Physicians Say It Will Be Four or

v Easily
CHICAGO, Oct. 16. After a day of
ceaseless vigil, Colonel Roosevelt's
physicians tonight could say no more
than that his condition was virtually
unchanged. Indications, they said,
favored the speedy recovery of the
ex-president from the effects of the
bullet which struck him. down in Mil
waukee Monday night.
A rise in temperature and pulse
late in the) day, however, made his
condition for the time being some
what less favorable.
, The fact that a rib was fractured,
which was not disclosed until t6day,
added to the feeling of uncertainty.
Not before Friday, ii all goes well,
will the physicians be prepared to
say -that their patient is out of dan
ger. The intervening period will be
required to determine whether blood
poisoning or other complications are
to be feared.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., after a
talk j with his father and a consulta
tion with the attending surgeons, ex
pressed the feelings of those about
the ex-president.
"It will be four or five days," he
,sald "before father can breathe eas
ily." Colonel Roosevlt spent a quiet and
apparently care-free day, seemingly
the lest concerned of all. He was
buoyed up by the cheerful apperance
of Mrs. Roosevelt who arrived early
in the day from; New York and re
mained with him constantly. He felt
no pain, he said, and moved about at
will) on his bed reading, dictating
telegrams or talking with members
of. his family. In the afternoon he
slept for a time.

tenth round, Fred Snodgrass today
cost New York the championship of

fought their way across by the mar
gin of a run, where, with good sup
port, Mathewson would have drawn
a shutout. It was a heartbreaking

through the game, through uncertain
support as only a marvel of heart,
brain and arm could have stood.

George A. Harding learned Wednes- j
day that sacks of cement on a' South-1
era Pacific train, which broks down '
the fence to his rear yard were con-:
signed to his son, Carlton B. Harding,
resident engineer of the Oregon Elec
tric Company at Eugene. The bags
of cement protruded from the car
raking down several yards of fence.
Mr. Harding made complaint to the
railroad company, and, after an in
vestigation, the company decided to
erect another fence. It was not known
at that time, however, to whom the
cement was consigned. The shipment
.was delayed a day or two by the ac
cident, and meanwhile, Carlton B.
Harding, who; was superintending a
big piece of railway work was anx
iously waiting iar the cement. Upon
communicating with, hi: parents he
was intormea or the tence having
been razed, and of the cement having
been scattered in the yard. '
"Why that was my cement," said
Mr. Harding. "That's the cement I
have been waiting for. I noticed
when it arrived that there was a
shortage. However. I guess I won't
charge my father and'mother for that
which was spilled in their yard."-

DENOMINATION IS WARNED Of CRISIS
Dr. Woody Declares That the Church
Must Preserve Its Independence.
Fine Program Today
' "The Baptist denomination is in
one of the greatest crises of its his
tory." said Dr. C. A. Woody, of Port
land, who spoke at the state Baptist
convention, being) held in this city,
Wednesday afternoon. "There is a
movement on unknown to many, but
none the less real which is, in a
measure changing our character.
The problem of this crisis is this: To
preserve our independence and safe
guard the freedom of the local church
while at the tame time so unifying
our forces as to properly increase
our efficiency. We need liberty and
coherence." The speaker's subject
was, "Affiliation with Northern Bap
tist Convention."
The principal address of the morn
ing was made by Dr. F. P. Haggard
ot Boston, field secretary of the
American Baptist Mission Soci-ty.
On this trip to the: west, however,
he represents in addition the Amer
ican Baptist Home -Mission Society,
the Publication Society. He spoke
on "The local church in the three
million dollar campaign of the Nor
thern Baptist convention." There is
a national movement on hand to
raise the contribution to missions to
$3,000,000 within three years. When
Dr. Haggard finished his conference
the delegates present resolved to see
that Oregon did her part in this for
ward advance. The morning session
closed with a Bible reading by Dr.
W. B. Hinson of Portland.
Luncheon was served to the dele
gates by the women of the Methodist
church.

