The Republican are entirely san

M. Swift, Backed Heavily By Eastern Capital,
May Take Over Local Project and Start
- Construction Next Fall
Ansuranco Is given for tho construc
tion of an electric railway from Ore
gon City to a point near Maryuam, la
the Hoiitbcrn end of Clackamas Coun
ty, through tho Molalla section of tho
county, by K. M. Swift, who has for
some mouth been promoting tho es
tablishment of a plant for tho manu
facture of cement. It Is reported that
there aro Immense deposits of ma
terial for tho manufacture of cement
near Murquum and Mr. Swift, who la
heavily backed by EaHtera capital, has
obtained pom-union of practlcallly all
of the land that embrace the deposits,
and has already expended about )10,
000 In development work.
Mr. Swift had tentative plans laid
for the construction of a railway from
IiIh plant to Mt, Angel. The distance Is
short. He had made hlB surveys and
had also looked over the field from tho
Molalla country, with tormlnua at Can-
by. Aside from tho surveys nothing
definite had been accompllHhed, whenhavo already been obtained nearly to
Mr. Swift met I-wellyn Adams, a well
known merchant of this city, and Mr.
Adams called his attention to the pro
ject of the Oregon City, Heaver Creek
and Molalla Hallway, which was form
ed two years ago by local men, with
tho objoct of building a steam railroad
from Oregon City to Molalla and Wll
boll Springs, through Mullno, HeaVer
Creek and Liberal. Mr. Swift lost no
time In getting Into touch with local
promoter, and as a result It la very
probable that the work they have done
will be diverted to tho Swift project,
and ho will take up their right of way
and building a line from Oregon City,
starting up the Abernethy and running
to Marquam.

CHARLES PALMER DROWNED.
Logger Falls Into Pond at Noon's
Sawmill.
Charles palmer waa drowned Mon
day morning at Noon's sawmill four
miles east of Molalla corners. He was
flouting Iokh In the mill pond, when
ho lost his balance and fell off, and
drowned !n sight of the loglng crew,
It Is known that Palmer was able
to swim and it was accordingly sup
posed that his rescue could bo effected
without difficulty, but It is presumed
that ho was seized with a cramp or
was struck by some obstacle and he
quickly sank out of sight The body
was recovered. Palmer was 20 years
of age, and hod no relatives In this
community so far as Is known. Ho was
a recent arrival at tho sawmill. The
Information concerning the sad affair
was communicated to Coroner Hoi-
man and after ascertaining tie facts,
he concluded that an Inquest was an
necessary.
LICENSE TOWN DOGS.
Rod and Gun Club Will Help Impar
tial enforcement of Law.
Tho Oregon City Hod and Gun Club
got In action Friday and passed re
solutions declaring It tho sense of tho
association that every dog In Oregon
City should bo licensed. The recent
edict of Mayor Carll which ordered
tho strict enforcement of the dog li
cense ordlnanco was fully discussed
and a conimltteo consisting of Bert
Roake, John F. Clark, J. J. Cooke,
Charles Wright and George Ely, was
appointed to confer with tho Mayor
and offer tho assistance of tho Rod
and Gun Club In Insisting that tho pro
visions of the ordinance bo strictly
compiled with. It Is stated by tho of
ficers of the club that there Is no ob
jection among the members to the law.
except that in the past a remarkable
law percentage of the owners of dogs
have cheerfully paid their licenses
and hundreds of diseased and unlicens
ed dogs havo been allowed to roam
the streets at will.
Tho following officers were chosen:
John F. Clark, president; J. J. Cooke,
vice-president; Charles Wright, sec
retary; C. G. Miller, treasurer. Bert
floake, T. P. Randall and George
Campbell were appointed a committee
on grounds. The West Oregon City
grounds that were used last year were
not satisfactory and while tho commit
tee has no definite location In view,
they hope to secure a place with a
c'.oar skylight.
Myera Buys Undertaking Business.
The firm of Shank & Bissel have
sold their undertaking business to Tom
J, Myers of this city, formerly In tho
employ of J. P. Flnley & Son of Port
land. Mr. t Shank will continue In
charge of the business until June 1,
and, with- his wife, will spend the sum
mer In Southern Oregon, where they
have property Interests, and they will
visit friends In Eastern Oregon before
returning to Oregon City.
- Grand Theatre Opens.
The Grand Theatre was opened Sat
urday night In the Stratton building
by Schram ft Simmons. The building
was formerly ocouplcd by Melllen's
furniture store and has been fitted up
with an electric piano and other nec
essary paraphernalia for a movtug pic
ture show. This Is the second affair
of this kind to be installed in Oregoi
City. ,.
Swift, Is now In the field looking over
the situation, and If the farmers along
the proposed route do not stand In
their own light, the prospects for the
construction of tho road will be bright.
Mr. Swift Is much Impressed with the
poHslbllltles of the proposed line, be.
llevlng that tho rich territory would
make tho road pay from the start. He
proposes to ship barrel of cement
dally and by coming to Oregon City
will bave tbo advantage of either rail
or water transportation. Tae right of
way has already been secured from
Marguam to Mullno, and nearly
through Huckner Croek, and construc
tion Is expected t commence next
Fall.
Mr. Lorlng was In the city yester
day and stated that It Is not Mr.
Swift's Intention to stop at Marquam,
but that the road will be built on to
Scotts Mills, where there are large
doposlts of coal and that rights of way
Scotts Mills. It la more than probable
that the railway will be extended on
to tho timber belt, and tap the rich
resources of timber In southern
Clackamas.
Silas Wright, of Libera, has agreed
to give tho company the necessary
ground for depot privileges, and C. T.
Howard, of Mullno, has also come to
the front with all of the ground for
the depot and side tracks that Is re
quired. JoHeph Meyers, of Marquam,
has .promised the depot grounds at
his town. These are three points where
the site of tho depot rounds have
been definitely determined. The rail
way will pass within one-quarter mile
of Molalla corners, but the depot
there has not yet been located.
TONYGENINI GRANTED
A DECREE OF DIVORCE
JUDGE M'BRIDE RULES AGAINST
WOMAN AND GIVES CHILD
TO JOHN P. COLE.
The suit of Elma Geninl against To.
ny Geninl for a decree of divorce has
ended, and Monday Circuit Judge Mc
Bride made .a decision, awarding the
decree to the defendant, Geninl, and
giving the custody of the minor
daughter, Sophia, to John P. Cole, of
Molalla.
Elma and Tony Geninl had ther in
nlngs on Friday. The woman brought
tult against Geninl for a decree of di
vorce, charging cruel and Inhuman
treatment, but Tony came back with
a string of allegations that threaten
ed to wipe his wife off of the judicial
map. She has, or had, an admirer,
Andy Jeffry by name, and it seems
that tho husband followed Mrs. Gen
inl and Jeffry to Little Falls, Wash
ington, and found them in a hotel to
gether. They .were inclined to resent
his Interference and Jeffry used his
revolver without effect, firing several
shots at Geninl who took the posi
tion of discretion being better than
valor and he fled. The couple got Into
Oregon City before a warrant could
be served upon them. They next ap
peared In tho Portland police court,
having been arrested In a hotel by
Detective Inskeep, and while the wo
man was dismissed, Jeffry was sen
tenced to serve several months In
Jail, and he languishes there now. F.
M. Matthews, of Macksburg, who is
Mrs. Gonlnl's fathers, harbors no love
for his daughter's husband and per
mitted Jeffry to stick around the
farm. The principal fight was over
tho custody of Sophia Goninl, daugh
ter of the pair.
Miss Wright Lived Here.
Miss Nora Wright who was killed
at Morgan, In Morrow County, lost
Sunday afternoon by her jealous lover,
Henry P. Morrison, was well known

