Finding that ho had unwittingly violated tho Corrupt Practice Act by neglecting to affix his signature to a printed communication designed to bring about tho removal of the his torlc home of Dr. John McLotigulln from the public square donated to the city by MeLoiighlln, John W. lender, nn attorney of this city, on Saturday Issued a statement acknow ledglng tho authorship of the letter, which wns mailed to every voter In the city Inst Saturday morning and which was full of misstatements and misrepresentations calculated to bring discredit upon the house which Mc IOiighlln built and where he inailo his homo until his death. Mr. Loder made a typewritten statement In which ho stated he was unaware that his failure to sign the original letter constituted a violation of the Corrupt Practice Act and that he Is daslrlous of making such corrections as lie In his power. This statement wns posted about tbe city Sunday afternoon. The Instant the original letter was placed In circulation tho attention of the oftlcerB of the McLotighltn Mem orlal Association was called to the ap parent violation of the Corrupt Prac tice Act and K.

Dec. 7 Washing ton, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Wisconsin, In the order named, constitute the Illg Five In producing the country's lumber supply whose valuation for last year runs far above tbe half billion dollar ' mark. Texas, Michigan, Oregon, Minnesota and Pennsylvania came after the first five suites nnd others followed In decreas ing amounts down to Utah, the lowest on tbe list, with Nevada and- North Dakota, having little timbered area, not rated at all. While the total valuation of the lum ber, lutb and shingle production reach ed $541,545.G40, this amount repre sents a decrease of twenty-three per cent, under the prevlne year's output. The number of mills reporting was 81.231 nnd these manufactured 33. 224.309,000 board feet of lumber, val ued at $510,575822 and 2.98C.684.000 lath valued at $0,791,328, while the shingle makers turned out 12.106.000 shingles valued at $24,178,490. The averago value of lumber at the point of manufacture was $15.37 a thousand feet. $2.27 a thousand for lath and $2 thousand for shingles. Yellow pine of the South which has been far In the lead In the lumber pro duction for more thnn a decade, more than maintained Its supremacy last year, contributing slightly more than 33 per cent, of the total cut from all kinds. Douglas fir of the Northwest ranked second and white pine third. Practically all kinds showed a marked decreased cut, and for the first three kinds of timber there was a falling off of fifteen, twenty-two and twenty per cent, respectively. Oak and hemlock maintained their relative ranks, but showed decreases of twenty-live per cent each In amount produced, and spruce dropped eighteen per cent Ixmislana was tho heaviest producer of yellow pine lumber, supplying near ly one-fifth of the total production. Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas and Ala bama followed In the order named. The state of Washington, alone, supplied more than three-fifths of the Douglas fir cut, while the bulk of the remaind er came from Oregon. Minnesota pro duced about a third of the white pine, followed by Wisconsin with about 15 per cent, and New Hampshire with ten per cent. An Interesting feature of the report Is that two New England states, Maine and Massachusetts, pro duced more white pine than Michigan, which for many years led the country In producing this valuable timber. Oak lumber manufacture now cen ters In Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee. Wisconsin comes first In the production of hemlock, taking the position held by Pennsylvania for so many years. Altogether the lumber report bulletin, wnlch Is free, by the way, contains fifty-seven pages, and gives detailed figures upon the qual ity and value of forty-five kinds of lumber manufactured In the United States last year. MARY ADELE NOT ENGAGED TO BEAM MOTHER OF MISS CASE SAYS PUBLISHED STORY IS NOT GENUINE. Mrs. Mary Case made a donlnl Wed nesday of tho story In an evening newspaper conveying the trltelllgence In a dispatch from San Francisco of the engagement of her daughter. Miss Mary Adele Case, the young contralto singer, to Wlllnrd Metcalf Beam, a nephew of Ex-Secretary of the Navy Motcalf. 'I never mentioned a word about this to anybody," said Mrs. Case, "and I do not believe It Is true, for If Mary had wanted the public to know of her engagement she would have told the Oregonlan. I am sure she would have told me If an engagement existed, but she hns not uone so, and I am incline 1 to doubt the genuineness of the Infor mation contained in the published story." Mrs. Case declined to state whether Mary Adele had ever talked about Beam In her letters home. "That Is fur me to know and others to find" out," she said. n n . ii . ..i.i ... . i .i in ii.. : w ... J i , j.;; ' : " . -.' ' ' .... - n ii i, i I PUBLICITY THAT PAYS FIRST REPORT OF ENERGETIC DEPARTMENT OF CLUB MADE PUBLIC. MONEY IN ADVERTISING Secretary 8. P. Davla Haa Received 1228 Letters