WETS LET TIME SLIP BY WHILE
MATTER IS DEBATED AT
SALEM
THEY" WANT A RESTRAINING ORDER
Claim Election Was Held Illegally and
Taxpayers Will Have to Meet
Increase in Taxes in
the City'
Forty-five minutes after the order
had been entered by the county court j
prohibiting the sale of liquor in the j
city limits after January 1, Lawrence
Ruconich brought a complaint asking
the circuit court to restrain the coun-1
ty officials from declaring the election
results.
The complaint asks that the court
restrain the county court from enter
ing such an order on the ground that
the submission of the question of pro
hibition at a special election was il- j
legal and tne results ot tnat pre
tended" election void.He also alleged
that the loss of the $10,000 revenue
from the saloons would necessitate
higher taxes in the city and the prop
erty owners would be compelled to pay
more money into the city treasury
following the loss pf this material
source of revenue.
The complaint recites all of the acts
done by the city and county officials 1
in submitting this question to the peo
ple of the municipality at this time.
It-mentions the appointment of the
judges and clerks of the election and
the fact that the returns were certi
fied to the county clerk. It also points
out that the time at which this elec
tion was held was not the regular date i
for a city election and that the ques
ion of prohibition was submitted to
the people at a special time.
The complaint finally concludes by
asking the court to restrain the coun
ty court from entering its order and
declaring prohibition in effect in the
cky after the first of the year.
The county court met Saturday
morning and certified the returns. It
then issued an order prohibiting liquor
within the city limits of Oregon City
after January 1 and declared ths sec
tion of the county under the provis
ions of the local option law.
The order was filed at 9:45 o'clock.
The complaint was filed at 10:30
o'clock. Attorneys say that the com
plaint is worthless as it asks the court
to restrain the officials from doing
what they have already done. They
say that the only hope the wets have
in this county is to bring an action in
the circuit court asking for an order
setting aside the decision of the low
er court. The hearing on the com
plaint will be had before Judge J. U.
Campbell next Saturday.
Carson & Brown of Salem, appear
as attorneys in the case. The action
involves the result of the election in
the city and is the step that the wets
have been threatening to take here
since the votes were counted.

COUNTY TO SEND OUT
II
Clackamas county is going to send
Christmas greeting to a whole lot of
people who so far haven't been sure j
whether Clackamas was the name of
a county or of something good to eat. !
At' last such is the plan of O. E. Frey-;
tag, publicity manager of the Oregon ;
City Commercial club, who wants ev
erybody in the county who has come
here from outside to send him at once
the name and address of some friend
or other person "back home."
Once having received these names,
it is the intention of Mr. Freytag to
send next month to each person so in
dicated a pretty Christmas card, bear
ing a Clackams couny view upon its
fee, and usual Yuletide decoration of
holly and berries. On this card will
be printed an inscription somewhat as
follows:
"Christmas greeting from Clackam
as county, Oregon, where you ought
to live and be happy. Write to tke
Oregon City Commercial club for in
formation regarding this land of prom
ise, and then you will see why you
ought to come to the farthest West
and grow up with the country."
Mr. Freytag expects that there will
be a ready reply to his request for
names, and assures everyone that the
Christmas cards will be attractive in
every way for they are to be printed
in Oregon City.

LAND DIVIDED AND
THE WORLD UNITED
Strange things are happening in
these progressive days, and if we
were living in the times when super
stition attributed all unusual pranks
to fairies, surely these imaginary
spirits would be credited with some
great achievements.
Fifteen or twenty years ago nobody
would have believed that human hand
could have wrought the changes that
have taken place in the narrow little
strip of land which connected he two
western continents. Now that lid
is divided in order, that the whole
world may be more closely united.
"Panama and the "Canal in Picture
and Prose" tells the complete story
of this wonderful transformation. Wil
lis J. Abbott, the author of this new il
lustrated book, takes his readers in
through the front door of Panama,
shows them the detailed construction
of the canl, escorts them through the
surrounding country, and tells them
of the natives. After reading this
book one will wonder if any human
force could hav accomplished such
results. It must have taken the mag
ic wand of an enchantress to make
a living garden out of the hopeless
wilderness and bring together the two
great oceans.
The young as well as the older
members of the family will enjoy this
book, for it is filled with pictures that
entertain, while they also educate,
and everybody is now interested in
knowing all they can about the migh
ty waterway.
The Enterprise is offering this vol
ume to its readers at the bare ex

