CROSS AND
CITY HAVE
A SET-TO
ATTORNEY FILES COMPLAINT
AGAINST MAYOR OF CITY
OF GLADSTONE
COUNCIL BELIEVES HE HAS HAD
TIME ENOUGH TO REMOVE DIRT
Former Action Was Dropped On The
Promise That Work Would Be
Done, But It Has Not
Yet Been Started -
Criminal complaint has been filed
in the municipal court against Harvey
E. Cross, mayor of Gladstone, and a
property-holder in the city, charging
him with the violation of a city or
dinance in allowing dirt to fall all over
a city sidewalk running past his hold
ings. Sometime ago, the city brought the
same complaint in the same court but
the matter was postponed upon the
promise that the defendant would
clean up the walk when better weath
er came, it is "said. The weather has
come and gone and the dirt still re
mains on the walk, according to the
charges. City Attorney William
Stone brought the action Tuesday in
the municipal court and made the
charges against the Gladstone mayor.
The property involved lies on Mon
roe street between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets. It is said that a
retaining wall that was built for the
property has fallen and that several
tons of earth has calmly settled on
the walk, blocking traffic and bother
ing the community in general. The
penalty under the ordinance upon con
viction is $50 and 25 days in jail, it
is said.
WHO BUTTED INTO
WATER PROBLEM?
The water committees of the city
are at a loss to know who is respon
sible for the appeal that has been
made to the department of the in
terior against the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company over the re
serve at the south fork of the Clack
amas. The company has all of the time ex
pressed the best feeling toward the
ambition of the city to gain its own
water source and has even taken the
question under advisement as to
whether or not it would turn over its
right to 2,000,000 gallons of water
daily from the reserve for power pur
poses to the city. The committees
have wired to the interior department
asking for the name of the person
who has protested against the alleged
refusal of the company to donate this
water and "shutting off the intake-'
that the city has not yet gained but
which it has simply proposed.
The report states that the Oregon
senators are interested in the matter
arid the committees will get what in
formation it can from both of the men
now representing this state in the up
per halls of congress.
THEY SAW THEIR WAY
OUT; SO THEY SAWED
ALBANY, Ore., Oct, 21. Sawing
through five bars in a window on the
wes side of the county jail some time
last night, two prisoners are at large
today. They were left in the corridor
of the jail through an oversight. They
are Charles B. Smith and William
Adams.
Smith was being held in default of
bonds of $2000 each in two cases,
charging him with securing credit on
the strength of a bank book, showing
an alleged deposit but failing to have
the money to meet the obligations.

CARRIERS LEARN NEW
THINGS EVERY DAY
Few of the. boys in the Enterprise
Carriers' Live Wire Contest are fully
aware that most of the good they de
rive is from the experience they re
ceive in their house to house canvass.
In going from home to home they meet
all sorts of people and it is the per
sonal contact with men and women of
every class that does the boy the most
good. The shotgun will last for years
and the same will apply to the fishing
outfit and the knife, but the good they
derive from the intimate .contact with
the public will never wear out.

of Dr. Hugh Mount and F. L. Del

a suit for $100 damages in the circuit
court against Delschneider for the in

ADAMS REFUSES TO
ENTER MAYOR RACE
L. Adams who has been urged to
run for mayor by a great many of his
friends, has declined, as on accout of
his large business he could not give
the office the necessary time.
Mr. Adams feels that Mayor Jones
is entitled to a second term, especially
as he has given representatives of
"The committee of 100" the assurance
that he will see that the law is en
forced if the city goes dry.

The above is a photograph of Albert J. Jewell, the young American aviator who disappeared in the clouds
during the flight of a number of aviators about Manhattan Island, commemorating the" date of Wilber Wright's
first flight ten years ago. At one time Jewell had attained such a great altitude that a man who was looking
at him through powerful field glasses could scarcely see his areoplane. This was the last seen of his powerful
machine, and it is commonly believed that he was blown out to sea. . " - :
' The remainder of the aviators who participated in the 60-mile trip, flew high above New York City and the
winner who attained a speed of more than a mile a minute, could not leave his aeroplane after it had landed. It
was necessary for the bystanders to help him from his seat as he was almost frozen stiff. . - -

Although it is probable that there
are not more than 1,800 voters in this
city, there are 2,475 names upon the
registration books in the office of
county clerk Mulvey. This is due to
(he fact that many who signed" the
rolls last year registered again this
year so. ps to be sure that they would
be entitled to the ballot at the refer
endum election.
The 1913 registration list is com
posed of j bout two and a half times
as many women as men, due to the
fact that most of the men registered
last year while the franchise has been
extended to the women this year. If
the forthcoming election brings put as
larire a proportion of the total regis
tration as in former years, there will
be about 1,300 citizens who will cast
a ballot and of these about 400 will
be women.
The county registration lists show
