem three days earlier than was necessary. The law requires that the County clerk shall set out in his certificate the names of persons whose signatures he finds to be genuine after comparing them with the signatures in his registration books. The clerk of Multnomah county merely certified that he found a specified num ber of signatures to be genuine, but did not set forth which they were. M. B. Hendricks, of McMinnvllle, brought the petitions to Salem and took them to Portland. The petitions that have been secured by the referendum committee come from " nearly every county in the state, and contain many names of prominent men. From Multnomah county there were 1500 signatures, Linn county 1300, Yamhill 1175, Polk 560, Marion. 480, Union 400. Clackamas 390, and from other counties lesser numbers. SUFFRAGISTS WILL CONFER. The S7th annual convention df the National American Woman Suffrage As sociation will be held in the First Con gregational church. Portland. Oregon. June 28th to July 5th. inclusive. A cordial invitation is extended to all who believe in the inalienable right of women to self-government and also to those not yet in sympathy with the pur poses of this Association. A government of men and women not by women alone, not by men alone, but a government of men and women, by men and women, for men and wo men this Is the aim and ideal of our Association. One hundred years ago Oregon was an untrodden wilderness. The trans formation of that primeval territory into prosperous communities, enjoying the highest degree of civilization, could not have been accomplished without the work or women. No restriction should be placed upon energies : and , abilities so potent for good. The extension of , the right of suffrage would remove a handi cap from the efforts of women and give them an opportunity to work for the wel-. fare of the State. We do not claim that women's voice in the government would at once sound the death knell to all social and politi cal evils. But we do believe that a gov- eminent representing the interests and tne beliefs of women and men would prove itself, and is proving itself, where it now exists, to be a better government than one which represents the interests and beliefs of men alone. The movement for the enfranchisement of women Is based upon the unchanging and unchangable principles of human lib erty. In accordance with which successive classes of men have won the right of self- ' government. On such a foundation ultimate vic tory is assured and, in truth, is con ceded, even by those who oppose. The day is ever drawing nearer when the Nation will apply to women the prin ciples which are the very foundations of its existence; when on every election day, there will be re-affirmed the Im mortal truths of our Declaration of American Independence. Then will this indeed be a just government, "deriving its powers from the consent of the gov erned." SUSAN B. ANTHONY, Honorary President. REV. ANNA HOWARD SHAW. President. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT.
