PEOPLE KICK AT
OBJECT TO CHANGE SOON TO BE
MADE IN ROUTE OF ORE
GON CITY CARS
SICN PROTFSTS TO THE COMPANY
Matter Will Be Called to Attention of
Officials and An Effort ,Mado
to Keep Present Line
As It Now Is
Oregon City people are going to pro
test moat vigorously against tje pro
potted new routing of the P. R, U A
P. Co., which that company now plans
on Installing In the not far distant fu
ture. Inatead of carrying patrons of
the Oregon City line down to AM;r,
Washington or Stark, aa always has
been the custom, the new plan is to
dump all patrons of the line off at
Yamhill and Third, and begin the loop
back to Or -non City at that point. The
proposed change tins just b?en made
public, and patrons all along the line
are signing remonstrances directed to
Will Daly, coninildHloner of public ui.II
Itles.at Portlund.
Under the njw system patrons
would have to walk the distance from
Yamhill to the their destination. As
the cars run now very few people
leave the train until Washington or
SBirk Is rached. and the protest Is
against this additional walk, which
will fall upon: all patrons of the line.
It Is generally felt the move Is a great
injustice to patrons who wish to leave
the curs at some point near the com
mercial center of V city.
A number of business men from
Portland and patrons of the line llv
ing at Jennings Lodge, Mi'.waukle and
Oak Grove were In Oregon City yes
terday afternoon discussing the pro-
nosed change with some of tho local
people. Cnless some action is taken
immediately by the patrons of the
line, the change will b? mado too late
for any complaint on the part of the
patrons who feel that they have some
rights to be regarded under the pro
posed chongii.

CANHY, Ore., Kept. 25. Two barbe
cues, an lphsnt and a baseball game,
along with other features, marked
"Oregon City Day" at the seventh an
nual Clackamas county fair Thursday,
and over . 3,009 pcraons turned out to
see the offerings of the occasion.
The barbecues were a success from
every viewpoint In fact the morning
one was so good that popular demand
made the afternoon one necessary.
Tbe elephant was a late arrival, and
belonged to a carnival company thai
got lost on the way here. When the
company, and the elephant arrived
there was panic among the race
horseae until the big pachyderm baJ
nassed. As for the baseball game, it
was between Hubard and Ml. Angel,
and waa won by tbe former to the
tune of 4 to 0-
Big Success.
All these things, and others, helped
make Oregon City Day a genuine sue
chhs, and practically everyone on hand
got his or her money's worth. Some
later exhibits arrived during the pre
vious night and were put in place to
add to the attractions. Among these
was the Display of fruits, vegetables
and grains put up by Secretary Ftey-
tag, of the Oregon City Commercial
club. This exhibit bore no name to
Identify it, and was only discovered
by Oregon City folk after a good daal
of sleuthing. But it made them feel
proud when they finally discovered
what It was. The social hygiene ex
hibit of the Oregon Social Hygiene
society was also put in place .and at
traded many visitors.
Livestock Show.
Judging of livestock and of part of
the Juvenile and general display be

Judges may ba gained from the state

was completed Thursday, and as the
prize winning animals were led about

Subscribers to railroad stock must,

- In a decision In the circuit court
Tuesday, Judge Eakin held that John
H. Vlck would have to pay the Clack
amas Southern railroad $473.36 as the
balance due on the $500 worth of
stock that be bought some Unit ago.
Since that time, the Portland, Eugene
& Eastern haa also passed c'ose to
the Vlck property and ha haa deter
mined not to pay for the stock that
he held In the other line.
Promptly, suit was brought by the
company for the remainder of the
amount and the cass carried into the
circuit court when Judge Eakin beard
the testimony and handed in his de
cisions in the case Tuesday morning.
He also gave the defendant the usual
30 days In which to fila a motion for
a new trial.
Tbe decision of tbe court Is con
sidered by raildoad officials general
ly os of great mortal value in th.a
work of collection on deferred pay
ments for stock. Tha court held that
, the Btock was taken by Vlck and that
he must pay for It.
Grant B. Dlmick, D. N. Hicks and
O. D. Eby were counsel for the road,
while C. D. Latourette represented the
defendant. The case was uard fought
through the court and every feature
of the law involved was tested in or

Mr. Ensminger was driving through
this city with his son on the way
from Portland to Canb and was go
ing along Seventh street when the
Utter went into Little's store to pur
chase supplies,'- leaving tbe father
alone In the buggy. While the boy
was out of 'sight, tha horse became
frightened ond dashed madly off up
Washington street.
Left alone In the buggy, the older
man made an effort to Jump, but his
feet became tangled and he plunge!
head long to the street. He received
a cut on the right side of his head
and the bones of the right shoulder
were broken.
Mr. Ensminger is about 65 years

Many applicants who failed to file

County Judge II. S. Anderson arched
his back and sidled Into his own cor

the state board of health, entered the
fiKht between Dr. J. A. Vanlirakle,
county health officer, and the local
medics and tried to get tba court to
remove thi present officer from his
position.
The interview with the county Judge
wasn't at all satisfactory. The court
informed the state board that he was
in charge of the county affairs in
Clackamas county and that be bad
made that appointment and that it
would stick just as he had made it.
He declined t be obliging and remove
the thorn in the side of the state
board. He told, the doctor that he bad

that the appointment had been ac

the county board of health met Satur

on its campaign for tne protection oi
