E TO CLOSE
E CLUB
Oregon CitV Churches Unite in
Asking District Attorney
to Act in Case.
RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED
Portland 'citizens Also Interested in
Attempt to Terminate Gambling
in Clackamas County Fol
lowing Sunday Closing.
An effort is being made to secure the
closing of the Milwaukle Club, situated
Just across the Multnomah County line in
Clackamas County, an agitation already
having been started, looking toward that
end. Both here and in Oregon City action
has been taken that Is calculated to bring
about the desired result. That the estab
lishment in question Is a notorious
gambling-house, and that it should be im
mediately suppressed by the District At
torney and Sheriff of Clackamas County,
5s the position taken by those behind the
movement.
It is understood that the authorities of
Clackamas County do not regard It as
their duty to take the initiative in the
matter, and it appears that. If the Mil
waukie Club Is closed. It must be done
by evidence secured or complaints lodged
with the District Attorney by Interested
parties.
B. Lee Paget, a Portland business man
and leading Methodist, Is among those
who have interested themselves In the
effort to. close the Milwaukle Club, and
the congregations of the Methodist Epis
copal, Congregational. Baptist and Presby
terian Churches of Oregon City took up
the matter last Sunday by rising votes in
all their meetings, thus placing them on
record as wishing the gambling-house
closed at once.
They have forwarded to District At
torney Hedges expression of the sentiment
of these meetings, calling upon him to
act. and have arranged for the appoint
ment of special committees to call upon
him personally, in case he does not take
immediate action.
Writes Letter to Hedges.
Mr. Paget lives where it is necessary
for him to ride by the Milwaukie Club
twice daily, on the line of the Oregon
Water Power & Railway Company, and
he has therefore had his attention called
for many months to the existence of
the place. After the saloons of Oregon
City and other Clackamas County towns
were ordered closed by order of District
Attorney Hedges, It occurred to Mr. Paget
that it would be well If the lid could be
placed on the gambling-house at Mil
waukle, and he therefore wrote Mr.
Hedges the following letter, dated
June 26:
Mr. Hedges, District Attorney, Oregon City,
Or. Dear Sir: Referring to my letter of last
week, allow me to express my appreciation
of any part that you may have hat In bring
ing about the closing of saloons In Oregon
City and Milwaukle on Sunday last. The gen
eral appreciation which I hear expressed re
garding this measure indicates that this pol
'lcy will without doubt be continued. In
'this connection allow me to Bay that my daily
fasing the notorious gambling institution
.known aa the Milwaukie Club has often sug
gested to me the question of what steps could
be taken to abolish It.
If there is any way in which I could co
operate with this end In view, please let me
bear from you and oblige.
Yours very truly, t
B. LEE PAGET.
Mr. Paget said yesterday that he and
others interested in closing the Milwaukle
Club, feel that it is the place of the
Clackamas County authorities to take the
initiative and suppress the big gambling
house. They also think It very reasonable
that. Inasmuch as Mr. Hedges saw fit to
Invoke the state law relative to the
saloons, he should do likewise in closing
gambling. Furthermore, the big gambling
j resort just across the border In Clackamas
County Is not the only one where open
gambling Is allowed In Mr. Hedges' juris
l diction. It exists in Astoria, Clatsop
'County, and other places over which his
authority extends.
Look to District Attorney.
"Supposing a murder should be com
mitted in Clackamas County or any ter
ritory In the jurisdiction of District At
torney Hedges, would he wait for us or
inny other citizens to secure the evidence
land take the initiative?" asked Mr. Paget.
' "No, he would take action himself, setting
all the machinery at his command to
work to apprehend the criminal and to
mete out just punishment. How, then,
can he argue that it is not his duty to
take similar action In this gambling-house
case? We think it is his duty, and are
looking to him for relief."
Mr. Paget says that the Milwaukie Club
is doing a big business. He asserts that
large numbers' of people patronize the
place, and that streetcar traffic to and
from the house is heavy. Heeding the
protests of many, he says, the officials
of the railway line have recently changed
Uhe name of the station from the Mil
Iwaukie Club to Creole, which, he thinks,
lis a big change for the better.
The Milwaukie Club has run unmolested
I for about two years, the Clackamas
iCounty authorities having permitted it.
The only effort ever made to suppress
jit was made by Mayor Lane, who ordered
'it raided by a squad of Portland police.
'Evidence of gambling was seized and the
proprietors arrested, but the courts de
cided the Portland authorities had no
Jurisdiction and dismissed the cases on
that ground. ,

HIS OWN VICTIM
Charles Bowen Held Up by
Partner.
RUSE TO ROB JOHN LYONS
Charge Ig Made by Police Who Ar
rest Bowen and Will Warren
for Highway Robbery
Committed Saturday.
By the arrest of Charles Bowen and
Will Warren last night. Detective Ser
geant Baty believes he has cleared up one
of the meet daring highway robberies
ever occurring in Portland. The prison
ers are locked in the City Jail on charges
of robbery, and the case against them, as
alleged by the police, Is that they held up
John Lyons at the foot of Mead street
last Saturday night and took from him
20.
The most startling feature of the case,
as charged by the police, is that Charles
Bowen himself played the part of a vic
tim to the robbery, and last Saturday
night when the affair was reported to
the police, he was one of those who called
at headquarters to give a description of
the highwayman. He told the officers'
that he lost J6.80. but they did not at the
time believe his story, and at once sus
pected him.
Baty took up the case Saturday night,
and has worked hard on it Kince, with
the result that last night he and Police
man Hellj-er placed Bowen and Warren
under arrest at First and Columbia
streets, and took them to police head
quarters, where they were Immediately
identified by John Lyons, the real vic
tim. Both were then locked up and the
charges of robbery were booked against
them. Thev- refused to talk, except to
deny their guilt in a few words.
Baty found by investigation that War
ren and Bowen were room-mates, and
he thought it very strange that a man
should hold up and. rob his own partner.
He at once set to work on the theory that

