OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1915.
REPUBLICANS HARD UP
Efforts to Get a Presidential Nominee
Seem to be Too Much for Brains
The frantic struggles of the re-
publican party leaders to pick some lengthy letter to the Courier in re
man for presidential nominee in lyiti , card to the use of river rock and
who mignt have even the ghost of a
show against .Presidential Wilson,s or
any of half a dozen big democrats,
are really getting painlul to benold.
Elsewhere in tnis paper are to be
found a few remarKs anent the fu
tile scneme of springing Whitman
and bourne. .But neie we are laugn-
ing at another political fit.
The Uregonian, staid and inspir
ed organ of Dig business republicans,
blooms forth Tuesday morning of
this ween with somewhat over a
column of editorial circumlocution,
the general effect of which is that if
hugnes can't be persuaded to run as
the official republican goat, Koose
velt would be better tnan nobody.
The Courier some months ago toid
its readers that the republicans were
getting ready to 'let Teddy come
back," and now the faithful Oregon,
ian swallows its erstwhile remarks
about the San Juan hill, and says:
Col. Roosevoldt is becoming
reconciled with his former party
associates and is credited with state
ments indicating his inclination to
return to the lold. He believes the
defeat of President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan necessary to save the
interests of the country from com
plications in which those gentlemen
have involved it."
That is a lovely paragraph. "Roose
velt is reconciled with his former as
sociates and believs the defeat of
Wilson and Bryan necessary to save
the interests." Do you get that?
We use The Oregonian's words, leav
ing out the flub-dub so that the real
sense may be apparent.
In other words Roosevelt is done
with chasing the butterfly of "the
people" and is ready to sit in with
the gang again and save the inter
ests. We didn't believe The Ore
gonian would admit it so soon, but as
the organ of big-business in these
parts it is probably to be relied upon
when talking of republican plans.
COUNTY CLERK BUSY
Lapsed Cases Being Cleaned Off Cir
cuit Court Blotter
It takes a woman to clean house
properly, and Miss Iva Harrington,
county clerk, is showing that her ad
vent into politics has not removed her
womanly instincts in this regard.
Miss Harrington and her deputies are
now cleaning house in the courthouse,
and are going over the circuit court
cases and hunting up actions that
have been lying fallow for a year or
more. All such cases are being pre
pared for dismissal, and in the near
future Circuit Judge Campbell will be
asked to dismiss all these matters
and clear the books of them.
There are about 180 such cases
oluttering up the records of the coun
ty, and County Attorney Hedges will
check them over before they are
closed, to see that no criminal actions
which might possibly be completed,
are among the number.
SOMEBODY LIED, SAYS HUNT
Estacada Solon Denies that Consoli
dation of Boards will Effect Saving
When certain newspi-.pers of the
state told the peoplo that consolida
tion of various of the state boards
would save the peoplo $500,000 a year
somebody prevaricated, according to
Guy T. Hunt, of Estacada, and a leg.
islative representative) of the county.
Mr. Hunt talked to the Live Wires
this week, and said the saving would
fall far short of that amount.
He reviewed tho work of the leg
islature and of his committees in re
lation to the matter and said the com
mittee had been appointed too late
in the session to accomplish anything
definite before the adjournment of
the legislature. He abo said some
of tho members of tho legislature hud
urged the passage of a measure cut
ting off some of the commissions
merely to ninko good with their con
stituents nnd to redeem campaign
pledges, and not for the purpose of
doing any real good along the lines
oi governmental economy.
West Linn to Spend $3,000 on Munici
pal Improvements this Summer
West Linn, the county's newest
city, will open bids for street grading
on April 21st. The first work of this
nature is to be dono on tho highway
running through the city and leading
to the suspension bridge, and after
this is completed tho municipality
will put crushed rock on the new sur
face and have it rolled into a compact
paving. Approximately $:),000 willl
be spent on the work.
After the first street is improved,
other work of a similar nature will
be taken up on the cross streets, and
within a year or so, Wer.t Linn plans
to have as good paving as any in the
county.

MORE ABOUT ROADS
Correspondent and Courier Agree,
Express Views Differently
T. E. Brown writes a somewhat
screened river gravel on the county
highways. He says that the use of
"screened New Era river gravel has
greatly improved a stretch of the
Bakers Bridge road, and that he
thinks the Courier is wrong in con
demning the use of "river rock" on
this highway.
If Mr. Brown will read the Courier
carefully he will find that this paper
has endorsed the use of "screened
river gravel" on the roads, and has
mentioned particularly the success
ful treatment of Gladstone's streets
with this material. The Courier,
however, referred to this material as
"cement gravel," which is ono of the
many names that are applied to
"screened river gravel."
The thine that the Courier has
been protesting against is the use of
"river rock" just as it is dragged
from the Willamette (and as is us
ed as ballast on the Southern Pacific)
for surfacing the highways. River
rock like this was dumped a year or
so ago on the lower part of the
Bakers Bridtre road, from the state
rifle range east for a mile or so, and
this material has ruined that section
of the road.
The only river material suited for
roadway work is screened gravel or
cement gravel or "fine gravel" as
it is sometimes called. This material
packs well, crumbles slightly under
traffic, and forms a hard, lasting and
smooth surface, which drains easily
and gives horses and automobiles a
good grip in all kinds of weather.
River rock, on the ither hand, is al
ways rough, ruts easily, cuts into
what little surface of the road that
may have remained when it was
applied, and makes hauling extreme
ly hard. The Courier said what it
had to say about "rock" because it
understood the county court's plans to
mean "river rock" and not "screened
river gravel."
FESTIVE TIME HAD
Prize-fight Wagers Provide Where
withal for Blow-out at Resort
Members of the younger set in
Portland and elsewhere flocked to the
Friars' Club Tuesday evening to en
joy festivities following the victory
of Jesse Willard over the "smoke."
Two big touring cars brought out the
more fortunate among the guests,
and the trolleys served for the less
wealthy. Money won on the fight
was reported to be the basis for the
blow-out. In the dim dawn of Wed
nesday morning, the two big touring
cars were still riding at anchor in the
offing off the club piazza. As there
are only three beds in the club, any
sleeping that was done must have
been taken in relays. Sheriff Wil
son was, not at hand during the fes
tivities. WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT BUSI
NESS
(Continued from Page 1)
The law- in all its branches and as
pects conies in for so much roasting
these days that we will spare it, and
not print any of the choice remarks
made about it to us.
Three writers thought the Com
mercial club was a useless business.
And three thought the movies were
useless. We guess we won't print
any extract from those six letters,
either what's the use?
One man thought plumbing was
useless we gave you his letter last
week. One man thought the banks
were the most useless business en
terprise. His letter is on another
page of this issue, And one man
thought the church was the most use
less business. We are inclined to
disagree with him the church isn't
a business, as we see it.
INJURED MAN WALKS

