To the contestants we wlHh to say
that an hour that can bo spared Bbould
not be wasted now.
(let every possible vote that you
can. See thnt all your rlends kno.v
you aro In the race.
Cull on them personally and don't
let them escape without promising
their votes and promising more sub
scriptions. 1 If you do they will surely give a
subscription to some other friend If
the other friend makes the first visit.
The early bird Is going to get the
votes In this contest, so don't delay in
getting your friends into the race with
you.
Enterprise Readers Are Its Friends.
Don't Imagine that because you find
a good many people taking The Enter
prise now that you are hundlcapped.
Remember that every other contes
tant finds the same condition.
That's no handicap to getting votes.
The vote value of renewals and ex
tensions are the samo as new sub
scriptions. So the fact that The Enterprise has
a big circulation Is really a help rather
than a handicap.
It means that you are working
among people who already take The
Enterprise anyway nnd will continue
to do so, contest or no contest.
It meant that you are among the
friends o The Enterprise, people who
know its value and don't want any
other paper.
All you have to do Is to Ret them
to give you their renewals or exten-

, Ask them If it Is not true that they
will be taking The Enterprise five and
ten years from now.
They will undoubtedly say that they
will. Many of them have been tak

Suggest Advance Subscriptions.
Then they might as well give you
an advar.ee subscription to begin when
the present subscription expires.
rndoiihtedly they will do so If you
suggest It to them.
It won't cost them a cent more.
They won't lose anything and the
votes will be a Wg help to you.
The money they will spend In future

vided for the county Judge on the

Ileal Ui said that the court bad not de
cided whether it would supervise the

BY MOLALLA MAN
DISCOVERER OF VEIN BRINGS
SAMPLES TO THIS CITY
FOR EXHIBITION.
MINERAL EXTENDS THROUGH HILL
Mysterious Man Leavea Lumps at
Office of Clyde McCrea Grade
la Same aa Coal Mined
In Washington.
A lodge of coul three feet thick, and
which is believed to extend through a
large hill has been found on a farm
near Molalla. The finder who lives
In Molalla, has brought several
samples of the coal to tne office of
Clyde McCrea In this city, but askB
that his name be wll held until he is
certain that ho will derive the bene
fit from his discovery. The first
samples were brought to Mr. McCrea
about six weeks ago, and he thought
no more of the matter, until the man
visited. him Thursday with larger and
better samples.
There Is littlo lustre to the coal, but
It Is considered as good, if not better,
than much of that mined in Washing
ton. It Is not near so good as the
Arizona coal.
Tho man told Mr. McCrea that he
had found the coal while digging in
the side of the hill. After his visit
with the first sampleg he was told to
return to the hill and find out the
thickness of the ledge and whether
It extended far into the hill. On his
second visit he reported that the ledge
was three feet thick, and he' was con
fident it extended through the hill.
The samples may bo seen at the office
of Mr. McCrea.
E FRONT
WILL NOT BE CHANGED
PROTESTS RESULT IN DECISION
TO BUILD EXTENSION
IN REAR.
The County Court has received so
many complaints against the proposed
remodeling and enlarging of the build
ing by moving the front twenty feet
nearer, the street that Judge Heatlo
said on Thursday the plan probably
would be abandoned.
'"While It was the Intention of keep
ing the front of the historic building
Just as It Is," said Judge Heatle, "the
plan has met with so much opposition
that the court feels the extension
should he made In the rear. Much
of the lawn In front naturally would
be covered by the extension, and It
has been pointed out that the ground
In the rear could be used for no other
purpose except for an extension. Our
architect will submit new plans."
It is necessary to enlarge the court
house in order to provide more room
for the various county departments. ,
The work will cost between $11,000
aud $13,000.

