Determination, -after months of
controversy, as to Just what the
word "contract" In section 14 of
the city charter means, may be
reached as a resnlt of Mayor
Liveslev to slan warrants drawn
in. favor of Douehton and Sher-
wln, a term in which I. M. Dongh
ton, a member of the council, ia
interested.
These warrants are for hard
ware purchased by the city. The
mayor's refusal to- honor them
Is based on this sentence in the
charter:
N'n member of the cnnncll shall
during the period for which he ia
elected, be interested in any con
tract the expenses of which are to
be paid out of the city treasury-"
Several aldermen have Indicat
ed that they consider this an op
portunity to determine whether
'-finlrrt" means inT ordinarv
sale of merchandise on which
bids ara not asked Or submitted
Mr. Denrhton sava the sales were
made la good faith and under the
belief that tha charter was not
being violated.
TWO MEN HELD FDR
TAB Oil ME
Joe Pelser and Day Schaefer
were bound over to the grand
jury by Judge Brazier Small in
uatice court late Thursday fol
lowing their hearing on a charge
of larceny of 10 head of cattle.
The case is peculiar in that the
cattle which the two men are ac
cused of stealing actually belong
to them.
A technicality however, holds
forth in this Instance and there Is
good reason for the case to go to
the grand Jury, declared the
judge Thursday. It was brought
out in the hearing that M. Howe
and Chester Howe, executors of
the Howe estate, found 10 bead
of cattle on the place last Sep
tember 7. and thinking them to
be strays, placed them in the
keeping of Frank Cooke.
While in Cook's possession the
cattle, were seized hv their right
ful owners. Pelser and Schaefer.
it was brought out yesterday. But
Howe contended that they should
not have been taken inasmuch as
they were-: to be held under the
estray law.
Numerous "ether legal noints
are involved in .the case but these
will be brought to the attention
of the Marion county grand jury
when it convenes here the first
Monday in January. Meanwhile
both Peiser and Schaefer are at
liberty under 91000 bail.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19 (Spe
cial) Santa Claus a 1929 model
aeronautical Santa Claus took
off here today.
While "talkie cameras ground
nnt tha afvhta and anirnda of the
picturesque event, three jolly be-
whiskered fellows, packs ot guts
iinnn their hecks, climbed into air
planes here today and roared away
on the important business ot tak
ing Christmas presents to cnuaren
of the entire Pacific coast. There
were plenty of "sound" effects for
the noise-hungry cameramen oi
the audible news weeklies, includ
inr the voices of children, the
Jingle of bells the roar of the big
motors.
There's only one real Santa
r.iause. of course, but it was ex
plained to the wide-eyed young
sters who gathered at the western
Air Express port today that these
three aeronautical "Saint Nicks"
were really assistants to Santa, ar
ranged for by the Richfield Oil
Company, of California. And,
thanks to this arrangement, every
child in California, Oregon or
Washington will be able to get a
Christmas present on December 23
and 24 merely by visiting any
service station whidh offers Rich
field nroducts.

It is interesting to speculate on

learns to speak a language most