Travels Distance Before Aided
Charles White, of Clackamas
Heights, fell from an Oregon City
interurban car at Gladstone, Tuesday,
and in 'trying to protect himself ac
cidentally put one of Lis hands on
the rail, where it was crushed by the
wheels. Though suffering intense
pain, White walked three miles to his
homo with his injured hand wrapped
only in a handkerchief before sum
moning medical aid..
Well Known Attorney Shot
Wilson T. Hume, a Portland attor
ney widely known in this county, was
shot Wednesday noontime in his
office in Portland by Frank Anthony
Constantino, a barber whom A. M
Brunswick, a former law partner of
Hume's had cheated out of $04.95.
Constantino asked Hume to give him
the money, and when refused drew a
32-calibre revolver and fired three
shots, one of which took effect.
Brunswick is now under sentence to
the penitentiary, Constantino having
been one of the chief witesses
against him.

MULTNOMAH FOLK WISE
Campaign for Road Bonding Appears
To Be Striking Snags
Though one would hardly imagine
it from the reports printed in the
"big business" papers of the metrop
olis, the campaign for road bonds in
Multnomah county does not seem to
be prospering much better than did
a similar campaign here some months
ago. Laboring men are opposing the
bond plan, even though its adoption
would give a great deal of work to
the idle; and far from all the other
citizens of Multnomah county are fa
vonng the scheme.
"Roadmaster" Yeon is speaking
nightly for the bonds, and an ampl
staff of orators is busy in behalf of
the plan at so much a speech, but
even at that nearly every meeting
held brings to light some new object
or to the plan who has the backbone
to "rise right up in meeting" and
speak his or her mind.
There is no disputing the fact
that good roads are an asset to any
community, but there is considerabl
doubt as to the business economy of
doubling their cost through a heavy-
interest-bearing bond issue. And
that is what people are realizing
everywhere, including Multnomah
county.
MOLALLA MAY HAVE TO PAY
Two Rail Boost Community and
Property Values Show Increase
Molalla -may have to pay the price
of greatness pretty soon, and see her
taxes get higher. Since the advent
of two railroad lines in the city in
the southern end of the county.
there has been a general boom on
and property values have undergone
a general increase. County Assessor
Jack has noted this, and believes that
it will soon become his duty to make
a new assessment of the community,
Such an assessment would naturally
show a greater valuation, and Mo-
lalla's share of county taxes would
go up,

Commercial Club Parlors, Friday,

work of organizing the division in
Oregon City hopes to have 50 sign

WATER BONDS ARE LEGAL
Friendly Suit to Determine Status of
South Fork Proposition Settled
The suit brought to determine the
validity of the pure mountain water
bond issue, recently authorized by
the county seat so that a pipeline
from the south fork of the Clacka
mas might be constructed, was con
sidered by the state supreme court
last week, and an opinion rendered
by Justice Bean that puts the stamp
of approval on the bonds. In order
to settle questions regarding the
regularity of the bond election,
County Attorney Hedges filed man
damus proceedings against the new
water commission.
Justice Bean in his opinion that
the special election authorizing the
bond issue and charter amendments
was legal, and that therefore the en
tire proceedings was regular. This
removes the last obstacle in the way
of the pipe line, and it is expected
that the construction of the line will
now be hastened as much as pos
sible. The question of the legality of the
bonds was one of the matters that
were responsible for the low bids
received for these securities. Now
that the supreme court has passed on
the matter, it is likely that further
bids will be sought, and perhaps a
better price obtained.
CITY DADS TALK
(Continued from Page 1)
from a Washington cement firm was
Templeton got his. A gentleman
present, and at the request of Mr.
Cox had argued that the council
adopt a concrete base for whatever
kind of paving it eventually picked,
saying that concrete was the only
lasting and satisfactory foundation.
He repeated this advice while the
council was still milling around seek
ing action.
"You must think we are all a lot
of duffers here in Oregon City," said
Mr. Templeton, getting ready to
launch into an oration.
"I can only judge by what I have
heard tonight," quietly replied the
concrete man, cutting Mr. Templeton
off.
When the laughter subsidec! Coun
cilman Hackett moved as an amend
ment to Councilman Andrews' motion
to adopt that action on the resolu
tion be delayed until next weeK. The
amendment carried with but one dis
senting vote.
Councilman Templeton moved ad
journment.
As a solution of the Main street
paving question, we would suggest
that the city council hire a hall and
charge two bits admittance, the
money to be turned over to a paving
fund.
While some people would think 25c
too much, we are ure that anyone
with a sense of humor would get
their money s worth.
