FINE BUSINESS
JUDGMENT, THIS
OREGON CITY COUNCIL LIKES
PAVEMENT AT $1.60 PER
YARD FOR MAIN ST.
PORTLAND BIO QUARTER LESS
Identical Material Offered Metropolis
For $1.20 and $1.12 Per Yard
When Bids Are Asked
The Courier has remarked before
and it now remarks again that Ore
gon City has a peculiar way of trans
actng its public business. This pa
per has said that the city needed a
municipal manager, and that if any
private enterprise was run the way
the county seat of Clackamas was run
it would be bankrupt inside of a year.
And we still have that opinion.
Last week the city council con
sidered the matter of repaving Main
street Various bids were submitted
tentatively, and they ranged from one
dollar a yard up to more than double
that amount. The special committee
appointed to investigate the matter
reported in favor of bitulithic pave
ment, at $1.69 a yard, but the council
by a vote of five to three finally de
cided that a variety of patented as
phaltic concrete offered by the Mon-tague-Reilly
people at $1.60 a yard
was better.
The city engineer and the city
attorney are now engaged in work
ing up specifications for this asphal
tic concrete pavement, and will
shortly ask for final bids on a street
covering of this variety. And the
chances are that the final bid will be
pretty close to $1.60 a yard, for the
council seeme'd to like that and to
think it reasonable.
Maybe it is. But it is a matter of
history that the same kind of pave
ment, answering the same specifi
cations, has been offered to Portland
for $1.20.
The difference between that price
and the tentative price that was offer
ed Oregon City is just forty cents a
yard and in the paving of Main
street this forty cents would make a
total difference in the contract of
about $4,000.
Maybe asphaltic concrete is worth
forty cents more in Oregon City than
it is anywhere else, or than it is in
Portland, only a dozen or som iles
away. Perhaps hauling the material
out here would make the difference
in' cost. If so, any wise business man
would probably discard that bid and
seek a cheaper one.
But did you notice that any of the
councilmen who "investigated" pav
ing in Portland said anything about
asphaltic concrete being, bid in Port
land forty cents or more cheaper
than it was offered Oregon City ? You
bet you didn't All that some of the
councilmen said about asphaltic con
crete was that it was not as good as
bitulithic; and the balance of the
councilmen said it was better than
bitulithic. Nobody peeped a word
about former prices of this product.
Along with these remarks the
Courier presents some figures which
we have a sworn affidavit to in our
safe, that should convince any busi
ness man or any taxpayer that the
pavement offered Oregon City at
$1.60 was offered Portland for con
siderably less. And as it is the tax
payers who will have to pay the ex
tra forty cents a yard or whatever
the figures are in the final bidding
maybe it is a matter of some interest
to the taxpayers.
Also maybe soma of the taxpayers
will wonder what the council was do
ing when it was "investigating" pav
ing. It would seem at a casual
glance that the councilmen might
have investigated prices, aa well as
other peculiarities of paving; but it
appears from the action that was
taken that they didn't.
And that is why the Courier still
persists in remarking that the public
affairs of the county seat are not
conducted in a businesslike manner,
and that this town needs a business
manager worse than it needs any
thing else. Can you imagine a busi
ness man buying nails, for instance,
without inquiring the prevailing
prices on, nails at other points ? Can
you imagine a businessman buying
carpet without inquiring what the
general prices of carpets are as com
pared with the prices that re offer
ed him?
Probably if some of the paving
companies had put in a bid of 5 dol
lars a yard the honorable council
men would have been for it just as
strong as they were for the forty
cent increase bid. And probably
they would have thought they were
"doing the right thing for the city,"
too.
Two inches of asphaltic concrete
on a four-inch concrete base was what
was offered Oregon City for $1.60
a yard. Read what follows, and see
what you think about it
Within the last year bids have
been submitted for asphalt concrete

J. COOKE
IS POST
LIFELONG DEMOCRAT GETS A
MUCH SOUGHT GOVERN
MENT OFFICE
APPOINTMENT BIG SURPRISE
In Spite of Active Campaign for Berth
By Others, AH Lose Out by
Cooke's Appointment
John J. Cooke
John J. Cooke, a man born and
raised in Clackamas county, and a
staunch democrat all his life, has been
given the most coveted Federal office
in the county postmaster at Oregon
City. News of the appointment came
this week, and formal notification
from the capitol will be sent later.
