COUNCIL MEETING Division Street has been in a de plorable condition for years. The street itself has been a succession of mud holes and impassable ruts into which, during the raint season, a few wagon loads of gravel have been dumped with little or no effect. The walks there have been continually in disrepair with loose boards or holes ealore. At the council meeting Wednesday evening a report of the committee who have been estimating costs and appraising property looking to the repair of this street was read. The committee recommended that a 24 foot improvement be placed on the street with wooden walks- and 2 foot parking, at a public cost to the city of S4.41U.UU. Mr. Schultz, a property owner on Division St., entered a protest against the proposed wooden walk, stating that if he had to pay the proposed 50 per cent assessment he would demand a first class cement walk. - "I don't think the property owners on Division Street are being fairly treated, said Mr. Schultz. By a vote of 3 to 4 the ordinance lost. The proposal to repair 4Iain Street however, was the real bone of con tention. A report of the Committee composed of three councilmen and three Main St. property owners, was read. The recommendations of the committee was as follows: That the council call for bids to take up the present brick, to properly prepare the sub grade and to relay the brick flatways and re dress them with not less than two inches of bitu lithic. W. A. Dimick, representing T. Charman and other Main St. proper ty owners, offered objections to the acceptance of this report on the grounds that the term "bitulithic" ex- eluded competitive bids and gave a monopoly to the Bitulithic people. Dimick urged that the council post pone action in the matter so as to give more time to investigate and at a critical part of his speech exhibit ed a piece of tar colored material which he claimed, was a piece of bit ulithic pavement plowed up from the streets ot a Portland addition. This resulted in a lively tilt be tween Dimick and the representative of the Warren Construction Co. The representatives of the Inde pendent Paving company asked that their product, asphalt-concrete, be accepted for the work at $1.25 square yard. The Warren Construction company offers to remove all bricks from the street, bring the street to subgrade replace the bricks on their sides, and then lav a layer of two inch compres sed bitulithic. The price of the work is $1.55. The Independent company offers to remove all bricks, bring the street to within two inches of the finished street with rolled crushed rock and place a two inch coat of asphalt-concrete for $1.25, The joint council and property owners' committee who investigated the merits of the various pavements were : H. Sevens, Charles H. Caufield Wm. Andresen, Main Street Property Owners. 11. M. Templeton, E. D. Van- Auken, F. J. Meyer, Members of City Council. A Spotted Outlaw A few days ago a couple of very bad cowboys rode into town and pro ceeded to dispose of some stolen cat tle. One of the men rode a white horse which had been spotted up in a very artistic manner with black paint. Later the outlaws were appre hended bv certain officers from f neighboring state, with the assistance of the local sheriff, Mr. Mass. But the spotted horse remained in Oregon City, and Wednesday was seen hitched to the delivery cart of the iarr liros. market. The old range horse was not used to this kind of work, and probably thought it a new sort of wild west performance. ' He immediately de cided to make the show worth the price of admission and accordingly started at a tearing pace down Sev enth street, kicking, bucking and go ing through all the gyrations of the prolessional "outlaw. At the corner of John Adams and 7th streets the meat craft upset and discharged its cargo upon the ce ment walk before the W. A. Huntlev residence, the spotted- horse being stopped by the iron picket fence. Not much damage was done. ALFRED MAKQUAD Some time ago the newspapers published news of the suicide of a book he had forgotten. He went for his teacher to return home and get a bok he had forgotcn. He went for the book but did not return to school. Insteud he secured a revolver and shot himself. This week we are sorry to record the death ot another boy in somewhat similar mnner. Alfred Marquad, a youth of 17 years living with his father, G. Mar- quad, two sisters and a brother, in the Clarkes district committed suicide last lhursday evening June 25th, by firing a bullet from his father's re volver through his head. About 5 o'clock the boy had been sent for the mail. He did not return and an in vestigation disclosed the fact that he had taken his own life, the body be ing lound under a large tree near the read. At the inquest held later the sam evening by Coroner Wilson no direct cause for tho deplorable tragedy was discovered, but it .may be surmised that some sort of trouble preyed up on the boy's mind until he had come to regard life as no longer endurable. Many young persons of from 12 to 20 years of age are abnormally sen sitive nnd impressionable. It is a time of life when the emotions are much stronger than reason, and when apparently trifling causes may lead to regretahle consequences. Alfred Marquad was a remarkably intelligent boy and his untimely death is cause for much sincere regret. Automobilis Dementis Last Sunday a Portland young man who gives the name of J. 3. Kelhiher decided to have a joy ride. As he did not possess an automobile of his own he simply put forth his hand and took the fine car belonging to Dr. J. J. Loomis, also of Portland. Then Kellaher invited five of his young' friends to go along and see the sights. The sextette, however, made the grievous mistake of turnine the bow of their craft toward Oregon City where the sleuths are ever watchful and waiting. Kellaher and three of his associates were prompt ly arretted and landed in the city bastile. Two of the party escaped, j HONEST OREGON Honest Men Discovered Without the Aid of Diogenes' Lantern According to history there once a time in England (you under stand this is a very ancient record) when property was so secure that man could hang purse and jewelry on the old apple tree in his front yard and sleep comfortably with full as surance that no one would touch or take them. It has remained for the citizens of Clackamas Count, Oregon, to set a still higher standard of hon esty. Early lasf week some one borrow ed the fine automobile belonging to E M. Kasmussen of Portland, and, af ter driving it out into the Redland district, left it standing beside the road, unprotected and alone. For several days the car stood there, during the height of the Auto mobile Season, when so many of the hearts of our people are being con sumed with the fever of desire to po sess a real "red devil" of their own and no one took even so much as nibble af the tempting bait not tire, not a wrench, screw-driver or on can was missing no one had at tempted to appropriate the car when the owner recovered it through the agency of Chief of Police Shaw and John Cassedey, who reported the abandoned treasure. This is not only a compliment to the integrity of our Uackamas County folk but a recom mendation which should be heralded the full length and breadth of he U, o.. (Newspapers please copy.)

