SPECIAL LEVY TAX

. PORATED
NO CHARTER ADOPTED, HE DECLARES
Lumber Company's Check for Taxes
On Timber Land Is Declined Be
cause Special Road .Levy Is
Ignored
, The legality of the incorporation
of Willamette is questioned in a suit
filed Thursday by James Downey, ex
mayor of the town, against E. T.
Mass, sheriff, to restrain the collec
tion of a 10-mill special tax, which
the council levied for general muni
cipal purposes. After having been
conducted as a city for about two
years. Circuit Judge Campbell about
a year ago, decided that thelaceha.i
not been legally incorporated. At an
l other election it was decided to re
incorporate, and this action is ques
tioned in the suit filed Thursday.
The complaint alleges that the city
has failed to adopt a charter, and the
state laws do not give any municipal
ity authority to levy a tax unless by
virtue of power granted by the city
charter. It is contended that inas
much as' the place has failed to adopt
a charter, the council is powerless to
make a levy. Dimick & Dimick, rep
resenting the plaintiff, called atten
tion in the complaint to the repeal of
sections 2709 and 2710 of Bellinger
and Cotton's Code which gave incor
porated towns authority to make lev
ies for municipal purposes. The sec
tions were repealed in 1907. -
Declaring that the Supreme Court
has' decided that special road taxes
are illegal, The Hammond: Lumber
Company Thursday tendered a check
to Sheriff Mass for 213 taxes. The spec
ial road tax in district No. 49 of 10
mills was not included and the sher
iff declined to accept the check for
other taxes. The Oregon Iron &
Steel Company, which has a large
plant at Oswego, sent the sheriff a
check for $7,000 . and the . Wil
lamette Pulp & Paper Company paid
$14,411.23 taxes. Saturday is the last
day a rebate will be allowed.

ON MILWAUKEE TAVERN
SALEM, Or., March 13. "Go out
to the Milwaukie roadhouse and sit
around every evening from 7 o'clock I
to closing time, and keep your eyes j
open." j
That is the instruction Governor
West gave" today to Detective Tom
Kay of Portland. The Governor ap-l
pointed Kay as special agent. I
This action was taken . because of
the peculiar location of the Milwau
kie roadhouse. It is just over the
line from Multnomah County in Clack
amas County, and is within the cor
porate limits of the town of Milwau
kie. Governor West said Sheriff Tom
Word had closed all the roadhouses
in Multnomah, and now those from
Portland out for a good time were
going to the Milwaukie tavern. The
new law prohibiting the sale of liquor
outside of incorporated towns will
not apply to it, so the Governor is put
ting an officer there to see that it
confines its operations to those of a
legitimate saloon. v

Holding of Sunday School Convention

dance Larger Than
Heretofore
At a recent meeting of a commit
tee composed of T. W. Sullivan, B.
T. McBain, M. D. Latourette, T. L. 1
Charman and L. Adams, H was defi-1
nitely decided to hold the Clackamas
County Dairy and- Stock Fair and
Booster Day celebration April 25 and.
26. The -meeting this year will be
greater than . any that has preceded
it and already elaborate preparations
are being made. There will be two
parades during the celebration, one
Friday and the other Saturday. Both
of the parades will start at 11 in the
morning. ' These will consist of
horses, cattle, swine, sheep, decora
tive and unique floats and drills by
fraternal orders. It is probable that
there will be an automobile parade.
A feature that will be introduced
this year will be a milk contest which
will probably be Friday evening and
Saturday .morning. Much interest is
already being taken in the contest.
All owners of horses and cattle who
wish to enter their animals are re
quested to send for entry blanks,
which may be obtained from O. E.
Freytag, at Oregon City. This is nec
essary to determine the amount of
space that will be required. No fees
will be charged.
The State Sunday School Conven
tion, which will be held in this city
on the "same datts as the fair, will
not interfere with the fair nor will
the fair interfere with it. In fact, it
is believed, they will be an aid to
each other. Many farmers will come
to the city to attend both.
All inquiries" concerning the fair
and Booster' Day should be addressed
to O. E. Freytag, Manager of the Pub
licity Department of the Commercial
Club, Oregon City.

Official One of Best Known Men in
State, Having Come Here When
Boy He and Homer Daven
Port Friends
W. W. H. Samson, justice of the .
peace, ex-sheriff, and one of the best
known men in Clackamas County,
died at his home 816 Main Street, at
11:45 o'clock Thursday night after a
lingering illness! Mr Samson was par
tially paralyzed the latter part of Au
gust, but after receiving treatment
for several days, was able to return
to his work. He, however, did not
have a complete recovery and his
i friends were alarmed over his condi
i tion. He complained late Monday af
! ternoon of severe pains in his heart
: and went home a little earlier than
usual. Dr. H. S. Mount was summon
! ed and announced that his patient
' was in a critical condition.
j Mr. Samson, however, rallied and
! early Thursday morning said that he
' would be at his office as usual in a '
s fewdays. His condition apparently
; improved all day and in the after-.
noon he walked about his home,
j About 8 o'clock there was a turn .for
' the worse, and Dr. Mount declared
that the end was near. Death came
peacefully with Mrs. Samson and
other members of the family at the
bedside.
I . Probably more marriages have been
' solemnized in the house in which Mr.
Samson died than any other house in
the state. Long before he became jus-.
, tice of the peace Mr. Samson opened
! his home to couples desiring to be
married and wishing to escape the
notoriety of going through the cere-'
mony in a public place. After he be
came justice of the peace all couples
applying to him to perform marriage
ceremonies were asked if they pre
ferred going to his home or having.
the ceremonies performed in his office.
He said just before he was stricken
that about 130 couples had been mar
ried in the house. The old home also
has another distinction. In it lived

they were stationed here before the
