Death of C. A. Wood
A Manly Letter
Sweeping Remonstrance
Council Proceedings Killed by the Cars Socialism and "Sorrow"
Dashney-Hansen
It Is with a feeling ol deep sad
ness that we arc called upon to
chronicle the death of C. A. Wood,
who passed to the world beyond
Saturday afternoon, Junci7, 191 t.at
the St. Vincent Hospital, Portland,
whither he had been taken on the
Wednesday preceding his death.
He had not been, feeling well at
times for the past year or so and
had been taking medical treatment
for some time. The cause of his
death was liver disease coupled
with hemorrhage of the stomach,
the latter rapidly sapping his
strength until death came ns stat
ed. His demise came as a distinct
shock to his friends here, few of
whom realized his serious condi
tion. C. A. Wood came to St. Johns
from Saginaw, Mich., in the slim
mer of 1605, and was an active fac
tor in the establishment of the Pe
ninsula bank, of which he became
cashier and general manager from
its iucipicucy, and to his genial
personality and good business judg
ment can he ascribed the success
which has attended this institution
siucc it opened its doors for busi
ness June 5, 1905.
No man in St. Johns was better
known in this city than C.A.Wood.
Of a cheerful and jollv disposition
to know him was to like him. He
had a pleasant word for all, no
matter in what station in life one
might be. Intensely loyal to his
friends, he jealously guarded their
interests and promoted their wel
fare. Being charitably disposed,
no worthy party ever sought his aid
in vain. He was ever an advocate
of harmony and peace in the com
munity and he was one of the best
upbuilders ot the city it ever pos
Messed. As a business man he was
keen and shrewd, yet we doubt if
uny man can say that C. A.
Wood ever took undue advantage
of him. In deportment he was af
fable, courteous and obliging. The
patrons of the bank were accorded
the best jwsslble treatment under
his administration, and his cheer
ful smile and pleasant word will be
greatly missed. His home life was
beautiful. Nothing wos too good
for his family and as a husband and
father he was most kind, thought
ful and affectionate. Possessed of
u powerful physique, yet his seden
tary occupation rendered him weak
and vitiated his vitality so that his
resistance against the encroachment
of disease was much less than might
have been expected of a man of bin
physical appearance. Faults he
may have had, but what man has
not? Vet, judged by the everyday
htaudards of life, he was a manly
man in every sense of the term. If
lie had enemies they were few, and
Ids friends were legion.
He was born .at Ingersol.Mlch.,
and when i8.years of age moved
with his parents to Saginaw, Mich.
He learned the banking business as
clerk in the First National Bank of
Saginaw, which his father was in
strumental in organizing and soon
arose to be assistant cashier. Sub
sequently he became associated
with the Saginaw Gas Co., Saginaw
Traction Co., and the Bartlett II
lumiuating Co. in capacity of treas
urer for the consolidated compan
ies, which he held until he came to
St. Johns. He was a 33d degree
, Mason and a charter member of
' Doric Lodge, A. F, and A. M. of
this city, and also of the local Order
of Owls.
The deceased was oged about
51 years, and leaves a widow and a
son, William, and daughter, Janet,
to mourn the loss of a most loving
and devoted husband and father.
The funeral took place at 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon at Finlfy's un
dertaking parlors, Portland, under
the auspices of the Kuights Tem
plar, and was attended by a large
concourse of St. Johus folks, in
cluding members of the Mason and
Owl orders, A special car convey
ed the friends to the undertaking
parlors. Through a misunder
standing the number of carriages
provided to transport the friends to
the cemetery was not as large as
iuteuded. The floral contribu
tions were profuse aud maguificeut.
Interment in Rlvervlew cemetery.

