ped Into Canal Lock
Year Ago.
E. 1L Wright, said to be a peddler,
met with a serious accident Thursday
afternoon that came near ending his
life. He was walking across the 0.
W. P. company's railroad bridge
across the Clackamas river at Park.
place and in some manner fell through
the structure to the ground below, a
distance of about thirty feet. The ac
cident occurred some time between
the hours of twelve and one, but was
not discovered till half past two
o'clock, when he was found by Units
Htmler, who happened to be passing
and heard his groans.
Himler immediately telephoned
from St. Agnes' Baby Home in Park
place to Dr. Meissner in this city and
the doctor hurried to the scene as
quickly as possible. Dr. Meissner saw
that the man's injuries were very se-
rious. and telephoned Chief of Police .
Gritzmacher of Portland to see if the
Injured man could be taken to
hospital in that city. As the accident
occurred outside of Multnomah coun
ty, the Portland official refused to
take the man, so the doctor adminis-1
tered to his needs and after removing
him to Wilkinson & Hughes' green
house, returned to this ity and noti
fied County Physician Norris of the
accident.
Dr. Norris in turn informed County
Judge Dimick of the affair and the
latter sent a buggy to Gladstone and
brought the injured man to this city.
Wright was taken to the residence of
F. A. Miles on Sixth street where he
will be cared for until his recovery.
The exact cause of the accident is
unknown as the man cannot recollect
how it happened, although his mind t
is clear on other matters. Wright is
blind in one eye and the vision of the '
other is very defective, and it is the
prevalent opinion that he accidently
stepped over the side of the bridge.
The fact that only a five eent piece
Was found on his person tells that
Wright was in straitened circumstanc
es. Wright is known in this city, hav-

What makes the find of special nig-

If the proper sand Is in this county,
Oregon City is the natural point for
the location of glass factories near
the source of supply of both material
and power.
The owner of the deinisit from w hich

BOARD MEETS
Committee From Board of
Trade to Take Up Chan
nel Project
LOWER TRACTION RATES
O. W. P. Will Be Again Asked to Give
Oregon City Equitable Treat
' ment Legislative Senti
nels Appointed.
The Oregfln City board of trade real
izes the great importance of the Im
provement of the Wllluim-tte river
at the Clackamas rapids. At Its meet
ing, Friday night. J. K. Hedges, W. S.
l"Hen and Thomas F. Ryan were ap
pointed a special committee to take tip
with Colonel Kosslter, United States
'engineer, the proposed improvement
jat lhis Ulm, 0llt uf tll0 appropriation
for the improvement of the Wlllam
ette river above Portland and to do
whatever they may deem best to bring
this matter to the attention of the
Engineering department of the United
States and to secure the co-operation
of the senators and congressmen of
Oregon in the work of owning up such !
a channel.
The making of an all the year-round
navigable channel through the Clack
amas rapids ranks with the building
of free locks at the falls in import
ance not ouly to this community and
county, but to all the upper Willamette
valley. Indeed the two should be
projierly classed together.
Besides the officers and directors of
! the board of trade
r is a -i
lent, ine sentiment was strong and
unanimous for Immediate and d.x-isive I
action in the matter f the proposed j
improvements.
Eleventh Street Public Dock.
Frank Busch of the committee ap- j
pointed to ascertain conditions rela
tive to a public dock on the river at j
1 Eleventh street, .submitted a verbal!
; report, stating about what the cost of j

streets leading to the site of the pro

, mittee was continued with instruc
tions to ascertain the cost of the pro
, posed Improvement of Eleventh street
to dock ; also to ascertain what meth-
'od or means should be taken In order
i
ito secure the funds necessary to con-
struct said public dock, and to work

J. E. Hedges and W.
j A. Huntley were appointed a commit
! tee to ascertain the w ishes of the peo
Jple ownins property on Eleventh
; street from the river to either Jeffer
' son or Madison streets, also on Jef
jferson street from Eleventh to
: Twelfth streets, and on Twelfth street
jfrom Jefferson to Madison street, as
j to the Improvement of said streets,
1 and to prepare the necessary peti
tions for Improvement of said streets
or parts of same, as in their findings
and Judgment it may be deemed wise
and expedient to do at this time.
Equitable Traction Rates.
The committees on more equitable
traction rates on the O. W. I'. was
continued with instructions to co-operate
with the Oak Grove and Glad
stone associations In securing the re
ductions desired, and tho committee
is empowered in the name of the board
of trade to take any and all steps it
may deem necessary to obtain such !
reduction and abate the discrimination
now in vogue.
The principal thing desired from
an Oregon City standpoint Is that
fares from stations between here and
Portland shall be the same for equal
distances north or south. Lower
northbound fares are desired, but
Bouth bound fares sholld be the same
as the northbound whatever the latter
may be.
Public 8entinel Committee.
The board believes an ounce of fore
knowledge Is worth two of regret, and
so a committee -consisting of O. W.
Eastham, W. S. U'Ren, and V. Harris,
was appointed to scrutinize, investi
gate and report on all measures before
the county court and the city coun
cil, and to bring to the attention of
the board any matter before said bod-
lea that HiIh committee may deem It
best to have an expression of the
business men or people of the vun
ty regarding the advisability of allow
ing the same to be acted upon. The
matter of amendment to the city ordi
nance giving freight franchise to the
O. W. P. & K. K. company now pend
ing before the city council, Is to bo
Investigated by this ftentlnel commit
tee. Road to Ogle Mines.
