GET NAMES BACK
ON THE PETITIONS
Municipal Association Forms
Plans to Meet Killing of
Signatures.
"CAN'T," SAY LIQUOR MEN
Non-Registered Signers Urged to
Register Quickly Failure to Al
low for Change of Address
May Help Some More.
The Municipal Association has adopted
a new maneuver intended to offset the.
wholesale elimination of slam a Hires from
the $1000 liquor license ordinance peti
tion. Paul Rader opened this campaign
yesterday. It Is one of reinstatement,
whereby Mr. Rader and his associates
hope to have many of the names that
have been cancelled, returned to- their
place on the petition. Thus It Is hoped
to get the. petition on the official ballot
and defeat the present attempt to dis
qualify it. Mr Rader says he is confi
dent this plan will work out.
The liquor interests take quite a differ
ent view of the situation. Their represen
tatives, who have been watching- the can
vass of the petition from morning to
night, say the proposition is doomed, re
gardleea of what restoratives may be ap
plied. Granting that such voters as are.
not registered may be authorized to have
their name:; appear, they say the petition
will be defeated because of the number of
names created by Imaginative solicitors.
Mr. Rader believes purely manufactured
names arc not present in sufficient quan
tities to kill the McKenna measure. The
Municipal Association wishes all who
signed the petition nnd have not yet
r?gistered to attend to that duty at once.
That changes of addresses and confusion
In the registration books that might thus
result have not been taken Into account
bv the city auditors office is believed by
supporters of the ordinance. This theory
will be put to the test without delay.
Mandamus proceedings cannot well bft
brought until the City Auditor definitely
refuses to place the ordinance on the bal
lot and this he cannot do until the can
vas is complete.
Checking over the petition continued all
day yesterday at the County Courthouse.
At the close of the day the work was
half completed. The percentage of worth
less signatures was about the same as on
Wednesday. Kive names were encoun
tered the addresses on which were "city."
The owners of these names could not be
located. They are John A. McDonnell,
C. F. Kellogg. O. H. Swanson, W. Can
ning and H. R. Alson.
An example of the methods resorted
to by seemingly mercenary solicitors was
shown In the petition filed by B. Cham
berlain. It was learned that in visiting
the Portland Pully Company's place ho
received the signatures of A. Silvas and
C A. Murphy, who say they told the soli
citor they were not registered voters.
They say they were told it made no dif
ference as names were needed and "the
more the better."
Among other signatures thrown out was
that of C. 7. Brown, giving address as
rl53 Twelfth street. This address was un
fortunate an it is occupied by the First
Presbyterian Church.
Six sections of the petition were can
vassed yesterday. Out of 324 names a
total of 149 were thrown out. In peti
tion IF there were 7? good names and 19
bad; In 16. 65 good and 49 rejected: in 17,
.'t good and ff rejected; in IS, 12 good and
39 bad ; in 19. six good and eight bad.
The first name In petition 2 had been ac
cepted when the canvass was closed for
the day.
BUILDING TOWN AT JOSLYN
V. W. Swan, of Keonewick, Sets Out
to Supplant Hamlet of Ringcii.
Judge A. R. Byrkett, of Bingen, Wash.,
who Is in the city, tells of the growing
Importance of his section, which is nearly
opposite Hood River, on the north bank
of the Columbia Rivr.
The town of Bingen is situated on the
line of the North Bank Railroad, and
W. W. Swan, a Kennewiek capitalist,
has purchased land for h new townsite
near by, which bids fair to develop into
an Important place. .
Mr. Swan recently bought a large part
of the old B. S. Joslyn donation land
claim from Judge Byrkett. the remain -dor
of the tract, which consists of 318
acres, being sold to the North Bend Rail
road Company as right-of-way. Mr.
fiwftll has large timber Interests near
Bingen. and among the improvements
contemplated by him on tho new town
Rile, which will be named Joslyn, in
boner of the old pioneer, are a large
box factory, a fine hotel for tourists mid
summer boarders, and numerous other
houses, for rent or for sale. Mr. Swan
already has three sawmills In opera
tion, making lumber with which to com
plete his several building projects. The
box factory, when equipped, will con
sume a great deal of the output of the
mills.
Efforts Will be made to have the post
office, named Bingen by some Germans
who first settled there, changed to Joslyn,
and it Is thought the railroad officials
"will so name the station.
Judge Byrkett grew reminiscent as he
talked yesterday and told how E. S. Jos
lyn, the pioneer of the place, was driven
off bis ranch In the Indian War of 15
and 1556 by t he savages, barely escaping
to the Oregon side alive. The "marauders
killed a boy who was working for him
ut the time, and burned the house and
barns, even wantonly destroying many of
his cattle T.atcr the Government built
a fort on Joslyn's claim, which the troops
occupied for three years, until tho In
dian scare had passed. Mr. Joslyn put
In a claim of $1500 against the Govern
ment, and a singular coincidence i3 re
marked In the fact that on the day of
Mr. Joslyn's death in Los Angeles, which
occurred about a year ago, there came
to his address a certificate from the
Government to pay the amount of his
claim.
The site of the new town of Joslyn is