Mr. Cooke's appointment is made by
President Wilson, and while it is a
"recess appointment," there is no
doubt that the choice will be con
firmed by the senate when Congress
reconvenes and that Mr. Cooke will
hold the position until after there is
a change of administrations at Wash
ington. Mr. Cooke made practically no ef
fort to get the office, and his selec
tion over the several active candidates
who were in the field is a great
tribute to his sterling personal worth
and to the regard in which he is held
The npwly appori.v.ii pcslmaster
who will succeed T. P. Randall, was
born in the Damascus country in 1859
and has resided in the county seat for
the past 26 years. He has been at
different times in the livery, black
smith and hardware business, and at
one time was sheriff of the county.
Throughout all the time that he has
been in the county, Mr. Cooke has
been active in democratic politics, and
has been taken into consultation by
party leaders,
Mr. Randall, the retiring post
master, has been in - office for the
past, twelve years, and during that
time has seen a wonderful growth in
the volume of business. When Mr.
Randall was first appointed there
were three clerks in the office and
neither rural- nor city carriers. Now
the office has seven rural routes,
five carters and five clerks, besides
the assistant postmaster. The post
office moved its location twice during
the 12 years, the last time into the
permanent location of Main street,
between Eighth and Ninth.
DANCE IS ENJOYED
Local Moose Go to Schuebel and
Everyone Has Enjoyable Time
Members of the local lodge of
Moose accompanied the Moose band
to Schuebel last Saturday and took
part in the dance given there for the
musicians. There were many couples
in attendance, and a general good
time was enjoyed by all.
Residents of Schuebel were par
ticularly pleased with the nice class
of people who turned out for the
dance, and commented most favorab
ly upon the good behaviour of the
crowd. There was no rowdyism or
"rough stuff" in evidence, and the
dance was one of the quietest affairs
held in the district for some time. .
Wrho Did It?
We notice thct in announcing the
transfer of the Oregon City locks to
the United States, the Oregon Daily
Journal claims all the credit. Brother
Jackson's paper modestly says that
it started the agitation for the trans
fer and that it fought the batle
through many years until the great
thing was brought; about. From
what we had heard periodically from
other quarters, we thought that Con
gressman Hawley had done all the
work. Hawley was always telling
us about the "progress" he was mak
ing with it, anyway.
Correspondents
Let us know when you are out of
paper and envelopes and we will send
you a new supply.

30 AXE MURDERS
I BE
ARREST OF NEGRO IN MISSOURI
SETS POLICE BUSY ALL
OVER NATION
GRIMES ARE EXACTLY SIMILAR
Fine Chance Offered Clackamas Au
thorities To Get Rid of Arden
wald Mystery
in St. Louis last Sunday the police
arrested Loving Mitchell, a negro,
who is charged w.th having slain
William E. Dawson, his wife and
daughter, in Monmouth ,111., in Sep
tember, 1911.
The Dawson family was killed
with an axe, and the bodies of the
slain family were mistreated in a
manner which cannot be described.
Following the arrest of Mitchell,
police authorities in St. Louis are
making inquiries in regard to over
30 exactly similar murders that have
been committed within the last four
or five years in states scattered all
over the union frora the Mississippi
valley td the Pacific Coast.
These murders were identical to
the last detail. In every instance
the crimes were committed at night
while the victims lay asleep in their
beds, and all come to their death
through blows delivered by an axe
usually the axe used by members of
the family insplitting kindling wood.
Communities in Missouri, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Oregon and
Washington have been terrorized
since the first of these crimes were
committed, and the police believe that
there may be a conection between
the murders. It is for this reason
that all the evidence obtainable in
regard to each of the villainous deeds
is sought by the St. Louis police.
