STEADY REFUSAL TO OBEY OR
DERS AROUSES IRE AND
GETS ACTION
OUSTER SUIT SOON TO BE FILED
Relator Serves Notice That He Will
Ask Circuit Court to Remove
Old" Members From-Of- .
fice Injunction
Quo warranto proceedings will be
brought in the direct court of' the
county against the former water
board by John F. Albright, member of
the city council and relator on the
action
The suit will be filed by -F.. B.
Tongue, prosecuting attorney, by his
deputy, Livy Stipp. The city will be
represented by William Stone, the
city attorney. Though service was
made upon the former board, it was
later decided 'not to bring the action
in the court until Wednesday.
The suit involves the removal of the
former board from office and the is:
suing of a restraining order that 111
prevent it from performing any of the
duties of the members of the board
of water commissioners. It recites
all of the evidence that has beei
brought out during the dispute te
tween the city council and the board
and the latter's steady refusal to pro
duce the water main to the elevator.
The complaint recites that "not
withstanding the action of the city
council in removing defendants from
the board of watgr commisioners of
Oregon City, the defendants do now
unlawfully hold as the board of wa
ter commissioners and exercise the
duties, functions, and rights of said
office, and wrongfully and unlawfully
enter said office."
The plaintiff asks that the court
remove the board from office and that
it retain the members from entering
into the discharge of the duties of the
office and receiving any of the "emo
luments thereof appertaining' and
"that they be restrained from further
exercising any of the rights or duties
of the same and that the plaintiff re
cover his costs and disbursements
herein."
Though the complaint is the recita
tion of greivances that the city coun
cil believes it -has against the board
in refusing to lay the main to the ele
vator in spite of repeated orders .and
furnish pressure to raise and lower
the machinery that operates the plat
form. RIVER CHANNEL IS
IN FINE CONDinON
The river channel up the river from
Portland, past Oregon City, and as far
south as Salem has been in excellent
condition during the low water period
this summer, according to a letter
from the Oregon City Transportation
company to Major J. F. McOndoe,
corps of engineers, United States
army. The letter is partly as follows'
"As the extreme low water period ot
1913 has about ended, we wish to con
gratulate your office for the manner
in which navigation was made possi
ble to Salem for the entire season.
"We also wish to say our boats
have had less trouble than at any low
water season for the past four years.
When the gauge at Salem was below
zero, our steamer Orgona was taking
35 tons over the shoalest bars, and we
feel that if the policy adopted this
year is carried out in the future, our
boats will be able to go through with
50 tons without lining.
J. D. Renner writes to, The Enter
prise that he is not a candidate for
council, and desires the fact made
public.

WILSON TELLS
HUERTA TO
GET OUT
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 3. President
Huerta must resign the presidency of
Mexico without loss of time and must
not leave as his successor General
Aureliano Bianquet, his minister of
war, or any other member of his cffi
cial coterie whom he might be expect
ed to control.
This ultimatum from Washington
was conveyed to President Huerta
through his private secretary, Senor
Rabago by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the
American'charge d'affairs, acting un
der instructions from the state depart
ment. Senor Rabago presented the mem
orandum to his chief late Sunday, but
up to this evening President Huerta
had returned no answer, and, as far
as could be learned had guarded its
contents from almost all of his offi
cial and intimate counsellors.
INDIAN DIES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 Senator
Lane has had his attention called to
me case of an Indian dying in a shack
onthe Grande Ronde reservation in
destitution although he owned the
land his shack stood on and had some
$240 in tribal funds.
Next Wednesday will be the big
bargain day for news.
The trouble with some would-be
generous men is that they always
leave their money at home in their

-IN
STATE TO VOTE ON BILLS AND
LOCAL ISSUES AT THE
POLLS TODAY ' . " ,
TOWNS TO CONSIDER PROHIBITION
More Than a Score Will Decide to
Line in Wet or Dry Columns
" cf State When Votes
Are Counted
Twenty-six towns in the state will
today vote on the question of prohib
ition. Besides the five measures that
are to be submitted to the people of
the state today, there are local issues
that vary in importance with the
counties that are concerned. - .
Two appropriation bills for the sup
port of the University of Oregon, a
bill creating the office of county at
torney instead of district attorney, the
Workingmens Compensation act, and
the sterilization bills were passed by
the last legislature of the state and
submitted to the people on a referen
dum demand.
In addition, this county will vote on
a tax for the creating of a county li
brary out of the city institution, rais
ing money to enable the authorities to
place branch libraries in all of the
cities and towns of the county under
the supervision of thfe county court.
The question submits to the people
whether or not the county court
should levy a special tax for the sup
port of such a library plan. The ap
propriations for the university deal
with funds for the erection and repairs-
on buildings and total $175,000.
Local interest centers in the county
attorney act as E. L. Hedges was ap
pointed under its provisions for this,
county by Governor West before the
referendum was called.
Milwaukie is to vote on the prohib
ition issue there today, as is Oregon
City. The question of raising the
salary of the county school superin
tendent is also to be placed on the bal
lot. Multnomah county votes on a new
bridge, Hood River on the recall of its
county court, Clatsop on $400,000
worth of good roads.

NEW SHIPMENT OF
Men s Heavy
PARENTS START POLICE OUT ON
SEARCH FOR THEIR LOST
DAUGHTER
THREATENED TO LEAVE BEFORE
Neighbors Claim She Often Said She
Would Runaway or Kill Her-
self When She Became
of a Legal Age
Without giving the slightest hint
that she would not return to her home
17-year-old Rosetta Robertson went
out to the barn on her father's farm
to do the cnores and failed to come
back Sunday aiternoon. As a result,
the mother is nearly prostrated and -the
entire countryside is searching
for the missing girl. The family lived
on the Abernethy on the outsikirts of
this city. , . . .
According to the neighbors the girl
was badly overworked, being forced
to do all the heavy work around the
farm. It is said that she was never
allowed to dress in any kind of clothes
except such old rags that the mother
had cast. off as unfit for wear.- One
woman, who is acquainted with the
family, affirms that the girl was sel
dom properly clothed and that, when
neighbors offered to give clothes to
her, the mother would reply that they
would be destroyed.
Rosetta was never allowed to meet
any one outside of her own family ex
cept on rare occasion when she would -be
sent to a neighbor's to do a. chore,
according to a next door family. The
same person continues that on these
occasions the visits of the girl were
short, and that, in case she would be
away from home longer than " her
mother thought necessary, a sound
thrashing with a broom handle await
ed her. -
,w One woman, living nearby, says that
Rosetta told her that on her eigh
teenth birthday, which is November
28, she would either run away or
drown herself to escape the "terrors"
of her home. ( ;
The missing girl is one of ten chil
dren, all but two being at home. She
has gone through five grades of the
Oregon City schools and can read and
write fairly well. V