WILLAMETTE EX.8CH00L CLERK
PLEADS GUILTY AND IS SENT
TO PENITENTIARY.
COURT IS MERCIFUL
Embezzler and Forger Given Indeter
minate Sentence by Judge Mo
Bride and Will Probably be .
Out In Two Years,
Otto F. Olson Tuesday morning en-.
tcred a plea of guilty to the charge of
forging the name of Rudolph Koer
ner to a promissory note In favor of
II. C. Stevens for $250, and was given '
an Indeterminate sentence by Judge
McBiide. Under the statute upon
which the Indictment was based, the
penalty Is not less than two years In
the state penitentiary nor more than
20 years, and It Is usual for the Gov
ernor to pardon a criminal serving an
Indeterminate sentence at the expir
ation of the minimum time. In case
Olson proves a model prisoner he will
probably be released In two years.
Olson's attorney, George C. Brown-
ell, presented a lengthy statement
from Dr. House, a Portland alienist,
In which it was stated that Olson's
mind was such that he could not dis
tinguish between right aad wrong. In
passing sentence Judge McBrlde re
viewed the case briefly, expressing
sympathy for Olson's family. Olson
was taken to Salem Tuesday after
noon. Olsen was for many years superin
tendent of the West Side power plant
of the Portland General Electric Com
pany and was the trusted clerk of the
school district of Willamette, where
he resided. The directors of the dis
trict bad such faith in Olson that they
permitted him to handle the public
funds In a very unbusinesslike man
ner, and he managed to embezzle
something like $4000 before bis pe
culations were discovered.
Instead of making warrants payable
to the persons in whose favor they
were appropriated, the money waa
placed directly in the clerk's hands
for disbursement- and when several
thousand dollars was given him to
pay off the bonded Indebtedness of the
district, he calmly put the money in
his pocket and, paying the interest on
the bonds, he managed to keep secret
the fact that the debt was not nulrl
for about two years, when the direc
tors, growing suspicious over the fail
ure of thO bondincr eomnanv in return
the papers, made some investigations
of their own, disclosing Olson's guilt
He was arrested nn the nie-ht nt
February 13 at his home and haa heen
in. the County jail ever since. Efforts
to obtain bail for him were futile, and
the unfortunate man. hmken in hpnith
and spirit, declared his willingness to
pieaa guilty and take his medicine,
but his family and friends demurred
and until Mondav he hart resolved tn
fight the case.
After hi arrest. It was disrnvpreri
that the school district waa onlv nno
of the financial sufferers. He had bor.
rowed money right and left from his
friends and in more than one instance
had forged the names of others to
notes. It is stated that he even robbed
the Methodist Church, of which he
was trustee and financial agent, in
this manner. He obtained $250 from
H. C. Stevens on a note signed by
himself and Rudolph Koerner, forg
ing the name of the lattpr. and thin
