A Bliile wide campaign Is being map ped out by the combined commercial clubs of tho principal cities Io bring more munufucluri'S to tho coast. Tho movement was started by 'The Oregon Manufacturer," and bids fair to tie of thn utmost Importance to tho entlro state. A letter sent to all tho commercial clubs In he stule has re sulted In ,'iO pledging to assist In the campaign, Including tho Oregon Clly Commercial club.; M. D. IitoureUe says, In reply to a question asking Ihe stand the local commercial organization would tuke, "You can count on our co-operation." The thenry that the state needs manufactories and that Increased pop ulation will come a, u natural result Is the keynote of the new enterprise. The workers for this new plan say that with the great number of unem ployed and with the opportunities open In this state, there is a wonder ful field for progressive work. Heretofore tho Portlund booster or ganizations have been tbe only ones lo curry on an organized and consist ant effort for more and greater Indus tries in Oregon. It Is true that other "progress clubs" and the like, scatter ed through the state have made short and resultless spurts for factories, but these have always been local. DISEAS E IN CITY WATER TESTS MADE FROM LOCAL SUP PLY DISCLOSE PRESENCE OF COLON BACILLI RESULTS SUBMITTED TO OFFICIALS Results Submitted to Officials Repre scentative of 8tate Board of Health, Also 8tarts In vestigationReports The presence of colon bacilli haa been discovered In tluj filtered water of Oregon City, according to tests that have Just been made by W. H. Hedden, a chemist in the employ of tbe Willamette Pulp ft Paper Co. Mr. Hedden made analyses of four samples of water, two of which bad been filtered In the city plant. In the water taken last Frlduy Mr. Hedden found one colon bacilli per cubic cen timeter. In wnter taken from the Wil lamette river on the same day, that had out passed through the' filter, Mr. Hedden discovered 170 colon bacilli per cubic centimeter. l.ats Saturday two mora tests were made by the chemist, one from filter ed water showing four colon bacilli per cubic centimeter, and one from the river containing 200 of the disease germs. It appears from the tests made by Mr. Hedden that the city water should be boiled before being used for drinking purposes, for teeth washing or for washing vegetables for the table. The results of the examinations of Mr. Hedden were submitted Monday night to Mayor Jones and Councilman Long, and the latter gave out the in formation for publication. The presence of disease germs in Oregon City's water may be looked for at this period of the year. Dr. H. D. Arms, of the state board of health, was in Oregon City Monday and obtnlned several samples of city water for bacterlloglcal tests, the re sults of which will be announced in a few days. Dr. Arms was here last summer and made an exhaustive In vestigation of water used in Oregon City, both from the various wells from which residents obtain drinking wa ter, and from the hydrants connected with the city's supply. The work of Dr. Arms will be continued this week, as the up river freshets may dis close alarming conditions. SITE OF NEW CITY POSTOFFICE Instead of being next to the Weln hard building on Main street, the new postofflce will be on the corner of Main street and the alley between Eighth and Ninth streets. The house now occupied by Sheriff Ernest Mass will be torn down and the publicity building of the commercial club will be moved back to its former location. This change was made so that the new building can face on an alley.. It will be necessary to open up this al ley through the block. The house occupied by the sheriff will be torn down, the work starting either the latter part of this week or the first of next. Hy the time that this house is out of the way. the pub licity building will probably have beeu moved. UNIVERSITY IS GRATEFUL Eugene, Ore., Nov. 5, 1913. Edw. E. Brodie, Oregon City. Ore. The Enterprise did yeoman service throughout the campaign. Its loyalty to the cause of higher education and the vigor and abll lliiy of its presentation -of the case are deeply appreciated. The university will do Its utmost to return to the people many times over the value with which it has been entrusted. P.

Van llrakle, county health officer, will file his answer alleging that he Is a grad uate of "a reputable medical college" and that he Is qualified to perform all of the duties that devolve. upon an of ficer of the county. The answer haa been prepared and will be filed as soon as action Is taken In a motion to striku out part of the compluint. The doctor objects to that paragraph and section of tbe com plaint which saya that he is not quali fied for "other reasons" than those al ready mentioned. Tbe answer goes into details as to the training that he has had, mentions all of tbe work that be did during the three years that be was in the Ameri can School of Osteopathy at Kirks ville. Mo., and recites that this train ing has prepared him for the place that be now holds.

