Injunction proceedings may be
brought against the city by S. A.
Chase, owner of the property near the
bluff, to prevent the city from the
erection of its tower and elevator and
to stop a!l work on that improvement
at once.
This announcement was made at
the meeting of the city council Wed
nesday night when she protested
against the opening of a way through
her property. Joseph E. Hedges as
her attorney presented several objec
tions to the move on the part of the
council and threatened that his client
would bring action if the council per
sisted in its determination either to
open a street through her property or
to build the elevator at its foot.
The attorney contended that the
street that the ciiy proposed to open
was not properly a street and that it
damaged the property materially more
than any offer of payment, would cov
er. The statement was also made
that action would be taken to prevent
the erection of the elevator.

Matter Will Be Called to Attention of
Officials and An Effort ,Made
to Keep Present Line
As it Now Is
Oregon City people are going to pro
test most vigorously against the pro
posed new routing of the P. R., L. &
P. Co., which that company now plans
on installing in the not far distant fu
ture. Instead of carrying patrons of
the Oregon City line down to Alder,
Washington or Stark, as always has
been -the custom, the new plan is to
dump all patrons of the line off at
Yamhill and Third, and begin the loop
back to Oregon City at that point. The
proposed change has just been made
public, and patrons all along the line
are signing remonstrances directed to
Will Daly, commissioner of public util-
ities.at Portland.
Under the new system patrons
would have to walk the distance from
Yamhill to the their destination. As
the cars run now very few people
leave the train until Washington or
Stark is reached, and the protest is
against this additional walk, which
will fall upon all patrons of the line.
It is generally felt the move is a great
injustice to patrons who wish to leave
the cars at some point near the com
mercial canter of th,a city.
A number, of business men from
Portland and patrons of the line liv
ing at Jennings Lodge, Milwaukie and
Oak Grove were in Oregon City yes
terday afternoon discussing the pro
posed change with some of the local
people. Unless some action is taken
immediately by the patrons of the
line, the change will be made too late
for any complaint on the part of the
patrons who feel that they have some
rights to be regarded under the pro
posed changi3.
STRAY SHOTS CATCH
Frank Champion, of this ciiy, prob
ably has the distinction of being the
first one to be shot in this section
since the opening of the season.
Early yesterday morning he was
walking through a field to the north
of his home with his dog when he was
hit by two stray shot. One struck
him in the cheek and the other in the
neck. The wounds are only flesh
cuts.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sourbeer, who
were married last week in Vancou
ver, Washington, are now settled at
their new home in Rose City Park,
Portland.
Mrs. Sourbeer, who was formerly
Miss Sora B. Douthit, of this city,
spent most of her life in Oregon City
and is well known here. Two sisters,
Mrs. Louis Farr and Mrs. L. Stevens,
and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Ml
Douthit are residents of tUis city.

Now that the pennants for the American and National Leagues have been turned oyer the Philadelphia
Athletics and New York Giants, rasp ectively, that is as far as any more contesting game is concerned, football
is beginning to come into its own. T he official season was opened when Yale clashed with Wesleyan. Al
though Yale won by a score of 21-0 th e vanquished team threatened the Ya le goal many times.
This picture shows Wilson of Ya le making and end run and the clev-ar way in which the Yale line made a
clear field for him is depicted. Wils on's eni runs were the f aaturs of the game.

Startles Mere Man
With Her Slit Skirt
Though Mayor Linn E. Jonas has re-
fused to issue a ukase against tha "X -
ray skirt," and has declared that he
wou ri like to see more of them before
voicing an opinion as to their mod
esty, tha city executive has not inti
njated that he approved of such things,
nor of slit skiris. Perhaps the may
or's lack of opinion upon t;ie matter
of women's apparel is due to the fact
that his many duties keep him so
busy that ha has not had opportunity
to observe local happenings in fashion
lines, and therefore, he does not know
to what extremes some Oregon City
.young women ara going.
For instance, there is a young lady
who is daily on duty at the county
courthouse who has startled folk by
appearing in a slit skirt that woui!
even shock Paris. Though hundreds
of people have daily scon her, no com
ment has been made on her attire
until recently, when the general agi
tation against extreme fashions have
made people more observant than
formerly.
Most any day now the young woman
may be seen at her post of duty.
clothed in a light grey or white suit
tier usual business dress. The gown
is somewhat Grecian in its general
lines, though a trifle fuller in the
blouse than the clothes that Hellenic
lassies usually wore, and much higher
about tha neck. In faci as far as neck
and shoulders go the dress is modest
in tha extreme. At the waist it is
gathered with a plain girdle, and the
skirt then falls in flowing lines to tha
ground.
People who observe the left side of
the skirt, however, uave been horri
fied to observe that it is- radically
slit not for ten inches, as the ex,
treme of fashion dictates, but more
than two thirds of the way to the I family have been for genera
waist. Not only have tha curiously I tions closely connected with the

TRY X-RAY ON MAN

P. C. Ensminger who was injured in
a runaway Tuesday was removed from
the Oregon City hospital 'to Portland
where an x-ray will be used to deter
mine the extent of his injuries.
Mr. Ensminger was seriously, hurt
while trying to jump from his buggy
during a runaway down Washington
street. He has a deep cut under his
right ear, a double fracture - of the
bones of the right shoulder, and may
be suffering, from internal injuries.

John Lewthwaita, first mayor
of West Linn, was nominated
and elected by unanimous vote
of the citizens, and on October

in the government territory for power site purposes will be turned over
Oregon City, and the water that comes from the southern fork of the Cla
amas will have been partially donated by the company. .
For 21 1-2 miles in an air line or about 25 miles over the mountains,
pipe line to the south fork will twist
water to a region where contamination cannot penetrate, where the moJ
tain snows melt into the river, where
settlement is an impossible thing.
Under the plans of the committee,
the pipe line of the city will enter- this
region and take from the water of
the south fork a supply as pure and
cold as that which fills the mains of
the city of Portland and that carries
with it no settlement or contamina
tion, no chance for impurity.
At a cost, now estimated, of $150,
000, a 16-inch wood stave pipe line
can be carried through the mountains
of the reserve and -to the point in the
river, more than 200 feet above the
elevation of the city. Through some
rock and over some canyons the line
will have to pass before it reach as the
proper point in the stream and some
excavation work will have to be done.
Appeals to Business iMen.
Comparatively small will be the
cost, it is estimated, and the perma
nency of the proposition has appealed
to a number of business and profes
sional men, and the money for the
survey work has already been sub
scribed. The engineer has been or
dered to start at once into the forests
and to take with him a party large
enough to gath,er all of the data that
the city will want before it starts the
work of circulating a petition or takes
any active steps looking toward the
actual construction of the line.
The committee that has the mat1,ar
in charge has tired of the delay in the
water problem. It has decided to
take the initiative itsilf and to see
what steps may be taken and what
work done if the proposition is pushed
to the limit and the actual work start
ed at once. -
Communication with the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company
showed th,a willingness on the part of
the officers to assist the committee in
every -way that it could to get to that
reserve. The line would be run over
several canyons and through the trails
of the mountains to a point in the
stream that is absolutely safe forever
from contamination.
