14 THE MORNING OKliliONIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1009. CITY MAY DO ITS OWN STREET WORK Mayor and Executive Board to Stop Giving Contracts for Repairing Pavements. LEAVE PROBLEM FOR SIMON New Executive Will Decide Whethei to Continue Old Practice or to Krect Municipal Plant, as Permitted by Charter. Mayor Lane and the members of the Executive Board have decided to discon tinue the practice of awarding mainten ance contracts for hard-surface pave ments, and at the next meeting there will be a recommendation from the street, committee to carry the maintenance only on streets in the business districts, where 1t is necessary to have many repairs dur ing the first few years of the life of an Improvement. A large number of bids for maintenance- are to be rejected by the Hoard, which will meet next Friday fternoon. If the city desires to repair any pavements, it has full authority, un der the charter, to proceed to establish a "plant of its own and to perform the labor. Hecause of the recommendation of the utreet committee to the Executive Board In tills respect. It is oertain that when Senator Simon takes office as Mayor he will face a situation that will call for the adoption of one policy or another. It will become necessary to award main tonance contracts to contractors, as has been done in the past, or to proceed with the construction of a plant for that pur pose, to be operated by the city. If the Simon regime decides to carry on the repair work by the maintenance system, It will have to advertise for bids for a larse number of streets, which will be left without any protection by such a plan after next Friday. Mayor I.ane and the members of the street committee agree that the down town streets, where there Is constant and heavy traffic, should have a main tenance contract, running for a number of years. Ten years Is the life of the average pavement, so far as a guarantee by the city is concerned. For that length of time. It has been the custom of the city, until now, to let a contract for maintenance at 24 cents a square yard. This sum the contractors have been collecting, whether or not there were any repairs to be made In the pavement during the life of the contract. Mayor Lnne and other officials believe that the time has come when Portland has so many miles of hard-surfaced streets that the municipality ought to build a repair plant of Its own and do ail or its maintenance work on the vari ous pavements. Because of this belief ne caused the street committee of the Mecmve Hoard several months ago to lay aside all of the maintenance bids on streets and keep them until the close of tne tenure of office. Thursday afternoon was the last regular session of the street committee, as on July 1 Mr. Simon and me new Hoard will take charire. In or. der to have matters cleared up in this respect, the Mayor ordered that all main tenance bids be rejected, with the ex ception or such streets as are In dis tricts wnere there Is heavy traffic, and wnere repairs are constantly needed. It is argued that, in such places, the award of a maintenance contract is a good iinng tor me city, it being a paving in vestment. On streets where the travel iixm una me pavements are conse quently not worn so fast, the Mayor be lieves mat it would be better for the city in an its own repair work, as he de clares mat it can be done for much less money. WOULD MARRY IN OREGON "Washington Bridegrooms Balk tiivlnjr Physician's Certificate. Can "Washington couples secure mar riage licenses In Oregon? County Clerk Fields says he Is receiving an cvt-mKo or a letter a day from pros recuve Driaegroom In the State of Washington who find themselves "up n gainst it" on account of the new law there compelling them to tender to County Clerks a physician's certificate of physical soundness before the license is Issued. One lovelorn Seattle swain even went so far as to ask Mr. Fields If It is necessary In Oregon for a divorced man to snow the County Clerk a copy uir iifi-ree in oraer to obtain 1 license, and whether the Deputy Coun ty Clerks may act as witnesses. The Oregon marriage license law pro vides that the prospective bride must le a resident of the county In which tne mariage license Is Issued. But un like the election law, which requires electors to live In live In the county six months before registration, the mar riage license law does not say how long a residence the bride-to-be must have. Local hotel clerks have been Known to swear for a young coutile that the lady was a resident of the county, of legal age. and that there was no legal impediment to the mar riage. Residence of one day is gener ally considered ample. No physician's certificate of health is required under the present laws. 1 PASTOR TO BE INSTALLED J5ev.-T. It.

