"I WAS PREPARED TO GO LIMIT"
Cincinnati Man Declares That His
Idea Was to Preserve Full Free-.
dom for the Pres
ident WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 Charles P.
Taft, of Cincinnati, today told the
Senate committee investigating cam
paign funds that he contributed $159
339 to aid in electing his brother pres
ident in 1908 and that he had paid
$213,592 this year toward the expens
es of securing the president's nomina
tion. Consulting a memorandum book,
in which he had recorded practically
all the items he had ever spent for
campaign purposes, Mr. Taft was on
the point of telling the committee
how much the nomination in 1908
had cost him, when Chairman Clapp
said the committee had no authority
to Investigate the pre-convention
campaign of that year or funds us
ed in the election now in progress.
Mr. Taft said his object in going
into the campaign was to see that if
his brother was elected he should
"walk into the white house free of any
monetary obligation to any individ
ual, great interest or corporation."
"On this basis." he added, "I was
prepared to go the limit. I believed
my brother was admirably equipped
for, the position. I believed in his
integrity, his fearlesness and I be
lieved noone could bulldoze him or
use him. The principle thing to be
obviated was the influence on any
candidate of any: monetary interest.

TURKEY BUYS EIGHT MONOPLANES
Bulgarians Hesitation Believed to be
Ruse to Gaiif Time for Making
War Prepara-
tions
PARIS, Oct. 9. The French for
eign office late tonight was without
a reply from Sofia, Athens, or Bel
grade, and the only suggestion thus
far as to its possible tenor is found
in the remark of the Bulgarian for
eign minister, when the note of the
powers was delivered, that "perhaps
it would have had a better chance of
success if presented a fortnight ear
lier." Bulgaria's hesitation is variously
interpreted. Most of the diplomats
think it is a devise to gain time to
complete war preparations but a
shrewd minority have not given up
hope that Czar Ferdinand, is search
ing for some ground to enable him to
give satisfaction to the powers with
out risking his crown.
A semi-official note reiterates that
the accord of the powers is such that
even if war breaks out it is sure to
be localized.
Airmen belonging to the opposing
armies are likely soon to come into
conflict for the first time in actual
war for all Balkan states as well as
Turkey have several expert airmen.
They also possess considerable aerial
equipment. Turkey recently acquir
ed eight monoplanes in France, two
in Englana and ; two in Germany,
while others have been ordered by
the Ottoman government in England
and Germany. Bulgaria owns one
monoplane and three biplanes and the
War Department in Sofia has just or
dered additional machines from Ger
many. The. Greek War Department posses
ses six French biplanes and one hy
droplane. REPUBLICANS
IG OSWEGO MEETING
George C. Brownell made a stirring
address at the Republican meeting
held in Oswego Wednesday evening.
The speaker urged the election of all
the Republican candidates, declaring
that Republican officials as a .rule,
gave a be,tter account of themselves
than Democrats. He also urged his
hearers to vote for President Taft.
All the candidates for county offices
spoke. An enthusiastic" meeting of
the Republicans was held at the
schoolhouse at Frog Pond Tuesday
evening. All of the meetings are be
ing attended by large crowds and the
Republican candidates say sentiment
is in favor of the entire ticket.
M1LWAUKIE SCHOOL
GROWING RAPIDLY
At the monthly meeting of the Mil
waugie School Board 'Principal Goetz
reported an average attendance of
of 264 pupils in all departments. This
is an increase over the first day's at
tendance, which was 248. It is ex
pected the enrollment will be 300 by
the first of the year.
A gratifying report was made by
the principal of the high school. He
said that there is a larger class than
ever before in this department, and
a still further increase is expected. It
is expected that next year a separate
high school may be established, as a
sufficient number of students are
looked for from Milwaukie and the
surrounding districts.

CORNERSTONE FOR
Y TEMPLE LAID
Canby Lodge No. 156, A. F. and A.
M., laid the cornerstone of their new
temple Sunday with impresive cere
mony. George H. Burnett, W. M., of
Oregon, officiated, assisted by the en
tire membership of the Canby lodge
and many visiting members of the
order.
The Canby lodge was instituted un
der a dispensation of the grand lodge
on April 15, 1908, with a charter mem
bership of 12, and since its inception
has shown remarkable growth both
in membership and power in the com
munity. Today, with a' total mem
bership of but 32, it is erecting this
handsome concrete home at a cost of
$12,500, and it will have one of the
most complete buildings of its kind
in the state. It numbers among its
members the most influential men in
the community, and is amply able to
assume the indebtedness necessary
to construct the new temple.
Mayor Henry A. De'dman, treasurer
of the lodge, gave a historical read
ing on the early days of Canby, fol
lowed by Leroy D. W'alker, cashier
of the Canby Bank & Trust Company
and chief factor in financing the new
building, who gave the history of the
lodge from its inception. Wayne L.
Wills, of Portland, architect of the
temple, aptly compared the Masonic
lodge to a well constructed building,
.each of its component parts depend
ent upon and yet of great help to the
others.
The new building will be 50x100
feet, of two stories, constructed of
reinforced concrete, the lower floof
given over to stores and the"; upper
floor used for lodge purposes with the
exception of a few office rooms in the
front part of the,' building.

