HUNTERS RETURN
. CANBY, Or., Sept. 5 In an automo
bile accident that occurred" near Bar
low on Saturday evening about
o'clock, two women, a child were bad
ly cut by flying glass, caused .froni
broken wind shields, one of the vro-
men also suffering from a nervous at
tack, also resulted in two badly dam
aged automobiles. The accident oc
curred on a hill above Barlow and
was witnessed by a 'number of peo
ple, among these being Dr. and Mrs.
George Hoeye, of Oregon City.
One of the cars, a Ford, was travel
ing towards Portland, and the other
igoinsr south earryine tourists. The
driver of the Ford, in attempting to
Dass another car collided with the
south-bound car, throwing the latter
into a ditch, and knocking two of the
wheels from the latter, while the Ford
lost one of its front wheels. The Ford
contained a man, his wife and baby,
while the big car contained the same
number of passengers.
As the women were being given
first aid attention by several who
witnessed the accident, one of the wo
men in the accident suffered from
collapse and was hysterical. Her
husband called out "Laugh for it
could have been worse and the acci
dent could not have been helped."
Automobiles by the dozen arrived
until traffic was fairly paralized
There were about 40 machines stalled
here, and when one of the drivers ask
ed another to move on or let him pass
he was informed "nothing doing until
the road was clear." This answer did
not meet with approval of the, form
er man, and he used an oath and at
this both climbed out of their ma
chines and started into beating each
other with fists. About 40 motorists
in attempting to separate the men re
ceived blows from the flying fists
and the women believing it a "free-
for-all" fight became hysterical. One
of the women said all she could see
wer lees anrl arms in the air. A
speed cop appeared on the scent and
took active part by assisting in sep
arating the combatants, threatening ta
arrest the two men unless they ceased
the fight. They ceased, and the road
was cleared for traffic, but needed
the officer to clear the road in order
to allow the machines to continue on
their way. The injured women and
the two men with broken machines
were forgotten in the melee.

Decision Made to
Buy Electric Plant
CANBY, Or., Sept. 6-At a meet
ing of the city council held on Tues
day evening, it was decided to take
over the electric
the Molalla Electric Company by Oc
tober 1.
This has been a discussion at the
counci! meetings for some time, and
the purchase is the result of rates
established about a year ago, many
people objecting to the higher rates,
and necessitated the purchasing ot
the interests of the Molalla Electric
company or installation' of a new
plant to supply Canby with electric
ity. At a meeting of the city council
held the first of May it was decided
to take over the equipment, provided
the company would come to the
city of Canbys terms.
A later meeting was held on Au
gust 7, at which time it was greej
to offer the Molalla Electric Power
Company $7787 as the purchase price
for its holdings in the city of Qan
bys light, equipment. This was ac
cepted by F. G. Robinson, manager,
provided 11350 be eliminated, which
the city of Canby has claimed as an
equity in the plant. It was then de
cided to eliminate this.
Mr. Robinson has been manager of

