reduced to 20 cents, and E. L. Char

S. L. Stevens was the spokesman
for the Canemah delegation and he
said that the 3 cent commutation rate

and that Canemah Park station should
be moved about 300 feet south to

better light and that the Canemah
cars should be run through to the
Southern terminal during the evening
hours, connecting with all cars from

It is not often that a newspaper offers such an elaborate prize as has been purchased by The Enterprise
for its annual circulation contest that will open next month. The five-passenger automobile shown in the
"above illustration is one of the few cars that has stood the test of time and its popularity is well attested by the
fact that one-fifth of all the automobiles sold in the United States last year were Fords.

the town as a city. . The vote was
close 38 to 36. Three years ago
when the city was incorporated the
vote in favor of it was almost unani
mous. Because of the failure of the Coun
ty Court to canvass the returns of
that election, the incorporation was
recently declared invalid and another
election was called. There is some
doubt as to whether the town has a
right to incorporate as a city under
the existing state laws, and the courts
probably will be called upon to make
a decision.
The officers elected Monday are as
follows:
Mayor J. T. Gary. -
Recorder H. Leisman.
Treasurer A. Bremer.
Marshall J. t. Edmonds.
Councilmen: G. L. Snidow, H. T.
Shipley, William Criteser, John Ream,
Sr., Frank Oliver and D. A. Duncan.
The County Court will canvass the
returns the latter part of the week.
CANEMAH FIGHTS FOR
BETTER CAR SERVICE
Residents of Canemah will hold a
mass meeting in Stokes' Hall tonight
for the purpose of formulating a re
quest to the City Council of Oregon
City to compel the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company to raise its
tracks, at the Southern limits of the
city. The purpose of this petition is
to eliminate the necessity of the peo
ple of Canemah climbing up over the
Southern Pacific tracks to escape the
high water that inundates the P. R.,
L. & P. Company tracks. The Ca
nemah people feel that Oregon City
will be able to obtain this concession
when the company asks for a new
freight franchise next Fall. Mayor
Grant B. Dimick, of Oregon City, will
address the meeting.

LOVES WIFE NO2 BEST, HE SAYS
Letter From Bride of Few Months
Clew For Chief Shaw Married
Second Girl After Being
Arrested.
Richard Hyland, a young man who
was married here November 3, was
brought to Oregon City Monday night
FREE TOURING CAR
from The Dalles by Deputy Sheriff
Miles on a charge of bigamy. Hyland
came here in October with Elsie Wil
helm, of Albany, and Chief of Police
Shaw was notified the couple were
not married. Hyland was arrested,
but he and the girl agreed to be mar
ried, and he was released. The young
man admitted Monday night, accord
ing to the police, that he had a wife
in Chicgo, Cal.
"I was in a peculiar predicament,"
said Hyland. ."I thought I would be
sent to prison if I did not marry Miss
Wilhelm, and I felt that I might be
if I did, and it was learned I had an
other wife. . I love my last wife
best."
The evidence against the prisoner
was obtained by Chief Shaw, who got
his clew from a letter- which Hyland
left in a room which he and his bride
occupied here. He and Miss Wilhelm
came here in October. The marriage
ceremony was performed by Justice
of the Peace Samson the day Hyland
was arrested. About a week later the
couple left the city, going to Hard
man, Morrow county. The letfer ob
tained by Shaw was from Hyland's
wife living in Chicov Cal. The chief
wrote to the Chico chief, who replied
that Hyland married a seventten-year-old
girl in Albany, May 17, 1911.' He
said the young wife was living in
Chico with her parents. Mrs. Hyland
No. 1 told the Chico chief that she
had received a letter from Elsie -Wilhelm
intended for her husband noti
fying him that the police were look
ing for him.
Shaw wrote to Sheriff Hayes at
Hardman, who located Hyland and his
wife No. 2 at The Dalles. Shaw,
through County Clerk Mulvey, obtain
ed an affidavit that Hyland and Alver
etta Werz were married in Albany,
May 17, and swore out a warrant
against Hyland, charging him with
bigamy. The warrant was given to
Deputy Sheriff Miles, who -want af
ter the prisoner.
DIVER SEARCHES IN
Hugh Brady, a Portland diver, made
a futile search Monday for the body
of Paul Piatt, the six-year-old boy,
who slipped under the railing on the
walk between this city and Canemah
into the river. Brady will continue
the search today, but says there is
small chance of recovering the body.
The boy's mother, who was with her
son when he fell from the walk, is
still in a serious condition at her
home in Canemah. The father, O. F.
Piatt, who is employed in Providence,
R. I., telegraphed that he would ar
rive here Wednesday, and assist in
the search for the body. Mr. Piatt,
who was employed as a dyer by the
Oregon City Manufacturing Company
until a few months ago, upon arriv
ing in Providence arranged for send
ing for his family. They lived in that
city before coming to Oregon six years
ago. Brady said he was confident the
body had not floated far, but the wa
ter is so deep at the poinf where the
boy fell, the diver fears the body will
not ie recovered.
