The enterprise $1,200 prlre voting
conteat waa announced laat Tueaday
and alnce -that time twenty-two can
dldatea have leen nominated, ten of
whom live In Oregon City, and the
others In various parta of the county.
When the naniea are announced next
Tueaday there will be many In ex
cesa of this number. Thla proves
beyond a reasonable doubt that thla
content will be the all absorbing toic
throughout the county for the nxet
fiw weeks.
The merchants and business men
of Oregon City have already ahown
a disposition to lend their aupport to
the venture launched by The Enter
prise In such manner a to prove
that the effort to give Oregon City
the repreaentatlon It deservea among
the well-advertised communities ' ta
being appreciated, and no doubt near
ly every resident In the county will
be approached for a subscription to
The Knterprltte, and will gladly eub
acrlbe If asked to do so. A good news
paper Is the most valuable asset In
any community and Is certainly
worthy of the aupiiort of those to
whom Its columns are always open
for the discussion of questions of Im
portance regarding public Improve
ments, school, etc. Therefore, It Is
believed fhnt every home In Oregon
City and the adjacent country will
soon be on the subscription list of
The Enterprise. The candidates In
The Enterprise contest should not
only receive the moral, but the ma
terial support In the district In which
the varloua names are entered from.
It la Just a plain case of boosting
your most useful, valuable and most
necessary enterprise.
Subscribers Oat Full Value.
Candidates when entering a con
test of this kind should look at It
from a business standpoint realizing
that when a subscriber favors you
with a subscription he la getting valun
received for every cent tnveated. If
persons you approach for a subscrip
tion are already subscrlbera have them
renew, or prevail on them to aend It
to an Eastern frend which will prove
a valuable medium to advertise Ore
gon -Olty and the adjoining commun
ity wherever It la sent. If candidates
and their friends will adopt this plan
of vote getting It will not only prove
a pleasant pastime, but will place
their names so far ahead on the list
of candidates as to reduce the chances
of losing to a minimum.
If the name of your favorite doea
not appear when the first list Is pub
lished, enter It at once, then vote for
her early and often and get your
friends to do likewise. Encourage
vour candidate by letting her know
bu you are lending your support and
before many days you wilt be aur
Drled at the number nf votes that
will be credited to her total. It la
a mistaken Idea for contestants to ex
lect to win If they depend on the
efforts of their friends entirely.- Show
tn inclination to help yourself for
others, will be ready to assist you
when you let them know that you are
'n the race to "do or die." This Is
the spirit to show in affairs of this
kind, and those who do ahow this
(termination are the ones that are
usually announced with the winners
when the prises are being awarded.

CHAUTAUQUA 0ROUNDS, GLAD
STONE PARK. Or.. July 15. Fire In
a pile of brush near the big auditor
lum on the Chautauqua grounds caus
ed much excitement here tonight. The
blse. which was started by an un
identified person, Illustrated the
grounds, and a panic started among
the thotiHands gathered lu-the audi
torium. But for the preaence of mind
of the manager of the Young Men's
Christian Association classes, which
were giving an exhibition, there might
have been aerlous results. Horses
near the fire atampeded, and aome-
one In the auditorium called for men
to help extinguish the fire. Immed
iately there was the greatest commo
tion In the auditorium, and at least
hair the crowd, estimated at 3.500,
rushed pell-mell from the building;.
it Daley, of the Young Men's Chris
tlau Association, who was performing
on the rings, realised that there waa
no danger and continued with hla ex
hibition. The crowd, however, con
tinued to rush from the building. The
manager of the classes went upon the
stage and assured the crowd that
there waa no danger. Thla had a
reaHsurlna; effect, and In a few' min
utes the audience returned to the
auditorium and witnessed the remain
der of he exhibition. One man waa
allghtly burned In extinguishing, the
fire. The police In charge of Marshal
Frost tried to find the man who set
fire to the pile of brush hut their ef
forts were unavailing.
MOUNT PLEASANT TO -HAVE
THREE TEACHERS
ANOTHER ROOM WILL BE ADDED
TO THE BUILDING THIS
-SUMMER.
The special meeting of the achoM
board and taxpayers of Mount Pleas
ant held at the Mount Pleasant school
house on Thursday evening waa large
ly attended. The matter of enlarging
the achool building and adding anoth
er room was contested by some of
the residents of that place, but waa
finally adopted. Aa there are more
than 115 pupils attending the school
and the pupils are crowded into two
rooms It was thought advisable to add
the extra room. The two teachers
heretofore have had too much work.
The school board, with the aid of
prominent taxpayera of the district,
got permission to build the addition.
During the past year many persons
have moved Into the school district.
An eight mill tax levy was also
passed, five for malntalnejice, and
three for Improvements. T. J. Gary,
county- achool superintendent, was
present and addressed the assembly,
being In favor of this tax and of add
ing another room. Another teachor
will be elected by the achool board tn
a few dBya. Two have been chosen.

