S WEEKLY'ENTERPRISE ESTABLISHED 1366 VOL. Ill No. 110. OREGON CITY, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1912. Per Week, 10 Cents HOME RULE BILL CONTEST OFFERS REACHING FOR HIS PREY. PAPER WORKERS TO OBSERVE 4TH VETERANS OF WAR TO VISIT SCHOOLS LIFETIME CHANCE HAS BIG MAJORITY LARGE GAIN ON SECOND. READ ING IS CAUSE OF GREAT RE JOICING PRIME MINISTER GIVEN OVATION Liberal-Unionists, And Conservatives Agree On Fusion Of Partii Opposition Is Still Bitter CANDIDATES BY WORKING HARD MAY MAKE WEEKLY SALARY OF $250 1 LONDON, May 9. The Government carried the home rule bill on its sec ond reading in the House of Commons tonight by a majority of 101, as against 94 for the first reading. The vote was 372 to 271. It wias the most largely attended house of the present parliament. Both sides had done their utmost to se cure every available vote. Mr. Bal four, former opposition leader, and Mr. Churchill, first Lord of the Ad miralty, returned from Weymouth to be present. The announcement of the figures showing an increased majority oc casioned enthusiastic demonstrations on the government side and the Prime Minister received a great ovation on leaving the house with his wife and daughter, from the crowd that as sembled outside. The bill was referred to a commit tee of the whole House, but as home rule and Welsh disesteablishment are being taken concurrently, it will now be the turn of the Welsh bill. The committee stage of the home rule bill is not expected to be reached until Whitsuntide, and probably will oc cupy a couple of months, even with liberal application of the closure rules as the opposition is preparing an end less list of amendments and will adopt every possible means to obscure the measure. Curiously, the second reading of the home rule bill coincides with the dis appearance of the word conservative as the official designation of the Tory party. A conference of the Liberal ITnionists and Conservatives today finally resolved on a fusion of the two parties under the title of "National Unionists Association." Thus the Liberal-Unionists who seceded from Gladstone on his 'espousal of home rule now become part and parcel of the Tory party.

Mr. Metzgerj after a trip between this city and Portland, de clared that the roads in Multnomah County were in perfect condition, hav ing been oiled recently, but in Clack amas County the River Road was dus ty.. He said he realized that this county, being a much larger county than Mutnomah, which has a much greater income, could not oil the roads, and for that reason he wished to be the first to contribute to a fund to oil the road between this city and Multnomah County. He intended no reflection upon the roads of this coun ty, which are regarded as unusually good. There is no doubt that other rich automobilists will subscribe to the fund and at least one road be tween Oregon City and Portland will be oiled this summer.
