CLASH OF ROADS
IS
CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN INSISTS
- THAT PORTLAND LINE SIGN
AGREEMENT AT ONCE
WORK STOPS AT CROSSING LINE
Local Official Thinks Other Company
Wanted Excuse for Delay in
' " Reaching Moialla on Speci
fied Time
A clash between the Clackamas
Southern and the Portland, Eugene
& Eastern was averted when the offi
cials of the Portland company stopp
ed the work on their lines at Liberal
upon the orders of the representatives
of the Clackamas line.
. Because the Portland company had
not signed the crossing agreement in
spite of the fact that it is said to ha-ve
had it for several months, the officials
of the Clackamas Southern refused to
allow them to make the crossing at
Liberal and ordered the work stop
ped until the agreement was signed.
F. M. Swift, general manager of the
Southern, was notified Friday after
noon that the agreement had, at least,
been signed by the Portland line and
he instructed him men to allow the
other company to put in the crossing
in accordance with the terms of the
understanding.
According to F. M. Swift, the oppo
sition road has an agreement to enter
Mjolalla on September 19 and that it
sees it is an impossible feat to make
the connections by that time. He be
lieves that the road, as an excuse,
wanted to declare that the Southern
had been the cause of the delay and
had not allowed its lines to cross at
the Liberal junction.
Mr. Swift also says that he has of
fered no opposition to the other line
and has made no effort to prevent
its getting into Moialla on time but
that he did insist that the company
should sign the crossing agreement be
fore an inch of track was laid at the
junction point.
The difficulty between the two
roads came yesterday as did also the
settlement of the difference of opin
ion that has existed.
FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
DR. SCHULTZE EXPLAINS
Oregon City, Oregon, Sept. 5.
Editor The Enterprise: Oblige by
printing the following statement anent
your designation of me as "county
health officer" in The Enterprise, a
title which 1 did not affix to my com
munication. I was appointed county health of
ficer at the regular August term of
the county court upon the recommen
dation of the Clackamas County Med
ical Association, an honor and a
mark of confidence which I highly
appreciated. However, when I thor
oughly, investigated the facts connect
ed with the removal of my efficient
predecessor, Dr. J. W .Norris, I dis
covered that the charges against him
were unfair, unjust and untrue, and
that the campaign for his removal
had been carried on by certain parties
with "malice prepense and evil afore
thought". I therefore respectfully declined the
appointment and united my efforts
with my fellow practitioners in re
questing the re-appointment of Dr.
Norris. My declination was handed
to the county court last Wednesday
at its September term, and was doubt
less accepted.
W. C. SCHULTZE.
PREACHER SUGGESTS NAME
Oregon City, September 5, (Editor
of the Enterprise): According to this
morning's paper Dr. J. W. Norris
cannot be reappointed county health
officer and several other doctors of
Oregon City have declined to serve.
I would like to suggest that there is
another competent physician in Ore
gon City who has not declined and
who has shown his practical interest
in the city's welfare by his efficient
service as chairman of the civic com
mittee of the Live Wires. I refer to
Dr. J. A. Van Brakle. I understand
that Dr. Van Brakle has had a thor
ough training in a reputable medical
college. As graduates of this insti
tution are licensed by the state mel-
ical board of Oregon it would seem
that he would be eligible. Although
a comparatively new comer in Ore
gon City he has shown a disinterest
ed public spirit in cleaning up the
city ana i am sure would prove ac
tive and faithful as health officer
for the county. I would beg leave to
respectfully commend him to the con
sideration of the county board.

