THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1909. BIG CUT IDE PRICE OF PAVING Combine Comes Down to $2 a Square Yard in Cost of Hard Surface. MAYOR WINS BIG VICTORY Concessions Made for, Asphalt and Bitulithlc Will Mean Saving of Larp Amount to Property-owners. Bltulithic and asphalt pavements at "not more than $2 a square yard, and still lower In the not far distant future," is the cheering news officially g'ven out by Mayor Simon yesterday. Both com tkanfes. which have been the head and front of the hitherto unbreakable "trust" In Portland, have capitulated, and the adminlftration has won a notable victory. As tn Hassam, it Is facing a crisis; the managers are perfectly willing to lay their material for $1-75 a square yard, if they can get any streets. In other words, they are in a desperate fight with competitors, and their brand ia still un- Both bitulithlc and asphalt have been costing the property-owners of this city all the way from $2.15 to $2.40 a square yard, so it will be sen at a glance by the most caima! observer that Mayor Simon and the Administration have achieved a remarkable victory In forcing the prices down to "not more than $2." Hassa m has been costing $1.90 a square yard, but Its managers have slgnitied a willingness to reduce this. If the Coun cil wilt order streets paved with this ma terial by resolution, as has ben done for asphalt and bltulithic. The facts are. however, that Hassan. Is not in favor, although some of it lias been laid. Mayor Makes Pledge Good. When Mayor Simon announced through The Oregonian from Seattle Portland day. July 3. that he would break up the paving trust In this city, there were many skeptics, who said that they had their doubts as to whether this promise could be fulfilled. Now, however, the Mavor nas "made good. and the resnilt win be the saving of hundreds of thou sand of dollars to the property -owners of Portland. But the Mayor is not yet through, and the ratrs will be cut still further in due time. It will thus be seen that in considerably less than one month from the date upon which the Mayor made his promise to the people to reduce prices and bring about competition, he has accomplished it. I'pori assuming office July 1, Mayor Simon soon discovered that property owners in Portland were paying too much for street improvements. Ha also learned of the fact that the local trust had everything its own way, and dictated prices, dividing the territory between the favored members. He at once began a systematic study of the vexatious prob lem, with the object In view of remedy in? conditions. He was busily engaged In various official duties for the first three weeks of hia term, but when he went to Seattle to represent the city on Portland dsv. he Inspected the streets there and found they were getting aaphalt for 52 a square yard. May Throw Bidding Open. I'pon his return to Portland, the Mayor took up the matter with the members of t.ie street committee of the Executive Board, In an effort to arrange a new plan of letting contracts. His idea was to eliminate the names of different brands and simply call for "hard surface." Every brand could thus be -submitted In competition, whereas, under existing conditions, the Council named a certain kind and the Board was oblteed to award a contract for that brand. The members of the committee are still at work on a plan. While the City Council formerly did the biddmg of tlie trust magnates. It is now believed ttat Mayor Simon has sufficient support In the Council to carry through any plan which he may desire to allevi ate the conditions that abound as a re sult of the machinations of the combine managers. While the prices have been lowered to a considerable dogree, it Is believed the Mayor will not stop until he has some legislation on the subject, which will govern prices and other mat ters concerning this subject. Before any plan could be evolved, how ever, the Mayor felt that Immediate re lief should be had. H therefore in structed City Engineer Morris to make up future estimates for hard -surf ace streets at the actual cost of the work, adding only a fair protlt for the con tractor. It was then announced that the Executive Board would award no more contractu for hard-surface pavements unless the bids should come within the Knplncer's estimate. This the Board has full power to do. Seeing that the Mayor had "the upper hand. the trust mag nates, who have heretofore virtually lauRhet! at all efforts to regulate their business and bring reduced prices, held conferences with the Mayor and have now come fo trms. BITTER ROOT SITUATION A Review of (he Harrlman-Hill Rail road Fipht There. " Portland. Aur T the ETditor.) As an oMerver of the controversy between the Orison Trunk Railroad, tacked by Porter Pros In the nIrt, and the Harrtman inter t tlonf the rSesfhntc Rim, I thought that perhaps th anIry of the lt nation t!-.er to that In the Fitter Root Mountains a hrrt time af would be in a way ex planatory o; the aenerml Harriman method. For ome ten yeara the S'orthem pacific Railroad has had definite knowledge of the route r-m M!oula. Mont., throuch the JLo l.o F?a to Lwtsren. Idaho, and the rich Clearwater country. U ran Ita first pre liminary lurvfy over the pa in lSQtt and at ar-out t same time had made, at conoid em Me expense. a reconraisaalce map of tha entire territory tributary to the Lo Lo paaa for Irt to 1 ,t ml let on either fide of the summit. The location line to the summit as rrJec'd ttpon paper and every detail worked out for the correct running of the located line, but It was not deemed poaslble to ahead with It at that time. In l-02 the Chicago. Milwaukee aV St. Paul Railroad placed engineers on the nme route when endeavoring to find a sult aMe pa through the Fitter Root Mountain range for their trans-con tlnental railroad. Thev pushed their surveys in the worst time of the year, th Winter season, to a point ;o to ?5 miles beond the summit, and there they abandoned the line, finding that It was not possible, and that they could not put in a line with the maximum curvature and grade allowed that would meet the de mands of a main line to the coast In i9-t9 what has happened ? Have the Harriman Interests bought the maps and other aluable Information of the Lo Lo Pass route from th-- Milwaukee? No one seems ready with the answer. But at any rate, one dav in May. 0. there arrived at L.o Lo a camp outfit of the L'rlon Pacific. O. R tt N.. or. said, the Southern raclffe But that doesn't matter. It waa Harriman lr.tere;s that were represented. They began Immediately to locate a line from Lo Io up the Jx Lo Creek without ! topping to run preliminary llrwa. appar ally, sod pushed H aUng with all apacd. , Before a week had ended two parties were on tha route and In about a month four parties were working very day and Sundays to put the line In ahead of Mr. Hill. Now, Mr. Hill or the Northern Pacific had had a party working at the summit unHr Assistant Engineer Mayer two weeks before tha first Harriman party appeared and as Mr. HaJTiman's party appeared more ortn ern Pacific parties came upon the scene, and In about a. month there were f"r rthr,.n Pacific parties also In the field. What start ed Mr Harriman on this route so suddenly? Had he heard of the Northern Pacific party being at the summit? Waa be gomg to let any road through anywhere without a fight? Didn't he have some arrangement with the Milwaukee In some manner? At least, he had their maps and information of the route and it was su-pected that he had a blue print of the Northern Pacific prelim inary line, because his engineer located ex actly on the line the Northern Pacific had projected. To my own knowledge, I know that tbey retraced the Northern Pacific line In many Important places. It will never be known, probably, whether such an alliance existed between the Milwaukee and Mr. Harriman or not, but It is certain that it would not have been possible for Mr. Har riman's people to run the line Indicated with the speed manifested had they not used Information which no one saw them get. It was a battle royal, was the whol-a route on the Eastern Slope and it is still raging on the western side of the mountain. But it is conceded by all that the Northern Pa cific has Mr. Harriman ousted on that route, and It seems probable, as the Northern Pa cific has long stretches of right of way al ready cleared and several camps are scat tered alon the route engaged In clearing at the critical points. From this brief outline of the Bitter Root controversy. It seems to me that we see the same old Harriman trait as that shown at the present Deschutes work. Mr. Harri man is certainly .endeavoring to gobble up the entire railroad situation and hold it aa his own hobby, but if the people In this MAYOR SIMON PURCHASES c- i few. t t t THE MAYOR AT THE Major Simon has the distlnctio driven In Portland, -me car racn ytsterday mornins.

WILL PAY $25,000 CASH Property Acquired From May Land Company Will Be Improved With Adequate Buildings With. Funds Now on Hand. The County Commissioners have pur chased 173 acres of land from the May Land Company for a new County Farm. Twenty-five thousand dollars cash is the price the county is to pay for the tract.

The land lies 14 miles east of Portland, on the Troutdale electric line. It Is slight ly rolling, and has on It a spring of water about 100 feet higher than the aver age elevation of the farm. It is' thought that with the $137,000 secured by the county for the old farm on the Canyon Road, the new tract can be fitted up with modern and well-equipped buildings and the farm placed upon a self-supporting basis. The ranch of Napoleon Davis lies Just to the west. For several weeks the Commissioners have been spending their afternoons in looking at farms. Mrs. Lena Delamer was at the Courthouse confering with the Commissioners, and with Judge Webster, several afternoons, and Judge Webster is said to have been highly in favor of pur chasing 130 acres for which she was act ing as agent. This property was the Gra ham place and 50 acres of the 8tone place, lving on the road between the Twelve Mile house and Sandy Road, near Fair view. But she wanted about 145,000 for the tract, and would have made a com mission at the county's expense, it is said. Commissioners Lightner and Barnes fa vored another place, there being several other good offers at lower prices. MAY CREMATE PACPER DEAD County Commissioners Consider Con tract With Crematorium. With the purchase of the new County Farm and the discontinuance of the Pot ters' Field at the old farm on the Canyon Road, will probably come a new arrange ment as to pauper burials. The County Commissioners called In Emmet Williams, president of the Portland Crematorium Association, several days ago, and talked over with him the question of cremation. A contract by which all the charity dead from the new County Hospital should be cremated was talked of, and may later be made. County Commissioner Lightner said last nisht that a new potters' Field will be established at the new farm, where those who die at the farm will be burled. The distance of the new farm from the city will make the cost of burying the dead of the hospital there almost prohibitive. Nothing will be done about the Crema torium contract until the County Hos pital is opened. September 1. Supplies for the new hospital are now going in. MRS. FIXCH SUES BROTHER Falling Out Due to Her Efforts to Save Husband From Gallows. Mrs. May Petty Finch and her brother, John Petty, are not on very good terms these days. The trouble between them is said to have arisen because the brother tried to dissuade the bride of three weeks from expending her money in an effort to save her husband, James A. Finch, from the gallows. When she refused to be persuaded, he is said to have written a letter to his mother, in which he told her Finch would probably be sentenced at least to life Imprisonment, and that it was foolish for his sister to spend her money on him. ' Learning of the letter. Mrs. Finch brought suit in the Clrcult'Court against her brother, which. If decided in her favor, will give her $300 more for her hus band's benefit. It appears from the complaint that she sold Petty a lot in Lynn Park for $1050. on a contract of sale. He has paid $300. but is alleged to be in arrears. She demands that the contract be rescinded. Finch expressed yesterday his confi dence that his case will go to the LTnited States Supreme Court, and that it will be at least three years before he Is hanged. Attorney Jeffrey said that before 20 days elapse he Intends to file with the State Supreme Court a motion for a rehearing. as he believes some law points have been overlooked. He Is not planning further than that, he says. It is thought he will make an effort to take the case to the Federal Supreme Court if Finch has the r. - . funds. Finch still complains that he did not have a fair trial, that his lawyers were inactive in his behalf. Deserted Husband Seeks Divorce. Glenn B. Cline has filed a divorce suit in the Circuit Court against Meybelle Cllne, alleging that although he provided for her a good home, with all the com forts of life and many of the luxuries, she refuses to live with him. He mar ried her November 25, 1906. WANT HAWTHORNE TRACT East Side Citizens Ask That Prop erty Be Purchased tor Park. The matter of securing four blocks of the Hawthorne tract for a park will not be dropped because of the unfavorable Impression the Mayor and Park Commis sioners seemed to have gained from their visit to the grounds Tuesday. Members of the general committee of citizens, ap pointed bv the East Side Business Men's Club, had a conference yesterday, and will urge that action be taken to secure the four blocks. C. A. Bigelow. president of the Business Men's Club, said yester day: . civwtnft wnuld be The anumpuun mat asked for the four blocks In quetlonts not wall founded.

