chise Into the city, with the privilege
nf selling light, hest and power to
fthose who wish It. Friday night thla

privileges, and the proposed franchise
was referred to a special committee
of three to act and report at the next
meeting of that body. Thla commit
tee la comiwsed of Messrs. Meyer,
Roake and Andresen.
Oregon City Is anxious for another
electric railway, and the route to bo
traveraed by the Mount Hood lo. is
the ono which business men or tne
city would like to see opened up to
this city.- And If thla company means
business, and can convince Council of
that f.net, and of the further fact that
the company la willing to give the
people of this city a square deal, there
will be no difficulty In securing all
the privileges that are d"e to the com

not think It would be beneficial, but
a good healthy competition would
make thlnga Ideal and not injure any
one. "But wo don't want to see another
row of poles up Seventh street or
any other atreet for that matter. What
we want to see la a company come In
here for business and not for trouble,
and not either to cut up our atreeta
and make conditions worse and then
find that It cannot make money and

t For Carter
8lck. -
8ALKM. Or., Feb. 17. (Staff Cor-
respondence.) With only 17 votes In
Its favor, Senator Dlmlck's eight-hour
law railed to pass the House this af
ternoon. There were 40 votes against
It. .. .
The special committee consisting of
the House standing committees on
Judiciary and revision of laws, to
which the bill waa re-referred, this
morning reported It back without rec
ommendation. In Ita report theroni-
mlttee expressed the belief that the
bill was unconstitutional In ita pres
ent rorm.
Senator Dlmlck and frienda of the
bill appeared before the committee,
which held a meeting late last night.
Fouts proposed that the bill be amend
ed so that Its provisions should apply
only to manufacturing and mechanical
plants where the conditions of labor
are Injurious to the health of employ
er or employes, but this waa not ac
ceptable to the members of the Joint
committee. Other members of the
legislature asked the committee so to
amend the bill that Ita provisions
would not apply to various Industries
of the State. Senator DlmlcK, How
ever, would not consent to the Incor
poration of any such amendments
feeling that the effect would be to
render the measure unconstitutional
and Inoperative, When the bill came
up aa a special order at Z o clock this
afternoon Thompson moved that the
louse proceed to vote without further
debate. To this the House agreed
and' the vote waa taken. Because of
sickness. Representative Carter was
absent w hen the voto waa taken. The

GOOD ROADS LETTERS
FROM CITY READERS
WIDER PUBLICITY OF IDEAS SEEM
TO BRING OUT NEW METH
ODS AND THOUGHTS.
We have two more good roads Jet
tera, which express Ideaa not found In
the others published a rew days ago.
These letters Indicate that people are
awaking to the fact that good roads
are needed; now what Is necessary Is
that people get to thinking as to what
is wanted, and how to get what la
wanted. ,
We are glad to give expression to
the Ideas of any or the readers or the
Enterprise. The letters rollow;
""Veb. 11. 1911. ,
Editor Enterprise: My belief Is
that a roadtnaster, ir appointed by our
County Court, will not take away from
the county court any or its powers un
der the law as It now exists, but the
services ot the roadmaster will tend
only to relieve tb,e County Court and
to systematlxe tbe business or road
building. Nor do I believe that this
roadmaster will supersede our super
visors. It seems to me that the road
master being an overseer may be Of
very great assistance to our Road Sup
ervisors, Just as the superintendent
of construction Is In the matter of
heavy construction work on railroads
and manufacturing establishments
and other concerna. It aeems to me
there Is little or no reason to heslcate
In this matter because the history of
business demonstrates the advisabil
ity of having a competent single man
at the head of all large construction.
I do not think an Incompetent man
should be appointed under any cir
cumstances, ror that would unques
tionably work great Injury, but 1
think a competent man, even at a con
siderable salary, ought to be appoint
ed or none. Yours truly,
JOS. E. HEDGES.
Editor Enterprise: I sincerely hope
that some way may be worked out
through which the road building of
Clackamas County may be superviseu
by some thorough and competent en
gineer and road hunaer. 1 wm
that the road supervisors as a body
are honest men and doing the very
best they can under the present sya
tnm hut there can be no general plan
of permanent work and permanent
road building with each road dlatrlct
a separate system unto Itself.
I believe that the road supervisors
generally will be glad to have the aa-
alstance of a thorough roaa man, anu
with whom thoy may consult about
the laying out, draining and putting
down of roada and I am convinced
from the figures quoted by Judge Dim-

