BLIND ililD Gambling at Milwaukio Club Continues Sheriff and District Attorney Hare Eyes That Scov Not and Ears That Hear Not. Up at Milwukl tbs clink of th chips and tht whir of .the whl fo merrily on while Sheriff Beatls and Dis trict Attorney Hd(es, Into whoss hand the enforcement of the liw has been riven by the people of Clackamaa county, ia the Mllwaukle club with unseeing ye and eara into which the of the croupier can never penetrate. The city officer of Mliwaukie, who re dealroua of greater municpal In come, are; not making any noise that would sound like a lid and consequently the man who has the tip can win or lose up there, as the caraa, or tne dealer, may aeciae. Peonle 'here In Portland who remem ber how It happened that the Mliwaukie club was set among the whispering firs Of tne mue viusge up me river in us first place smile at the contentions made by the sheriff and district attor ney or (Jiacicamas county, Tney remem ber how Tom Word sailed into the old Portland club, notorious father of the Mliwaukie -oKib, and shut the place up, putting srmed men on guard to see that the den was kept closed. Remembering these things people here are skeptical at the statement maae or ne two iiacs amas county officials that they have as yet found no evidence to show that the club la running. "How can Mr. Beattle and Mr. Hedges close the Mliwaukie club?" repeated Tom Word this morning when asked what procedure would have to be taken TO PUl a stop lo nnipuaf i in. rv sort. How can they clone the place T Why by Just going up there and telling the proprietors to shut it up and then Heettig that the mandate le obeyed. There would be no trouble In shutting the club If such a thing was attempted. "If the Mliwaukie club Is running now In deriance of the law and the ex- rreim-d wishes of the greater part of he residents In that vicinity. It is do ing so because the officials of Clack amas county are derelict in their duty and neglectful of their oaths of office la the way a prominent attorney put the proposition this morning. "There is absolutely no doubt but that the sheriff and the district attor ney have ample power to close the club under the common nuisance clause of the statutes. The supreme court of the state has so held and there Is ab solutely no reason why any official should hesitate to enforce a law so clearly defined and established as In thin case. "In my opinion, if Sheriff Beetle and rM-tVlet Attorney Hedges arj allowing the Mliwaukie club to operate gam b!lnggamen there they ore violating their atha and are heedlss of their duty as public officials sworn to uphold the law HUMANE SOCIETY .'. I WILL PROSECUTE Bmtab Teamsters Will Be Hauled Up for Acts of Cruelty to Horses. Many cases of overloading teams, especially at the approach of the Steel bridge, were reported to the Oregon Humane society during September and the result will probably be that the members will take steps to regulate thetie affairs by a means of a city ordi nance. During the month 105 cases of cruelty to animals were reported, each of which was Investigated. Fifteen horses were humanely disposed of and It helpless eats and dogs were put out of business in the same manner. Five arrest and convictions were the result of the efforts of the " members during September. Seventy-two horses were taken from their work, their con dition being such as to warrant the ac tion. Most of the cases of cruelty con stats of working horses and mules with galled necks and shoulders. Dally visits to the stockyards, poultry houses and grading camps were also made dur ing the month. YOUTHS HAVE CHUTES OF OWN INVENTION The rising generation at Mount Tabor Is bavins a barrel of fun with a shoot the chutes built by themselves down the south side of the hill.

The "cars"' or "boats" are made of two sticks of-green fir nailed at either end of a three-foot bdnrd and with a sort of a "shoe" fitting Into the space be tween the "rails."