Some of the more Btrkiingly char
acteristics of these murders were as
follows:
H. C. Wayne, wife and child, and
Mrs. A. J. Burnham and two children,
Colorado Springs, Colo.; September
1911.
William E. Dawson, wife and
daughter, Monmouth, 111., September,
1911.
William Sowman, wife and three
children, Ellsworth, Kans., October,
1911.
Rollin Hudson and wife, Paola,
Wans., June 1912.
J. B. Moore, four children and two
girl guests, Villisca, Iowa, June 1912.
Mrs. Mary J. Wilson and Mrs.
George Moore, Columbia, Mo., De
cember, 1912.
Jacob Neslesla, his their
daughter and the latter's infant, Blue
Island, Ills., July 1914.
Mrs. B. F. Matthews, 80 years old,
Hartsburg, Mo., October 1914.
Everyone of these murders was
commited with an axe while the fam
ily was asleep, and in each case
shocking liberties were taken with
the bodies of the victims by the mur
derer. Besides these cases, similar
crimes have been committed during
the period covered in the Pacific
Coast states of Oregon and Wash
ington. One of these crimes occurred in
Clackamas county, when the Hill
family at Ardenwald was slaughter
ed during the night. Another and
similar crime occurred within a few
weeks in Southwestern Washington.
No solution has ever been found for
any of these murders.
It is humbly suggested by the
Courier that if the Clackamas county
authorities can't fix the murder of
the Hills on anybody in particular
that they send the records of the Hill
murders to St Louis, and give the
police of that city opportunity to join
the local mystery with the others that
have occurred in just exactly the
same way.
This might not satisfy justice, but
it would make it unnecessary to
longer explain why the Ardenwald
murderer i snot brought to justice.
MAY BE NO CHAMPION
Superintendent Calavan Not Anxious
To Find Who is Best Speller
In speaking of the proposed spell
ing bee to be participated in by the
winners of the district bees, County
School Superintendent Calavan this
week said that perhaps the best
speller in the county would never be
known.
"We have accomplished our pur
pose already in holding the bees,"
said Mr. Calavan. "and the interest
has been greatly stimulated. I don't
know that it would be wise, even, to
take time from the school work for
a county-wide bee in which the dis
trict winners only would compete."
Many of the students are anxious
to have such a spelling bee, however,
and in this they are backed by the
teachers in many of the schools. Mr.
Calavan has finally decided to leave
it up to the teachers, and if they
think the championship bee is worth
while, it will be held.
And if the teachers turn the plan
down, we may never know who is the
best speller in the county.
S
MAIN STREET PAVEMENT .
Facts Regarding Bid of Montague-
O'Reilly Co's Bid
It is stated in the morning paper
that in comparison with the price of
$1,60 pers quare yard quoted by the
Montague-O'Reilly Co., the same
company laid a better pavement in
Portland for $1.20 per square yard.
The only pavements of asphaltic con
crete the Montague-O'Reilly company
have laid for the City of Portland
were those laid last year, in the con
tracts for the improvement of East
Sixth St., and a large district in the
Centra East Side, known as the East
Salmon Street district.
Part of these improvements were
for re-dressing the old macadam
streets, where the old macadam was
used for the foundation, much as
would be done on Main St, Oregon
City, if the old brick were to be left
in place and surfaced with two inches
of mixture. A proper comparison
would therefore be between the price
of $1.00 per square yard bid on Main
Street and $1.20 bid in Portland for
East Skth Street, and $1.04 per
sqare yard bid for the East Salmon
street district.
The East Salmon Street district
was approximately eight times as
large as the contract for Main street,
and yet the Main street job has been
bid at less for re-surfacing the
brick.
The price of $1.60 per square yard,
which the Council has seen fit to
accept, includes a four inch concrete
base, and a two inch wearing sur
face and in addition includes the cost
of removing the old brick and exca
vating to the necessary depth to per
mit the laying of six inches of pave
ment. In most other cities the ex
cavation is bid on as separate item
and materially increases the total cost
o fthe pavement. As to the price of
the McMinnville pavement, the price
bid was based on a contract six or
seven times as large as the one un
der consideration in Oregon City, and
there the excavation was figured as
a separate item, which in addition to
the price for the pavement, makes
the price at Oregon City at $1.60, less
than the price received at McMinn
ville. Montague-O'Reilly Co.
