At the election Monday, according
to the returns Tuesday, five districts
favored the consolidation, four voted
against it and one district, tied. The
issue to carry requires a majority
vote in the entire territory as a whole
and also a majority of the districts.
Because the project needs a ma

for Marks Prairie to favor the plan,

With the information that no formal
proposal to the public service com
mission relative to the modification of
the order for the improvement of the
SouthernPacific depot has been made
by the railway company, it is now re
garded as probable.that the entire ne
gotiations will be reopened as far as
Oregon City and the company are
concerned.
Threat on the part of H. C. Stev
ens, and other Oregon City property
owners to hold up the allowing of the
railroad company to extend its pres
ent depot on Railroad Avenue and
Sixth street, are expected to delay
the proposals for acceptance" of the
present plan. Legal advices, it is un
derstood, are to th"e effect that no ex
tension can be made on the streets ot
the city if the adjacent property own
ers protest.
The S. P., officials of that company
intimate, are ready to file a petition
with the commission for a modifica
tion of the original order, as soon as
Oregon City agrees upon the desireo
plam The company, in lieu of the
separate freight and passenger depots,
presented a plan for enlargement and
extension of the present depot and
construction of team tracks at Green
Point. This was tentatively approv
ed by a committee representing the lo
cal business men, but met a snag
when protests were filed with the
council against the allowance of a per
petual franchise for additional space
on railrod Avenue and Sixth streets.
The matter of the extension of the
franchise is pending before the coun
ty, but no formal presentation or the
case has been made there other than
by the committee from the Commer
cial club. It is expected that th
Southern Pacific in presenting- its
plan for the remodeling of the pres
ent depot will include changes suffi
cient to remove the objections of the
property owners to the building on
Railroad avenue.

Meeds Family on Motoring Trip
Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Meeds andchil
dren, of Gladstone, are enjoying ' a
two weeks' motoring trip to Spokane;
Wash., going by way of Walla Walla,
Wash., and expect to return by way
of Seattle. Spokane was their home
before taking up their residence in
Gladstone.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Brunner, Miss
Margaret Krumel and Miss Elva Er
ickson, forming a motoring party to
go to Southern Oregon, the destina
tion being Crater Lake, have return
ed after a most eventful and enjoyable
trip.
The party enjoyed camp life dur
ing the entire trip, which covered ov
er 1200 miles. Among the places of
interest visited before reaching Crat
er Lake were the Josephine caves
near Grants Pass, where camp was
pitched for several days. As the
caves are 1600 feet underground and
extend 300 feet back it requires about
an hour and forty minutesto make
the venturesome trip. The Oregon
City . motorists accompanied a party
composed of 20 people, headed by a
guiiTe, each visitor a torch bearer
while making the trip, for the under
ground rooms are dark and a torch is
required to see the way. In many
places ladders are stretched in order
to make the way over the raise in
the caves. One of the ladders extends
60 feet. The Oregon City party was
"game" and climbed all ladders and
"took in" everything that was to he
seen, thoroughly enjoying the trip. '
Crater Lake was the next place
visited, the party arriving on Satur
day and remaining until the follow
ing day, when the return trip1 was
started. This was over a different
route than when made, and in motor
ing over the McKinley Pass, one of
the most -dangerous roads, they pass
ed many tourists. Belknap Hot
Springs and Bend were other places
visited.
The party stopped at a number of
the automobile camps, hut none com
pared with the Oregon City camp, and
all were being well patronized by
people from various parts of the Unit
ed States, many of whom are now on
their way East.

BUILDING OF PAPER MILL
AT GARIBALDI IS DENIED
Denial of the reports that the Haw
ley Pulp and Paper company is plan-
ning the establishment of a mill at
Garibaldi, Oregon, was made yester
day by Willard P. Hawley, Jr., gener
al manager of the local mills.
Reports have been current during
the past few days that the Hawley
mills planned to build a large pulp
plant at Garibaldi, taking their supply
of material from the adjacent country
and shipping the pulp for manufcture
into paper at the local mills.
No such extensions are contemplat
ed, and there is no foundation for the
rumor, Hawley stated.

SALEM, Aug. 23. A brief prepared
by T. M. Kerrigan, public service com
missioner, attacking the right of the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph com
pany to intervene in the Duncan suit,
is missing from the offices of the com
mission. Commissioner Kerrigan be
lieves that the document, which rep
resents twd" months of pains taking
work on hispart, has been deliberately
taken from his desk by some one in
terested in its destruction.
The brief, according to Kerrigan,
was prepared in anticipation of the
company's attempt to intervene in the
suit which was done when the com
mission attempted to withdraw its
answer to the Duncan complaint in
the Multnomah county circuit court,
Tuesday. Kerrigan "is the author of
the resolution providing for the with
drawal of the commission's answer to
the Duncan suit, an action which
would open the way to an immediate
return to lower telephone rates in Or
egon. If the telephone company is
permitted to intervene in the suit, it
is pointed out here, it will mean a long
drawn out legal controversy which
will effectively thwart Kerigan's move i
for a return of the lower rates while
the telephone rate situation is being1
reinvestigated by the new commission.
Light Sentence Given
Mrs. Smith, the 20-year-old wife of
C. L. Smith drew a comparatively
light sentence at the hands of Judge
Noble on account of her approaching
maternity. Her one child, a" boy Xt
three, she left with neighbors while
she appeared in court and the caring
for the lad also devolves upon the
county court.
The two women were arrested Aug-
ust 12 when the sheriff raided!
Straight's ranch in company with his
deputies and state men. Straight
plead guilty to a second offense and!
was fined $500 and sentenced to a year
in jail. Mrs. Straight was charged' -with
selling liauor and Mrs. Smith was
arrested when she attempted to de
stroy several bottles of moonshine.
The order for the incarceration to
the women leads to complications as
far as the jail is concerned, as there
are no quarters separate from those
of the men.
Partitioning Necessary
The sheriff has taken charge of the
women and some temporary arrange
ment for partitioning off one of the
cells will be made. The construction
of the new steel for the rebuilding of
the jail is in progress and the com
plete renovation of the county'bastile
is expected in another month.
The trial of Matt Walkirch on a
second moonshining offense, has been
set in the justice court for Saturday
morning. Several months ago Wal
kirch was convicted after being taken!
into custody on his Dodge ranch. He
was sentenced to serve 90 days and;
pay $400 fine. He paid $50 and after;
serving the jail sentence was released!
On August 3 he was picked up again
on a similar charge, which Is to be
heard Saturday. In the mean time,
Jddge Noble ordered the man's con
finement for the remaining 166 days
Cf the first sentence; which he is now1
completing in the county jail.
