Resident of Mllwaukle the taxpay

of moral conditions are unalterably
opposed to the notorious MUwaukie
club, notwithstanding the fact that a

of alleged residents and taxpayers was
Jiresented to Mllwaukle outnoriues anie
ns; that no detrimental steps be taken
.against the Infamous resort.
Fully 7S per cent of those who signed
that petition, it was stated this morn
ing, are transients who do not own
property or pay taxes in the city. The
petition was only part of the scheme
of some of the town officials, acting
in cooperation with the management of
the club Itself, to bring unworthy in
fluence to bear upon the not-overly
ealous authorities of Clackamas county
in an effort to permit the olub to re
main open.

Preaohed Against Olub.
Rev. F. M. Fisher, pastor of the Evan

mon last night preached against the
club and the apparent attempt of some
of the officials to connive with Its con
tinued breaking of the law.
At the conclusion of his sermon he
asked that those who were unequivo

from their seats. The church seats 100.

against the resort was unanimous.

that the fight had ended so successfully

a standing committee, and will not dls