long to the ground, ten feet below, with
one leg twisted under the other. He

SHAPIS NQWCUTOFFi
Petition Circulators Barred
From Clerk's Office.
BECAME A REAL NUISANCE
Fall on Voters Tooth and Vail a
They Emerge Are Relegated
'ow to the Passageways
and Outside Kntranees.
Bearers of petitions for the Initiative,
and referendum met a sever shock yes
terday forenoon when they found their
way to the County Clerk's office barred
by an order forbidding entrance. After
hearing the thousandth complaint against
these tormentors of registered voters.
County Clerk Fields Issued the edictthat
henceforth circulators of petitions "tay
on the outside.
From the standpoint of tlmse at work
getting names for the multifarious meas
ures, the County Clerk's order Is a cruel
one, much the same as if some cruel
farmer - should corral a favorite fishing
hole and forbid the fishermen access.
The County Clerk's office held no
charm for the solicitors until the regis
tration books opened two weeks ago.
Then they found it a veritable mine.
Getting names at three cents apiece is
slow work unless some such place as the
registration desk can be found. Then the
money eomes fast. It got so a man had
little difficulty registering, but endless
work In signing the different petitions
presented. And there was no such thing
as saying no and being freed from fur
ther molestation. If you showed no in
clination to sign up. the solicitor wanted
to argue the point with you.
During the first few days of the reg
istration only a few knew of this favor
ite haunt of the festive voter but all
the solicitors in Multnomah County were
quickly onto, the snap and their number
Is second only to the number of voters",
judging by the small army of them that
has been infesting the Courthouse of
late.
When the army reported for its day's
onslaught on the registration crowds yes
terday forenoon and wns met with re
fusal to enter, there was some bitter
talking and a few veiled threats, then
the army deployed as skirmishers and
fell upon the newiy-rgistered voters as
they left the Clerk's office.

BUILDS INTO TIMBER BODY
Silverton Lumber Company Has 12
Miles of Railroad Under Way.
T. F. Short, of Monitor Mills, Ma
rion Count', was at the Perkins Hotel
yesterday. Mr. Short is proprietor of
the flouring mills and store at Mon
itor Mills, and told about a railroad
enterprise financed" by the Silverton
Lumber Company, which is capitalized
at $100,000. The road is now being
constructed from Silverton northward
up the right bank of Abiqua Creek,
a distance of about 12 miles, and is
designed to tap a fine body of timber,
which Mr. Short's company has 'ac
quired, lying between Abiqua and Sil
ver Creeks.
The company, of which J. D. Casey,
of Hilgard. Is president, and E. Cow
den, of Idaho, is general manager, is
said to have 200,000.000 feet of the
finest yellow fir and larch to be found
in the Willamette Valley. The mill
is located at Silverton, and the road
will he used to convey logs from the
timber tract to the mill. Mr. Short
said most of the lumber will be
shipped to points east of Portland,
and that the company had secured the
Portland rate east for Its products.

Write for " Smartness " and where to see the clothes.
Any man, woman or child in Portland who has $40 can pur
chase a lot in Rose City Park. FORTY DOLLARS. Thats all
it takes to swing one. of these delightful residence locations.
Before another cent is due, you may have had ample opportu
nity to sell this lot for half a hundred dollars more than you
agreed to pay for it.
Here's the' idea. You ride out to Rose City Park. You se
lect your lot. You agree to pay $400 for it. The terms are 10
per cent for the first payment and 3 per cent of the purchase
price every succeeding month until paid for. That means
that your first payment is $40; it means that every month
thereafter, you will be expected to pay $12.00,
But, the point is this. Long before your first monthly pay
ment is due, you will have several opportunities7 to sell out at an
advance of from $30 to $60, depending upon the kind of a se
lection you made in the first place. We make this statement
because we know of several people who have turned over a net
profit greater than the amount of their investment. If you hold
on, you'll make more.
Talk about demand. There never was a subdivision opened
up in the city of Portland that has created such a sfcir as Rose
City Park. Come to our office today and look at the lots that
have been crossed off the plat as sold. Call again tomorrow and
look at the same map and you would not recognize it. It keeps
our salesmen hustling to keep their pocket plats marked
up to date.
Now another word. What does $40 amount to? A heavy
smoker will smoke eight cigars a day, costing him $40 in a
little over a month. Many a man will spend half that amount
in conviviality. Candy, gum and knickknacks all amount to sev
eral dollars a month. It is a fact that many a man, half of them,
can easily cut down on their private expenses to such an extent
as to buy two lots in Rose City Park and not be inconvenienced
in the slightest. But, aside from economizing. There are
hundreds of men and women in Portland who could purchase
these lots without "cutting out" anything.
Think it over! Figure it over! You might just as well be
making your share of the prosperity of Portland as your neigh
bor. Own property; buy it and sell it; invest your profits and the
first thing you know, you will have a tidy fourtune. Are we right?
