Tuesday evening the meeting wus belli at Clarkca. "Vote 'er Straight" Sentiment. There seems to be a wlde-aprrsd vote Vr straight" sentiment found In oil wctlons of tho county this year, hay the Reptibllrmi SH-ukers. There are two reasons for this. Klrst, the strength of the Republican ticket with reapect to the personal qualifications of each candidate; and second, the present unreal under tho Democratic aduilnlrtrutlon. DiMplto the prevailing optimism In tho Democratic rump aa to the ulti mate str.'cess of their regime, the fact remains that times are exceedingly hard in all lines, and right here in Clackamas county, where laborers hove been laid off by tbo score in tho mills, and where in many lines of in dustry a five-day schedule has been In augurated, It Is especially noticeable. While It may be amiss to state that the Wilson regime Is wholly re sponsible for these conditions, it is a fact that there Is a general yearning to bring back the old-tlme-trled ship of the G. O. 1'. This Is the general trend of tbo times all over the couutry ond tight here In the center of a manu facturing community, and the country tributary thereto, the fueling la eapo clally pronounced. It has taken the shape of a genuine "vote 'er straight" movement, and that slogan promises to become almost as popular In Clacka mas county this fall as tho celebrated "Let 'er Duck." Wbllo party lines sometimes are obliterated In county elections, nevertheless there Is a wide spread sentiment to obliterate the Democratic regime from the top to bot tom, and clean the slate once and for all, for that good old prosperity of former days. Tho county central committee ap preciates the confidence that Is being reposed in the Republican ticket and to Justify this confidence, and to keep up the high standard of efficiency in tho ticket, have, withdrawn their sup port from tho cumltduoy of C. M. Hurl burt, Joint representative of Clacka maB and Multnomah counties. On In vestigation of charges Uiat trose fol lowing his nomination, It was shown upon his own statement recently that he was unworthy of the support of the Republican party and for this reason the county central committee has mndo a speclul effort to Inform the voters that It Is not supporting Mr. Hurlburt. This move by the central commit too clearly indicates Its good faith In asking for a general support of the Republican ticket this fall, and Clack amas county voters mny rest assured that no nmn will receive the endorse ment of the Republican central com mittee unless ho Is admirably quali fied to hold tho position. The central committee has asked for Mr. Hurl btirt's withdrawal, nnd when this Is forthcoming, the voters may "vote 'or straight" without compunction. WITH HORSE SETSRECORD AT THE STATE FAIR HAI.EM.

HOOD BILL TO PERMIT MULTNOMAH TO CONSTRUCT HIGHWAY IN CLACKAMAS URGED The Portland Ad club Is fostering a plan to build a road from Portland to Mt. Hood through Multnomah and Clackamas counties at the expense of the former county and propose that the state legislature be asked to pass a bill giving Multnomah county the right to construct the line In this coun ty. I'ndersuch a law Multnomah coun ty would construct all the line. The proposal bai been turned over to tho committee on resolutions of tho Ad club and was submitted to the club by S. S. Hewitt, who Is chairman of the club's good ro'wls committee. "The Mount Hood country has well been called an Inspiration," said Hew itt. "The key to the door of any coun try Is a road and for aeven years one man has struggled, almost single, hand ed, to forge the road key that will open tills rich scenic district "ThU man has spent thousand of dollars In grading, bridge building and nas been ui.llnng and absolutely un selfish In his effort. It Is almost un necessary to state that I refer to E. Henry Wemme." The resolution presented by Mr. Hewitt pledged the club to support a road 24 feet In width, with no grade to exceed 6 per cent, and authorized the appointment of a legal committee to draft a law giving Multnomah coun ty the right, under state supervision, to build those portions of the Mount Hood road which would be