GAMES ARE CLOSED
COUNTY AUTHORITIES TAKE A HAND
IN GAMBLING SITUATION.

2. a T nd1Con,tb, Trembathidown a decision sustaining the validity
Cloeed Oregon City and Arretted
Mllwaukle Gamblart.
Oregon City In now a closed town with
reaped to Rambling at leaat, and if one
may believe the rumbling that are to
be henrd, It would not be a aurprlae If
the town were cloaed tighter than at
present before the Summer la over.
In other worda, Sheriff Shaver and Con
atabl Trembath laat Friday night made
a circuit of the saloon and other reaorta
of the city whore game are known to
have been conducted, and notified the
proprietors and players that all gambling
must Immediately ceaae. Warrants for
the arrest of the proprietors of the gam
bling resorts together with the players,
and by the way the list Included the
names of several prominent men of the
city, had been Isaued, but Sheriff Shaver
decided not to serve the papers at the
time he notified the players that an end
must be put to the game for the reason
gambling was tolerated by permission
of the city authorities. However, Sher
iff Shaver did notify those against whom
warrants had been Issued, that the pa
pers will be preserved and the first man
violating the laws regarding gambling
will be Immediately arrested.
The present situation In Oregon City
is nothing more or less than the out
growth of a controversy between the city
and county officials. After having once
given permission for the games to be
resumed In this city, the city authorities
then sought to avoid all criticism for the
situation and disclaimed all responsibili
ty therefor, seeking to put the matter
right up against the county authorities
and the deputy district attorney, 8o per-
alatently waa this course pursued, that
the county officials acted and the result
la a closed town.
1.411 Saturday, Sheriff Shaver shortly
before noon went to Mllwaukle and ar
rested Isaac Gratton and M. O. Nease.
two of the , proprietors and managers of
the Mllwaukle Country Club at that place.
Chaa. Duncan, the third party for whom
Sheriff Shaver had a warrant, was not
to be found, and the minion of the law
returned to thla city without- locating
him. Gratton and Noose were proipptly
taken before J. W. Graale, Justice of the
peace for the Mllwaukle district, and their
preliminary examinations were set for
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Both of the
defendants were released on their cogni
sance pending their preliminary hearing.
In the warrants upon which they were
arrested. Gratton and Nease are charged
with the crime of "willfully committing
an act which grossly disturbs the public
peace, openly outrages the public de
cency and is Injurious to the public mor
als." In causing the arrest of Gratton and
Neaae; Sheriff Shaver experienced no In
convenience Inasmuch as the move waa
anticipated by the officials of the Mll
waukle Club. Sheriff Shaver announces
his determination to put an end to gam
bling in Clackamaa county and In the
steps he has taken he has the backing of
the District Prosecutor. Deputy District
Attorney C. Schuebel was at Astoria the
day before where he consulted with Dis
trict Attorney Allen and immediately up
on his return, Sheriff Shaver, accompanied
by Constable Trembath closed Oregon
City tight and then visited the Mllwau-
kle resort.
The move on the part of the Sheriff
In closing all games In this city, while
not entirely unexpected, came before It
was looked for and the gambling frater
nity, by way of retaliation, is making
numerous threats of co-operating with
the officials to the end that Oregon City
and Clackamas county shall be closed in
the strictest sense of the term. Among
the threats Is Included the closing of
saloons all day Sunday and limiting the
hours durlg which these resorts may
transact business. The discarding of all
nitkle-ln-the-slot machines may also be
demanded and If the saloon men become
angered, there la a strong probability that
they will proceed to have the laws strict
ly enforced with respect to traffic In liqu
ors by the drug dealers.
WAS NOT CORRECTLY QUOTED.
Assessor Nelson Gets After Corporations
But Not the Farmer.
Assessor Nelson was Incorrectly quoted
In lust week's Enterprise when this pa
per credited to that official a statement
to the effect that tho assessable values
of property of corporations and land, im
proved, nnd unimproved, will be material
ly Increased.
