County Health Officer Van Brnklo
niiKlo a trip beyond Damascus Satur-
lay to Invest Ignte tlio caso of a dog,
which was suspected of having rubles.
ho dog was the property of J. w,
lennlnglon and was bitten by the
lanson dog which was reported Sep
tember 24. Ai tho owner did not wish
to take tho risk of keeping tho dog,
)r. Van Untitle ordered tho animal
int.
It is thought that the Inflection was
caused by a strange dog which ran
through that, section of tho country
ntt Juno. It bit sevoral nnliiuils be
fore It was shot ut llorlng. Since that
me, every five or Bix weeks, dogs
vo been found with suspicious symp-
onis but lmvo always been shot bo-
fore a diagnosis could bo made.
The chief danger Bocms to be to
the stock which Is readily bitten by
these animals, but the state hoard of
health Is now giving the Pasteur treat
ment to a woman In llorlng who wus
recently bitten by one of these an
imals," said Dr. Van llraklo Siitnrdny.
'Dogs that have bitten stock only
should be shot at once. If a person is
bitten, however, tho animal should he
kept chained up for at least, a week Ro
that a positive diagnosis can ho made,
ns the use of the Pasteur treatment. Is
needless unless tho dog is suffering
from the rabies."

Voter In the down town section
eincd to favor the plan, but those
who cant their ballot on the bill polled
a two to one vote again! the mcuRuro
and enilly overcome tho amall lead.
The vole given the measure was a sur
prle to many of Its supporters, who.
during the day, expected even a worse
lefeat. The fuel thnt the plan carried
In one ward was a atirpriae to many.
Th mea.ire waa framed by the city
authorities and met with official sanc
tion. Its object was to life the debt
of the city by increased taxation and
to provide other changes In municipal
government.
The meiiibera of tho council and oth
er of tho city authorities are now ad-
ocatlng the Htrlctcbt economy to keep
the city within the Income under the
10 mill levy. A week previous to the
lection two budgets were prepared.
one to be used if the amendment
panned, tho other, If It met with de
feat.
The second budget Is drastic In many
of lis men mi res. Under Its provisions,
the Seventh street elevator, now n ear
ing completion, would not bo operated
unles a ayatem of farea waa devised;
atreet and other Improvement work
would be stopped, the police force
would bo reduced; the office of the city
engineer cut down; street cleaning
practically stopped, and other steps
taken which would effect every de
partment.
One of tho city officials who was ac
tive in support of the defeated meas
ure was beard to remark Monday
night that now tho only policy left to
the city was one of curtailment In ev
ery department. "The voters have-
shown by a decided majority that they
did not approve of an increased tax
and that they want the city to be run
on a 10-mtll bnsis, ho snld. In the
face of such facts, the only thing I
can see left for the council Is to cut
expenses down to the lowest mark for
surely no taxpayer can approve of the
debt-bringing systems of the years
past."

POSTMASTERS NAMED
Following the recent civil aervlce ex
aminations, scverul four class postmas
ters have been appointed in Clacka
nius county. They are: Herman Lies
man, Willamette; D. Purcell, Sandy;
Walter T. Hrown. Wllsonville; William
A. Morand, Horing, and Ethel H.
Mather, Clackamas.
The Clackamas county delegation nt
tho stnto legislature will voto for any
mensuro which will Justly carry out
tho prohibition amendment passed at
the general state election last Tuesday.
This was evident when each of the
four, Senator WalUr A. Dlmlck nnd
Representatives C. Schuebel, C. W.
Rlsley and Guy T. Hunt, hnve promised
their support to such a bill. I he pro
hibition amendment merely states that
after January 1, 1916, "no Intoxicating
liquors shall bo manufactured or sold
within the state" and provides no pon-
nlty ."or violation. It was the inten
Hon of tho frnmers of the measure to
secure nn net from tho legislature
hich would fill out tho plan of mak
ing the state dry.
Since the election Representative
Hunt has been heard to remnrlc several
times that lie would support such a bill.
Ho declared thnt the voters of the
statu were decisive in their opinion of
the liquor traffic and that It was the
duty of the legislature to listen to their
lshes.
