The other day a fellow snapped
Frank Whiteman in his new Howard
auto that he won in the voting con
test. The Courier had the above cut
made of it.
Whiteman won this $1700 auto be
cause his friends gave it to him; be
cause they worked while he was on
his mail route, and it was a splendid
complement to a man who has fri
ends of the stand-by kind all over the
county.
Mr. Whiteman says tne auto cost
him $2.00 in cash and his friends a
lot of work.
There was no politics, pull or money
used by Mr. Whiteman or his friends.
They simply showered the votes onto
him, and one ot the tellers toia me
Courier they stopped counting when
Whiteman was about 2,000,000 votes
ahead and that about 2,000,000 votes
O. D. EBY S WHITEWASH
E. D. Olds Shows up his Attempt to
Spread it on County Court.
Oh, you bunch of Live Wires! Of
course you want to swallow that dope
that O. D. Eby fixed up for you in his
report to you Tuesday. It's a bitter
pill to swallow it and call it good, but
it seems you would like to be doped.
It looks that way to the people of the
county.
Your Mr. Eby stated at the meeting
Saturday that he had no report to
make and that he expected to join in
a joint committee report. Now if he
told the truth Saturday he certainly
got busy between then and Tuesday,
to go to the bottom of all of those
charges filed against the court, which
the committe appointed at the mass
meeting spent fciur weeks in investi
gating. Now ,Mr. Voter, I want to
show you how Mr. Eby is feeding you
"dope," and trying to cover up instead
of trying to uncover, how he is de
fending the court at every turn. He
showed his attitude so clearly at the
meeting held April 29, 1913, that his
own brother-committeeman, John W.
Loder, told me on the streets May 14,
that he could see Eby was trying to
defend the court, instead of attempt
ing to investigate the charges and
learn the truth of the reports.
Eby tells you in his lengthy vindica
tion of the court, that Olds' quota
tions were from other bridge compan
ies. This is not so. I quoted figures
from structural steel manufacturies,
and not from bridge companies. He
also stated my figures were on plans
submitted by me, and that the Live
Wire committee had no way of know
ing whether the plans were the ones
in question or not. I don't believe
Mr. Eby and Mr. Loder are so lack
ing mentally, as to make that state
ment and believe it. They had my
own papers, with Mr. J. S. Groo's re
port attached, containing a sworn
statement as to the weight of the
steel of he same four bridges, the
weight token from the plans in the
county clerk's office. Ask Mr. Irven
at the'Aurora bridge if Mr. Groo and
myself did not check up the weight
of that bridge, and refer to Coroner
W. J. Wilson if you desire to know
whether or not Mr. Groo and myself
went to the Stone and Sunnyside
gulch bridges in his auto one day
last fall, and checked the weight of
the steel in those bridges.
Now, Mr. Eby, you may be an av
erage lawyer, but you are way out of
your calling as a bridge builder. I do
not believe that you can pour that
kind of "dope" down anybody's
throats, excepting perhaps the Live
Wires, who as business men in favor
with the powers that be, very natural
ly prefer a strange silence during the
proceedings. It will be noted among
the farmers of the county that they
did not, as a body, accept your pail of
whitewash.
You know, as well as you know any
thing, that tho papers you hud of
mine, were on the same plans as built
by the court. If you don't you are
certainly ignorant. As to my report
on the Fischer bridge, I will state that
1 never mado any report on it at all.
I simply called the committee's atten
tion to the method by which it was
built, and the price paid for the same.
Proceed with the recall, Brothers
Brown, llagerman and Smith. I will
sign, along with possibly two or three
others from out our way.

