PEOPLE FOR MORE DATA
AS TO SERVICE

Shippers Are Asked to Give Any In
formation at Hand as to Ir
regularities in Charges
or Other Details
F. J. Tooze, chairman of the com
mittee appointed by Mayor Janes to
investigate the rates of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company, has
issued a call to all of the citizens of
the county for information as to un
fair charges or unsatisfactory service
rendered by the company.
The chairman calls attention to the
fact that lie has but a few days in
which to gather the data that the rail
road commission of the state will need
at its hearing on the second of next
month and that lie will need all of the
assistance that the people of the city
and the county can give him.
Makes Statement
He said Saturday night: "The
chairman of the committee that will
take up the matters relating to the
charges, rates, and services . of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power com
pany requests the citizens of Oregon
City to report at once to him or the
other members of the committe any
irregularity in rates or changes or un
satisfactory service rendered. The
committee has put a few days in which
to prepare for the hearing and is de
sirous of being fair, both to the com
munity and to the company. Any in
formation that can be furnished will
be appreciated."
The committee has been hard at
work on the question of rates since the
day when the mayor made the ap
pointment. It has gone into the ques
tion of service that the company has
given to the city and has studied the
matters that will be taken up by the
railroad commission of the state when
it canvenes next month. Some really
valuable data will be ready for the
hearing at that time.
"REM MONEY" AT
HEILIG THIS WEEK
SCENE IN "READY .MONEY
"Ready Money," James Montgom
ery's comedy of love and romance
which William A. Brady Ltd., will
present at the Heipg theatre, 11th and
Morrison streets, six nights beginning
Sunday, August 21t.h, with a bargain
matinee Tuesday and a special price
matinee Friday, has the distinction of
being distinctively out of the beaten
path, in fact its possess an individual
ity all its own.
The love story is told in a comedy
vein, with tense and exciting moments
mixed in, but the element of the' weep
ing drama, is absent. The sentiment
'is the love and romance as women are
things about it to-day. It tells a story
of a young man who makes a success
just at the time when things look dark
est for him, and affords a lesson in
encouragement that cannot fail to
make an impression on its beholders.

FAMILY STARTS SEARCHING PARTY
Father Discovers Son on Hayden's
Island After Disappearance For '
Four Days Is Well
and Safe
After leaving home Wednesday
morning and disappearing from sight
until Saturday night, George C. Crit
eser, 12 years old, was found on the
north end of Hayden's Island with his
brother Ernest,- by his father Newt
Criteser who had started to search
for him.
The boy had taken the electric cars
at his home in New Era about 11
o'clock Wednesday morning and told
his 14-year-old sister that he was go
ing to Canby. On his way, he stopped
at the home of his uncle E. V. Veteto
and told the family that he was mak
ing his way to Oregon City and would
return on a late car.
Instead, he took the car to Port
land and hunted for his brother until
he found him where he was construct
ing a launch on the island. He had
been m Portland but once before,
about a year ago, but he managed to
find the place that he was hunting for
without getting lost for any. length of
time. The family had been worried
about the boy's strange disappearance
and had started searching parties out
after him.
Shortly after the description of the
child had been furnished, the father
called uo The Enterprise from Port
land and announced that he found the
boy with the older brother and that
the child had walked around until he
had found the place toward which he
was going.
The child's description was given as
12 years old, light complexion, blue
eyes, four feet 10 inches, 90 pounds,
dark blue suit, knee trousers , light
blue shirt, dark striped knit tie, and
brown hat.
BUSY DAY IN CITY
Dr. T. B. Ford,, pastor of the Mbth-
odist Episcopal church, believes that
James and Estella Crooks, the evan
gelists who are to conduct the serv
ices at the tent on Eighth and Jackson
streets are of the old fastened variety
that "our fathers knew and that we
ought to know more about."
He said Saturday night: "They are
worthy members of the church, are
free from 'come-outism' and from re
ligious fanaticism, have no cpnnec
tions whatever with the 'holly roller
ism' or other similar cults, and will
conduct a revival of the kind that bur
fathers knew and that we ought to
know more about,"
Dr. Ford has invited Mr. Crooks to
preach for him Sunday morning as
well as at the union services in the
church.
The St. John's Catholic church will
give its annual picnic at Canemah
Park Sunday afternoon. Refresh
ments will be served, games played,
contests and races scheduled on the
program.
Rev. O. R. Jenks, president of Aur
oraa, 111. College, will preach at the
Presbyterian church Sunday morning.
In the evening, the churches of the
city will unite with the Methodists in
their revival services.
SPEEDERS ARE TO BE
PUSHED HEREAFTER
A special officer, mounted on a mo
torcycle that will outrun any automo
bile fiend in the county, has begun
work on north Main street where the
paved thoroughfare is now being used
for a speedway. Mayor Jones has de
clared war against the drivers of cars
who break the city's speed laws and
proposes to keep the officer on duty
until he checks the tendency to speed
up when the cars reach the upper
end of the street. '
The city -has special trouble with
touring parties from Portland who vis
it the town on Sunday, using the street
for a speedway. The police have
hitherto been unable to catch the
speeders for they have not been equip
ped with stop watches and could not
follow them long enough to get their
exact rate of speed.
The new motorcycle policeman, how
ever, will be at work most of the time
and will follow the speeders until he
has arrested and taken them to, the
station for breaking the city laws.

