ENGINEER THOMSEN SUGGESTS PLAN
Expert Declares it is Possible to Make
Big Improvements Here
Without Resorting
Drainage.
E. Burstem Thomsen, assistant en
gineer in the district presided over
by Major Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers
U. S. A., has hinted that it may be
possible to construct the 1200-foot
concrete wall that will divide the
Willamette River locks, at Oregon
City, from the property of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Com
pany, without closing the plant to
navigation.
The undertaking will be a large
one, as the wall is to have a height
of about 20 feet, and when completed
will form one side of a flume or mill
race that is used by the plants at
the falls.
It was first thought that the locks
and canal would have to be drained
so as to " permit the construction of
the wall and that the project would
be undertaken during the low water
periods, but Mr. Thomsen is hopeful
that the scheme can be carried
through with water in the canal.
The proximity of the canal and the
flume now causes a strong current,
as the wall between them is not as
high as the one proposed, but with
the completion of the improvement it
is said the water in the canal will be
still and besides making it possible
for steamers to be locked through at
all times without the necessity of be
ing "lined," the absence of current
and the expeditious operation of the
gates will reduce the average time
from 45 minutes to 35 minutes, and
possibly to half ari hour.

Tomorrow marks the opening of the
third week in the Enterprise Auto
mobile race and the starting of an
other special contest. This, the second
of a series of ten day contests, closes
March 15 and the contestant getting
the most votes between tomorrow and
March 15 will receive a $15 merchan
dise certificate. The previous stand
ings of the different contestants will
have no bearing upon the result of
this special contest as each entrant
starts out tomorrow morning on the
same footing with all others.
From all sides there are assurances
that in the ten days to come, Sheahan,
who had a walk-over in the last spe
cial contest, will have to "hustle
some" to kep his position at the top
of the list. Judging from indications
Miss Ruby McCord will give ''Joe'' "a
fast run" for the prize this time. Miss
McCord is a very popular girl and
this, coupled with her determination
to win, makes her formidable. Her
friends are supporting her with vigor
and vim and declare she will eventu
ally win the big touring car.
The Molalla country has been heard
from and no doubt that section of
Clackamas County will be represented
by numerous entrants before the week
is over. Some of those already in the
race declare it is easier to obtain
subscriptions from the farmers than
from the city folk ,and-af this is true,
the contestants from the outside dis
tricts will have no trouble in forcing
their way to the top of the list.
While every vote cast between now
and June helps, yet the special con
tests are receiving much deserved at
tention. Some persons who simply
cannot find time to stay in the race'
for the big prize, are in the game to
win one or more of the special prizes,
which are awarded every ten days.
While everyone realizes that these
special prizes are worth a little work
required, no one appreciates this fact
more than the winners. Sheahan, the
winner Saturday .appeared on the
streets with several new articles of
wearing apparel which he obtained at
the L. Adams Department Store
Vote3 are what count and votes
are given for every subscription to
the Weekly or Daily Enterprise. These
subscriptions may be new ones or re
newals, and the new subscriptions
may begin at any time and the sub
scriptions of present subscribers ex
tended. Of course the long term sub
scription is worth more votes than the
short term ones, but every subscrip
tion has its relative value in votes.
There is still time and room for a
few more to get into the game. Any
person living in the county is eligible
to enter, and the sending in of one'
subscription will place any name on
the list of candidates. The Enterprise
presents the opportunity to you, or
to any one, to win a new fore-door
Ford touring car absolutely free There
are no strings whatever to the offer.
The big car goes to the person having
the most votes June 1. Votes are is
sued for subscriptions to the Enter
prise and it is simply a matter of get
ting subscribers. Your ability can
only be measured by what you WILL
DO ,and you have the same chance
as any other entrant.
Right now is the time to enter your
name. Come in and talk it over with
the Contest Manager or write to him
for particulars. But don't delay the
longer you wait the harder it will be
to catch up wjth the leaders.

