Mr. Stlpp did not give out a copy of th letter for publication, but It la understood that 't wa to the point It does not appear t'iat Mr. Stlpp tried to tvaoe tha duty he was aaked lo perform, but on the contrary sug gr.atod to Mr Moo-e that tha caae houl.l H probed by the grand Jury. It la Inferred that Mr. Moor a under stood thla should be Vim plaa of prr cedure when he ugreed to defer the proiecutlon In tnt j istlce's court "If anyone does not uke tha way 1 am doing rr-y woik.' said Mr. Stlpp. to a Morning Enterprise leporter, 'ie can 0 where he pleaaea. "I resigned as Deputy District Attorney sometime ago, and my resignation la still oend lng. I don't care for the office and If anyone can do any better. am willing for Um to take tha place.

COUNTY JAIL EMPTY; For tha flrat time since Ernest Maaa became sheriff of Clackamas county tha county Jail Is empty, J. Rhodes, who wag arrested In Sandy soma tlma ago for disturbing tha peace, was re leased Thursday after serving a sen tence of ten days, and A. Cain, who waa serving a aentenca for grand larceny waa paroled. Rhodes was the first ons to leave tha baatlle, and after his departure Cain complained that ha was lonesome.

James J. Jeffries, former heavyweight cham pion, and his brother Jsck today are on their way to Alaska to try a whirl at big game. r , two particulars, both of them amend ments by Senator Burton. One pro vides that candidates for tba House might be nominated In tha same man ner as candidates for tha governor ship. The other was that redisricting- shall be done by state legislatures except In those states where the Initia tive and referendum Is In force, where these laws might ba' Invoked. Under the Burton amendments, the Inltlatlve.and referendum may be used In states where popular government laws are In force. The proviso for nomination In the same way gover nors are nominated Is also a practi cal recognition of direct nomination, the primary laws of most states being based on the nomination of candidates for govervor. New Districts Created. Tha bill as paaaed provides for an increase in representation as follows; Alamaba, 1; California, 2; Colorado, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia. 1; Idaho. 1; Illinois. 2: Louisiana, 1; Massachus etts, 2: Michigan, 1; Minnesota, 1; Montana, 1; New Jersey, 2; New York, 6: North Dakota, 1; Ohio, i; Oklaho ma, 3; Oregon, 1; Pennsylvania, 4: Rhode Island. 1: South Dakota, 1: Utah. 1 West Virginia.. 1; Texaa, 2; Waahlnton. 2. In the twenty-one other states now admitted there Is no change In repre sentation. Tha bill provides for one representative each from Aiisona and New Mexico when admitted. An amendment by Root (Rep., New York) to retain the present member ship In the House waa defeated, 23 to 47. 'An amendment by Gronna (Rep., North Dakota) to make it 405 was beaten, 22 to 47. The two amend ments were Intended to reduce) the Southern Democratic representation, which would be Increased by the re apportionment aa adopted. Action on the reapportionment bill, which will doubtleas be promptly signed by the president, makes it car tain that Oregon will have three Con gressmen hereafter. The Oregon lee lslature last winter passed a law divid ing the state Into three districts In anticipation of the act of Congress. At tha primaries next April, there fore, each of tha two principal parties will nominate three candidates for Congress, one from Eastern Oregon, one from Multnomah county, and one from the counties west of tba Cas cades with tha exception of Multno mah. Old Baals to ba Used. It is presumed that the old appor tionment baala will be used as the basis for election of delegates to the national conventions of tha great par ties, aa the new apportionment does not tske effect until the next Con gress is ushered in. The next Con gress, for which nominations will be made next spring, will not be elected until November, 1912. - Under the old apportionment Oregon will have eight delegates to each national con vention, being twice the number of senators and representatives. Multnomah -county will comprise the third congressional district under the new apporionraent. Tha complete apportionment of tha state Is as fol lows: First Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop. Columola, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jack son, Josephine, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Polk, Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill. Second Baker, Crook. Gilliam, Grant, Hood River, Harney, Klamath. Lake. Malheur, ,Morrow, Sherman. Umatilla, Union, Walla wa, ' wheeler and Wasco. Third Multnomah. W. H. SILCOX BADLY T Dr. Carll said Thursday that W. H. Sllcox, the restaurant proprleco. wu wasjmured Tuesday In a runaway eccldent had, sustunod a broken rib. Atthougn ha was able to he out Mr. Sllcox mffered considerably, and It will ba aometlme before ha recovers. "I w certainly luckv in not being killed." laid Mr. Sllcox to a Mornlmt Enterprise reporter. "Henry Hoffman and I were driving near my ranch, which ib about four miles from the t-ltv, when tha horse fngoterad at a baby buggy. I was 'ot holding a tlrht rein, ..n' In almost a second the animal swerved off the road and ilaihed the buggy ara'nst A tree. I was throwr. out on my bead and ran Jered vneonscl us. It was almost a ha'f hou efor I cam to, I sup pose." Mr. Sllcox's head was bruised, but It was no( discovered' that one of his ribs was broken until sometime after the 'accident. Mr. Hoffman, was not hurt. NAVAL DIVISION FORMED TONIGHT MEMBERS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR CRUISE ON BOSTON THIS SUMMER. PORTLAND OFFICERS ARE COMING Band is to ba One of Features of Pro posed Organization New Arm ory For Oregon City la Now Aaeured, The Oregon City division of tha Naval Militia will ba mustered In to night at the A. O. U. W. HaU. at the corner of Seventh and Center streets. Only those who are mustered In to night will be eligible for the cruise