SOURCES OF SUPPLY
TOWN IS INFESTED WITH RATS
Groceries and Dairies In Good Condi
tion, But Some of the Markets,
Bakeries and Resturants
' Are Unsanitary
Deputies from the office of J. D
Mickle, food and dairy commissioner,
have spent three days in Oregon City
investigating every place where food
products are manufactured or sold.
They use in their inspection work a
new score card system that ' gives
credit for every detail in the construc
tion as well as the cleanliness.
The score card is based on 100
points for a perfect plant. Some of
the places where Oregon City people
get their food do not score very com
plimentary, others are classed by the
inspectors as being very good.
The Report.
The following is in substance the
report of Deputy Schrock and Fullen
wider to their chief: We find one of
the markets, that of Farr Bros., in ex
ceptionally good condition; with that
of R. Petzold a close second. The lat
ter has the cleanest slaughter house
we have seen for some months. Mr.
Streibig occupies the other extreme,
being the filthiest we have ever seen.
He has been given one week's time
to place his market in first class shape
and is now busily at work cleaning and
repairing .His slaughter house is in
better shape than that of Kloostra,
which brings his score total several
points above the latter.
P. A. Kloostra also has been given
one week's t4me to make some needed
changes to his slaughter house.
Market Score.
The score of the five markets, four
with slaughter houses included is as
follows:
Farr Brothers, market and
slaughter house 68 points
R. Petzold, market and
slaughter house 66 points
Flora Cornelius, market
alone 62.4 points
.1. v, Ptreibig, market and
daughter house 34.5 points
P. A. Kloostra, market and
- ighter house 30.7 points
I Market, George A.
i!.ira, 7th street 66.4 points
There are four candy factories in
Oregon City, all small plants and not
one iu satisfactory condition as is
seen by the score. Mrs. Newton and
W. F. Troop conduct tneir factories in
connection with their homes and are
very careless about cleanliness.
Candy Factories.
The other two are in poorly lighted
and poorly ventilated buildings. Utter
lack of realization of the responsibility
that rests upon them is the cause for
the gross carelessness.

NAVAL OFFICER IS
FIRED BY GOVERNOR
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 16. Governor
West today revoked the commission
of Lieutenant Commander of the Ore
gon Naval Militia held by Mayor E.
E. Shaw of Marshfield. Last Saturday
the governor removed Mayor Shaw
from the naval militia board under the
statute which provides that any mem
ber of a board appointed by the gov
ernor who falls to attend two consecu
tive meetings of the board, without
showing satisfactory cause, forfeits
his membership.
"Mayor Shaw's commission has been
revoked because his activities in the
direction o fthe Coos county deporta
tion cases were hardly consistent with
the duties of an officer of the naval
militia," said the governor. "Such an
officer is supposed to assist this of
fice in seeing that the laws of the
states are enforced." -

Pretty Women Baffle
Clerk In Effort to Get
On Next Voting List
Women were right in the swim at
the court house Thursday. They lined
the counters." They filled the rooms.
They marched in four deep" and they
came, in in twos, threes, and by them
selves. There seemed to be thous
ands of them as they poured into the
office of County Clerk Will L. Mulvey
Thursday to get their names on the
official registration lists of the county
and to get one, big, genuine, whack at
some of the measures that are to be
submitted to the people at the next
election and every election thereafter
for several months to come.
There were pretty women there. All
Clackamas county women are, of
course. There were women who had
lived in the state since Oregon was a
state. There were women who were
grandmothers. There were mothers
with their children and some with
out them. There were mothers who
brought their entire families with
them and there were those who left
them at home in "daddy's" care.
There were old women and women
were young, those in the eighties and
these just past the legal age.
Wanted to Vote.
All of the excitement at the office
of the county clerk had to do with the
registration lists. The women are
coming in now in force to register.
There are several measures before
the people of the state at. the coming
election that the women want to have
their say-so about. There's the ap

FOR CONTEST PRIZES
The Enterprise Live Wire . Carriers'
Contest is going ahead at full speed.
The boys are working all their time
out of school and even when in school
arc making plans for the conquest of
more subscribers. Some of the boys
are slightly ahead of the other, al
though the contest is by no means
won or lost. ;
There are still eight more days, the
contest is only started, and the real
work is yet to be done.
Two of the boys have failed to re
port so the record is far from com
plete, but according to the votes
turned in at the office, the standing is
as follows:

PASSENGERS SAFE
FROM FATED
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. Forced
to toke to the lifeboats when the
steam schooner Merced struck the
rocks at Point Gorda, 30 miles south
of Eureka, the Merced's passengers
had all been taken safely on board the
oil tanker Atlas today, according to a
statement by Charles R. McCormick
& Co., the vessel's owners.
The Merced is a large new lumber
carrier with accommodations for 80
first class passengers and a crew of
40. She left here yesterday with 20
passengers, bound, in ballast,, for Co
lumbia river ports.

propriations for " the university, for
instance. Many of the women are in
favor of higher education and want
6t see those bills approved by the
people. They propose to vote for
those bills. Then, there is the work
ingman's compensation act. Many of
the women are wives or mothers of
workingmen. They want to see that
bill passed at the polls.
Favor Prohibition.
In addition, the women seem to be
strongly in favor of prohibition. They
want to get a whack at the saloon.
They are dry from start to finish and
they don't want Oregon City to line up
in the wet column again. As a result,
they are determined to use the vote
that has been given to them for the
benefit of the city and have started
to work on the prohibition question.
When the votes of the city are counted
in the forthcoming election, the wo
men will be in the front rank of those
who voted for prohibition, it is said.
The new found vote is to be used
this year. The women of Oregon,
generally, have not gone to the reg
istration clerks and have not taken
advantage of the suffrage that has
been given to them. But the women
of Clackamas county are now begin
ning to do so and before the offices
are closed at 5 o'clock on next Satur
day night thousands of them will be
registered in this city and county and
their votes will be an important fact
or in the coming campaign.
GLADIATORS TO MEET
ON CANEMAH FIELD
The Oregon City high school team
will play the fast Washington high
school gladitators, Saturday, October
18, on Canemah field. This will be
the biggest game of the season for the
local school as the Washington team
is considered as being one of the fast
est in the state.
Elaborate plans are being made by
the students, generally, who intend to
turn out in a body and boost for the
home school. A yell leader has been
selected and active preparations have
been made to bring all the students
together in one big noise on the ap
pointed day.
The team, too, is preparing for the
invasion and Coach Wagner is putting
on the final touches and giving the
last instructions to his team. It is
said that he has several new and fast
plays that ought to show the Port
land players a few fancy tricks in the
game. "
The Washington high school has al
ways been considered one of the best
teams in the state, having captured
the Portland and state championship
several times, besides laying a strong
claim to national scholastic football
championship. The local school, how
ever, has one of the best teams that
ever represented Oregon City on the
gridiron, so a lively game is expected.
The average man expects a pound
of gratitude in exchange for an ounce
of charity. - '

ELEVATOR CONSTRUCTION TO BE

MRS. CHASE IS READY TO FIGHT
Has Her Dander up and Proposes to
go the Limit to Keep City
Out of Her Property
Makes Points
Sarah A. Chase has filed her in
junction against the city and will
fight her case through the courts,
tying up the "construction of the ele
vator for several weeks.
The papers have been filed in the
office of County Clerk Will Ls Mulvey
and have been served upon the city
though the agents of the construction
company have been out of town and
j have not been officially notified of the
action, lhey have anticipated that

J action against them and the city, how
ever, ior ner attorney, J. E. Hedges
made that threat at a recent meeting
of the city council.
She Objects
Mrs. Chase has, all of the time, ob
jected to the condemnation of her
property for the purpose of building
an approach to the elevator on the
resident side. She has also objected
to the $1500 that the board of re
viewers estimated was the damage
that she would suffer because of the
construction of that approach. She
has claimed that her property will be
materially damaged and that the ele
vator will become a ryiisance to her.
She believes that the city has no
right to construct the elevator at that
point as long as she objects to it and
she has declared her intention to fight
tne case tnrough the courts and tie
the matter up as long as possible, even
:e .. i : . , .
if
Biie is uiisuccessrui in ner rient.
She contends, however, that the city
is aestroymg her property without giv
ing her a proper amount in return for
the damage and proposes to take such
legal action as will repay her for the
damage that is done.
Condemned Property.
The home of Mrs. Chase is in lots
one to four, inclusive, block 34, and
other land down to the railroad right-of-way.
To land the passengers on
the bluff, it was necessary for the city
to condemn her property and a board
of reviewers was appointed. Its re
port has, however, been unsatisfactory
j to the plaintiff and she has asked for
i " uiuci uui ui me circuit court re-
stra,n,n thn it
the work. In her complaint she sets
out that two bridges could be built so
as to avoid her property and alleges
that the elevator is not a public neces
sity. Her attorneys are Joseph E. Hedges,
C. D. and D. C .Latourette.

Portland has won the pennant.
