WATER SOURCE
BELIEVE CITY HAS HAD BAD AD
VERTISING ON ITS TYPHOID
FEVER TROUBLE
BULL RUN ONLY "BLACK-EYE" CURE
Regardless of Guilt of Germs, Town
Must Have New Supply to Get
Itself Straight, is Con
tention Water boiled, filtered, or chemi
cally injected was the main subject
of discussion by the Live Wires at
the regular weekly meeting in the
rooms of the Commercial club Tues
day noon. In spite of the assurances
that not a single disraasercarrying
germ had ever been found in the city
water, test votes at the meeting
showed that only a small percentage
of the city's population there repre
sented uses the water without boiling
it, and a large percentage does not
use it under any circumstances.
Speakers threshed out the question
of water from every angle. Most of
them declared that, regardless of the
chemical and other tests that the
state board had made, the city had
received adverse advertising as to its
water supply and the only way that
this effect could bo met was by the
securing of another water source.
That water source ought to be Bull
Run, according to the general sentir
ment of the meeting. The Live Wires
believed that the advertising the city
would receive if it were generally
known that the water supply came
from that source would be such that
the present black eye would be cured
and the city put again on the health
list.
Reports Offered.
Reports from Councilman Tooze
and Commissioner Joseph E. Hedges
along the line of work done during
the investigations of the water were
made and the councilman promised
further reports as soon as the nego
tiations with Portland are completed.
F. A. Olmstead, a chemist, declared
that Dr. Smith of the state hoard
of haalth said, that, in addition
to the typhoid germs, the water may
carry germs of six other disease and
he assured the Live Wires that he
was deathly afraid of the others re
gardless of the purity of the water
from typhoid contamination.
Mr. Hazel and B. T. McBain advo
cated a new water supply on the
ground that the present system ts
giving the city a black-eye whether it
deserves it or not and that the only
way out of the muddle is a new source
of supply.

WITH
SHERIFF FILES COMPLAINT HIM
SELF AND MAN IS
ARRAIGNED
PRELIMINARIES HAVE BEEN WAIVED
Does Not Insist Upon Right and Goes
Calmly Back to Jail to Await
Action of Grand Jury
on His Case
Harry Clark is now held in the
Clackamas county jail ,by Sheriff E.
T. Mass under a committment follow
ing the filing of a formal complaint
charging him with murder. The
complaint follows the finding of In
dian Henry Yelkis dead in -the road
out "of Molalla more than a week ago
and the discovery, that Clark was lost
with the msgi before his death.
For nearly a week, the sheriff has
held the man in jail pending the in
vestigations surrounding the death of
the old Indian chief. Several trips
have been made through the country
and the sheriff has gathered evidence
in connection with the case.
The complaint was sworn to by the
sheriff before Justice John N. Seivers
and Clark was immediately arraigned
and waived the usual preliminary
hearing. He has been committed to
await the action of the grand jury.
COURT REFUSES TO
T
The Clackamas Southern injunc
tion to restrain it from constructing
a line across his land was refused to
George Lamers by Judge Campbell in
the circuit court Tuesday on the
theory that th3 agreement had been
made in good faith for a right of way
and that the railroad had already
gone to considerable expense in the
matter of improvement on the basis
of that agreement.
Though, under fhe law, the convey
ance of real estate by a verbal agree
ment is void, the court held that the
owner of the property hadx given up
his rights to assume that position be
cause he had permitted the company
to use' tie land and to grade for the
road bed. Nearly 200 feet of fill has
baen made on the property under the
verbal agreement that was made be
tween the owner and the railroad.
Lamers asked for the restraining
order, but. after hearing evidence for
a short time, the court refused the
application.
COIN OVER COUNTER
Believing that October 1 was the
last day on which taxes could be paid
before they became delinquent, a
mass of property - owners swarmed
through the sheriff's office a day
ahead yesterday .and met their assess
irients. The office was busy all day taking
in the county mbney though the tax
payers still have until next Monday
night on which to pay -their taxes be
fore the time has expired. After that
time, they will become delinquent and
will be entered on the county records
The law reads the first Mbnday in
October instead of October 1, as many
of the property owners seemed to be
lieve.

LAZY APPLICANTS
APPEAR TOO LATE
Many applicants who failed to file
their requests for final papers are
now having to go through the process
all over again and, for the second
time, have declared their intention to
become citizens of thy? United States.
Several of them have lived in the
state for a number of years but have
never taken mors than the first pa
pers. As they are, under the law, en
titled to vote and to exercise other
rights of citizenship, thay have no'j
found it necessary to go any further
with the process.
The action of the government of
cials is rounding up the greater num
ber of these dslinquenis has cleared
the records of the county materially
and many of those who have let the
papers wait for them for several
years will soon b-3 full-fledged citi
zens of the country of their adoption.

