Pae men Gohl would have no dealings, as lie was possessed of a mania for union ism. The union sailors coming to Ab erdeen from the coast ports had noth ing to smuggle. Aside from that there Is practically no place to dispose of smuggled goods here and no good way of shipping them to other cities. Oohl's accounts as agent of the Sail ors' Union of the Pacini- have been re viewed by officers of the local union and found to be correct. Members of the union declare- that their organiza tion knew nothing of Gohl's private life, and while they are loth to believe him the arch-murderer he has been painted, they say that If he is proved guilty In a fair trial they will make no effort to sav him from the gallows. The apparent magnitude of Gohl's operations is making the case difficult for the local authorities to handle. At first It was believed that Gohl had not committed more than three mur ders at the most, and the sensational reports that were brought to the police and county officers were discounted and thought to be only phases of the popu lar hysteria that followed Gohl's ar : rest. Investigation of many of these stories has led the authorities to change their minds, and now they believe Gohl has murdered many. Boasts Hard to Prove. It is to get first-hand evidence upon this point that the two men supposed to have been members of Gohl's gang of In timates are being urgently sought. With the air filled with conflicting stories and reports, however, and with most of these reports dated back two or three years and being based entirely upon things that Gohl boasted of. It Is difficult for the officers to get tangible facts. Chief Dean was closeted with a man yes terday from half past 5 to half past 9 In the- evening, endeavoring to gain some positive Information about the reported killing by Gohl of four men on a sandbar In the bay. In spite of the four hours the Chief de voted to this inquiry, he cannot yet say positively whether this occurred or not. He is Inclined to believe the story, how ever. Aside from information of value, every body working on the case Is getting a vast amount of information that is purely fanciful. Reports that Mrs. Gohl is a cousin of Jessie James, the bandit; that men have been going about the water front warning all sailors not to talk about Gohl and many other wild rumors have kept the police' and others on the Jump, and made the real work more difficult. Gohl's record has been traced back to his native home In Germany. When serving in the army there, he killed a fellow-soldier and escaped punishment only by flight to Australia. There he also got into difficulty and left. He was mixed in criminal troubles at a long shoremen's strike at Eureka. Cal.. before coming here. At this point he obtained Information regarding men now promi nent in the) Sailors' Union of the Pacific, which he declares he will use against William Gohl, in Jail in Aberdeen, Against Whom Authorities Seek Kvidence of Manx Murders. ' . them unless they support him In his coming trial. Gohl gives his age at 35. but the police say he-4s more than 40. He married soon after oomlng here. His wife is seeing him daily and transacting business out side for him. communicating with friends and cheering him. The night of his ar rest he was left alone in a dark cell and soon began crying out In despair, so that the police expected a confession. After a visit from his wife he "braced up," and since has busied himself entirely with plans for his fight for freedom.

The city schools of Medford and Pendleton have done so this year, both employing graduates of the Oregon Agricultural College.

