E. S. Follansbee, member of several
local orders and a prominent business
man of the city, died at 8 o'clock Sat
urday night at a Portland hospital
where he had gone for treatment.
He has been ill for sometime and
has had two operations performed for
dydro-thorax, but the physicians were
unable to give him permenant relief.
Only a few days ago, he went to the
hospital for the last operation and
seemed to be considerably improved
after the crisis was past. Friends
and members of the orders to which
he belongs visited im in Portland
seyeral times during the days that he
was there and a few of them were
with him but a short time before his
death. The end came suddenly and
surprised all of those who had seen
him and to whom he appeared in bet
ter health than he had been for some
time. He was keeper of the records of
Tualatin Tent of the Knights of the
Macabees was a member of the local
lodge of Elks, and of the Woodmen.
He was about 45 years of age and had
lived in the city for a number of years.
He had served with the volunteer fire
department and was a member of one
of the companies. For sometime, he
has been in business with Frank
Champion in the Panitorium on Main
street,.
He is survived by his widow and
two daughters, Mrs. Roy Tobin of
Powell River, B. C, and Mrs. Vane

services that are conducted when the

FLOUR MILLS
POUND
CARVER
LETTER SENT TO COUNCIL
WARNING MEMBERS TO
BE CAREFUL
PROMOTES ROAD TO SELL OUT
Officials, do Not Appear Worried if
Line Should go to Another
Concern After it Has
Been Built.-
Charges that Stephen Carver pro
moted lines that he did not finish and
that the city council of Oregon City
had best beware of any proposition
that he makes were contained in a
letter and clippies sent by the Wil
helm & Sons company of Benton coun
ty, flour manufacturers, to the city
council Saturday.
- The letter was read in the special
council meeting Saturday afternoon.
It was considered especially although
the matter of the. franchises of the
two lines was not brought up by the
members. The company declared that
it had no personal interest in . the
franchises that were before the coun
cil but it had seen that Carver had
asked for the franchises and took up
on Itself the warning of the city
fathers as to the facts about the man
with whom they were dealing.
It also ientioned that Carver had
promoted the Corvallis & Alsea line
that is now owned by the Southern
Pacific company and held that he was
a schemer who promoted lines to be
turned over to other roads.
The city fathers toolyio action in
the matter, however, as some of the
members evidently do not oppose the
later transfer of the title in the fbau
to another line as long as the city Is
assurred of a competing company in
to the town.
. If the line is once built, though it
should later be turned over to another
company for operation, the sentiment
in some quarters favors the granting
of the franchise to the road ,even in
face of these possible facts. The warn
ing from the flour mills, consequently,
will probably have little effect upon
the council in its determination upon
the merits of the franchise that is
proposed.
Baptist Minister
Visits Rink To
See Conditions
To determine for himself how the
place was managed, Rev. W. T. Milli
ken, pastor of the First Baptist church
made an inspection trip to the skat
ing rink in West Linn Saturday.nighl.
The moment that he entered the
door, he was "spotted" by some of
the employes of the place but his In
spection satisfied him that there were
several visitors on the floor of the
rink who were in a semi-intoxicated
condition and that the place was fre
quented, to a large extent, by young
people hardly more than the high
school age.
On the floor of the rink, the pastor
discovered seyeral men whom he be
lieved to be decidedly under the in
fluence of liquor, and who were, ap
parently, allowed the freedom of the
floor along with the other skaters
there. .
Saturday nights the crowds at the
rink are usually large and they were
so -this week. , As soon as he entered
the place, he was recognized and the
mangers immediately placed them
selves on their guard though the men
whom the paster believed intoxicated
were allowed to remain, it is said.

Garbage will be collected through

few days in anticipation of permenant
arrangements that will be made by
the city council should the ordinance
that has been introduced be passed.
The chief has issued instructions
that -all residents on the hill section
of the city should have their garbage
ready for the wagons by December 2,
and those in the dowji town district
by the day following. The depart
ment is planning to make systematic
canvass of the city and to collect such
garbage as may be ready for it by the
time that the wagons are sent "around.
Hereafter ,the wagons will call reg

Wednesdays of the month.
MAY BUILD BARN

Now that the city is assured of a
new postoffice, there is talk of a barn
in the rear of the building ftjr the ac
comodation of the rural mail carriers
who run out, of the city along all of
the rural routes.
Seven men make Oregon City their
headquarters and run out each day
along the rural routes to all parts of
the county. The scheme is now to
provide a stable in the rear of the
new postoffice . for the accomodation
of the carriers. It is estimated that a
frame building would be inexpensive
and would house the horses and carts
that the carriers use while they are in
the city and before they begin their
trips into the country districts.

BIGGER LEVY
MEETS DEFICIT
CITY COUNCIL TAKES CARE OF
LOSS OF REVENUES FROM -SALOONS
CARRIES AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE
Ordinance Becomes Effective as Soon
as Signed by Mayor Holds
Special Meeting in the
Afternoon
To pass the tax levy for the new
year, the city council met in a special
session Saturday afternoon in the
council chambers.
The ordinance was sent thorugh to
its third reading and final passage and
carried. It will become efffective im
mediately after its approval by the
mayor as it carries an emergency
clause.
The levy was raised from eight and
one-half mills to 10 mills for all pur
poses. Of this amount, nine and one
half mills will be used for the gen
eral purposes of the city government
and the other one-half will be devoted
to the uses of the cjty library.
The council increased the levy be
cause of the loss of the $10,000 an
nually from the saloons. The finance
committee had at first thought to get
along on the old levy but discovered
that the street improvements and
other work that had been planned
would pall for more money than the
eight and 'one-half mills would levy
and later came into the meeting with
a request for more money. The or
dinance was at once introduced and
Saturday reached its final passage.
The increased levy takes care of the
deficit that the city would otherwise
have now that it has lost the revenue
from the saloons.
