Marshal and Judge Disagree
The ancient battle between Judge of
, Police Court Halnos and Marshal Al
Bateman has begun again, a few addi
tions being made to the count by the
Judge. With the marshal are Included
the members of the council police com
mittee, who authorised the officer to
. free a drunk recently arrested. Thf
Judge contends that neither the marshal
nor the council committee has author
lty to free, a prisoner, before ha has
. . ' been tried for his alleged offense. The
ouncilmen concerned state that the of
fender was a harmless drunk who was
given a night's lodging because he could
not take care of himself and who waa
turned loose the next morning dn his
promise to leave town. This policy has
: been customary here when the prisoner
: had no money and had committed no
-serious offense. , The ehlef argument for
the plan Is that it save the city need
,: less expense.

lasted only five innings and ended with
the visitors it'x scores behind in the

Oregon City, Sept. 8. Hundreds of
visitors came to Oregon City yesterday
to participate In the varloua events.
The csrpenters' picnic at Gladstone park
attracted a great crowd to that place, a
number of the crowd.. being Portland
carpenters apd their families. The pro
gram of the carpenters waa made up of
aildresses, Impersonations, recitations,
followed by a basket dinner at noon. In
the afternoon the program consisted of
a aeries of races and a ball game be
tween the painters and carpenters, the
painters winning by a score of It to 10.
At Canemah park the Artisans held
away and another good crowd congre
gated -there. An -address by Supreme
Master. Artlaan F. L. McKenna was the
feature of the day. A basket dinner and
races in the afternoon served to fill out
the program. A ball game between Van
couver and Oregon City resulted in a
victory for the home, team by a score
of 8 to 2 at the close of the fourth in
ning, when the game waa called.
The Street Carnival
The street fair will hold over tomor
row and probably over Thursday. This
was decided on by the management yes
terday. The crowds yesterday were in
every way satisfactory, the streets
being crowded with people In the after
noon and the number increasing as the
day advanced. - At, night there were
fully 1,000 people on the streets, the
greater number of whom patronised the
different shows in Arnold's aggregation.
Hundred-of packages of confetti are
scattered over the streets this morning.
Confetti-throwing was - engaged In by
old and young, big and little, and a
regular confletti battle raged for a time
last night
Tree Delivery.
There la a strong probability that
Oregon City will get in the free de
livery liats by next year. The receipts
of the postofllce at this place lastj-ear
lacked about $2,000 of being great
enough to place the city In the free de
livery list and It Is hoped to push the
receipts up high enough this year to
make -up the deficiency., Rural routes
are being established running into the
city and thla will help to swell the re
ceipts of the local postofllce. There Is
talk of abolishing the Ely postofllce, and
If this Is done it will also Increase the
receipts of the Oregon Clty office. Ely
is in the corporate limit's of the city and
in only a mil from the Oregon City
office, so that no great inconvenience
ould be entailed . on the residents of
Ely by the abolishment of their post-
office.
The Crowds War Drenched.'
The flood gates of the sky opened and
poured out a generous flow in Oregon
City and vicinity. While the showers
were intermittent they were drenching
In the extreme. In the' afternoon the
hardest downpour that has fallen in
years came, driving the crowds of sight
seers to shelter in a hurry. The heavy
rain did great damage to grain yet in
the field, thoroughly wetting the bat
crop, much- of which is sua in tne
shock. H. E. Cross of this city haa 60
acres of the cereal yet .standing in the
shock and he la greatly apprehensive for
Its safety,
. i A la Jeffries.
W.. W. Smith and Tom Pankey, two
young men hailing 'from Park Place, a
suburb of this city, engaged 'In a wordy
war yesterday afternoon which later re
sulted in the two mixing- it up "a la
Jeffries." The combatants were separ
ated and taken in charge by the police
after they had bruised one another's
faces considerably. At the police station
they were released on $10 bond to
answer later to the charge of assault
and battery. The trouble came up over
political differences.
Butte Creek Pair.
The Butte Creek fair, which Is an
nually held at Marquam, this county,
will be held thla year the first week in
October. There is a strong sentiment
here In favor of organizing a- stock
company for a county fair. The Glad
stone Chautauqua grounds could prob
ably be secured for the event and it is
believed that such an Institution would
redound to Jhe benefit of both city and
county.

Roseburg, Or., Sept. . On behalf of
the Southern Pacific Company Attorney
w. Di Fenton and Land Agent George H.
Anarewa or Portland appeared befor
the county board of equalisation In
Roseburg laat Saturday, asking for a
reduction In the 1(03 assessment Of the
-mpany a property In Douglas county,
The assessment this year la almost
double that of 1902' and higher than
In any other county In Oregon.- From
$5,192 per mile in 180 J, the assessment
on the 116.15 mllea of roadbed in this
county was raised to $9,800 per mile.
There waa alao an increased "value
placed on the company's other land, he
average value per aore now being nxea
at $1,48 against $1.44 In 190$ and 80
cents in 1901. According to this in
creased assessment the company would
be obliged to pay 37 per cent of all
the taxes of Douglas county' In 1(04,
while this year they pay 81 per cent
of the oounty taxes for 1903.
In his argument before t he board At
torney Fenton laid much stress upon
the fact that County Assessor Staley
computed the valuation on the basis of
the company s earnings on the whole
Paclfio system Instead of the Income
derived from the lines In' Oregon.
No definite action on the company"!
remonstrance was taken by the board,
but the matter is under consideration
and. a decision will probably be reached
the latter part of the week.
