Near Where Man
Goes Down
Within sight of two brothers, who
were unable to help him, Severin
Erickson, 23 years of age, was
drowned about noon Sunday at the
lower end of Cedar Island, near Os
wego. Eriokson was unable to swim and
was paddling about in a canoe Sunday
afternoon while his brothers and "oili
er members of the picnic party were
sw'imming. When he reached the op
posite side of the river from the
swimmers, he became overbalanced,
upset the canoe and sank immediate
ly. Th.e brothers were too far away to
aid him. They later went to Port
land and secured the services of the
municipal grappler who found the
body near where the accident happen
ed. The body was taken to Erickson-s
home in Portland and turned over to
the coroner. He had lived in that
city for sometime at 565 Irving street.
Shortly after the accident, Coroner
Wilson was notified as were also the
authorities in Portland. The river
was dragged for sometime before the
body was discovered. The current
had ta'en it but a little way from the
place where the boat over turned and
the hooks entered the clothing and
brought the young man to the surface.
The accident had happened so quickly
that the brothers on the other side of
the river had been able to do nothing
and reached the spot only after the
boat had gone over and their brother
, had been thrown into the water.
BI8E0P DEDICATES

congregation. Bishop J. J. Lawler, of
St. Paul, an old schoolmate of Father
A. Hillebrand,- the pastor, delivered
a strong sermon on the further en
largement and bsautification of the
church and pointed out that whi'e
church members sometimes object to
raising funds for the furtherance of
Christian work, hey are willing to
spend their money lavishly and ex
travagantly in other ways.
Archbishop Christie had charge of
the dedication services of the morning
and Bishop Lawler was assisted at
mass by the pastor, Rev. A. Hillebrand
and Rev. F. S. Beck, Loesche's mass

man treatment. TI3 plaintiff cites
numerous instances in which she

reached such a state that she can live
with her husband no longer. They
were married in Oregon City July 20,

CLASS IN FIRST GAME
STATE HEALTH BOARD
BEGINS CAMPAIGN ON
TYPHOID GERMS
Back to the first cause and the pri
mary reason for the disease, the state
board of health will probe every sug
gestion that tends in any way to throw
light on the number of cases of ty
phoid feVer that have made their ap
pearance in Oregon City in the last
few months.
Specialists will be in the city in a
short time to get to the bottom of the
trouble and to determine each and ev
ery factor that has been at work here
during that time and that has result
ed in such an unprecedented number
of cases. Now that the city water
has been carefully examined by the
experts in the hunt for trouble breed
ing "bugs" and has been declared
pure, the state authorities propose to
find the real cause for' the epidemic
and to take such measures as may be
necessary to prev.ant a recurrence of
typhoid in the county.
Men who are experts in the handl
ing of all sorts of epidemics and in
tracing the cause of the disease to Its
source will soon be placed in charge
of the investigation and will make ev
ery effort to determine just what has
been responsible for the number of
cases that have been called to the at
tention of the local physicians.
So many factors may be encounter
ed by the campaign for the source of
the trouble that the investigators plan
to make the work thorough and com
pleta and to find the accurate and
full reason for the spread of the'dis
ease. With the. knowledge that they
can gain after several days or weeks
of study in and about the city, they
p'an to begin a campaign against the
tAnKlfl in1
aid the local authorities in every wayj
possible to prevent the city being ef-.
fected the same way again. -'i
RIOT
IS BIG FIZZLE
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 18 (Spe-'
cial) Following announcement in the
afternoon papers that Attorneys Sen
eca Fouts and John A. Jeffry would
test the Albee-Word "anti free speech"
campaign at Sixth and Oak street3
this evening, a crowd estimated by
the police at containing between 3,000
and 4 000 people, gathered along lower
Sixth street to watch developments.
At eight o'clock they saw Seneca
Fouts, candidate for district attorney
at last year's primaries, climb on a
soapbox and begin denouncing Sheriff
Tom Word as a four-flusher. One
minute later they saw Tom Word ar
rest Fouts and carry him off to the
county jail in his automobile.
John A. Jeffry watched the perform
ance and concluded not to test the
law himself.
The police then . arrived on the
scene in two platoons, and ordered the
crowd to move on. Four youths didn't
move fast enough, and were arrested.
Then the crowd dwindled rapidly, and
half and hour later there was no
sign of excitement.
Seneca Fouts was held in the cohn
ty jail for 20 minutes, after which he
was released in $25 bail. .