Derbies protested before the game
started, but the Athletic Committee
finally agreed to let Berger do the
twirling, and make a decision after
the game. The purse, however, haa
been held up until the committee can

Is contended by the Oregon City men
that other teams which have, taken

and that nothing was said about ex

acute and after each one the patient

SHERIFF GOES TO OLYMPIA-TO
SEE AUTHORITIES ABOUT
SUSPECT.
PROBER SURE HE HAS RIGHT CLUE
Finger Prints and Other Feature o
Coble Tragedy Are Identical
Those In the
Hill Killing.
Sheriff Mass went to Portland late
last night, and will leave at 7:30
o'clock thla morning for Olympia,
Wash., to confer with the authorities
there regarding Swan Peterson, the
suspect under arrest In connection
with the killing of Archie Cobler and
wife, at Rainier, Wash. This couple
were slain In Identically the same
manner aa the Hill family at Arden
wald Station, and the authorities are
virtually agreed that both crimes
were committed by the same person.
Dr. George A. Cathey and bis brother,'
of Portland, have compared photo
graphs of finger prints found in the
Hill home and in a room ot a hoel at
Rainier and are convinced they were
made by the same person. There is
also other strong evidence that both
families were killed by the same
fiend. Peterson Is being detained at
Tacoma.
With a scientific preparation, used
In an atomizer, the Cathey brothers
traced Invisible bloodstains through
the hotel at Rainier to the room which
had been occupied by Swan Peterson
the night of the Coble tragedy. Every
object touched by Peterson showed
the tell-tale bloodstains under the
chemical formula applied by the Port
land Investigators.
When the Coble crime was first
reported, Sheriffs Mass and Stevens
telephoned to Rainier to have a care
ful examination of the bodies made.
They had been mutilated In the same
manner as the bodies of the members
of the Hill family.
Apparently, the crimes are aa alike
as two peas, the terrible details cor
responding exactly to the letter. It
Is the motive and peculiar form of
crime exhibited In the Hill and Coble
cases that forms the closest link be
tween them. .While It ta possible the
Coble murder may have been the re
sult of suggestion In the Hill case,
the smaller and more vital details are
such that the suggestive impulse could
not have brought about their duplica
tion In such an unusual degree.

" A lodge of coal three feet thick, and
which Is believed to extend through a
large hill has been found on a farm
near Molalla. The finder who Uvea
In Molalla. haa brought several
samples of the coal to. tae office of
Clyde McCrea, In this city, but asks
that his name be witheld until he Is
certain that he will derive the bene
fit from his discovery. The first
samples were brought to Mr. McCrea
about six weeks ago, and he thought ,
no more of the matter, until the man
visited him Thursday with larger and
better samples.
There Is little lustre to the coal, but
It la considered aa good. If not better,
than much ot that mined In Washing
ton. It Is not near so good aa the
Arizona coal.
The man told Mr. McCrea that he'
had found the coal while digging in
the side of the hill. After his visit
with the first samples he was told to
return to the bill and find out the
thickness of the ledge and whether
it extended far Into the hill On his
second visit he reported that the ledge
was three feet thick, and he waa con
fident it extended through the hill.
Tle samples may be seen at the office
of Mr. McCrea, .
