Today is the free vote day in the
third special contest which closes
next Saturday. The candidate poll
ing the most votes today will be
awarded 2,000 free votes which rep
resents two one-year subscriptions,
and needless to say every entrant will
be an active participant in the wild
scramble to gain the extra votes.
Ballots may be cast in the big bal
lot box in the Enterprise office any
time from 8 o'clock this morning till
4 o"clock this afternoon, at which
time the votes cast for the day will
be counted. While the entrants are
having no great difficulty in landing
subscription, the idea of 2,000 free
votes is pleasing to all and has in
the past proven an incentive for extra
hard work and it is predicted by
some that a number of the entrants
are planning a big surprise.- Sheahan
badly needs the free votes to help
regain his former location at the top
of the list, and he would have little
trouble if it were not for one per
son. This "one person ' .is Miss Ruby
McCord, who unassisted is holding
her own in splendid style. Miss Mc
Cord is certainly a hard worker and
fully deserves all the success she is
having getting votes, for every one
like3 to help a person who Is willing
to hustle and is always on the job.
What will Wilson do? The "what"
is bothering more than one entrant,
who remembers this young High
school athlete's phenominal run of
more than 20,000 votes two weeks
ago, on his first day in the race. If
he should make another spurt, simi
lar to the gain the last special vote
day, he would head . the list of can
didates which is the coveted goal of
every one entrant in the race for the
new $785 Ford. That chap Brown is
very apt to "spring" something today
too, so taking it all in all there will
probably be some interesting deve
lopments.
The base ball boys seem to be alive
to the wonderful opportunity pre;
sented to easily obtain new outfits
and they will probably nominate one
of their number, whom they will, to
a man, support in his efforts to land
the big black touring car. They can
win "hands down" if they only work
half as hard In this contest as they
struggle to win ball games, and the
$750 which they -could easily procure
for the fore-door Ford, would buy
them a complete outfit of uniforms,
bats and balls as well as leave a hand
some sum for the improvement of
the ball park.
One week from today, the special
contest prize, a $15 merchandise bond
on the J. Levitt store will be present
ed to the contestant gaining the most
votes between the 15th and 30th.
In the attempt to capture first hon
ors this time rivalry is intense, but
permeated with a spirit of good fel
lowship and "may the best man win

The city council, at a special meet
ing Friday evening, was unable to
agree upon a site for. the Carnegie
Library, and the mayor ill call an
other meeting in a few days to give
further consideration to the subject.
The Woman's club was represented
by a delegation, which opposed the
location of the library in McLoughlin
Park. It was through the efforts of
the club that the home -ot Dr. Mc
Loughlin was preserved. The mem
bers of -the club fear if the library
is located there the park would event
ually become known as '"Carnegie
Park." Representatives of the Li
brary also were present. The council
was enlightened upon the work of.
the Woman's Club and what the Li
brary Association proposes -to do."
A report of the committee of -ten
appointed by the council to find a site
for the library was heard, nine of the
members favoring the southeast corn
er of McLoughlin Park. The report.
was opposed by the delegation from
the Woman's Club, short addresses
being made by Mesdames J. W. Nor
ris, L. E. Jones, W. A. Shewman,
George A. Harding and David Cau
field. Captain J. T. Apperson, through S.
P. Davis, made the following offer,
but no action was taken upon it:
"As agent for Captain J. T. Apper
son, who still owns a little property
in this city. I this day had an inter
view with him with respect to the
gift for the site for the talked of
Carnegie Library. I called attention
to lot No. 4 in block 51, situated at
the northwest corner of Ninth and
Washington Streets, as one which it
seemed to me is ideal in location for
that purpose, and asked whether he
would not be good enough to make a
gift of that lot for purposes named.
Thereupon he called my attention to
the fact that that lot and the one
immediately adjoining it he now owes
the city for street improvements the
sum of $796.43. He authorized me
to inform your honorable body that if
you are willing to make a rebate of
said sum due for street improvement
on the two lots named, he will ex
ecute and deliver to you a warranty
deed for the corner lot (the one at
the northwest corner of Washington
and Ninth Streets) on condition that
it is to be used for a library build
ing." It wa3 voted to have a special meet
ing on call of the mayor. The meet
ing is to be held In- private, and the
site for the library determined.
A delegation of Canemah citizens
and members of the Canemah Com
mercial Club, fifty strong, appeared
before the council, and explained the
danger to the city in case of another
flood like the one in 1890 and the in
conveniencs to residents of Canemah
under the existing road coditions dur
ing high water." Messrs. Hedges and
Spencer told their . experiences and
explained why high water now causes
more trouble than it did before the
dam was built at the crest of the falls.
It was agreed that a committee of
three Canemah citizens meet with the
mayor and street committee to con
sider the work. It was the opinion
of all that the walk should be raised
by the Portland Railway, Light &

