The Hilt Improvement Club held a very enthusiast If meeting Monthly. The meeting wuh largely attended and much Interest taken. Seven mem bers were taken In. A committee on the Improvement of WnHhlnglon street was nppiiliiieil and Ih comiHwed of the following; Dr. A. U Heinle, W. W. Mnrs. If. U l'nltermin, M. 0. 1'hll Hps, l. C. linker. Three members of the club, one from ench ward were appointed tu attend the council meet ing as rcpreHciitiitlvcH from the club anil to keep In touch with the work IngH of the council anil of the needs of their respective wards. The fol lowing were appointed: Ward 1 (). I). Kby; Ward 2 K. J. Lanklns; Ward :t-K. M. McCaiiHliind,' The secretary was liiHtructed to con fer with Interested parties In regard to eHiuhllshlng a commission house In Oregon Clly. and to secure the co operation of the merchants. O. D. Kby and Jr. A. U Ileatle were iipiHilnleil to ronfer with K. M. Swift regarding the Molalla rallroud proposllloii, asHurlug Mr. Swift that I be members of the urgnnl.atloii would give him all the HsslHtanre they could to promote the work along. eleventh Htriit will be Improved. Twelfth will mil. This vexatious iiientliiii wuk finally deiermlui'd Tuesdiiy night at a special meeting of the clly council, at which all of the nine members were present, 11111I ended the controversy that Iiiih In en troubling the minds of scores of people for more ihari a year. Dr. M. C. Strickland, councilman from the third ward, cut the Cordlan knot, bv declaring himself In favor of the Im provement of Klevi-nlli HI reel, after Hie lliemliiTH of Hie council llllll full- cliulcd that only one street should In- Improved. The meeting was well nt tended by inaiiy property owners who have di rect Interest In the matter. In order Hint peuee mid harmony might be ap parent the members of the council went Into executive session ami ufler declilliig thai II would not be tiihiness Hiicy to Improve two streets, running parallel, a straw vote was taken, with the following re Hiilt: Kleventli street Strickland, Shell hail. Michaels, Knapp. .Meyer. Twelfth Htreet AnderHi-n, l'ope, ClHik", ll.-t.e. This settled the quest Ion and fur ther consideration of the ordinance for Improvement of Twelfth street wa abandoned, and the council passed the Kleventli street ordinance, without an opposing vote, Councilman Cooke ask ing lo be excused from voting, as It Is understood ho had declared thut he would not vote In favor of the Im provement of Kleventli street. The estimates of the city engineer of the cost of Improving Eleventh street are liO.SHfi.lfj. This embraces an Improvement from Van lluren street to the river, while It was pro IHised to Improve Twelfth street from the river to Taylor Htreet. three blocks farther than on Eleventh from Van-' lluren. The cost of Improving Twelfth to Taylor Is ch limited nt $:'0.771.;74 which would seem more desirable, as It would open up three blocks more of territory.; The property between Van Buren and Harrison strets boa never had an open street and the council Tuesday night closed a ileal for the acquisition of a fit) foot strip from Van lluren to Harrison on Twelfth. The Improve ment of Eleventh will end at Van- lluren, and the street will have no outlet beyond Van lluren. It Ih Intended however, to improve Taylor St., from Seventh to Twelfth street and the clly engineer was or dered to submit plans and- specifi cations for thlH Improvement. When HiIh proposed Improvement Is com pleted, there will be accomodation for traffic from Seventh to Twelfth on Taylor. The property owners on both Eleventh and Twelfth streets are at last able to breathe with relief at the termination of the whole proji-OHltlon. ENTHUSIASTIC OVER PROSPECTS AT OGLE RICH ORE IS FOUND AND THE INVESTMENT WILL REPAY MANY FOLD. Attorney O. D. Eby, L. H. Klrchem and John II. Kalrclough returned iniirsuuy irorn a live days' trip to the Oglo Mountain mines, having taken In a load of provisions for the winter. John Scott, the miller of Scotts Mills, accompRiili-d the party and stayed In the mines. ,r, i;i,y when seen after his return was en ihiislaHtlc over the prospect of the Ogle Mountain Mining Company. "The men have gone nearly to the top of the mountain," he said, "and have done about lfn'O feet of tunneling and sloping. The ore Ih rich, some of the finest I have ever seen any where and I went right Into the tun nel and got It out with a pick. A great deal of money has been pul Into the Ogle Mountain mines for equipment, but It will be returned many fold. The men at work there have worked hard and have mailt- wonderful progress. They have a road lnm the mines, und besides the slump mill, they have Innalleil a sawmill, an electric IlKht pla.it. an aerial tram way und other machinery and equip ment. The future outlook of the mine Is assured." 1 SWIFT WILL PAY FOR IT WANTS HIS FAMILY AND GOES INSANE HANS OEUMAN SUDDENLY BE COMES CRAZED BECAU8E WIFE WOULD NOT JOIN HIM. 10 YEARS FOR NOTHING Compensation Fixed at $600 Per Year For 8econd Ten Year And $1,000 Per Annum Far the Remainder. Tuesday night was a busy one for the council and the difference between F. M.