AVERTED
ROAD'S FIRST
MILE IS DONE
RECORD MADE IN GRADING WORK
ON PORTLAND & OREGON
CITY LINES
TOWNS WANT PLANS CHANGED
Ask Alteration in Routes of New Road
so They Will be Included When
Construction Is Fin
ished The first mile of grading for the
new Portland & Oregon City Railroad
was completed Friday. This is a ra
ther record in preliminary construc
tion, considering the fact that actual
work on the new line was begun only
two weeks ago.
The work which is being rushed by
Mr. Carver as rapidly as possible,
started on the Webster Acre tracts,
near MUwaukie, and the graders,
about fifty in number have been work
ing each way. If the pace is kept up,
it is thought that within 60 days the
rade will have been completed as far
this way as the Clackamas river.
James Roots of Bormg, was in Ore
gon City Friday afternoon, after hav
ing passed through the grading camp.
He is extremely enthusiastic over the
new line and says th eroad will be
new line and says the road will be
months. Mr. Carver is personally in
charge of the grading work at the
present time, and according to Mr.
Roots, there is no doubt from the
way the work is progressing that he
means business.
Parkplace Survey
Tomorrow a tentative survey will be
made through Parkplace, following a
meeting held there a week or so ago,
when Parkplace citizens asked that
the right of way be laid through their
town. After the survey is made a
committee of Parkplace citizens under
the chairmanship of Captain J. T.
Apperson will make strenuous .efforts
to secure a right of way for the new
line. If they succeed and pressure
can be brought to bear upon Carver,
the line will probably cross into Park
place near the S .P. bridge and will
be of great benefit to the citizens of
that locality.-
At all events the line will make a
deep cut through Gladstone, parallel
ing the S. P. tracks and meeting the
county road just below the Chautau
qua park, where the line as now sur
veyed runs along Arlington street and
crosses the Clackamas river at a point
over the island.
It now develops that the line is to
pass farther east through Milwaukie
than formerly contemplated, as' the
people of that section are hot after
the new line. It is now contemplated
to skirt the eastern boundary of Mil
waukie and likely run through the
Minthorn addition to Portland.
More men and teams are wanted in
the construction work, especially more
men to clear and keep ahead of the
graders who are making phenomenal
progress. The right of way has prac
tically all been secured between
Gladstone and Milwaukie.

SCHOOL PRIZE LIST
IS NOT YET REODY
(Continued from page 1)
reason for the delay in getting the
premium lists ready for the printer
was given. Many of the other districts
of the county have had their lists in
the hands of the printer for some
time and have had no trouble with
their merchants and business men in
getting, all of the appropriations that
they have needed for the prize lists.
Not Prompt
Oregon City, however, has not come
to the top of the list as rapidly as the
committee had hoped. It is not be
lieved for a minute, however, that the
city will allow this school district to
have a small premium list or that
they will fail to respond to the re
quests of the committee that has the
matter in charge as soon as the sit
uation is explained to them.
For this reason, Mrs. E. W. Scott,
the chairman of the committee, has
called upon the merchants and others
interested in the work of the juve
nile fair to assist her out of the di-
lema and to contribute whatever they
may have to offer for the benefit of
the public school system in the dis
trict. CAM1NETT1 GUILTY

an automobile truck road in Kwang

The road now planned and for which
detailed surveys are being commenced
will be substantially 100 miles long.
It is expected to start at a station call
ed Poko in Chinese, in section 12 of
the Canton-Hankow railway, about
seventy miles from Canton, and will
follow the line of the old imperial mail

which imperial dispatches have been
transported for hundreds of years by
relays much in the manner of the old

GERMAN ARMY IN
ITS MANEUVERS
BERLIN, Sept. 5. On the historic
plains of Silesia, where the armies of

fifty years ago, another great army
carrying the colors of a united Ger
many assembled today under the eye
of Frederick's decendent, Emperor
William II. For the next five days
this modern army of, 70,000 men, di
vided into two opposing corps, will
engage in the annual Grand or "Kai
ser" maneuvers, which are the most
important army exercises of the year.
The maneuvers this year are regard
ed as the most important ever held
by the German army. More men are
engaged than ever before, while the
tests to which they will be put will
be unusually severe. Aeroplanes and
dirigibles, the latter equipped with
wireless outfits, will be employed for
dispatches. The German army is soon
to have bicycle corps for the first
time, and it is expected the various
types of machines will be tried out in
a practical way during the maneuvers.
