An attack upon the figures on the
indebtedness of Clackamas county ad
vanced by the sponsors of the move
to recall County Judge Harvey E
Cross, la expected during the cam
paign that will be waged in the event
that the recall measure is placed upon
the ballot. The petitions being cir
culated to recall Cross contains sta
tistics upon the amount of warrants
outstanding against county funds, in
tended to show that Cross' adminis
tration has Increased rather than de
creased the indebtedness as was his
pledge when he ran for office.
The figures submitted by the .re-
callers are expected to be attacked
from two bases, perusal of the records
indicates, although no formal move
has been made by Cross supporters,
nor has the judge offered any state
ment in defense of his positon. The
expected reasons are:
Accuracy Is Attacked.
1. That the figures as given in the
recall petitions are not accurate.
2. That the figures as cited are not
truly representative and are not a
mathematically correct basis for com-
j parison of the warrant indebtedness
for the years m question.
On the petition, the recallers cite
that Cross took office on an economy
platform, at a time, December 31
1920, when the warrant indebtedness
then outstanding amounted to $359,-
636.62. Figures in the county trea
surer's office, open to public perusal
show it is claimed, that the actual
warrant indebtedness at that date was
5325,236.72. Cross supporters will
doubtless point out that this alleged
discrepancy Is in the judge's favor,
for it gives a larger warrant indebted
ness at the beginning of his Incum
bency than actually existed, and would
makt the increase during his admin
istration comparatively smaller. But
they are also expected to enter the
plea tb.it the inaccuracy would cast
a reflection upon all of the statistics
that are presented.
Tape Payment Makes Change.
SilverTon Represented.
S. W. Miller, of Silverton, was in
Oregon City on Monday, coming here
on business.
Aurora Man Transacts Business.
Louis Kelling, of Aurora, was in the

Ohio Physician Visits.
Dr. H. D. Nichols, prominei pro-j
fessional man of Ravenna, Ohio, has
been spending several days in Oregon
City. Dr. Nichols made his first trip
to Oregon City, and is favorably im
pressed. He contemplates visiting a
number of other cities as well as
the summer resorts before returning
to his home in Ohio.
Milwaukie Represented.
Among those coming to Oregon City
on business Monday was Mrs. Dossie
Smith. Her home is at Milwaukie
F. Fisher and Wife in Dakoto.
F. F. Fisher, a well known poultry
breeder of Parkplace, who recently
left for a visit in North Dakota,
writes to friends here that he is en
- joying life. He has taken a number
of interesting motoring trips, among
these to scenic parts of Moorehead,
Minn. For the present he Is at Far
go, N. D. He was accompanied on
the trip by his wife, and both expect
to remain for about a year.
Mulino Man Came to City.
Mrs. C. S. Carlson, was in this city
Monday. Mr. Carlson's home is at
Mulino.
Oak Grove Represented.
Oak Grove was represented in Ore
gon City on Monday, when O. F. Dill
man, of that place came on business.
Weiser Sells Farm.
H. E. Weiser, who has been making
his home in the Cams country for
several years, was in Oregon City
on Friday. Mr. Weiser has sold his
livestock and has rented his farm.
He and his family are to make their
future home in Portland, where he is
to go into the grocery business.
Weiser has had experience in that
line before taking up his residence In
. Clackamas county.
J. M. Dickinson In City.
J. M. Dickinson, of Boring, was
among those to transact busness n
Oregon City on Monday.
Transacts Business.
George Winzler, of Canby, was in
Oregon City Monday. While in this
city he transacted buisness.
Mrs. O. B. Sherrill In City.
Mrs. O. J. Emery, of Barlow, was an
Oregon City visitor Monday. She
came here on business.
The second contention is based upon
the fact that the warrant indebtedness
cited, is quoted from December 31,
1920 to September 1, 1922. It is point
ed out that the warrant indebtedness
is flexible, as the period of payment
of taxes intervenes. Road work, dur
ing the heavy construction period, Is
done upon a credit basis, warrants be
ing endorsed, and allowed to draw in
terest. As soon as tax collections be
gin to come in in sizeable amounts,
the money is turned over to the treas
urer, and the warrant's called, reduc
ing the outstanding indebtedness- to a
considerable degree Taxes being
naid ud April 5 and October 5. the
months just proceeding this period
show a heavy debt outstanding, while
immediately after this period, end per
haps for almost another month, the
warrant debt is low, until it beings
to be enlarged through the endorse
ment of warrants for which there are
no funds, or no funds until the next
tax collection period.
Claims May Differ.
The recallers cite that the warrant
indebtedness September 1 of this year
was $426,197.72, an Increase of $66
561.10 over the amount cited by the re
callers for December 31, 1920. Cross
supporters are believed ready to make
the claim, based upon figures in the
county records, that December is
month when the indebtedness is com
paratively low, because tax collections
have paid much of the outstanding
warrant claims, while September, just
before the fall calls, is a month where
the warrant indebtedness reaehes its
height. June and July are taken as

Portland Attorney
Is Barred By Court
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 3. George Estes
Portland attorney, was disbarred from
the practice of law in Oregon, in an
opinion handed down by the supremo
court this morning.
Estes was accused by the griev
ance committee of the Multomah
County Bar association of unprofes
sional conduct. Six separate charges
were made by the committee, three
of which were upheld by the su
preme court and three being dismiss
ed.
tween 300 and 400 bales of Oregon
have changed hands in the last few
days at 8. to 10 cents and several hun
dred bales of Californias were sold at
the same prices. The buying was to
fill eastern orders and was mainly
new business, as the eastern brewers
had allowed their stocks to run down.
The brewers' demand, however, is ex
pected to be even smaller this r
than last and with the export outlet
practically blocked except for old con
tracts, the trade does not take a very
cheerful view of the future.
It is regarded as almost certain
that a large proportion of the Pacific
coast crop just harvested will have
to be carried over, which makes next
year's prospect worse than ever. The
Oregon 1922 crop is now estimated at
50.000 to 55,000 bales, the California
crop to 80,000 bales and Washington
at 18,000 to 20.000 bales. New York
produced about 3000 bales.
