There was a dramatic scene today at the store of Frank Cummins, the bonds man of Dr. Elmer Ranck, in the case of alleged enticing away of Carrie Chamberlln, when, as E. C.

ThousTh the girl returned here last night, she did not go to her home, but passed the night with a neighbor. Early this morning Dr. Ranck went to that house and asked for the girl, He was told she was not there, but sn heard him and talked to him from i window. He urged her to meet him and his wife at Cummins' store, which Is near the railway station, in time to take the morning train for Portland.

GLARR CONVENES TODAY WHOLE COTJXTY WILL DECIDE FOR OR AGAINST BRIDGE. Question of Bonding Community to Extent of $300,000 Will Bo Fixed: Henry Crass Clears TJp' Error. VANCOUVER. Wash..- April 25. (SueclaL) Weather permitting tomor row. it Is expected that one of the largest meetings in the history of the county will bo held when taxpayers and voters from all parts of the county will assemble at the Courthouse to dis cuss the advisability of bonding Clark County for 3500.000 with which to pay Washington's share or the Dunaing or the Droposed Pacific Highway bridge across the Columbia River at tnis point. The meetinsr has been well adver tised, the question is a vital one to thousands, and it Is expected that the attendance will be unusually large. Henrv Crass, president of the Commer. clal Club, will preside. Mr Crass tells of an erroneous Idea which prevails among the farmers. Mr. Crass was near f eima ana wnen iat Ing about the bridge with a farmer, the farmer said be was opposed to it. Why?" asked Mr. Crass. Well, it would make my taxes too much. Already 1 Day about 330 a year. Mr. Crass then assured the man tnat f he now pays 330 taxes a year, the bonding of the county ror uu.uuw would not Increase this amount more than about 31. -Weil, if that is true. I would be in favor of the bridfte. the farmer said I thought I would have to pay double mv present taxes. The majority or people seem to want toll bridge, and not a tree bridge, and the impression has been formed hat If a toll bridge Is bunt, tne slate will soon assume the burden of the cost and pay off the bonds. Every phase of the question win ne iscussed at the meeting, which Is called for 1 o'clock tomorrow. NEW CHARTER IS PROPOSED Xewberg Council .Names Commis sion to Draft Measure. NEWBERG, Or April 25.
