P. M. mil, Progressive nominee for
governor, occupied the pulpit-platform
of tho First Methodist church Sunduy
ight and outlined his policy In re
gard to the nomination In a thorough
and clean-cut way.
Mr. Gill held up his record In the leg
islature as an Indication of his actions
If hore were elected governor. He
spoke of Senator Walter Dlmlck and
Representative Schuebel, both of this
city, as able men and friends of the
peoplo.
In outlining his policy, Mr. Gill said
ho favored tho abolition of some of
tho commissions and the substitution
of department heads to do their work.
Another plank tn his platform is tho
development of the national resources
of the state and the encouragement of
Immigration. Ho would attempt, he
said, to secure lower taxes and to en
force all tho laws.
Mr. Gill was Introduced by Hey. T.

TO EASTERN OREGON
POHTLAND, Ore., Juno 27. C. D.
ogan, general manager of the East
Oregon Lumber company, arrived in
Portland today to arrange for tho pur
chase of tho grading machinery for the
construction of a now railroad In east
ern Oregon. The company will build
northwnrd from Enterprise to tap n
rich thuber country covered with yel
low pine. If contracts aro signed In
accordance with present plans, a big
mill will be erected at Enterprise, ond
tho logs will bo hauled down for man
ufacturo. "Wo will begin constructing tho rail
road at. once," said Mr. Logan this
morning. "Tho line will bo about 20
mllca long and of substantial con
struction, so that It will serve for gen
era traffic purposes when the timber
tins been cut and the nnd reduced to
agriculture."
The first step toward a Clackamas
county campaign for the "Oregon Dry"
movement waa made Friday when a
non partisan convention of drya waa
held In Oregon City for the purpose of
organizing a body to fight for the 1a-aue.
A committee of 12 men and women,
representing all parts of the county,
waa appointed and the bulk of the cam
paign will be In the hundi of thla body.
The local fight for a dry atate will be
carried on through this body alone.
The chairman of the committee ia
George C. Ilrownell and the other 11
members are: Iter. T. H. Ford,
Charlea G. Spence, J. C. Haines, C.
Schuebel. Rev. A. J. Ware, C. H. Dye,
Mrs. Eberly, Mrs. E It. Andrews. Mrs.
George Dcllok and Mrs. Robert Miller.
The convention, conalntlng of about
sixty delegates, met In the Woodmen
hall at 9:30 o'clock In the morning and
continued In session through the day,
The greater part of the morning was
spent In completing the organisation of
the convention and the afternoon was
devoted to attending the business of
the meeting. C. II. Dye was chairman
and Rev. A. C. Lewis of Oak Grove,
was secretary. A number of Im
promptu talks were made In the after
noon by C. A. Hutlon, C. Schuebel,
Rev. T. B. Ford, George C. Drownell,
Charles Spenco and Rev. A. J. are.
The most Important resolution which
was passed was one which promised
the co-operation of the convention
with any movement which would aid
In making the state or the nation
"dry." Another resolution wns passed
which declared the body for state and
national prohibition, in more direct
terms thnn the first.
The movement Is not a party move
ment, according to its leaders. Men
and women representing each of the
regular parties were at the convention
and no party issue was discussed or
was any particular candidate Indorsed.
The Portland and Oregon City Rail
road, known as the Carver line, has
brought an action against Emma Vic
torea Meyer to acquire title for a
right-of-way through her property lo
cated in the John D. Garrett donation

The complaint states that all efforts
to compromise the matter have proved
useless. The railway, tbe complaint
states, has offered the owner of lue
land $300 which Is refused.

If tho plans of County Judge An
derson and County Road Engineer
Hohson mature, the county gravel
plntits nt Now Era and at Barton will
begin work the first of this week. Tho
combined capacity of the two plants
wl'.l bo about 200 cubic feet a day or
enough crushed rock and gravel to lay
a quarter of a milo of road nine feet
in width.
Tho completion of tho two plants
has been delayed by the lato arrival of
machinery. The gas engine, which
operates the crusher and screens at
New Era, delayed several days so that
the machinery will not be in operation
until about a week later than original
ly planned.
The Now Era plant will take grave'
dregded from the river bed and after
It bus been crushed and screened It
will lie placed in bunkers which lie
beside tho Southern Pacific track. The
plant consists, in n general way, of two
bunkers nnd a tramway. Tho smaller
bunker is located at tho river bank
nnd will bo used in unloading barges.
The tramway leads from the lower
bunker to tho crushing plant) in the
larger hunker by tho railway.
At first tho Barton plant can he
reached only by wagons. Tho gravel
pit is located about a nillo from tho
Estacada line ot tho Portland Railway,
Light & Power company and a side
track leading to the plant Is at pres
ent In litigation and it will probably be
several weeks before tho case Is sot-tied.
With appcarantly absolutely no rea-
eon, Alfred Marquad, age 17 yea re,
went to a email bruab tract near the
home of hla father in the Clarke dis
trict snd shot himself through the
temple, between 6:30 and 8 o'clock
Thursday evening. The body waa
found a few minutes after 6 o'clock by
a party which went from the bouse fn
search of the lad.
Coroner Wilson waa notified and
with Attorney Caarlea Slevers left
Oregon City about 6:30 o'clock for
Clarke. An inquest waa held that
evening and the lury's verdict waa
"gun ahot wound In the head with In
tent to commit auiclde." The boy
uaed his fsther'a gun and shot him
self through the temple. Tbe bullet
entering the right side of bis fcad.
Altourh every Indication pointed to
aulcldo, the coroner's Jury waa unable
to find a motive of any kind. Tbe Ind
was popular with all the other boys of
the neighborhood and waa a student In
the Chirks school. His teacher often
made the remark that Alfred Msrqned
wss one of the brightest boys In the
school. Tbe boy'a father, G. Marquad,
aa well aa hla two sisters, Dora and
Elda, and his younger brother. Ruford,
testified that his life at home was al
ways happy and that he hsd hsd no
quarrels with any member of tbe fam
ily. There waa no love affair involved
or any trouble between the boy and
any of the neighbors, as nearly as
could be learned Thursday night
About 6 o'clock Alfred was sent to
the mall box, about half a mile from
he bouse, but failed to return. His
father and sisters started out in a
search about an hour later and found
the body under a large tree near the
road.
The boy's mother died when he wns
only a- few years old, and tho father
with the help of the older sister raised
Alfred and his 15-year-old brother. Ru
ford. The family moved to Clarks
about ten years ago.