AY
i
ORDER CLOSING RIVER AGAINST
THEM MARCH 1 IS CALLED
ARBITRARY.
TEST CASE IS BEING CONSIDERED
Law Provides That ' Closed Season
Shall Begin March 15 Three
" Deputies Are Sent
Here.
The fishermen of Oregon City and
vicinity may test in the court3 the
order of the Fish and Game Commis
sion closing the Willamette and Clack
amas Rivers against net fishing March
1. The order does not prohibit ang
ling for salmon and it is reported that
when the water becomes clear enough
to fish with line and spoon the net
fishermen will demand that they be
allowed to operate. In case they are
refused one or two probably will vio
late the order in order to establish
the test case.
According to the net fishermen, the
law provides that the closed season
here shall begin March 15, and the
commission acted arbitrarily in clos
ing the stream against them March 1.
Fearing that the fishermen would ig
nore the order, the commission has
sent Chief Deputy Warden Rathbun
and Deputies Mitchell and Powell, of
Portland, here in a patrol boat. H.
W Trembath, the deputy who has been
stationed here, has been given a leave
of absence, because he was well
known to. the fishermen, and it was
feared they could elude him It is
thought the other deputies, being
comparative strangers to the fisher
men, will have better success.
The fish and game commission in
issuing the order starting the closed
season March 1, gave as a reason for
the change the recent stocking of the
rivers with salmon ,and said the ac
tion was necessary for the protection
of the young fish. A friend of the
fishermen said that there would be
no wholesale violation of the order,
and, if violated at all, it would be
for the purpose of having the order
tested.

BIG TAFT RALLY
CLACKAMAS COUNTY REPUBLI
CANS, TO MEET AT SHIVE
LY'S OPERA HOUSE.
IT MEN
E TO AID
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt Say This
Is No Time for Ex-President
to Become a Can
didate. Leading Republicans of Oregon City
and vicinity are planning a big rally
in the interest of President Taft's
candidacy for re-election. The rally
probably -will be held at Shively's
opera house next Saturday afternoon,
but the date has not been definitely
decided upon The intention is to in
vite the Republicans of Clackamas
County generally to join with the
Oregon City workers for the interest
of the party and organize to carry
on a campaign for Mr Taft in this
county. It is planned to have prom
inent speakers from outside of the
county at the rally, and after "the
speaking to organize a committee for
the purpose of promoting the interests
of President Taft in a systematic man
ner. While it is apaprent that the sen
timent in Clackamas County is favor
able to Mr. Taft, it is considered a
wise policy to organize, and bring
out the full strength. Even among
the Republicans who are friendly to
Colonel Roosevelt, the opinion pre
vails that the ex-president should not
be a candidate at this time. They
argue that Taft, having made an ex
cellent record as president, deserves
to be given a second term, and that
a change at this time would lead to
confusion with no reason or expla
nation why it should be done.
Among the prominent Republicans
who have been interviewed and will
take an active part in the meeting
are J. F. Albright, E. L. Johnson, M.
E. Dunn, William Sheahan, W. A.
Huntley, C. G. Huntley, B. T. McBain,
Dr. Hugh Mount, Gordon E. Hayes,
George C. Brownell, Col. C. H. Dye,
Dr. Clyde Mount, H. E. Cross, Dr. Guy
Mount, W. H Mulvey, J. C. Bradley,
Frank Jaggar, J. D. Ritter, R. S. Mc
Laughlin, J. T. Apperson, W. R. Lo
gus, W. M. Stone and W. J. Wilson.
These men will take an active in
terest in the campaign for Mr. Taft,
and while Chairman Stipp, of the
County Central Committee, is taking
no active part in the organization of
the committee, it is known that he
favors Mr. Taft for president and will
not consider anyone else for that
office before the primary. That Clack
amas County will go overwhelmingly
for Mr. Taft is assured, his supporters
here declare.

LOS ANGELES, March 2. The ju

that, according to attorneys, there is
a possibility that all charges may be
