FUNDS FOR
PUBLIC DOCK
Committee Will Open Sub-
scription Papers to Defray
Cost of Wharf
STREET IMPROVEMENT
Council on Record Favoring Making
Moss and Eleventh Streets
If Dock Money Is
Pledged,
The movement for a public wharf
at the foot of Eleventh street has tak
en definite shape and John Adams,
Frank Uusch and J. A. McGlashan,
committee from the board of trade,
will take Immediate steps to put the
project beyond the paper stage.
Certain parties have offered to do
nate liberally to the enterprise and
as soon as something definite Is se
cured from boatmen, subscription pa
pers will be opened to raise the nec
eHxary cash to build a substantial and
commodious dock. It is estimated
that a good one, sufficient for present
needs, can be built for from $1800 to
$2000, The estimates secured were
an agreeable surprise as it had been
guessed that the dock would cost at
east $3000.
Mr. Adams, chairman of the commit
tee, will go to Portland and endeavor
to Interest Rteamboatmen In the en
terprise. Several captains have of
fered to make regular stops and pay
proper wharfage dues.
The wharf will be constructed to
accommodate both freight and pas
senger traffic. The committee will
endeavor to secure a lln? V.f mnf
making regular trips up and down
tho river. '
The success of the project of course
depends on the Improvement of Elev
enth street from Main to Water street,
but this should present no difficulty
as the council committee to whom the
improvement was referred, made a
report favoring the Improvement of
tho street as soon -an funds for the
dock were pledged. All the adjacent
property owners are in favor of the
Improvement and they will bear the
bulk of the expense.
Tho council special committee's re
port was signed by Mayor E. G. Cau
fleld and Councilman Wm. Andresen,
and was as follows:
"If tho public dock proposed by the
board of trade Is to be built we be
lieve that the Improvement of the
streets named should be ordered made,
even if the permanent street Improv
ment fund for next year should have
to be anticipated to pay for same. In
our opinion, without having any defi
nite Information as to what the cost
of the Improvement of the streets al
ready ordered Improved this year,
will be, the permanent street improve
ment fund will be considerably over
drawn without the propolad Improve
ment. If ie business raennd prop
erty owners of Oregon City feel that
the building of a public dock will be
a sufficient benefit to pledge enough
funds to build a good and substantial
dock, that will meet with the approv
al of council, then we recommend that
improvement be ordered. Without
such assurance the improvement would
not benefit the general public to any
great extent, and we do not believe
that the council would be justified In
overdrawing the permanent street Im
provement fund for the amount nec
essary to make the Improvement."
This report was unanimously ac
cepted by council, which Is sufficient
to show that body will act favorably
on the improvement of the streets
when the funds for the dock are
pledged. i
CHAUTAUQUA DIRECTORS.
At a meeting or the board of direc
tors of the Willamette Valley Chau
tauqua assembly Friday morning, it
was voted to place the price of season
tickets at $2.50, a raise of 50 cents
over the old price.
The board decided the increase was
absolutely necessary, owing to the
constantly Increasing cost of the pro
grams. The first one ever given by
the association cost $2000, whllo last
year the expense for platfolm talent
and singers reached $5000. It costs
over $400 a day to run Chautauqua.
It was provided, however, that sea
son tickets may be sold In blocks of
ten at $2 each until the opening ses
sion, after which the price will bo
straight $2.50.
,Thla year the campers will be re
quired to pay $1 for each tent, to par
tially reimburse the assembly tor wa
ter, cleaning up the grounds, etc.
Plenty of Baseball.
Rev. Dell of Salem .will have his
wish gratified for there will bo plen-
ty of base ball and of the best quality

City league Frakes, Trunkmakers,
Bralnard'a Cubs and North Pacifies.
Those teams are playing good ball
I now and by July will be going at a
'fast clip. The team from the Chema-
wa Indian achool will form tho fifth
club, and the greatest baseball tour
nament ever held In Oregon will re
sult, It will be under the same rules
and conditions as last year, except a

No formal application for. entry was

Relief from Rheumatic PainsJ
I suffered with rheumatism for
over two years," says Mr. Rolland
Curry, a patrolman, of Key West, Fla.
Sometimes it settled in my knees
and lamed me so I could hardly walk,
at other times it would be In my feet
and hands so I was Incapacl&ted for
duty. One night when I was in se
vere pain and lame from it my wife
went to the drug store here and came
back with a bottle of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. I was rubbed with It and
found the pain had nearly gon? during
the night. I kept on using it for a
little more than two weeks and found
that It drove the rheumatism away. I
have not had any trouble frpm that
disease for over three months." For

DIFFERENCE
OF OPINION
County Court Divided on Con
stitutionality of Legis
lative Act of 1893
OSWEGO PROCEEDINGS
Commissioners Killen and Lewellen
Vote That Proposed Village
May Incorporate, Judge
Dimlck Dissenting.
The county court declare
by a
Sa-,rnjorltr vote that Oswego may
,,orate aml an election will pro
Incor-
probably
oi cues ami towns y
the county court. Judge Grant B. Dim
lck held that the act was not con
stitutional, as the court has no right
fo exercise legislative functions, and
that Incorporations' should be made
by the people as provided by the in
itiative act' of 190C, which took. tho
authority to create municipal cor
porations out of the bands of the leg
islature. Commissioners Killen and Lewellen
upheld the law, however, and it is
probable that a vote will be ordered
permitting the Oswego people, who
have petitioned the county court to
be allowed to form a corporation un
der the act of 1893, to determine the
matter.
Before this is done the members of
the court will visit the place and make
an examination of the territory it is
proposed to embrace In the limits of
the corporation, as the Oregon Iron
and Steel company, which has ex
tensive holdings at Oswego, has pro
tested against being drawn into the
corporation. The law of 1893 gives
the county court power to reduce the
boundaries of the corporation, and
Commissioners Lewellen and- Killen
said they believe the area was too
great. Attorney W. S; Uren, for the
petitioners, stated that, his clients
would probably withdraw their pe
tition rather than Bubmlt to the re
duction of the area.
Held on Serious Charge.
D. McCoy Is in the county Jail on
a charge of assault with Intent to com
mit rape on Emma Fisher, an 8-year
old girl residing at Milwaukie. Mc
Coy claims to reside at Washington
and East Water streets in Portland
and was taken In custody at Mil
waukie. Deputy District Attorney O.
D. Eby, upon being notified of the
arrest of McCoy, went to Milwaukie
and had the man arraigned before
the local Justice of the peace. Hi3
bonds were fixed at $5Q0, but he was
unable o furnish the amount and was

to be mentally unbalanced, He is a

M. J. Sharkey has filed a lien in
the office of the county clerk against
J. B. Tillotson. The plaintiff claims a
lien of $3G1 against 45 sticks of red
fir, making 8f00 feet of piling.
.ONLY $15,000 UNCOLLECTED.
Ouly $15,000 of the 1906 taxes are
uncollected from a total of $238,754.
This leaves but little for the October
collection and is a sure index of the
wonderfully prosperous condition of
affairs In old Clackamas. Last year
was a good year for tax collections, in
fact about the best known, but on
July 1, when Sheriff lieatie went Into
office there was $20,000 still uncol
lected of a roll amounting to $211,622.
This year, 45 days earlier, of a roll
$27,000 larger, only a little over half
as much is uncollected compared to
last year.
