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

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 Men Discovered Without the

According to history there

when property was so secure that
man could hang purse and jewelry on

citizens of Clackamas Count, Oregon,
to set a still higher standard of hon

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

when the owner recovered it through
the agency of Chief of Police Shaw

City Library Has Burglar
' Anyone who would steal from poor

are such persons at large in Oregon,
nevertheless.
Some time last Friday night a sneak
thief broke into the library building

$7.25 in small change.
No trace of the scoundrel has been
found, but it is to be hoped he will

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

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

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

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.
