"The said Initiative measure pro vide that a large portion of the In-' debteilness of Clackamas County, now anouutliiK to about flim.iiou, shall he is-uiiiieil and llipilduted by the tax payers of Multnomah County. "The success of this measure would be n step backward III opisi sltlon to the modern tendency noted amoiiK the lurner American cities to curtail, rather than enlarite, the ar eas of the rouutles of which they are Ihe respective county seats aud to administer under one Kovenuuetit the affairs nf both county and city.

"The ballot at the coming election also contains a measure for the an nexatlou to Multnomah County of a portion of Washington County, ag gregating 12 square miles. If Ihe 'Seci-aalonlstH' nnd "Annexalloiildls' are successful in changing the bound dary lines of all three counties In volved, the Firth Judicial IMstrloi of Oregon consisting of tho counties of Clatsop, Washington, Columbia and Clackamas, will no longer lie con tlglons; the counties or Washington and Clackamas being In that event, separated by the newly-formed wedge of Multnomah County. "Th present mode of cffeclliiK changes In Iho county boundaries is, ll Ik believed, wrong In principle.

EXON'S LETTER IS ANSWERED BY BLACK CHARGES LEGISLATIVE CANDI DATE WITH 8EVERAL MIS REPRESENTATIONS. t Dover, Oregon, Oct. 12, 1910. To the Editor of the Oregon City Enterprise: If Mr. J. W. Exon's letter published In Inst week's Enterprise had not been so personal, there would have been no reply as he was so badly defeated. But such a misrepresen tation could not possibly be passed by without defense. The statements published Sept. 23 and signed by eleven others and myself, all of whom are personally acquainted with Mr. Exun, are undeniably true and he did not effectually do so in hi. letter to your paper but contented himself with slandering the signers as a re venge. If any of the twelve signers were aware or Mr. Exon's change of policy from the assembly to the Di rect Primary before the primaries, I was not among the number. I re ceived letters and pamphlets from nearly all of the candidates for the various offices, stating their policies, except Mr. Exou. I saw the article he menticna, from which I quote his own words, "that he would not go back on his assembly friends, also stating my belief In party organiza tion." But that only tends to prove that the article which we signed was true. His insinuations that the ar ticle was circulated by the "saloon element," borders onto blackmail. Then, again we quote Mr. Exon, as to the personality of those twelve men, who signed the article. He attacks me first, I presumed because ! was the first signer. His accusa tion that I am a transient is absolu tely false. I have been a resident of Dover only eleven months, but that has been sufficient to become acquainted even If Mr. Exon has been away most of the time. It is true that my work took me two miles outside the Dover precinct for a mat ter of a month or six weeks but he overlooks the fact that his work is many miles away and that only a small portion of his time Is spent In this vicinity. Moreover, I am not an enemy of anyone without a "valid reason." Next mentioned is Claire Ccrey whom Mr. Exon describes as a Democrat and a non-resident. If he is a non-resident why was he al lowed to vote at the Dover primar ies? And isn't an honest Democrat better than a deceptive Republican? Clark Corey and E. D. Hart, also de scribed as non-residents live in Cas cade precinct, which joins Dover on the north, and only a short distance from Dover. .Furthermore, the men who signed this article were not pur ported to be Dover residents, but merely men who knew Mr. Exon per sonally. Austiu C. Milliron was a resident of Dover for some time up to last spring and still owns property there, but at present resides in Cas cade precinct. He is an enemy of Mr. Exon's because he attempted and partially succeeded in breaking Mr. Exon's high-handed ring rule of the road district. R. W. Clark really "exists" and is acquainted quite suf ficiently whh Mr Exon, even though it Is not acknowledged. What if A. J. Morrison did register without party affiliation and W. P. Roberts as a Democrat? That does not In terfere with their knowledge of char- j acter. Geo. A. Wolf was not active in the county convention nnd Mr. Exon's other remarks concerning im are childish to an extreme. Mr. Exon states in his letter that he made a speech against an Anti Statement No. 1 resolution but he remarked to one of these twelve, that he did not believe in Statement No. -1. If H. A. Morrison is a boy why was he allowed to register If he was unable or unwilling to attend the pells, what business was It of Mr. Exon's? D. Bradley was a misprint. It should huve been Dr. Bodley, ami the worst feature or the case is that Mr. Exon could not help but know it. Mr. Exon's remarks about Geo. II. Sawtelle are personal and Insult ing and altogether unnecessary but I presume he could think of nothing else to say. In fact his remarks about all of us were. In modern speech, extremely "raw." As to his closing remarks there was no plea in our article that there could lie seventy live votes cast for one candidate In this precinct. A child can calculate from his own figures that 2" voters each voting for ;!, would mean "5 votes cast for representatives, out of which Mr. Exon received four, which fact he neither mentions nor denies in his letter. I have not written this entirely on my own account but have been re quested to do so by a number of those who wore so grossly insulted bv Mr. Exon's letter. FRED E. BLACK.

If we were assured of an open and Improved waterway the year around between this city and Portland. The present commerce as we find it consists of merchandise, building material, raw material, wool, dve- stuffs, pipe, woolen goods, machinery, lumber, shingles, leather, farm and orchard products, paper, pulp, logs. etc., as follows: Willamette Pulp & Paper Co. an nual, 281,900 tons.

The obstruction to the navigation of the river at the Clackamas Rap ids requires the shipment by rail at certain seasons of the year of nearly the entire tonnage above set out, and probably makes necessary the shipment of more than sixty per cent of the entire tonnage per year, (Continued on Page 8.)
