SAYS IT HAS VOTED DRY ALREADY
Does Not Pr;pose to Change Into Wet
. Column and Will Permit No '
Liquor in Its City
Limits
"The Guardian" of October 18, 1913,
contains an article which would imply
that West Linn was incorporated for
the express purpose of going into the
liquor business as soon as Oregon
City goes dry. This statement
brought a storm into the ranks of
West Linn's citizens and one of the
prominent officials of the city as also
an officer of the West Side Improve
ment club, gave vent to the follow
in;; statement:
"I wish the 'Enterprise' to contra
dict the statement in 'The Guardian'
that West Linn is just waiting for
Oregon City to go dry that the ten sa
loons might immediately move across
the river. West Linn has passed an
ordinance which makes it unlawful to
sell or even give away spiritous liq
ors within the city's boundaries, and
the charter which is up to the people
to adopt or reject on December 1,
' makes it unlawful to deal in, or in
any manner dispose of, liquor within
the city's lines, except on vote of the
people. This charter was unanimous
ly passed upon by the charter com
mittee, of ten citizens and later unan
imously adopted by the city council
and passed to the people for their
vote.
"If this looks like West Linn stands
ready with open arms to receive the
liquor men as business men 'The
Guardian' is mistaken in its interpre
tation of the citizens' intention.
"West Linn is to be a home city
one where everybody will feel free to
live. We have no objection to those
who are in the liquor business; they
are, many of thera, first class citizens,
but we do object to their business
and the misery that follows from it.
"It seems poor policy for the wets
to try to use West Linn as an argu
ment for Oregon City to go wet. West
Linn has no fight with anybody and
Oregon City is not looking for
trouble."
LENTS CLUB AGAINST
NEW ROUTING OF CARS
LENTS, Oct. 18. After hearing the
protest of H. Rostad, president of the
Lents Commercial club, Thursday
against the proposed routing of Lents
cars on Yamhill street, Commissioner
Daly promised to bear the desires of
Lents residents before ordering the
new rerouting of Mt. Scott cars. The
Lents people want to reach Washing
ton street without change of cars.
Now if somebodies in Mexico. City
would get Huerta into jail,' things
there would be evened up about right.

Smiling Faces of En
terprise Carrier Boys
Seen at Movie Show
Down in the front row there were
four round, smiling, jovial, boyish
faces, upturned toward the exciting
events so graphically protrayed on the
movie screem. . Now 'their faces
would be wreather in smiles ' as the
funny man in the clown make-up
would perform or, perhaps one would
clench his fist as his more violent
passions were- aroused.
Those four boyish faces were the
carriers of the Enterprise in Oregon
City and they were the guests of Man
ager Schram in the Grand theatre in
a little "blow out" arranged for in
their honor. After the show the boys
were taken to a confectionery store
and" treated to ice cream to their
hearts' content.
The boys have been working bard
in the contest and have produced re
markable results. The standing is:

put on excellent work.
The lodge has 105 members, most
of whom are employes of the railroad
company. The men have time, how
ever, for their regular lodge work and
have taken it in the same way that
the olher lodges of the state have
done. Franklin T. Griffith, president

allowed. The reply was , publicly

from any objectionable matter 'could

A committee was then appointed
and the play '.'The Freshman" was

Annual Reception
(By Meta Finley Thayer)
The McLoughlin Memorial' associa
tion is greatly pleased with a fine old
desk which Mrs. Thomas Charman
ias presented to the McLoughlhv
home. This desk was brought around
Cape Horn in 1851 by Captain Thomas
Johnson and was purchased by Mayor
l nomas Charman. The inscription 1
reads, "Presented by Mrs. Thomas
Charman, Pioneer."
It is the intention of the McLough
lin Memorial association to gather in
this interesting old house pieces of
furniture of pioneer days.
The history of this old building is a
romance in itself. Bright blanketed
Indians, fur clad traders and trappers,
uniformed men from foreign courts,
with their gilt braid and flashing
swords, adventurers, misionaries, and
most of all the many for whom Ore
gon spelled opportunity all these
pass before the imagination . like . a
brilliant kaleidoscope, shifting, form- i
ing, changing, and Doctor McLough
lin's hand turned this kaleidoscope of
humanity and his old home was its
setting. . .
It was here that Doctor McLoughlin
passed the last twelve years . of his
life. Later the house passed into the
hands of strangers and its history for
many years was colorless. -
Finally when it was to be torn down
to make room for a modern building,
E. G. Caufield determined to save this
old land-mark for a more appreciative
posterity. Many other public-spirited
people came to his assistance, but, in
credible as it seems now, they met
with much opposition. Pioneers from
all over the state, and many other
states contributed money for the re
storation of the building and to fight
the injunctions filed to prevent its
removal to McLoughlin park. There
are many who deserve praise for their
perseverance, but this is merely writ
ten for the new-comers who are not
familiar with the story of the build
ing. . -
The McLoughlin Memorial associa
tion has been made a permanent or
ganization for the maintenance of the
home. A bill appropriating $1250.00
for the purpose of keeping the build
ins in repair passed the legislature in
1909, was vetoed by Governor Cham
berlain and was again passed in 1911.
E. G. Caufield, Rev. A. Hillebrand and
Joseph E. Hedges w-ere named trus
tees of this fund. The running ex
penses of the home, however,- must
be met by subscriptions from the Mc
Loughlin Memorial association and
others in sympathy with the wdVk.
The Women's club has beautified
the grounds, erected a fountain and
is now planning an arch at the en
trance of the park for the guidance of
strangers as well as to ornament the

Black Kitten Graces
Council's Table
, During Session
The Oregon City council has a mas
cot. During the deliberations of the
council the other night, a kitten as
black as night st in the-center of
the council table at the city hall
while the fathers poured over books
and records and talked street im
provements and other dry and unin
teresting subjects. . .
From the spot that had selected dur
ing the opening moments of the ses
sion, the kitten nver stirred. When
the meeting was over and the council
about ready to adjourn. Councilman
J. Albright moved that the mayor be
invited to appoint a committee to take
charge of the cat until the next ses
sion of the council. The mayor, haw
ever, did not believe that the charter
authorized him to appoint committees
for such purposes.

LA FRANCE GETS
ONE TO FIVE YEARS
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 18. J. C.
LaFrance, convicted of swindling the

tenced to from one to five years in the
penitentiary by Circuit Judge Kava
naugh this morning. Mrs. La France
and three' of their four children were
in the court room, the baby in a go

Boone Cason, one of the attorneys
for LaFrance, asked for leniency and
suggested a parole, but District At

MACHINE GUN KILLS AND
INJURES IN COLORADO STRIDE
TRINIDAD, Colo., Oct. 18. Feeling:
between crine guards and strike sym
pathizers was at the boiling point in
the southern Colorado coal fields to
day as a result of the fight near
Forbes late yesterday in which at
least one man was killed, three others
were reported to have fallen and two
more probably will die.
The guards' version was that they
were fired on from the strikers' camp
as three automobile loads of them
passed, on their way from Trinidad
to Forbes, where it was asserted some
one had been shooting at the mine
tipple. The strikers' reply was that
the guards opened on them with a ma
chine gun without provocation. They
admit that they returned "the fire.
The applause of the public seldom
goes to the officeholder who gets his
price. .
Too many people are like Hobson,
who thinks that nobody who doesn't
exactly agree with him in everything
can be honest.
