MILLSBURG, ORE.,
What appears to have been an at
tempt to set fire to the plant of the
Oregon City Woolen mills was made
Wednesday morning between three
and half past, but was frustrated by
the prompt action of John Dickens,
watchman on the river side of the es
tablishment, who opened fire upon
the incendiary, afier the marauder
had first fired at him. Investigation
by the police and sheriff's office im
mediately after the interchange of
shots revealed a kerosene soaked
bundle of papers that had been drop
ped by the incendiary in his flight.
Following the recent socialistic
troubles special guards have been
placed about all the industrial plants
here. John Dickens, proprietor of the
Woodbine hotel, has been acting as
one of these, and early Wedneslay
morning found a man loitering about
the receiving door of the woolen
mills. Dickens called to the maraud
er to give an account of himself, and
the man in reply fired a shot at him
from a revolver which he carried,
and the.i dashed down a steep rock
bank to the river. Dickens drew his
revolver to return the fire, but out
of four shells he had in the chambers,
but two exploded when the hammer
struck them. '
Escape (Made in Boat
Attempting to fire at the fleeing
man. and pursuing him, Dickens says
he heard the man scramble into a
boat and row rapidly out into the
stream. Dickens' last .shot was sent
out after the boat, but apparently
went wild. Noise of the shooting at
tracted special guards and the night
policemen, and they in turn summon
ed Sheriff E. T. Mass and Chief of
Police Ed. Shaw. The officers made
a thorough investigation of the sceno
of the shooting, found a 38-calibre
bullet imbedded in a freight car stand
ing on the mill siding, and a roll of
kerosene soaked papers lying beside
the path leading to the river. Though
rigidly cross-questioned several times
during the day, Dickens stuck to the
same story of the affair.
At the police station, where the roll
of papers was taken, investigation of
the intended torch was made Wednes
day afternoon. It was tied securely
with heavy twine, and consisted of a
roll of butcher paper, in which meat
had recently been kept, enclosing a
copy of the Sunday Oregonian and
Sunday Journal of June 8th. Both
newspapers had been torn into nar
row strips, and then bound together
in the form of a faggot. The parcel
was thoroughly saturated with ker
sene.
Darkness Aids Plot.
Dickens' description of the incendi
ary is meagre, but this is accounted
for by the fact that it was still dark
when the man was seen, owing to the
rainy weather. The bullet found im
bedded in the freight cars was of 38
calibre, and had been fired from a
cheap revolver, there being no rifling
marks upon it. The Oregon Woolen
mills employ a large force of women
and girls, and were the subpect of or
atorical attacks by socialist speakers
who held street meetings in the city
Monday night.
A peculiar thing about the evident
attempt at incendiarism is that the
marauder picked the most difficult
path from the river to the place
where he was first seen, and that had