HOME FOR WOMEN Believing that some means should be provided so that a pleasant home can be offered young, unmarried wo men employed In the various manufac turing establishments of Oregon City, the Live- Wires of the Commercial club are endeavoring io obtain funds and other aid for the opening of a lodging and boarding house for these employeea. A commtltee has been appointed to have charge of the scheme, and members of this board are now engaged in investigating sim ilar institutions in other cities. The aim of the plan is to have the home self-supporting, yet at the same time to make it possible to furnish lodgings and board to tbe women at a sum approximating $3.60 a week. The success of the Portland Women's union, in the metropolis, is encourag ing the committee to believe that a similar Bcheme can be worked out here; and lt la felt that if this can be done, much good will be accomplished for the community. Suggestion was at first made that a local Young Women's Christian as sociation be formed with a working girls' home in conjunction, but inves tigation showed that there were many employees in the manufacturing estab lishments who would not enter what they believed to be a sectarian insti lnilnn Thn idea of a Y. W. C. A. was then dropped, and the committee went ahead on the broader plan n RUSH WORK ON SITE FOR NEW CAR SHOPS Several days in advance of tbe time estimated for the completing of the work, the brush one tbe site of the new P E. ft E. car ahop has been cut and the work of grubbing -will be started at once. Tbe tract contains 10 acres and will be used as the site of the new car (.hops. It la located several hundred yards down the river from the west approach of the suspension bridge on the country road. A track will be soon built into the land and lt is said that as soon as pos sible actual work will be started on the plant ELECTRIC LINE HAS FILED ITS MORTGAGE The Molalla Electric company has filed with County Recorder Dedman a mortgage for $50,000 to cover the cost of some improvement work that it has in mind and for the building and main tenance ot the line. The mortgage is protected by the property of the company and is filed with the recorder to gain ready money for the construction and improvement work of the road. It Is made out in favor of the Portland Trust company in return for the cash which the cou cern finds that it needs for the line. y y ry7 Newly electedCounty Superintendent of Schools mm gets COUNTY PLACE COURT 8ELECTS HIM AFTER CON SIDERING SEVERAL OTHER NAMES HAS HAD MANY YEARS IN SCHOOLS Was Connected With Wichita at the Time of His Appointment But Had Been in Others of the Districts J. E. Calavan, now a teacher in the Wichita schools, has been appointed county superintendent to take the place of T. J. Gary, rselgned. After considering the names of sev eral men who were urgently suggest ed, the county court settled upon Mr. Calavan for the place and he will take charge of tbe affairs of the rural schools on November 17. For several years he has been close ly identified with the affairs ot the educational institutions of the county He has been a teacher and a county supervisor and has seen the work of the rural schools from all angles. He was earnestly supported by many who believe that bis experience and training Is such as to peculiarly qual ify him for the place and the court made its selection after going Into the work that he has done while In charge of the various county schools to which he has been assigned. For some time, he was connected with the schools of the Oregon City district but has of late been, in the school at Wichita. For two years he was county supervisor and assisted the county superintendent in over looking the general management of the rural districts. In that time, he has become thoroughly acquainted with the work that has been done and knows the needs ot the various dis tricts. T. J. Gary, who has resigned, goes to the Portland Schools of Trades as Instructor in English at a much better salary and takes a position that gives him a better opportunity for promo tion and a chance to rise in the pro fession with which he has been as sociated for so many years. The resignation takes effect November 17. COURT INSTRUCTS JURY TO RE TURN VERDICT IN HIS FAVOR OTHER LIQUOR CASES ARE TRIED Evidence Introduced Tells of Fun on Day of German Picnic and Source of Beer Brought To Grounds J. W. Smith, county commissioner, was acquitted in the circuit court of the county Monday. He was Indicted with several others on a charge of selling or giving away liquor on his place during a German picnic several weeks ago. J. U. Campbell Instructed the Jury in the case to bring in a verdict of not guilty after the evidence was produced. It was shown that the commissioner had permitted the organization to use his place for the picnic and that he