within Clackamas county. Two concluding paragraphs of the resolution were: "He It further resolved, that all citi zens, clubs, organizations and publica tions be asked to lend their active sup port and cooperation In the further ance of this plan, and "That should It be necessary to raise a fund for the Initial prosecution of the plun, the Portland Ad club as in dividuals will contribute to the fund and thus, by their action, cause other public spirited citizens to lend tbelr fi nancial aid." ASSOCIATION TO MEET The Clackamas County Cow Testing association, which was formed here the first of September for the purpose of aiding the dairying industry In the county, will hold a meeting Saturday afternoon In the Commercial club par lors at 1 o'clock. All the dairymen In tho county nre Invited to come and co operate. Henry Thlessen will be chairman of the meeting. A recently patented anvil for crack ing nuts Is mounted on a dish to catch the nut meats. THE WORST IS YET TO COME. TRUTH IGNORED IN 'WET' PLACARD ATTEMPT IS MADE TO CONNECT TOWN'S CONDITION WITH DRY REGIME CM milOH IS RESULT O. Staat Say at Least 85 Per Cent' of Debt Accumulated During Time City Had From 10 to 14 Saloon PORTLAND. Sept. 30. (Special) Considerable Indignation , preaaed In Portland toder when on hHllioarda all over the city mammoth sign were posted with what amounted to the statement that Oregon City Is bankrupt, followed by the assertion: "Oregon City baa been dry only eight months." The placarda read: "City receiver 1 faced." "Oregon City debt speeds ahaad of tax', soy officials." "Hunk refuse to cash warrant. J. K. Wbeeler. cbulrmun of the com mlttee of one hundred, the Oregon dry business men' organization, of which C. E. BjM-nce. muster of the state itrunite. I the Oregon City member, expressed himself strongly on the sub ject. Sign counter AttacK. The committee of one tucdrcd," he said, "ha published ad over Ore gon the fact that In Oregon City busi ness Is at Its best and that traoe la tar better a the result of the dry re gime. "I suppose thl ha angered the wet and they wiah to attack Oregon City In retaliation. Members of thlo com mittee are most Indignant 'hat the brewers should vilify an Oregon town to bolster up a bad case." Driven to an extreme for argument for their cause, the campaigns against the Oregon dry amendment are now citing the financial condition of Oregon City as result of the dry regime. Truth is cast aside, even fairness and honesty are forgotten, when the wets attempt to blame the condition of this town finances on the racl mat ii nas been with saloon revene for less than a year Town Wet When Debt Accumulated. The financial condition of Oregon City Is not traceable to the lack of saloons. J. O. Staats said Wednesday evening: "I have been making a conv plete audit of the city's books and In a few days I will be able to give out a complete financial statement. I find that at least 85 per cent of the debt of this city accumulated previous to the beginning of 1914. Before the town went dry, I find that Its annual deficit was at least 110,000 a year greater than under tbe present dry regime." Mr. Stoats is a man who Is careiui In making Dubllc statements and would make such an announcement only aft er a long Btudy of tbe subject at band. He has been spending much time dur ing tbe last few weeks with the city's books In preparing his figures ana at the present time is probably able to come as near the truth as any other person. F. J. Meyer of Same Opinion. Hut. Mr. Staats Is not alone In mak ing the statement that the bulk of Ore gon City's debt accumulated during the time the town was wet. . J. Meyer, chairman of the council com mittee on finances, said Wednesday evening: "Oregon City's financial con dition is not traceable to the expendi tures of the last eight or nine months. This debt has been accumulated dur ing the years when the town was wet." During the summer the banks here have refused to cash warrants for those who were not customers of the bank. This fact Is made a point In the placards in Portland, but there is no mention of the fact that several years ago the banks took the same step.

