Do You Know What it Stands for
You want your car to reflect in its name the judgment you
exercise in choosing it . You want to mention the name with. pride,
not apology. You ask no odds of anybody, or of any car no mat
ter what its price if yours is an Overland.
To manufacture an automobile that will give fairly good ser
vice with expert supervision is not a very difficult matter. But to
produce a first-rate automobile, a car that gives uniform and unfail
ing satisfaction in the hands of the average user, was left to The
WillysOverland Company.
The Overland has been, and is, a splendid proof of its makers'
conviction that a motor car of sterling Qualities can be sold to the
public at a price lower that that
of similar cars.

F. 0. B. TOLEDO ment of the car- You must judge the car by
the material in it, the workmanship on it, the
methods employed to produce it, and last but not least, the facili
ties behind the production methods.
Take the equipment item alone. The car has a Warner speed
ometer the best made; a fine mohair top and covering; a clear
vision windshield; a Self-starter and Prestolite tank every prac
tical accessory made for an automobile. And all for the one price.
There are no "extras."'
Only enormous capital and gigantic preparation can accomplish
this. The Overland has both, and in this regard is in a class all
by itself. '

TARIFF TO CAUSE
, DECLINE IN WOOL
While a small amount of business
is said to be passing in the woo
trade, at scattered points in Oregon
and Washington, the market as a rule
is quoted extremely quiet with quota
tions nominal.
The entire trade is awaiting action
of Congress on the proposed
cut of the duty. That a lowering of
the tariff will have an effect upon the
price is now the conclusion of the
entire trade. Producers are. getting
somewhat more Beamingly willing
to make some concessions in the
price they have been holding for.
As a rule there is a marked deter
mination' to await the regular sales
days before disposing of their fleeces,
because no matter what the market
does they consider they will receive
better figures by selling all in a bunch
than disposing of their limited lots
to individual buyers without compe

GRAVE OF PIONEER
WOMAN UNCOVERED
While workmen were excavating
in a basement in one of the houses
belonging to Frank Busch on Twelfth
Street Saturday, a grave was found
which is believed to be one of the
oldest graves of a white person in
the Northwest. The coffin was made
of heavy cedar planks which had been
hewn out with an ex. They were
put together with large hand ham
mered spikes. The bones in the cof
fin are in a poor state of preserva
tion and it is thought that they are
probably those of a woman as they
are small. Although the grave was
in dry sand, it is so old that the ce
dar has decayed. It is estimated
that the grave is probably 65 or 70
years old, because of the fact that
hand made neils were used in the
casket. It is not likely that of an In
dian, as there were no beads or other
Indian relics found in it.
Numerous other relics have been
found in the same neighborhood.

ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE.
Intense Play of Criminal Life to be
Seen at the Baker This Week.
Will a criminal really reform and
lead a strictly honest' life if given the
chance is the subject dealt with in
Paul Armstrong's thrilling play, "Alias
Jimmy Valentine'' which the Bak-sr
players will be seen in for the week
commencing Sunday matinee next.
A.nd the play proves that he will, for
it deals with three of them, although
the principal one is this clever young
safe cracker, known as Jimmy Val
entine. The scenss open at Sing
Sing prison and many types of crooks
are shown to a party of distinguish
ed visitors, who at the same time get
a glimpse of the methods of dealing
with prisoners behind those walls. A
young girl discovers in Jimmy , the
man she has been looking for for two
years the man who rescued her
from the attack of a ruffian, and she
immediately goes about obtaining
his pardon and then induces him to
come West with them and accept a
responsible position in her father's
bank. The play then takes up the life

CITY ENGINEER
Charging that City Engineer C. S.
Noble, and hisassistant, George C.
Yale, entered into a conspiracy with
Mayor Jones and the members of the
city council'tor the purpose of giving
Yale an opportunity to hold a posi
tion unlawfully, Henry Meldrum,
city engineer under the Carll adminis
tration, has filed a reply in the cir
cuit court. Meldrum is acting on
the relation of the state xof. Oregon,
plaintiff, and seeks to oust Yale, who
was appointed city engineer early in
January. The city charter of Oregon
City provides that the city engineer
must be an actual resident, and must
have been a year prior to his appoint
ment, and although it was contended
that Yale was a resident of Meldrum
Station, where he lives, he was con
firmed by the council, and' Henry
Meldrum brought suit to oust him.
On February 7 Yale resigned and
Meldrum says that in pursuance of a
preconceived plan; conspiracy and
agreement by Yale and the city offi
cials, the mayor pretended to fill
the vacancy by the appointment of
Noble, who was . Yale's assistant.
Yale then became Noble's assistant,
but has been practically directing the
work of the city engineer's depart
ment in the same manner as when he
held the title of city engineer.

