OWN ROAD FUNDS
NEIGHBORING CITY FILES SUIT
AGAINST COUNTY FOR PART
OF TWO YEARS' TAXES
NEARLY $3,000 AT STAKE IN CASE
Right of Municipalities to Expend
Highway Levy Collected With
in Borders is Basis for
Action
The city of Gdadstone has filed suit
against Clackamas county and J. A.
Tufts, treasurer, for $2,999.88, which
it charges is due it from the county
as the unexpended balance of the road
funds collected in the years 1911 and
1912. The suit is in the line of a test
case, and will be carried to the su
preme court for final decision, people
of Gladstone declare. It is based upon
the constitutional amendment passed
in 1906, which gives to incorporated
cities the right to fix the percentage
of. road funds collected within their
area which shall be expended on local
improvement work. Before the pass
age of this amendment the legislature
fixed this percentage.
The complaint of the city of Glad
stone, filed by attorneys J. N. Sievers
and H. E. Cross, sets forth that . in
the years 1911 and 1912 the county
levied a road tax of eight mills on the
dollar, and that as a result there was
collected in Gladstone $2,568,98 in
1911 and $2,695.60 in 1912. Of this
sum the county gave Gladstone $1,
336.12 in 1911 and 928.58 out of the
1912 levy, and has since refused to
turn over to Gladstone the balance.
The city of Gladstone, therefore, has
filed suit for $1,232.88 due on the
1911 levy and for $1,767.02 due on the
1912 levy.
This money, according to the com
plaint, rightfully belongs to Gladstone,
as the city, under its charter, sets
forth specifically that it shall have
control of all moneys collected by as
sessment and taxation within Sts
borders, and shall in particular have
control of the funds collected through
road taxes. Gladstone is doing much
street improvement work at present,
and needs the money now being with
held by the county for its municipal
improvement.
Gladstone people declare that the
state laws, as they now stand, give
every incorporated municipality the
right to expend the road taxes collect
ed within its bordeds, and for their
part they mean t0 have the use of
the money they have paid in during
the last two years. The progress of
the suit will be closely followed by

WEEKLY ENTERPRISE ESTABLISHED 1866,
OREGON CITY,
CLEAN-UP BOARD
REPORTS ON
The health and police committee of
the city council met with the civic
improvement committee of the Live
Wires of the Oregon City Commercial
club Friday evening in regular month
ly session. Reports of work accom
plished in the past month were read,
and members of the Lie "Wires com
mittee then called the councilmen's
attention to a number of places in the
city where unsanitary conditions pre
vail. Cleaning up of these placss
will be ordered.
The work of the joint committees is
accomplishing much for the better
ment of the city, and is being more
nd more appreciated by citizens, who
at first looked upon the efforts to
wards cleaning up as something of a
fad.
"We are receiving the co-operation
of a surprisingly large number of
people,' said . Councilman Albright, a
member of the committee. "At first
we found the work bard, but people
are now reporting unsanitary spots to
us, and are cleaning up their own
property without being asked to. The
benefits of the work are being gen
erally understood, and the efforts, of
the committee are being appreciated.
At last night's meeting it was de
cided to accomplish as much cleaning
as possible before the end of the com
ing week, when thousands of visitors
will come in to the city from out of
town point to attend the annual stock
show and Booster Day celebration.
NEW BRIDGE ASKED
To provide a more direct route of
travel between Gladstone and this
city, people of the former community
are planning the construction of a
new hihway bridge across the Clack
amas river, and will ask the county to
assist them in its construction, and
also to build a short stretch of road
from the south shore of the stream,
just above the present Portland Rail
way, Light & Power company bridge,
to Park Place, so that connection may
be -made wih the present county
road. - '
Gladstonians desire the new bridge
built just to the east of the interur-
ban bridge, so that the present de
i tour along the north bank of the
: river and through the eastern edge
: of Park Place may be avoided. Con
: struction of a new bridge and strip of
; connecting road, as planned, would
: shorten the highway distance between
j Gladstone and Oregon City practically
I a mile. It is believed that there is
-enough traffic between the two com
munities to maice ine improvement
worth while.

