Ho wa born In Oregon City, where his father and mother still live. Outside of i i years spent in college In St. Paul, Minn., he always ha lived on the Const. Mr. Stoever Is a Pierce County woman, her name before mar rlnge being Mis Uertha Itresemann. They live at 909 South 6th street and have two children. Mr. Stoever never has been In politic. His friends know him a a sympathetic man of broad view and a good business man. "I have no particular fads to pro mote," he says, "but I insist upon the strictest nronomy and common sense management of public affairs, with the aim of meeting the demands of the majority, equal treatment to all, cleanly men in public office; a reduc tion in city expenses, If possible. I shall not take my church affair Into public affairs I think I am well enough known not to have to Bay that." HEAVY HAULING LAW IS Circuit Judge Webster Holmes of Polk County ha declared one of the road laws enacted at the last session of the legislature unconstitutional and void. All rountle west of the Cas cades, except Multnomah, are effected. This Is the law prohibiting the drag ging of logs or heavy materials on the surfni e of public highways or to exca vate or damage the road bed or to use a traction engine or engines for the purpose of teaming, or drawing loa led u aeons or vehicle on any coun ty rond, without first obtaining a per ml-, f ri m the county court The law, which was known as House Mil No. I0.", als v regulated the tires of ve hicles. It contained a clause provid ng that a notice be served upon an of fender In fore he could be brought wlth- n th law, and Judge Holmes held that thin part of the law was dlscrtmnatorj, in nn i ii a person, nrm or corpora M'in wnt an offt nder and wa not jcrvtii wVh notice, as provided in the law. ii .i penalty could be exacted. The law am. nded Section 6339, 6344, 6347, tr.is nnl 6349 of Lord's Oregon laws and s Chapter 277 of the 1913 Session laus.

The two were mnrrlc l October 20, 1908, at Vancou ver. Wish Harvey E. Cross, ex-mayor of Glad stone, former state senator, and dean of the corps of lawyer of Oregon City, threw a bomb with a slo fese attached Into the local political camp Friday when he made the statement that he I considering making II s an nouncement as a candidate for county Judge on (he lud.-.n-nd. m ticket. He qualified the statement with ina pro viso that he would be a candidate only In the event thai thn platform of the successful candldjie in tho Republi can prlmurles Mi .i.l be oik upon which tie can stand on and harirotiiio with. Mr. Cross I a pioneer good road man. He, wltb otheis, is retfitons'iilo In a very great dtgree lor the build ing of the main road from Oregon Clly up Into the lxgan country. For a '.um ber of year he has urged, pleaded and Inslsd'd upon (he appointment by (he court of a roadinaster, with all the re spons hlllty and authority that the l iw of 1914 confers upon such an official, but the county courts, witi) u full real ization that the appointment of a roud m aster to exercise general and direct supervision over more than r.O road supervisor would be manifestly un popular, has not made such an ap pointment, but ban left the duties re quired of a roadinaster to the county surveyor, a Is required by law, when a county ha no officer with the title of roadinaster. The possibility of the entrace of Mr. Cross Into the fight adds no little in terest to the situation. Two Uepuiiil cuns have already eomo out for the nomination at (he primary May 15 nexl. Judge H. S. Anderson, who Is seeking, reelection, and County Clerk W. L. Mulvey, who Is young and vig orous and full of fight for belter coun ty administrative condition. It is safe to assume that neither of these gtntlemen will make no promise to appoint a roadmmtter In the event of their election and if Mr. Cross pro pose to make this the prlmury iss e of the campaign he will have to make the fight undt r his own banner. In the event of (he nomination of either Mr. Mulvey or Judge Anderson, and the subsequent ellmlual'on ot ihe other. It will thm be up to Mr. Cross to declare himself, and If he should conclude to enter the field as an inde pendent. It la expected the Democrat will wake up to a point where they will see a ripe opportunity to pioflt by a divided majority. CUTS POSTMASTER BE Mrs. C. A. Nash, who has Wen as sistant postmaster at Oregon City for more than 15 years, la being men tioned In connection with appointment of a successor to Postmaster Tom P. Randall, whose third term expires In March, 1915 Mr. Randall is a Repub lican and does not expect reappoint ment, and has been extremely fortun ate In obtaining three terms from Re publican administrations.

