companies were not living up to the
requirements in regard to tho height
of poles for wires, and the recorder
wus asked to look into the matter. Mr
Tooae also entered u special plea for
a permit to put a new roof upon the
frame building on Main ttlreet, recent
ly uanwged by fire; hut tho council
deridid to stand by the recently on
acted ordinance prohibiting frame
buildings within the fire limits, and
for the second timo tho request was
turned down. George A. Harding Is
tho owner of tho property.
Superintendent Griffin of the Ore
gon Bridge & Construction Company
brought on u mild storm when he
asked the council for a second cheque
on account ot me puunc eicvaior on
Seventh street. The matter was re
ferred to the elevator committee of
which Mr! Albrigh was chairman.
Unreasonable Delay Charged
Councilman Albright balked at
paying anv more i-uh to the contract
ors. He declared that the contract
called for completion of the elevator
tower within 120 days, said that the
time had expired, and added that nil
that hnd been done was to dump the
steel on the end of Seventh street "in
a careless and reckless manner not
fit for the handling of sawlogs.'
Mr. Griffin admitted that there had
been some delay but said it was due
to an injunction. As to the dumping
of the steel on Seventh street, he said
it was due to he fact tha he had em
ployed Oregon City men to do the
work. City Engineer Noble laughed
at the injunction as an excuse for the
delay, said no injunction had been ls
nH asked Mr. Griffin when he
could start work. The construction
man said he could start at once if he
wouldn't bo stopped.
Councilmen assurred Mr. Griffin
that he wouldn't be stopped, that he
never had been threateud with being
stopped, and that he hnd better go
ahead at once. City Attorney Schue
hel volunteered tho informaion that
tho suit asking an injunction would
be heard this week, and that the in
junction was sought against tho use
of the bond issue and was not direct
ed to the elevator builder.
Griffin camo back with the state
ment that the warrans probably could
no be disposed of anyway until the
case was settled, and the matter was
lef in abeyance.
Water Plans Broached.
The second "scrap" of the evening
followed the introduction of a motion
by Councilman Metzner for an ordi
nance appropriating $300 from the
general fund to pay for the services
of D. C. Henny as an expert on the
proposed pipe-line from the South
Fork of the Clackamas. Mr. Metzner
included in his motion the desire to
have this $300 repaid to the general
fund from tho bond issue, if it was
voted by the people.
"If this council appropriates that
money it might as well say good-bye
to tho $:100," said Councilman Temple
ton. "This matter has not been
brought officially before the council
by the Mountain Water League, and
w'e should wait. When they present it
I believe we should namo a committee
consisting of the water board and the
leading business men, and let them
look over the plan, and then, if they
approve it, engage Mr. Henny to
make a survey of the matter."
Mr. Metzner said the council had
last year spent from $1200 to $1400
looking for pure water, and now that
pure water had been found, saw no
reason why it should balk at $1100 to
have an expert review the schem.
Appropriation is Favored
Pr. Morris, of the Mountain Water
League, Mr. Stipp and others, argu-
i ed earnestly for the proposed appro
1 priation, pointing out how it would
I cxpidate matters ar.d would be an
aid and advantage in selling bonds
i for the work. Councilman Albright
' joined in the discussion, and said that
tho search for pure water ought to be
aided as much as possible especially
since citizens had, through the Moun
tain Water League, contributed ap
proximately a thousand dollars for
the first survey.
"Our present water may be al
right," ho said, "and it may be fil
tered, but when we know that there
are dead dogs and other filth in the
river, it isn't nice. We have already
spent a thousand dollars at a clip to
put a man on a mule with a pack
saddle and send him over the hills
back here looking for pure water,
and the other day we spent $250 for
a new boiler in the library when a
small boy blew the old one up with
firecrackers; so now, when citizens
have gone down in their pockets a
thousand dollars, we shouldn't shy at
$300 more."
Councilman Long also voiced ap
proval of the proposed ordinance, and
it was ordered drawn for considera
tion at the next council meeting,
Councilman Templeton alone oppos
ing the plan when the vote was tak
en. Franchises Taken Up
Franchises of the Clackamas
Southern and Carver roads were then
taken up, following their vote by the
mayor at the final council meeting
of last year. Both franchises were
changed so as to provide satisfactory
transfer privileges, and the new ver
sions were so worded as to provide
but a total of two tracks on both Fif
teenth and Water streets. Under the
new provisions the Clackamas South
ern will build a double-track road
within six months on Water street
between Twelfth and Fourteenth, and
the Carver road will be given common
user rights thereon. The Carver fran
chise calls for double tracks on Water
street from Twelfth to Third streets
and for single track on Fifteenth
street, and on Water from Fifteenth
to Fourteenth, the other track for
those strees having already been
granted the Clackamas Southern.
In this form the franchises were
passed through first reading, and the
Carver road was given 90 days in
which to accept the terms set down
by the city. .
Street Work Pledged
Councilman Albright, just at the
close of the session, moved that bids
for the improvement of John Adams
street be advertised.
Councilman Meyer wanted to Know
"Our surveys, as originally made, '
said he, "have in view taking the line
through Molalla. However we find a
disposition on the part of some prop
erty owners to fieht us, and the
Clackamas Southern will not fight.
if it would not be better to find out , While we desire to have Molalla upon
first from the abutting property jour main line, we will not be forced
owners what kind of an improvement
desired. Mr. Albright said he
thought his motion would hurry them
up considerably.
Councilman Templeton said he was
a resident of John Adams street, and
that he believed that hard surfacing
was desired, and that several of the
residents on the street had told him
that was what they wanted. On his
promisa to get the matter acted upon
by the property owners and brought
before the council, Councilman Al
bright withdrew his motion for two
weeks. This matter has been hang
ing fire for months.
To provide for a presiding officer
in the absence of the mayor, the coun
cil elected Councilman Meyer, presi
dent of the body. With other matters
to pay any exhorbitant - price ior
trackage rights, and if we cannot get
ojr right-of-way at reasonable fig
ures, we will" adopt an alternative
route. The only trouble in the Molalla
district, however, lies with one or two
hud-owners, and I believe that soon
er than see the city lose the road they
will withdraw from their prmmt
st-ind however, if they do not, the
CLickamas Southern will find another
route."
People of Molalla, who have heard
of the possible change in the route
of the Clacknmas Southern, are much
disturbed by the situation. Not only
do they earnestly desire the road as
a means of direct and quick commun
ication with Oregon City; but it i3

