V,- ROAD TH AR WELCOMED SPE- PLAN TO BUILD BETTER HIGHWAYS Others Expect to Vote on Issue With , in Next Few Days and Reports are Coming in to Clerk's Office Special road taxes, amounting to thousands of dollars, have been voted in 15 out of the 59 road districts of the county; Under the laws of the state, the road district may levy . a special tax fjr the improvement of the highways within its own boundaries. In addi tion to the amount that it received from the county out of the general road fund, the special tax is placed in the hands of the road supervisor to be spent upon the highways that run through that particular district. In this way, the 15 districts are planning to get much better roads during the coming years and are pro posing to spend more on their high ways than the regular apportionment . from the general fund ' would give them. Following are the districts in the county with the special tax levies that they have made and other may yet file their reports in the office of the county clerk: Numbers three, 10 mills; five, 10 mills; seven, four mills; six, five mills; 21, six mills; 22 three mills; 33, five mills; 35, 10 mills; 38, 10 mills; 41, 10 mills; 48, 10 mills; 50, five mills; 52, 10 mills; 54, two mills; " 55, seVen mills; and 56, 10 mills. With the money that will be raised by these special taxes, the districts plan to do a great deal of improve ment work on their highways during the coming year. SANDY ROAD TAXES ARE LEVIED BY VOTE SANDY, Ore., Dec. 1. Five road districts here, including Sandy, have voted special road taxes to be spent on the side roads and the balance on the main Portland road. In the Sandy district five mills additional tax was levied at a meeting of 50 tax payers. Boring, Firwood and Cottrell voted 10 mills for road purposes. At Salmon River a 5-mill tax was levied. There is a general movement for bet ter roads all through this territory. C. B. Boswell, of the commercial de partment of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, has inter viewed business men and citizens on a proposition of bringing, electricity to Sandy for. lighting purposes. It was found that a large majority want electric lights as soon as the wires are extended here. The . extension probably will be made in the near fu ture. Miss Kate Junker, daughter of Cas per Junker, underwent an operation for appendicitis at the Good Samari tan hospital last Sunday and is recov ering. Architect Kleeman, of Portland, has let the contract for the Junker build ing here and the contractor has started construction work.

In the same way that marriages have been celebrated in Greece for hundreds of years, the nuptials of Miss Hariklea Traeklea and Thomas Daletos, both of Oregon City, is be ing observed in this city. They were married in Portland in the Greek Orthodox church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock by Father Panaretos Anagnosto Ponlos. Sixteen seven-passenger automobiles were en gaged by the party and they drove through the business section of Port land before coming to Oregon City. With their Oregon City friends, over 200 were present Sunday evening at the celebration at the new home of the couple at Sixteenth and Division streets. Old Greek dances were danced to old country music during the evening and games, which the members of the party had brougnt over from their old home, were played. Monday morning the celebration was renewed although many of those who were present at Sunday's festiv ities were absent Monday. The greater part of the day was spent dancing out doors to the tune of Greek music. A dinner was served the fore part of the afternoon after which the guests returned to their dancing. The celebration will continue for several days by the friends of the couple and by the relatives for still longer. Tables full of the best to eat and drink are at the ready disposal of the guests and the stirring Greek mu sic continues from morning to night. Both bride and groom were born in the old country, the former having come to America about a year ago and the latter close to five years. They will live in this city. LOCAL BIKE IN PICTURES In the December issue of "Popular Mechanics" there is a picture of Roy Templeton and Miss Fay Cooke, both of this city, riding on the former's motorcycle in the last Portland Rose Festival. The machine was decorated with roses and would have probably won a prize had there been a prize for decorated motorcycles. TOURNAMENT DATE FIXED BY COMMITTEE May 16 was the date set for the an nual field meet of the Clackamas School league, at Saturday's meeting of the executive committee. At this time will also be played the cham pionship game of the baseball tourna ment between the two leading teams in the league. This league has been in existance for several years. It is composed of all the grammar and academic schools in the county. Oratorical, debating and literary contests are promoted among the schools as well as athletic games. It was decided to hold these last named contests during the month of February. The officers of the league are de termined to make this year the best of any in the life of the organization and will spare no efforts to further this end. Already many of