Charged with carrying concealed

o'clock. Behind the arrest lies an
allegation that Erickson, who is 65
years old, planned to murder his
wife, who is 35. Ths comlaint is
sworn to by Mrs. Erickson, who has
left her home and gone to reside with
relatives for the time being.
Excitment iR the Erickson home
was first called to the attention of
the authorities Sunday afternoon,
when a frantic telephone call was re
ceived by Chief Shaw, of the police
department, urging him to hurry and
sand the sheriff to Mt. Pleasant, a
suburb of Oregon City, so as to pre
vent murder. When the call came in
Sheriff Mass was seeking people re
ported to be bathing "au naturel" at

set out to stop a felony.

ance was passed finally at Monday

zled dogs are "game" for the police

month period, and punishment is
provided for dog-owners who do not
equip their pets with suitable bite-pre-1
venters.
With the becoming effective of the I

SHE MET
MRS. NEVADA BR1GGS
Expert Educator on Baking at FRANK BUSCH'S FURNITURE STORE
Mrs. Briggs, the lecturer and illus
trator at the free baking school, cer
tainly did take the ladies of Oregon
City by surprise. Her success was
instantaneous, judging by the enthus
iastic interest of the large number of
ladies present. There is no mistake
about Mrs. Briggs's being expert in
her work; she is simply wonderful.
The baking school Is sure to be pop
ular with the housewives of Oregon
City as there is so much that is prac
tical and useful in every-day baking
"taught by this expert. Everything
she does in her work is explained ia
tin understandable - way. As each'
recipe is put together the consistency
of the dough, as it should be, is shown
Truth will out, in spite of efforts to
keep it hidden.
For sometime past the promoters
of the recall movement against Coun
ty Judge R. B. Beatie and Count7
Commissioner N. Blair, have declar
ed that only the desire to benefit the
county, and a siirring patriotism all
of their own,, ware making them seek
the political scalps of the two' offi
cers. Intimation that - there has been a
personal grouch hidden away in the
recall have been rigidly denied. The
valiant three who "investigated" and
"found true" the charges against the
county officers, did their duty with
crocodile tears in their eyes , and
were pained beyond measure to djs-
cover mat rmngs were as corrupt' as
they said they were.
All of which was just plain, com
mon bunk.
Who says so?
M. J. Brown, editor of The Courier,
the clarion sheet of truth, and the
chief noise-maker of the recall camp.
This man Brown, it appears, knows
considerable about the recall, but
very little about at least one of the
men for whose disgrace he has been
shouting. Monday Brown rounded
up a prominent business man of
Clackamas county, and engaged him
in conversation. Quite naturally they
talked of the recall.
'What do you think of Blair," ask
ed Brown.
The business man answered that
he thought Commissioner Blair was
a good official, honest, painstaking
and thoroughly to be relied upon.
"I don't know anything at all about
him," said Brown, "in .fact I don't be
lieve I'd know him if I saw him."
The business man, quite naturally,
WITH GREAT SUCCESS
and you afe told how to control tha
temperature of your own oven to se
cure results that are unfailing and
" satisfactory. It is noted in the work
of this expert that she has no failures
in baking. She serves what she
bakes to the ladies present as it
comes from the oven. The K. C. Bak
ing Powder,-used by Mrs. Briggs in
. her work, certainly gives an aston-'
" ishing resu'.t, if the food baked by It
is any criterion to go by. Ladies
' who have tried this modern, never
failing powder are" generous in their
-" praise of it and are advising their
neighbors and those they are inter-.,
ested in to order a 25-cent can, from
. the grocer -and insist on. his sending
then asked this Brown party why
Commissioner Blair was the object of
attack.
"OH, WE HAD TO INCLUDE HIM,
OR ELSE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE
SEEN THAT THE ATTACK . ON
JUDGE BE ATI E WAS PERSONAL," ;
blithely answered Brown. j
Thus does Press Agent Brown let i
the cat out of the bag. The recal'.ers '
have nothing against Commissioner ;
Blair. They just threw the recall ;
mud at him to save their own faces i
in their efforts to get County Judge
Beatie whom they dislike because he
has not distributed '"plums" to "the
old bunch." He hasn't thrown bridge
contracts to Ed Olds, for instance,
and he has said quite plainly that he t
had not been impressed by the
ability of Olds as a contractor. And
he hasn'r. made members of the gang
road superviisors in short he has
disappointed "the bunch" quite a lit
tle, because he has been serving the ,
people and not "the bunch." j
And so the disgruntled ones are
peevish, and have set out to "get" .
him. And they just threw Blair in )
so that the people would not see that '
"the attack on Judge Beatie was .
personal."
Fine, superb patriotism, that. Glor
ious work for the public good, and
the advancement of Clackamas coun
ty. Something to be proud of, some
thing to inspire confidence.
What do you think about it?

