CANBY, Ore., Nov. 18. (Special)
Louis Myers, of this city, was acci
dently shot and killed this afternoon
at 5:30 o'clock while hunting in the
Pudding river bottom about five miles
from here.
He was hunting with three com
panions, Claude Dick, Chester Wills,
and a man named Kruger. The four
were walking single file through the
thick brush in the river bottom when
a bird flew up between Wills and
Myers. Both hunters raised their
guns to shoot but the weapon of Wills
caught on a twig and was discharged.
The load struck Myers in the back
and many of the shot penetrated
through to the spinal column. As
soon as possible after the accident
was was sent to Canby and Dr. Wang
hurried to the place in an automo
bile. But he was too late for the
victim of the accident was dead before
aid arrived.
Myers was about 26 years old and
had lived in. this part of the country
most of his life. Besides his mother,
he leaves two brothers, Herbert and
John, and one sister, Mrs. Hattie My
ers, of Portland. He was well known
in Canby and the surrounding coun
try having graduated from the Canby
school and worked in and around this
city ever since.
Coroner William Wilson was sum
moned from the county seat and ar
rived here between nine and ten
o'clock.

COMMISSION TO
LAY PIPE LINE
COMMITTEE THINKS IT BETTER
PLAN THAN TO HAVE
CITY DO IT
WATER REPORT SOON TO BE READY
Engineer Expected Back and All Pre
liminary Work to Get the
Proposition Shaped is
Now Being Done
Construction work on the new pipe
line to the south fork of the Clack
amas may be supervised and directed
by an independent commission of tax
payers of the city.
The commission has considered sev
eral plans for the laying of the line
and the management of the details
before the new transmission line is
ready to turn over to the city. It has
been at work getting the plans into
shape to present to the voters of the
city with the least possible delay af
ter the report of Engineer Rands is
made to the association.
All of the necessary preliminary
work in preparing the plans will be
done before the report is made.
Should the statement show that the
water can be- obtained at a reasonable
price, the matter will be presented to
the voters at the earliest moment and
with the least delay.
Three plans have been suggested.
It was thought that the " line might
best be built under the supervision of
the council. The water board's di
rection of the matter was also consid
ered but it was finally determined
that it would be better to have all of
the construction work supervised by
an independent commission and that,
after the line had been laid and was
in operating condition, turn it over to
the city and the water board for use.
The members of the committe who
are handling this preliminary work
are Livy Stipp, B. T. McBain, W. S.
U'Ren, Don Meldrum and E. P. Rands.

One hundred editors, representing

This year the association met in
Portland, where the local club enter

all of the industries of the metropolis.
When the editors come to . Oregon
City next year, however, the Live
Wires will take them in tow and
things will be humming here for the
two days of the session.
The Live Wires have officially ex
tended the invitation to the associa

President Elbert Bede, editor o? the
Cottage Grove Sentinal, has assured
the organization that the editors will
accept the invitation.
At the Portland session, the conven

time and place for its next nieet.in.ir,
a matter that was left in the hands of
the officers.

MAY BE BUILT
PORTLAND ATTORNEY TALKS OF
FLAX AND A MILL TO
HANDLE PRODUCT
TO START WORK ON A BIG SCALE
Figure on Original Capital of at Least
$200,000 and a Payroll of One
Hundred Men Later
Enlarge Force
An industry that will start out with
a capital of $200,000 and grow to a
business of $1,000',000 may be started
in Oregon City by Charles R. Ritter,
a Portland attorney, and his backers.
At a meeting of the Live Wires
Tuesday, Mr. Ritter spoke of the ad
vantages that this climate offers for
the production of flax and said that
the country is the native home of the
product. The mill would be the only
one in the state as the one that form
erly run at Salem was burned and has
never been rebuilt. The plan now in
cludes a capitalization of $200,000 as
a starter and means that the greater
proportion of this money would be
raised in Portland and the remainder,
possibly 25 .per cent, would be taken
from the town in which the mill is lo
cated. Eugene Bosse, one of the foremost
flax authorities of the country and
owner of the Salem mill, is interest
ed in this proposition and is support
ing the men who are promoting it,
They believe that the Willamette val
ley is the ideal spot for the production
of flax and that a linen mill of this
kind, located in the heart of such a
valley where the crop can be so
easily produced, would be a paying
investment for the stockholders.
The plan now included the employ
ment of 100 men to begin the opera
tion of the plan and an increase in the
force and payroll as soon as the busi
ness conditions justify such an en
largement. If the plant is located al
Oregon City, it means the marketing
of all of the flax production of the
valley at this point, it is claimed, and
the bringing into the town a large vol
umne of business here every year.
The Salem plant did considerable
business with the farmers immediate
ly around that city during the time
that it was in operation and a market
was built up, which was lost with the
burning of the factory.
The office never seeks the man
with half the persistency of a credit
or on the same mission.

