'GOLDEN RULE GOVERNOR'S POLICY
William Jennings Bryan Addresses
Multitude of Citizens, After
Having Held Himself
In Seclusion.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 14. With
simplicity that in matters official has
come to be called "Jeffersonian"
characteristic of that part of the West
which was last to be surrendered to
civilization by the advance of the
white man George W. P. Hunt was
inaugurated as the first state governor
of Arizona today.
A iew hours earlier in the day
word had come by telegraph from the
National capital that President Taft
had signed the proclamation admit
ting Arizona the last of the territor
ies on contiguous soil, as the 48th
state of the Union.
The ceremonies attendant upon the
birth of the state and the induction
into office of its first executive, were
entirely devoid of the pomp and dis
play that usually accompany inaugu
rations. No uniforms glittering with
gold lace were in evidence. The mili
tary was conspicuous by its absence,
for the new governor is averse to os
tentation. There was but a meager
display of even the silk "stovepipe"
hat and the frock coat, which only a
few years ago invaded Arizona. It
was a simple affair throughout. Phoe
nix has witnessed much more cere
monious functions.
A flash by telegraph from Washing
ton that President Taft had signed the
proclamation of admission, was the
signal for a wild outburst of enthus
iasm from thousands of the citizens of
the new state, who had gathered at
the Capitol for the inaugural. The
plea of Governor Hunt for a simple,
quiet, decorous ceremony was forgot
ten. The air was rent by "Wild West''
shouts and yells, the shrieking of
whistles and the heavy report of
bombs.
Governor Thomas F. Marshall, of In
diana, arrived today to attend the In
augural. He was on the stand with
Governor Hunt when Chief Justice
Kent administered the oath of office.
William Jennings Bryan, who came
to the Capitol with Governor Hunt
yesterday, remained in seclusion until
2 o'clock this afternoon, when, after
the parade insisted upon by the citi
zens, he delivered an address to 5,000
or more persons in the City Hall
plaza.
Accompanied by a number of newly
elected state officers and a number
of close friends, Governor Hunt, woo
began life in Arizona a quarter of a
century ago as a waiter in a small
mining camp restaurant at Globe,
walked the mile to the capitol build
ing. When the Governor and his es
cort arrived, the lawn and flower
lined walks of the Capitol grounds
were crowded with cheering Arizon
ans, radiant in the first flush of com
plete citizenship. The large majority
of them will this year, for the first
time, cast their votes for a President
of the United States.
The inauguration ceremonies were
brief. After a prayer by Rev. eaborn
Crutchfield, wl)o was chaplain of the
Constitutional Convention, over which
Hunt presided, the oath of office was
administered by Chief Justice Edward
Kent, of the Territorial Supreme
Court, his latest official act in that
capacity. Richard E. Sloan, Arizona's
last Territorial Governor, stood be
side his successor.

CANDIDATES DETERMINED TO WIN
Names of Nominees In Greatest Cam
paign For Subscription; In
County To Be Given
Sunday.
The names of those "who have been
nominated as candidates In the Enter
prise Grand Automobile Contest will
be published next Sunday. All en
trants who have been nominated
previous to next Monday the opening
day of the contest, will be credited
with one thousand free votes if they
are ready to start with the others in
the race for the Ford Automobile
which will be given to the one who
receives the largest number of votes
from next Monday till the first of
June. Votes will be given on all sub
scriptions taken for the Weekly or
Daily Enterprise, the number of votes
given depending upon the length of
the subscription. Any person living
in Clackamas county is eligible to en
ter the contest and all will have the
same chance in winning the $7S5 Au
tomobile. To enter the race all that
is necessary is to clip the nomination
blank that is found elsewhere in this
paper have it properly filled out and
sent to the Contest Managers before
Monday. Every one that is nominated
by that time will receive the free
votes, but after the contest starts the
only way to get into the game is to
send in your first subscription, which
will be counted the same as a nomin
ation. The last nomination blank that
will be printed will appear in Sunday's
paper, so it is to the best interest to
all those contemplating entering the
contest to see that their nomination
blank is sent in at once. The only
way to get that thousand free votes
in is to have your blank at the En
terprise office before Monday.
In next Sunday's paper will also be
printed the complete schedule of votes,
showing how many votes will be giv
en for each subscription. By study
ing this schedule you will find that it
will best pay each contestant to use
every effort to get the long-time sub
scriptions. Of course every new sub
scriber is worth votes, but the one,
two and three year subscript'ons are
the ones that will help the most. Sub
scriptions may be taken to begin at
any particular time and the subscrip
tions of present subscriptions will be
extended from the time their subscrip
tion expires. There is no set terri
tory in which any contestant must
work there being no restrictions what
ever regarding where they are to go to
get subscribers.
While quite -a number have already
signified their intention of entering
the race there are a number of others
who are holding back to see who
their rivals will be. This is a mighty
poor plan, for by doing this they will
lose a thousand votes by not being
ready to work next Monday. Those
who get busy from the very start of
the contest will have the easi 3t time
of it.
It seems to be the unanimous opin
ion of all that in giving a new Ford
Automobile as the grand prize that no
better reward to the one who gets
the largest number of votes, could
have been secured. An up-to-date ma
chine is one of the things that every
one wants, and to think that Enter
prise is going to give a new Ford away
absolutely free seems beyond belief.
But facts are facts and on the first of
June some one will surely get the car.
The contest from beginning to end
will be carried on in the fairest possi
ble manner. The Enterprise will have
no favorites in the race and every one
will have the same treatment. Today
is the time to send in your name. The
longer you delay the harder it will
be to catch up with the rest of the
candidates who are eagerly waiting for
next Monday so they can start in dead
earnest. You have as good a chance as
any one, and it is simply up to you to
get the most subscriptions to win the
grand prize. Watch the paper each
day for further announcements which
will interest every one who contem
plates entering the race.

