Crockatt Idea
Eyes of all Oregon will be turned
towards Portland on Wednesday of
this week when before examiner of the
iuieruuue commerce commission will
be resumed the hearings on the Ore
gun public service commission's fight
for a railroad across central Ore
gon, to be bu;lt by the Union Pacific.
Peter Crockatt, of the economics de
partment of the University of Oregon
and a coast authority on-transportation,
will continuo to be one of the
main witnesses for the state.
Crockatt says that such a prepon
derance of evidence is being piled up
that the interstate commerce com
mission will be bard put to find any
thing but a verdict for the rublic ser
vice commission.
Even tiie railroads interested are
showiiur no disposition to fight ton
nage claims made for this turrltory,
he says, and cites one instance where
the state of Oregon introduced into
the records as its own testimony a
booster pamphlet put out by the
Southern Pacific, entitled, "Oregon,
the West's Last Uncut Melon-" In
this instance the state was using tho
railroad's own literature to boost the
cause of a trans-state rail line.
Crockatt points out that the state
is making no efforts to decide which
form, if any. of common user rignts
is to be applied to the Natron cut-off
(should the case be won. Thnt is being
left entirely to the interstate commer
ce commission, be points out.
Hearings will be resumed before
Commissioner Gephart, who Is new
in the case. Another official heard
the first part of the case.

Many Citizens Ask
Change In Charter
For'Oregon City

calling for a change in the Oregon
City charter, have been filed by F.
C. Burk, W. 8. Mny and John F. Al
bright, who secured 105 signatures,
while only l.'I5 were necessary.
The petition signers are seeking the
election of a new city commission,
comprising five members, one of
which shall be mayor. The plan is to
have the commissioners hold office
for a term of two years, and to have
their successors elected by a popular
vote. No one will be eligible to hold
the office of commissioner or mayor,
except thnt they be voters, and prop
erty owners of the city.
The desired change desls entirely
with chapter two of the charter of the
city government, which obsignates in
whom tbe power and authority is ves
ted. Under . this chapter, three de
partments, include: No. 1, finsnce,
public property, snd streets; No. 2.
municipal court, law, health, police
and In. No. 8, fire and water. Instead
of this, the petition asks for four de-

Tes, and from other person.."
suid Scaife.
'What did Woodruff tell you?"
Mr. Woodruff told me you bad the
receipts to show the disposition ot
this liquor."
'Did you see them 7"
'No. Judge Daniel T. Wright said
the records of the department show
ed a trunk of liquor waa sent to your
office," said Scaife.
Do you deny that?
"I certainly do," said Gillett.
When Hcaife attempted to question
Gillett further, the speaker said:
"I'm not on trial here. I thought
you were going to answer the ques
tions." "
When Hcaife tried to toll of other
liquor deals, the -committee stopped
him und Gillett took the etund in his
own defonse. - -x
Ho said he had heard of news
paper reports In the spring nf 1010
that the department of justice bad
records of a trunk of liquor being
shipped to his office. 1
"1 never use liquor and there never
lias been n drop of liquor in my of
fices." snld Gillett. "I finally decided
to investigate the reports. I found
that a constituent en route to Flor
ida lost one nf his trnnks containing
golf clubs, golf clothes and several
battles of whiskey. - .
Gillett Make Statement.
"This waa before the Volatead act
becamo effective but it was Illegal to
transport liquor through a dry state.
I investigated tbe missing trunk and
learned that in the atatlon here one
of the bottles broke and the trunk
waa seised by the department of jus
tice. This constituent was going fish
ing In Florlds and he had taken six
bottles of whiskey with him for u.e
on the fishing trip. I finally arrang
ed with the department of justice
that the man's trunk and hla golf
clothea ahould be returned to him. It
was sent to my office and turned
over to my constituent.
Gillett said that when he first
heard newspapermen talking abont
the "whiskey trunk" he sent for Rep
resentative Woodruff.
"I explained the case of Woodruff
and he wsa perfectly satisfied," said
Gillett. "I didn't- want publicity be
cause we nil realize that once these
reports are puhliahed, the public will
always believe them regardless of the
truth or any subsequent explanation
one can make."
Glllott then produced his corre
spondence with the department of
justice regarding hla constituents
trunk and a receipt from the Wells- -Fargo
Express enmpsny for delivery
of the trunk to his office.