barnstorming series between the New

Sox. -
Sam Crawford, the veteran Detroit
slugger, occupied the Eddie Collins
role in the miniature world's series
yesterday. Sam came up in the fifth
inning with the bases full, and when
James Thorpe, Indian athletic prodigy
failed to scoop his line drive into right
field, Egan and Rath pattered across
the mud-caked plate and scored the
only two runs of the game.
Chicago 2, New York 0.
Close to 5000 interested Portland
fans and not a few from the outlying
cities were on hand for the strife.
Rain threatened to mar the big leag
guers' visit Monday, but Old Sol was
out early Tuesday morning, and while
the air was crisp and chilly, the ma
jor stars gave an interesting and al
together satisfying exhibition of the
American pastime.
Arthur Fromme was in the box for
the Giants and Jim Scott for the Sox.
Both are veteran hurlers.

SUIT ON AWARD
ASK COURT TO GRANT AN IN
JUNCTION ORDER TO RE
STRAIN CITY
OBJECT TO PRICE OF BID MADE
Claim it Casts Cloud Upon Title to
Lots and Blocks on High Street
and Mentions the Low
est Bidder.
Property owners on High street
have grought an injunction suit in the
circuit court of the county against the
city and J. W. Shea, the contractor,
preventing them from constructing
the improvement on that street that
had been ordered by the city council.
The service for the city was made
on Mayor Jones and William Stone,
city attorney, Tuesday. The owners
ask the circuit court to review the pro
ceedings of the council and to re
strain that body from awarding the
contract to Shea whom they claim
was not the lowest bidder for the
Work by $700.
They allege that the assessment of
the cost against the property will cast
a cloud upon the title and that they
will be materially damaged if the
heourt allows the council to go ahead
with its plans.
The suit is brought as the result of
the unavailing protest of the property
owners against the awarding of the
contract and the petition that the
former action be rescinded. The
council, at that time, refused to re
consider its decision and the prop
erty owners have taken the case into
the courts.

FREYTAG WORKS FOR
ONE LARGE EXHIBIT
O. E. Freytag represented Clack

the valley counties for the purpose of
planning a joint exhibit at the Pan

cisco. The counties organized under
the name "The Willamette Val'ey Im
position association," and cher.3 was
an enthusiastic attendance from all
eight counties, and a lively interest
was manifested.
Mr. Freytag was appointed one of
the executive committee, the first
meeting of which was held at Imper

p. m.
At the Salem meeting a movement
was started for the organizing of the
people of each ouunty, ir.to a working
body for the purpose cf cohw-ting
and assembling of a representative
exhibit from the counties. Clack
amas county people will want to have
their share of the exhibit, as is a!
ways the case when Clackamas ex
hibits the best. In order to have
Clackamas take its place, the people
should ,ake apersonal interest in the
work and coopeiate with the commit
tee. This committee will consist of
Mr. Freyt-is who i eprecents the com
mercial ;ino, r,pd a representative if

JODGE WILL SELECT
A COUNTY SEALER
Clackamas county is to have a dep
uty sealer of weights and measures as
soon as the required aparatus arrives
from the east, according to the plan
of Judge H. S. Anderson.
Under the state law, the county
court may fill that position ''but he
will be under the control of the state
treasurer, who has charge of that de
partment. This decision on the part of Judge
Anderson is due to the many com
plaints made recently in regards to
short weights and measures used by
a few county dealers and in response
to the requests of many of the busi
ness men of the city.

The silence of the church In mat

the theme of an address before the

nigm, Dy wiuiam McKenzle, of Port
land, secretary of the stationary' en
gineers' union.
He declared that the alienation of
labor from the church is due to the
fact that the representatives of capi
tal are leaders of the church work and
have an influence in the position that
it takes. He read the principles - of
the American Federation of Labor
and pointed out that they were for a
higher moral position. Labor is not
opposed to the teaching of Christ, he
said. He believed that the country
needs a physical revival more than a
spiritual oner
He declared that the church should
take a stand in labor questions and
use its influence for the right side.
He did not believe that the churches

Former Councilman - McGuire, of
Portland believed that the stand of
labor in the state will hereafter be

went into the situation in dry towns