PLAN WATER SYSTEM
A special meeting of the Gladstone
Commercial Club has been called for
tonight by President Harry Williams.
The most important matters that are
to come before the club are the im
mediate installation of the water sys
tem. More than 100 persons have
signed an agreement to take water
as soon as the plant is in operation
and as several contractors have of
fered to install the system and take
city bonds in lieu of cash a large ma
jority of the people think it is up to
the council to take immediate action.
The Portland Railway, Light & Pow
er Company sometime ago submitted
a franchise to the City Council which
was rejected. The railway company
has since ignored the request of the
council for a station at Herford street
and has refused to furnish light to
houses until the franchise be signed,
The fare is higher now in both direc
tions than ever before since the build
ing of the road. These matters will
be carefully discussed by the citizens
at the meeting tonight.

PAY FINE, HE'S JAILED
Henry Oppermann, proprietor of the
beer hall on Eighth street, was fined
$25 and given a sentence cf ten day3
in jail Wednesday afternoon by Re
corder Stipp for allowing two boys to
enter his place. Oppermann only a
few daye ago was fined J50 which he
paid for selling liquor to a minor. The
saloou man protested when taken be
fore Recorder Stipp and declared that
he did not sell liquor to the boys who
entered his place. He also said they
looked like adults and he had no way
of telling they- were not Oppermann
refused to pay the fine and Chief of
Police Shaw locked him up. The sa
loon man declares that he is a victim
of circumstances and insists, the fact
that he was arrested and fined for
selling liquor to a minor a few days
ago would have made him on the alert.
His defence was that he could not
keep boys from entering his place.
NEWLY WEDS HAVE
The marriage of Mrs. Eloise Road
man and W. H. Miller, the latter
postmaster and merchant of Glad
stone, was recently solemnized, and
as they are both prominent members
of the Rebekah Lodge of that place, it
was arranged to have a mock mar
riage Tuesday evening, following the
business session of the order, and the
plans were well carried out and caused
much amusement. Those participat
ing in the affair are well known resi
dents of Gladstone. It was one of
the "prettiest" weddings of the sea
son. The ceremony was performed
at l o clock p. m.
Immediately preceding the cere
mony Mrs. R. M. McGetchie, one of
Gladstone's leading soloists, rendered
very impressively "Because I Am Mar
ried Now," and at the conclusion of
which there was scarcely a dry eye
among the guests.
To the strains of "What's the Mat
ter With Father,'' rendered by Miss
Nellie Riebhoff, the "bridal party,"
led by "Little" Sally Gault, who acted
as flower girl, and who skipped gaily
ahead strewing their pathway with
cabbage leaves and parsnip tops. The
bridal party proceeded to the altar
where they were met by "Rev." A. F.
Parker, the officiating clergyman. The
beautiful ring ceremony was used,
Master Louis Sickler acting as ring
bearer, who bore the ring on a huge
green satin pillow. The "ring' with
a solemn vow was placed about the
bride's neck by the groomsman.
The "bride" was attended by Hon.
H. E. - Cross, and the groomsman by
Elstella Salisbury, who was attired in
Alice blue - Dennim, imported from
Missouri. The "bride" was attired in
a brown traveling suit, her hair be
ing, decked with bright yellow orange
blossoms. .
The "impressive" ceremony was per
formed under a huge white bell in
which was placed a cow bell, which
chimed during the entire ceremony.
A wedding supper followed the "mar
riage" ceremony, after which the
bride served the guests with delicious
candies..

