The more enterprising cltlren have felt for a long time the need ot gelling away from the neceaalty of trading In Portland, and supplying the want of Oregon City people In the home market. Hut how to do thla ha sometime puxxled the brlghteat busl neaa meu. The plan aa outlined Tues day by a bualnea man to a represen tatlve of The Enterprise eeemed slm pllclty Itself. Securing Sit First Thought. As In all well laid plana of this na ture the locality Is the rirst tboughi. and afier looking over the entire city the north end was selected. Here a sufficiently large tract, clone to the Southern Pacific, "the electric and on the river was secured. The land Is level and Is well drained, being Ideal for the purpose. Building Erected. With hardly anyone knowing that anything out of the ordinary was go ing on, theBe men have carried for ward their plans to a climax. A the manager took the Enterprise man around the fine new 24x100 building, showing with pride the ad- it u ti I u ir nf Mr h ilevtiie initialled. Tie could not help hot wonder that the opportunity had not been seizea ue fore. A neat and commodious office waa also Inspected. Shipment Coming In. C. J. Hood, th manager, was a very busy man and had to leave sev eral time during the Inte-vlew to direct the unloading of two large car load of lumber. Everything Imagin able In the lumber line waa there. A complete carload of Inth was waiting rvn Hmithorn Pacific tracks. Bid Jng, moulding or all kinds, caBlngs, shingles, rough and aressea nimuer of all grades and lengths wa being classified and stored iu neat piles. Preparing For Boom. Mr. Hood aaya: "Wa have realised for a long time the need of having an up-todnte lumber yard In Oregon City, whete a man can get a 2x4, a fence post, a small quanlty of dresaed lum ber or where the contractor can get everything for a building a block square." ' Over four thousand dollar- have been expended to date. Dellverle To B Prompt Two teams were busy hauling away orders that had commenced to pile up, ahowlng that the people are quick to take advantage of anything really good. Mr. Hood said: "We realize that nuimii rliv la on the verge of a boom, and we are preparing to meet .with tho entrance of the new Clackamaa Southern railway Into the city and the possible building i iue canal and lorka, there la bound to be lot of building going on, and from the number of r.amern peopie mm (Continued on Page 3.)

FATHER OF ONE MAKING AEROPLANE Lads Start For 8acramento Where They Expect To Become Navi gator Of Air In Short T'me. The lure of flying waa more than George Christopher, sixteen years of age, of Seattle, and Clyde Kast, four teen years of age, of Hlllman City, Wash., could withstand, so the boys left their , home Sunday night and started for Sacramento, where the stepfather of the former Is building an aeroplane. They were arrested here Tuesday by Policemen Oreen and Cook as they were climbing Into a boxcar to continue their Journey. The lads told many conflicting stor ies, but finally admitted that they had started for Sacramento, where they had expected soon to become exper ienced aviators.. Christopher said that he lived at 2215 Eighth avenue, Seattle, and that he was a newsboy. Kast, who Uvea at S73G Juan Terrace, Hlllman City, has been working for a Seattle Pub llHhing company. The boys arrived in Portland Monday where they spent several hours seeing the sights. Then thev came to Oregon City. Christopher said that his mother had given him $5 with which to go to amento to find his stepfather. ' not written home for several e lad said that his father, rig Seattle, announced he i to Sacramento to build an "".Pd lUf I1ICI1U WHW UnVA of money. "Mother became uneasy about fath er," said the lad. "and finally asked me If I thought I waa big enough to go hunt him. I told her that I could do that all right, and all at once the Idea of flying In the big machine came to me. So I asked Clyde If he would go along, and he "said he was game. The 'fiver' wouldn't pay for both of us on the train so we decided to 'beat' our way. We got along fine until we struck Oregon City where we were 'Jugged.' " The lad will be held here until their parents are heard from.

