Dr. Strickland Mentioned As Possible
Candidate for County Judge,
Though Support is Not
Unanimous
There will be an assembly in Ore
gon City of delegates from the differ
ent precincts on Monday to select
candidates to run against County
Judge R. B. Beatie and County Com
smissioner N. Blair, in a recall elec
tion for which petitions will be filed
with the county clerk on Wednesday
of next week. Saturday evening meet
ings were held in a number of pre
cincts where the desire for the recall
Is said to be extensive, and delegates
to the Oregon City meeting were
named.
There Is considerable doubt as to
the two men who will be brought out
as candidates in the recall election.
The two will be selected Monday, and
petitions for their nomination will
then be circulated. The law requires,
however, that when the first meeting
for nomination is held, the' date of
the filing of the recall petitions must,
be fixed. Hence the announcement
that the recall petitions will be filed
Wednesday.
Just where Monday night's meeting
will bo held has not yet been deter
mined. Tf thfr are a sufficient num
ber of delegates, they will probably
meet in W. O. W. hall, where the
mass meetings leading up to the at
tempt at recall were held. If, on the
other hand, only a few delegates ap
pear, they will probably get together
in some private office to select their
ticket.
Those interested in the recall,
which is backed by W. H. Hageman,
state that Monday's meeting will
merely be in the guise of a steering
committee, and that no regular con
vention will be held. Nomination, of
ficially, will be madtv upon petition.
There is 'Some talk of naming Dr.
Strickland, of Oregon City, as candi
date for county judge, if he will ac
cept Thera are thoss who feel, how
ever, that it would be better to nom
inate a man not so closely identified
with city life, and the steering com
mittee will determine this. As to who
shall be nominated for county com
missioner, there seems to be a con
siderable difference of opinion. It is
not believed that any of the leaders
in the recall movement will come out
for office.
RICH MAN FACES
E
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 19.
Highly sensational stories concerning
the alleged systematic pursuit of
young girls by men of wealth and so
cial prominence are promised at the
trial of George H. Bixby here next
week. Bixby, a millionaire banker
residing with his family in a palatial
hore at Long Beach, is to be tried
on an indictment charging him with
aiding the delinquency of two minor
girls.
Bixby's arrest came as a sequel to
a police raid on "The Jonquil" an
apartment house which the police de
clare was a resort of the worst char
acter, despite its outward respectable
appearance and the luxury of its in
terior furnishings. The place was
run by -M(rs. Josie Rosenburg, against
whom two indictments were returned
on charges of pandering.
The raid on "The Jonquil'' and the
arrest of Mrs. Rosenbery'led to a
week's inquiry by the grand jury into
allegations that wealthy men bad an
organized system of ensnaring young
women and girls for immoral pur
poses. The indictment of millionaire
Bixby was the direct result of this in
quiry. The evidence on which the in
dictments were based was furnished
"chiefly by Kitty Phillips, a youthful
motion picture actress, and Marie
Brown-Levy, a young woman still in
her teens.
SPEAK AT HOLALLA

missioner Blair and J. E. Hedges, of
Oregon City, were speakers at a meet
ing at Molalla Saturday night, at
which citizens of that community in-
' vitea toe trio 10 iaiK upon county ar
faii'S and the pending recall move
ment. There was a good attendance,
ana ail iae speakers were enthusiasti
cally received and given careful atten
tion. Judge Beatie reviewed the increase
in taxes, and showed the causes, point
ing out how a large percentage of the
Increase was made mandatory by the
action of the legislature, and showing
by figures that the people, by voting
special levies, had also been largely
responsible for the increase.
Mr. Blair spoke of the work of the
county commissioners, and Mr. Hed
ges based his address upon the trend
of the times to make the government
more paternal than ever, and arguing
for a. return to simpler and more dem
ocratic principles.
There were about 75 or 80 voters
present at the meeting, and all seem