Portland, Ore., June 17, 1911.
Mayor Couch, St. Johns, Oregon,
Dear Sir: My attention Is called
to the suit instituted by Messrs.
Rogers, Woods and others to pre
vent the laviue of the Wcstrumitc
pavement on Jersey street. I write
this letter to say to you that 1 was
approached by the people who are
Interested In preventing this im
provement and was asked to join in
the effort to prevent it. I refused
for the reason that I preferred
WpUriimlli to no improvement at
nil, although it is my firm belief
that the Hittilitliic Is tlie belter
pavement. As an Inducement for
me to unite with them, I was ad
vised that I would be nut to no ex
pense whatever as the Warren Con
struction Comnanv would furnish
the funds to carry on this litiga
tion
r think It nrnner that the citv
ntitlioriiit-s of St. lohns should be
advised of this fact, as it shown
clearly that this movement to pre
vent the improvement is mane in
bclmlf of the Warren Construction
Company and is not realty initiated
by any interested projcriy owner.
It is nerfectlv clear that if anv
pavement is laid this year It must
be done by the Westrumite people,
and it therefore follows that if this
suit of the Warren Construction
Company to throw out the Westru
mite succeeds, that nothing will be
done toward improving the street
for a long time to come. It is itii
portaut that all concerned should
know the real basis of ttie suit,umi.
for that reason. I have elven YOU
this information.
Yours truly,
M. I. Holbrook,

tin- ilfvt'louiiiLMit of a town the firt-ti
suggestion, Invariably, Is "Bring In

to throw out all sorts of inducements
for the location of factories, Includ
ing exemption from taxes for a time,
frc sites and houses, aud these
methods have contributed so much
toward building up hundreds of
nrnmwrnns municipalities that their
wisdom can not b: cniestloiied. Any
thing ttiat will add to our desirable
population, wilt give employment
to men who support families and
thus contribute to the general wel
fare, is It all times desirable.
But the people who join heartily
in the work of brluglng In new in
dustries, and who show the Great
est enthusiasm over this feature of
the public work in which all good
citizens share, sometimes are the
first tn forget that new industries 1
brought In and the old oues already I
here require continuous suppon
and, failing to get, it, become a
hitidrance rather than an aid to de

fact that the home merchant Is en

the factory which we have obtained
by special effort. The merchant is
a uecessity eveu more so than the

William Shultz, who committed
suicide by the carbolic acid route
last Friday, was aged about 45
years. A wife and two children
survive him. It is said that his
miud became deranged through
some difficulty he haa with tuc
government in regard to some land
deals. His relations with his fam
ily had become somewhat strained
lately by reason of his erratic dis
position. He took the poison in
the morning and was taken to the
city hall, where he passed away at
nooutide.
A half dozen vigorous rcmon
strances against the acceptance of
the Maple street sewer system was
Injected into the council meeting
Tuesday night. As an illustration
of what the property owners find
to complain about, we publish the
one written by Dr. Joseph McChcs
ncy, which covers the grounds of
complaint of the others aud more:
To the Mayor and Council of the
City of St. Johns, Oregon.
Gentlemen: I hereby protest
against the acceptance of the Maple
street sewer and Its laterals,
Because: The bid for Its construc
tion was improperly awarded.
Because: The sewer has not been
constructed according to plans and
Specifications.
Because: The general construc
tion is faulty throughout.
Because: It is n menace to public
health.
Because: It Is an improvement
that docs not improve.
Because: By reason of its faulty
construction is has depreciated the
value of properly It was presumed
to have materially advanced.
Because the system of tunneling
used has lessened the cost to the
contractor without credit having I
been given to the projicrly owner.
Because: Of apparent collusion
between city engineer and contract
or, pipe having been placed along
the Hue of projwscd sewer before j
contract was let.
Because: Of insufficient tamping
of pipe. I
Hecnu'e: The catch basins are ot .
insufficient size.
Because: The tops of catch basins
have never been cemented inside,
Notice to Property Owners
Notice is hereby given that the
City Council, City Enginee, and
Contractor will meet at 8 o'clock a.
m. Tuesday, June 27th, at the City
Hall, to make a tour of inspection
of the main trunk and all laterals
of Sewer District No. 2. All prop
erty owners interested are re
quested to be present.
P. A. RICE,
Recorder.
thereby leaving an Insecure base
for the metal rim aud cover.
Because: The Imperfect tamping
of pipe will soon cause au uneven
settling aud a consequent faulty
alignment of pipe.
Because: The inspector failed to
stop construction of sewer when he
knew that the worK was not nemg
done aceordimr to specifications.
Because: Its acceptance means a
waste of the taxpayer's money.
Because: The city of St. Johus
cannot afford to be scandalized by
having such Inaccurate work foisted
upon its property owners.
Very respectfully yours,
Joseph McChesney.

