Editorial "The McLoughlin Monu
ment Thirty-five years ago next Sat
urday, September 3, 'Br. John Mc
Loughlin died in Oregon City. The
most prominent figure in the early
history of Oregon and the Northwest,
a man of noble qualities, whose deeds
smoothed the way for the Oregon pio
neer, Dr. McLoughlin's tomb is mar
ked by an insignificant slab. There
is no question that great honor is due
this wise and sturdy benefactor of the
early settlers. The Enterprise, this
roughly outlined comprises the erec
week, opens a "McLoughlin Fund"
subscription list. The design as
tion of a monument to Dr. McLoughlm,
in this city. The sum at present in
mind for the purpose is $10,000, one
half of which should be appropriated
by the legislature and the other half
by contributions by private subscrip
tions. It will be nearly a year before
the money need actually be paid. We
wish to have every subscription hon
'egislature that the people really mean
business. As a starter we will put
half of which should be appropriate
down the Enterprise for $50.

AUTOISTS COURTESY RULES
Courtesy on the road among motor
ists is akin to safety. Lack of cour
tesy often leads to recklessness, which
in turn leads to accidents.
The following list of courtesy rules
is published by the Dodge Diary, and
motorists wo read and practice these
ules always will be in the right.
1 When a man approaching you
from behind sounds his horn as a sig
nal that he wishes to pass, don't step
on it. Draw over to the right and let
him by. X
2 Do not use more than your half
of the road, thus crowding others into
Vie ditch.
3 It is not courteous to "steal" a
parking place from a man who is Just
getting ready to back into it.,
4 Do not imagine that every motor
ist on the road who tries to pass you
is starting a race. He may be on im
portant "business.
5 When you pass a man from be
hind going in the same direction, do
not cut in directly in front of him.
This is discourteous.
6 Do not shove another man's car
along the curb to make room for yours
thus jamming his car against a fire
plug or the car ahead.
7 It is discourteous to halt behind
a traffic jam and honk your horn.
8 The correct giving of hand sig
nals is courteous as well as safe.

Petition to Seek
Recall Vote On
City Hall Bonds
Carl G. Green, of Oregon City, filed
a petition with the city recorder to
have a measure placed on the Novem
ber ballots calling for the recall of the
city hall bonds of $35,000. These bonds
were voted nearly three years ago,
but the city hall has been held up on
the work on account of the city's ina
bility to get a suitable location and
contract. The petition bears about 320
signatures sufficient to have the mea
sure placed on the ballots.
About $6000 have already accumu
lated to pay ttff the bonds, although
the latter have never been sold By
the time the bonds can be recalled.
if the measure meets with success,
about $.1000 will have been accumulat
ed. There will also be a measure on this
same ballot asking the voters of the
city to decide on a location for the
hall. This was voted by the city coun
cil at their last meeting, following the
abandonment of plans to build the city
hall on the Singer Hill site. It was
decided by the council that it would be
impossible to build on this site with
the money voted and available for the
building. The Singer Hill plans, if
adopted, would have -necessitated a
cost of approximately $5000 in addi
tion to the $35,000 voted for the build
ing, according to figures determined)
at the last council meeting. Rather
than go to this additional expense the
council ordered that a measure be put
on the ballot asking the people to se
lect a site where it would be possible
to erect a hall within the means al
ready voted for that purpose.
Complications also arose regarding
the Singer Hill site upon the threats
from taxpayers in the city to enjoin'
any attempt to build on this location.
If the Green measure is carried at
the fall election, it will cancel all prev
ious action by the city relatiye to a
city hall, and leave the city with a
fund of approximately $8000 which
has been set aside for the purpose of
paying off the bonds and interest.
Charles B. Cord
Up For Forgery
At Cottage Grove
EUGENE, Sept. 1. Charles B. Cord,
who was recently extradited from Cal
ifornia, on a charge of forgery, was
taken to Cottage Grove this afternoon,
where he was given a preliminary
hearing Before Justice Joe Young.
Cord is charged with forging a check
for $250 given a jeweler in Cottage
Grove for a diamond ring. Cord wa
located at Red Bluffs, California, and
was returned to Oregon by California
authorities.
Cord is also wanted by the Clack
amas county authorities. A warrant
sworn out in this county has been
sent to the Lane county sheriff. Fred
Stickles, and it is expected that at tne
completion of Cord's hearing on the1
forgery charge in Lane county that
he will be returned here.
While in Oregon City, Cord sold ad
vertising for a curtain which he was
to furnish the Grand Theatre of this
city.. He collected about $400 in ad
vance, but failed to furnish the cur
tain and motor. When the curtain
failed to arrive, Charles Schram, own
er of the Grand Theatre, wired the
Wqptern Scenic Studios, of Denver,
whom Cord was supposed to have rep
resented. It was learned that no
such firm "existed in Colorado,
letter from Mrs. Cord, in Eugene, Btat
letter from Ms. Cord, in Eugene, stat
ing that she would be personally liable
for her husband's affairs in - Oregon
City, and said further, ''You may rest
assured that, the curtain will be put
in at the earliest possible moment."
Cord is understood to have worked
similar schemes in many other cities,
and in one place it is said he secured
as high as $900 for curtain advertising.
Scientific Tests
May Determine
Baby's Patelmity
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 5. On
the theory that "blood will tell," it
is said that the science of determin
ing the paternity of a child by tests
of its blood will be invoked in the
forthcoming trial of Harry Poulin,
prominent clothing merchant, who is
charged by John T. Tiernan, professor
of the Notre Dame university law
school, with being the father of his
youngest child. Professor Tiernan is
suing to -6ompel Poulin to acknow
ledge paternity of the child and to
support it. The child was born tc
Mrs. Tiernan last November.
In addition to this charge, Profes
sor Tiernan intimates he will establish
Poulin's illicit relations with a prom
inent South Bend married woman, if
he is pushed to that extremity to win
his own case. In that case, as well
as his own, he claims to have a large
number of witnesses.
This additional charge has increas
ed the excitement in university circles
and in the city of South Benrl to the
exploding point. The scandal is the
sole topic of whispered conversation
on the campus and in the city and
sides have been taken by the popula
tion. The university folks are almost ;
solidly back of " Professor Tiernan,
while the city is lining up back of
Poulin, who is very popular, a mem-1
ber of many societies and cluM and
considered wealthy.