' HERE IS SOME MAN
. -( ,
Chief of Police in County Seat Shows
Various Powers in Office
Ed Shaw is some man. Ed is
chief of police at the county seat, and
during the day he makes his beat
up and down Main street.
Within 24 hours this week he kept
the suspension bridge from burning
up and broke a man's jaw. He is
sure some cop.
When some mollycoddle dropped a
cigarette on the bridge and the dusty
planking caught fire, people who saw
the blaze sent for Ed Shaw, chief of
police. Ed ran up with a pitcher of
water and put the fire out.
And when three girls escaped, with
a man, from the industrial school for
girls at Salem, they told Ed Shaw
about it. Ed went out on the street
and waited for the party to arrive
and when they hove near he shot out
his trusty right, stopped the auto
and broke the jaw of the man accom
panying the runaways, i
Then he arrested him.
Ed Shaw is sure some man, and
some chief of police.

OIL-BOUND MACADAM WILL NOT

YEAR ON MAIN ROADS
BUILD EAGLE CREEK BRIDGE
County Commissioners Outline Plan
For Improvement of Chief
Routes of Travel
After much discussion of the var
ious problems in connection with the
work, the members of the county
court last week determined to go to
only moderate expeense in roadwork
this year on any one system of high
ways, and in this manner try to get
in considerable amount of improve
ment work in every section of the
county. Every effort will be made to
do as much for eastern Clackamas as
for the valley portion, and no one
district will be given a preference.
The rock-crushing plant at Barton
will be overhauled and kept busy,
and the material turned out there will
be used in the work of bettering
roads in that part of the county. To
care for rock work in the valley por
tion, the riverside plant at New Era
will be used, and roads in the west
ern part of the county will be coated
with river gravel.
The Pacific Highway, so called,
which is the main valley road run
ning south from Oregon City through
New Era, Canby, and Barlow, will be
given a good covering of crushed or
broken river gravel for the entire 12
miles of its length . The plant at
New Era will be able to turn out all
the gravel that is needed, and motor
trucks will haul it along the road.
While the county commissioners
have been asked to add to the mile
age of oil-bound macadam roads, they
feel that such action would be unwise,
and no road of this nature will be put
down this year. Economy is the
watchword, and it is believed that
the river gravel will answer all de
mands in the valley, 1 while in the
eastern part' of the county crushed
rock will be used as heretofore.
The county will also erect a new
and modern steel span over Eagle
Creek as soon as the best location is
selected. Some other bridgework
will also be done, but the Eagle Creek
span will be the largest
County Judge Anderson, in the
course of discussion of road matters,
referred to the now-famous letter of
the state highway engineer in which
Mr. Bowlby said that the valley roads
were not as good as those in central
Oregon. While admitting that the val
ley roads in Clackamas county were
pretty "deep" in winter time, Judge
Anderson thought that Clackamas
county at least could provide fair
auto highways in summer time; and
suggested that if Mr. Bowlby found
the roads so very bad he ought to
send down some of his experts and
have them superintend the work and
get better roads.
HITS WOMAN; IS JAILED
Man Out of Work Has Fuss With
Husband and Wife, Now in Jail
Clifford Milligan, 20 years old and
out of work, didn't like some of the
remarks Mrs. Smith ,of Fourteenth
and John Adams street, made to him,
so he hit her a couple of times and
then choked her. Mrs. Smith's hus
band didn't like the way Milligan was
treating his wife, so he grabbed a
knife and started to mix in the ar
gument Milligan dropped Mrs.
Smith, picked up a board and split it
on Smith's arm and then Chief Ed
Shaw, of the police force turned up,
and there was peace in the county
seat once more.