CE ACTION
i Bud Anderson, the lightweight fa- .
! vorite of the Northwest, is named as
i the corespondent in a divorce action
i by Guy Pace against his wife, Maud
Pace.
The husband charges that the prize
fighter has alienated his wife's affec-
tions and that he has taken her out
automobile riding numbers of times
and has kept her out until after mid
night on nearly every one of them.
Time and again the two have been to
gether, the husband says, in spite of
his most earnest remonstrances and '
requests until the matter has reached
such a stage that "he could live with r
her no longer and has brought suit for
the severage of the marriage ties. .
From the complaint, it appears that -Anderson
came to Oregon City in an
automobile during the early part of -the
month and that he took Mlrs. Pace ,
out for a ride and did not return until
after 12 o'clock.
Writes Love Letters.
The husband recites how his wife
wrote love letters trf the prize fighter
and how she called him all sorts of
endearing and affectionate names.
Their desire to be together brought
them into each, other's company on
many occasions, he says, and mentions
numbers of auto excursions that they
took in spite of his protests and com
plaints. Nothing that he could do or say had
any weight with the wife whose infatu
ation for the fighter inp reased, accord
ing to the story, and the trips grew
more frequent and regular. , The pres
ence of his wife in the company cf the
other man and the fact that she never
returned after the midnight hour of- -ten
caused him a great deal of worry
and mental anguish,- he complains, and
finally drove him to the point where .
he could no longer live with her in
domestic happiness.
Spins are Frequent
While Anderson was in Portland, he
frequently made visits to Oregon City
by automobile, the husband says, and
took the wife out for spins to Port
land and return. The expeditions al
ways lasted through the entire even
ing, he alleges. He says that Ander
son has so far aienated his wife's af
fections that she wrote love letters
to him, using all sorts of endearing
and affectionate terms. ,'
They were married in Portland on :
Christmas Day, 1910, and have lived
in "Oregon City the greater portion of
that time since.
Gertrude C. Baker brought suit in
tbe Circuit court Friday for a divorce
decree from her husband, Isaac Baker,
on the grounds of cruelty. They were
married in Portland May 30, 1901, and
have a son, William Joseph Baker,
eight years old. The wife, in her
complaint, asks that the court allow
the child to remain with either parent
for six months during the year and
that a decree be entered to prevent
one or the other from taking the child
outside of the court's jurisdiction.
