Voters Will Have Plenty of Names
To Select From
ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF MEN
WHO WOULD 8ERVE PEOPLE.
D. R. Dlmlck Will Enter Race For
Sheriff Candidates for the
Other Offices.
In writing up the news concerning
the various candidates for the differ
ent offices some candidate may be left
out, but the Enterprise will be glad
at any time to rectify any such mis
take. It is not the intention of the
Enterprise in these preliminary write
ups to take any part whatever, for or
against any candidate but may do so
In the future if conditions warrant
such a stand.
Still Another for Sheriff.
P. It. Dlmick was omitted from the
liHt of candidates for sheriff. Mr. Dlm
lck is well acquainted throughout the
county, having run a livery stable in
Canby for a number of years, after
wards coming toOregon .City and en
gaging in the same business and at
present is on a farm near Canby. He
has a wide acquaintance throughout
the county, is considered a straight,
square man and his friends say no
better man has been mentioned for
the place. It goes without saying that
he will make a strong race for the
nomination.
Clerk.
County Clerk Greenman, who is
filling the unexpired term of the late
County Clerk Sleight, will ask for the
nomination to that office. Mr. Green
man has continued the conservative
administration of that office estab
lished by the late Mr. Sleight and has
continued the splendid record started
by his predecessor. The records of
the office are neat and properly kept
and Mr. Greenman is known to pos
sess every qualification that is re
quired of the person holding the of
fice.' During his connection with. the
office, Mr. Greenman has .thoroughly
acquainted himself with the many de
tails of that department which is be
ing economically conducted in the in
terests of ' the taxpayer.
In asking for this nomination, how
ever, Mr. Greenman wfll be opposed
by Milton Lake, of Boring, whose
friends are active in their support of
his candidacy. Four years ago Mr.
Lake was only defeated by the late
Mr. Sleight in the county convention
by a very narrow margin. He is con
sidered entirely competent to fill the
office, and his friends will redouble
their efforts to capture for him the
prize at this time.
Recorder.
For County Recorder E. P. Dednian,
a farmer and fruit grower of Clacka
mas, will ask for the nomination. Mr.
Dedman has resided in Clackamas
County practically all of his life and
in the convention four years ago gave
Recorder Stevens a lively race for the
nomination. Mr. Dedman was a depu
ty in the office to which he now as
pires under ex-Recorder T. P. Randall.
He is considered thoroughly honest
and qualified for the office.
C. E. Ramsby, present deputy re
corder under Recorder Stevens, will
also ask for the nomination. Mr.
Ramsby has been deputy Recorder
during Mr. Stevens' two terms and is
conversant with the office and its many
details. Mr. Ramsby has a great many
friends throughout the county wh5
will work hard to land the nomination
for him.
The name of J. L. Waldron, of this
city, has also been mentioned in con
nection with the Recordership. Mr.
Waldron is the present mall carrier
between this city and Molalla and is
thoroughly competent and qualified to
fill the office.
Commissioner.
For County Commissioner the
friends of the present Commissioner,
J. C. Brobst, of Wilsonville, may ask
him to accept another term. He is
generally thought to have rendered
the county faithful service as a mem
ber of the County Court during the
four years he has served.
The friends of W. H. Mattoon, of
Viola, are urging that gentleman to
become a candidate for this nomina
tion and it is undertsoood he is favor
ably considering the matter. Mr. Ma
toon is a farmer residing at Viola and
it is claimed for him that he would
prove a safe and conservative man to
name for Commissioner.
W. H. Counsel l's friends are equal
ly insistent that he consent to accept
this nomination. It is urged in that
gentleman's behalf that a better Com
missioner could not be secured. With
his practical knowledge of good road
building, it is argued that Mr. Coun
sell would be a valuable man for Com
missioner. Treasurer.
Thus far there have been mentioned
the names of three men in connection
with the nomination for County
Treasurer. J. C. Paddock, a farmer
from Clackamas, Is being urged for
the place by a number of his influen
tial friends. Mr. Paddock is a reli
able . man whose1" many friends will
work hard to secure for him the nom
ination. He served his country well
and faithfully during the Civil war and
his friends claim that he can serve
the people equally well as treasurer.
J. A. Tufts, the confectionery dealer
in this city, will ask for the nomina
tion and his friends consider that they
are not unreasonable in claiming that
there is not a more deserving man in
the county. Mr. Tufts is an old vet
eran arid a man of unquestioned in
tegrity. WRIT Mr. Tufts in the con
test, the other aspirants will have to
hustle.