Stole Tools, Tried to Burn House
The residence of B. T. McBain, at
Gladstone, nearly completed, was
broken into Monday night, and about
$60 worth of carpenter's tools were
taken, and then a fire was kindled
on the floor with the evident intent
to burn the house. The shavings and
kindlings burned and the fire went
out
County Attorney Hedges states in
the same connection that there are
conditions in this city that need a
thorough digging into and cleanig up
and that he proposes they shall be
cleaned up.

Whether or not the Clackamas

erty owners who at present are show
ing an inclination to "hold up" the
line for right-of-way, according to
Manager F. M. Swift, in charge of
construction of the road. Reports in
Molalla recently have been to the ef
fect that the railroad would change
its route, and pass around that center
and as a result residents of the up

wrought up.
When asked about the rumor that
the Clackamas Southern might "pass

Efforts will be made, both by
road officials and by Molalla people,
to settle difficulties over the right-of-way,
so that the line may follow the
original survey.
Candidate for Constable
Editor Courier:
I wish through your paper to an
nounce to the people of this county
that Iwill be a candidate for con
stable on the Republican ticket, sub
ject to the action of he primaries.
If nominated and elected I will
stand for law, order and temperance
and I will do something more than
stand for these I will enforce them
vigorously.
I would be grateful for the support
it was entirely a matter of securing of voters who can endorse this stand.

School Census Gain of 265
A rather remarkable showing of
school growth, which is incidentally
a thermometer of city growth, is a
comparison of the 1913 and 1914
school census, which shows a gain of
265 in one year 1669 in 1913 and
1934 in 1914.
Rumor Was Wrong
Editor Courier:
Last week's Courier stated on au
thority of political rumor that I
might be a candidate for sheriff. The
rumor had me in the wrong class. I
am not and will not be a candidate
for sheriff, but will be a candidate at
the spring primaries for constable,
which office I am now holding for my
first term. Will you kindly make this
correction and oblige

While on Way to Church
Mabel Hagen, 19 years old, and
Miss Alma Summerfield, 18, were in
stantly killed on the Southern Pacific