KAFFIR CORN FAVORABLE
FOOD FOR HOGS
Kaffir corn as a food for hogs is
rapidly taking a firm hold on the
farmers of Clackamas county. Secre
tary Freytag of the Commercial club
received Monday an ,excellent stand
of the corn from the farm of Judge G.
B. Dimjck, one of the most up to date
stock ranches in the state. A clean

cue and other features of entertain
ment will be Included in the program
Tha classified ad columns of Tha
Enterprise satisfy your wants. .
Conferences with the doctors of the
City and county will be held by the
state authorities in the next few day3
and a full report of the facts of each
case will be made to the investigator
in charge. With these reports in his
hands, he will try to determine
whether or not there is a suggestion
that will lead him to the source of the
trouble and that will give the author
ities something to work on in their
fight against the disease.
Just now, the local and state author
ities are puzzled as to the cause of
the epidemic. Its unprecedented
spread through so many families iu
the city and through the county has
Deen a cause of concern to many phy
sicians. Though reasons may be as
signed for the typhoid in a few of the
homes, the doctors cannot understand
why it should have spread through
so many of them and are confident
mat there is a primary cause some
where that, when found, will enable
them to combat it successfully.
It will probably take the doctors
several days before they have a com
plete report on all of the cases that
have occurred here and a basis on
which to begin their investigations.
After that report is received, they
plan to leave no stone unturned that
will give them an inkling of the hid
ing place of the typhoid laden "bug -
Secretary Freytag and the members
or the Oregon City Commercial club
plan to co-operate with the state board
m exterminating the disease and in
finding the reason for its attack on
so many families in the city The
club has promised the board its'heart
lest co-operation and will exert every
effort to get for the. doctors the in
formation that they will need in their
campaign.
RANSACK
Vandals Have been ransacking the
burned buildings on Main street and
have taken a large number of valuable
Chinaware from the place where the
restaurant formerly stood. Some of
the goods is of the finest and was un-'
harmed by the- intense heat ' of the
fire. Matresses, beds, anything and
everything of value that the vandals
could lay their hands. upon has been
taken from the site of the fire as rap
idly as possible and it is estimated
that a considerable amount of valu
able goods has been stolen.
Mpst of the stock that was untouch
ed by the flames consists of goods
from the restaurant and includes the
best Chinaware, canned fruit, canned
and boxed foods of all kinds. There
is still about $200 worth of plate and
stock that was not damaged by the
fire and that can still be used. Part of
this has been taken from the burned
buildings and cannot be recovered.
GRIP HARD TIMES
NEW YORK, Aug. 18. A number of
the New York playhousese open theii
doors tonight, and another week or
two will see the theatrical season of
1913-14 begun in earnest. The tflesp
ians who have "signed up" are happy
that an end has come to "our sum-,
mer of discontent." But many of the
prominent flayers and virtually all
of the managers are viewing the pros
pect with feelings of donbt. Last sear
son was a poor one from a financiaT
viewpoint and it is feared that the
season about to begin may be worse.
Evidence of the general feeling that
prevails in the ."profession" is afford
ed by the fact that numerous actors
and actresses whose names never ap
pear except in the largest type hae
spent nearly all of this summer tour
ing the Pacific coast and western Can
ada or appearing in stock companies
in various cities and resorts. They
have passed up their customary vaca
tions in order to recoup their losses
of last year or to fatten this pocket
books in anticipation of a lean year
to come. -
The "movies" are blamed in large
part for the hard times that have
come to the actors. MJany of the crit
ics however, attribute the situation to
the changing taste of the public and
the failure of the producers to rightly
interpret the public pulse. To use a
popular phrase, the managers are "up
in the air" as to just what the public
desires in the way of theatrical en
tertainment. The old-time melodrama
is dead, the plays of the higher ord6r
fail to draw as in days of old, and even
the musical shows appear to be on the
wan. Some of the big managers are
pinning their faith to elaborate musi
cal reviews and spectacular produc
tions, but these will not be put on un
til late in the season. Many of the
leading players are ' playing safe by
beginning the season with their suc
cesses of last year.