the coun ty scnools have sent in tneir entrance fees and signed their intentions to compete for the honors. AUTO BLANKS ARE READY FOR OWNERS The usual forms upon which the owners of automobiles make out their applications for licenses from the secretary of state have been received at the office of the county clerk. Though the state official has sent these forms to all car owners whose addresses he has on file, he has also sent the county clerks a full supply in order to meet the demand from the owners of new cars who have to file their applications for the first time. The licenses expire with the first of the year and have to be renewed. Clackamas county has not yet receiv ed from the state treasurer its share of the license money that has been collected though it is expected that the fund will be forthcoming by Jan uary 1. In the state, the licenses total several thousands of dollars. EXCAVATION STARTS ON NEW POSTOFFICE BUILDING Actual excavation has been started for the new Oregon City postoffice on Main street between Eighth and Ninth streets. A gang of men in vaded the property Monday morning with several teams and scrapers and before nightfall the work was well along. Now that the work has been start ed, construction will be rushed so that the local office will be able to occupy the new building as early in the year as possible. It will be one story , in height and built of concrete. Read about Huntley's "Holiday Open ing next Thursday. See page 3. Adv. 4 5 J h- .' -Li -- MX LINN E. JONES Mayor PEOPLE APPROVE " ALL AMENDMENTS PLAN TO BUY TRACT OF LAND IS DOWNED AT ALL OF WARDS TEMPLETON, HACKETT AND ANDREWS Dry Forces Win in Two of the Three Voting Places Interest in the Outcome is Weak and Ballots are Few Municipal election in Oregon City Monday resulted in the re-election of Linn E. Jones for mayor ,the re-election of M. D. Latourette for city treas urer, and in the councilmanic race a victory in two wards for the "dry" candidates. Jones and Latourette were unopposed. The vote was as follows: Ward 1 Linn E. Jones, 293; M. D. Latourette, 289; for council; J. O. Staats, 159 ; 'H. M. Templeton, ,192. Ward 2 Jones, 462; Latourette, 427; for council: E. C. Hackett, 315; Philip Soreghan, 200. Ward 3 Jones, 203 ; Latourette, 190; for council: E. B. Andrews, 151; O. W. Griffin, 79; John Gillette, 1; George Ott, 1. In ward 1 a vote was case for Joe Soesap for mayor. Soesap is a full blooded Indian, and fomerly a noted local ball player. Three charter amendments and au ordinance were also voted upon. The ordinance provided for the appropria tion of $2,500 for the purchase of a tract of land as a public recreation park. This met overwhelming defeat, the vote against it in the three wards being 573 and the vote for it being 361. An amendment to the city charter giving the council authority to fix the salary of the chief of police, carried 562 to 395. Another amendment .making it nec essary for the council to concur in all removal orders of the mayor rela tive to the police force, carried 536 to 355. The third amendment, providing for par value in the public elevator bonds of ?50, carried 476 to 366. A oout 95S votes were cast for may or in the election in Oregon City while the voting strength at other elections where the interest has been more cen tered has been between 1700 and 1800 votes. The opposition to the ordin ance proposed for the purchase of a tract of land for public uses came from all parts of the city and the vote shows that the sentiment against the purchase of the land was not con fined to any particular section of the town. The submission of the amendment for the fixing f the salary of the chief came with the discovery that the cnar- ter limit is too small to properly re- numerate the officer for the work that he does and that the city council could not raise that- amount if it paid it as a part of his salary. The chief has, however, been receiving more than the limit' because of other work that has been made part of his duties. The amendment that authorizes the council to take a hand in removal of the mayor relative to the police force came about after the discovery that the council has no authority to inter vene when the mayor discharges any member of the force. This was brought out during the differences be tween the council and the mayor dur ing the Dimick administration. Results in other county town;elec tions were as follows: Canby: For mayor, William H. Blair, 74; Dr. H. A. Dedman, 2; Wil liam Lucke, l;.John Simms, 1; M. J. Lee, 1 ; Adam Knight, 2. For treas urer, L. D. Walker, 79; John Simms, 1 ; For council, the following were elected: H. C. Gilmore, 81; D. O. Stacy, 80; George Meeks, 53; John Suthtrland, 52. -There are about 500 registered voters in Canby, and less than 100 voted. Gladstone: T. C. Howell for may or, Mmda E. Church for treasurer, and John N. Siever for recorder, were elected without opposition. The coun cilmen elected are: F. A. Burdon, 193; C. W. Parrish, 150; F. T. Barlow, 139. Molalla: For mayor, W. W. Eber hardt; recorder, D. C. Bowles; treas urer, S. G. Havermann; marshal, F. R. Coleman; councilmen, W. T. Echert, William Mackerell, F. M. Henriksen, L. W. Robbins, A. T. Shoemake, I. M Tolliver.

West Linn was incorporated only last Aug ust, but it is ambitious and it is said that a majority of the residents of that portion of Willamette who may be citizens of West Linn after Decem- j ber 31 when the annexation election is io De neia, are seeKing entrance in to the new municipality. L. L. Porter, recorder of West Linn, issued notices Monday, calling ai election for-December-31 to vote up on the question of annexing a part of Willamette. While all of the voters of West Linn will have an opportun ity to express themselves upon the de sirability of extending the town's boundaries, only those residents of Willamette who live in the territory ! whose annexation is proposed can vte On the proposition, which must i receive a majority in both the Willam- ene lerriiory aneciea anu m v esi Linn. Only a short time before the in corporation of West Linn, there was an attempt made by Willamette to extend its boundaries to include con siderable of the territory now em braced in West Linn, but the measure failed to pass by the close vote of 26 to 31. BODY OF ELK LIES IN STATE AT L E The body of E. S. Follansbee will lie in state in the lodge rooms Of the Elks' Temple from 9o'clock to 1:30 o'clock Wednesday while the funeral services will be conducted at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The interment will be made in Mountain View cemetery. Mr. Foll ansbee died Saturday night at the hospital in Portland shortly after the second operation there performed up on him for hydrothorax. He was a member of the local lodge of Elks, keeper of the records of Tualatin Tent of Knights of Macabees, mem ber of Fountain Hose company, and a prominent business man of the city for the past six years. The prisons of the land are choked with felons whose criminal careers began in the evasions and defaults of a browbeaten boyhood. The slums of the world are packed with women exiled to -degradation by the false pride and relentness of men such as you. LO TERRITORY The Congregational church has or ganized a "church-time kindergarten" for the children whose restlessness during the hours of service sometimes keep the parents away from home. At the first signs of restlessness on the part of the children, they can be taken from the audience room of the church and into a smaller one where a committee of the women ' has been appointed to take charge of them. The youngsters are held there until after the services when the parents may claim them and -take them home. This scheme has been devised by the church to care for the children and to allow as many . parents who have small children to attend church as possible without fear that the youngsters may arouse the congrega tion during the services. Away from the main audience room, the children can create no disturbance and the in terest of the parent is not distracted in any way from the services of the day. nnu 111 II VM 111 1914" IS SLOGAN PROHIBITION FORCES MAKING PLANS TO DRIVE LIQUOR TRAFFIC OUT TWO YEARS' DELAY IS SPURNED Home Rule Amendment Must First be Repealed Oregon Joins 11 States in Great Campaign - Against Saloons PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 1. (Spe cial to The Morning Enterprise) "Oregon Dry in 1914," is the slogan adopted here today at an enthusiastic meeting of the prohibition forces from all over the state, at which it was definitely determined to bring about at the general election, November 3, 1914, the repeal of the home rule amendment, which permits incorpor ated cities and towns to regulate the liquor traffic within their own bouud aries. At the same time the prohibi tionists will make strenuous efforts to vote the entire state dry. If success ful they must succeed on two proposi tions, the first to repeal the home rule amendment to the constitution, adopted In 1910; and the second to vote the saloons out of business in Oregon as a whole state. When the "dry" forces convened this morning, the Anti-Saloon League had a program that contemplated p'" the repeal of the home rule amend ment in 1914, and to extend the "dry" territory into a number of Oregon counties, now "wet." But this did not meet with favor from the more radical prohibitionists, who are after quick action, and they argued that 11 states are planning to conduct a "dry" cam paign in 1914, and insisted that Ore gon should line up for the fray, and not wait until 1916. This was finally agreed upon, and the Prohibition party, the Anti-Saloon League, the temperance organizations and many church leaders will join hands to stamp the alcholic traffic from the state. Several ministers from Oregon City attended the meet ing, here. TO FACE TRIAL TODAY The trial of the Oswego rioters opgns in the circuit court of the coun ty Tuesday. Last May, a gang of I. W. W. rioters appearned before the office of Home Telephone company at Oswego and demanded that the men quit work. When their demands were refused, the gang broke the glass and prop erty of the company and injured J. F. McCann, J. Wood, and C. L. Amsbary, the employes on duty. The indictments were returned by the grand jury that met during June and the following names appear in the charges: Ernest Brolliar, J. Y. Lohr, Clyde Oakley, B. Westcott, J. Olson. E. E. Illes. G. Lewellen, E. Miles, Fred Ream, George Egner, C. E. Tradup, C. E. Swallow. "Blackie" Illes is in Texas where Sheriff Mass went for him sometime aaro. His case was taken - into the criminal court of appeals upon a tech nicality and the sheriff will probably have ot make another trip for his man. JUNIOR GIRL DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS Miss Vera Camp, who died at the home of her parents in this city Fri day, was buried Sunday in Portland. She has been ill for several months. Miss Camp had spent a large part of her life in this city and had many friends here. She was a student in the Oregon City High school, being in the junior class. She was 17 years of age. When a father is not the 'best frien" of his children, it is because he is their worst enemy. There are more ways ot spending money than there are of making it OREG FRIENDS SURPRISE MR. AND MRS.

FOR SECOND TIME SALEM VOTES DRY SALEM, Ore., Dec. 1. For the sec ond time in one month the anti-saloon element has made a clean sweep in this city, the amendment to the city charter to prevent the licensing of sa loons having won at the election to day by a maj-ority of about 700. The majority for local option at the No vember election was 487. Explanation of the increased ma jority is that the saloonmen did not make as determined a fight at the election today as at the other one, and that they have determined to make their final stand in the courts. Every ward in the city gave a majority for the amendment. In ward 1, R. N, Hoover, "dry" can didate, defeated William Gilchirst, wet" candidate, by a majority of 66 and James McClellan, "dry" candidate defeated W. H. Dalrymple, "wet" can- didate,by a safe majority. Even a bum actor can make a hit with the audience by breaking a lot of dishes. , CRIMINAL CASES ARE T J. R.
