Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Military Forces of the State of Oregon.

Attest: W. E., Adjutant-General.

By Order of the Commander-in-Chief,

"W. E., The Adjutant-General."

Under the above order a high and impassable fence surrounding the "roadhouse" was torn down by the national guardsmen, and the house taken possession of and held until the owner yielded obedience to the governor and entered into an agreement to conduct his place in a decent and law abiding manner. After this, on August 27, 1912, the governor removed from office George Cameron, district attorney for Multnomah county, because the said Cameron had, in the judgment of the governor, been derelict in enforcing the laws against crime in said county and appointed to take said office Mr. Walter H. Evans.