The ' same article stated that lands
tillable and non-tillable were, listed at
but 40 per cent of their true value and It
waa claimed that these values would be
Increased to 80 per cent. This Is not cor
rect. Mr. Nelson soys that the farmers are
already being assessed for more nearly
the worth of their holdings than any
other class of taxpayers. He also de
clares that the assessments, of the farm
ers will not bo materially disturbed from
that of last year.
But the various corporations In Clack
amas county will be assessed at a higher
rating than ever before. These corpor
ations will be more heavily assessed for
all property and franchises.
INSURANCE RATES REVISED.
City
May Enclose Pumping Station
In
Fire Proof Structure.
A revision of Insurance rates In Or
egon City Is being made by James A.
Baird, representing the Board of Fire
Insurance Underwriters.
There will be no material changes in
the rates that now prevail although at
the suggestion of the Insurance com
panies' representative, the city author
ities are Investigating the proposition of
enclosing the city's pumping station In
a fire proof structure In which event an
appreciable reduction In fire Insurance
rates will be conceded by the different
Insurance companies.
The situation Is being seriously con
sidered , by the proper municipal author
ities who expect to take definite action
soon. . ,
LOCAL OPTION LAW IS CONSTITU
TIONAL. 8upreme Court Alao PastesUpon Kay
State Employee Salary Act
The Supreme Court Monday handed
of the local option llo,uor law adopted
ny tne people In June, 1904. The opin
ion written by Chief Justice Wolverton
holds that there la nothing In the con
stitution which prevents the adoption of
a l((uor law to take effect locally upon a
vote or the people of the district affected.
This decision waa rendered In the suit
brought by P. F. FouU to recover from
the city of Hood River the saloon license
foe he had paid in advance before the
local option law became effective. The
city refused to pay on the ground that
the local ontlnn law 4 iinwn.tu.,ii..i
' and there Is nothing to prevent the
sale or liquor under the license. The
Circuit Court upheld the local option
law. and this decision Is sustained.
The court also held in thhe mandamus
suit against the secretary of state by
Superintendent Calbreath, of the In
sane asylum, to compel the former to
observe the provisions of the Kay act,
and Issue warrants In full of the amounts
of the payrolls of the different state
Institutions named m the act, at the end
of each month instead of by quarter and
certificate, that the secretary of state
haa no authority to Issue warrants when
there is no appropriation to cover the
amount of the claim, thus defeating the
cause of the suit With the exception
of the Issuance of certificates Instead of
warrants the secretary of state shall
follow out the provisions of the Kay act
to the letter, and, aa several of the Port
land banks have now agreed to accept
the certificates at par, the effect will be
the same es If the court had upheld the
Kay act. The payrolls of the different
Institutions named In the Kay act ex
clusive of the Normal schools, which
the secretary of state will not recognize
are arriving and certificates In full of
the amount carried upon them will be
Issued to their respective superintend
ents. The supreme court holds that the Kay
bljl la an original act to regulate the
time of payment and does not repeal
the act prohibiting money being paid
where there Is none in the treasury.
The state employes thought they could
force the payment of their salaries be
cause of this Kay bill, that was passed
at the recent session of the legislature,
but found that the secretary of state
was correct In the premises, when he
refused to Issue warrants.
COUNTY WILL EXPEND $6000.
But Even With This, the Barton Bridge
Is Not Fully Assured.
An order was made by thd Clackamas
County Court last Friday by which 70
per cent of the cost of construction of a
bridge across the Clackamas at Barton
Is assumed by the county (6000 to be the
maximum appropriation that shall be al
lowed by the county for the Improvement
The building of the bridge together
with a connecting road of a required
grade, It is estimated, will cost at least
116,000. Other than the 16000 which Is
made available by the county, the peti
tioners for the bridge have raised but
J6000 in subscriptions, one-half of that
amount being subscribed by the Oregon
Water Power & Railway Company.
It Is not considered that the Improve
ment Is an assured thing as it extremely
doubtful if the J4000 that remains lack
ing can be raised.
RACE MEETING AT PORTLAND.
Portland, July 13. Among the great
attractions which the Lewis and Clark
Exposition will afford the visitors to
Portland during this month will be the
opening of the race meeting given by the
Multnomah Fair Association at Irving-
ton Pork Track, beginnlg on July 22d.
