ises Milwaukie, situated half way be
tween Oregon City and Portland, to
day has no official city government,
because Tuesday evening Mayor El
mer and Councilmen W. H. Counsell
and F. R. Mitchell resigned. Council
men King, Davis and Albee, who re
main in office, do not constitute a
quorum and cannot transact the city
business.
Discussions Lively
The resignations followed a discus
sion brounght on by the motion of
Councilman Albee, in Tuesday night's
council meeting, that the license of
the Milwaukie Tavern be revoked.
Councilman Mitchell amended -the
motion to the effect that all proceed
ings in connection with the atempt
to grant Isaac Gratton a license for
the tavern be expunged from the rec
ord, contending that as only two out
of three councilmen had voted for the
license it could not have been legally
granted, the charter providing that a
majority of the counoil must vote for
licenses.
Uproar Follows
In the discussion that followed there
was a tremendous uproar. Petitions
were presented by various citizens,
women addressed the council, and the
history of the old "tavern" as run by
"Bobbie" Burn3 was rehearsed by
those opposing the license, while those
who favored it declared the Mr. Grat
ton was going to turn the place into
a resort similar to The Oaks, and
would permit no more "rough stuff"
than is permitted at that resort.
Finally charges and counter charges
became so warm that Mayor Elmer
and Councilmen Mitchell and Coun
sell resigned, the action to take place
at once. This left the council with
out a quorum, and the session came
to an abrupt end.
Position Embarrassing
The resignations leave Milwaukie in
an embarrassing positnon, as much
public improvement work, i3... under
way and still more was to have been
ordered this week. A number of con
tracts were ready for signing and the
disappearance of organized city gov
ernment will leave these things in a
bad tangle.

and after burning the dryer felt and

SIDEWALK AND CURBING WORK
GOES ON IN RESIDENT PART
OF TOWN RAPIDLY "
MANY NEW ROUSES ARE GOING UP
Several Fine Homes in Process of
Construction and Others
are Being Con
templated .
Seldom before has the south-eastern
part of the city seen such im
provement as is going on at the pres
ent time, according to the opinion of
many residents. Houses are being
built, others repaired, and streets are
being graded and rolled in a way that
will make that section one of the best
in the city.
The largest work under way is the
grading and surfacing of Fourth street
between High and Monroe streets
where a steam roller, several teams
and a large gang of men are at work.
If the present rate is continued, the
project will be completed within a
week.
It was necessary to grade the street
for the entire distance to a depth
varying from a foot or so to a number
of feet. Concrete sidewalks have been
laid all the way except for the last
block and men are now at work there.
Rock is being crushed and quarried
at the quarry at the head of Madison
street for tile improvement and an
other large gang is at work getting
out this material. i
Houses Going Up
Three large houses are being built
in this part of the town, the largest
belonging to Mr. J. E. Hedges, the
prominent attorney. It is nearly fin
ished and will be ready for ocupation
in a few weeks. Mr. Hedges' new home
is located oh the corner of John Ad
ams and Sixth streets. Another resi
dence is under way for V. H. Howell
at the intersection of Third and Jef
fersonfl It will contain six rooms and
will cost about $3000. Mr. Hinchmau
is the contractor and builder.
Mr. Joehnke's new home on Jeffer
son between Fourth and Fifth streets
is well started and will be one of the
most beautiful houses in the vicinity
when completed.

BOOKS ON NURSING
While there is a good deal of illness
in town, it is not generally known that
the public library has useful books oh
home nursing. Sometimes the care
of a patient falls to a person who has
had little experience in the care of the
sick. Then a book telling in plain
words what to do and what not to do
in a given case would be of great val
ue. Even those who are most exper
ienced would often be helped by a
book written by an expert.
In many forms of illness, and espec
ially in typhoid, the nursing is quite
as important as the physician's treat
ment. The following books contain
valuable information on various phas
es of the care of the sick:
Aikens, "The Home Nurse's Hand
book"; "Care of Invalids"; " Gibbs
"Food for the Invalid and the Conva
lescent"; Harrison, "Home Nursing";
Hill, "Cook-book for Nurses"; Pope,
"Home Care of the Sick"; Tracy, "In
valid Occupation." .

Important Line
The opening of this new line of
connection between Oregon City and
the rich Molalla country is consider
ed of vast importance. Until the new
road is electrified . the trade of the
Molalla will pass through this city
on the tracks of the. Southern Pacific
company, and if any considerable por
tion of it shall be diverted to find per
manent anchorage with local business
houses, the effort to capture the bus
iness must be put forth by Oregon
City men.
Portland, Salem, Canby are all alive
to the possibilities of landing the Mo

territory and will be largely represents

Big Depot Facilities
After the main line of the Willam

electrified the electric trains will pass
through West Oregon City, where
splendid depot facilities are promised
and from which point Oregon ' City
merchants can still command a large
influnence in Mo'alla trade if the ef
fort is made.
The Commercial club of Molalla is
preparing to entertain a crowd of
5,000 persons at the opening of the

farmer between Cclton and Silver.on
will be there, besides the hundreds
who will ride on the first train over
the new line. It will be an opportun
ity for Oregon City men to come in
closer contact with the people of the
district and is bound to result in the
establishment of closer and even more
friendly relations than have hereto
fore existed, it is believed.

Wheaton Draws Knife and
Cuts '
After quarreling over a business
transaction involving the ownership of
the, blacksmith shop at Sixth and Wa

"Irish" Richard in the hand, chin and
chest with a small knife Tuesday ev
ening about 6 o'clock on the corner of
Sixth and Water streets.
Monday morning Wheaton and Shin
ville bought the shop and started to
do business Tuesday morning. Mor
ris Richard, better known as "Irish"
who had worked in the shop for some
time, was thrown out of work by the
change, according to Wheaton. This
caused Richard to become angry and
he loafed around the shop for the most
. Along toward, the evening, when the
pardners started to close their shop,
Richard and Shinville started to fight.
1Wheaton then pulled his knife, which
fortunately had a small blade and
went after "Irish". The latter then
started to back up Water street, yell

While Rjchard was backing up,
Wheaton slit the chin, chest and hand

Comment from the
"MOVING PICTURE WORLD"
"A PRINCE OF EVIL" Here is a great story, portrayed in
a manner that will make the picture remembered by all who
see It. There are two reels of straight drama not a line of
comedy in it. It would be difficult to overpraise . the acting
of those who make this picture for it is in the interpreta
tion of the script that the chief distinction of this film lies.
There are five persons who do the brunt of the work; They
are L. Rogers Lytton, Edith Storey, E. K. Lincoln, Harry
Northrup and Anita Stewart. The second reel is a succession
of big situations. The climax; where Miss Storey goes to her
married sister, Miss Stewart, and, unaware that her brother
. in-law, Mr. Northrup, is present in the room, asks how "it is
all going to end" is one of unusual power. The appeal of
the gambling but otherwise innocent wife for the forgiveness
of her husband is a dramatic gem. The thought would not,
- . will not, down: What possibilities there are in this play and
With this cast for the stage? No man or woman concerned
with the art of dramatic expression should miss seeing "A
V Prince of Evil". ,
