From the Bulgarian side there has

a sacred program prepared. Ar
rangements have been made to
seat comfortably a large crowd as the
public are invited on this day. The

The news received here today of
the surrender of two divisions of
Turkish reserves to the Bulgarians in
the neighborhood of Demotia, after
severe fighting, shows there are still
large isolated bodies of Turkish
troops unaccounted for which must be
considered in arranging an armistice.
The allies are said to have a large num

the Greek transports from the Gulf
of Saloniki, either to the Gallipoli
Peninsula or to join the allies' army
at Tchatalja.
AUTOMOBILE CONTEST
ECOMES INTERESTING
With 28,000 ahead of his nearest op
pOntent, No. 8 has taken a flying start
in the big Automobile Contest just
inaugurated by the leading merchants
of Oregon City and the Enterprise.
The votes were counted for the first
time Wednesday night and the num
ber deposited was much more than
anticipated so early in the game. Ov
er thirty candidates have signified
their intention of entering the race
to win the $1800 touring car now on
display in Huntley Bros. Co. window.
Half the entrants did not deposit any
votes, evidently holding them back
for future use. But as all the votes
must be deposited before December
19th, the count each Wednesday from
now on will show a natural increase.
From the very start it is apparent
that this contest, which closes May
1, 1913,- is arousing an interest which
will far eclipse any similar contest
ever pulled off in Clackamas County
As Huntley Bros. Co., V. Harris, J.
X.evitt, give votes with every purchasa
the Star Theater with every admis
sion to their cozy play house, and the
Enterprise free votes with every sub
scription to the Weekly or Daily, it
is an easy matter for any candidate
to enlist the help of his friends in
gathering the couponB.
The contest is open to any person
living in Clackamas County and you
are invited to become a contestant
for the big Howard. All you will
have to do is to sign the nomination
blank, mail it to the Contest Mana
ger, care of Huntley Bros. Co., and
he will assign you a number. All
votes sire registered by number and
there is no publiity whatever connect
ed with the contest. You have the
same chance as your neighbor and it
is simply up to "you to say if you
want the car or not. Every entrant
will be treated exactly alike and you
can win - if you will work hard to get
the most votes. Special prizes will
be awarded from time to time and
for further particulars about these
prizes read the Enterprise every
morning.
Votes will be counted each Wednes
day and the latest standing of con
testants printed in the Thursday
morning Enterprise and the Weekly
Enterprise. Votes can be mailed to
" the Contest Manager, or deposited in
the ballot box at Huntley Bros. Store.
Te deposit votes, put in envelope,
eeal, and write your number, or your
candidate's number on the envelope,
with the number of voes enclosed.
Blue votes must be deposited before

charter, which are on the ballot to be
voted upon next Monday.
Mrs. J. V. Norris said that she
would not vote for any woman in
Oregon City for the office of mayor.
The rtomen were not well enough ac
quainted with politics, she said, to
iead the council. She lauded Linu
E. Jones, candidate for mayor, and
-1 said that he a clean, straighforward
business man, and would make a good
mayor, she jthought. The other wom
en expressed themselves as being in
favor of a man candidate for mayor
at this time.
Mr. Tooze explained to the women
tii.e bond issue that was before tne
voters of Oregon City. The money
is necessary, he said, to pay the in
terest and take in the bond3 as they
become' Au.e. It would not place the
city in deeper debt he said, bu1J
would relieve the taxpayers to a great
extent.
He also told of the street improving,
tliat had been done ;n Oregon City
for the past year. He said that it was
for the future good of the city, and
was a good investment for the prop
erty owner. It also raises the value
of the property and brings in more
taxes, by which the city is supported.
Mr. Tooze spoke in favor of the
elevator, saying that personally he
did not have use for it always, as he
lived north of the steps and could
go to the center of the city by an
other route, he felt that the elevator
was for the good of the city, and for
that reason was in favor of it. Under
.U.3, prdivisipns of the amendment, ho
said the elevator would be free
to the people and would add to the
value of the property which is situat
ed on the hill.
Mr. Tooze was pleased in the in
terest the women are showing in civ
ic affairs and said that the women are
determined to find out the exact need
and condition of Oregon City and to
act with intelligence and efficiency in
the interest of the whole city.

be impossible to save the man's life.
He died soon after being taken to the
Oregon City Hospital.
Swanson has been despondent for
several weeks, but worked daily at
his shop at Seventh .nd High Streets.
He left the following letter:
"My head has not been right for
sometime. Too much whiskey. Good
bye, I have done this myself."
Swanson was fifty-four years of
age and is. survived by two sons, liv
ing in Portland, Carl, eighteen years
of age and Emil, twenty years of age.
Coroner ilson decided that an in
quest was not necessary. '
M- H. Long, who was driving by
the house in an automobile when Mrs.
Swanson discovered her husband's
condition, was called, in and notified
Chief of Police Shaw and summoned
the physicians. Edward Busch took
the chief and one of the physicians
to the house in his automobile, and
it was at once decided to remove the
wounded man to the hospital.
