At a special meeting of the council Wednesday morning a plumbing ordin ance was introduced which it is hoped will provide modern regulations for all forms of household sanitation installed in this city in the future. The ordin ance was drawn mainly by Council man Tooze, and is far-reaching in its provisions. One feature of it provides for the appointment of a competent plumbing inspector, who need not necessarily be a resident of Oregon City. . A report was received from City At torney Stone, to whom the matter of the purchase of the rock-crusher had been referred, and which expressed the belief that while the present own er of the rock-crusher might not be able to transfer his rights to the rock ledge to' the city, the city cou'.d, upon purchase of the rock-crusher, obtain the same rights and privileges. The rock ledge in question has been pur chased by the water commissioners, and there was some doubt - as to whether or not the ctiy would be able to quarry stone from it if it purchased the crusher located thereon. At the last meeting of the council Mr. Tooze, chairman of a special com mittee acting in this matter, recom mended the purchase by- the city of the rock-crusher if operative rights could be secured from the water com mission, pointing out that under muni cipal operation the crusher would probably save the city at least $1,200 a year on street maintenance and 1m provement work. Since that me? a petition, begging, the councjlBor to buy the enrfher, haslwTHiirculated A. C. I If i n ifr'HT i M. Templeton er. The petition was not presented to the coucil, and early in th week contained the names of lght people, three of whom were circulators. The council also took steps to cre ate a district in the business section of the city within the limits of which no further construction of frame build ings will be allowed. It is believed the creation of fire limits of this na ture will not only make for the con struction of more substantial struc tures, but will also bring about a re duction in local insurance rates, which are at presenf regarded -as excessive. Against th3 advice of City Attorney Stone and City Recorder Livy Stipp, the council voted not ttLDft'a disputed claim of some $500 sought by the Ore gon Engineering & Construction com pany. Both attorneys said that they thought the city could be compelled to pay the claim if suit was brought. Much routine business was also c'.eared from the calendar. WHICH PLATFORM WILL STAND? but.

Not mentioning Dr. Cook, whose word is still doubted in some places, there -is C. Carlson, of Wyoming, Minn., who not so long ago made a trip to Oregon City, and whb then went home and told about the grain and other produce that he saw here. People in Carlson's home intimated politely but forcibly that he said he saw was quite impossible, and said that though they were Minnesotaans, instead of Missourians, they would have to be "shown." That is why Secretary Preytag, of the Commercial club received a .letter Wednesday asking him to send to Mr. Carlson samples of grain "five feet tall aud ever," such as Carlson saw when he was here. Carlson wants to show his home folks that he was just lot mora truthful than Dr.. Cook. Also he is going to boost 'for Clackamas county.. ... ' . . . .

The dwelling was the early home of the Morey family, but recently had been used only as the selling office of the firm that is handling the tracts. Fred Morey, local agent for the company, also made his home in the building. The fire broke out snortly after six in the evening, apparently from the large fire-place on the ground floor. The flames spread rapidly, and early in their progress burned off wires which furnished power for a pumping plant on the property, thus making it impossible to fight the fire. With no water with which to combat the flames, attention was turnei to saving the furnishings of the home, many of which are of great historic value. Practically everything of intrinsic worth'was removed from the building, which was burned to the ground. Estimates of the loss vary from $5,000 to $10,000. The house was large in size, and was of massive con struction.

West Linn, which is to be the name of the proposed city on the west shore of the Willamette river, oppostie Ore gon City, holds its incorporation elec tion today. It is expected that there will be-an overwhelming vote in favor of creating the new municipality, and that there will be practically no oppos ition. A tentative charter for the new city has already been drawn, most of the preliminary arrangements have been made at meeting of the citizens of the district. The idea of incorpora tion was first broached, at a meeting of the West Side Improvement associa tion, and since then has been eagerly endorsed. . Following the incorporation of the city it is planned to extend the bound aries so as to embrace the present ctiy of Willamette to the south. This will make one continuous municipality from Willamette to Bolton.- Elaborats plans for the improvement of the ter ritory have already been formulated. , Most satisfactory reports as to the purity of Oregon City water have been received by W. H. Hoell, of the board of water commissioners, who recently sent to Dr. Victoria Hampton samples of water taken from hydrants or faucets- in six of the houses in this city where there are cases of typhoid fever. In submitting the report Dr. Hampton says: . "1 have carefully analysed the samples of water which you submitted to me for analysis. The samples re exceedingly pure, as shown by the free and albuminoid amonia, . which they contain. These six samples each con tain 3.2" grains of mineral matter per gallon, are free from all poisonous metals, contain' only traces of chlorine, and are samples of potable waters of the first class." The samples were taken at Eighth and Taylor streets, Jfferson between Fifth and Sixth streets. Eleventh and Center streets, . Seventh and Water street, Eighteenth - and Jefferson streets and on Eleventh .street. Water from Fuga's well on Ninth street, from the Vaga'.ious well, from Boss's well, from the Frendle well and from the Ely well on Seventh street were also submitced for analysis, and the report upon them says, in part: :. "They all are contaminated waters, and are unfit for domestic purposes unless, they ara boiled .before being used, as is shown by the amount of free and albumonoid ammonia which they contain, together with the amount of chlorine." These two tests bear out the state ment of City Health Officer Norris that the .city water in Oregon City is perfectly good at the present time, and that there is practically no chance of its being responsible for the ty phoid cases. They also bear out the fears entertained that all well water in the city is contaminated, and is un fit for drinking purposes.

FRANTIC PLEAS SHOW WEAKNESS ORIGINAL ALLEGATIONS ARE AD MITTED FUTILE; NEW COM PLAINTS MADE MISREPRESENTATION IS CONFESSED Retractions By Leaders Cause Scurry ings About to Bolster Cause Schuebel Says Beatie Truthful With ilie recall election, at which County Judge R. B. Beatie and County Commissioner N. iair will go before the pjcple for justification, but two days off, there appears to-be a startl ing change of metho;! en iUe part of those who are seeking the official scalps of these men. Frantic efforts are being made by the "recal lers" to bolster up their case against the coun ty court by bringing in issues hereto fore not mentioned in the fight, and the original charges preferred by the backers of the movement seem to be entirely forgotten. The last issue of The Courier, the organ of the recall, contains a fren zied charge that "big business" is backing the county court, and declares that "hundreds of voters believe" that various sums, ranging from $7,000 to $50,000 could have been saved and various things not been done. But the original charges upon which the re call is supposed to be based are not mentioned at all, save wh sre vague al lusions are made to alleged extravag ances and mismanagement.. In short the "recallers" seem to have abandoned all their original com plain ,s and allegations, and to be sek-ing-sometbing now as a basis of at tack upon the county officials. This is probabl: du3 to a large extent to the retractions hat many cf t'ie recall leaders have made during the prog ress of th?j movemen.., and to the ad missions that ave been forreJ from them to the effect that many f their charges cannot be supported by any kind of evidence. . A statement issued -Ms w."ok by Robert Schuebel, one of the "investi gating committee." to tfie effect that Judge Beatie's refutation - .of the charges is perfectly true, is one of the hardest blows that the recall move ment has received. Added to this many people are not taking the figures put forth by the recall leaders at their face value, but are going to the coun ty treasuer's office", and to the county clerk, to obtain their own figures. Such people are discovering discrep ancies of a striking nature in the al legations of the recallers, and are naturally doubting other charges which are equally non-supported. The bold manner in which the two county officia's .under fire have faced and answered every change made against them has also gone far to win public favor, and this has added to the desperation of the enemies of the (Continued on Page Eight.
