BEAVER CREEK LOCAL GOES ON
RECORD AS OPPOSED TO
SCHUEBEL METHODS
LEADER OF MOVEMENT "DANGEROUS"
Unanimtfjs Action of Farmers is Sad
Blow to Hopes of Political
Clique Opposing Coun
ty Officials
Beaver Creek local, of the Farmers'
Society of Equity, took a slap at the
recall movement against County
Judge R. B. Beatie and County Com
missioner Blair, as well as at one of
. the leaders behind it, at its last meet
' ing, when resolutions were . unanim-
nilfilv aonf-orl tn tho ntfan tiaf Roar
er Creek local would have nothing
further to do with Robert Schuebel,
as it considered him a man dangerous
to the welfare of the Equity society.
Beaver Creek local is one of the
largest and most influenjtial locals of
the county,, and carries much weight
in Equity society affairs. Schuebel,
the man against whom the resolutions
were directed, has been a prime
mover in the recall plans, was the
leader and chief investigator of the
charges presented against the county
officials, and was the man who had
most to do with making out the report
of Messrs. Brown, Schuebel and Cas
to, which declared" that the charges
were found to be true. Following the
submission of this report, many of its
allegations were later admitted to be
untrue, and this was excused upon the
grounds that the investigating com
mittse had insufficient facts at its dis
posal. Throughout the recall agitation
Schuebel has been a frequent contrib
utor to the columns of The Courier,
the organ of the recallers, and has
bitterly attacked Judge Beatie as a
county official. It is said that his
biased charges, and his evident mo
tive to sse nothing but wrong in the
management of the county affairs,
brought about the action of the Beav
er Crek local.
William Grissenthwaite, who was
one of the strong candidates for the
recall nomination for county judge, is
secretary of the Beaver Creek local
of the Equity society, and is a mau
who has heretofore been high in the
councils of the recallers. He is at
present a member of the financial
committee of the recall movement.
The fact that he joined in the resolu
tion against Schuebel is regarded as

MEMBERS OF CONGREGATIONS
BELIEVE LAW EMPOWERS
THEM TO .TAKE ACTION
MINISTERS GIVE UP ENDEAVORS
Pastors Themselves Admit Code Pro
vides No Way to Prevent Per
formance, But Laity
May Make Attempt
Local ministers who have been car
rying qh a campaign to prevent the
performance here next Sunday of a
wild West show gave up their fight
Thursday, and admitted that they be
lieved, after due investigation, that
there was no provision of the law
which empowered Sheriff E. T. Mass
to stop the performance. They w-ere
warm in their commendation of the
sheriff's willingness to do all that
the Jaw permits him to do; but said
that they were convinced that the
statute dealing with Sunday amuse
ments made provision for the pun
ishment of any save the "person who
keeps open" one of the stipulated
places mentioned in the law.
While the ministers appear to have
given up the fight opposition to the
circus is not passed by any means.
Prominent church members, who have
flocked to the support of their pasiors
have been looking up the law upon
their own responsibility, and have de
cided that they can act as special of
ficers of the law without commission.
They plan to try their hand at stop
ping the show, it is reported, and will
"arrest" performers who mSy attempt
to put on their various acts.
The men who plan to do this base
their authority upon section 1768, of
Lord's Oregon Laws, which reads:
"A private person may arrest an
other for the-causes specified in sec
tion 1763 in like manner and with like
effort as a peace officer without war
rant.
The section referred to in this
reads as follows: "A " peace officer
may without warrant arrest a person,
(1) for a crime committed or attempt
ed in his presence; (2) when the per
son arrested has committed a felony
although not in his presence; (3)
when a felony in fact has been com
mitted and he has reasonable cause
for believing the parson arrested to
have committed it."
In these sections the churchmen be
lieve they find authority to do what
Sheriff E. T. Mass does not believe
he can do arrest the performers of
the coming show. They have taken
legal advice, and have bean told that
any person connected in any way
with a Sundav amusement is guilty of
a violation of the law, and they in
tend to arrest upon this opinion. Dep
uty District Attorney Stipp, in giving
his opinion to the sheriff at first ex
pressed the belief that the perform
ance was a violation of the law, and
it is upon this ruling, and not' upon
the later conception of the law, that
the churchmen intend to act.