"I did not withhold my name from the coiirt because, I wished to cover other crimes, but because I do not -wish my relatives in the East to know that I am in trouble." This was the way John Stanton explained to Presiding Circuit Judge Bronaugh yesterday his reason for defending himself under an alias. He pleaded not guilty yesterday to having stolen Jewelry worth $'J50 from Benjamin Gadsby. An interpreter was necessary to ex plain to K. Nishl the nature of the crime with which he was charged. He said if he were given a short term in the peni tentiary he would not ask for an ' attor ney, but that if a long term were given him he wanted an attorney to defend him. Judge Bronaugh gave him the minimum, one year, after he had pleaded guilty to having stolen a certificate of deposit worth $160 from B. Morlshige. C. C. Vaughn said, through his attor ney, John H. Stevenson, that he would plead not ' guilty to assault on Robert Dunkel, June 9. Oscar Cross pleaded guilty to a statu tory offense. Cora Irene Johnson was ready to plead to the same offense, but at the request of her attorney the case was continued until 2 P. M. Monday. C. M. Robinson is to stand trial on a charge of having falsely represented to the Union Guarantee Association that he owned property, thereby obtaining a bond. Marlon Shockley and Georgie L. La Petit said they did not conduct a dis reputable house June 8. Sam Boue was arraigned for shooting at Jim Sing Feb ruary 17. PROTEST IS SUCCESSFUL COUNCIL COMMITTEE RULES AGAINST OPENING OAK. Big Property-owners Block Kxten- sion Stark Street Will Be Wid ened at Thirteenth. After a strong delegation, represent ing large interests, laid before the street committee of the City Council yesterday afternoon a protest against the proposed opening of Oak street from "West Park to Burnside streets. a recommendation to rescind proceed ings was carried. Those opposed to the opening of Stark street, from Thir teenth to Burnside street, however, failed in their efforts to secure the same action, and the thoroughfare will be opened, if the report is adopted by the Council. The proposed opening of Oak street was very strongly opposed, and those ravoring the proceedings were unable to show sufficient cause for entailing the large expense upon propertyowners to secure the adoption of the report of the viewers and a recommendation to continue with the work. It will now go before the Council at next Wednes day's session upon the recommendation to rescind. While there were several large property-holders who wished the opening of Oak street executed, there were many more equally interested who op posed it. The Wells-Fargo people, the Henry Welnhard estate and the Com mercial Club, all heavily interested, had representatives present to enter vigorous protest. John H. Hall repre sented John Clark, and Zera Snow the Wells-Fargo Company. Those who wished the street opened are E. Henry Wemme, Percy Blyth, W. D. Fenton, Gay Lombard and H. L. Corbett. A large number opposed to the opening were not at the meeting-. The total assessment for the opening was $223,- 000. making the individual levies very high In some cases. On Stark street there is a small point that extends into the street near Burnside, and it Is this which the com mittee yesterday afternoon voted to have removed, so that there will be a continuous thoroughfare. This action was opposed by several large property- owners, but without avail. The report of the viewers was adopted and a rec ommendation from the committee will go to the Council, calling for the open ing of the street. . The property to be cut off in order to open the street Is owned toy Mrs. Elizabeth von Frldagh, and the view ers' report gives her approximately $6000 as damages. No one is assessed very high, however, to pay for the dam ages to her land. Yesterday's session was the last reg ular one to be held during the present regime. Councilman Vaughn, chairman of the committee, will retire from of flee July 1, as will also Councilmen Cottel and Heppner. All of these were present yesterday. A special meeting will be held next Tuesday afternoon to clear up all unfinished business. Y. M. C. A.

The steamer Dalles City is at this end of the line and will be inspected today. Vv ednesday the steamer J. N. Teal, of the Open River Company made an attempt to run the rapids, but was un successful. She got as far as Sheriuan's Point and fell back. The current was too stiff. District Forecast official E. A. Beals predicts a stage of 21.6 feet by Tuesday which is the top notch looked for at Portland. After that date the river will begin to fall. At The Dalles yesterday the rise was only 1.2 feet and at points above the rivers were practically at a standstill. A fall Is anticipated by tomor row on the Upper " Columbia and it is thought that the locks will open Mon day or Tuesday. In that event river communication between Portland and The Dalles will be immediately re opened. Practically all the water has run off from the Kootenai, Snake and Upper Columbia rivers and experts declare it is only a question of a few days until the June rise will be a matter of the past. IilXER ARABIA RECH4RTERED Portland & Asiatic Steamship Taken byBalfour, Guthrie & Co. Balfour, Guthrie & Co., have assumed charge of the Steamship Arabia and will load that vessel with lumber for Han kow, China. The deal was consummated yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock when the vessel was formally transferred from the service of the Portland & Asiatic Steamship Company to the Exporting firm. The Arabia Is on a sub-charter and will be delivered to the Harriman people at Shanghai, who in turn will deliver her to the Hamburg-American Company, owners. The rate paid for the Arabia is approximately $1200 a month. During the past five years the Arabia has been operating between Portland and the Orient in the service of the Portland Asiatic Steamship Company. Her char ter expires July 31 and calls for delivery to the Hamburg American people at either Hongkong or Shanghai. Under the charterparty the American firm can recharter the vessel for Oriental loading. The Arabia is now moored at the Inman-Poulsen Mills where she will take on a full load. Norweigan steamships have succeeded the Germans in the service of the Port land & Asiatic Steamship Company. Two are now in port. The Rygia is practi cally finished with a full cargo of lumber and the Selja is discharging Oriental freight at the. Ainsworth dock. During the time that the German ships have been operating out of Portland the officers have made many firm friends and the departure of the - last of the line from Portland harbor is the source of extreme regret on the part of the entire waterfront yesterday. Cargo Discharges From Gulf Stream. The British bark Gulf Stream, Captain Kichols, has completed the discharging her cargo of cement and has shifted to a berth at the foot of Jefferson street, on the West Side. The Gulf Stream is shapeliness.

Slump in Old Potatoes Lake Wash ington Berry Crop Is Short. Eggs Are lower. SEATTLE. Wash., June 18. (Special.) Word was received here this afternoon that the first car of watermelons will reach the city tomorrow afternoon. The stock comes from Texas and will be quoted at 3 cents per pound, or a cent under the opening price a year ago. The first straight carload of cantaloupes Is due Sunday morning and will be quoted at 8 to $7 per crate. Old potatoes dropped suddenly today and sold as low as J37 this afternoon. Appar ently there is a light demand for old stock and individual shippers, despairing of se curing higher prices, are unloading ail their available stocks. As a result, many cars of poor potatoes are on the tracks. New po tatoes have also dropped to 2 2-3 to 314 c. Berries were a little stirrer today, Clark's holding as high as 2. Reports from the Lake Washington berry fields are that the pick will be one-fourth short, owing to cold weather and lack of rain. Pineapples were quoted at $3.75 today. More pineapples are being sold here than ever before. Eggs dropped to 27 cents. As high as $1.05 was offered for new wheat on the exchange today, but none would sell at that price.
