DltnlcK Saturday night Becured th passage of a resolution directing the Board of Governor of the Club to call a special tr.eethifr of the Cluh members and other Interested to take steps to block the proposed division. The annual meeting called out a goodly number of clubmen in order to straighten out the tangle In the ar ticles of Incorporation which failed to make clear Just what members of the Hoard of Governors should retire. There were three resignations made a follows: C. D. Latourette, Franklin T. Griffith and T. J. Gary, while the following directors were choesn, M. D. Ultourette, T. P. Randall, and Llnu E. Jones. Members who hold over are Judge T. A. McBride, our , Circuit Judges, J. V. Campbell and ' Eagan, V. S. Senator, Jonathan Hourne, Congressman W. C. Hawley and to the educators of Oregon and Clackamas County. While we did not enjoy the honor and pleasure of giving a reception tn our rooms here to President Taft on his visit to this State, a committee of this Club tendered our respects to that distinguished official on his pas sage through this city, and did It so well, that tt was couceded- by the Presidential Party, that no city of Its size had turned out a larger or more enthusiastic crowd, nor whose decora tions were In better taste than those of Oregon City. During the year the Club has had five smokers, enjoyed by all, and which in every case brought us in closer touch and to a better under standing with one another and also was the means of Inducing many of our guests to unite with the Club. The First Annual Ball held last month under the auspices of the Club, was voted by all who attended, as a splendid success, the best affair of Its kind that Oregon City had ever had. and one of which any city could be proud of. Believing that we should assist In the promotion of associations In the city working for the object of bringing about better understanding between people engaged in the same line of business, the Board tendered the use of the reception room for the meet ings of the Grocery and other lines of business and also allowed the Wo men's Club to hold its meetings in our parlors. We have also presented cards to tho wives, daughters and sisters of nil members of the Club, extending to them tho privileges and free use of all rooms on Tuesday afternoons of each week; this last action has met with most satisfactory results. In the matter of improvement of the Willamette River between this city nnd Portland, and the construc tion of new Locks on the East side of the River, we invited both of our IT. S. Senators and both of our Con gressmen to visit with us, and take up the question, with the view of in ducing the General Government to enter upon these two much needed projects, and in response to these in vitations, beings visited by Senator Bourne and Congressman Hawley, we presented such facts and figures, as led both of these gentlemen to assure (Concluded on page 6.)

OREGON CITY YOUTH USES DEADLY WEAPON LOVELORN ALVIN WOODCOX HAS QUARREL WITH GIRL HAD PLANNED REVENGE. Despondency over a love affair and scarcity of money caused Alvin Wood cox, an Oregon City youth, to fire a 32-callbre bullet Into hlB body in the Arcade Hotel, 14CV4 First street, Port land, at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening. The bullet was deflected by a rib and lodged beneath the skin at the pit of his right arm. It was extracted by surgeons at St. Vincent's Hospital later. His condition is not regarded as serious. Wootlcox is said to have been a pulp-worker in an Oregon City paper mill until recently. As a sequel to a quarrel with his sweetheart, Woodcox quit his employment last week. When he failed to effect a reconciliation he came to Portland. In the early ev ening he entertained Wesley Green, a friend from Oregon City, In his room. Woodcox loaded the weapon with which he endeavored to end his life. As he laid It on a dresser, he centered his remark upon the loaded revolver and said: "If I was In Oregon City now, some girl would get hers." In the conversation that followed Woodcox Intimated that he had plan ned revenge. A few minute after Green had left the morose youth fired the bullet into his own body. He then ran down three flights of stairs to the street where he sank unconscious to the sidewalk. A Red Cross auto-am bulance took him to the hospital. BY-LAWS ARE REPORTED.

HEADS FOR MOLALLA Will Probably Cross Willamette River at or Short Diitance South of Rock Itland Molalla People Live In Hope. The Portland Railway, Light t Pow er Company last Monday commenced construction of an electric railway from West Oregon City to Oswego, a distance of four miles, In order to handle the logging business for the Willamette Pulp & Paper Compay, the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper Campany and the Hawley Pulp Paper Company. This report, which has been in circulation here for some weeks, was given confirmation Sat urday by an official of the company. The line will be an extension of the Willamette Falla Railway, running south from West Oregon City past Willamette, and the surveys will be started Monday by Superintendent C. A. Miller, of the Willamette Falls Company. It Is Intended to have the road in operation within three months. While the road will be built primar ily to relieve the present situation re. lative to the transportation of log from the lower to the upper river. Is is not the Intention of the company to Ignore the possibilities of passenger traffic and a schedule will be main tained. This will be of immeasurable benefit to Oregon City, as the trade of the entire Oswego district has been going to Portland for years. It Is understood that the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has perfected arrangements with the Sou thern Pacific Company to use the tracks of the latter corporation from Oswego to Portland, but tnls arrange ment will probably not be entered Into until after the construction of the Wil lamette River bridge, which will be built in connection with the Wlllsburg cut-off. This Information Is apparent ly reliable and means that the com pany will have a line down each side of the river between Oregon City and Portland. For many years the paper mills at Oregon City have been compelled to bring their logs by water from the lower river, and the only feasible time has been during the two summer months when the Willamette Is back ed up. The logs, millions of feet of them, are taken through the canal and locks and boomed along the banks of the upper. As the mills have grown, however, this arrangement has not been satisfactory. There is not room along the upper river for such Im mense quantities of logs and during a freshet there Is great danger of loosing the booms. In 1901 600,000 feet of the choicest spruce logs went over the falls. With the construction of an elec tric railway, logs can be brought up from the lower river as they are wanted and dumped, from the cars at whatever point desired. Something like 60,000,000 feet of logs are brought to the mills every year from the lower river, and the item of lockage Is no small one. There is a report current that the company will eventually build a bridge across the Willamette at Rock Island, three miles above Oregon City and run an electric line Into the New Era. Molalla and Marquam country. If this is true, then it is certain that some arrangements have been made with the recently formed cement man ufacturlng company at Oswego to transport the great deposits of lime rock from the Marquam to the Os wego plant. For the last two years the West Side paper companies have abandon ed the attempt to bring logs to the mills by water and have been ship ping them by the Southern Pacific main line. EBY AN UNCERTAIN QUANTITY. Popular Attorney Will Not State Just What Attitude He Will Take. The unauthorized boom for Attorney O. D. Eby for county judge of Clacka mas county caused considerable com ment Saturday in local circles. Mr. Eby' has occasion to be at the court house quite often and Is now hailed as "judge" by many of his friends. The popular attorney takes all the chaff that Is extended to him good naturedly. The boomof Mr. Eby for this office came moTe as a sur prise to that estimable gentleman than to several other people who know that his candidacy would be urged by a local paper. It Is whispered that there are politicians who verv ir.uch desire to know whether Mr. Eby real ly would become a candidate for coun. ty judge or not, and they took this means of smoking him out. If this report is true, the plan, so far, has met with failure, as Mr. Eby has not indicated just what he will do when the time comes. SCHMIDT HITS THE TRAIL.