Senator Dlmick at his home Sunday
evening, stated that although he had
though of no details for a bill, ho would
support any measure which would car
ry out tho .prohibition scheme of
things. Representative Rlsley said
Sunday night that ho, too, would bo
with the Clackamas delegation in their
support of a bill to supplement the
amendment.
Representative Schuebel advocates
decisive steps. He said Sunday night:
"The people of the state have signi
fied their wishes for a dry state, and I
believe that the legislature Bhou'd do
its best to give them one. A bill to
carry out in effect the plan of the pro
hibition amendment should be framed
and violators of It should he severely
punished. Anyone convicted of run
ning a 'blind pig' should bo given a
severe sentence nnd 1 believe that
drug stores should have their Hcenss
revoked if they dispense It too freely.
Tho certificate of any doctor who will
prescribe liquor to persons not in need
of It should be revoked. I want tho
law inforced."
Cluckamas county Is spending more
than $12,000 In rebuilding the Mllwau
kle road between Milwaukle and the
Multnomah county lifie at Scllwood.
When completed It Will be a hard sur
face road, the grade being not more
than 2 percent. Arrhle Mason, a
Portland contractor, has the work well
advanced, although It will he some time
before the Job will be finished and the
road opened to the public.
An entirely new road Is being built,
starting from the sti bridge over
Johnson Creek and extending a dis
tance of one mile tcf Sollwood. The
heavy work consists of a deep cut
through a rocky bluff Just north of
Johnson Creek, where the rock, was
blusted for about 200 feet for the road
way. Then there Is) a fill north of
this rock cut an avenge depth of 12
feet wulcb reduce tuward the Milwau
kle cemetery, where 'u cut of five feet
Is made to lower the grade. The fill Is
for about 300 yards, tho material com
lug from the rock cut and the earth
cut In front of Milwaukle cemetery.
A roadway of crushed and screened
rock Is being placed on the fill and a
steam roller Is working It into a com
pact mass. Just north of the John
son Creek bridge a concrete retaining
wall on the crock has been built for a
distance of 200 feet to hold the road
way fill and prevent the water from
washing out the earth.
When finished the roadway will have
a hard surface to tho Multnomah coun
ty line. This mile of road always has
been one of the worst In Clackamas
county, but Is important, as It is used
by practically all of Clackamas county
in reaching Portland. It Is also a part
of the east side Pacific highway be
tween Portland and Oregon City. It
was expected that the Improvement
would cost about $10,000 at the start,
but the rock work proved more exten
sive than was figured on, and the cost
may run up to $15,000 before the Im
provement Is finished.
The county has Improved the road
south from Mllwnukie to Oregon City
at heavy cost last year, so that the east
side road to Oregon City will be a well
Improved highway when finished.
The Clackamas Improvement ends at
enst Seventeenth street in Sellwood,
which is unimproved and In a bad con
dition Efforts are now to be made to
have east Seventeenth street paved
through Sellwood in order to meet the
expensive improvement Clackamas
county Is making southward.
The official of both Clurknmtts and
Multnomah counties have united In the
search for an Italian, named either
Dominique Oramano or Itonan Padgin
who shot and critically wound
Mrs. Ollmpla I'olarmenl, an Italian
womnn living on the (Jrujs cronlng
road at Kendle, Juki aoutb of the Mult
nomuh-Clnckarnn county I'ne
The crime was commlttced about
noon Saturday while tt.t woman who
waa alone In her noma. . Neighbor
watched the man run along the road
Into Ardenwald and disappear toward
Milwaukle.
Deputy llert Staats was the first
Clackamas county official to leave on
the hunt and be waa followed by Sher
iff Mnaa and Deputy Miles about 1
o clock.
The woman was taken to the St.
Vincent's hospital in Portland early In
the afternoon where she Is now In a
critical condition. Her assailant shot
her In the back and cut her face with a
large knife.
Word was received here late In the
afternoon that Mrs. I'olarmenl was
dying and District Attorney Hedges
left for Gray Crossing to get a state
ment from the woman. Upon his ar
rival there he learned that she bad
been taken to the Portland hospital
and Attorney Hedges Instructed Port
land officials to get a statement. If pos
sible. It waa learned luter that a state
ment was secured.