More than 600 horses will be stabled at I
Irvlngton during the 49 racing days,
which, by the way, will be the longest '
race meeting ever held In Oregon. The
horses that will start In the stake and
handicap events are the pick of those
that raced last winter at Oakland and at
Los Angeles. Such owners as E. J
Ramsey, Doctor Rowell, Harry Stover,
Winters & Johnson, and Del Fountain,
hav entered their stake horses In the
events, horses that would have been
shipped east, but for the generous purses
and stake moneys that the Association
have hung up.
When the Association officials made up
their stake events last year they were in
a generous mood. Knowing that the Ex
position would bring lovers-of the thor
oughbreds from all over the country, they
mode up their minds that If handsome
purses and valuable stakes would attract
the best class of horses and the best
owners, they would certainly bring them
to Portland. This they have done and In
all they will distribute over $100,000
among the winners of the stake events
and purses. Such good horses as Hora
this. Sea Air, Bombardier, Hugh Mc-
Gowan, Gloomy Gus winner of the Seattle
Derby, Whisky King, and a host of oth
ers that have won winning brackets, will
be there.
The Lewis & Clark Exposition Handi
cap will be worth $1,600 to the winner, the
Irvlngton Handicap $1,200.00 and the
Labor Day Handicap Is valued at $1,000,
Many of the horses that will race at
Irvlngton have been racing at the Mead
ows, and hardly a day goes by but some
track record Is broken, and as a sample
the mile record was cut from 1.40 to
1.3914 by Hugh McGowan.
Anticipating one of the greatest race
meetings ever held In the Northwest,
President A. R. Diamond has kept teams
and men at work on the track at Irvlng
ton all winter, and even as early as this
it is lightening fast. The stalls have
been fumigated and have been given a
fresh coating of whitewash, and painters
are now at work repairing the grand
stand, fences and paddock. The Asso
ciation has also announced that from
September 17 to feepteinber 28 it will en
deavor to give a light harness race meet
ing. Very liberal purses will be given
and some of the best trotters and pacers
from California In addition to a strong
lot of Oregon and Washington horses.
OFF TO GLADSTONE
TWELFTH ANNUAL CHAUTAUQUA
ASSEMBLY IS CONVENED.
Programme of Unequalled Worth Haa
Been Provided Patriotic
First Day.
With' every Indication for a most suc
cessful meeting, the Twelfth Annual A
sembly of the Willamette Valley Chau
tauqua Association was convened ' at
Gladstone Park, near this city Tuesday
afternoon. There Is an attendance that
surpasses that of Drccedlns AjtnmV.H
and with the Intensely Interesting pro
gram Of lectures and entertainments that
has been provided it Is entirely reason
able to predict that the attendance will
Increase very remarkably dally. The
grounds are liberally covered with tents.
In number exceeding that of nrevloua
meetings, and more campers are arriving
on tne grounds daily.
Tuesday, the opening day, was "Pa
triotic Day," and the day waa properly
designated. The opening address waa
that of Senator John M. Thurston, for
merly United States Senator from Ne
braska. In securing ex-8enator Thurs
ton to deliver the opening address, tha
Chautauqua officers were exceedingly
fortunate. Recognized as a lawyer and
statesman of great ability. Senator
Thurston was brought Into added promi
nence as counsel for the defense In the
land-fraud cases at Portland, by reason
of which public interest In him has been
greatly increased, especially on the Pa
cific Coast. The opportunity of heating
this orator was embraced by many. Dr.
Quayle, pastor of St. James" Methodist
Episcopal Church, of Vhicaeo. is sin or
ator of National reputation, and his lec
ture on "Abraham Lincoln,"glven Tues
day evening, was certainly a masterful
one. On Wednesday afternoon Dr. Quayle
also lectured, his subject being "Ham
let."
This week's program Included besides
the lectures already mentioned, a grand
musical concert Wednesday evening, lec
tures by Rev. J. Whltcomb Brougher and

sor Kemp.