Later on Milligan tried to explain
to City Recorder Loder, by saying
that he really didn't think Mrs. Smith
ought to have addressed him the way
she did. Mr. Loder appeared to think
Mrs. Smith was justified, for he fin
ed Milligan $25 and gave him fifty
days in jail to think it over.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
OF THOMAS H. HUBBARD
TIES UP BIG PROPERTY
$150,000 AWAITING DIVISION
Man Last Heard of in Clackamas
Couty is Sought by Widowed
Mother at Big Fair
Anybody who knows the where
abouts of Thomas Henry Hubbard,
formerly well known throughout the
Willamette valley, and a man of wide
acquaintance in Clackamas county
and Oregon City, will do his aged
mother a favor, if information of the
young man's whereabouts "be sent to
her at Salem. His mother's name is
Mrs. F. E. Hubbard, and in her an
xiety over her son's whereabouts she
has notified the police of all coast
cities and enlisted their aid in her
search.
. Thinking that the young man may
have gone to the Panama-Pacific fair
at San Francisco, Mrs. Hubbard is
at present in the city of the Golden
Gate, but if her search there proves
unavailing, she will erturn to her
home in Salem and rely upon the po
lice and her many friends to locate
her missing boy.
The disappearanc of Mr. Hubbard,
who is now about 35 years old, is one
of the mysteries of the Willamette
valley. The man was last seen in
Clackamas county, and just at pres
ent there is more than usual need of
his returning home, for an setate of
some $150,000 is awaiting settlement,
and matters would be greatly expe
dited if he were on hand to assist
his brother, B. F. Hubbard, with the
legal details.
Mr. Hubbard was last heard from
in the neighborhood of Canby, in
1908, when he sent his mother a
money order for $200. Just previous
to that the young man had been re
leased from a sanitarium, where, he
had been sent on .account of failing
health ; and it is believed that he
thought some of his relatives were
trying to get him confined again, and
so disappeared.
In 1907 Mr. Hubbard, who with
his brother was interested in the hop
industry, experienced financial wor
ries, and it was through this bit of
misfortune that his health broke down
and his brief sojourn in. a sanitarium
followed. Hubbard had no bad habits
and no enemies, and his mother can
think of no reason for his disappear
ance except his mistaken belief that
a further effort vMild be made to
send him back o the sanitarium.
Young Hubbard was a member of
the Elk's lodge, and was popular
with a large circle of friends. At
the time of his disappearance he
weighted about 140 pounds, was of
medium build and height, and had
brown hair and no moustache or
beard. A year or so ago he was seen
in Portland by some former acquain
tances, but by the time his family
was communicated with he had again
been lost track of.
A pathetic feature of the man's
disappearance is concerned with the
$200 that he sent hia mother. On the
way to his home from the sanitar
ium Mrs. Hubbard gave him a roll
of bills amounting to $200, thinking
that the possession of this money
would cheer him up and give him
thoughts of re-entering business. He
thanked her for it at the time and
thrust it in his pocket A day or so
later Mrs. Hubbard received this
money back in a money order, and
the thought that her son thus re
turned her gift has grieved her al
most as much as his disappearance.
BETTER PAY UP
April 1st Last Day When Half of Tax
' es Can Be Paid To Dodge Interest
County Treasurer Dunn and Tax
Collector Harrington say that there
appear to be several people in Clack
amas county who don't want to pay
half their taxes so as to avoid yield
ing to the county interest on a slid
ing scale. Taxes which are not paid
April first will have a one percent
interest charges added, and if still un
paid May first the interest charge
will be two percent, and so on, in
creasing each month.
To date about $250,000 has been
collected in taxes or about $150,000
less than half. Treasurer Dunn ex
pects that quite a good deal of the un
paid taxes will come in before the
penalty season starts, but there will
have to be a rush at the treasurer's
office if very much of it is t be paid
over the counter
Among thoBe who haven't paid, so
far. are quite a number f the big
corporations. They usually hang on
to their money until the last minute,
letting it draw int3rest for thorn in
stead of for the county. And some
times the big corporations hang on to
it longer than up to the last minute.
and the county has to fight to get it
at all.
Suggestions as to the betterment of
the Courier are always welcomed.