GEORGE C. BROWNELL
SCORES SINGLE TAX
Although his address was necessar
ily a short one, persons who attend
ed the political meeting at Gladstone
Thursday evening, declare that
George C. Brownell made one of the
best arguments against the single tax
that has been made since the theory
was advanced in this county. Mr.
Brownell showed how the theory If
put into practice would work a hard
ship upon the small land owners, and
virtually would result in the confii3-,
cation of their property. He declared
the passage of a law embodying the
.single tax would retard the develop
ment of the, state "and Clackamas
County. Mr. Brownell was enthusi
astically applauded throughout his ad
dress. To Establish Branch

$25,000 Or

The proposed debate between W.
S. TJ'Ren and Grant B. Dimick in Ore
gon City on "Single Tax" is in abey
ance. Mr. U'Ren wrote Mayor Dim
ick Friday that he had rented Shive
ly's Opera House for a debate next
Saturday night. The Mayor replied
that he would be in Mount Angel that
evening. He also took exceptions to
parts of the letter. -
The correspondence follews:
"Dear Mr. Dimick:
"Yours ofj the 20th inst. at hand in
reply to my' third invitation and gives
me much joy. I have rented Shive
ly's Hall for Saturday night, March
30th, and shall be glad to meet you.
If the printing of the tax roll is not
complete. I will have the original
books at the Hall and in the mean
time you can consult them at your
pleasure in my office. I would no
more think of being personal in such
a debate than you would. I neVter at
tack a man's private character in a
political discussion.
Sincerely yours,
"W. S. U'REN."
"Dear Sir:
"Your letter of March 22nd, stat
ing that you had rented Shively's
Hall for the evening of March 30th,
duy received, and as I will be in Mt.
Angel on that date I will not be able
to meet you. In any event I will have
something to say when this meeting
will be "held, and as far as I am con
cerned it will not be held until after
your promised tax list is published
and circulated. You stated at Beav
er Creek at our former meeting that
you expended the Fels Fund on the
single tax measures last year, and
that you would spend twenty-five or
thirty thousand dollars of the Fels
Fund this year if necessary. I want
that tax roll published as you agreed
it would be, so there will be no
slightfof-hand performances in this
debate.
"We are making our fight on sin
gle tax on principal without money,
and if we are compelled to fight twenty-five
or ' thirty thousand dollars of
the Fels Funflrwre have a just right to
ask for the printed evidence or tax
roll that wa3 promised. - Your origi
nal roll would be very little use, un
less we could take it and make de
sired comparisons with the present
roll.
"The last paragraph of your letter
to me of this date is wholly uncalled
for, but as it is in keeping with your
methods, I pardon you.
"Yours,
"G. B. Dimick."

JAGGAR BUYS STRATTON PROP
ERTY ON SEVENTH STREET
CORNER
BIG HOTEL MAY BE BUILT SOON
Lots. Bought About Thirty Years Ago
( For $600 Purchaser Recently
Deposited Check For
. $115,000
Two lots, 99 by 105 feet on Main
street, which about thirty years ago
sold for $600 were bought Friday by
Frank Jaggar for $35,000. The prop
erty is at the northeast corner of Sev
enth and Main streets, which is one
of the most desirable locations in the
city. While Mr. Jaggar has not made
a definite decision as to his plans, it
is believed that he will erect a hotel
on the site.
The purchaser recently created a
stir when he deposited a check for
$115,000 in the Bank of Oregon City.
This is the largest check that has evr
been deposited in a local bank, and
Mr. Jaggar is regarded as the Croes
us of Clackamas County. The mon
ey was derived from the sale of a lot
at Washington Street and West .Park,
Portland, which belonged to the Ben
jamin and Louis Jaggaf estates. That
lot sold for $230,000, having been
bought by them during Cleveland's ad
ministration for $30,000. The re
markable enhancement in value of the
Portland property is not any great
er, in proportion to the ' size of the
cities, than that of the lot which Mr.
Jaggar purchased Friday;
The property here, which was sold
by Mrs. Helen Stratton and four heir3,
was held for many years by the late
M. A .Stratton, who was chiefs clerk
in the Oregon City Woolen Mills. Part
of the property originally owned by
Mr. Stratton was sold twenty-five
years ago to the city, for a site for
the city hall. J. W. Cole occupies the
corner building as a saloon, and the
other buildings are occupied as a rea
taurant, fish market, meat market and
pool and billiard hall.

