Oregon City ha gont dry and with i vole that has txcteded tht fondeit expectation of tht (tauncheit "pro hie." When th amoke of the battle had cleared away at twelve o'clock last night, tht total Oregon City re turns shows a healthy majority of 188 votes. Seldom hns a more exciting political race been held In Oregon City. The wets took thn lead from the Jump in practically all four of the city pre cincts and in Ward No. 1, this lead was maintained throughout Ihe count, the wet pollings a majority of 57 when the flnul count was reached In that precinct. Hut tn the other tbreo wards the "dry" hold the lead v. ben the final ballots were chocked up. HIM Vote Dry. The strongest of the dry, a wa predicted, was on the hill section In Ward No. 3. Here the women landed a most telling solur plexus in the cause of ternpernncp, and out of a total of 501 votes cast, but 159 were for the wet. Three hundred and thirty-four, and a lurge purt of them women, were aguliiHt the saloons. Indication at Ward No. 1 are that a largo number of the mill men voted wet, for tho lend of practically 60 was maintained throughout the oount. The drys, however, had coucedca this ward to go by about 75. expecting a reaction on Ihe hill section. Another one of the surprises of the election was the vote. In Ward No. 2. 502 vote were cast here, 211 wet and 27 S dry, loaving a clean majority of 67 for tho prohls. Pre-election dopsier had figured that tho down town ward would be stroug for the dry, and had based their hopea for victory on Ward 1 and 2. Out at Green Point the race was neck and neck and when Major Noble sounded the final call the drys were lending by the scrimpy majority of three votea 190 dry and 1K7 wet. The tabuluted result by wards, with the majorities In each follow: Result Ward No. 1 Voles cast For prohibition , H5 Against prohibition 202 Majority wet 67 Ward No. 2 Votea cast "0 For prohibition 278 AgaliiBt prohibition 211 Majority dry 67 Ward No. 3 Votes cost For prohibition 334 Against prohibition 159 Majority dry 175 VA'nrd No. 4 Vnle enst 380 For prohibition 190 Against prohibition 1S7 Majority dry 3 Not a Surprise. Tim reanlt on the lluuor Question In Oregon City wa not a surprise at all. The dry have maintained an excell ent campaign and the feeling ha been ..mvni.mt on the streets that Oregon City would go dry by a fair vote The saloons, however, will not close until January 1. 1914, the law providing almost two monthB for them to wind up their affairs. It is said that al ready there are application In to rent most of the saloon buildings, so it 1 n-iilent that the structures will not stnnd "yawning" for a very long per iod, aa predicted by the wet in their weak arguments lor me buiouu, Tun much credit cannot be given the committee of 100 well-known busi ness and church people wno engi tieerod the victory, and who have giv en their time for the last week to make a personal canvas on behalf of prohibition. Indication point to a great number of Willamette Valley towns going ary in lonigm a umbu. among which Salem stand out with a clean-cut majority. BARLOWADDSHVE FAMILIES TO CITY ' Five families, one of them with nine children, have come from Oklahoma to Harlow In the past few daya be cause of ardent letter written after the Harlow exhibit was shown at the Salem state fair. Letter from Mr. Melvin, of Barlow, told his former friends in Oklahoma of the climate of the country but not until he saw the exhibit of the com munity In which he had settled were they descriptive enough to induce those friend to leave their state and come to Oregon. As a result, five of his friends have hmueht their families ana have aet- tied in Barlow In th past few days, The new houses are in the course of construction in the city. The infor mation was contained In a letter to Secretary O. E. Freytag of the Oregon City Commercial club. TO BOOST ALL THE COUNTIES IN VALLEY Pluns for a permenant organization are begin rapidly, completed which will take charge of the big display to bn made at the Panama Pacific exhib ition In 1915. ' At a meeting hold in Albany the latter part of this week which wa attended by representa tives of all the eight counties, great enthusiasm was shown and arrange ment were made for a meeting to be held at Hulem on November 13. Tlie Clackamns county representa tive was O. E. Freythg, publicity man ager of the Oregon; City Commercial club, and he returmjd with a glowing account of the work jiluned by the new organization. "It is the only way which will work oi for the exhibit In 1915," said Mr. Freytug to a repre sentutive of tho Enterprise. "Instead of eight separato exhibits, there will bo one big showing. It I foolish to try to draw county lines In a matter like this exhibit. When we boost Clackamas county, we boost Marion or Ijine county and they benefit as much as we. But If we go together and get the pick of this great valley then we can make a showing that will be the center of attraction for the en tire exhlblton." p.nnv HRI HFfl MEMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL CLA88 KILLED ON HIS WAY HOME TRAIN SUDDENLY BACKS UP TRACK COUNTY JAIL AD HAP E OLD GRAND JURY WANTS IM PROVEMENTS MADE IN PRISON SHERIFF HAS MANY NEW IDEAS Believe That Statement Are True and Say Present Hold Can be Bettered at a Slight Expense JUl UllUUIsi.1 " BEIMIEEIS II.