the contract at almost $5000 below
the engineer's estimate it was
claimed by several competiug con

A little son of J. R. Masters met
with a painful accident one day last
week. He was runuing along the
sidewalk near his home with a tin
horn in his mouth when he fell to
the hard walk, striking the horn
aud crushing it badly Into the roof
of his mouth. The laceration was
a severe one, several stitches being
necessary to close the wound. Cer
tainly a delicate and paiuful opera
Hon. The little fellow is getting
along nicely, however.
All members present at the regu
lar meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening except Alderman
Horsmau, who, as delegate at
the K. of P., was in attendance
at the Grand Lodge meet which
convened at Astoria.
A petition for a fire hydrant at
North Hayes ami Trumbull street
was the first matter taken up. Same
was approved by the water nnd
light committee and granted on mo
tion of Alderman Valentine; all
yes.
A petition for the improvement
of Tyler street from Willis boule
vard to I'csscudcn street with six
fool cement sidewalks aud macad
am In center was referred to the
street committee by the mayor to
ascertain if the property wilt stand
for the improvement, and 011 sug
gestion of Alderman Brcdeson to
see if the improvement could not be
carried on through to Jersey street.
Remonstrances against the ac
ceptuuee of the Maple street sewer
were taken up. There were half a
dozen presented by the following:
J. J. McCann, J. B. Darowith, 1-'.
A. Gates, W. K. Coon, Sam tiud
Sarah Lelir, and Dr. Jos. Medics
ncy, and were referred to the street
committee by the mayor, who sug
gested that this committee get to
gether with the engineer and re
monstrators and thresh the matter
out Alderman Davis made a mo
tion that the council, contractor,
engineer nnd property owners meet
together in social session for that
purpose. Alderman Muck second
ed the motion, all voting yes but
Socialist Perrine, who wanted the
engineer and contractor brought be
fore the council and asked if the
specifications had been lived up to,
aud if not, why not. He said Kdi
son street looked like a one-sided
graveyard the entire length. Aid,
Hill gave an illustration of eight
men filling 400 feet of trench in 3
hours with loose sand, without
tamping or water. He called the
engineer's attention to it, and he
said it must be done over again. It
was not, yet the engineer accepted
it. He thought it looked funny,
and said that he had it on expert
authority that a crowbar sunk thru
the ground above the tunnels
would speedily drop when it struck
the tunnel, thus showing absence
of dirt around the pipes. On mo
tion of Mr. Hill the special meeting
was scheduled for Tuesday morning
next at 8:00 o'clock.
A communication was received
by Mayor Couch from M. I Hol
brook aud turned over to the re
corder for reading. It may be
found in another column of this is
sue. Another communication from
Mr. Holbrook favored laying Bitu
lithicoti Philadelphia street, believ
ing that the competition aroused
thus would be beneficial to the city.
Both were prdered filed by the ma
yor. A communication from the bonds
meti of Clias. K. Pottage stated
that any extension of time granted
to this contractor would be agreea
ble to the bondsmen. Therefore,
on motion of Alderman Hill, he
was granted 30 day's extension of
time ou the improvement of Ma
crum. A communication from one
Wakefield, attorney for Leslie Pet
erson, who had a collar bone bro
ken by falling into n sewer trench
some time ago, threatened suit
against the city for damages in the