this summer, which Is to ba determin ed "by traptanmeyrioldc niere 1 t ej-by ttig-crrmmlsnlou after ' h Patronise our adventaera. every possibility that tha cruise will be to Ban Francisco. Physicians will examine ail candi dates and tha enrollment papers will be made out tonight so that tha of ficers may know tba number to pro vide with equipment Either Dr. Wolf' or Dr. Norden, of Portland, wtti Dr Melasner, of Oregon City, aa assis tant will be the examining physicians. Any of the boys who fall to appear tonight will have to wait till another yee.r to get In on tha cruise and a full complement Is expected. There are many lads ready to go who have not signed. They will be allowed to enlist as well aa those who signed the petition asking for tea organiza tion of the division here. Dye Racaivea Orders. Tb orders to proceed with tha mus tering In were Issued to Acting En sign Dye Wednesday afternoon by Al bert J. Cbapron who wrote aa fol lows: Sir: You will proceed with tha .organization of a division at Oregon City Armory. Rent, clothing, arms. etc., will ne allowed. "By order Of the captain command ing." Th orders were Indorsed verbally by Lieutenant Commander Edwar-'.s. rankjng officer of the Oregon Naval Militia. Information was received at tha Militia Headquarters that Lieutenant Wolcott G. Hall, of tha regular navy, has bean assigned permanently to the Cruiser Boston by the Navy Depart ment. Lieutenant Hall la on board the Boston and ready to begin his duties. There , is a possibility that another officer will be assigned to the Boston also to co-operate with Lieu tenant Halt. ' Acting Ensign Dye, who Is tha only member of the Oregon City Division with any technical training In naviga tion and the other departments of tha work will probably ba made a junior lieutenant and be placed in charge of the division. An ensign also will be elected, the local boys stating their preference, but the appointment will only go to a person who can qualify. Tha business session will ba presid ed oer by Harry Miller, president of tha temporary organization. Mora than forty boys have signad th mem bership blanks and with tha others who want to enlist there la little doubt that Oregon City will have one of the best divisions in the state. The local organization virtually will be a civil organization, having a mili tary drill, and on shipboard will prob ably lose its individuality In tha for mation of tha ahlp'a company. Proposed Band Interests Much Interest has been manifested In the proposed division, and espec ially by musicians who expect to ba members of tha band. There Is a fine chance to organize a local band with wider affiliations than can ba ac complished by a strictly local club. Three uniforms will be Issued to each member of tl' band, making the cost of organization virtually nothing and insuring the band a fine appearance at a minimum of expense. The band would also have the benefit of a first clasa leader. It could always operate aa a separate band and. only when co-operating with the Portland Divi sion Band, would the Identity be merged In that of the central organl ctalon. The Naval Mllltla Band that played at tho Chautauqua Assembly waa con nected with the Portland Division but the money earned went to the musical organization to divide or to spend on the organization. The same rule would apply to the Oregon City boys. Lieutenant Humphreys and Yeoman Beckwtth of the Portland Division will be present officially tonight to repre sent the Oregon Naval Mllltla and several others will probably coma P also as tha Portlanders are much in terested In the new organization. Means New Armory. The officers and members of Com pany G. of the O. N. G-. are rejoicing over the organization of tha division of the Naval Mllltla for It will neces sitate the erection of a. naw armory and the new armories that the s'ate la erecting are pretentious buildings and a credit to any town. Both or anlzatlons will co-operate In boosting for the armory, tha aita for which baa been donated by N. R. Lang. The site is at tha west end "t the sus pension bride In tha townstto of Mo t aushlin. 1 The preaent armory will be Inadequate for the tvo organlza tlona and new quarters will ba neces sary. Such equipment as Is not assigned during the cruise will be apportioned after the return, which will Include locker space etc., and the dlvls'on will be put. In shape to do effective work. The social features of tha organlza tlon will he unexcelled. Tha boye. are nlannlng for tha organization of base ball, football and track tearis, tennis, basketball and all kinds of athletic-.

Formerly there waa no urgent n -d tor a i-ollce-man on the hill, but thera is and I shall do my utmost to hav one pro vided. Many of the roi'lM i n asked ma to do what I can 6 obtain police protection, and ihe'r arinnt are convincing. Mora iowli, rp on tha hill now than itm, f nd tha residents should be protected from them." Mayor Brownell on Thursday reap pointed Jack Frost to do patrol duty In the hill sectloi for Ave days, and said that he would keep reappointing him until the council made a decision tn the matter.' Owing to the large amount of territory that haa to be cov ered it was suggested Thursday that tha bill policeman should have a horse. A mounted policeman could cover the territory will little trouble, at little, If any extra expense to the city. . "OIL CAP" PIERCED; "GUSHER" EXPECTED W. E. Mumpower, who visited the Stone oil well Thursday, declared that the prospects of obtaining a "gusher" were more promising mitu fore. "The 'oil cap' has been pierced." said Mr. Mumpower, "and there seema to be no question as to o-l In large quantities being near. Tha experts say that the formations being encount ered are the same aa are always found Just befora oil Is .reached. We are much more encouraged thiin ever be fore, and every person who nas made an examination of conditions this week la confident that tha enterprise will ba a big success."