from the point where he exchanged
shots with the watchman, probably
no damage would have been done, as
the wind was from the southwest at
the time, and the fire would have had
to work against the breeze. The sec
tion of the plant selected for the at
tempt is of wooden construction, but
the main mills are of stone and heavy
masonry. A double guard of deputies
will watch all the mills and industrial
plants tonight.
Loiterers Are Seen.
Shortly after midnight, Wednesday
morning, night patrolmen surprised
a .group of men on the Southern Pa
cific tracks near the woolen mills,
but they fled at the approach of the
policemen. Aside from this, no loit
erers has been seen in the city since
Monday night.
The Woodbine hotel, of which Dick
ens is proprietor, was made the head
quarters by Portland socialists dur
ing their stay in this city last week,
immediately following the rioting in
the paper mills. When not on the
street Thomas Burns, the Portland
leader, was at the house, and there
also, were the members of his party.
In his soap box harraftigue Mon
day night, Burns said in part:
"The papers say that a thousand
men were responsible for the rioting
here. That is a lie. There was no
rioting. But whatever there was, you
can believe that I and Comrade Rans
ley were responsible for it, and only
us. We are going to organize the
men and women in the mills here
whether they want to be organized or
not; and you haven't heard the last
of us yet. We will be back again'
Some people see a significance in
this threatening speech since the at
tempt on the woolen mills. ,
Aid Furnished Plotters?
Investigation of the affair, carried
on throughout Wednesday by police
and special deputies of the sheriff's
office, leads to the belief that more
than one man may have been concern
ed in the attempt upon the woolen
mills. Some twenty minutes after
the first shooting, it was learned, two
torpedoes were placed upon the in
terurban track, and were exploded by
the night freight train. Members of
the train crew say they had no knowl
edge of these torpedoes until they
were discharged.
The reports, sounding like shots in
the early dawn, sent the officers hur
rying back to the mill neighborhood,
believing that further shooting had
taken place. Finding all quiet, they
made a tour of the river bank, but
found nothing. . It has sinca been sur
mised that these torpedoes may have
been placed on the track to confuse
the officers summoned by the first in
terchange of shots, so that the in
cendiary could have a better field for
escape.
Aside from the torch dropped by
the incendiary, a bunch of skeleton
keys was also found, and it is believ
ed that the marauder intended to
utilize these in effecting entrance in
to the mill sheds. Once inside, it is
believed he intended to bury his torch
in raw wool, set fire to one end of it,
and then flee. This would give op
portunity for escape before the flames
gained sufficient headway to break
out through the roof; and would also
have given the fire a good start be
fore its discovery.

early Monday and appropriated near
ly $3000 in cash, Ray Diamond, the
youthful desperado, yesterday appear
ed at the Benton mine, 25 miles west
of Glendale, and for more than an
hour sat and chatted with a half doz

Although previously warned to be
on the lookout for Diamond, the mine
employes were caught napping, and
made no effort to take the fugitive in
custody.
When he arrived at the mine he
was dressed much the same as when
he left Glendale, and carried a pack
of provisions and blankets on his
back. His rifle was carr-ied on his
arm in the same careless manner as
when he walked from the Glendale
bank following the robbery. As he
sat chatting with the mine employes
he talked of his journey through the
mountains and gave his listeners to
understand that he was en route to
the coast in search of employment.
Although apparently cool and col
lected, Diamond carefully surveyed
the movements of those about him
and not once did he allow his finger
to move from the trigger. Later he
left, going west.

ORDINANCE AGAINST STREET

Routine Business is
Cleared Away
Introduction of an ordinance pro
hibiting street speaking in Oregon
City brought forth a storm of protest
and endorsement at Wednesday
night's council meeting, and was fin
ally defeated by a tied vote, neither
the odd councilman nor mayor car
ing to ballot decisively in the meas
ure. The ordinance, as introduced,
forbade all form of street speaking,
soap box oratory, or other agitation,
except upon written permission of the
mayor or chief of police. When the
measure came up for consideration
argument was long and strenuous,
and when vote was taken the ordinance-
died a-borning by reason of the
deadlock.
Following this forensic opening, the
council settled down to routine con
sideration of other matters. Four bids
upon the proposed elevator to carry
passengers up the face of the bluff be
tween the business and residence por
tions of the city were received, and
were referred to the special elevator
committee for consideration and re
port, A bid for the improvement of
Fourth street was received, and was
also referred to committee for con
sideration. A feature of this bid,
which was from the Oregon Engineer
ing & Construction company, was an
offer to supply crushed rock for the
I roadway portion at $1.75 per yard, and
to permit the city to do the laying
and rolling. t
Specifications were considered for
the improvements on Seventh and
Twelfth streets, and protests of prop
erty owners in regard to assessments
for the improvements of J. Q. Adams,
Jackson and Sixteenth streets were
also reported upon. An estimate wa3
presented for the county road im
provement on Division street.
In the course of the evening Coun
cilman Tooze made an earnest plea in
behalf of property owners within the
Seventh street trunk sewer district,
and urged the council to take some
action so that these citizens would
have an available sewer with which
to connect their homes. Mr. Tooze
recited many hardships endured by
these citizens, and at the close of hid
remarks the city engineer" was in
structed to prepare specifications for
the first division of the proposed
trunk sewer, so that work could be
started upon it at the earliest possible
moment.
SENATE'S VETERAN
NOW EIGHTY-FIVE
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 18.
Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wiscon
sin, the oldest member of the upper
house in point of age, entered upon
his eighty-fifth year today, but is as
vigorous as the average man of fifty.
For many years Senator Stephenson
has been an influential figure in the
financial and industrial affairs of his
stale and nation. Of late years he
has become a power in national poli
tics. Senator Stephenson is a splendid
type of the self-made, self-educated
American. His boyhood -was spent in
poverty. Today he is the richest man
in Wisconsin, being worth at least
$15,000,000, The bulk of his vast for
tune was made in lumber.
Mr. Stephenson was born on June
18, 1829, hear the city of Fredericton,
N. B. He went to Wisconsin with his
family when he was only sixteen
years old and was one of the first to
plough its soil. At that time his par
ents were so poor that the children
had to go barefooted, even in the win
ter. When only seventeen the future
senator broke 130 acres of land near
Janesville and helped put in 400 acros
of wheat. In the winter he went up
into the lumber regions and worked
hard and faithfully, hauling logs with
a six-ox team. In 1850 he began to do
business on his own account. During
the summers he sailed vessels on the
lakes and during the winters he con
tinued to work in the lumber campa.
Being a good judge of the value of
timber, he was able to locate for him
self and associates hundreds of thous
ands of acres in northern Wisconsin
and Michigan, which later made them
all millionaires. He established mills,
factories and banks in his home town
of Menominee.

