In and out of every butcher shop
and some of the resturanunts of the
city, Pure Food Commissioner Mickle
ofthe state department has been mak
ing his way for the past two days on
a trip of inspection of the, meat sup
ply. He has started a campaign in the
city as a part of the work that he
plans to do all over the state and has
undertaken to determine just how
many of the shops are maintained in
compliance with the provisions of the
state laws.
During the inspection trip here, he
has had several men with him who
acted as his deputies and who assisted
in the examination of the products
that were offered for sale in the lo
cal markets. He took with him on
these trips Dr. J. A. VanBrakle, county
health officer to see the conditions
with him as he found them in the va
rious places through the city.
Every few months the state depart
ment sends its men into the field to
examine the fdod conditions of the
state and to prosecute any violations
of the pure food laws of the state.
The inspectors plan to carry out such
a campaign here and to ciean up any
shops that they find have not been
maintained in accordance with the
laws of the' state.

PRIZES ARE OFFERED
TO "LIIEST" CARRIER
The prizes have been chosen for
the Enterprise Live Wire Carriers'
Contest, the boys have been instruct
ed as to the rules governing the con
test, and today the first contract will
be turned in and counted for the con
testants.
The Enterprise -.in securing the
awards had but one idea and that
was to offer the best obtainable. It
spared no expense or trouble in pick
ing out articles that would appeal to
the heart of the boys and at the same
time would be worthy of their work
and time.
The first prize is a 16-guage Martin
repeating shotgun, model 30. It is
properly proportioned in every part,
finely balanced, very quick and easy
in operation, and is the only light
weight 16-guage repeating shotgun in
the market. It is fully as effective
in all ordinary forms of bird and small
game shooting as any 12-guage gun,
and by reducing the weight of the
gun and shells carried, it adds greatly
to the enjoyment of the day's sport.
This gun has a special rolled steel
barrel with a tensile strength of about
66,000 pounds to the square inch. The
frames are blued and the butt plates
are of the best quality rubber. The
fulled choked barrels are guaranteed
by the Marlin company to target bet
ter than 240 pellets In a 30-inch circle
at 25 yards. The barrels are specially
bored for smokeless or black powder
and are proved with excessive loads.
The capacity of the magazine is five
shells and 'with one in the chamber
gives six shots.
The second prize is a complete fitt
ing outfit, silk wrapped rod, reel,
hooks, line leader, basket, and other
articles dear to the heart of a fish;
erman. Every article is in first class
condition and represents the best ob
tainable. These articles are on dis
play in the window of Huntley Bros,
store. 1
For third prize . a famous Zenith
knife has been secured. It has pearl
handle and three steel blades. It is
the best knife obtainable in one of
the leading local stores.

clined toward the currency bill b

BAKER AGAIN HERO OF THE WORLD'S SERIES
For the fourth time in two years,
Willis Mosier, a blind cigar dealer of
this city, has been robbed.
Early Tuesday morning some one
climber over this high iron railing in
front Tof the store and helped, himself
co over 500 cigars, a large amount of
smoking tobacco, cigarettes, gum, and
some chewing tobacco. The , total
value of the stolen goods is in the
neighborhood of $Z5.V.
Chief Shaw is of the opinion that
such a thief represents about the low
est type of humanity in existance. "A
man who will rob in a case like that
can be labeled the meanest man in
Clackamas county," said thechief. "I
know of no punishment that is just
for such a deed. He ought to get the
limit."

HUERTA WORRIED OVER
HIS FOERIGN RELATIONS
VERA CRUZ, Mexico, Oct. 14
Provisional President Huerta's advis
ors were more worried today concern
ing Mexico's foreign relations than
over internal conditons, according to
information from the capital.
News that Washington will not rec
ognize any president elected under
the present' dictatorship had placed
Huerta in an awkward position, it was
said. For the sake of his prestige
with the army he could not Recede
from his latest step. To prevent his
own official acts from causing him
trouble it was necessary for him to
conlrol the election. And yet it was
conceded that unless he can secure
recognition either for himself oT for
someone he can control, his" situation
wiU become impossible -soon.
Funds, it was said, absolutely must
be had to run the government and,
though he did succeed in obtaining a.
temporary supply, it wa admitted
that it is not likely more will be ob
tainable except with the Washington
administration's sanction.

"How to Crack a Vault Work .
' Shows Amateurs Were
on Job
Robberts broke into .the postoffice
at Willamette about two o'clock Tues
day morning and after trying to break
into a safe containing almost ?5,000
in notes, checks, cash, and stamps,
left by the front door within ten feet
of where Ewald Leisman was sleeping.
Entrance was made through' a win
dow into the postoffice which is in
the rear part of H. E. Leisman's store.
They probably used a bar of some
kind and, in trying to pry up the
window, their tool slipped and they
shattered the glass and tore the sash
loose from the window frame.
They then crawled through the win
dow and rumaged the postoffice. They
attempted to open the safe which con
tained several thousand dollars in
cash and notes but were unsucessful.
Instead of using the usual methods
of safe-breakers, they untwisted sev
eral ornaments off the doors but left
the dial alone.
Also Rob Store
" After finding some small change in
the postoffice they went into the store
proper, where they robbed a drawer
containing several dollars in nickles
and dimes, besides a watch valued at
$25.
All the time while the robbery was
in progress, Ewald Leisman, son of H.
E. Leisman, owner of the store, was
sleeping in a balcony not more than
ten feet from the front door or 35
feet from the window which was
smashed. The robbers must have
made considerable noise in escaping
as the door had two locks an'd was
rather hard to open, even for one used
to the building.
Two young men, James Bliss and
Prank Morgen, each 22 years of age,
were arrested at three o'clock Tuesday
morning on the charge of vagrancy by
Officers Woodward and Cook. The
two policemen followed the young
men around the city and when the
latter were unable to give satisfactory
answers to the questions put to them
by the officers, they were arrested.
The police held the men in the
jail all day but it was not until about
three o'clock in the afternoon tha:
they connected the Willamette rob
bery with the prisoners. A large num
ber of corns of small denominations
were found on the' arrested men and
several of these were recognized by
Ewald Leisman, who is a clerk in tha
store.
The men refused to confess but the
police claim to have enough evidence
to conj-ict the prisoners.
It is thought that these same men
had a plan to rob the Oregon City
postoffice but were frightened away
by the close watch of Lee French of
the local police. The officers had
noticed the men since last Friday
when they first came to the city, but
had no special reason to believe that
they would try to turn. They were
taken to Portland Tuesday night.
