Court Against Prisoner Now
In Jail Writ Might
Be Used
Harry Clark, held on suspicion in
connection with the murder of Indian
Henry Yelkis at Molalla a few days
ago is being restrained of his liberty
by E. T. Mass, sheriff of Clackamas
county illegally, according to some
authorities, and the sheriff admits' it.
Frankly, the sheriff confesses that
he has no right to hold Clark in the
county jail for longer than 48 hours
on mere suspicion, but he claims the
man can have the benefit of counsel
at any time and can be taken from
him by a writ of habeus corpus at a
moment's notice.
For nearly a week, the man has
bean in the county jail without a
hearing or a preliminary arraignment.
Not a single paper has ever been filed
against him. No evidence has been
produoed to show his connection with
the affair nor has the slightest testi
mony of any sort been offered.
Sheriff Mass admits all this. He
makes no odds of it. He frankly
states that his authority does not in
clude the holding of thii prisoner, but
he thinks that he ought to keep his
man until somebody takes him away
from the sheriff's control.
Is Too Busy.
Because of the time that he has
had to devote in the scurry for evi
dence, the sheriff has not been in the
office a greater part of Uie day and
has not had the opportunity to file the
complaint against his man himself.
Ha. was prevented from doing so Mon
day because of the time that Livy
Stipp, prosecuting attorney, had to
spend on the stand in the case of
Grant B. Dimick against the cKy anJ

The sheriff thinks that as long as
he must hold his man at all costs un
til after the evidence is gathered, at
least, it makes no particular differ
ence just when' the complaint is filed
and he believes that he may file it
at any time. If Clark's attorney does
not like the proceedure, he may take
the man out of custody on a writ in
a few hours, the sheriff says.
Clark has been in jail, both in the
city and county many times on vari
ous charges, it is said. No further
evidence has been gathered in the last
few days that would throw material
light on the way in which Indian Hen
ry met his death although the sheriff
has been hard at work on the case
since the arrest was first made.
LIVE WIRES TO BUZZ
AT LUNCHEON TODAY
The Live Wires will sizzle at the
Commercial club today in their sec
ond luncheon since the summer vaca
tion. "Things will be doing" and sev.
eral matters are scheduled to come up
for discussion.
Besides a big feed, the organization
has several matters that it plans to
digest before the season's work be
gins. Among them is the question of
an athletic field for the students of
the various city schools. Under the
present arrangement, the members of
the city teams have to go to Canemah
or to Gladstone for practice as there
is now no place in the city where they
can be put through their grind before
the match games.
The scheme now brewing - in the
minds of the members of the organ
ization includes the foreclosure on
the option held on the Englebrecht
tract where the city started is well
drilling in the hunt for another water
supply. Other questions of like im
portance are scheduled for the lunch
eon today.

Premium List
. CANBY, Or., Sept. 29. (Special to
The Enterprise.) Approvimately $3,
000 was talten in from adminissions
alone at seventh annual Clackamas
County fair, held here last week. Tab
ulation of gate tickets made today
shows that $2,750.50 was paid at the
two entrances during the four days
of the exhibition, and about $2oQ more
was paid before the fair opened for
season tickets. Concession fees and
admissions make up the, balance of
the total sum.
The $2,750.50 taken in at the gates
eclipses anything in local fair history
and is taken by the directors as a
proof of the poularity of the annual
showing of the county's resources.
Much of the money will go to pay the
heavy premium lists, warrants for all
of which were mailed out today.

