one roof. To consider this matter the
commission held a meeting in the
commercial club room and heard a
general discussion.
Messrs. Dey and Hampton presented
plans for a Ibuilding to comprise the

a 20 foot roadway belonging to the
company between the building and cor
ner of the creamery plant. A sugges
tion by Messrs Schuebel and Eby that
the company buy additional width at
this point for street purposes was
promptly squelched by Mr. Dey.

change of the former commissions or
der and permission to combine the two
buldihgs under one roof, as soon as

project here in Oregon City, $25,000

amount to approximately $70,000 for
improvements here.

The matter of fire restrictions in the
erection of hew buildings in the city
was threshed over by the council at
its adjourned meeting on Thursday
night. City attorney O. D. Eby, will
draft an ordinance covering the sub
ject in the near future He has al
ready made extensive investigations
of ordinances regulating this matter
in other cities. The fact that many
buildings, including the old wooden
structures used for commercial pur
poses, are veritable firetraps was
brought out as was also the fact that
new wooden buildings have been
built within the recent past contrary to
the fire regulations, now existing.
The Morning Enterprise was prop
erly and vigorously "spanked", for re
cent reflections cast on the street de
partment and the council. Councilman
Metzner declared "the present superin
tendent the most efficient in the his
tory of the city and the council passed
a motion demanding an apology from
the said "Morning sheet"
The council then amended the ordin
ance passed in August 1921, porhlbit
ing persons affected with certain dis
eases from working in restaurants and
public places by attaching to it a
maximum penalty qf $25 and 10 days
in jail. This will make the ordinance
operative for the first time.
A P. R. L. and P. check for $5D was
received in payment for the fire de
partment services at Fernwood sta
tion a few weeks ago when one of the
company's freight cars was burned.
The Western Bond and Mortgage
company of Portland made an offer of
$164 premium on $8500, city six per
cent improvement bonds and the mat
ter was referred to the finance com
mittee and city attorney.-

Washington street bridge and another
protesting against the vacation of
Third Street were referred to the
street committee.

WAR ON RODENTS IS
SUCCESSFUL IN THE
ERADICATION
Government Expert Under Direction
. Of Farm Bureau Works Over
The County -
W A. Holt announces that the con
trol of the gopher pest in this county
is well under' way. As an instance of
the work done in eradicating the pest
is the experiment on the Colonel Aird
Pansy farm where the rodents had
done great damage during the season.
Here an experiment was carried on
by application of strychnined clover
tops in the runways and soon no more
evidence of the animals were seen. The
cost of the poison was only a few cents
and the time required to make the
application was approximately an hour.
Those who wish to use the poison
however are cautioned by the county
agent to obtain full instructions before
making the application. An expert
from the United States', government
has been working over Clackamas
county recently in this connection and
the work will be taken up again by
the farmers during the fall and winter
in the way of practical demonstrations.
REPUBLICANS AND
PROHIBITION WIN
IN OHIO
The conservative Republicans won a
signal victory in the Ohio primaries
on Tuesday. Those candidates who
tried to make a "monkey" out of pro
ressivism by adopting the slogan of
"light wines and beers", are now re
flecting on the outcome. Thompson
the candidate of the anti-saloon league
and backed by President Harding for
the governorship scored in fine style.
The boozy woozys hadn't vision
enough to interpret the public will
sufficiently to make first base. The
result is taken as a vote of confidence
in the Harding administration and en
couragement to a dry U. S.
Thompson began life for himself as
a coal miner, amassed a fortune in oil
business, and was for a time United
l-States treasurer.
Ohios delegation of twenty-two Re
publican congressmen were renominat
ed with the exception of two who were
Candidates for. other offices.
For senators, Pomerene, a Democrat
and Fess Republican were nominated.

enau th.e German foreign minister, a
short time ago, is said to be is the plot
to kill Einstein.
It is said that this same group of
malcontents have marked several
other leading politicians, editors and
ffinanciers for assassination.

Multnomah Commissioners
Agree Upon Plan To Fi
nance Their Portion
FINAL ACTION SOON
Portion Of Multnomah Highway Tax Is
Pledged Legal Objects Are
, Overcome
That completion of the Mt. Hood
loop road whose construction has been
delayed several months owing to the
action of .the Multnomah county tax
commission in cutting the necessary
amount from the budget last winter
is now assured, is the belief in road
circles in- both counties.
The Multnomah county commission
ers have passed a resolution pledging
$170,000, the necessary amount, wfiich
will be placed in the budget for next
year and taken from the 1923 motor
vehicle fund of the county for this pur
pose. At a conference held this week and
which was attended by the commis
sioners elect, by John -B. Yeon and
attorney Deavers of the highway com
mission and by Stanley Myers,, district
attorney for Multnomah county, . the
matters pertaining to the legal rights
of the commissioners to use the ve
hicle funds for next year were gone in
to thoroughly. The result was that
the resolution prepared by Mr. Deav
ers was made satisfactory to the ma
jority of the commissioners including
Mr. Rudeen, who had formerly op
posed it. Hoyt voted no.
The final step in concluding the mat
ter will be approval by the tax con
servation committee at the time of ap
proving the general tax budget in
December, for 1923. However, it is
believed that the tax commission will
not then oppose since their former ob
jections have been eliminated.
It is expected that the highway com
mission will now, with the above as
surance of reinbursement of the outlay
to the state, let the contract for the
paving. Claflkamas (county has al
ready paid her portion of this improve
ment for 25 miles the sum total of
$83,000.

with Mrs. Freeze to drive on the home
ward trip, but owing to the many acci
dents that occurred on the road lead

that "safety first" was a. very good
slogan, so decided to let her husband
drive, returning with him. " Dr. Freeze
reports that ten accidents occurred on

mook, in two of which two women
were killed.
Dr., Freeze says that owing to im
provements which are being made on
the road between Grand Ronde and
Hebo, one must drive slowly and care
fully. The recklessness of the drivers
on this road also makes the task of
driving a dangerous one.
Dr Freeze and his party speak in the
highest terms of the fine weather
and wonderful) scenery encountered
on the trip and Dr. Freeze's mother
who is making her first visit in Ore
gon is especially delighted with the
scenic beauty which she has seen on

with which to sufficiently deepen the
channel the business men's association
called on the government anij deposit
ed guarantee of $150 per day for the
dredge until the work is in such shape