Hauman was violent, hard to handle, and had to be carried up the Jail steps by two of the officers. He was taken In charge by Constable Miles, after he had threatened con siderable excitement In the south end of the city by uncoupling an engine from a Southern Pacific train and run ning through an internirban car, from which he was ejected. He offered no resistance to the officer, when taken. Hauman had a hearing before County Judge Dimick Monday and was committed to the Insane asylum.

Clyde Smith who was arrested at St. Johns Monday by Constable Miles, and placed In the county Jlal In de fault of $1,000 bonds, was released Teusday upon promise to marry Miss Herthena Howard. The ceremony was performed by Justice of the Pence Samson. Frost & Kellogg were Monday after noon awarded the contract for the completion of the addition to the Eastham school building at a special meeting of the Board of Directors. They had the lowest bid. $750. and only one other bid was presented, that of George A. Brown, for $920. The rooms will' he finished as soon as pos sible and will be ready for occupancy alHiut September 1. The Board of Directors will hold a special meeting this week to fix the date for the opening of the city scools and attend to other matters that re quire their attention. Oue of these Is the final determination as to the location of the high school, which haB been in the Barclay building for many years. It Is altogether probable that the high school will be transferred to the Eastham building, where there is more room, and where It will prob ably remain until It has secured a separate high school building. This change will make It possible to In stall the eight grammar grades In the Barclay building, where they are only eight rooms. L.

MIhb Harrington was three weeks on her way home, visiting at St. Croix, I'nAlaska. Dutch Harbor, Seward, Vnldi'. Uitotisch Copper Mines, Cordova, Juneau, Treudwell Mines, Wrangle. She also visited the Miles and Cbilda glaciers. These were reached by way of the now railroad recently built by Guggenheim and J. Plerpont Morgan, these two men ar riving there the day Miss Harrington vl Hit i'd the place. Of nil of the places visited on her return trip, Miss Har rington stutes that Cordova was the mosl prosperous. Miss Harrington brought with her many curios, among them being totem poles, and firs. George Harrington, brother of MIhb Harrington, who Iiiih been a res ilient of Alaska for several years, will return In about two months, and has decided to give up life In the Alaska country. TH E REAL HOT MONTH IS COMING Summer Campers Will Desert the Cltv Tor the Woods and the Canning Season Will Return Lawrence Ruconich, proprietor of The Planet saloon, was arrested Sat urday, charged with selling liquor to Otis Shelly, of Maple Lane, in viola tion of the city ordinance, which for bids saloon men from giving liquor to anyone whose family has requested It. Ruconich may lose his license If convicted. Shelly was sold liquor in the Planet saloon last Tuesday and was accompanied by his brother, James Shelly, and George Shortlidge. The complaint was made out by Dep uty District Attorney Stipp. and sworn to before City Recorder V. A. Dim ick. Attorney John V. Loder filed the complaint. The hearing in the case against Ruconich has been set for today. Peo ple who are Interested in the prose cution of the case say that they have an absolute case against Ruconich who denies having any knowledge of the matter. With scarcely four weeks left fore the subscription campaign augurated by the Enterprise will come to a close, there is absolutely no cer tainty In predicting who shall win the grand prize of a $00 lot In South Oregon City, or who will be the favor ed ones to get the magnificent vaca tion trip to Long Beach with all ex penses paid at the Breakers Hotel, or who will be the lucky one to secure a business education free of charge at the Behnke-Walker Business College. Miss Curran has turned In sufficient votes this week to still retain the lead, but Miss Dale will probably be a very close second when her report comes In. Miss Hutchinson has been 111 the pst week, but promises to get enough votes netx week to more than make up for the lost time. Oak Grove and Molalla report can didates who are out to win and un less all signs fail there promises to be a merry race at the finish. Any young lady who gets right In and digs has more than an even chance to win. There are eight prizes and any one of them Is worth while striv ing for. The work should be easy for besides the Enterprise for one year, regular price $1.50, we give the subscriber the Pacific Northwest and a pair of $1.00 shears all for $1.50. Renewals count the same as new subscriptions. Record Prices for Hogs. New record prices were reached In the hog market at Portland during the past week. Last Thursday hogs advanced to $9 per 100 pounds, this being the highest value ever recorded within the memory of the trade. A shopment of 77 hogs hogs from the I Willamette Valley received this at 'tractive figure. The hogs, averaged 1184 pounds each and brought the un 1 usual price of better than $16.55 each. 1 Mrs. Grace and Daughters Arrive. The. many friends of Mrs. G. W.

The resolution was bitterly opposed by the Insurgents and Demo crats, but Aggrlpa Aldrlchus and Meac enas Cannous put It through, and Cow siinius Vltlmatus, the leader of the op position, was made a galley slave. The fight was one of the most thrilling In the history of Rome, and It kept the Senate 'In session bo late In the summer that some of the senators al most missed their chautauqna engage ments. ; . . In the beginning, too, August had but twenty-nine days, and It was pretty generally felt that this was enough; but Julius Caeser added two days and only the entreaties of the people re strained him from adding two or three more. He liked August. It was a glorious season In the Pontine marshes and the hardiness of manhood which subsequently made him Imperial Cae ser he attributed to swimming In green ponds, fighting mad dogs and going with his big toe bandaged In the good old days when the boys called him "Red."