Rev. Mr. Mulkey pronouced the in

at the breaking of ties. Rev. S. P.
Davis on behalf of the deacons spoke
very kindly of Mr. Hayworth and nis
work and expressed a hope-lhat some
time Mr. Hayworth might come back
to the coast. Mrs. Almsted sang a

with exquisite tenderness. Miss An
na Smith, president of the Young Peo
ple's Society of the church, spoke of
the retiring pastor's relation to the
young people and their work. y
Miss Ona Renner sang "Good Bye
Sweet Day."
Rev. George Nelson Edwards of the
Congregational church responded in
part of the sister churches. He said
that long pastorates are the most
fruitful of good and wished that Mi.
Hayworth might have a long stay at
his new call. Mr. Smith, prelate of
Cataract Lodge No. 76, K. of P., pre
sented in a very eloquent address
an emblematic badge as a token of
the lodge's love and esteem for Mr.
Hayworth. .D. C. Latourette on be
half of Mr. Hayworth's friends in the
church presented him with a beauti
ful gold rng. . Mr. Latourette said the
rng represented both God and His
love, "The circle had neither negin
ning nor ending, the gold as the sub
stance most enduring and least tar-
nishable All of the speakers spoke
most kindly of both the pastor and
his splendid co-worker, Mrs. Hay--
worth. .
Mr. Hayworth spoke most tender
ly and feelingly in reply to all the
interests represented. He ' said he
held the church above all other insti
tutions but that did not debar frat
ernal relationship with the noblest
and best of the fraternal organiza
tions which are seeking to uplift hu
manity. Mr. Hayworth will preach Sunday
morning and evening and Monday
he will start for Washington, Ind.,
where he will take up his work.

DR. MOUNT FINDS
FOUNDLING THOUGHT TO HAVE
BEEN LEFT BY PORTLAND
WOMAN
INFANT TAKEN TO ST. AGNES HOME
Clothing Of Best Texture And Par-
ents Evidently Well-to-do No
Clew To Their
Identity
As Dr. H. S. Mount was leaving
his touring car which he had placed
in the .garage at his home at 9 o'clock
Friday night, he heard a faint cry,
as if coming from the rear of the
machine. He looked into the car and
espied a bundle. He opened the bun
dle and there snugly ensconced was
a bright-eyed baby girl, about ten
days old. Dr. Mount is an authority
on babies, but, for the nonce he was
puzzled. Then collecting his wits he
took the infant into the house where
it was given every attention.
Dr. Mount reported the finding of
the baby to Night Policeman Green,
and it was finally decided that the
best thing to do with it was to take
it to a home. So a few minutes later
the physician with the foundling
snugly wrapped up took it in his auto
mobile to St. Agnes' Home at Park
place, where it will be tenderly cared
for by the sisters. '
The baby's clothing was of the be3t
texture and Policeman Gren is of the
opinion that its parents are well-to-do.
There were no marks or letter-,
ing on the clothing to give a clew
to the identity of the infant's par
ents. Policeman Green thinks prob
ably that the baby was left in the
automobile by a woman who came to
the city on the 8:27 o'clock train. He
found tracks made by a woman near
where the automobile stood. Dr.
Mount left the automobile in front of
his .home about 6:30 o'clock. It Is
thought that the woman got off the
rear coach of the train when it 3top- -ped
and going through Ninth street
saw the automobile, nd decided it
would be a good place to leave her
charge.

the present school grounds, in con

acre of land for a site with the ad

district want the building located and
erected in Minthorn, where there is
a considerable settlement. They are
working hard to secure the new build