Springwater pioneer still in the prime
of his energy, Friday arested a horse
thief and brought him to justice. An
nlH Bmnnt'n hnre rifle fisnirpd in the
arrest, and sufficed to bring the mar
auder of the Warnock stables to time
without much parley.
Five o'clock Friday morning Mr.
Warnock arose to do his chores, as
has been his custom since he first
oottiBii on the Snrinewater. nearly fif
ty years ago. On going to the barn
he discovered that one or nis oesi
horses was missing, as was its bridle
and saddle. The horse had been
freshly shod but a day or two before,
and Mr. Warnock had little dif iculty
in following its tracks and noting the
general direction in which the animal
had gone.
Returning to his house he procured
an old smooth bore rifle with whica
he has brought down much game, and
cutting across fields took a trail that
he knew would intercept the roadway
along which his steed had been taken.
Reaching this highway alter an nour s
walk, he again discovered the tracks
of the animal, and following them a
short way, noted that they turned
down a blind side road. Knowing
there was no other outlet at the other
end of this by-path, Mr. Warnock sat
down by the roadside and waited de
velopments. In a few minutes he saw his horse
coming back towards the main road,
ridden by a stranger. Waiting until
the rider was within a few feet of
him, Mb. Warnock threw up his rifle
and 'covered the ' man on horseback,
ordering him to throw up his hands.
The rider obeyed instantly, though he
protested at being "held up" in such
a way. Mr. Warnock paid no heed to
his protestations, but bade the man
get down and stand beside the horse.
When he had done this, still keeping
his man covered, Mr. Warnock mount
ed the steed and ordered his quarry
to walk ahead of him"."
At the point of the rifle, Mr. War
nock marched his man several miles,
until he reached the settlement at
Springwater, where he dismounted,
and continuing to keep the muzzle of
his rifle on his prisoner, telephoned
Oregon City for an officer. A deputy
constable was sent out after the horse
thief, and the prisoner was brought in
to Justice Siever's court. There he
gave his name as Charles Maher, and
after a brief hearing was bound over
to the grand jury.
Mr. Warnock is well known in the
Springwater country and in Oregon
City, and is regarded as a fearless and
daring man. Friends of his say that
it would have made no difference to
him if all his horses had been stolen,
and declare that if such had been the
case he would, with equal ease and
firmness, have rounded up the entire
gang of thieves. He is known as an
expert short, and his rifle is said to
be one of the truest guns in Clack
amas county.
AGE OF YOUTH NOW ON;
EFFJCIENCY IN DEMAND
The whole commercial and social
world is demanding young blood,
which condition of affairs seriously
handicaos the opportunities of men
or women in middle lift, who look
their opes. The man of fifty, who
goes about the business world with
his exact age stamped upon his face,
suffers a disadvantage from the man
who looks younger.
Yet. manv men are striving to ad
vance in their particular line's of en
deavor, with their ages indelibly
stamped upon their faces because they
wear those old-style,' odd-looking eye
glasses.
Tho nrpsent dav woman of middle
age has by strict attention to items of
dress and toilette cusseeded in retain
ing that much-loved appearance of
youth, and yet she permits the de
struction of this entire effort the mom
pnt she wears a D'lir of old-time con
spicuous bifocal glasses.
Glasses alone, do not give one tne
nf 'aee. The nubile has
long since been aware that both young
and old people may have to wear
glasses. At the same time the pub
lic has learned to observe that bifocal
Erlassps are a brand of old age.
Until recently the art of making
eyeelasses has been unable to over
come the great objection, of unsigntiy
bifocal lenses.
Kryptoks are composed of separate
sihlv inined toeether. thus
nerfectine a bifocal lens indistinguish
able from any ordinary lens. The
lines of division between the near and
tha far have disappeared. They are
in appearance and effect no different
from single focus eyeglass lenses and
all that was odd and peculiar about
the old-style bifocal has been swept
away. '

For the first time in its varied his
tory the Milwaifkie Tavern was so
emphatically closed Friday that there
was no doubt about its condition. In
fact, . it was not only closed, its li
cense revoked, and its legal right to
Tun removed, but a deputy sheriff was
in charge Bf the property.
Sheriff Mass seized he resort Fri
day under a writ of attachment, sworn
to by the Mt. Hood Brewing company.
The writ was issued against Earl Al
phen, late proprietor of the place, and
is to protect the brewing company in
regard to materials and supplies fur
nished. Sheriff Mass served the pa
pers and after locking the tavern up
securely, left a keeper in charge to
see that nothing was removed from
the premises.
During the evening some unsophisti
cated poy-riders from Portland motor
ed out to the resort, but failed to ap
preciate the cordial greeting extended
them by the sheriff 's deputy, and de
parted in haste from the place as fast
as gasoline would propel them.
