JUDGE GALKlis
SSUES
I. J. Phlpps Sues for Suit Against
City to Stop Them From Complet
ing Work Means That, East Side
Sewer District Is Out' Commission.
A restraining order was tissued by
Judge F. M. Calkins in t(ib circuit
court Thursday morning enjoining
the city from proceeding! with tho
construction of a trunk sower across
Hear creek on property owned by I.
J. Phipps. The restraining order Is
temporary in its nnturo nhd is the
molt n n emit filnil llV iff. PhitWS
ngninst tho city asking that tho city
bo permanently restrained from con
structing the trunk sewer across
Bear creek nt that point.
If Mr. Phipps should succeed in
winniiiL' tho suit and have the city
permanently enjoined it would mean
a great loss to the city, as the trunk
ecwer drains the entire east side,
where laterals hnvo been laid. The
draining of the cast side has long
b?en an engineering problem which
w.is finnllv solved by carrying tho
trunk sqwer across Bear creek on
niliutr. In no other way and nt no
other jMiint will tho city be nblc to
connect with tho present nntiseptic
tank where the sewcrago ottne city
is deposited.
It is stated that if tho city had
lived up to tho terms cf a contract
which thoy bnd with Mr. Phipps that
tho prevent suit would not have been
filed. They had u contract with Mr.
Phipps whereby they were to build

Root's Stand Is Not Known, But Thought to Be Pro-Ballinger.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1. With Sen
ator Ellhu Root en route from South
ampton to New York, politicians who
are concocting a scheme to oust Sec
retary of the Interior Ballinger will
have to move with considerable speed.
That Is tho consensus of opinion of
New York politicians who have been
watching tto moves made by Sena
tor Crane of Massachusetts and his
followers to remove Ballinger from
the cabinet. The latest plan depends
on tho ability of ttaoso who want to
discipline Ballinger for "party rea
sons" in securing a crltlc'sm of his
official conduct from the congression

this It Is necessary to keep .Senator
Root from voting and to get one of

TWO MEN LOST
IN CRATER PARK
Both May Have Perished Word Is
Brought to This City by J. D.
Heard Searching Parties Oat
When He Left Park for Medford.
Two men niny have lost their lives
in tho Crater Lake national park
during tho past week, according to a
report brought down by J. D. Heard,
who "returned from n trip in Klam
ath county last evening. Both of the
men were lost in the mountains near
tho lake, and searching parties had
been unable to find them wheii he
left the lake. One man had been lost
CO hours nnd tho other for 4S hours
when he left. Owing to tho fact that
telephone wires are down, word can
not bo had irom tho lake as to their
safety. Ono of tho men was a member of
the surveying party which is engng
ed in inying out roads and trails in
tho park. This man, without a coat,
matches or food, had been missing
for GO hours when Mr. Heard left
tho lake, and searchers were out in
tho hills making a systematic hunt
for him. Without food, ho probably
perished, unless ho stumbled down
the mountains to somo settlement.
Tho second man was a lad of 122
years. Ho went out with a hunting

Forcibly That Statement Is Absolutely False.
NEW YORK, Sopt. 1. Answering
an attack in tho Now York Evening
Post, which accused him of taking
inonoy from corporations to buy
votes, Colonel Theodoro Roosovolt,
in an article in tho Outlook today,
declares tho Post's statements abso
lutely false and says that tho editor
who prepared them practiced ovory
known form of mendacity.
"In tho struggle for lionost pol

liar than for tho thiW. In a move

home, politicians say, it will bo nec