While ou his way home from
work Friday evening at 6 o'clock,
Robert Tucker was run down by an
Oregon City Klcctric car near the
Oaks. A car was coming toward
him and he stopped out of the way
onto another track and right in
front of a car going the other way.
He was taken to a Portland hospl
tat in a Red Cross ambulance, but
died Saturday morning. Mr. Tuck
er was aged about 37 years, and
had been living ou the west side of
the river. For several years he
lived along the St. Johns water
front in n scow. He was employed
lately by the Pacific Bridge Co. A
widow nnd four children survive.
Flow of Oil Struck
Owners of oil claims in the Mal
heur oil belt arc said to be jubilant
over the striking of n substantial
flow of nil just encountered at n
depth of 1700 feet lu the Malheur
well owned by n company lu which
the Miles brothers of Vale arc prin
cipal stockholders. The oil appears
to be plentiful, but owing to the
groat (low of water it is difficult to
bring much to the surface.
The amount of oil averages about
a third of the bail one third sand,
one third water, and a third oil.
It is a more refined appearing oil
than that of the California fields
and will command a better price
than the California oil, it is stated.
Sunday's Oregoiiiau.
was adjusted. Referred to the city
attorney by the mayor.
Hills amounting to $ 164. .16 were
allowed 011 motion of Alderman
Muck; nil yes.
A bill for 124 as payment for the
special police hire 011 account of
the strike of the Mount Hood Rail
way employes elicited much dis
cussion from the fact that this com
pany offered to pay for the extras,
and in fact had placed them on
their pay roll. Alderman Brcdeson
contended that Keclal policemen
should be paid by the city and not
by n corporation, that the council
did not want anything in the shape
of n bribe; that he doubted the ne
cessity of the sjK'cial police in this
instance aud didn't think they
should be appointed. His state
ments were heartily applauded by
Socialist Perrine. The latter, how
ever, moved the bill be referred to
the Mount Hood company for set
tlement. A vote showed a tie
Aldermen Davis, Brcdeson nnd Hill
voting no; Valentine, Muck aud
Perrine yes. It took the mayor's
vote to decide, and he voted in the
affirmative.
The improvement of Chicago
street was accepted by council ou
motion of Alderman Hill; all yes.
The engineer's acceptance of
Maple street sewer was not taken
up 011 account of not Ircing .signed
by the street committee.
A resolution directing the fire
commission to acquire additional
fire apparatus that might be deemed
necessary was adopted on motion
of Alderman Muck,
Alderman Bredesou made a mo
tion that all hydrants be tested

of the fire department be empowered
to secure a man for this purpose;
carried, all yes.
Ou motion of Alderman Hill the
buildings and grounds committee
was authorized to have the steps ou
the north entrance to the city hall
repaired and lawn fixed up proper

Ou motion of Alderman Hill
Morris Bros, was given an exten.
slou of time, ending Tuesday at
8 p. in. to either accept or reject
the ferry bonds; all yes.
The First National Bank offered
to take the -f 20,000 improvement
bonds, which had been, advertised
ut par and accrued interest. Placed
with the city attorney for one week
011 motion of Alderman Muck; all
yes.
The mayor thought that the
Mount Hood company should be
required to fill in around the holes
made for placing poles on the ce
ment sidewalks with cement. No
action taken.
Portland was visited by an Fast
en! flax expert the past week, who
expressed surprise that more attent
ion is not paid to this crop in Ore
gon. He praised the quality of the
flax he found here as being super
ior to that found elsewhere, either
in this country or abroad aud hopes
to see the day when a great linen
Industry will be built up and far
mers generally thoughout Western
Oregon will grow flax with profit.