STORY OF DEEDS MOTHER OF 19 YEARS FOR FIRST TIME SHOWS SIGNS OF EMOTION MONDAY CONDITION IS CONSIDERED THESAHE Girl Say She Shot Infant While In a Daze and I Not Able to De scribe Details of the Tragedy Two week have now passed since Mrs. Florence Bohn, tbe child-mother of 19 years, shot ber two Infant chil dren and then turned the gun on her self, but it was not until Monday that he broke down and showed any sign of emotion. Dr. Gleiy, of Aurcra, who ha been attending the woman since the day of the tragedy, made his dally visit to the Sohn borne Monday morning. For several days he had attempted to learn the girl' account of tbe morning when ho shot her children, but each ques tion was evaded or left unanatwered by her. Monday, when the two were alone. he asked ber If she had any thought 1 0f the crime when her husband left their home the morning of the tragedy. She replied that sbe bad nome. The physician describes tbe conversation as follows: Physician Describe Conversation. "Sohn left bis wife for the hop field at about 7 o'clock the morning of tbe shooting. I asked her If she had any previous thought of committing the deed and she told me that the plan struck her In an Instant and that sbe carried it out while In a daze. She cannot remember distinctly Just what she did. I did not ask her the details for she said that her mind was not clear on many points. "When I first saw and heard the de tails of her acts, I formed the opinion that she was temporally .demented when she used the gun and my con versation with her Monday morning brings out that belief. At tbe pres ent time I believe that she is normal but with the Blngle exceplon of the time I talked with her Monday has been able to hold back her emotion. Mrs. Sohn An Orphan. "Mrs. Sohn has been an orphan since she was five years old. I believe she has seen a hard life. At ber home at Boone's Ferry she saw but few of the neighbors, for the Sohn home is not near any other bouse. All who knew her liked her, however, as nearly as I could learn." Dr. Glesy believes that brooding over the suffering of ber own past, caused tbe young mother to become despond ent. The constant assocltion with her own children brought to her mind the future which awaited them and she sought to lessen their pain and misery, which to her mind seemed certain, by the only way possible in her distort ed brain which was death. This Is the theory of Dr. Glesy and It Is backed with the statement which she made that she killed them because she loved them; because she could not bear to see them grow up In a cruel world. Mrs. Sohn is BtlU "holding her own. The changes in ber condition are dally, one day for the better and the next for the worse. Physicians still hold out only small hope for her recovery. EOF IS DR, VAN BRAKLE TO SEND DOG'S HEAD TO PORTLAND FOR EXAMINATION The first case which appears to be rabies In Clackamas county this year was reported to County Health Officer Van Brakle Thursday afternoon in the Damascus district The head of the dog, a six-month-old pup, was brought to Oregon City Thursday evening and will be sent to the state board of health In Portland to definitely deter mine whether or not the dog bad rabies. The dog was owned by Charles Han son, a farmer, who noticed early in the week that the animal was not acting naturally. Tuesday he bit two other dogs and a horse and Wednesday the owner sent for a neighbor, J. Hennlng ton. to shoot the dog. Hennlngton went to the Hanson farm Wednesday to kill the animal but the dog bit him in tbe heal before It was killed. Hennlngton has received careful medical treatment. Tbe dog bit through Hennlngton's shoe and the break In the skin Is small. MRS.

'The whole state fair this year la a marvel to the man who wants to learn what can be accomplished In tbe state," declares Superintendent Freytag of Oregon City, superintendent of the horticultur al and agricultural section today. The counties will compete by sec tions for prizes, with the exception of Marion. Because this county would have an apparent advantage over other counties in handling its products and keeping tbem fresh during the fair. It will not compete. Eastern Oregon Feature. The Invasion of eastern Oregon Is a new feature of the fair, and the dis play of products Is wonderful. Mor row county sent an exhibit so large that the booth will not hold nearly all it. AH are non-Irrigated products, and they were not hand pscited, being gath ered at random from the fertile fields. There Is a great variety of grapes. which many believed before could not be grown outside of a much more trop ical climate. The display includes Malaga, Black Hamburg and other va rieties. Broom corn 16 feet high and many varieties of vegetables are shown. Malheur is strong on corn and alfalfa, and sent some fine fruit and honey for the fair. Wallowa has a splendid exhibit of agricultural prod ucts, as has also Baker, which is strong on potatoes. Wasco has a very fine agricultural exhibit. Tillamook and Lincoln coun ties have complete exhibits, featuring especially forage crops and dairying. That fruit can be grown In that coun ty Is demonstrated, and there is an ex hibition' of fish, which Includes a 48 pound salmon. Lincoln county fea- ' tures its dairy and agricultural prod ucts. Valley Exhibit Complete. Valley counties have very complete exhibits. Benton county his its usual excellent display, and is strong on for age crops, and has much to interest the stock grower and dairyman. Polk county has a great exhibit. Washing ton has everything that the county can produce. The county is especially strong on appIeB and grapes. Yamhill Is especially boosting the clover seed Industry of that county, and is also strong on corn. Corn and clover means hogs and dairying, and Yamhill makes good In raising good cows and porkers. Clackamas is strong on forage crops and grain, and has a big exhibit of fruit and vegetables. Multnomah coun ty is well represented with an exhibit of fruit and vegetables. Marlon coun ty has a beautiful exhibit, especially of fruits. Most of this exhibit will go J to the Panama Pacific exposition in san UTancisco.