It is possible that J. C. Brobst, who
in July concludes his term as County
Commissioner, may be prevailed upon
to enter the race for Treasurer. He
is being urged by some of his friends
to enter the contest.
Coroner.
. .Next to the office of Sheriff there Is
generally more strife' for the nomina
tion and election of Coroner than for
any other office in the County and this
year does not promise to be an excep
tion to the rule. Frank Newton, a de
serving young man who recently en
gaged in the undertaking business in
this city, will be a candidate for the
nomination for Coroner. Mr. Newton
served for a number of years in the
military service and saw active ser
vice during the campaign in the Phil
ippines. He is well known in this city
and throughout the county, of which
he is a native, having been born near
Sprlngwater.
J. W. McAnulty, of Gladstone, is al
so a candidate for this nomination for
which the name of W. M. Shank has
also been suggested. Both these men
are well known and will put up a
strong fight. They are amply qualifi
ed for the place. In the same connec
tion, Dr. Harvey Hickman and Dr. H.
S. Mount are considered possible can
didates. Surveyor.
There is not generally much of a
contest for County Surveyor and the
present indications are that the pres
ent incumbent of that office, J. W.
Meldrum, will be retained without any
opposition.
DISSOLUTE LAD MAY LOSE.
Unusual Suit Filed in Clackamas
County Circuit Court.
John W. Meldrum, administrator of
the estate of James McNamara, de
ceased, has filed in the state circuit
court a suit against James Edward
McNamara et al the purpose of which
is to determine the rightful disposition
of an unappropriated balance of
$1500.51 belonging to the estate.
In 1892 James McNamara died leav
ing an estate worth about $4000. By
the terms of a will, the deceased di
rected that the estate be equally di
vided between his two grandsons,
James Edward McNamara and John
T. McNamara, the bequest being con
ditioned, however, on the two young
men developing into sober and indus
trious citizens. In event either or
both of the grandsons violated the
conditions of the will, then it was pro
vided that such part of the estate as
was thereby forfeited should go to an
only sister, residing in England.
ames Edward McNamara, the elder,
of the brothers, attained his majority
in 1903 and received his share of the
estate amounting to $1727.08. John T.
McNamara, the younger of the two,
became of age in April, 1903, and at
that time was an inmate of the state
penitentiary, having been sent up from
Washington county. The conditions
of the will having been violated, the
administrator refused to give the dis
solute relative his share of the estate.
Decedent's sister, who was named as
the substitute beneficiary in case
either or both of the grandsons did not
live up to the terms of the will, has
also died and the suit filed today is to
determine .what disposition shall be
made of the remaining $1500.
PENSIONED BY GRANGE.
O. JK. Kelly to Receive Monthly Sum
for Life.
i State Master B. G. Leedy and wife
! have just returned from Atlantic City,
'N. J where they attended the Nation-
al Grange as representatives from
, Oregon, said Sunday's Oregonlan. Mr.
Leedy said that, while the delegates
were finely, treated and there was a
large attendance, the National Grange
held in Portland a year ago was the
most important in point of work ac
complished. Especially does Mr.
Leedy say that The Oregonian reports
of the Portland gathering were more
complete and superior in every way
than those of the recent gathering at
Atlantic City. One of the important
changes was the retirement of Aaron
Jones as National master, who presid
ed at the Portland meeting, and who
had been master for a number of
years, and the election of ex-Governor
N. J. Bachelder, of New Hampshire,
as National master. v ,
State Master Leedy regards the new
master as an able man. A New Hamp
shire paper says of him: "In choosing
as its master a New Hampshire man
in the person of ex-Governor Nahaum
J. Bachelder, the National Grange has
followed a wise course. Mr. Bachel
der is known in Grange work through
out the United States, and his best
efforts have ever been put forth for
the betterment of the agricultural in
terests." It may be of interest to Oregon
grangers to know that the National
Grange took advanced steps in the
matter of introducing elementary ag
riculture in the public schools and
strongly indorsed President Roose
velt's attitude toward the railways.
An appropriation of $6000 was made
to place three deputies in the field to
arouse an interest in the extension of
the Grange work. One of these depu
ties is for the West. .
The National Grange also made pro
vision to pension O. K. Kelley, founder
of the Patrons of Husbandry, by pay
ing him $100 a month for the remaind
er of his life.

