PROPOSED SPLIT
IN DISTRICT 7
ARGUED MONDAY
A apoelal session) of tho county court
wi held Monday to bear petitions
on proposed changes in road dis
tricts, and the court room was pack
ed with Interested .property owners
rrom uie termortea affeuted. A
delegation from the Clarkes Booster
Club, headed by W. II. Wettlauffer,
made a strong plea against the peti
tion to spilt road district number 7,
which was sponsored by a deputa
tion from Beaver Creek. The matter
was taken under advisement by the
county court, and the decision win
be made known latter.
A. Thomas and Luke Duffey of
Beaver Crock were the principal
talkor favoring for the proposed
change, which would spilt district 7
Into two parts, with the division com
ing about four mlleg south of the
Beaver Creek store. The present
district, aa shown by the petitioners,
Is approximately 25 miles long, and
much controversy wat said to result
from the variance in the ideas of
road maker, in different parts of the
district. Judge Grant B. Dlmlck ap
peared for the petitioners, and stat
ej that the practical way to build
read was by special tax levies, and
that so long aa the Beaver Creek
people at thl end and the Clarkes
and Highland people at the other
end of the district were not In har
mony the general good of the whole
county road program would suffer.
The district comm'enceg at cIty limits
of Oregon City at present, and the
contention of the Beaver Creek spon
sors of the petition was that the
gn'atest wear and tear on their
roads was caused by the trucks from
Clarkes and Highland saw mills.
O. 1). Eby wa present as counsel
for these opposing the change, and
centered his argument on the con
templated road paving program, now
before the supreme court In the
shape of a bond Issue. Eby stated
that In event the road districts were
changed while the Issue it at doubt
that In event it passed that the dis
trict would not secure benefits, as
the program called explicit for the
districts an at present outlined. He
accused the Beaver Creek people of
failing to vote special taxes In the
past for nadl (Improvements, and
claimed that the Clarkes and High
land people were entitled to wear
out the roads, Inasmuch as they hnd
paid for their maintenance from the
general fnnde of the county.
Under the change as proposed the
Bcjivrr Creek end of the district
would consist of 10 miles of the main
highway, with a valuation of $M0.
000, and the Clarkeg and Highland
end would be given 5 miles, with a
valuation of $700,000.
Nat Scribner and Bartholomew
Sullivan were speakers In favor of
retaining the district intact, and
Ixith sides had longhty pe'Mnns to
give weight to their arguments.

LEAGUE DEBATED
IN CLUB BY EBY
AND W. M. STONE
Bursts of argumeutive oratory re
volved around Article X at the Com
mercial club Saturday night, when
the league of Nations was debated
by O. D. Eby and "William M. Stone
before a crowj that taxed the capa
city of the club auditorium. It was
not an especially enthusiastic audi
ence but it was a mighty Interested
one, with a goodly number of women.
It did not cheer vociferously, but It
listened Intently for more than two
hours while Mr. Eby talked for the
League and Mr. Stone argued In op
position to It.
Mr. Eby read extracts and editor
ials from Republican newspapers to
prove gome of his points. He relat
ed world-wide incidents that led up
to the making of the treaty of Ver
sailles, anf while he admitted that
Great Britain had six votes in th.i
Assembly, he insisted that action
coulj not be taken on matters of
vital Importance without unanimous
consent of the members.
"The Republican party stands for
America first.'' declared Mr. Stone.
"Woodrow Wilson says that Article
X ig the heart of the treaty, while
Charles E. Hughes insists it is the
vice of the covenant. Iu this coun
try of oura we have a system of
checks and balances, and we are not
in theory an autocratic government
We are not in favor of surrendering
our liberties to the nations of bank,
rupt Europe. The League Is a fail
ure. It could not stop the war of
Russia against Polanu, and did noth
Ing for that little country." The neg
atlve speaker defended the ' Lodge
reservations to Article X. "We h8
a right," he said, "to determine the
conditional and' terms under wjiiich
we shall enter the League. If we do
enter, and we shall be exploited H
we do enter. Europe needs us to
furnish the -soldiers to settle their
quarrels. The world cannot be made
over and selfishness will continue to
rule the passions and desires of
mea."
In closing his -?gument, Mr. Eby
charged the Republicans in the Sen
ate with stalling, and with trying to
pull the wool over the eyes of the
PBoplel "The election of Harming
will be a verdict against the League,"
he seJd. He ridiculed The Haguo
tribunal as a means to prevent war,
and sold the Republican party is op
posed to the League of Nations be
cause Mr. Wilson had a principal
part in drafting the covenant.
E. E. Brodie presided and intro
duced the debaters.

County.
The resolution In relation to a
county library follows:

Library in Clackamas County,
And in view of the fact that the
children of all schools in the county
come here and receive books from