Sheriff Mass refused Thursday to
comment any further upon the "circus
question" save to reiterate that ho
would arrest "the person who keeps
open" the show. The sheriff , says
that is as far as the law will permit
him to go, and admits that he may be
restrained from doing that.
Governor West, for whom the ob
jecting ministers have prepared a let
ter of protest, is not at -Salem, and
will not return to the capital uni:il
late Saturday night.
WORK ON ELEVATOR
IS NOW UNDER WAY
Excavation work . for the municipal
elevator that will carry people up the
face of the bluff at Seventh street
has been commenced, the present f
fort being devoted to clearing out the
end of Seventh street right up to th?
Southern Pacific property line. After
the street has been cut back into the
rai'road embankment to t:e right-of-way
border, the sinking of a pit for
e concrptp fnniiflntifin nf thr tnwpr
will be started.
In order to support the tower the
foundations will be carried well down,
probably to the buried talus of the
river bluff unless a rock founmation
is struck first. Just how deep it will
be necessary to sink the foundations
has no tyet been determined. The
foundations, aside from supporting
the weight of the tower, will also en
close the hydraulic cylinder in which
the elevator plunger will operate.
From the top of the tower, when it
is completed, a bridge will be swung
to the top of the bluff, thus affording
a means of ingress an egress to the
upper landing of the lift. In order to
support the eastern end of this bridge
secondary foundations will also be
laid at the top of the bluff when the
city has acquired property rights
thereon. ' v

STRICT ORDINANCE IS NOW LAW
WITH MOST RIGID
PROVISIONS
COLLARS, MUZZLES, TOGS DEMANDED
Only "Free Territory" Left for Ca
nines in District is at Park
place Rabies Epidemic
Controlled
Gladstone's city council Thursday
night passed finally the strict ordin
ance providing for the licensing, muz
zling and restraining of dogs within
the city limits, and the measure was
signed by ths acting mayor, becoming
a' law at once. The statute provides
that every dog must wear a collar to
which -must be attached a brass li
cense tag, that during the summer
months the animal must be muzzlad
in such a way as to conform .with the
requirements of the Oregon Humane
Society's rulesf. 3nd also provides
penalties for failure to observe" its
various sections, and a penalty for in.
terfering with any municipal officer
who is taking a dog to the pound.
One peculiar provision of the law
provides that any dog that is killed in
the city pound,-or made. away with by
order of the city officials, must be
taken outside the limits of the city
and buried. No departed canines are
to be interred within the city.
By the passage of this ordinance,
Gladstone gets in line with Oregon
City, Portland and other leading com
munities, and provides steps which
should go a long way towards pre
venting the spread of any future epi
demics of rabies. The Gladstone law
is the most strict of any in the state,
and under its provisions dogs will
have to be mighty careful of their
conduct if they do not violate some of
its provisions.
About the only spot left where -dogs
can do as they please in the lower val-
ly ' now is Parkplace, which has no
provisions of its own in regard to ca
nines, and which is not included in
the district effected by the general or
der recently posted by the State Live
stock Sanitary commission. Park
place, either because of this, or
through a coincidence, has been the
scene of a number of attacks on peo
ple by unrestrained canines.
County Veterinarian Eddy, who has
been keeping careful watch on dogs
and stock that have recently bsea
suspected, of hydrophobia infection
saj s that none of the animals now un
i'pr fgrrva'icn chow symptoms of
I ike disease, and ha hopes that it is
stamped out. Dogs t' at were known
to have been suffering from infection
were killed. The big bulldog that
last week created considerable of a
panic in Gladstone and throughcut the
surrounding country, and which later
cam 9 home in an apparently normal
condition, has since then shown no
signs of being effected.
Dogs that have been confined in
the Oregon City pound have also ap
peared to be all right, and have been
released. It is not believed that there
are any animals in the county at large
at present that have rabies, and un
less some new animal runs in from
outside, no further trouble is ex
pected. LONDON'S CLOTHES
WONDERFUL INDEED
LONDON, July 31 The silly sea
son is on in full swing in London. One
of the most unmistakable evidences
of it is given in men's fashions, which
would seem to be in a state of transi
tion. The gaudy sock, the spat, white
or colored, the broad shoe lace, are
as though they never were. They are
tabooed.