it. says Db. Ford, and if Christian
ity is not adapted to conditions today
it must- pass as other religious, pass
before the march of the empire of

FORUM 0FTHE PEOPLE
DO NOT NEED HIGHWAY!
OREGON CITY, April 5. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) The Enterprise
has published some very astounding
articles for the past two days upon
the title page and under prominent
"scare-heads,'' the bright ideas of
which evidently came from some of
the wise heads of Canemah. We are
surprised to note that a high class
publication like the Enterprise, would
take up petty differences of road dis
tricts and give them prominence on
the front page. It must always be
remembered that there are always
two sides to all stories and in answer
to these misleading articles, we know
this paper will be just as willing-to
publish more information about this
little matter.
In the first place, the people of
Twilight do not need the so-called Pa
cific Highway and never made any
effort to have it pass through this
neighborhood but have always realiz
ed that the Pacific Highway follow
ed the South End road because it is
the most practical route. We afe
willing for the autos to pass through
Canemah if they so desire and no
doubt it would be quite a treat for
as we pass along our beautiful South
End road and look down on the Jittle
city of Canemah, sleeping peacefully
in the bottom, it - does look rather
lonesome. It happens that the Twi
light people have horses and - some of
them have many horses and quite a
numfter even have automobiles, so
it is noc surprising that they are in
terested in having a road and the
facts of the case is, we use the roads
in Canemah more than the Canemah
people do, therefore any sane person
would know better than to state that
we are opposed to improving - the
roads. Yes, Canemah voted a special
tax and Twilight would not, accord
ing to the articles in the paper.. Why
not come out and play fair and say
that we are all in the same road dis
trict and that last year we all agreed'
to vote a special tax and divide the
same on an equitable .basis upon our
three roads. Now, what was done. It
was 'estimated that each road would
receive nearly a thousand dollars.
About six hundred feet was built in
Twilight, a little more on the Mt.
Pleasant road and the work on the
River road is not noticeable as yet.
It must be remembered that the road
supervisor 4s William Fine and that
he was appointed by the County
Court. Then these same wise heads
decided to vote another special tax
this year and as a great many of the
taxpayers were not satisfied with the
previous deal and as it could not be
explained why some of the money
was being held up, Canemah, Mt.
Pleasant and Twilight people all join
ed in defeating the frame-up. Now
these are the facts of the case and are
the only reason the special tax was
defeated.
There is practically no difference
in the distance between Oregon City
and ' New Era over the River and
South End roads and that mile and a
half difference is another Canemah
dream. It would cost ten times as

PUBLIC DOCK A NECESSITY
OREGON CITY, April 5. -(Editor of
the Enterprise.) I most seriously ob
ject to the report of the committee,
having" the matter in hand f public
dock, that is to be made by said com
mittee to the next Council meeting,
as referred to in an article and in
today's Tnterprise. Now it has been
reported that the Live Wires, the
Commercial Club and City Council,
were all working in harmony toward
bettering Oregon City. As I under
stand it the Live Wires have a com
mittee to look up and report upon a
good locatiqn for said dock, and prob
ably have two or three locations to
report on. Now comes the commitlee
from the Common Council, who have
decided to relegate the dock business
to some indefinite period. They
claim that the new water system, and
the new elevator will cost so much
money that we cannot afford to build
a dock. Now I claim that the water
system, and the public dock are nec
essities, while the elevator is a lux
ury, and can be better dispensed with
than something that will be a lasting
benefit not only to this city but the
whole county.
For years the expressmen of this
city and farmers of this county have
been compelled to haul their heavy
loads three or four blocks out of their
way, over a contemptable rough road,
to reach the old ramshackle of a place
called a steamboat dock, which a por
tion of the years is partly covered
with water, and which lies at the out
let of a sewer, the stench from which
at times is enough to. sicken a pole
cat, and a most beautiful and pictures
que sight for the hundreds of excur
sionists from Portland, who visit our
city during the summer months.
There are several ways by which
the residents of the hill section can
reach the city, and can now do it with
safety, but should an elevator be
erected who can tell how soon a ter
rible catastrophe might happen,
through some mismanagement of said
elevator. But aside from this, let us
spend our money for something that
will benefit the entire .county.
Respectfully,