frequently in the past and hope to see
him many times in the future. My
visit to him this morning had no spec

than this.
Governor Johnson left the confer

FREIGHT RATE TO BE MUCH CHEAPER
$300,000 To Be Spent In Repairing
Locks So There Will Be
No Delays In
Navigation.
Official authorization is looked for
immediately, possibly today; by Major
J. F. Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers, U.
S. A., to close negotiations with the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company for the purchase of the locks
at Oregon City, for $375,000. The War
Department will spend approximately
$300,000 on repairing the locks and
basin and in the construction of a con
crete wall to separate the property
from that of the corporation, which
will retain all other holdings at the
Willamette Falls..
News of an agreement having been
reached was received Wednesday on
the arrival of Major Mclndoe fn Port
land, from Washington over the North
Bank line, at 7:45 o'clock last evening,
He confirmed the fact that government
ownership of the last barrier to free
navigation of the Willamette was an;
early probability.
Major Mclndoe departed from Port
land last month for the Panema Ca
nal via Washington, and before he
left the Isthmus received a cable di
recting him to report at Washington
on his return and it was at a confer
ence with officials there that an
agreement as to the price was reached.
Immediate possession will not bo
given the government as it will be
necessary for the Portland Railwa,
Light & Power Company to execute a
deed conveying the locks system and
abutting property that is included for
a keeper's habitation and other build
ings and the instrument will be for
warded to the Department of Justice
for scrutinization. When accepted the
Government will assume charge and
all tolls will cease. It is planned to
make repairs so that river traffic will
be interfered with as little as possi
ble. The depth over the sills of the
locks will be increased so there will be
no delays to navigation due to low
water .while the gates and other equip
ment will be overhauled.
It is not intended to widen the locks
at present though in the plans and
specifications compiled for the pro
posed locks and basin on the West
Side, the right of way for which would
have to be condemned, it wa3 proposed
to have sufficient space so that two
vessels could lock through in com
pany. - .
B. S. Josselyn, president of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company, is in California, and East
ern officials of the company met with
War Department executives and com
pleted details of the negotiations.
While the possession and control of
the canal by the Government is not
expected to result In the movement of
the major portion of freight handled
between Portland, Corvallis and inter
mediate points by water, it is believ
ed that it will result in a reduction of
freight rates by railroad.
The canal now collects a toll of 50
cents a ton for all merchandise pass
ing through it. A rate also is fixed
for passengers and livestock. When
the Government takes charge or it
passage through, the canal will be free.
This will reduce the water rate in a
sufficient amount, it Is thought, that
the ral lines will have to cut their
rates to meet the- water competition.
However, Major Mclndoe, in his re
port te- the War Department recent
ly, calculated that 20 per cent of the
merchandise passing between Portland
and Upper Willamette River points
will be handled by the canal. He esti
mates the merchandise handled an
nually at 600,000 tons, which would
give the canal 120,000 tons yearly.
There is also a fair movement of pas
sengers at all seasons of the year
when the river is open.
The Willamette is navigable as far
south as Corvallis. The steamer Po
mona maintains regular service be
tween Portland and Corvallis, while
the Oregon operates regularly between
Portland and Salem. Other vessels
will be placed on taese runs it is pre
dicted, if the Government relieves the
owners from tolls at Oregon City.

Examination Is Expected To End
Saturday One Important
Linlc In Chain Is
Lost
The Clackamas County grand jury
went to Ardenwald Wednesday after
noon and inspected the scene of the
Hill murders. They were not accom
panied by Sheriff Mass who will leave
the grand jury free to work out the
case in its own way, though that of
ficial will not discontinue his efforts
to find the slayer.
Aside from this trip, the grand jury
discontinued the Hill murder investi
gation until Friday, as the District At
torney is compelled to be absent from
the city, and during that time the jury
will take up other matters with Deputy
District Attorney Stipp.
Only four more witnesses are sched
uled to appear before the grand jury
Mrs. Metier of Ardenwald, who will
testify as to proposals said to have '
been made to her by Nathan B. Har
vey, the suspect; Owen Wilson, who
was in jail with Harvey, and to whom
Harvey is reported to have said that
he lingered at Ardenwald station on
the night of the murder until the other
passengers had departed; Sheriff Ste
vens, of Multnomah county, who as
sisted the Clackamas County authori
ties in trying to ferret out the murder,
and Sheriff Mass, whose testimony
will probably wind up the hearing.
Wilson's present whereabouts are
unknown, but the officers have his
deposition. It is expected the exam
ination will end Saturday, and that
soon thereafter an indictment will be
returned against Harvey.