ENGINE-ROOM AND BOILER-HOUSE
AT BIG POWER PLANT
ARE DESTROYED.
BLAZE STARTS AFTER INSPECTION
Cable 160 Feet Above River Causes
Much Excitement When It Falls
Fire Delays Work On
Railway Plant.
Seven hundred menere thrown out
of work by the Are in the $1,500,000
power plant being erected at River
Mill, about a mile northeast of Esta
cttda. The boiler-house, engine-room
and tower were destroyed, causing a
loss of several thousand dollars.
The plant Is being Installed by the
Portland Railway, Lignt & Power
Company, and President Josselyn and
other officials of the company had left
the new dam an hour before the fire
occurred. The work is being done
under' contract by the Pacific Bridge
Company. Chief Engineer Fletcher
has charge of construction work.
A spark from the boiler flue is be
lieved to have caused the blaze, which
within five minutes after It started
had consumed. all of the construction
buildings on the west side of the riv
er. The aerial cables that stretched
across the river from towers on either
side fell into the stream.
Sawmill la Saved
By connecting a line of hose with
the river and attaching a suction pump
the Are was kept from spreading to
the sawmill, a short distance from the
boiler-hou.ic.
Thn Portland ltailwav. Llnht & Pow
er Company Intended to have the new
plant completed by October 1, but the
damage will delay the work at least
ten days, according to engineers em
ployed on the work.
The cable which fell down was one
of the Interesting sights of the sur
rounding country. It ran 1G0 feet
nbove the bed of the river, and was
operated by a hoisting engine in the
wooden tower. The extent of the dam
age done to the boiler and engine will
determine the delay which will follow
the accident. The cable travels a dis
tance of more than 1000 feet at a high
elevation. The work employs 700 men.
who have been engaged since Septem
ber 1, 1910.
Another Cable to Be Stretched.
Officials of the company are of the
ni.lnii.n that the delav will not be
long, as another cable will be stretched
soon, provided no serious damage has
beentlone to the engine. During the
progress of the fire there was consld
able excitement In River Mill camp,
and strenuous efforts were made to
save the cable from falling, but they
were of no avail.
F. D. Hunt, traffic manager, and O.
B. Coldwell, general superintendent of
the light and power department, left
the official inspection party, Including
president Josselyn, at Boring, and re
turned to make an inspection of the
damage.

DIMICK SUCCESTS ORGANIZATION
Hubbard, Aurora, Canby, Barlow
and New Era Urged to
Make Fight For
Thoroughfare.
Although Grant B. Dlmlck, a mem
ber of the commission, is making a
strong fight in the Interest of Oregon
City and Clackamas county, there Is
danger that the State Highway Com
mission will decide against the pro
posed Capital Highway between Port
land and Salem passing through this
city.
Judge Dlmlck, who met with the
other commissioners In Portland the
first part of the week, said Friday
that there was a disposition to adopr.
the proposed West Side route. This
means that the highway would be ten
miles west of this city, and would
cross the river near Newberg. The
residents of that section have made
a' strong fight for the road and bare
offered financial assistance.
Citizens Should Organize.
Judge Dimlck said that the only re
course of the residents of this city,
Hubbard, Aurora, Canby, Barlow and
New Era would be to organize and
make a determined fight for the high
way. Substantial subscriptions to be
used toward, building the road on the
East Side might cause the commission
to change Its plans.
Two routes through Oregon City
have been proposed. One Is through
Main street to the South End Road
and the other is along Seventh street
and out the Fifth street road. It is
urged that both be Included In the
boulevard.
It Is the intention of the commis
sion to make the boulevard the best
road In the state. Governor West has
promised the use of 150 convicts to
work on the thoroughfare.
Residents Urged to Subscribe.
The commission proposes to raise
the funds from the counties traversed
and private subscription. The resi
dents of the counties also will be
asked to subscribe, and others. It is
thought, will contribute toward the
enterprise.
The sentiment of Portland citizens
Is strongly in favor of the Portland
Salem road and promises of assistance
have been received from various
sources. Portland has promised to
give material aid to the project, pro
vided the citizens of Clackamas and
Marlon counties do their share by
contributing funds and labor.
APPLE CROP LITTLE ABOVE HALF
R. A. McCully, of Hood River, Calls at

grower of Hood River, called upon
Secretary Lazelle of the Commercral

T AS AUTO
PLUNGES OVER BANK
TREES KEEP CAR FROM FALLING
INTO CLACKAMAS NEAR
BAKER'S BRIDGE.
An nutomobile containing a party
from Portland, composed of two men
and two women while passing along
the Clackamas river this side of Ba
ker's bridg, plunged over a cliff. The
automobile was going at a fast rate,
and it was while passing the automo
mlle driven by Robert Baker, of this
city, that the accident happened, at
a sharp turn In the road. Mr. Baker
as well as 4he party from Portland
gave the signals, Mr. Baker slowing
his machine, but the man 1n charge
of the other car did not lessen his
speed, which caused the machine to
skid from the road to the canyon be
low. Had it not been for two large
trees which stopped the automobile,
the entire party from Portland would
have been carried Into Clackamas
river. None of the occupants was in
jured, tut all were severely shaken
up. The front wheel of the machine
was broken, and the party was
brought to this city In another auto
mobile. Mr. Bakr offered then the
use of his machine, but said he would
have to go up the river several miles
to bring a party of picnickers to this
city. The damaged machine was left
lodged In the trees.