Bud Anderson through his manager,

that he had received a telegram from
T. J. McLarty, Jack Britton's manager,
in which final arrangements were
made for a 20 round fight at Vernon
on December 13.
According to the agreement each
fighter will weigh 135 pounds three
hours before the fight. It has not yet
been decided whether the fight will
be in the afternoon or in the evening.
Donald will go south Sunday, leav
ing Anderson to follow the fore part
of next week. The latter will stay
around his home in Vancouver -next
week and. probably start minor train
ing stunts. Anderson plans to arrive
in the southland' in time to see the
Rivers-Cross fight in Vernon on
Thanksgiving day and challenge the
winner.
The Anderson party, consisting of
Bud, his manager, Donald, and his
partner, Dupuis, arrived in this city
late this afternoon to do a little act
in a local theatre. There has been
considerable excitement locally over
his proposed performance. Yesterday
the mayor issued a statement in which
he prohibited any performance where
there would be boxing or sparring of
any kind. It was thought for a while
that the fighter would be arrested up
on performance but Bud cut out his
boxing and confined himself to rope
skipping and shadow boxing.

FOR WAR
SALEM, Ore., Nov. 15. (Special)
Congressman W. S. Hawley has di
rected his secretary here to make ar
rangement for the holding of an ex
amination at Salem on Saturday, No
vember 29, 1913, for the purpose of as
certaining the mental and physical
qualifications of young men who may
desire to be appointed to the United
States Military and Naval Academies.
Mr. Hawley will make his nomina
tions after considering the reports
submitted by a competent physician
and teacher who will thoroughly and
carefully examine the candidates.
The candidates must be actual resi
dents of the first congressional dis
trict in order to be eligible for appoint
ment by Congressman Hawley and the
competitive examination is open to
all such eligible candidates between
the ages of 17 and 22 years of age
when aspirants for appointment to the
military academy, and between the
ages of 16 and 20 years of age when
aspirants for appointment to the na
val academy. There being no fund
available for the purpose of paying
the expense of the competitive exam
ination a small fee will be required of
each candidate taking the examina
tion. It is suggested that all young men
desiring to take this examination
write to Ronald S. Glover, Secretary
of Congressman Hawley, Salem, Ore.,
for further information.
The entrance requirements to the
academies are very strict and for this
reason a very thorough examination
will be made of the candidates who
enter the competitive examination,
candidates must be strong and well
balanced physically and it is sugguesjt
ed that candidates living at a distance
from Salem be assurred of this by an
examination of a physician before
making the trip to Salem.
To determine their mental qualifi
cations, they will be examined on read
ing and writing, spelling, punctuation,
grammar, geography, history, algebra
and geometery. A principal and two
alternates will be nominated by Mr.
Hawley to take the entrance examin
ations to each academy and it is ex
pected a score or more will contest for
these nominations.

charter election Monday. The spe
cial charter has been distributed to ev
ery voter in the city and the people
will be given a chance to express their
.opposition to the new set of laws at
the election.

tion to some of the measures of the
charter and a campaign, which; al

work in the scramble for votes.
OREGON LOSES FAST
ETO
Punting was one phase of the Oregon-Washington
game in which Ore
gon was excelled 10 to 7. A review
of the game, play by play, shows that
Fenton, doing the footwork for the
University of Oregon, made two punts
which were better than 50 yards.
These brought his average close to 45
yards. Sutton's average was about
35 yards.
In the first quarter three punts net
ted Fenton an average of a little more
than 40; in the second quarter, five
kicks held up almost to same stana
ard. There was one boot of more than 45
in the third, and in the fourth he made
one of 55 yards. This footwork had
a lot to do with keeping the Washing
ton score down..
However, what Oregon gained by
Fenton's superior footwork was al
most lost by repeated penalties.
Oregon lost 45 yards because of off
side and 15 yards for holding. Sutton,
punting for Washington, averaged
near 35 yards. The total 'punting ex
change gave Oregon and advantage of
approximately 100 yards, 40 yards to
the good after deducting the loss by
penalties. .