company, 54-56 Union Avenue, North,
Portland.
Jas. H. Billo, proprietor of this rug
company, absolutely guarantees the
work and everything turned out is de
livered on the approval of the cus
tomer. "The Fluff Rug is a economi
cal proposition, when service is tak
en into consideration. It is my hon
est opinion that a Fluff Rug made
right is equal " to any other kind of
rug costing twice the price of a Fluff
Rug. This opinion is based on the in
formation obtained from users giving
the rugs the hardest kind of wear.
For instance, we find hotels using
them in front of elevators and at
stair landings, where the traffic is
the hardest, to protect the other car
pet. Have talked with a number of
proprietors of rooming houses, etc.,
who admit that there is nothing that
will stand the hard usage they give
their carpets, as well as a good Fluff
Rug.
"We are making a special effort to
produce only the best grade of Fluff
Rugs. Can make them any size up to
12 ft. wide without seams."
The city hall muddle became tan
gled some more when the council met
Wednesday evening and heard various
angles of the state-wide farce aired.
A petition demanding that the record
er place a measure on the November
ballot submitting the recall of the
$35,000 issue of city hall bonds to the
voters was read. No action of the
council on this petition was required,
aa the initiative statutes make it com
pulsory for the provisions of a legally
constituted petition to be carried out,
and the measure will appear at the
general election to give the people of
Oregon City an opportunity to repeal
the bond issue. The bonds were voted
in May, 1920, by a vote of 763 for, and
492 against, or a majority of 271.
: Complications in the tangle also
arise from the fact that the council
a few weeks ago voted to submit the
matter of a location to the voters at
the general election. This acion was
not nullified, so the mystified public
will be asked in November to vote for
or against the bonds, and for either
an up-hill or down-town site for the
city hall. In event the issue is re
called and a site chosen, the action 1
nullified, and in event no site is se
lected, and the bonds not recalled1,
then the same condition that now ex
ists will continue.
da street. A gravel surface is asked
for, but the plan was opposed by Ed
Van Auken, a councilman, who owns
property affected, and who insists
that the improvement shall be a per
manent surface on the street, with
regular curbing and sidewalks. Ac
cording to Barker, his neighbors can
not afford the permanent improve
ment at this time. The matter was re
ferred to the street committee.
J. R. Bowland, residing on 12 th
street, urged the city to repair the
side-walks in the vicinity of his home,
declaring they were a menace to safe
ty. City property at 12th and Wash
ington was cited as being bordered
with walks in bad repair, j. E Hedg
es, speaking for propert owners on
Fifth street, asked the city to get
immediate action on repairing board
walks in that vicinity. He also in
duced the council to order the chief
of police to proceed with cleaning up
the site of the recent Williams barn
fire. Henry Templeton spoke on the
same topic, and Geclared the debris
remaining on the plot is a nuisance.
Jack Cameron, of D?vIsion street, ass
ed for speedy action on graveling his
street from Harrison to Molalla eve
nue, which has been graded and curb
ed. He pointed out that the street
had been ready for surfacing for a
month, and that with rains starting
and school commencing, the street
would be impassable unlessv the work
was completed. City. Engineer Roy
Stafford reported that the fault was
with the Oregon City Sand and Gravel
Company, who had the contract for
supplying the gravel.
Fire Chief Priebe pointed out the
danger that comes with parking cars
near the intersection of Seventh and
Main, when the fire truck is forced td
pass street cars at that point. He said'
that on two instances -accidents had1
been narrowly averted, and he asked
for the establishment of a safety-zone
prohibiting cars from parking on the
west side of Main street for a distance"
of fifty feet north of the intersection.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6. Initiation of
proceedings for the impeachment of
Attorne General Daugherty and Fed
eral Judge Wilkerson of Chicago on
the ground that the strike injunction j
granted by the latter at the former s
request was in violation of the consti
tution, was urged on Senator Borah
in a telegram dispatched today, by
John J. Dowd, chairman of the gen
eral strike committee of the Eastern
railroad shopmen.
The message addressed to Senator
Borah, as chairman of the senate com
mittee on education and labor fol
lows: (
On behalf of 25,000 railroad shop
men on strike in the New York met
ropolitan district, we urge upon you
the immediate necessity for the im
peachment of Attorney General Daugh
erty and Federal Judge Wilkerson.
The injunction against the striking
railroad shopmen requested by the bx
torney general and issued by Judge
Wilkerson constitutes a violation by
high government officials of the con
stitutional guarantees of American
freedom and of -specific federal stat
utes without precedent in the history
of the nation.
Soft words of interpretation spoken
in "high official quarters'"' after tn
issuance of the injunction can not
mitigate the plain language and intent
of the document. Nor can they wipe
out the astounding admission by the
attorney general reported in the press
the day the prder was issued that he
would use; the power of the govern
ment to maintain the open shops.

A motion made at the council meet
ing by Councilman Cross, seconded
by Bridges, to instruct the finance
committee to purchase the Caufield
property on upper Seventh street,
was withdrawn after it was shown)
that the terms of the petition must I
be carried out, and in view of the
former action of the body in putting
the selection of a site back into the
voters' hands. Mr. Cross was one of
the signers of the bond recall peti
tion. His proposition to purchase the
Cs.ufield property was bolstered up
with the statement that the circulat
ors of the recall petitions would agre
to withdraw their fight against the
bonds provided the location was im
mediately bought. The city attorney
and city recorder pointed out that the
recall petitions could not now be with
drawn. It was also shown that so
long as the litigation is hanging that
none of thebonds may be sold. The
petitions to recall the city hall bonds
were rejected by the council on vote,
but their action does not affect the
status of the measure to be voted on.
The petitions from the business
men of the city urging the city to
maintain a paid fire department con
sisting of four men, was presented to
the council and action was taken to
compiy wtin tne business men's re
quest. It was ordered that a force of
four paid regular firemen be maintain
ed until the end of the year, and that
a measure be drawn up to be placed
on the November ballots requesting
the taxpayers of Oregon City to con
sent to an additional tax levy of en
half mill in order to maintain the de

Questionnaire for
Water District Is
Given Out bv Board
The Oak Grove water commission is
circulating a questionnaire among the
residents of that ace for the purpose
of obtaining necessary data relative
to a request to be made to the legisla
ture for the enactrent of a special
measure allowing a 15 per cent bond
ed indebtedness for the establishing of
a water district.
Under the law the district can bond
itself for ten per cent of the assessed
valuation, and according to the engin
eer's estimates, this amount would be
sufficient to pay for the installation
fit the distribution system without the
construction of the main to the source
of supply.
By virtue of this fact a movement
is being considered to go before the
next legislature, which is scheduled
to meet in January. to ask for the
passage of the measure allowing an
increase in the bonded indebtedness
so as to allow the completion of the
water project. If the increase is grant
ed the sum of money which can be
raised for the district will total $17?,

DRIFT IS FOUND CLOSED:
RESCUERS GIVE UP HOPE
THREE DAYS ONLY
No charge for Consultation
JACKSON, Cal., Sept. 6. High
hopes have been dashed almost to de
spair again in the fight to rescue the
forty-seven entombed Argonaut min
ers. After breaking through sixty
feet of hard green stone formation in
an effort to circle a clogged drift on
the 3600 foot level, rescue workers
have emerged into the main drift
again only to find their way still
blocked.
It may be five days before the men
can be reached.
Indications are that the 353 feet of
drift, which mine officials had . ex
pected to find open, is closed through
out its length. If so, every foot of
the way will have to "be shoveled out
and perhaps retimbered. The rescue
crew broke through into the main
drift last evening.
When the night crew came off duty
this morning they reported that they
had been able to clear only ten feet
of the main drift.