FOR A HIGH SCHOOL
Oregon City Graduates May Take
Advantage of Law
BARCLAY ALUMNI WOULD HAVE
COUNTY INSTITUTION.
At Annual Reunion, Committee Is Ap
pointed to Further the
Project.
At the annual reunion of the Barclay
High School Alumni Association Sat
urday night Mrs. George A. Harding,
E. J. Noble and Howard F. Latourette
were composed a committee to do ev
erything within its power to further
the project for establishing within
Clackamas County a high school. The
members of this committee will at
once familiarize themselves with the
state law relating to the establish
ment of county high schools, and pro
ceed to active work. They will be as
sisted by other graduates of the city
schools, says the Telegram.
The object of the members of the
Alumni Association is, of course, to
secure the establishment of a county
high school in Oregon City. Their
first step will be to circulate a peti
tion to the County Court, which will
probably place the matter before the
electors at the June election. This
petition must contain the signatures
of 100 or more taxpayers of this coun
ty. To the County Court Is left the au
thority to determine the location of a
county high school, but it is gener
ally considered that Oregon City would
be the natural location for the first
school, as the law authorizes coun
ties to operate any number of county
high schools in different localities.
Oregon City has no high school, but
has only part of one, giving instruction
in the ninth and tenth grades, when
the student is graduated. Several
years ago an 11th grade was main
tained, but this was abolished.
The establishment of a county high
school would probably mean that the
present High School of Oregon City
would be abolished. The county in
stitution would be ' supported by a
special tax of all the property in the
county, which would be levied in the
saiAv manner and collected in the
same way that other county taxes are
levied and collected. Any graduate
student from the eighth grade of any
district school in Clackamas County
would be eligible to attend a county
school without the payment of tui
tion. The first step to be taken is the cir
culation of a petition,, which must be
presented to the County Court, when
the proposition will be left to the vot
ers. The Court may call a special elec
tion for the purpose, but as the general
state election is approaching it is not
likely that the county would go to
the expense of a special election. If
a majority of all the votes cast are in
the affirmative the County -Court shall
locate the school "in some suitable
and convenient place within 30 days
after the vote is canvassed." The stat
ute says:
"The County Court shall also esti
mate the cost of purchasing a suit
able lot, erecting a building and fur
nishing the same for the accommoda
tion of such school, with the cost of
conducting such school for the next
12 months; provided that the County
Court or the High School Board may
rent suitable rooms for the accommo
dation of the school. If rooms can be
obtained in the public school build

said board may contract with the
Board of Directors of any district in
the county that now maintains, or
may hereafter maintain, a school of
high-school grade, to teach all bounty
high-school pupils at such rate per
capita, or in the aggregate, as they
may deem right and Just, and shall
pay for the same out of the high-school
fund.
"When such estimate shall have
been made, the court shall levy a
special tax on all assessable property
of the county, sufflicent to raise the
amount estimated as necessary for
purchasing a lot, procuring the plans
and specifications, erecting a building
and furnishing the same, fencing and
ornamenting the grounds and the cost
of running the school for the next 12
months; or, if in their judgment not
expedient to buy or build, they shall
levy for a sum sufficient to cover the
cost of conducting the County High
School in connection with some con
tracting public school, as hereinbe
fore provided.
Whenever it has been decided by
any county at election to maintain a
County High School, a County tfigh
School Board shall be organized, con
sisting of the County Judge and two
County Commissioners, the County
Treasurer, and the County School Su
perintendent, who shall act in their
official capacity as such board, the
County Judge to be ex-officio chair
man, the Superintendent to be ex
officio secretary. The members of
the board shall serve without compen
sation. In case the qualified electors of any
county deem it expedient to estab
lish and maintain more than one Coun
ty High School, then such additional
school or schools may be established
and maintained in the manner pre-
scribed in this act for establishing
and maintaining a County High School.
A GOOD RECORD.
During the year 1905, the total amount of county warrants en
dorsed and entered on the books of County Treasurer Cahill was
$33,122.26 as against $34,883.54 for the preceding year. This differ
ence of $1761.28 represents a saving of that amount to the taxpayers
In the management of county affairs.
"All County High Schools in this1
state shall be free to all pupils of
school age in such county who pass
or may have passed successfully the
eighth grade final examinations."
The necessity of one or more coun
ty high schools in Clackamas county
has been apparent for a long time.
Last year County School Superintend
ent J. C. Zinser laid the matter before
district boards, and while several
towns signified their desire to be se
lected as a location for a county high
school, no action was taken.