From Persona Thlraiing for Information About the West. The first report of the publicity committee of the Oregon City Com mercial Club was given to the press yesterday la an Interesting document. It bears the signature of S. P. Davis secretary of the publicity department, which Is a sufficient guarantee of Its correctness and thoroughness. Sever al score of public spirited citizens have been paying In their good money for several months for work of pub licity and they, as well as others, will be glad to see a report of the publicity work Bent broadcast. On December 29 there will be a meeting of the sub acrlbers to the fund, along with all of the members of the Commercial Club, to listen to exploitation plans and results. The report of the public ity secretary follows: Report of the Publicity Department of the Oregon City Commercial Club to the Hoard of Governors, Monday, December 6, 1909: The money raised for our work Is being cautiously and we believe Judi ciously expended with the advice of a committee of ten, chosen by you, In compliance wlih our request, from among the most prominent business and professional men of this city, who at the same time are among the largest contributors to our funds. Hence, we really have a committee of fifteen, besides the secretary, for the consideration o fthe expenditure of the money entrusted to us. If some new method of advertising Is sug gested, or If some ordinary method is proposed thla committee is called to gether In Joint meeting with our own, when the whole matter Is thoroughly considered and conscientiously de cided by the votes of these gentle men. And we believe that all our con tributors and the public generally must feel assured that tbe decisions of such a body of men, made after most painstaking effort to know what la best, are worthy of all confidence and respect We have tried different methods nf getting the attention of prospective settlers. One of the first things we did was to put out an edition of one hundred thousand "publicity stamps." We have also published some pub licity envelopes and writing tablets, which are being extensively used by some of our public spirited citizens. When such publicity matter goes East it carries with It an endorsement from those sending it which is most ef fective. But like all similar organiza tions, we have depended largely on the advertising which can be done in newspapers and magazines. Thus far we have had advertisements for a greater or less length of time In the following periodicals: The Pacific Monthly. The St. Louis Republic. Farm Progress, The Woman's Nation al Daily, Kansas City Star, Indiana Farmer, Hoard's Dairyman, St. Joseph Fruit urower, Indianapolis Star. St Paul Farmer's Dispatch, Illinois State Journal, Orange Judd Farmer. Nation al Farmer and Stock Raiser, Minne apolis Farmer's Tribune, Missouri Valley Farmer, Farmers' Mall and Rreeze, Field and Farm. American Poultry Journal, Montreal Family Her ald and Star, Cleveland Plaindealer, Minneapolis Tribune, Pittsburg Dis patch and the St. Louis Globe Demo crat, twenty-three In all. The secre tary of this committee keeps a careful record of Inquiries In answer to our advertisements In different periodicals for guidance In future advertising. More recently every advertisement Is keyed" in order that the address on the envelope (as to "Department A," "Department B," etc.) may indicate where the advertisement was seen If no mention is made in the letter. Now when we get the inquiries which came in answer to our adver tisements we must have something to send to the writers. Very often a personal letter Is necessary In or der to anwer the questions asked. The getting and the writing of informa tion In answer to special questions entails upon the secretary no small amount of work. But when the writ er simply asks for literature we send what we have. But the reading of ii Is likely to bring a number of ques tions which have to be answered by a personal letter. As to the printed literature which we send out, all mem bers of this board are doubtless aware that thus far It is what is called "The Clackamas County Bulleln," edited by the secretary of this committee. In this we ai mto give terse and timely statements of the up-to-date facts and Just the information for which correspondents are asking. The following Is a statement of our receipts and expenditures to the close of December 1st. Total recelps (in cluding $29.90 from the sale of pub licity envelopes) $2489.15. Expendi tures have been as follows: Advertis ing (including the cost of "publicity stamps," $578.62; printing, $297.21; half-tone cuts for illustration of pub lication, $S2.20; secretary's salary, to November 15, $435.00; offlco furnish ings, (Including newly purchased type writer, $193.41; postage, office assist ance and Incidentals, $344.82, making a tntal of $1931.30. Balance in treas ury, $557.85. The secretary has adopted such a method of book-keeping that our finan cial condition can be shown at a glance and all bills, warrants and re ceipts are bo arranged and classified that every dollar can at once be ac counted for. What we have thus far been doing is largely foundation work. Founda tion (nulfiflrt Hf knln ...n...l. ........ ' ........ uw,,njii .uwun arv, usually out of sight. So, necessarily, must be much of our work in lis early history, and the public may wonder whether we are doing anything. But let any Impatient ones, If such there be, wait a little longer; let them trust Une sixteen gentlemen (including the secretary) who have this matter In charge; let them In every possible way give their co-opcratlon, and ri sulta (and ultimately great resulta) are sure to follow. By actual count the secretary haa received to this date and now haa on file in his office 1228 letters and postal cards from persons Interested in this locality and asking for information. To these and to others whose names and addresses have been obtained In-; different ways we have sent out about 22,000 copies of the "Clackamas Couu ty Bulletin." Already a number of persons have come to our town be cause they have received literature and letters from thla office. Only about two dozen of such, so far as any record shows, have actually called upon the secretary; but he has as surances of the arrival of many others who never visit this office. But It is, aa yet, too early in the history of our work for us to expect many new arrivals as a result of it. Many are giving assurance that they are com ing. One man in Maryland, with wife and ten children, has Just sent to the secretary the money with which , to) pay a month a rent for a house which has been engaged for hirj from Janu- ary 1st, when he expects to arrive But generally the new arrivals need not be expected before spring; and fortmey ffhaT'tm0 in conclusion It may be said that If anybody, whoever It may be, has ati j, , - "V ' " "- any time any helpful suggestions that I IT'n u , o"""-Me o prevent are new to the committee, for the xe. bu'ldin frKom ol"f on thf fn,lar8 furtherance of this work, such sug.!b,fln beatfn b a majority of 70 and gestions will be thankfully received I fh?,'ecOD,d ord'naD V7 remotvf ttbe n,l erln.ll .rmWereH.-h!lfevr I building from the block On Which It . . . , - . . .. . action may finally be taken with re spect to them by the men who are mnHe rornlhl tor Ihl. wni-b onH hence, with all due respect to others, ony ,0,hf struggle was for council must act in accordance with their own man ln the 8e0D( ward and A- KnaPP best Judgment lltCTnilltr nirlinn ALj 1 K-ANj IlUUKt IN LOCAL POLITICS VIOLATIONS OF CORRUPT PRAC TICE ACT ARE REPROVED ON ELECTION DAY. It is very evident that the local Austrian colony cut considerable fig ure In Monday's election and it has been demonstrated beyond question that this element is able to swing a close election, such as Monday's was. There are several score of Austrlans In Oregon City, most, if not all of them are working band in glove with Matt Justin, a local saloonkeeper n all matters political, and Justin nar rowly escaped serious trouble in vio lation of the Corrupt Practice Act in the first ward Monday morning by attempting to show three of his fellow countrymen how to mark their ballots.- Constable Miles was present at the polling place and warned Justin to take his henchmen away. It was reported that later In the dav the three men returned one by one and voted, but Mr. Miles denied this re- port and-stated this morning that he watched for the men and they did not return. The Corrupt Practice Act makes it a misdemeanor to so licit votes on the day of election and Dr. Vladimir Jindra. of Gladstone. was charged by Constable Miles with violating this section of the Act and he was warned by the officer to desls;. "I am a free born American citizen," exclaimed the doctor, but that made no difference to Miles. These incidents resulted In a com plaint being made to Chief of Police Burns, who went to the polling place and made Inquiry Into the matter. When he learned from Constable Miles the true condition of affairs there, he refused to interfere. The Corrupt Practice Act-is a new law and is not generally understood among the rank and file of the voters and reported violations are probably Innocent ones. Almost universal Ig-1 norance about the provisions of the law is proven In the action of John W. Loder, who, although he is an attorney, issued a communication two days before election, antagonizing the McLoughlln home, and failed to attach his signature. Modern Woodmen Choose Officers.

Ward three went heavily for Eastham, his majority there being 47. In the third ward the ordinances designed to move the Mc Loughlln home from the public square were carried, but the vote was more than wiped out in the first and second wards. Tbe result of the election Is a sig nal of defeat for the men who have been working months to arouse pub lic sentiment against the preserva tion and restoration of the residence of Oregon City's founder. The anony mouns communication issued Satur day and to which John W. Loder later acknowledged the authorship probably lost more votes to the ordinances than any other one instrument.