It appears that the car stopped about 60 yards past the station and Shaver alighted from the car and had started toward the station when the car also started back and struck him. Three cars passed over the body and it was so crushed and mangled as to be almost beyond recognition Coronor Wilson went to the scene of the accident as soon as it was re ported to his office, and brought the body to this city, He was employed in the Southern Pacific car shops in Portland and was on bis way to bis home in Jennings Lodge when the accident occurred, Graduate High Schoul. Shelby Sbaver was a graduate of the Oregon City High school in the class of June, 1913. During his high school life be was considered as one of tbe most popular boys .In the school, having been a member of the school debating team and a manager of the baseball team. At the time of the accident, he was living with bis aunt, Mrs. William Jacobs, of Jennings Lodge. Ills mother died several years ago and his father, S, Shaver, is living in Port the water source for the city and that be is as much interested in having good water here as any other booster for the new line.

"Unsanitary and unsafe" is the characterization of the grand Jury of the county after an Inspection of the county Jail. The Jury went through the county prison and examined; the condtton of tbe place during its term. After it had een some of the dark- cells and the ventilation of the room, it recom mended that the county court make such changes in the place aa should be suggested by Sheriff E. T. Mass. The sheriff has for sometime argued that the county jail ls not in the condition that is best for the health of the prisoners who are await ing trial or are held pending an ex amination by the grand Jury. After considering the situation, the sheriff believes that he needs a new stell cell the entire length of the room on one side and built large enough to bold eight or 10 men. He also thinks that he needs a padded cell for the insane whom he sometimes ha to keep in the county Jail for a few days until they can be sent to the state asylum, as it is now, he has no such place and tho in sane have to be quartered in the same cells that the other prisoners are held.

He was mistaken for a deer while several hunters were out together and the shot killed him, ac cording to the report. No details have been received here as to the place of the accident and the message from Medford simply says that be was accidentally shot while hunting. He was bl years oi age and was well-known in the city and one of the most prominent busi ness men. He has his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Richard Durrell, of Oregon City, and Mrs. Guy Causey, of Seattle, and one Bon, Jacob, aged 15 years.

It appears that the car went past the station about 60 yards and that young Sbaver alighted and started to walk back on the track toward the de pot. Just before he reached safety the car. too. also started back and istruck the voung man. The entire train passed over the boy s body and it was so crushed and mangled as to be almost beyond recognition. Many witnesses were Introduced at ready has all of tbe money that it can need for the schools and that the ad ditional amount is not at all necessary. The meeting was held in the school building of the city and most of the taxpayers of tbe district were present. Out of all of that crowd, only 11 voted in favor of the increased levy. The question of dividing the district and assigning part of the territory now lying near Jennings Lodge to that district will be taken before the coun ty court shortly. The board was auth orized to place electric lights in the building at Gladstone. The river channel up the river from Portland, past Oregon City, and as far south as Salem has been in excellent - condition during the low water period this summer, according to a letter from the Oregon City Transportation company to Major J. F. McOndoe, corps of engineers. United States army. The letter ls partly as follows- As th extreme low water period oi 1913 has about ended, we wish to con gratulate your office for the manner in which navigation was made possi ble to Salem for the entire season. We also wish to say our boats have had less trouble than at any low water season for the past four years. When the gauge at Salem was below zero, our steamer Orgona was taking 35 tons over the shoalest bars, ana we feel that If the policy adopted this year is carried out in the future, our boats will be able to go through with 50 tons without lining.

With a cry, he grabbed her by the throat, it is said, and a struggle fol lowed. During the fight, both were hurled down the stairs and the wo man managed to get her arms free and to lift the receiver on the tele phone. As soon as he saw that she bad suc ceeded in getting through a call for help, the man's nerve failed him and he made his escape. All of tbe neigh bors were aroused and the call brought out Sheriff Mass and Deputy Sheriff Miles. In the meantime, the deputies at Mllwaukie were on the trail of the man. Mrs. Nicholson, a neighbor, had in the meantime gone to the house to offer what assistance she could. She took with her a bull dog. On ber return from the place the dog barked at a clump of bushes.