It is going to be "Millsburg."
That was settled Wednesday night -at
a meeting of citizens of Willamette
Heights, West Oregon City, Bolton
and other west shore communities,
that are soon to incorporate into the
new city of Millsburg. The choice of
name was made by vote, Wednesday
being the time fixed for considering
suggested titles and awarding the Jo
prize to the successful sponsor. J.
Nichols, secretary of the West Side
Improvement league suggested Mills
burg, and won the five dollars.
Names were suggested in great
numbers. Some of the titles came
from Portland, many from Oregon
City, and still others from nearby
communities. Each name was con
sidered separately, and voted upon.
As a matteh of fact the meeting votsd
all the names down and then went
back and reconsidered its action, and
selected Millsburg as the winner.
Among the titles for the new city
suggested were the following,-
Belvidere, Birmingham, Dale, Palls

riman, Hoodview, Hillview, Hillmount,
Mill Falls, Millbrook, Lee McBain,

Rosemere, Rose City, Rosecliff, Sun

Wiloreton and Woodrow.
After the matter of name selection-
had been disposed of, it was deter
; mined to have Don E. Meldrum sur
i vey and plat the proposed incorpora
tion. A temporary clerk for the or-;
ganization having the incorporation
in charge was elected in the person
of, J. Nichols; and M. Michels was
named temporary treasurer.
It was also voted to change the
proposed limits somewhat, first to in
clude Magones Park, and secondly to
extend the eastern limits from the
meander line of the Willamette rvier
to the middle of the stream. If this
latter change is adopted as legal, it
will bring the borders of Millsburg
right up to the western limits of Ore

The Art of
Dressing
There is nothing that bolsters
up self-respect and creates self
confidence like the feeling of
being well-dressed. Certain of
correct personal appearance,
most men will approach any per
son or situation with assurance.
Conscious of all ill-cut coat or a
gaping collar, they will often
quail before the observant stare
of a street urchin.
To dress well and obtain this
feeling of confidence is an art.
To accomplish it on a limited in
come requires unceasing vigil
ance. Carefulness in expendi
ture obtains infinitely better re
sults than recklessness. "Look
before you buy" should be the
motto of every thrifty man and
woman.
The kind of looking that helps
the most in the shortest time is
the careful reading of advertise
ments in the better class news
papers. They will answec. for
.you these vital questions:
