LIQUOR MEN TO MAKE TROUBLE BEATEN IN OREGON CITY, THEY TRY TO DEFEAT CHARTER OF WEST LINN 4HE WORKING OVERTIME AGAINST IT Both Sides to Meet at Session of Im provement Club on Thursday Night to Discuss All of Its Phases Liquor interests are working night and day in West Linn to defeat the city charter that is proposed at the coming election and have' taken every step to line up the people against the measure at the polls, it is charged. Evidence.is in the hands of some of those who favor the measure that the interests that have been driven out of Oregon City are trying to get loca tions on the west side, it is said. As the proposed charter will be submit ted to the people this month, it con tains a clause that prevents the pres ence of saloons and makes the town dry. It also provides that the people may, by an initiative petition of 15 per cent of the voters, call for an election at which the people may vote the city wet if they choose to do so. The ef forts of the saloons are said to be di rected against the charter from the first, because of its prohibition clause and they are believed to be exerting every influence against it for that rea son. Thursday night, December 11, the West Side Improvement club will meet in the city hall of West Linn to talk over the charter provisions and it is expected that a lively debate will, follow. The friends and enemies of the measure are to have the oppor tunity to be heard and the discussion will, probably be rather heated before the meeting is over. The charter election is scheduled for December 29 in West Linn at which time the people will vote on the measure that the city council and the charter committee have submitted to them.

MONEY TO MEET DEBT Nick Hondrus, the Greek who was arrested on a complaint charging him with attempting to leave the state while bills were- outstanding against him, managed to pay up the money that he owed Monday morning and was released from the county jail. When he was searched, he had no money on his person. It is said that he wore a belt with the $2000 that he is kn6wn to have had safely tuekf.d away in it.. When the officers started the search, he slipped the belt to a companion and the officers lost track of the money. After spending Sun'py in the county jail, he sent word that he would pay part of the debt but he later decided that he would pay all of it and get out. Most of the debt was for medical services. Hondrus received $2000 for injuries that he received while at work in the Willamette paper mill and was plan ning to go back to Greece when he was taken. - FATHER BECK'S WILL IS FILED INSTRUMENT APPEARS IN COUN TY CLERK'S OFFICE TO BE MADE OF RECORD DONATES ESTATE TO HIS Pastor is Made Administrator of Estate by Court After Resigna tion of Archbishop- Gives Personal Effects By the provisions of his will, Father F.

TO GATHER MANY VOLUMES FOUR TOWNS ARE TO PARTICIPATE Sixteen Hundred Children Take Full Advantage of Opportunities and Scheme to Collect for Institution The children of Oregon City, Glad stone, Willamette and West Linn are arranging for a book tag day, the pro ceeds to be used by the Oregon City Library for the purchase of children's books. This tag. day will be held on or about January 1st, 1914, and the children will have almost the entire management of the work. Tags will be printed in the shake of a book, ap propriately labelled for the occasion, and sold for ten cents each. Every body is surely willing to help to the tune of so small amount, but with ev erybody working through the children for their own good, results are sure to come. The Oregon City Library is now a County Library without County aid. Everyone in Clackamas County has the right to acquire a card and secure books. The children of Ore gon City and their cousins in the neighboring cities all know of this right and 1600 of them are now draw ing books. The Live Wires will have a crab dinner at noon Tuesday in the rooms of the Commercial club when the members meet to discuss matters of current interest that have happened during the week or suggestions that may be made for municipal improve ment. ' , Several questions are scheduled to come before the meeting at the con ference Tusday noon. Committee re ports will probably be made and the question of improving the Pacific Highway will again be discussed. As the club took the first stand in the matter, it will have to outline further plans for the campaign that it expects to conduct.

Wednesday, Dec. 10 DOWNEY SUES TO STOP COUNCIL ASKS COURT TO RESTRAIN IT FROM MAKING LEVY AND COLLECTING MONEY CLAIM CHARTER OF CITY ILLEGAL Issues Submitted to People by a Reso lution Instead of by an Ordin ance as Is Required by Law James Downey, the owner of the waterworks in the town of Willam ette and the principal taxpayer of that town has brought suit for himself and all others similarly situated, through his attorneys Dimick & Dimick and Clarence L. Eaton, against J. E. Jack, as assessor of Clackamas county. The complaint alleges that a pro posed charter for Willamette was filed with the recorder on September 15, 1813, and that the council of Wil lamette failed, neglected and refused to order its submission to the peopl-j by ordinance and failed to require that notice and other legal require ments should be given by ordinance as is required by the statutes of Ore gon governing Willamette. - It says the council attempted to act by resolution anothat the charter is void and was not legally adopted. The proposed charter contained a pro vision authorizing the council to levy a five mill tax and if the people de sired another five mill, making in all ten mills. The levy for 1913, however, was to be three mills and the charter provid ed that no ordinance need be passed making the levy, the charter purport ing to authorize it.. It is alleged that the charter is void and that the tax is illegal. A restraining order is prayed for from the court enjoining the entry and extension of the alleged illegal as sessment of three mills upon the rolls. For the last three or four years when ever the Willamette council has at tempted to levy a tax, suit has been brought by some citizen of Willam ette against its collection and. so far the plaintiffs have prevailed, owing to failure to strictly follow the pro visions of the law. The defense will probably be conducted by Gilbert L Hedges, county attorney, who is by law made the legal representative of the county officials or by Livy Stipp, city attorney for Willamette.