EBY FICHTS FOR COUNTY FAIR LEVY Treasurer of Aaaoclatlon Think That Debt of $7,000 Should B Paid H. E. Croaa TO 8pak on Canal and Lock. ' Into the multitude of Us amend ment that will confront the voter of Oregon at the November election next year, the Live Wire of the Ore gon City Commercial Club will pry. with an earnest endeavor to find the light. At the weekly luncheon Tue day. Judge O. B. pimlck declared that the problem that confront the peo ple In relation to tax question are o Intricate" thar-they-are understood toy torn and cainnalgn of educt!"3 ahould be conducted. City Recorder U Stlpp and ex Senator Hedges were named a committee to make an In vouituatinn nf ihn nrooosed 'measures and amendments and make a report at next Tuesday a luncneon, wneo ice tax auestlon will be discussed by the Live Wires. Attorney Stlpp also in terjected into the question tne ac tions of the State Tax Commission relative to the assessments of public service corporation. Mr. Stlpp I not satisfied with the existing law ana thi is a matter that the Live Wires will also peer into. It is very probable that consiaera ble time will be devoted this winter by the Live Wires to taxation mat tera. both state and county. Thla Is a matter that affecta nearly every body and member or the Commercial Club will no doubt become better ted within the next few month. It I contended by many that the revenue tax measure and amend ment proposed are ao conflicting In their character that endless trouble must certainly ensue by the enact ment of 'some of these measure and the defeat of other. The legislature ha submitted two measure provid ing for the repeal of the county tax amendment aeveral have been aub mltted by the Granges and there are others embracing a modified form of Single Tax that will be presented by W. 8. U'Ren. Leaving the slate-wide tax que Hon to Itself temporarily, a movement has been set on foot to induce the County Court to levy a tax of one quarter mill for the partial upport and malntainence or the Clackamas County Fair. This step Is fathered by O. D. Eby, treasurer of the Fair Association, and has the support of some of the heaviest taxpaver cf the rountv. notably the Willamette Pulp A Paper Company. Mr. Eby aow that while the association ha 40 acre of valuable land at Canby and some buildings, there Is a debt or about 17 noo that should be Dald. The as sociation this year netted about $500, which will be applied on tne indebted ness, but this was a successful yea' with fine weather and It is safe to assume that In succeeding year the County Fair will not be o ionunate. A lew of one-nuarter mill will pro duce about $0,000, and will mean only 25 cent on each $1,000 valuation. Mr. F.hv has served notice that he will. at next Tuesday' luncheon, Introduce a resolution commending the nropos ed levy which will unquestionably have the support or the Live v ires. H. E. Cross, the Nestor of tbe Live Wires has announced that he will talk on locks construction next Tues day. Mr. Cross lived here when the nresent locks were constructed and he l prepared to make statements concerning tnem tnai win oe ot con Irterahla Interest. He was warned by T v. iuiIioi who was emDloved on (-the construction of the locks, tht he too has a ripe memory for tnelr effect and Influence bn the Clly' growth and welfare. "This discussion Is awaited with considerable Interest. MISSING INDIAN MAY - BE FOUL PLAY VICTIM Mystery shrouds the disappearance of Henry Hennlng, a young Warm Spring Indian, (who has been missing since Friday night, September 22. Hennlng and his wife and small baby were camped on the West side of the river and the last known of the miss lug man was In the vicinity of the Secrest - barn, where he wa seen drinking with James Thompson.. Jame I'mtniich and Pnrrlsh FltimmlnK. three other Indians, who said the next day that Hennlng bad been arresieaa na would not be heard from for a long while. These three men left at once for the reservation, without further explanation and made no attempt to find their missing companion. The police were appealed to but they have discovered nothing, and It Is generally supposed that Hennlng either fell, or was thrown Into the Willamette Rlvr on the night of his disappearance. Hennlng' father, made a remarkable ride to the reservation and back, a distance of more than 200 miles In a little more than two days to find the three Indians who were with hU on, but had to return without dl covering their whereabouts. Hen nlng young wife and child, and his father, are still camped at Gladstone and hope to find news of their miss ing man. j ; ; f- Our greatest clubbing offer.

POLICE IN ALL COAST CITIES AND TOWNS SEARCH FOR FARMHAND, CIRCULARS ARE SENT BROADCAST Sheriff Mas And Portland Man Work Day And Night On Case Victim To B Buried in The Dalle. Although Sheriff Mass, of Clacka maa county, and Deputy Sheriffs Leonard and Bulger, of Mifknomab county, have devoted their entire time alnce the discovery of tn body of John Thomas, the wealthy rancher, who wa f jund slain In his home near Sycamore Station Sunday sight, to tracing the slayer, no Information ha been obtained regarding hla where about. Having robot,.! bis victim of $65 and hi gold watch. It i probable that the murderer I many mile from the scene of the crime. The authorities are making every effort to locate Charles Swain, the ran employed by Thomas, who was with him the night he was alain, and was seen to leave the house the nexi morning. It Is believed that Swain could clear the mystery. If the man's real name is Swain I believe he will be captured," said Sheriff Mass. Tuesday night, "but If that was a fictitious name the man has a chance to escape. However, we shall leave nothing undone that might lead to his capture. Several persons have told us that this man made threats against the life of the aged rancher, and it is possible when he saw the purse filled with money he could not withstand the tempta tion to kill his employer. I am cer tain, if we find Swain, or the man who called himself Swain, the mys tery will soon be solved." ' "' The sherin ha mailed circulars. giving an account of the death of Thomas and a descrption of th man employed on the ranch, to all point on the Pacific Coast, and the police In all the towns and cities axe look ing for him.