Investigation at the scene of the
crime has brought out many details.
The man wno attacked Mrs. Polarmenl

quarrel on the county road near Cham-
poeg Friday, John Schultz hacked
George Hrown so severely with a
hatchet that Hrown Is more dead than

In an effort to find the man, special
detectives co-operated with the offi
cials and a close watch has been kept
in the former favorite haunts of the
man, whose name is believed to be
Dominec Padgin.
Sheriff Mass has spent considerable
time on the case aud is of the opln
ioii that if sufficient indignation Is
arouBed among Padgin's fellow coun
trymen in Portland, the man will bo
located. . The sheriff believes that be
cause of the feeling among the Ital
ians In Portland, Padgin may remain
hid securely until the hunt for him is
dropped.
car was so crowded by the good-na
tured delegation that even the lBles
were filled. The party arrived In Port
land before 8 o'clock and O. E. Ftey-
tag, who Is director of exhlbltB of the
b.g Portland fair as well as manager
or tne publicity department here, met
the car. It Is estimated that 75 from
this city were at the Portland show.
Lead by a brass band, the Clackamas
county delegation was guided to the
armory where the show was In prog
ress. The Portland armory covers an
entire block and extensions which take
up the 60-foot streets around the build
ing were built to accommodate the
crowds and the exhibits.
Oregon City and Clackamas county
play an important part in the success
or the show. The county booth, In
which the best of the exhibit at the
state fair is displayed, is one of the
sights on the main floor end draws
hundreds of visitors. In the county
Dootn are two live pigs, the only live
stocK in the show.
The local woolen mill has a complete
exhibit which Is considered the largest
in the building. Many specimens of
the products of the plant are shown.
The county delegation spent the
evening In thoroughly inspecting ev
ery department of the show. Per
sons from Oregon City wore badges
wnicn were distributed during the ride
to Portland. The return trip wa3 made
late in the evening and the car arrived
in this city at 11 o'clock.
VOTERS KILL FREAK
AT
641 MAJORITY FOR
NOOSE IN ALL STATE
PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 11. Returns
today from Malheur county made the
vote on the measure before the voters
Uist Tuesday providing for abolition of
capital punishment virtue Hy complete
and served to make sure the defeat of
the bill.
Malheur returned a net majority of
69 votes ngalnst the bill. The total
vote now stands 95.746 for t'ao measure
and 96.3S7 against it. The majority
against it how is 641 and it is believed
that fully 95 per cent of the vote in
the state ha3 been reported. Inas-
mrch as every county is Included in
the available returns, the present fig
ures reflect the sentiment of the vot
ers.
The three other measures passed
last week were; Prohibition, provis
ion for merging cities and requiring
voters to be citizens.
Summaries of Oregon election re
turns show that all of the 26 measures
and amendments on the ballot affect
ing industries, taxation and Invest
ments have been defeated.
The press of the state was almost
unanimously against these proposed
laws condemning many of them as
radical and freak propositions and the
result is defeat of a vicious system of
legislation.
For some of these measures, cam
paigns were made and a great deal of
money spent in advertising them, and
strong organizations were put back of
them, but the voters had made up their
minds to check the system.
Some of the measures were en
dorsed by the state grange, laBor or
ganizations and the so-called People's
Power league for direct legislation.
i that has been an effective combina
tion in the past.
A number of the proposed laws that
have all gone down in defeat were
backed by the organized women's club
of the state, but an educated public
sentiment on the part of the general
electi-oate doomed them oil to defeat.
The voters are aroused to the fact
that this system is a vicious abuse of
the initiative and referendum, and they
nave wisely saved direct legislation by
destroying tho abuse.
Many of the proponents of these de
feated laws and amendments will un
doubtedly come before the legislature
with propositions to put them over,
perhaps in changed form.
This has been done in the past.
When the voters have snowed under a
so-called progressive measure, it has
hobbed up before the general assembly
and been lobbied through.
The advocates of resurrecting any
of the defeated measures will be given
a cold shoulder for the first time by the
Oregon legislature, if all signs fail not.
The verdict of the voters is for a
letup in legislative activity that inter
feres with industries and business.