R. R. FRANCHISE
BEFORE COUNCIL
RIGHT TO OPERATE FREIGHT
CARS TO BE DISCUSSED AT
PUBLIC" MEETING
TELEPHONE COMPANY IS ATTACKED
Charge Is Made That Poles are Be
ing Erected Without Permission
Having Been Obtained
Residents of Oregon City are urg
ed by the members of the City Coun
cil to be present at a special meeting
to bei held Friday evening, October
25, to discuss the proposed franchise
to be given the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company to operate
freight cars through Oregon City.
The present franchise expires Novem
ber 10, and the company has urged
the council to act upon the matter at
once. Councilmen Tooze, Albright,
Beard, Holman and Horton who were
present at a special meeting Wednes
day evening, said that before acting
upon this franchise it should be dis-
cussed thoroughly and that the res
idents of the city should have some
voice in the matter.
The council, upon a motion made
by Councilman Tooze, authorized the
City Attorney to prosecute the Pa
cific States Telephone & Telegraph
Company for alleged violation of an
ordinance. The company is accused
of erecting several telephone poles
without first receiving permission to
do so from the council or the street
committee. Mr. Tooze explained that
this had been the custom of various
companies and while -the council did
not wish, to make it unpleasant for
public companies it was necessary
that they observe the ordinance. He
was upheld by other members of the
council and Mayor Dlmlck.
An ordinance which will cause the
removal of all unnecessary, poles on
Main street from Moss to the Aber
nathy bridge was read and passed-
Protests against the appraisements
made on Monroe street were heard
and a special committee will inves
tigate the appraisements. The coun
cil chamber was crowded with resi
dents who own property on Monroe
street and it was declared that in
many ca?es the appraisements have
been too high.
If it happened It Is !n the Enterprise.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
HAVE MEETING AT NEEDY
A rally was conducted by the Dem
ocratic candidates for county offices
at , Needy - Wednesday evening. The
attendance was satisfactory, and the
speakers were given strict attention
by the aHdienee. Those ' who spoke
were Gilbert L. Hedges, candidate for
di-trict;; attorney; E.. T."Mass, candi
date for sheriff; J. E. Jack, candidate
for ascesfaTTr;", M. E. Gaffney, candi
date for recorder; George M. Hively,
candidate for county commissioner,
and P. S. Noyer,. candidate for repre
sentative in the legislature. ;
T. C. Thomas of Mount 'Pleasant,
has demonstrated that there is a big
demand, a a good price, for good
apples grown in Oregon outside of
Hood River, despite an alleged preju
dice against tuem by many of the
Oregon dealers. . Mr. Thomas and his
son several days ago took twenty-five
boxes of excellent Gravenstein apples
to the Portland market. The son
showed them to the manager of a
commission house and asked what he
would pay for them. Sixty cents a '
box was the offer, which was declin
ed. . The elder Mr. Thomas, who hai
not accompanied his son to the com
mission house, later went there, and
representing himself as a grocer,
asked the price of Gravenstein ap
ples. -He was informed that he would
have to pay $1.25 a box. He then took
his apples to the Portland hotel and
was given $1.25 for them and inform
ed that the hotel would purchase all
he had. The. Oregon City Commercial
Club is interested in the transaction,
and its members declare that grow
ers of this county by following the
example set by Mr. Thomas could get
the highest price for their best fruit.
Only Two Weeks More
In which to buy beautiful Gladstone lots at the present prices and
special terms. Many people have taken advantage of our most
generous offer -to allow then four, five or six years in which to pay
for their selection, and have chosen some of the most ideal home
sites in Gladstone.
By this means the man of moderate means can pay for his home
without "pinching" and by the time his payments are all made, his
lots in Gladstone will be worth AT LEAST TWICE WHAT HE
PAID OR THEM.
Possession is given the purchaser on the first payment that he may
build at once or hold the lots and in the meantime use them for
gardening.
We have looked after the convenience of the purchaser in every
detail. Our contract says that if he gets sick, he can forget his
payments for a period of three months, and we'll forget them, too.
If the buyer dies before his lots are paid for, his heirs can rescind
the contract if they desire; and we agree to repay every cent of
both principal and interest paid us.
People have appreciated the genuine worth of this proposition, and
during the next two weeks we are going to sell many more of these
beautiful homesites. The prices run from $200 to $400.
We needn't tell you about Gladstone, It's the finest, most modern
little suburban town in the state and everybody knows it. -
We want to take you all over these lots during the next two weeks.
Our property is the very heart of Gladstone, and after we are ,
through showing you around you will want a home in Gladstone,
and want it badly.
Looking at it from every possible angle considering location, con
veniences, car service, excellent water system, church and school,
street improvements, and everything that points toward Progress
can you beat Gladstone any where?