The rooms were beautiful with their decorations of sweetbriar, ferns and marguer ites, noticeably among the decora tions were the large quantities of greenery, giving the rooms an invit ing appearance, as the afternoon was unusually warm. Indian baskets were used in the parlors, and these miea witn marguerites were inter mingled with the sweet briar. The reception hall and dining room were also very attractive. After severa hours, had been de voted the playing of auction bridge, when Mrs. M. D. Latourette was the winner of the club prize, and Mrs. Charles D.

PARK City Library Has Burglar ' Anyone who would steal from poor old Andy Carnegie or his public li brary is too mean to live outside of the penitentiary or Mexico: but ther are such persons at large in Oregon, nevertheless. Some time last Friday night a sneak thief broke into the library building Dv prying up a window and appr opriated $105.00 in typewriter and $7.25 in small change. No trace of the scoundrel has been found, but it is to be hoped he will be brought to account. A stranger loafing in the vicinity of the library is under suspicion. He is described as a middle aged man large and heavily built and wearing a dark suit of clothes. DR. WITHYCOMBE ANSWERS U'REN (Continude from Page 1) upon the liquor question by far the most vital issue before the people this year? CAN a Man SERVE TWO MASTERS? The Oregonian: If prohibition shall carry, Governor Withycombe will en force the law. No one has a right to demand that Mr. Withycombe say more; no one who knows him would expect him as Governor to do less. What magnificent logic! "Governor Withycombe will enforce the law." Governor anybody else will enforce the law. The question is WHAT SHALL THAT LAW BE which to' be enforced? If prohibition loses will Dr. Withycombe indulge the li quor interests to the limit of the law? is there a tacit understanding between Dr. Withycombe and the brewing interests?" "No one has a right to demand more. Dr. Withycombe it you say WU MUKti you are a goner, Says the wise Oregonian of many counsels: But Mr. Withycombe now na turally desires to know why Mr. U'.Ren directed his letter to him, and not to Dr. Smith, the Democratic candidate, or Mr. Gill, the Progressive candi date? That you SHALL know Dr. Withy combe and also you, Oregonian: Mr, U Ken, and also Mr. .GUI at least, stand upon an honest platform m which there is no hidden plank, while Dr. Withycombs lurks behind the brewery bush to spring upon the pro hibition call. The Oregonian says again: " ' The U'Ren letter was, of course, an adroit attempt to play a political trick on Mr. Withycombe. It failed. Yes, it failed (?) (?) - MR. GILL SPEAKS AT M. E.

Will Repeat Electric Parade The famous Electric Parade of the Rose Festival of Portland is to be re produced under the auspices of the Portland Ad Club on the night of July 4th, in the City of Portland. So many people did not see the parade during the Rose Festival that this led to a general expression to have it re produced. The Portland Ad Club took the matter up and has succeeded in making the arrangements for stag ing this wonder and marvelous ex hibition. The entire twenty-one floats will be reproduced. Queen Thelma and her maids, the thousand red men and bands galore will all be part and parcel ot the affair. A gen eral invitation has been extended to everyone not only in Portland but in outlying districts to come to Portland and vitness this thrilling affair. Taxes or No Taxes According to stories current about town there are timber tracts and logged off lands in this county, ag gregating approximately $1,150,000 in value, which are without owner ship; the title being in dispute be tween the Oregon & California Rail way Co. and the federal government. The point of interest is that if the government wins the suit it recovers the land, and we shall lose the faxes; if the railroad company wins, we shall lose the land, but get the taxes. County Assessor Jack has been ad vised by the Oregon Tax Commission to see what can be done about col lecting taxes on the property while the bone of contention is being enaw- ed in the courts. Young People's Union Social ' The Young People's Societies of four local churches and also those of the churches at Gladstone and Park place will meet at the Congregational Church in Oregon City at 8 o'clock P.