Living By Serving
That is the motto of the mod
ern merchant.
He knows his business will
grow exactly in the proportion
of his ability to make it useful
to the public.
The better he can make him
self known for character, for
courtesy, for fairness in ' price,
the larger will be the measure of
his success.
The modern merchant believes
in taking the public into his con
fidence. He believes people are interest
ed in the sources of merchandise
its purpose its character, as well
as its fineness and price.
He classes these things a legi
timate news of his store.
He tells this new through the
advertising of live daily newspa
pers like Thj3 ENTERPRISE. v
He feels It is part of his serv
ice to keep the public informed.
And because of this intensely
human purpose advertising is
such very interesting reading
notonly interesting -but helpful
andprofltable reading.

Since that time, the Portland, Eugene

the Vick property and h,a has dater

he held in the other line.
Promptly, suit was brought by the
company for the remainder of the
amount and the case carried into the
circuit court when Judge Eakin heard
the testimony and handed in his de

He also gave the defendant the usual

CARRIER AND SHIPPER MUST
BE FAIR TO EACH OTHER
SALEM, Ore., Sept. 30. "The car
rier should be allowed fair compensa
tion, and the shipper should be charg
ed only what he can reasonably afford
to pay for the services performed."
Because of . the above intsructions
given to a jury by Circuit Judge Wil
liam Smith of Baker county in the
case of Service & Wright Lumber Co.
against the Sumpter Valley Railway
company, appellant, the supreme
court today reversed' the lower court
and laid down a rule for the relation
of carrier to shipper.
From 1903 to 1906 the lumbar com
pany shipped 897 cars of lumber and
other timber products from a point
on the railroad company's Whitney to
Baker branch. The shipments aggre
gated 913 tons and the number com
pany was charged $2 a ton freight for
a distance of 23 miles. The lumber
company alleged that it ' had been
charged a discriminatory rate, which
was unreasonable and excessive. It
alleged that a just rate would have
been 65.8 cents per ton. Suit was
brought for $12,255.90 rebate.
"If it were unjust for a carrier to
demand special rates from an . indi
dividual shipper higher than those
awarded to his competitors, it would
be equally unjust for an individual to
demand for himself lower rates than
those demanded from his competit
ors," says the supreme court's opin
ion, written by Justice Burnett. "It
is wrong for the carrier to charge as
freight all the traffic will bear, and
legislation has restrained such greed.
It is quite as reprehensible for the
shipper to demand of the carriar all
its service will bear.
"The law wisely fixes reason and
fair dealing as the standard govern
ing the demands of both parties
What the individual can afford to pa
is not the standard by which the mat
ter of freight charges is tt be judgea.
If that principle be admitted, discriir.
inating would be cannonizec: and uni
form treatment of shippers would
automatically cease, yet the court
virtually enunciated that principle
and repeated it in the excerpt
quoted."
Harry Young, a young man. from
I Portland, who attempted to paddle up
the Willamette to Oregon City a week
or so ago, will attempt to make the
entire trip Saturday or Sunday if the
weather permits.

DICK HAS H S
l AT BAT
FIRES BACK CHARGE THAT COUN
CILMAN MADE ON THE
DAY BEFORE
TWO MEN ARE CENTER OF INTEREST
Side Lights of Trial Focused on Them
When Charges and Counter
Charges Fly Thick and
Fast
"All of the testimony that Holman
gave here on the stand was a false
hood -and he knew that he falsified
when he gave it," declared Judge
Grant B. Dimick, in the case against
the city for the injunction restrain
ing the officers from paying E. L.
Shaw his warrants, as "keeper of the
city jail" or chief of police, depend
ing on the side that one takes in the
contention.
The declaration of the former may
or came as an answer to the same
charge that Holman had made on the
stand the day before. Dimick claimed
that Holman's tastimony on the reso
lution creating the new officer of city
jailer was false. Holman had, just
the day before, declared that Dim
ick's charge that he and other mem
bers of the council had entered a con
spiracy to hold up all Dimick appoint
ments, was- a falsehood.
Trial Exciting.
Intense- feeling seems to prevail at
the trial. The center of the excit
ment focused on the member of the
council and the former mayor. Coun
cilman Tooze and Albright were on
the stand to tell about the passage
of the resolution. v Tooze claimed that
it had passed on February 10, 1912,
while the records showed that it had
not been presented until February 13
of that year. The counsel for the
plaintiff claimed that as a ground for
assuming that the council had passed
so many resolutions at just that time
that there, was no record kept of this
particular one and that it had never
pasad; though it was admitted to
have been introduced.
Shaw Befuddled.
Another feature of the trial was the
testimony of Chief Shaw who, it is
said, told that he had never been
chief of police during that year and
that his official title was keeper of
the city jail. Counsel for the plain
tiff introduced his answer in which
he is said to have claimed that he was
performing all of the duties of that
office. It was said that he was un
able to explain this difference be
tween his testimony on the stand
during the trial and the answer that
had been filed.
The case was before Judge Eakin
all day and the testimony is now in.
The court allowed each side 10 days
in which to file wriften briars and it
will probably take 10 days more be
fore a decision is reached, in all a
pariod of about one month. Both fac
tions have determined upon carrying
the casta to the supreme court of the
state for final settlement and have
been particular about the record as
it is made from day to day in the cir
cuit court.
The attorneys involved are, for tha
plaintiff. B. N. Hicks; for the defend
ants, C. D. Latourette, Joseph E.
Hedges and William Stone.