The latest craze is the rest suit, to
be worn on a quiet evening after din
ner, or for bachelor tea parties. Here
is a full description of one, worn, it is
said by a well known peer. It is of
dark green watered silk, with revers
of old gold, the coat being edged with
olive green silk braid. The suit is
loosely cut with wide trousers and is
worn with a colored silk shirt, ?::-ft
turn down collar and bow tie, socks f
silk and gorgeous Oriental slippers.
AFTER 20 YEARS
After having been in service for 20
years, the wiring in the city hall is
being replaced by modern electrical
equipment, following the condemna
tion of the old work by the fire under
writers. Fireproof and insulated con
duits are being placed throughout the
old structure, and new fixtures and
chandeliers jvill be installed as soon
:.s up-to-date wiring has been run in.
Accomodation is also being made for
wires for the fire alarm system soon
to be placed in service, so that a cen
tral recording station may be main
tained. The old wiring was done in a hap
hazzard way, and the workmen en
gaged in tearing out the former lines
had considerable difficulty in finding
some of the routings. In one case
two hours were spent in a search for
a couple of wires, so they could be re
moved without undue damage to ceil
ings, only to have it later discovered
that the wires were merely tacked
along the outside of the building.
The old wire was of excellent grada,
however, and is still in good shape.
It will be Bold for what it will bring

RECALLERS SECURE BARELY
NOUGH SIGNATURES TO
GET UPON BALLOT
MISREPRESENTATION IS RAMPANT
Anderson and Simth Nominated "By
Petition" After Nearly Two
Weeks of Desperate
' Scurrying .
Ttough petition circulators are
busily canvassing the county, and al
though nearly two weeks have elaps
ed since H. .S. Anderson and J. W.
Smith were nominated at a slimly at
tended convention as the recall can
didates for county judge and county
commissioner, promoters of tha move
ment seem to be having difficulty in
getting - their nominating petitions
signed. A bare sufficiency to secure
the placing of these two names on the
ballot was secured Thursday night
when W. H. Hagemann filed with the
county clerk two petitions one, for
Smith bearing 252 signatures, and one
for Anderson bearing 255 .signatures.
The recallers are expending every
energy to keep enthusiasm in their
plans alive and are even falsely rep
resenting the number of names that
were signed to the petitions for the
election. These petitions had but a
margin of 200 over the required num-
oer 10 cover errors ot raulty signa
tures in case they had been checked,
yet circulators of the nominating pe
titions are representing that the pe
titions carried 3.400 names.
John R. Co'.e of Molalla, is one of
those who reports the methods em
ployed. "A man with a petition came
to me and asked me to sign it, saying
there were 3,400 voters who had ask
ed that the county court be recalled.
This seemed to me like a much larger
number than I had been informed had
signed the petitions, and upon investi
gation I found that it was just about
double," he said.
There were exactly 1,748 signatures
upon the petition to recall Judge
Beatie, and 1,720 on the petition
against County Commissioner Blair.
Practically everybody who signed one
petition signed the other.
The scant 250 names upon the nom
inating petition are sufficient to get
the names of Anderson and Smith up-,
on the ballot, the law requiring but 3
percent of the voters.-. Many who
signed the recall petitions refused to
sign those nominating the men named
by the "convention" of 17 that was
he'd in Oregon City.
County Clerk Mulvey is accepting
the petitions on their face value, and
is not attempting to check over tha
nmes, to see if all are legal voters, or
whether there are repititions or .forg
eries. He says that as long as the
circulators have sworn to them, re
sponsibility for their correctness must
iie with them, and they must stand
any puniphment for inaccuracies that
may later be discovered.

The barn on the Ri vprmnn ranpll
near New Era, was totally destroyel
by fire Thursday morning, and five
head of stock were killed in the blaze,
which caused a loss of between $8,000
and $10,000. The fire is believed to
nave siartea in some . new hay that
was stored in the lower Dart of tht
structure, and quickly spread to 109
tons of baled hay that was also under
cover.
Three horses, all valimhi anA twn
calves were killed before they could
be removed from the barn, which was
one of the largest in the county, and
wnicu naa Desn erected but a short
time. Neighbors and men employed
upon the ranch fought the flames,
but without success, and the building
was completely destroyed.
Much valuable farm mar.hinsrv was
also in the great structure, and this
was ruinea by tne heat. The smoke
from the blazing hay was seen for
many miles, and scores of people
hastened to the scene of the fire to
give what assistance they could. The
loss will be partially met by insur
ance. ...
