PHILADELPHIA, April 5. Rolling
stock for the transportation of 10000
troops from Fort Mott, New Jersey,
and Fort Dupont, Delaware, to some
unnamed point in Texas is being held
in the yards of the Pennsylvania Rail
road in this city. . This action by the
officials of the road in under direct
orders from the War Deparment at
Washington, received here this morn
ing. The existence of such an order,, tho
preparedness of the railroad company
and the fact that there are not more
than 500 troops at the two posts named
and that they are the Coast Artillery
arm of the service, shows conclusive
ly that the War Department is "pre
paring to meet any emergency.
To make up the necessary quota it
will be necessary to draw on other
nearby posts for men.
The order of the Pennsylvania rail
road covers standard coaches, sleep
ing cars and box and flatcars, as well
as cars for horses. The boxcars will
be used for transportation of artillery,
amunition, tentage, harness, quarter
master and commissary stores as well
as field equipment, such as ovens, cook
ing utensils, etc.

drew big buncne3 oi suDsenpuuus
from the different contestants whose
aim in life these days and the days
to come till June 5th, is to win the
big black Enterprise touring car. One
thousand or even five hundred extra
votes are a welcome addition to the to
tal of anyone in the race and it is
expected that many more club sub
scriptions will be turned in before this
special offer is called off tonight.
Today also offers the last oportun

Each entrant is working his or her

being worked out in preparation. The
endless chain letter method of enlist

prove a subscription getter as well

which might obtain a subscription or

entrant out for the auto is working
harder to get subscriptions tnan tne
average candidate works in securing

But while "plans,''' "schemes," "friends

WATERS ARE ABATING;
FAMILY OE FIVE DROWN
CAIRO, 111., April 5. William Lynch
his wife and three children were
drowned in a flood near Birds Point,
Mo., today, according to reports re
ceived here. The farmhouse in which
they lived was "surrounded by water
J. S. Carey and Henry Baker, farm
ers, also are reported drowned.
Great apprehension and excitement
prevailed her for a time today, the
rapid rise of water on Tenth street
leading to a report that the Missis
sippi levee had given way. After pre
paration had been completed to com
bat a serious flood, officials -discovered
that the. water rushing intb the city
was the overflow from the discharge
race of a drain pump.
The race becoming clogged resulted
in great volumes of water flowing back
into Cairo instead of being emptied
into an open river beyond the city.
Cairo authorities at noon today is
sued a statement in which they ex
pressed the belief that the worst of
the flood had passed.
The drainage district north of here
is desolated, with lumber, barns and
houses floating about in the flood. None
of the five railroads entering Cairo
has been able to resume .operations.
Of these the Illinois Central was the
last to suspend, abandoning The line
when 3000 feet of track was washed
out early today. ,

J. K. Pardee, who insists that he is
treasurer of Gladstone, said Friday
that he had no intention of resign
ing. A resolution was adopted at the
meeting of the Gladstone Commercial
Club Thursday night asking Mr. Par
dee to resign. When asked about the
J resolution he produced a written in
vitation to attend the meeting or tne
club and said:
"I was invited to attend the ban
quet, and they handed me this lemon.
I do not intend to resign -for I am
the only treasurer of the city. Mr. Pad
dock has not qualified and has an
nounced that he does not want the
office. The mayor increased- the
amount of bond of the city treasurer
from $100 to $3,000 and when I offer
ed my new bond signed by Richard
Fteytag, H. C. Wegner, James Tracy
and George H. Webster, he refused
to accept it, and wrote, on the back
that I was not the city treasurer."
County Treasurer Tufts announced

T URGED TO
AID ARMORY FUND
APPROPRIATION OF $10,000 BY
COUNTY WILL INSURE HOME
FOR COMPANY
STATE WILL PROVIDE $15,000 MORE
Oregon City Expected To Take Rank
With Salem, Albany, Dallas and
Woodburn, Which Have
New Armories
The County Court Friday took und
er consideration the question of mak
ing an appropriation to defray a por
tion of the cost of erecting a State
Armory in Oregon City and promised
to make public its attitude at aa early
date. Application has been made to
the Court for the appropriation of $10,
000, the city having already practically
agreed to provide a site, which will
have a valuation of not less than $5,
000. Should the County Court finally
agree to make a levy foi the purpose
of raising the fund petitioned for, the.
State will then provide a sum equal
j to that furnished by the City and Coun
ty, which, in this instance would be
$15,000, and an Armory bmiing cost
ing $25,000 would then be erected and
maintained by the State, without fur
ther cost to Clackamas County.
For many years the County Court
has given $25 monthly for the rent
of a building that has been and is still
being used for an armoy, though en
tirely inadequate for that purpose.
This annual appropriation of $300
would -be entirely wiped out through
a lump appropriation for a new Arm
ory and the County would be money
ahead eventually.
While the Court did not indicate
what its attitude would be, the men
who are most vitally interested be
lieve Judge Beatie and Commissioners
Mattoou and Blair will look with favor
upon the propostition. Salem, Albany,
Dallas, Ashland, Woodburn and sever
al other cities of Oregon have recent-
j ly acquired new Armories through the
: aid of the State, and it has always
I been argued, and with reason, that
I as these Armories are used for civic
j as well as military purposes, and the
I towns mentioned have places for pub
lic meetings of all kinds, the Invest
ment of Clackamas County would he
justified.
Colonel James Jackson, inspector
general, and W. E. Finzer .adjutant
general of the Oregon National Guard;
T. W. Sullivan, William Beard, George
C. Brownell, J. E. Hedges, J. W. Mof
fatt and B. T. McBain talked before
the Court, and all of them urged a
liberal appropriation. The matter was
argued from every conceivable stand
point. Mr. Sullivan said the appro
priation would necessitate a levy of
only two-fifths mills. Probably one
fifth of the total taxable property in
the county was represented at the
hearing, where not a voice wa3 raised
in opposition to the appropriation. The
meeting was arranged by Dr. L. L.
Pickens, chairman of the new Arm
ory committee of the Live Wires of
the Commercial Club.
IS MADE
PAYING WARRANTS
County Treasurer Tufts announced
Friday that the county only owed on
outstanding interest bearing warrants
$41,920.42, and that the county was
only four months and twenty days be-'
hind on the payment of outstanding
warrants. This is a record that has
not been equaled for years. At this
time last year the county was ' in ar
rears seven months. Mr. Tufts says
the prompt payment of taxes and the
increase in the levy is responsible for
the fine showing...