Kdltor Review: Will you give
me space for a few words in your
valuable paper? Under the caption
"Leads to Sorrow." in vour last
issue is one of the most pathetic
stories (I believe) I ever read. One
poor working animal receiving only
$75 jer month for running an ele
vator, broke his confines, strayed
out ou the streets of Portland and
was attracted by a placard or So
cialist banner. Stopped aud list
ened. He cheered.. He laughed.
He learned that he was a man. He
was made to realize that he was a
maul 1 hat he had rights. Poor
fellow. He had voted the good old
ticket all his life, as au obedient
slave would do. He had never re
alized that he was "a man." He
only thought of his master's luxu
ries,! job. lie quit. Poor fellow,
he only knew enough to do as he
was told. But now he had learned
that he was "a man." He lost a
"good job"much better job than
the average man of his "training
can get." His training was of a
useful kind. No millionaires, no
salaries, or luxuries for that king
of work. "In the second place,
he had 110 prospects and very little
money," yet he had worked hard
and obeyed his master for lo these
many years, bad story, yet true.
Now, Mr. F.ditor, I saw this man
last night myself. He told me all
about it. He said he attended all
the street meetings, and went to
the meetings in the Socialist hall;
he said he understood socialism
better now than he did after that
first meeting, when he quit his job
just because he learned that he was
"a man." He went back last week
nnd found his place had been filled
by another at less pay. bo he is
now among the army of the unem
ployed. He is now studying how
to become a millionaire. He showed
me n government report that rati
something like this: In 1901 in the
United States one industry em
ployed 185,140 men; wages paid,
84,973,923.00; average yearly
earnings, 458.975 per day, t.6o;
value of product per man, 1015, 02.
Now, says he, take 458.97 from
1815.82 and you have 1356.85
for the man who owns the machine.
Now, says he, I am trying to find
some way to get hold of one of
them machines, then I could live in
luxury all the rest of my days and
the other fellow could run the ele
vator. Just then the soap boxer
came along uud heard this remark.
He turned and said: "I can tell you
how you can get the machine."
He jumped to ins teet, grasped his
hand and said; "You taught me
that I am a man and I am glad. I
believe you can do this also. How
can I get it?" The soap boxer sat
down and told him to get a job if
Kssible,for all he could expect was
a mere existence. There are 110
luxuries for the wage slaves. Join
the Socialist party, the party of your
class. Scatter all Socialist literature
you can get among the workers,
mid if we increase in the next six
years as we have in the past two
years we will win in 1916. Then
we will own the machine, and get
1815.82 for one year's work in
stead of I458.95. Do you see the
point? He took out a red and
paid 25 cts and you can see him
now with a bundle of Socialist pa
lers working with all his might for
the Co-operative Commonwealth
where your "outcasts and helpless
beggars in the bread Hue and soup
kitchens" will cease, A happier
man you never saw,
O. I. Perrine.
It is too bad that Mr. Perrine did
not have the "man" find a later
government report than 1904. The
report as quoted would have us le
llevc that one industry in one year
earned above expenses the stupend
ous sum over a quarter of billion of
dollars. Docs any one believe that?
It does not show that the industry
owned its own raw material, owned
machinery that cost many thousauds
and possibly millions of dollars, in
cluding patents ou the same, by the
aid of which the workman was en
abled to earn his own wage and a
little besides. Let us suppose that
tills report for once is absolutely
correct aud that the workmen earn
ed 1815.82 per man. The Social
ists would have us believe that the
workmen are entitled to all of it.
I.et us then take numerous other
factories that fail every year after
absorbing all the money the own
ers of the machine had gathered to
gether to start the enterprise.
Should not the workmen lu these
plants be forced to make make good
these losses out of their own wa
ges? One proposition must be fair
as the other. This man ran au el
evator, we are told. Au utter non
producer. How much does he
earti? Whoshallpay him-the "ma
chiue or the "wage earners?"

of the wedding march played by

bride, beautifully gowned iu white
with a lotig bridal veil, and the
groom attired in the conventional
black, followed by Miss Bertha
Kcpf of The Dalles.bridcsinaid and
John Hansen, brother of the bride,
groomsman, marched into the par
lor and stood under the wedding
bower.
The ring ceremony was used by
Rev. F. N. Saudifcr, minister of
the M. IS. church of this city, after
which he introduced to the guests
Mr. and Mrs. Dashuey whom he
had just pronounced husband aud
wife. Most hearty congratulations
were ofFcrcd them "by nil.
The bride carried a bouquet of
bride's roses, and the bridesmaid n
bouquet of lavender sweet cns. An
elaborate dinner was served followed
by a joyous social hour. Many
beautiful mid costly gifts, consisting
of silverware, cut glass and linens
were presented to the bride. At n
late hour the bride,, standing m
the front steps, tossed her bou
quet to the crowd of guests gath
ered 011 the lawn, which was cnuglit
by Miss Iuga Johnson.
The bride has n large number of
friends here and will be greatly
missed. The groom Is 11 popular
young man at The Dalles, where
the happy pair will soon be at home
to their friends. Among the near
ly 50 guests were Mr. and Mrs.
Dashuey Sr., and two married
daughters from The Dalles, and
Mrs. Knox, of Kelso, Wash., n

wishing the young couple long

their minds. Like sheep they live
and like sheep they die, knowing
little more at old age than whuu a

profit was killed in their souk in
slavery days. Man is placed in

lived In vain if he does not. But
unless there is some object to attain
it Is man's nature not to progrw.

would not favor It. This they can
not deny.