know nothing of the events that happened cr are said to have happened after wards. At the same time, the grand jury returned indictments against Charles Harnack, John Bush Cue Rodenberg, William Heinz, Jacob Rueck, Charles Gilbreck. Carl Bergren. Of these, Heinx, Rueck and Bush were fined $50 and costs. MILWAUKIE IS "WET Additional returns from the last election received at the county clerk's office Thursday show that Milwau kie voted "wet" 231 ballots being cast for license to 181 against. In Macksburg, in addition to the ref erendum election, there was ballot ting as to whether or not stock should be permitted to run at large. The vote was against this, 83 ballots be ing cast for "no." while 17 voted for continuance of the practica COMMISSIONER -IS ACQUITTED WASHINGTON HATCHERY WILL HELP REPLENISH COUNTY STREAMS WITH GAME WARDENS TO WORK IN SECRECY Salmon, 8almon Trout and Brook Trout to Be Among Those Added to Present Sup ply Shipments Five million salmon, salmon trout and brook trout eggs will be shipped Into Clackamas ccunty this month from the United States flh hatchery at White Salmon, Washington, and will be distributed in the various streams flowing down from the crest of Mt Hood. Cases in which these eggs are to be shipped have been sent to the Washington hatchery, the last consignment being put on the Port land train at Clackamas Station Sat urday evening. Large Consignment Tbe consignment of eggs coming to this county Is but a small portion of the total amount that will be shipped Into this state, it having been deter mined to thoroughly stock Oregon streams, so that both sportsmen and commercial fishermen may In the fu ture find no shortage of fish. The hatchery maintained by the state it self at Bonneville has been unable to furnish all the eggs and fry needed, and so appeal has been made to the neighboring commonwealtn for a greater supply. The five .million eggs coming to Clackamas county will be planted mainly along the upper reaches of the Sandy, Clackamas and Molalla rivers, and some of their tributary creeks. Deputy fish wardens will have charge of this work, and no undue publicity will be given'it. The fish wardens de sire to keep sportsmen and others in Ignorance of the water courses that will be most heavily stocked, so that the young fish will have a chance to develop. Fifty Percent Loss. Of the five million aggs that will be planted, it Is expected that not more than half the number will develop in to mature fish. There will be prop ably about ten percent of the eggs that will not withstand the shaking up of shipment, and it is estimated that probably 30 percent more will be discovered and eaten by trout and other fish at present in the streams, and probably ten percent of the fish that dosuccessfully hatch out will be devoured, either by larger fish or by "Bportsmen" who make it a practice of catching "pan-fries." Fish wardens believe that an in crease of two and a half million in the piscatorial population of tbe county will materially improve the stock in local streams, and will restore Clack amas county to its former rank as a sportsmen's paradise and as a division of the state in which commercial fish ing is one of the big-paying occupa tions. The commercial salmon sea son the present year was practically a failure, from the professional fisher man's viewpoint, .the catch being un usually light BROWN IS FREED BY TRIAL JURY DELIBERATION OF TWO HOURS HOURS BRINGS IN A FAVORABLE VERDICT CRIMINAL LIBEL WAS THE CHARGE Case is Echo of Recall Campaign When Courier Editor Fought Member of the Former County Court M. J. Brown, editor of the Courier, was acquitted by a jury in the circuit court after but two hours of deliver ation. The case went to the jury Wednes day morning after the counsel had finished argument postponed from the evening before. The action was brought as a result of the indictment returned by the recent grand Jury fol lowing statements made by the editor on the work of the former county court. The defense claimed the edi tor bad based his comments upon a typographical error in hie own paper and that he had not checked over those statements from the official rec ords. Tbe statements formed the basis of an indictment for criminal libel against the court The defense al legod that the editor had based his statements upon the report of the court proceedings and that a portion of that report had been in error due to a typographical mistake. As 34 das's hnd elapsed since the publica tion of the first report and no objec tion had been made, the defendant edi tor believed that no mistake had been made and that the statements were as he bad printed them, he said in de fense. The jury in the case was M. M. Crissell, John Bureoyne, Fred Mt thies. Gilbert Jonsrud, H. M. Robblna, Fred Lins, N. A. Rodiin, E. F. Vettu H. T. Melrtn. W. A, Proctor, E.