CHIEF'S .SALARY RAISED.
Council Passes Unanimously, on First
Reading, Ordinance Doing 80. i
Chief Shaw seems to be making a
record as an officer and collector. Uy
the terms of his contract, and from
the nature of the case, the chief Is
given the duty of collecting the fines
and llcei.zes due the city. So far this
month It Is reported that he has col
lected $108. and that in doing so has
established a new record.
It Is useless for Council to assess a
rine. levy a license or ror the city
court to assess a rine if It is not to be
collected. And ir they are all collect
ed It Is an easy matter to pay the man
who does the work. As the- new
Chief Mr. Shaw haa been doing bet
ter than the ordinary Council went
ahead last night and raised bis salary
rrom $75 to 1100 a month. At least
the ordinance waa passed first read
ing unanimously at the meeting Friday

NEW-FOUND "FRIEND" LEADS HIM
TO GAMBLE AND WIN WITH
USUAL SEQUEL.
DROPS OTTO SHARK'S CCtTEKS
Carrie HI Money to Frisco In Face
of Warning Given Him
By Lawyer and
Friends.
A good old farmer of Damascus waa
recently made the dupe of a bunco
of San Francisco sharks who beat
him out of $3000 by that old game of
allowing the victim to win a large sum
but requiring him to put up big money
as evidence that he la entitled to bis
winnings. It Is a bunco game aa old
as the hills, but there are many men
who are unsophisticated and suscep
tible to the trick. But when tho game
Is played so near home as In this in
stance that fact In Itself adds Interest
to It even though the trick is an old
one. .
The old farmer s one of the most
staid and reliable in the Damascus
neighborhood, and he has a family
who are as Industrious aa himself.
He has been away for several months,
traveling In Mexico and Southern Cali
fornia. While enroute home from that
Southland, and while on shipboard on
the way to San Francisco, he fell tn
with a man who purported to be an old .
farmer like himself. The two became
quite chummy while at aea and when
they landed in Frisco began to aee
the sights together, the other profess
ing Ignorance of tbe city aa great as
bis own.
In the course of their wanderings
the two dropped into a pool room
where there waa gambling on tbe rac
es. His friend bet a dollar on the
races and won. The old farmer was
induced to make a small bet. He put
up a dollar, remarking that if he did
lose It wouldn't break him. But at
the end of the receipt of a few figures
on the wire be was told he had won
$3000.
Naturally the German wanted his
money. But be waa at once told that
such was not the rules of the game; '
that he must put up $3000 to prove
to them that he could have paid In
case he had lost; that the fact that
he bad won could not Inure to his ad
vantage unless be was in position to
pay in case he had lost; that thla was
a sportsman's game and that they had
neglected -to tell him this supposing
1 he had known it inasmuch as bis part
ner was wise. But he waa assured
that be had won the $3000. and in ord
er to get it it was only necessary to
show that be could have paid Ui case
h A . ,
. d ere wag where h new-found
-,. wa. enabled to ateer him right
and assure him that it waa a square
game, that the house had made money
on the day's transactions and that his
winnings made but a small hole In
tfc6 day., prof4u of tne house.
i T make a ,ong 8tory 8nort, he was
Jo make
' t h, money. Arriving
, ., rtn hl. ,aw.
yer and consulted him In the matter. ,
The lawyer saw at once that hla client
waa greatly excited and learned that
while he had been away from home
for niontha he bad stopped In town to
fix this deal up and had put off going
home till a later day. The lawyer
told him he waa being deceived; that
he bad no winnings but that the .
sharks wished to get him into the city
with the money and then divorce him
from it.
The Dutchman could not see it that
way but did finally go home and talk
with his family. A day later he and
his wife, son and brother came to see
the lawyer who gave to all his version
of the trick. But he was atlll certain
of his winnings and borrowed tbe mon
ey, put It Into a draft and started ror
Frisco. Before going, however, he
assured bis friends and lawyer that