Eckson has aaked the county court for i-50 damages which he claims Is due him for the death ot a horse and damage to harness and bug gy which he says waa caused by the condition of the Dear Creek bridge. According to Eckson, George Ketz mlller waa driving a team of homes belonging to him across the bridge early one morning In January, and that owing to tbe fact that there was a hole In the deck of the structure one horse stumbled and fell. The other animal fell on the Injured home, re sulting In serious Injury to the horses, tbe harness and the buggy. The case was not settled In the session of tbe court Thursday but will hang over to the next session. Eckson will prob ably take the case into the circuit court unless the county commissioners make a settlement. STORM PLAYS HAVOC Hy the middle of next week prices for California fruits and vegetables will be almost out of sight lu Oregon City. The flood in the southern part of that state bas played such havoc that a shortage and, what dealers be lieve will be a big one, looms as a cer tainty. The worst f ature of the sit uation Is that the ra ti is still falling and nine Inches have been recorded in the last 24 hours. Not alone are rail roads washed on', but orange groves have b en flowed, the fruit beaten from the branches and many vege tables crops practically ruined. It has been pointed out taut the rain does not soak into (he ground in Cali forn a as it does here, b it run off. It wa b leieved at first that this would have many of tbe crops, as three or four days of sunshine would dry the ground, fruit and vegetables. A delay of only a few days in shipment was all that was expected, but la est re ports say that another inch of rain has fallen during the last 21 hours and that there I no prospect of a cesa ' en. This will snrll cimple e ruin for many of the crop. Federal Judge Smith Mcpherson of Red Ouk, Iowa, sitting In the United State district court in Dc Moines, Iowa, come to the rescue of the "bl le sky law," enacted by the last leg sta ture In the Hawkeye stute, a:id huhU that the statute la not In conflict, (.idl er with the Iowa constitution or tue federal constitution.

A CIVIL WAR VETERAN, DIED ALONE AT HIS HOME WAS OLD RESIDENT OF DAN Had Been III for Entire Winter, But Pneumonia is Thought to Have Caused the Death of Old Man Green McMitrray, age 76, veteran of the civil war, and for many years a resident of the Damascus country, was found dead by the side of his bed Sat urday evening where he had fallen In an apparent effort to cross the floor. It was known thai he had been 111 for the greater pnrt of the winter and that within the last few days he had contracted a severe case of pneu monia. It Is thought that this disease combined with his age is responsible for hi death. He waa found by a neighbor named Thebo. who notified Coroner W. J. Wilson In Oregon City. The latter went to Damascus and re turned with the body shortly after midnight Sunday morning. A large number of notes, payable to the dead man .were found In the house and from all appearances he was well to do. From what could be learned lnte Saturday night, he is survived by two nephews who live near Logan. OF EGGS TO GO DOWN. PROSPECT While the egg market remains very firm and prices are being well main tained, the outlook is for lower prices within a short time. There is no doubt that the local trade will be greatly in fluenced by the San Francisco mar ket within the next few days. A car load of California stock Is said to be due at Portland the first of the week. The northern markets are saving the trade In Oregon, from a loss in price at the moment, and demand from the outside being quite good. How ever, with California quoting extra candled stock at 2 Vic a dozen less than the Portland rrice for case count, the outlook therefore. Is not so poor for the future. There are indication that some of the country shippers are holding back their supplies for a better market. This is considered extremely risky by the trade and will probably force lower price later. STILL SLUGGISH While potatoes are sill sluggish, an opportunity is being offered where by some farmers may find a market for th. ir product. The price offered is nothing to Jump at, but it is general ly believed It Is su much better than will obtain la er on that it will be ac cepted. just now the market are flooded and have been. There is nothing to Indicate any rhanse n the ltuation and unless advantage is taken of these opportunities the flooded condition will continue. DEAD AT BED! OREGON COMMISSION CO.

The po lice today were investigating the re markable coincidence in the death yes-1 terday of the wife of George 'S.

Is out of tbe running now as a pugil istic possibility was the consensus of op'nlon among fight fan today, fol lowing his defeat here last nlcht by Red Watson of Los Angeles. Watson get credit for a knockout. Referee Toby Irwin stopping the battle after Anderson had been sent to the mat with a right book to the Jaw. Anderson was wobbly and unable to continue, and there waa not a dissenting rolce when Irwin raised Watson' arm In token of victory Anderson's defeat came a a great surprise. He entered the ring a 10 to 4 favorite, and in the first round gave Watson a boxing lesson. This caused the odds to lengthen to 10 to 3, but before the second round wa com pleted Watson waa conceded a chance. Red shook Anderson up several times in the fourth round, and it was appar ent that the Medford lad bad shot bla bolt. ' LAW WOULD EFFECT No longer can the Clackamas Coun ty farmer kill his hegs or cattle and ship them to Portland, If the ordi nance now being considered by the commissioner in that citv Is passed. The proposed law provide that all hogs and cattle must be taken to Port land al ve and must be inspected be fore being killed. They must also be Inspected again after being slaughter ed, making a double inspection.