SHIELDS CHALLENGES
U'REN TO DEBATE
PORTLAND, Oct. 9., (Special) In
a statement he sent all over the state
W. S. U'Ren, Fels-paid Single Tax
worker, charged that Charles H.
Shields was afraid to meet him in
debate. It is now three days since
Mr. Shields who is secretary of the
Oregon Equal Taxation League, chal
lenged not only U'Ren, but every Sin
gle Taxer in Oregon to meet him at
any time during the last two weeks
of the campaign.
Neither U'Ren, Cridge, Benbough,
Coulton, McAllister, Orton or any
of the other numerous Fels-Workers
have replied to this challenge. The
challenge covers every single taxer
in, Oregon and is addressed to any or
all single taxers anywhere. Mr.
Shields wants to meet three of. four
of them at a time lut they are
strangely silent. There are no strings
to the challenge.
"The next time I am accused of
cowardice, "said Secretary Shields to
day, "I want everyone to know that
I neither U'Ren nor anyone of his
) friends has the manhood to take up
j a straight from the shoulder chal
! lenge. "Is it not obvious that Single
j Tax is a trick vhen these people fail
! absolutely to back up their state
i ments in debate."
FOOTBALL TEAM TO
PLAT PORTLAND MEN
The Oregon City football team will
meet the fast Columbia Park Athele
tic Club team of Portland on Cane
mah Park grounds next Sunday for
the initial game of 'the season.
Local football fans will await with
interest the opening of the season
and will not be disappointed with the
local team . The best players of
last year's championship eleven will
be back in harness and will be greatly
strengthened by the addition of new
material. It is expected that the
work of Kelley, formerly of Lincoln
High, will dazzle fans at full along
with "Auk" Smith and Carothers
playing left and right half respect
tively will make a combination of
speed hard to beat.
Long, who played full last year,
will handle an end this season, and
although not an extra fast man, his
reliability in handling forward passes
and clean, hard tackling will offset
his one minor defect. The old stand
by, Montgomery, will play center and
be team captain. "Monty" was con
sidered the greatest center among
amateur teams last year.
The line will be much stronger this
year and will also be heavier than
that of last season. Althogether

BOSTON, Mass., uct. 8. With the
score 6 to 6 in the eleventh inning,
it was decided to call the Boston-New
York game for the world's champion
ship on account of darkness.
Bo -ton tied up the score in the
tenth inning on Speaker's three bag
ger to center and Wilson's error of
Shafer's relay from Becker.
It; was one of the greatest games
in the history of world series base
ball. The hitting of Stahl in the first
inning put Boston up to a three run
lead, but the heavy sluggers of the
Giants Herzog in the second and
Murray in the fourth, put New York
in a way to assume the lead later
in the game. Collins had been pitch
ing good ball until the eighth, when
Lewis' error, a single to Doyle and
Murray's two bagger chased him to
the bench. Hall relieved, and Herzog
smacked him for a double that
brought the runs for the inning up to
three, and gave New York a one run
lead, Boston having made its fourth
run on Hooper's single and Yerkes'
triple in' the fifth.
Boston tied up the score in the
eighth on Lewis' hit into center field
and Gardner's single. In the tenth
Merkle tripled and scored on a sac
rifice fly by -McCormick, pinch hitting
for Fletcher.
Boston tied it again in the same in
ning, when Speaker tripled to center
and scored? on Wilson's error. The
error would have made no difference
in the tally because Lewis followed
with a double.
Bedient relieved Hall in the elev
enth inning and held New York safe.
Matthewson Put out in one, two, three
order in the second half of the elev
enth. As the Giants appeared on the field
at 1:15 o'clock this afternoon the
eyes of the Boston fans were fasten
ed on Christy Matthewson. For New
York it was "Matthewson or good
night " The old war horse came on
the field with head up and with an

Q0vernor's pan to Purify Portland
j App;ovedi But Many Members
i Do Not Think His Meth- .,
I ' ods Best
Pomona Grange, at a meeting in
Molalla Wednesday, approved the ef
forts of Governor West in trying to
purify Portland, but the methods em
ployed by him were not satisfactory
to many of the members. It was
suggested that he might have obtain
ed better results by employing other
means. The high school fund law,
which will be voted upon in this
county at. the coming election, was
approved, the following resolution be
in adopted by a unanimous vote: .
"Whereas, the Pomona) Grange of
Clackamag County stands for all
things that tend toward the better
ment of country life and the educa
tion) of the children of the country
equally with those of the city, and
"Whereas, believing that the adop
tion of the high school fund law by
the voters of Clackamas county would
be of great benefit to the whole coun
ty, but more especially to the rural
communities, therefore:
"Be it resolved, that the Clacka
mas County Pomona Grange at Mola
la assembled does hereby heartily in
dorse the measure and recommends
to all subordinate granges that they
aid in securing its passage at the
next general election."
The law was passed at the last ses
sion of the legislature, but before it
ca nbeccme operative each county
must vote favorably upon it. Several
counties have done so. It provides
for levying taxes on all property for
high school purposes. Any district
that can maintain a high school, un
der the law, may draw upon the coun
ty fund for $40 annually for each pu
pil up to twenty. The election of of
ficers resulted as follows:
