city counril in adjourned session this
morning, following tentative bids
submitted at the regular session or
the couneil .Monday night. Though
the vote was taken behind closed
doors, the council was a unit in the
selection of nsphalt. as against not
only bitulithlc. but llassani as well.
According to the preliminary cal
culation of City Engineer Charles E.
Huberts, the asphalt for the 39
blocks, designated by the council
several weeks ago, based on the
Itemized hid of the Clark-Henry
111 cost $92.-
than the grand
expend. This
block, at which
rate about 11 additional blocks can
be paved for the remaining: J27.7SO
and still leave nearly $2OU0 for en
gineering and Incidental expenses.
Affording as It does this opportunity
of extending the proposed new paved
area beyond the limits originally es
tablished, the action of the council
in selecting the bid of the Clark
Henry Company is being commended
by the citizens generally and par
ticularly by those property owners
who wanted the pavement at first
and were disappointed, but now see
a chance to have their wishes
granted.
I'lans for the pavement of extra
blocks will have to be withheld,
however, until Engineer Roberts
prepares his final specifications,
which may or may not create ma
terial changes in the present esti
mate. Six weeks or more of time
will elapse before these specifica
tions are ready for the council's ac
tion and before the necessary ordin
ances are passed nnd advertisements
have run. In the meantime, the
council will sell the $4(1.000 bond
issue, bids for which will be opened
next Monday night.
Quality of Pavement and Hid.
Four bids were submitted to the
council. Besides the one from the
Clark-Henry Company, there were
two from the Warren Construction
Company on two grades of bltullthic
and one from the Oregon Hassam
Company for Hassam. The Clark
Henry Company's bid ranged from
$1.79 a square yard for 8-inch ns
phalt pavement down to $1.49 for
uVi-lnch six different grades In all.
with a half inch depth distinguish
ing one from the other. The Rose
burg council decided on the second
grade, costing $1.69 a square yard,
which comprises a 5-inch crushed
rock base, a one-Inch concrete binder
and a 1-inch wearing surface
7 M. inches thick in all. The only
difference between this grade and
the first grade Is that the latter has
a wearing surfare a half inch thick
er. The second grade will he fully
amide, however, for any and all
Irafllc in Roseburg, especially on the
residence streets, where it will be
principally laid. Other items of the
Clark-Henry Company's bid follow:

Of the two bids submitted by the
Warren Construction Company, one
was for their "Standard" grade or
bitulithlc, 8 Inches thick, such as is
laid In Roseburg. For this they
asked a price bt $2 a square yard, as
against $2.34 which the city paid
them last year. Their other bid was
for "Special" bitulithlc, or a pave
ment six inches thick, for which thev
submitted a figure of $1.90 per.
square yard.
On the bid for the "Standard"
grade the price for 39 blocks ap
proximated $110,800, on the
"Special" grade $106,300. which of
itself is $14,000 above the estimated
price of the asphalt which the coun
cil has selected and nearly $10,0110
greater than the cost of 8-inch as
phalt, which was calculated at $99,
640. The Hassam Company was as high
as the bitulithlc concern, quoting a
price of $2 per square yard. The
council gave this bid little or no
consideration, none of the members
preferring Hassam to either asphalt
or bitulithlc.

Ministers' Petition Tabled.
The petition presented a week ago
by the six members of Hoseburg's
Ministerial Union, asking for the
closing of local theatres on Sundays,
was given formal burial by being
laid on the table. Chairman Strong,
of the committee to whom the peti
tion had been referred, made the
following report:
"The committee has referred this
petition back to the council without
recommendation, feeling that it in
volves a matter that should be acted
on by the council as a whole. Per
sonally, I am in favor of granting it,
but I think there are other busi
nesses in Roseburg that ought also
to be closed on Sundays."
Josephson moved and MlcclU
seconded that the petition be laid on
the table. On a viva voce vote this
carried without dissent, hut two or
three councilmen did not vote at all.
Street and Sewer Matters.
Upon recommendation of the street
committee, the council granted peti
tions for the macadamizing and ce
ment curbing of East Lane street,
from Main to Spring, and of South
Jackson street, from Mosher to
Waite, also a petition for the estab
lishment of a grade on High street

Will Confirm Hughes.
A canvass of the Senate today In
dicates that the nomination of Gov.
Hughes as a justice of the U. S
Supreme Court will be unanimously
confirmed. The selection of Hughes
to succeed the late Justice Brewer
is meeting w-ith general approval,
even among those who have criti
cised his acts as governor. The
members of the Cubtnet discussed
the appointment of Hughes this af
ternoon and expressed gratification
at his acceptance of the judgeship.
President Taft has received hundreds
of telegrams and letters of congratu

Oregon Supreme Court nlllrmlng the
decision of the Circuit Court In this
city in deciding against Senator Al-1
bert Abraham, Dr. Geo. E. Houck
and M. C. Gregory, who sued to en
join the council from the collection
of assessments against them for the
laying of a sewer on East Oak street,
between Main and Chadwlck, a dis
tance of three blocks. A telegram
announcing the Supreme Court's de
cision was received by The Review
this afternoon. Abraham sustains
thereby his second defeat at the
hands of the city, whom he unsuc
cessfully fought some time ngo on
the question of the collection of
license for practicing law.
The sewer involved In the litiga
tion just ended was laid by the city
In 1905 upon the petition of plain
tiffs. When the assessments were
levied, Abraham, Houck and Gregory
refused to pay because such assess
ments had not been distributed
among the owners of property on the
north side of the street, the sewer
being laid on the south side. They
accordingly II led an Injunction suit
to restrain the city from collecting
on the levies. The city, In combat
ing the suit, set up the defense that
the sewer was laid just as the peti
tioners had asked for and the cost
assessed to them pursuant to pre
vious agreement, regardless of the
benefit derived by the property own

BOISE, April 26. Tho whole
state is stirred by the disclosures
following the resignation of M. I.
Church, register of the state land
board, who is alleged to have stepped
out to prevent removal. Governor
Brady says Church has confessed
that he had contracted to receive
about twenty-five hundred dollars
from promoters of irrigation pro
jects in case their filings were ap
proved by the land board. The pro
moters declare that Church repre
sented that It was customary for
irrigation companies operating under
the Carey Act to pay him for his ser
vices. Church Is suld to have given
an excuse to the Governor that mem

by the Carey Act propects and he
decided to do the same. More sen