SHASTA FLYER
SAVED BY HOBO
ASHLAND, Or., July 28 An un
known tramp saved the southbound
Shasta .Limited from probable dis
aster today by flagging it just before
it reached a buying bridge near Oak
land, Ore.
The train was late and was run
ning at high speed when the engineer
saw a fire on the track some distance
ahead. Alongside the track stood a
man waving a firebrand.
The train stopped and the man by
the track told the trainman that a
bridge some distance ahead was on
fir. Proceeding slowly, the train ap
proached the bridge, which was at
the end of a long curve. It was bad
ly damaged by the fire. Had the
train struck the bridge at the usual
rate of speed the structure would
have collapsed.
The train proceeded on its way af
ter some- hours' delay.

i -
WOMAN VOTER EVOLVES NEW PARTY
Majority of "New Citizens" Say
They. Favor Present County N
Administration Crowds
Keep Deputies Busy
In order to accomodate the rush of
voters who desire to register for the
recall election which, will be held
August 16, County Clerk Mulvey has
put on two extra deputies -in his of
fice, and has announced that on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday his
office will be open for registration
until eight in the evening. Friday,
me last day on wnicn voters can reg
ister, the office will be closed at
five in the afternoon.
Monday was the last of the five
days which the law gives the mem
bers of county court against whom
the recall is projected- to resign.
Neither County Judge R. B. Beatie
nor County Commissioner N. Blair
have resigned, and both declare that
they will "face the music" of the re
call. They express confidence in the
result of the ballolting. Tuesday
County Clerk Mulvey will issue the
call for the special election, which in
cidentally, will cost the county about
$4,000.
There was a steady stream of peo
ple passing into the county clerk's
office all day Monday to register,
the approach cf the, mil rf th
in which the books will be open evi
dently being fully sensed. With even
ing nours lor registration it is be
lieved that the rush will be just as
great. As on earlier days, the. great
erer proportion of the people were
women, anxious to inaugurate their
gift of the ballot by doing their ut
most to defeat the personal ambi
tion of the recallers. Practically
three-quarters of the women who reg
istered said that they were going to
vote for the retention in office of the
present county officers.
This idea was so much in mind
with one woman .that she evolves
for herself a new party. When the
recording deputy asked her what
party was her preference, she ans
wered: "Why, I'm a Beatioite, -of course."
"You mean your're a democrat,"
asked the deputy.
"No, I'm a republican, but this
isn't a nartv election t a vr
Judge Beatie, and I want you to put
ii aown. '
Te d"eputy explained that she woukt
have to register as a republican.
Indications are that by the time
the books close there will be over 80
per cent of the leeal voters nf the
county registered, so general is the
mieresi in me rortneoming election.
AU' citizens seem to realize that they
cannot do thfiir "Bantv In tho ropall
unless they are registered, and all
appear to want to express their opin
ion as to the futile charges that have
been raised by the recallers.' Citi
zens; all of them, who want to vote
on August 16, should bear in -.mind
that they must be reeisterfiil and
that the best time to register is to-
aay. do it nuw.

Problem of Procuring Warrants On

The question "is a circus a place
of amusement" is still unanswered to
the satisfaction of Sheriff E. T. Mass,
who last week was asked by threa lo
cal ministers to prevent the perform
ance near Oregon City next Sunay of
a "wild west show" on the ground
that the state Sabbath law prohibted
such attractions on- Sunday. Mr.
Mass put the matter up to Peputy
District Attorney Livy Stipp for an
opinion, -and Monday Mr. Stipp slip
ped the sheriff the following:
"In respect to the question as to
whether the 111 Ranch' may show on
Sunday recently referred to mie by
you, I will say:
"That section 2125, Lord's Oregon
Laws, provides "if any person shall
keep open any place of
amusement on the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday, or
the Lord's Day, such person upon
conviction thereof shall be punished
by a fine of not less than five dollars
nor more than fifty dollars, provided,
however, that the above provision
shall not apply to theatres. .
"Under the above provision if the
'101 Ranch' is a place of amusement
it will be unlawful ror it to kesp
open on Sunday."
