P. 0. DEPARTMENT DIRECTS RAID
Doctors and Drug Concerns in Two
States Alleged to" Have Used the :
Mails to Solicit Criminal Med
ical Practice
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. A Nation
wide raid, involving the arrest of 173
persons in the principle cities of the
country, was made today by Postof
fice inspectors and United States Mar-
shals on doctors and drug concerns
charged with misuse of the mails to
solicit criminal medical practice or
to dispose of medicines or instruments
connected with such practice.
The raid- the most extensive and
far-reaching ever made by the Govern
ment was under the personal direc
tion of Postmaster-General Hitchcock
and Chief Inspector Sharp, of the Post
office Department . So carefully had
its details been guarded that until the
first arrests were made at Indianapolis
early in the day, virtually nothing was
known of the Government's contem
plated action.
"Working with clock-like precision,
the inspection force spread over 22
states, carried out the pre-arranged
plans, and tonight the Postoffice De
partment had received word that
nearly all the designated persons had
been arrested.
The results of the crusade are be
ing received tonight by the inspectors'
division of the Postoffice Department
in the form of telegrams from various
division headquarters. In isolated in
stances it was found impracticable, to
effect the arrests but those against
whom warrants have been issued are
under surveillance and probably will
be, unable to escape.

FUND INDEBTEDNESS vOF
CITY
WARRANTf TO BE TAKEN UP SOON
Bonds Would be Taxed as Other Per
' ' sonal Property and Debt Would
Not be Increas
ed OREGON CITY, Nov. 20. (Editor
Morning Enterprise) The following
matters relate to the proposed amend
ment of the city charter providing for
refunding a part of the debt of Ore
gon City: '
Warrants and interest esti-
- mated Aug. 1, 1912... ...f 61,868.68
Warrants drawn since Aug.
1, including November... 20,267.31
Due from General Fund on
streets completed . , 21,000.00
To this will be added tne -amount
which the general
fund must pay toward the
improvement of Monroe,
Jackson, J. Q. Adams and
Sixteenth Streets and
some sewer contracts, es
timated at 33,000.00
With approximately $2,500
per month, estimated gen
eral expenditure making
a total on April 15, 1913,
estimated at
7,500.00
Which will be outstanding
against the General Fund 143,635.99
This includes the permanent
street improvement fund
from which must be de
ducted the income of the
city, including taxes, esti
mated at 37,000.00
Which will leave a balance
outstanding of .-. 106,635.99
To which must be added
outstanding general city
bonds 50,000.00
Making a total of 156,635.99
The interest charges on these sums
would be on the bonds 5 per cent, or
$2,500.00 per year, on the outstanding
warrants 6 per cent or $6398.16.
Twenty thousand dollars of these
bonds become due during the year
1913, and it will be necessary in some
manner to take them up. Under the
present condition of the charter these
bonds can not be refunded neither
can any of the additional outstanding
warrants be refunded by bonds. If
the charter would permit, the out
standing warrants could be refunded
and taken up by bonds at an interest
charge of not more than 5 per cent
and probably not more than 4 1-2 per
cent and the bonds would command
a premium on sale, this would have
the effect of reducing the "interest
charge to Cjegon City about $1500.00
each year and it is imperative that this
should be done for the purpose of al
lowing these bonds to be refunded
when due and also for the purpose of
allowing the outstanding general fund
warrants or at least the greater part
of them to be refunded. Charter
amendment 300 yes, 301 no, entitled
"A Bill for an Act to Amend Para
graph 39 of Section 34 Qf the Charter
of Oregon City, Oregon, and which
provides for bonding the City not to
exceed $100,000 to run not over 20
years, and bear interest not to exceed
5 per cent; to sell at not less than
par; and for the purpose of paying
off city warrants or and bonded in
debtedness. Such bonds to be taxed
as other personal property", is now
being submitted to the legal voters
of Oregon City. This amount will not
have the effect of increasing the debt
of Oregon City at all but will reduce
the interest charge materially and it
is sincerely hoped that the people will
pass this amendment.

that weighed 100 pounds."

Over a thousand members of the
Benevolent and Protective Order ' of -Elks
gathered in Oregon City Wednes
day to attend the ceremonies incident
to laying the cornerstone and dedicat
ing the new building of Oregon City
Lodge No. 1189.
Vancouver, Wash., members came
by rail, with a big crowd, Eugene sent
a large delegation and Albany and
Salem were well represented. Port
land members arrived in special cars
in the evening. They paraded through (
the street headed by their forty piece ...
band, playing for the first time in pub
lic, since the Elksf Reunion in Port
land last July. - The laying of the cor
nerstone 'in the afternoon by the
Grand Lodge officers was attended by
a large crowd, he home and club
rooms were open to the public in the
afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock. From
5:30 to 11 o'clock dinner was served
at the Armory. The large building
was filled from the time it was open
ed until the doors of the Armory were
closed. The most important function,
was that of the dedication ceremon
ies, which were held in the lodge
room. Many were unable to attend as
the lodge room was filled and standing
room was at a premium. Those who
were unable to get into the lodge -rooms,
were not; disappointed as the
Grand Ball-was held in Busch's Hall
from 8 o'lock until after midnight.
The ceremonies of laying the cor
nerstone at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
were very simple but impressive. The
Grand Lodge officers had entire charge
of the program, and. following the rit
ualistic work by the Grand Exalted
Ruler and the Grand Chaplain, the
stone was laid in place to remain as
long as the building shall stand. There
were no souvenirs nor momentos in
the stone. The ceremony was varied
with orchestra music. 1
The ---public was extended the priv
ileges of the entire building and from
2 o'clock until 5 several thousand peo
ple thronged the spacious interior in
admiration of its beautiful furnishings."
As delegation after, delegation ar
rived they were escorted to the Armory
where the committee had a lunch pre
pared. The large room was filled from
5:30 o'clock in the afternoon until
after 11 in the evening.
The spacious lodge room was filled
to overflowing at the dedication cere
monies which were held in the even
ing at 8:30 o'clock. Grand Lodge of
ficers occupied the seats of the. officers
and when Grand Exalted Ruler Thurs
ton Edward Daniels called the meet
ing to order, every seat in the hall
was taken, many were standing, and
again as many were forced to stay In
the anti-rooms. - Grand Lodge officers
conducted the ritualistic ceremonies,
after which the Grand Exalted Ruler
declared the building dedicated.
Henry O'Malley, Exalted Ruler ' of
Oregon City Lodge, made the first ad
dress of the-evening. He called to
the attention of his hearers the his
toric traditions connected with Oregon
City. He told of John Mcbonghlin,
how years ago, he had settled in this
country a trading station, and that he
had to his own detriment welcomed
and assisted imigrants into the new
country. This, he said, was one of
the aims of this lodge. He told of
the institution of the order, that It
was a national one, yet it was one con
fined to the borders of our own great
country. This, he said, gave it a na
tional significance..- He told of the