BOULEVARD
MOUNT PLEASANT TO
ANOTHER ROOM WILL BE ADDED
TO THE BUILDING THIS
SUMMER.
The special meeting of the school
board and taxpayers of Mount Pleas
ant held at the Mount Pleasant school
house on Thursday evening was large
ly attended. The matter of enlarging
the school building; and adding anoth
er room was contested by some of
the residents of that place, but was
finally adopted. As there are more
than 115 pupils attending the school
and the pupils are crowded Into two
rooma it was thought advisable to add
the extra room. The two teachers
heretofore have had too much work.
The school board, with the aid of
prominent taxpayers of the district,
got permission to build the addition.
During the past year many persons
have moved Into the school district.
An eight mill tax levy was also
passed, five for malntainence, and
three for Improvements. T. J. Gary,
county school superintendent, was
present and addressed the assembly,
being In favor of this tax and of add
ing another room. Another teacher
will be elected by the school board in
a few days. Two have been chosen.

IN HILL CASE.
BLOODSTAINS ON BED GIVE CLEW
Sheriff Maas May Go To Rainier To
See If He Can Fasten Killing of
Hill Family on Man
Under Arrest.
Swan Peterson, a section hand, waa
arrested Friday night at Meeker Juno
tlon as a suspect in the killing of
Archie Coble and his wife in Rainier,
Wash., who were slain with an ax In
the same manner as the Hill family at
their home near Ardenwald Station.
Sheriff Mas said late last night that
he expected to be called to Rainier In
connection with the caae. Peterson
waa taken to Tacoma.. Footprint of
the-slayer are Identical, the width of
hit hand as shown In bloodstain la
the same and both crimes were com
mitted with striking similarity.
Dr. George A. Catney, of Portland,
who has been working on the Coble
tragedy, says that the motive for the
crime was the same as in the Hill
case. Peterson had worked a day
and a half on the Ranler section of
the Northern Pacific, disappearing
Just after the commission of the crime.
He did not draw his wages.
Bloodstaina Found.
Dr. Cathey examined the room In
which Peterson slept at the Waddell
Hotel in Rainier. The bedclothlng was
blood stained.
A man resembling Peterson arrived
at the McKenzie farm, ten miles from
Ranler, the day after the crime. His
first act was to get water to wash his
clothes. He said he had come from
Portland. He went to work at the
McKenzie place and was still at work
when a neighbor who had talked with
him sent word to Sheriff Gaston, sher
iff of Thurston county. He was told
by the sheriff to keep the man under
surveillance until he could be arrest
ed. It is considered more and more
probable at Rainier that theHill and
Coble murders were committed by the
same man.
Finger Prints the Same.
Soon after the Hill murder, Dr.
Cathey and his brother removed the
window sills and door casings from
the scene of the quadruple crime and
from them obtained blood Imprints by
the application of a liquid which has
the peculiar virtue of bringing out a
bluish-green tint wherever a blood
stain has been left.
On the sills and casings were found
several Imprints of the murderer's
hand. These are said to he Identical
with the hand imprints said to have
been left by Peterson In several places
about the hotel at Rainier where he
roomed.
The murderer at both places walked
tiptoed and in the Coble case a patch
on the sole of one sboe is shown.
COUNTY FAIR TO BE
BETTER THAN EVER
John Tauler, of Portland, called up
on secretary Lazelle of the Clakamas
County Fair Tuesday and made ar
rangements to have a series of amuse
ments at the fair, this year. Mr. Tay
lor was manager of several of the con
cessions and shows at the last fair.
"Prospects are better than they have
been before for a monster fair at Can
by this year," said secretary Lazelle,
Tuesday, "and already seven granges
and improvement clubs have signified
their intention of making displays. The
premium lists will be ready for dis
tribution In a few days and will show
fine cash prizes for 800 entries. Includ
ing HvestocV, poultry, fruit, vegetables
household and fancy work and chll
dreng work."
The premium lists will be sent to all
who address the secretary at Oregon
City or call at the Promotion Office
opposite the Court House or at the
office of O. D. Eby.
A cafeteria restaurant will be oper
ated on the grounds by the Ladies aid
society of the Methodist Church of

REDISTRICTING Of
CITY IS STARTED
BOUNDARIES OF FIRST, 8ECOND
AND WEST SIDE PRECINCTS
TO BE CHANGED.
The County Court at a meeting Tues
day took up the preliminary work of
redistrictins Oregon City and West
Oregon City. The law provides for the
changing of the boundary lines of all
precincts in which more than 300 bal
lots were cast at the last election. On
ly the first and second precincts in
this city will tie changed, there being
less than 300 voters In the thrid ward
at the last election. There were about
35' votes cast In West Oregon City,
and it Is probable that the town will he
divided into two precincts. Judge
Beatie said Tuesday night that the
work would be finished In a few days.