given. No questions were asked the

GLADSTONE PARK, July 19. All
roads lead toward Gladstone Park
Sunday. The gates swing open early
in the morning for the last day of the
20th annual assembly. Indications
point to a record-breaking Sunday
crowd from Portland and Oregon City
and Secretary Cross has doubled the
ground marshall force to look after
the Sunday patrons, who will probab
ly reach 7,000. An extra space of ap
proximately two acres is roped off
for the convenience of Portland autos
which will be on the grounds. To
avoid confusion all Portland autoists,
coming by way of the Clackamas road,
should enter the first gate. Vehicles
should come in the gate on the lower
grounds or Oregon City side. Arrange
ments have also been made late this
afternoon for an extra supply of
trailers on the P. R. L. & P., and
trains are to be run each half hour
from early morning, with each Oregon
City car, and all patrons will be car
ried from First and Aider directly in
to the gates of the park. Cars will
return every half hour until 10:30 p.
m.
As the big auditorium seats only
5,000, hundreds of benches will be
placed directly outside of the large
open-air structure, so that the fea
tures of the day may be enjoyed by
all. ,
Saturday was a great day at Chau
tauqua and about 3,000 people heard
Walt Holcomb's "Evolution of Wit
and Humor." The droll Southerner
convulsed his audience to an uncom
fortable extent, for the day was warm,
and the fusilade of anecdotes and
quibs of humor c&me fast. His lec
ture was not as deep as his original
"Horse Race" talk, but it met a pop
ular chord, as he traced the develop
ment of wit. and humor through the
various periods of evolution. Holcomb
sees a humorous side to the lower an
imals, and without a great amount of
effort, makes his audience see the
funny side of the lower creatures, too.
His talk was a treat.
Prof. Baumgardt, the scientists lec
turer and globe-trotter, made good
with the Chautauqua patrons last
night, and tonight gives the final lec
ture of his series at S:00 on "A Night
Among the Stars." He has traveled
in every nook and corner of the
world, and his experience is first
hand. He' shows a collection of rare
pictures. Baumgardt's talks are a
great intellectual feature of the pres
ent session.
The fire-works tonight attracted
thousands, and were beautiful in the
extreme.
Saturday program at the W. C. T.
U. hour from 4 to 5, was presented by
the Arista Union. The W. C. T .U.
work has been a feature all through
the assembly. Yesterday the winners
of the medals, Mesdames Snyder and
Jones, won additional honors in the
speaking line. Mesdames Arnnid and
Harford sang "The Shadows of Home"
in a pleasing manner. Never btcre
in Chautauqua's history have V.'. C.
T. U. affairs been more efficiently
handled, and seldom has their work
attracted more attention.
Colonel Geo. W. Bain gives his fare
well western lecture Sunday after
noon at 2:00 p. m. on "If I Could Live
Over." This famous speaker has won
great laurels for himself at Gladstone-.
The monster choir of 200 voices se
lected from Portland, Oregon City and
Gladstone willa gain give a sacred

The readers of THE ENTER

two-fold responsibility behind the
many products of nation-wide re
pute advertised locally in the
newspapers and offered for sale
' by the leading merchants of this .
city.
First and foremost, our readers
must know -that advertising has
arrived at such a sound basis that
it is a rare thing nowadays that
an advertised article does not
measure up to the standard estab
lished by its advertising.
Secondly, to secure the endorst
ment and oo-operation of our local
dealers manufacturers must prove
beyond question the worth of
their product.
Thus we find the manufactur
er's national reputation forfeited
by the local merchant's home rep
utation. It is quite likely, therefore, that
our confidence is easily won and
wa look with favor upon tht many
necessaries of life offered for
sale under such assuring auspices
and advertised in newspapers
like THE ENTERPRISE.

CHAMPIONS LAID
LOW BY CLUBMEN
It used up five pitchers to decide
the championsnip game of the Chau
tauqua series Saturday at Gladstone
park, wuen the Clackamas players
met the Oregon City Commercial club
White Sox. Up ,tfr that game Clack
amas had not been beaten, but the
White Sox proved too much for them,
and put them down and out to the
tune of 15 to 12. The game was tied
up to the seventh inning, though
through the earlier innings victory
perched first on one side and then on
.the other.
Burdon, Scott and Hargraves twirl
ed for Clackamas in an effort to stem
the tide of defeat, and Long and Tel--ford
pitched for the White Sox. In
all, the five pitchers allowed 30 hits;
but many hot ones that would ordin
arily have meant runs for the Clack
amas players Were stopped by Smith,
who played center for the clubmen.
Smith was everywhere whenever
there was any batting on, and was the
one bright and shinning star of the
day.
About 3,000 fans turned out to see
the last game of the series, and root

