OREGON CITY WOOLEN MILL
It is doubtful if there are two better
lawyers in Oregon than J. E. Hedges
and O. D. Eby of this city. It is
generally conceded that they know as
much about the law as Mfr. Blackstone
himself and then a little more, for
Mr. Blackstone knew nothing of the
initiative, referendum, recall, etc., and
Messrs. Hedges and Eby know a lot
about them. However, these attorneys
at law were somewuat humbled at
a meeting of the city council Wednes
day evening. Eaqh rep-resented a
saloonman, who" was accused of violat
ing the law, and although each made
eloquent pleas for his clients, both
saloon men wsre denied a 'renewal of
their licenses. Another saloonman,
who had been fined for an offense
identical with that of the other two,
was not represented by counsel. His
license was renewed.

The county court Friday returned
bids for the building of a bridge on!

the contractors. Bids were asked for i

ion. The action of the court was due
to an objection that a legal notice '
calling attention to plans and speci
fications had not been published as
early as required by law. The plans
and specifications will be on file at
the courthousB before the next term
of court. A legal notice to this ef

Clark had a narrow escape from death
Friday night on the Logan road when
an automobile in which they were
riding plunged over an embankment
25 feet high. The men were "caught
under the machine, which turned over,
but not a one of them was hurt. Dr.
C. A. Stuart, owner of the automobile,
and J. E. Mumpower, accompanied the
other men early in the afternoon on
a fishing trip. After fishing several
hours in the Clackmas River near the
Clackmas Tavern Clayton, Harring
and Clark decided to take a ride in
the automobile, Dr. Stuart and Mr.
Mumpower announcing that they
would continue fishing.
The automobile had gone only a
short distance when the stearing gear
got out of order and Clark, who was
driving the car. realized he was in a
predicament. He tried to guide the
machine to the right side of the road,
but without success ,and in an in
creditable short time the machine and
its occupants plunged over the em
bankment. Dr. Strart and Mr. Mum
power wers notified of the accident
and hurried tn ifco assistance of their
companions. Tbey wre amazed when
t'ley found thn machine badly wrecked
in a ditch at t'e side of the road and
three men trying to turn it over.
"The men were caught under the
car," said Dr. Stuart, "and I cannot

WASHINGTON, April 4. The Dem
ocratic tariff revision )bill was com
pleted tonight, with the exception of
a final decision upon the sugar tariff.
From beginning to end it is a meas
ure modeled in accord with the ideas
of President Wilson, with wool,
meats and many ocner ioodstuffs and
clothing materials on the free list,
and with the tariff on chemicals,
steel and other commercial products
cut far below the present protective
rates. '
The Senate tariff leaders asked to
day for an opportunity to study the
bill until Sunday afternoon. They
then will confer with Chairman Un
derwood, of the House Committee on
ways and means, and later will have
a final conference ' wit;i President
Wilson. A carefuianalysis of the Sen
ate will be made in the meantime to
determine whether free wool, "one-cent-
sugar'' and low. rates on "market-basket"
products will prove ac
ceptable to a . majority of the Demo
crats. Briefly summarized, the tariff de
velopments of tne day wore:
President Wilson's ultimatum to
sugar interests that tbey must agree
to a tariff of one cent per pound for
three years, with free sugar after
that time, or he would attempt to S9
sure free sugar at once.
The completion of the bill, with
the exception of th3 sugar schedule.
The committee is prepared to agree
on free sugar if the President insists.
Income tax rates fixed at 1 per cent
for all corporation incomes above
$5000, 1 per cent on individual in
comes from $4000 to $20,000, 2 per

WASHINGTON, April 4. It became
known today that Senators Lane and
Chamberlain in making up .their pat
ronage slate several days ago turned
down all Democratic applicants who
had at any time In the past register
ed in the Oregon primaries as Repub
licans. There were 15 or 20. applicants for
various offices who had' at .one time
or another registered as Republicans,
but when this fact became known all
such were rejected. In one instance
a Democrat" who had once registered
as a Republican was about to be rec
ommended for an office .when advices
were received as to his irregularity
and -recommendation was withdrawn.
One of the Oregon -Senators - was
inclined to recognize several Demo
crats who had registered as Repub
licans, but his colleague stoutly, re
fused to agree to the appointment of
any Democrat waose regularity was
thus questioned. "
It is also known that Postmaster
General Burleson . will so far as he
is able, prevent the appointment of
any Democrat of this .type to any
postmastership.. Burleson .. says
will recognize only straight