It Is true that it does not look as beautiful as did the U blocks of the original tract, which Portland should have secured several years ago. but as the four blocks stand to day they are more beautiful than Holladay Park and can. at small expense, be made one of the most beautiful places in the city. Sentiment of the people of Central East Portland Is unanimous for the acquisition of these four blocks and the matter will be urged. The committee this afternoon has taken steps to bring the matter again to the attention of the Park Board. A mass meeting will probaDly be called.

Gifford Plnchot. official head of the Forest Service, will deliver an address in this city Monday night, August 30, under the auspices of the Oregon Con servation Commission. The place for holding this meeting and other details will be arranged at a meeting of mem bers of ' the Conservation Commission which will be held tomorrow night. Mr. Plnchot's original itinerary in the Pacific Northwest brought him to Port land a week -earlier but he haa changed his plans. At the conclusion of the ses sions of the National Irrigation Congress at Spokane, Mr. Pinchot will go to Se attle where he will attend the annual meeting of the National Conservation Commission before coming to this city. The address of Mr. Plnchot will treat with subjects relating to the forests, in cluding the Important problem of re forestation. Local lumbermen are taking a great Interest in the meeting and the opportunity of beating Mr. Plnchot, who is a recognized authority on forestry. It is the intention of the members of the Oregon Conservation Commission to make the meeting strictly a Pinchot gathering. The National Forester will be the principal speaker. F. W. Mulkey, president of the Conservation Commis sion in this state, will preside and in troduce the distinguished visitor. BOOZE FOUND IN ALBANY Alleged Bootlegger In Act of Pass ing Bottle. ALBANY, Or', Aug. 11. (Special.) Rushing Into the back room of the feed store of Joseph B. Andrews to day. Deputy Sheriff Munkers caught Andrews with a whisky bottle in his hand apparently ready to wait on a customer standing in the room with him. He also found nine full quart bottles of whisky in a box by the head of Andrews' bed in a room adjoining the store. Munkers already had a war rant for Andrews' arrest on a charge of selling whisky when he visited the store, but seized a favorable opportun ity to try and catch Andrews making a sale. Joseph Ballard and Claud Miller were also arrested today, charged with vio lating the local option law. Ballard is charged with selling whisky, and it is said he has been "bootlegging" about the streets. Miller is proprietor of a nearbeer saloon on Ferry street, and is charged with selling beer.

UNION BANDS UNDER BAN Organization Will Xot Appear With Government Players. LEWISTOX, Idaho, Aug. 11. (Spe cial.) Because Spokane wanted some good music during the progress of the National Irrigation Congress, a Gov ernment band was hired. Now the mu sicians' union is up in arms and has ordered all members to remain away from the Inland Empire during the course of the Congress. Karl Baumgaertel is a member of the union at San Francisco. When Spokane needed bands and its own aggregation would not appear at a function where a Government band was playing, Baum gaertel's band was hired from Lewis ton. Then came the ultimatum from San Francisco, brought by correspon dence from the Spokane union. This union has been successful In wielding a club over all union bands of the Inland Empire. The Lewiston Commer cial Club had planned to take Baum gaertel's band with it to appear in a big parade at Spokane, but was forced by the aotion of the union to go with out music. It is said this occurrence has given the musicians' union a black eye, and will react to a great extent upon the cause of unionism in this part of the oountry.