Quart Bottle Finds Way
Into Records of
County
Trees have been landmarks, old
stumps have divided corners,' rocks
have separated section lines, but
Clackamas county holds the record in
dividing off its acreage by a .quart bot
tle and making that bottle one of the
official comer stones and testimo
nials of the county.
In a deed filed in the office of Coun
ty Recorder Dedman Monday, the de
scription of the land is given in de
tail. From one corner of the section
to the other, the line is traced until
it finally winds up against that old
quart bottle. Throughout the de
scription of the land that bottle is
firmly interwoven with the story of
the transEer and it is . handed down
from one owner to the other as the
line of the section and the land mark
of the acreages that it divides.
DANCING CLUB OPENS ITS
SEASON AT MEETING
The Fol do Rol dancing club opened
its season Monday night with a rous
ing meeting at which their first dance
was planned. The club was organized
last fall and met with instant success
alothough all last season it only gave
two dances.
Th,eir first affair this season will be
held something in the next two wee'vs
in Busch's hall and will be the first
of a series of five or six. Two con
mittees were appoined: thie invitation
committee, consisting of Gilbert Mor
ris, AUie E. Levitt and Kent Moody;
and the decorating committee, Ernst
Mass, Jr., Delias Armstrong, Arthur
Farr, "Pug Moore, "Tub" Gault and
Charles Beatie.
PROHIS MEET TO LAY
PLANS FOR SIEGE
The first step in the active prohibi
tion campaign, planned for this win
ter in this city, was made Monday ev
ening at a meeting of the local min
isters and temperance workers held
in the Presbyterian" church.
Plans were discussed and some
adopted, although as yet nothing def
inite has been decided upon, beyond
the fact that the most vigorous cam
paign possible will be carried on.
Other meetings will be held later
when the details will be settled.
The local fight will be but one of
a connected chain of campaigns in a
score of other Oregon towns. The
state antii saloon league will be at the
head of all campaigns and will have
general charge of all work, while the
local organization will take care- of
the details.
Speakers wi!l probably be brought
to the city and a city-wide campaign
will be carried on through , all the
churches. The ministers plan to use
eviery bit of their" influence to win
their fight and are confident of suc
cess. Mrs. Earl C. Latourette will be host
ess on Thursday at a dancing party
at which she will honor her house
guest, Miss Harding, of New York.
The function will be held at the Ore
gon City hefme of Mrs. Latourette, and
will be attended by a large number
of guests. .
PANAMA BOOKS ARE
NOW GOING FAST
Now that the Enterprise distribu
tion of "Panama and the Canal in
Picture and Prose" is fairly under
way it is gratifying to note the pleas
ure with which this beautiful big vol
ume is received. "It's ten times bet
ter than I thought it would be," said
a young man who came in to get a
copy and took another one to send to
a friend. "It is the biggest value for
the money I ever saw," said a level
headed man of business. "O, what
georgeous colorings" exclaimed a lady
whose comments later developed the
fact that she was fully competent to
judge. All day long callers continued
to praise the beautiful book and com'
mend The Enterprise for offering
such a rare opportunity.
Readers are urged to tell their
friends about it. Let them know that
this is no ordinary offer; that the
book is actually worth $4 under the
usual trade conditions, but that it is
printed in enormous quantities and
distributed only through newspapers
at the mere expense of distribution
planned and printed wholly for the
purpose of more firmly establishing
the bonds of friendship that should
obtain between the newspaper and its
readers. Everyone of these book3
will make new friends for us; other
wise we could not think of distribut
ing them on the terms explained in
the Panama certificate printed daily
in these columns.
Clip and present six certificates as
soon as possible and come into im
mediate possession of the complete
story of Panama and the canal.
SALOON BLACKLIST
Thirty-nine names are on the black

have either been filed or to whom in

drinks.
The action is taken periodically by
the city police and is done either at

This was the statement of T. W.
Sullivan, hydraulic engineer of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
company, Monday. "As soon as the
necessary negotiations are completed
at the capitol, the government will
take active charge of the locks," con
tinued Mr. Sullivan, "and I expect
that to take place any minute now. it
is hard to tell the exact time, but will
probably be within the next two
weeks."
The locks were purchased in the
spring of this year by the government
from the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company for a consideration
of $325,000. Extensive improvements
are planned that will probably extend
over a period of two years.

Because he was a Good Samaritan

and healed the sick without cost, a
jury in the court of John N. Seivers,
to convict Joseph S. Rickard on the
charge of practicing without a litense.
The evidence that was introduced
showed that he had practiced in other
states aud that he had retired from
active work. Testimony showed that
he often cared for those who came to
him and that he "had never charged
the fees for .the services. In the case
that was before the court, he had
charged a man $1.50 for the bandages
and other supplies that he had used
in binding up an injury, but that the
fees that a regular physician charges
were never asked.
The case occupied the attention of
the justice court most of the day.
PASTOR SENT BACK
TO HIS FLOCK HERE
' Rev. T. B. Ford will be retained as
pastor(of the Oregon City Methodist
chuny for another year. The pastor
returned from the conference at Eu
gene Monday evening and reports that
this has been one of the most success
ful conferences ever held in this' state.
"Reports from all sections of the
country show that wonderful progress
has been made in the past year and
plans are being made for still greater
advancement in the future," said Dr.
Ford to an Enterprise representative
Monday. "I believe that the coming
twelve months will prove to be one
of the greatest years for the advance
ment of the church in the last de
cade." Rev. Ford, who has been pastor of
the Methodist church for nearly two
years, left for 3 the conference last
Wednesday.
He will vacate the Brownell house
on Eleventh and John Adams streets
and move into the house of Mr. Sulli

"Judge Grant B. Dimick falsified on
this stand and he knew that he was
falsifying while he was telling what
he did."
With that shot, R. L. Holman, mem
ber of the city council, started in on
his testimony in the suit for injunc
tion brought by Grant B. Dimick
against the city, the city treasurer and
E. 1.. Shaw asking the circuit court to
restrain , those officers from paying
and the chief for receiving $1100 iu'
warrants for his services during the
Dimick administration as mayor.
All day long Judge Eakin heard the
testimony in the suit. The case was
hard fought by both sides. The plain
tiff contended that Shaw had been ap
pointed chief of police by the council
when the charter provided such an
appointment can come alone from the
mayor, by and with the council's con
sent. . "
The defense, on the other hand,
held that the chief was "keeper pf
the city jail" and that he never was
chief of polifle. It declared that the
council had created "a new office and
that it had the right to create the
position and to select the man to fill
it. The plantiff answered that by
contending that the creation of the of
fice was a subterfuge and that Shaw
performed all of the duties of police
chief.