ROBERT GRAY DROWNED UNDER
RAFT OF LOGS IN SWIFT
PART OF STREAM
TIMBERMEN MAKE EFFORT TO SAVE
Body of Victim Recovered After Long
Search by Fellow Employees
Lad Fights Hard for
His Life :
Slipping from some logs being driv
en down the Molalla river, Robert
Gray, 18 years of age, who lives near
Nathan's Mills, in the Deep Creek
country, was drowned Saturday after
noon -despite the efforts of other log
gers and men on the shore to save his
life. The body was recovered late in
the day and taken to an undertaking
shop in Molalla.
Gray was well out in the stream,
poling logs through some rough wa
ter, when he lost his balance and fell
into the stream. For a moment he
struggled to regain his footing, but
on-rushing logs broke his hold upon
the one he was endevoring to climb
upon, and he was sucked under by
the current in a mass of timber.
, River mates made every effort to
save him,- many of the men risking
their lives in an attempt to reach him
in time. . After it was seen that he
was doomed, the men worked just as
hard to recover his body, which was
finally found a considerable distance
down stream from the point where
he went under.
Gray is survived by a father and
mother, and there are a number of
other children in the family.
BATHER'S WATCH
If Karl Gostavranich wants his
watch, his chain, his knife and the
two-bits that were stolen from his
clothes Friday while he was swim
ming in the river1, he can have the
same by applying to Constable Jack
Frost, either at his home 612 Monroe
street, or at his official hangout, in
Justice Sievers' courtroom. Clever
detective work on the part of the con
stable and Chief Ed Shaw, of the po
lice department, recovered the stolen
property Saturday evening, in just
about 24 hours after it had been
hed. . ..
With practically nothing to work
upon, the officers sleuthed around un
til they picked up a blender clue, and
then followed that unerringly to a
group of boys, who more in mischief
than anything . else, had appropriated
the swimmer's belonging. When con
fronted with proof of their crime, and
told of the actual seriousness of their
act, the boys willingly gave up the
bather s property, and pleaded that
they be not prosecuted.
1 he lads concerned come of good
families, and as their parents have
agreed to see that they are duly pun
ished for their attempt at being real
bandits, the officers have agreed to
drop the case. So Karl can now get
his stuff.

P.E. & E. SEEKING RIGHT-OF-WAY
Much Territory in Neighborhood of
Oswego is Involved in Dispute
Over Realty Values
Papers Are Filed
What promises to be an interesting
court proceeding is the condemnation
suit filed Saturday by the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern railroad against
the Oregon Iron & Steel company, for
a right-of-way through certain land
owned by the latter concern in . Os
wego. In its complaint the railroad
company, through Ralph Moody and
John F. Reilly, state that the land is
needed for the construction of the
railroad line proposed, and tha total
damages, when the benefits accuring
the defendants are considered, will
not exceed ?2,000. ; ;'
The P., E. & E. seeks right-of-way
through a part of the Joshia Franklin
and wife donation land claim number
43, in sections 2 and 3, township 2,
south, range 1 east; through the don
ation land claim of A. A. Durham and
wife, in section three, through a part
of section ten, through lot 14, bloc'i
7, of Oswego, through a portion of
blocks 13 and 6, and through lots 1, 2,
3, 4, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of block 1, Os
wego. This land, it is claimed, is
needed for tracks, sidings, depot
grounds, and such other purposes as
the railroad company is rightfully em
powered to use.
The interurban line has been nego
tiating for some time with the Oregon
Iron & Steel company for the prop
erty, but has been unable to reach a
bargain, and so the condemnation pro
ceedings have been filed.
It is said that the assessor's office
has had similar difficulty in reaching
an agreement as to the value of tha
property included in the proceedings,
and it is expected that the testimony
adduced at the hearing of the suit will
be closely followed by the county of
ficials, and may possibly be made the
basis of some further dealings be
tween the county and the holding
company. Attorneys familiar with
the prospects of the case say that
there will undoubtedly be some startl
ing testimony brought out as to the
value of the land ia question. ,
SEATTLE IS QUIET;

of Mayor Cotterill were overruled in

Mayor Cotterill ordered suppressed,
was sold on' the streets and delivered

There were no further disorders to
