HARVEY BROWN, SHERIFF OF
BAKER COUNTY, SURPRISES
HIS CONSTITUENTS.
Says He Will Do His Outy-merena"''
Are Very Indignant at
His Actions.
A correspondent Of the Oregon'a

A correspondent Of the Oregonian
writes from Baker City. he says:
A sheriff in these United States who
calmly announces that he proposes to
enforce all the laws without distinction
and makes the announcement after and
not before his election, is rarity. And
to this extent Harvey K. Brown, now
sheriff for the second time Of Baker
county. is to be distinguished from mis-
fellow-men-and sher ifs.
Two weeks ago or Whereabouts, Mr..
Brown spread a tiny mite of fear and
an immense amount of amusement
among the productive fraternity
who were making a living of sort in
Baker City, dealing faro bank, roulette,
blackjack and other gambling games,
bv proclaiming that he was going to
close gambling and to keep it closed.
Then the astonishing thing hap
pened. Mr.. Brown closed SdlIlpllllS,
and so far has kept it closed.
Next he served notice upon the COM
munity that the saloons, cigar stores
and all the observation-disclosures, dry
goods and groceries and butcher shops.
which for years had kept open on the
Sabbath in Baker City must respect
the Sunday closing law.
The law is on the statute books
said Sheriff Brown to a committee Of
indignant and amazed business men.
That is all there is to it,
But" said the protestant commit
tee, for 20 years.
1t doesn't NATTER said Sheriff
Brown. 1t is the law
It's a ridiculous law said the COM
mittee 1T was never meant to be
enforced"
1t should be repealed then" said
Sheriff Brown.
NO other sheriff. began the COM
mittee.
The sheriffs who have bloomed IN
the past" paraphrased Mr.. Brown,
have nothing to do with me-
so the committee departed, but every
merchant and cigar-store man and
most of the saloonkeepers who had for
gotten there was Sunday-closing law
in Oregon decided not 20 close. And on
Sunday, August p, they all kept open.
And on Monday, August %, Sheriff
Brown arrested them all placing the
future history of the case in the hands
of the courts.

The ordinance raising the salary of
the city treasurer will be brought up
for final action at the next meeting Of
the council. Thebill makes only one
change In the ordinance now in effect
Increases the salary from $55 to SIS.
1t requires the treasurer to give a
bond of $4,000, to reduce the general
fund to $500 whenever there is $1,000
on hand, and to call In special fund
warrants whenever there is 500 in
any special fund. The measure Is
fathered by Councilman Robinson.
Those who support it say the business
of the treasurer's office has been
doubled in the past year and that the
present salary is inadequate. The
city makes no provision for office rent
for the treasurer, and this is also re-
garded as a consideration by the
councilmen favorable to the ordl-
nance.

The Multnomah delegation did not
play fair with the outside delegates at
the state democratic convention, with
the result that there is much dissatis-
faction. Multnomah promised TO do a
great many things, but In every in
stance failed TO live up to its promise,
DR.. H. l.. Henderson, OF Astoria, was
a candidate for delegate to the nation
al convention, Members Of the Clat-
sop delegation worked for him at the
conve ation, and from eastern Oregon
counties, especially Crook and Sher-
man, he received some energetic sup
port. Multnomah solemnly promised
to support him 10 a man, but when
the roll of counties was called 1t was
found but two men had voted for him.
Had none voted 1t would have been
regarded by the Clatsop delegates as
matter of politics. but with only
two votes the Multnomah delegations
action was considered a direct in
suit. Clatsop gave her seven votes to
the Multnomah nominees. The Multi
nomah delegates spent most of their
time fighting. and but for the Port
land row the convention would have
been harmonious. DR.. Henderson re-
ceived rs votes in the convention and
was elected an alternate to the nation
al convention. He win be In st. Louis
in July when the convention meets.