UNFAIRNESS IS ALLEGED Commercial Club Declares in Faror of Change Oregon City In convenient as County Seat. Ma Meeting Planned. MASS MEETING IS CAUED. The Ertaoula. Commercial Club has ceclared Itself against annexa tion of that district to Multnomah ' County and has launched, a move ment to form a new county out of the eastern portion of Clackamas County; and has called & mass meet ing to Initiate the movement. The Club holds that annexation, to Multnomah County would be Injuri ous to the school and property inter ests of that district and expresses the opinion that Multnomah County will 'not take upon Itself the burden' of maintaining a big district of un developed country. It is declared by the club that Eastern Clackama County has been discriminated against, has not been given representation and that West ern Clackama has been unfair In the distribution of taxes. It declares that a county can be formed In Eastern Clackamas that will have a population of 6000 and property valu ation of more than 16.000,000. Kstacada and the surrounding- dis trict have started a movement to form a new county out of Eastern Clackamas and make Kstacada the county seat. This plan took definite form within the past few days and is evidently expedited by the steps1 taken "at Oak Grove to annex the northern portion of Clack amas to Multnomah County. A week ago a committee of citizens went to Oregon City to ascertain facts and figures on which to base the move ment and at a special meeting- of the Estacada Commercial Club the investi gators submitted their report. As a result, annexation to Multnomah County was voted unwise, and the club de clared itself in favor of the formation of a new county. The following re port was adopted: Portland, as a county seat, is more to be desired than Oregon City, as it is more convenient to get to and mall communica tion Is much better, for it takes two days to get mail to Oregon City with the ar rangements in vogue. While this Is true, we flrmly believe in a short time Portland, and what are now its surroutiding suburbs, will be Multnomah County, standing aloof from a county district. It wo united with them now the same exsense would soon be incurred again In ret ran scribing records, etc. Al&o to make Clackamas River the divid ing line between Clackamas and Mult nomah Counties is impracticable, working a detriment to our school district and prop erty interests by placing them in two dif ferent counties, and for the further reason that ths City of Portland, the large factor in suet, division, does not want us. They do want and should have adjacent and suburban territory, but will fight shy of a long stretch of mountains and unimproved country districts. That Oregon City, our present county seat, is inconvenient to get to and has discrim inated against the rural settlements, par ticularly Eastern Clackamas, by not giving us the property representation and by treat ing us as children. to be seen and not heard." as well as in the distribution of the revenues of our taxes, which have not been satisfactory'. These facts, in our opinion, justify us in making preparations to form a new county In the eastern portion of Clackamas County, and to this end we advise the calling of a mass meeting in our city at an early date to consider the question, which is of such vital Interest to our rapidly developing community. Clackamas is a large county, containing 1861 square miles, a division of which, north and south, can be made that will re sult In great benefits to both sections and give the western portion greater population and assessed valuation and leave us. for the new county, a population of not more than 6O00 people and a valuation of over $6,000, OOO of taxable property. There are 12 old counties in the State of Oregon that have now lees population than we would have ts start with. We have all the conditions re quired for a new county. Do we want It? The question is. do jaou want representation in the management of your county affairs! Oo you want a more convenient county seat? If so, attend the mass meeting and work for a new county. You will be advised ia tixn. This action will complicate the an nexation movement and present a prob lem for the annexationists to solve at their meeting today in the Commercial Club rooms. The Question of nnva- .tion of Northern Clackamas, and the oi a new county will have to be submitted to the entire state, if the plan progresses. LOVETT TO SPEND $500,000 Southern Pacific's 2 0-Mile Track to Klamath to Cost Heavily. MERRILL. Or.. Feb. 6. (Special.) It is practically certain that the line of the Southern Pacific from Merrill will go to Klamath Falls as its junc tion point with the main line north Rlgrht-of-way Agent Worden said last night the line will cost $500,000 to build the 20 miles, as the grade will have to be carried over the flume of the Government irrigation ditch and a bridge across Lost River. The spur to Merrill will later become a part ofthe transcontinental short cut to the Northwest, so in the building of the proposed 20 miles between here and Klamath Falls the construction work will be done with "roadbed and rails designed to carrjt overland traf nc later.

Senator Flint's definite announce ment that he will not be a candidate for re-election, while the occasion for the In cerest regret among his personal follow ing and very generally among the busi- Sesa men of Southern California, was nderstood to be Inevitable by those closest to him. Beginning with the announcement in the local press October 1. that Flint had PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD HI, Weak and Emaciated, He stored to Health by Vinol "Our little daughter, six years of age, after a severe attack of the measles, which developed into pneumonia, was left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat ed.

N-12 practically decided to retire from public life, the knowledge has spread among the personal friends of the Senator that there was little hope of inducing him to change his mind. Seven or Eight Likely to Run. In consequence of this situation and while every effort was being made to pre vail upon Flint to become a candidate again, much dlsculssion of men available for the office and much casting about for Senatorial timber has brought the names of seven or eight men, one or more of whom almost certainly will become can didates. From the moment of the announcement of the certainty of the retirement of Senator Flint many Republican leaders expressed their conviction that ex-Governor Henry T. Gage was his logical suc cessor in the United States Senate. When Governor Gage was asked whether he would enter the race if the leaders of the Republican party urged him to do so, he replied: You will find the furnace you ought to buy at the price you ought to pay in our stock They are supplied with all the extras you usually find and then some.