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
mads from native roots and herbs. No other medicine in the country has
received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. Ko other medi
cine has such a record of cures of female ills.
Miss J. F. Walsh, of 328 W.v36th St., New York City, writes: "Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been of inestimable value in
restoring my health. I suffered from female illness which caused
dreadful headaches, dizziness, and dull pains in my back, but your
medicine soon brought about a change in my general condition, built
me up and made me perfectly well."
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cures Female Complaints,
such as Backache, Falling and Displacements, Inflammation and Ulcera
tion, and organic diseases. It is invaluable in preparing for child-birth
and during the Change of Life. It cures Nervous Prostration, Headache,
General Debility, and invigorates the whole system.

Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to

Bowen was "In" on the hold-up. and
simply lured the victim to a dark, se
cluded spot, where the robbery occurred
about 10 o'clock Saturday night. In giv
ing their descriptions of the robber. Lyons
and Bowen disagreed so widely that sus
picion was aroused. Bowen and Warren
are bartenders, but have not been em
ployed regularly of late. The revolver
used in the robbery was taken from War
ren last night, and is held as evidence
against him.
When reporting the robbery to the po
lice last Saturday night. Bowen explained
that ho and Lyons were good friends and
often took walks together. The police
were unable to understand why they
should walk to the foot of Mead street
on a dark night, and at once suspected
that Bowen was In the plot.

TELLS OF PROGRESS.
Walla Walla Valley Becoming a
Garden Spot Through Trolley
TdnA TtnliUnar.
H. C. Willis, secretary of the Third
District Development League, of Pen
dleton, is spending a few days in the
city, and yesterday visited the Commer
cial Club.
"The growth of Portland is almost
beyond comprehension," he said. "You
people who have been nere all the time,
or who have been running in and out
of the city every few weeks, have kept
in touch with the progress that has
been made. I have,- of course, read
what the papers have said, but then
when one gets here and sees the many
skyscrapers in the central part of the
city and realizes that buildings that he
had heretofore considered in a metro
politan class are now being dwarfed
by others that tower above them, he
realizes what it means to see a city.
"I have been out through the resi
dence districts and on the trolley lines
that lead into the suburbs, and the
rapid progress of the entire city is
almost beyond belief; but Portland
must not feel that she is the whole
cocoanut. I recently attended a cele
bration of the completion of the trolley
line through Walla Walla Valley from
Walla Walla through Freewater and
down to Milton, the occasion being the
annual strawberry festival held at Mil
ton. Now, this electric line is only 12
miles in length, but it looks like a

WOMEN SUFFER
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along; from bad to worse, know
ing; well that they ought to have
immediate assistance.
How many women do you know
who are perfectly well and strong?
The cause may be easily traced to
some feminine derangement which
manifests itself in depression of
spirits, reluctance to go anywhere
or do anything, backache, dragging
sensations, flatulency, nervousness,
and sleeplessness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and un
less heeded, a life of suffering or a
serious operation is the inevitable
result. The best remedy for all
ller advice is free.

until you get to Milton.
"They have a passenger car every
hour, beginning at 5 A. M., and while
I was there during the celebration the
cars ran until midnight. Then they
have special express cars for milk, ber
ries, fruit and other freight, and the
line has been a big dividend-payer from
the day the service was inaugurated,
two months ago. All along the valley
the fruit comes in for shipment north
and south. The Walla Walla Valley
has been an active factor this season
in supplying Portland, Spokane, Seat
tle and Tacoma, and houses are being
erected along this line until It almost
looks like a town for miles.
"Acres make homes Instead of quarter-sections.
Every inch of the ground
is producing, and I believe this condi
tion will be repeated between Portland
and Salem, and everywhere else that
Portland extends trolley lines.
"You place Portland In the center of
a trolley system like that at Indian
apolis, or even Spokane, and it will
give to your business interests the
immediate trade of a great many thou
sand people in a very short time, and
they will be producers of the highest
class.
"Since this railroad was built, 60
days ago, they have built a $20,000
cannery and are now canning all kinds
of small fruits, cherries and vegetables.
This means the saving of a third of
the total crop, for up to this time at
least 30 to 35 per cent of the crop

Immediate market for it."
Cloudburst Damages Tracks.
A cloudburst at Durkee, Eastern Ore
gon, which occurred Sunday, caused much
damage to the O. R. & N. track near
that place. Trains were delayed six hours
as a result of the flood- of water that
swept over the tracks, burying them under
earth, rocks and other debris. Two bents
of a small bridge were washed away by
the flood and the structure had to be
repaired before it was safe for trains to
cross. Considerable damage was caused
to farms and nearby property. Fields of
grain were flooded and the crops ruined.
Happily the damage did not spread over a
large extent of country.
