PORTLAND COUNCILMAN
SCORES PAPING COMPANIES
PORTLAND, Oct. 27, "In five
years the city will be owned by the
paving companies. The ordinance re
quiring the city to pay an nnnual main
tenancc fee of 2 1-2 cents n square yard
to companies which put down streets
the terms of tho contracts let this veni
al ready has practicvally mndo n gift
of -4100,000 to the companies, nnd by
thoy will rceneivo $100,000 more.'
This startling statement was made
by Councilman Kellaher when he pro
duced a large bundle of statistics which
he has been gathering for months. He
says ho wil filo these documents with
the council at the next meeting, in an
endeavor to induce the body to repeal
the. maintenance clause of the street
improvements ordinance.
fI do not say" continued Mr. Kelln
hor, f that tho liitnlithit company, or
any other company, or any other firm
alone, is mulcting tho taxpayers
through this iniquitous law, but flint
all of them are geeting something they
should not get. No other large city in'
tho country pays for the maintenance
of .pavements. Tho contractors them
selves are required to do this else
where. The maintenance clause should be an
nulled, nnd I intend to use every effort
to bring about its repeal.'
SHOOTS WIFE AND IS
B RAVING MANIAC AS RESULT
PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 27. Mrs. E.
B. Knox lies slowly dying today in a
hospital as the result of a bullet wound
inflicted by her susband yesterday. In
tho room Knox, formerly cashier of the
Phoenix National bank, in a raving
maniac, talking about plots to kill
hira by electricity. He is believed to be
dying also as tho result of wounds he
inflicted on himself with a pen knife
after hs attempt to kill his wife. The
tragedy occurred at tho yard of the
home of L. E. Hewins, where the couple
had been slaying for some time. Knox
fired four shots at his wifV. Three
went wild nnd the fourth lodged just
under her heart. The wounded woman
ran into the house and Knox (quipped
tho( revolver vainly at his head. Then
ho, pulled out a pen knife nnd linefeed
at .bis wrist. When he was arreted
Knox was insane.
STB EL TRUST'S RIVAL IN
DANGER OF SHUTDOWN
WASHINGTON, Oct.. 27, A Beth
lehem, Pa., committee, headed by rep
resentative Brodhead, came here today
tn gsk the President to send as much
work to the Bethlehem steel mills the
chief competitor of tbe steel trust, n
possible, there being so little to do that
there is danger of the force of skilled
workmen being disered. .
The President sent the committee t
Secretary Metcalf and he told them
there was not enough work to keep the
navy yards busy. He suggested that
they appeal to congress for more shirts.
Mr. Brodhead answered that he had
voted for four ships at the last session
of -congress and woold do so again
at the first opportunity.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Oct. 27,
I'his city is having its experience -with
Mind pigs nnd boot legging. The police
court has had move plain drunk cases
since prohibition went into effect than
at any previous time. In Klamath Falls
prohibition under the locnl option law
seems a fiasco. Instead of checking
drunkeneHH and crime, lawlessness has
appnraiitly been stimulated, not Hint
there arc no people in tho city who bo-
lievi- in the enforcement of the law,
but none seems readv to undertake the
prosecution of any violators. Most of
the saloons in the city are running just
as they did before the county went dry.
The beer signs are still on tho corners
and I he windows aro docorated with
words and paintings to attract tho thirs
ty. Nome of the places havo displays
of bottles in the windows. In fact,
there is no difference in the, appearance
of t he places since the first day of
Inly, when, according to the popular
vote, all liquor was banished from the
enmity. Tho bars with their white
aproned tenders are in the same places
and in the same wnv. Mr. Knodell the
prohibit ion leader, stated in a public
discourse, when hero a few weeks ago,
that he could smell whiskev every time
he passed one of the places.
Whenever the subject of blind pigs
is mentioned there are those who will
k: "Why is it permitted? Why does
not some one do something?" The city
officials claim they have no jurisdic
tion and the county officers say tliey
are not detectives . and can take no
action until someone swears tn a com
plaint. The locnl prohibition leaders
:md it is expected that something will
ilrop when the grand jury convenes in
the early part- of December.
IMPERIAL VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.
Seven yours ago Imperial valley was
:i barren desert inhabit ed by jack rab
bits. Through the magic, influence of
water hundreds of thousands of acres
of land nre now being irrigated and
the land under irrigation is selling from
100 to $1(100 per acre.
Notwithstanding tho intense heat and
other climatic disadvantages, it is now
the nbode of several hundred thousand
prosperous people.
Rogue River valley ban been settled
for 40 Years; vet, notwithstanding its
superior climate nnd many advantages,
the population is less than that of Im
perial vallev and the land is much low
er in value and productiveness.
One thing only is lacking, and that
is WATFU1.
Owing to the different elevations of
land in the Ilogtie River valley, the
pumping proposition is the most feasi
ble and economical way of supplying
water for irrigation.
The Condor Water & Power company
have nn abundance of water the whole
Kogue river and they also havo an
abundance of power to pump this wa
ter wherever needed.