for him were never checked.
Mr. Whiteman is popular because
he has a smile that won't come off; is
a pretty fair looking chap, and he will
go as far out of his way as the post
master general will permit to do any
person a favor or s kindness.
And his friends got back at him by
giving him the above auto.
He is the oldest man in point of
service (mind we say point of ser
vice only) in the rural carrier depart
ment of the city.
The handsome auto present by his
friends broke Whiteman all up (so his
friends say) for a time, but the next
mornine that smile was a little
brighter atid is still working.
The car is a beauty, and no man
could use it to better advantage than
Frank on his daily 20-mile route.
A MUSICAL TREAT
Splendid Concert of Celebrated Mu
sicians Given Wednesday Night
Onp nf the .nnst successful aiid en
joyable concerts ever given in tiiis
city was that given in Oregon City
at the M. E. Church Wednesday even
ing of this week, under tlie auspices
of the Rithiah Class, when Mrs. Del-
phine Marx, of Portland, Miss Sadye
Ford and Mr. Oscar Lawrence Wood
fin, of this city and Miss Roxanna
Wommelsdorf, of Portland, appeared
on the programme before a large and
enthusiastic audience, which was com
noseH of manv of the music loving
people of this city. The interior of the
church was artistically decorated ana
spring blossoms. Members from the
Rilhiah Class acted as Ushers, these
being: Miss Nellie Swafford, Miss
Myrtle Cross, Miss Ada iiuluert, Jynss
Mable Morse, Miss Nettie Kruse, Miss
Molhe Rose, Miss Ivy i ord.
Mrs. Delphine Marx made her init
ial hnw before an Oreeon City audie
fP. and from the manner in whioh she
was received on this occasion there is
no doubt but the people of this city
will have the pleasure ot hearing ner
wonderful contralto voice at some fu
ture time. Her musical selections were
of a high order and well suited to her
voice. She is one of the prominent and
well known contralto soloists of Port
land. Mrs. Marx gracefully responded
to the many encores she received ana
was nresented with many beautiful
flowers. Among her numbers were:
"Amour, Viens Aiden" from Samson
et Delila: "The Waking of bpring,
"Day is Gone," and "the Uasp ot a
Hand."
Mr. Oscar Woodfin was warmly re
ceived upon his appearance, being one
of the favorite soloists 'of this city.
His harmonious baratone voice was
never heard to better advantage than
when he anneared on this evening, es-
neciallv in "From the Land
i ...
of the Sky Blue Water;" "itest
Thpe Sad Heart:" "You Sang to Me;"
"Banjo Song" and "The Sea Hath Its
Pearls." The latter is one ol his own
compositions and from this he dis
plays musical talent with a great fu
ture, not only as a vocalist but com
poser as well. His voice shows the
marked training he has been given,
and the young man s many irienas
were appreciative of his selections.
Miss Sadve Ford, a well known
nianist of this citv. and Mr. Woodfin,
rendered several piano duets, among
these being "Poet and 1'easant uver
ture," and "Virginia Dance." Every
number was encored.
Miss Wemmelsdorf. of Portland, an
accomplished young violinist of that
citv. irave several selections and was
heartily received. She was accompan
ied by Miss Flora Crego, ot Portland

Tn tho maiinr rtf iha phnrfffi
of
George Lazelle, that the county court
is witnoniding tne special roau iunu
of 1912, in Canemah precinct, refus
ing to spend the same upon the roads
or tnat pracinct, ana runner ioui iu
court has wilfully misspent such spe
cial money In the construction of 700
feet of roadway which cost ?suu.uu.
We find that the year 1912 a special
tnv tpvv R milla urnn mada in this
rend district and that at the meeting
where tne same was levied, it was
agreed that the special tax amounting
to about $2700.00 be divided into three
parts about $900.00 each to Canemah
road, South End road and Mcuora
road. We find that approximately
tvinn nf ti.u Qnn nn lms been ex

oeiongs to tne ivieijoru ruau. mi.
William Fine the" road supervisor of
this district as stated to the commit
tee and particularly to Mr. EDy uat
the court has In no way lnterferred
with him in the expenditure of this
special fund and that the money be
longing to the Canemah road has not
been spent for the reason that the
people of Canemah held It back to
use upon the road through Canemah,
whprp rlio trunk nf the P. R.. L. & P.
Co. is being removed, but that recent
ly Canemah people have oeen success

road will be repaired at the expensa
of the P. R., U. & r. Uo. ana me

stated that the people of the McCord
road did not desire tnat an ot meir
money should be evpended and want
Ql enmo nf it hclrt hank for repair
and this statement Is corroborated by
the statement of Mr. T. U. i nomas
livfta nf said district and is in
terested in said McCord road.
In regard to 790 feet of road cost
ing $800.00, this is approximately cor-
ropt nd la n fraf.tinn over $1.00 per
foot. This particular road Is located
to'.vards Oregon Ulty irom me reai

i ho linat rn.nrls in f'lackamaS County,
and taking into consideration the
kind of road and construction or same
in our opinion the cost of same is not

In regard to the charge made that
the court paid D. U. KoDuins z.ou a
l.arrol fnr potnpnt. When U. W. KnOll-
Inp-hnni nf Portland, had offered to
furnish the same material for $2.00
