WCRLEIN DEFIES THE COMMISSION Refuses to Appoint a Clerk . Properly Certified from the Civil Service List. ONLY MAN WHO STOOD TEST FAILS TO GET PLACE City Charter Provides Very Se vere Penalty for Persons Who Disobey Rules. City Treasurer Werleln is showing a defiant attitude toward the city civil service commission over the appointment of a olerk for hla office. The difficulty bids fair to develop Into serious trou ble, snd may result In the commission attempting to force a clerk upon Mr. Werleln. On Nov. II the civil service commis sion certintd the name of Edwin W. Jones to Mr. Werleln as the only parson on the eligible list. Two days later a communication waa aent him by the commission asking when he Intended to make the appointment of the clerk. This Incensed Mr. Werleln. as he thought the commission was altogether too eager In the matter. J. 8. P. Copeland, who has a tempo rary appointment as clerk for 10 days, failed to pasa the examination. He la still retained In the office, and Mr. Wer leln states hs will keep him until Deo. T, when his temporary appointment expires. When ssked If he Intends making the appointment of Edwin W. Jones, he re plied that he did not think he would. "Information has coma to ma," he atated, "that the civil service commis sion haa singled out this department, and that It haa boasted that It Is going tp make me 'corns to time' In regard to appointments of clerks. I am now of , the opinion that I will run my office to suit myself. When asked what steps ths commls slon Intends taking In the matter, P. I.. Willis, a member, stated that he did not know, but he thought the trouble would be amicably adjusted. Mayor Williams Is also of the opinion that the -breach will not be serious. He la trying to settle the row. Three months ago Mr. Werleln had serious trouble with the commission. A lint of ellglbles was certified to him, but W. N. Carter was ths only one who consented to take the position. Mr Wer leln refused to accept him, and although ths commission attempted to compel him to do so. he Anally won ha point Mrs. Werleln was taken Into the office to as sist In ths work until Mr. Copeland re ceived the temporary appointment. At the recent. examination for clerks only one out of M applicants stood the test. It la hinted that In case Mr. Werl'ln continues to maintain his defiant atti tude, the commission will attempt to force him to accept Mr. Jones. Accord ing to section 120 of the city charter, U the treasurer attempts to override the civil service rules he te held liable te arrest on a Charge of misdemeanor. In case he is found guilty in any of ths circuit courts of the state, the misde meanor is punishable by a fine of. not leas than 126 nor more than 1600, or by Im prisonment in ths eounty Jail for not longer than one year. f LOTTERY CASES ARE" ' NOT PROSECUTED It looks as If the oases in which ar rests were made by the sheriff's deputies for alleged violations of the laws prohibiting lotteries sre to be Ignored by District Attorney Manning's office. ' Several raids were made on places which have 'the reputation of being lot tery "Joints," and a number of arrests followed. Lee Foo and a number of other defendants were to have been tried last Tuesday, but the prisoners were not taken Into court, no representative of the district attorney appeared, and nobody was present for ths defense. "I don't know anything about It." said Alvln Reed, clerk of the court. "The trial of Lee Foo and several other Chinese was to have taken place Tues day, but nobody appeared for either side. We shall do nothing unless either the prosecution or defense makes some move In the matter." CANNOT FIND MAN CHARGED WITH CRIME After searching for James A. Murphy, a painter, for several days the police have discovered that he left the city Monday or Tuesday evening. He Is wanted on a charge of forgery preferred by F. J. Browning, proprietor of the Browning baths, st 141 First street. It Is alleged In the complaint, filed In the police court, that Murphy secured the lndoraement of Browning to a check for 117. SO, supposedly drawn on the Merchants' National bank by W. L. Bachelor. Before Murphy left town he Informed a number of hla friends that he Intended making a trip to San Francisco. The police believe, however, that he made this statement In order to mislead them, and that hs Is now In Seattle. They have communicated concerning Murphy with the Seattle and San Francisco police. FEDERAL COURTS ALONE HAVE JURISDICTION Owing to a question of court Jurisdic tion It Is likely that J. A Buckley will not be prosecuted for slleged aasault on L. L. Leadbstter. Young Leadbetter and Buckley had been at the La Camas mills and were on their way to thla city on a steamer when the trouble occurred. As a result of the trouble Buckley waa charged with as sault and battery Becauae the affray occurred on board ship, Ernest Brand, representing Dis trict Attorney Manning, says ths federal courts alone have Jurisdiction. Accord ingly, on his motion, the case was In definitely continued. lOtJTEra DOLLAM OAJT'T UWATI Lewis & Clark Co n Brooch for a Xmas Present Prk $4.M .ltd 15.00. ftltfc Lewis Clark waMMIar- Mounted on this beautiful gold wreath, the coin not the least marred or mutil ated, sold over the counter or mailed to any address at 14.60 for slse No. 1. snd 16 for No. 2.

PUSHING ROAD FROM THE DALIES TO DUFER Crest Southsrn Railroad Com pany WiH Havs ths Line In .Operation Next Summer. - Aa soon as construction trains Can be put on ths line the Oreat Southern Railroad company will push construc tion of the line on south from Dufer. The first 10 miles, from Ths Dalles to Dufer, la now graded and ready for the rails. Iron hss been purchased, and will be laid as rapidly as possible. "We will have the road In operation aa far south as Dufer next summer." says Julius Meier, who is" secretsry of ths corporation and purchasing agent of the company. "We do not expect to stop at Dufer. The road la being sur veyed southward, and ws will probably go to Bend. That la a fine country, of great reaourcea, and fully capable of supporting two railroads, even ahould any other road be extended to that point." It has always been auppoaad that the Columbia Southern waa to be extended from Shanlko to Bend, but since ths Deschutes people have established an automobile road between thoaa two points and Invested a large amount of money In the building of the road, and Its equipment, the Idea prevails that there Is no likelihood of an extension of the Columbia Southern. So f ar ss pres ent prospects Indicate, the new Itao from Dufer would have) sole posses sion of the buslnsss of ths Bsnd coun try, excepting that which will go to the automobile road and the Columbia Southern via Shanlko.