The proposed street market, advocat

lar meeting Wednesday night with the
request that the city grant the board
tbe right to use some street for a city
markeL At the meeting ot the board
Monday night the committee was giv

the markeL The consent of the prop
erty owners along the street must be

market Itself.
1 The street market committee made
a lengthly report Monday night. A
visit had been made to thq Vancouver
market In the latter part of last week,
and the plan, as there carried out, was
thoroughly studied. Eleventh and
Main streets have been considered as
a possible site for tbe market but
many business men favor placing it in
tbe southern part of town. Tbe sug
gestion has been made that it be lo
cated on Fifth street. If the down
town market is a success a branch may
be located somewhere in the bill sec
tion. The hitching post committee was
given power to act The plans for the
hitching posts have been completed by
City Engineer Nobel and were turned
over to the board Monday. It is plan
ned to have tbe work done under the
supervision of the city council and
then to have the city submit a bill for
half of the work to the board as pre

In regard to the statement said to have
been made Sunday night concerning
the Chlneee exportation! of 30 years
sgo. The statement uses up an siaes
of the Issue and answers charges
which have been made by papere all
through the state. It follows:
CORVALIJS. Ore- June 15. To the
Editor of Tbe Journal Your report of
my recent address st Oregon City la
absolutely misleading. In apeaklng of
a greater Oregon I mentioned tbe fact
that Oregon's basic wealth waa agri
culture and that Clackama'e county'a
great wealth waa In agriculture. I
stated that tbe county bad 72S.00O
acres of possible agricultural land.
Alao atated. that In my opinion, a
blunder was made In not permitting
tbe Chinese to continue tbe grubbing
of this land, as It was entirely out of
the question at that time to have tbe
work done by white labor.
If tbe Chinese bad been permitted to
finish this work, Clackamas county to
day would have bad prosperous homes
for hundreds of families while it now
haa 500,000 acres of excellent farming
land in brush and scattering limner.
This great loss to our people waa
caused by agitators and demagogues.
Incidentally I mentioned that my
personal friend, 8ylvester Pennoyer.
was made governor on this Issue. I
referred briefly to the Incident from
the standpoint of economic agriculture,
as was simply reviewing historical
facts relating to agriculture and had
no intention of defending Chinese la
bor, to which I am strongly opposed.
Neither did I have In mind the diffi
culty at the woolen mills, for my sym
pathies were wholly with our own peo
ple in that contest.
1 am In favor of the Chinese exclu
sion law and In my remarks did not in
tend to besmirch the character of my
hlgbtly esteemed friend, the late Gov
ernor Pennoyer. It Is clearly a case
of misapprehension on the part of your
reporter of the real meaning of my re
marks. Very truly yours.

THIRTY THREE YEARS
OF SUCCESSFUL BANKING
IJThe first day of July, 1914, mark the cloae of the thirty-third year of
this bank's existence; it having begun business in 1881. It was founded
by citizens of Oregon City, with local capital, and has been managed by
practically the same officers since its beginning. JIt is with pardonable pride
that we mention here a few of the things attained by this bank: Besides
being the oldest and strongest bank in Clackamas County, it is one of
The Roll of Honor Banks of the United $tes, which means that its earned
surplus and undivided profits exceed its capital. Its deposits are nearly
One Million Dollars. It has a surplus that exceeds its capital by more
than 40 per cent, of its deposits while under the Stats Banking law it is
only required to carry 15 per cent. (JThe strict regard whiAtrie manage
ment of this bank has for those principles of sound banking, which have
characterized its history in the past, furnishes unquestioned assurance of
safety for depositors in the future. fWe fully appreciate that this splendid
record has been made possible only through the confidence and help of
our depositors and we take this means of assuring present and future cus
omers that the conservative policies that have proven so successful in the
past will be continued in the future.
