concurs:
"Owing to the fact that so many
people misunderstand the true In
tent of tho bill to bo submitted at
tho Juno election Instructing tho mem
bers of the legislature to vote for
the people's choice for United States
Senator, which I have already pledged
myself to abldo by, I have decided to
withdraw that statement and sign
tho orlicrnal Statement No. 1, lis It ap
pears In tho direct primary law. I
havo always advocated majority rule
and lk election of Untied States Sen
ators by tho people. I bollevo that
both statements are Identlcol as far

either case would be Identical."

MR. DYE TAKES STATEMENT.
J. W. Gray Will Run as Indlpendent
Candidate for Superintendent.
Tho local political sensation that
developed Friday by Walter A. Dlm
lck und Linn E. Jones making a change
In their platforms by signing State
ment No. 1 In place of the people's
Instruction amendment, has been fur
ther heightened by similar action on
the part of Colonel Charles H. Dye,
who was a member of the last legis
lature. Mr. Dye takes the sumo posi
tion as the other two candidates, that
while -the amendment Is practically
tho same as the Statement, the masa
of the country voters do not under-
atand 1t s such; and believe It to bo
an evasion. , v
Another political development of In
terest Ib the announcement of the
withdrawal of Joseph W. Gray from
the race for the Republican nomlnt-
tlon of County schoyl superintendent.
Mr. Gray,' however. Is not out of.tho
race, but will contest the flection of
Mr. Gary 1n Juno by appearing on the
general election ballot as au Inde
pendent candlate. He states -that he
is at a disadvantage In having only a
few weeks to make the fight for the
nomination and has no reasonable
hope of beating Mr. Gary at the pri
maries, and therefore he will antagon
ize the regular Republican nominee.
The Deonicrats do not expect to have
a candidate for this office.

DEATH FROM MORPHINE.
Fact Established That Unknown Man
Took His Own Life.
The body of an unknown man,
which waB found In the woods on the
old Latourette place near Newell
Creek, more than a -week ago, evident
ly met death from suicide. This is
clearly established Tuesday when
Mr. Darling, of Maple Lane, and a
companion, searched the spot where
the remains were found, and saw a
piece of glass shining in the sun.
They dug Into the earth a few Inches
and were rewarded by finding a bot
tle containing morphine. Two-thirds
of the contents had been consumed.
The bottle was placed in the hands of
Coroner Holman, who took the mor
phine to a druggist for analysis. Mr.
Darling raked the ground thorough
ly for further evidence but found
nothing. It Is apparent that the man
determined to die and went to the
lonely spot and took his own life.
There Is nothing to determine his
Identity, and Coroner Holman has
kept the remains in the morgue,
where several people have come from
a distance to look at them.
SCHUEBEL ARGUES FOR
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
FARMERS WOULD PAY ONE-THIRD
OF TAXES ON BASIS OF 75
. CENTS ON $1000 VAL-
UATION.
Arguments for and against the es
tablishment of a county high school
were heard Saturday night In the
Shubel school bouse, and the build
ing was crowded with people to hear
local speakers and Attorney C. Schue
bel, of this city, who made a talk in
favor of higher education. He show
ed that of 87C5 children of school age
in Clackamas County, 2915 of them
lived In Oregon City and vicinity, and
that territory paid two-thirds of the
taxes of the county, while the prop
erty represented by 5850 children paid
one-third. He said that a county high
school would mean a tax of 75 cents
on every $1000 valuation, and the
farmers would pay one-third while the
town and corporate . interests would
pay two-thirds. Last year 2S7 child
ren took the eighth tra je examina
tions, 143 in the country and S5 in the
district in and around Oregon City.
There are five county hiRh schools In
Oregon, but no consolidated district
high schools. Mr. and Mrs. "Miller,
Robert GInther, G. A. Schuebol, A.
Thomas, Mr. Hans-jn, Mr. Schmidt and
others talked agnmst the proposition.
on the. ground that taxes would be
higher and it was also argued that a
consolidated high school would be
better than a coMtit high scho d. for
the home Influences that would pre

Wholesale chicken thieving was the

HAWLEY PULP L PAPER COM
PANY STARTS CONSTRUC
TION OF PLANT.
OPERATIVE NEXT FALL
Concern Will Have First Paper Ma
chine In World for Formation
of Perfect 8heet of Pa
per at Any 8peed.
Developments in the construction
of the new plant of the Hawley Pulp
& Paper Company will progress rap
Idly from the present time until late
next Pall, when It is expected that
the plant will be complete and in op
eration. Mr. Hawley returned last
week from the East .where he went
to purchase machinery for his mill
and he speaks in glowing terms of the
prospects for the future. The machin
ery baa been promised for June deliv
ery and no time will be lost in put
ting it in place after ita arrival at
Oregon City, where it will be erect
ed at the basin on the East side of
Willamette Falls.
Workmen are now busy remodeling
the old Station A, which will be util
ized for a pulp mill, with a full equip
ment for a pulp and saw mill. The
same water wheels that were used for
the former station of the Portland
General Electric Company and later
for the pulp station of the Willam
ette Pulp & Paper Company will be
made use of, and the pulp mill will
have a capacity of 24 tons daily. Logs
from up river points will be dropped
Into the basin and sawed at this saw
mill, and with a sawmill at the sta
tion and another at Mllwaukle, Mr.
Hawley will be able to supply hla
mill with pulp material from both
ends of the line. He states that his
Mllwaukle mill will give bim a great
advantage in preparing wood for the
grinders away from the pulp mill, ag
all of the dirt incidental to a sawmill
will be left there and he will be able
to manufacture clean paper without
difficulty. He has an immense sup
ply of timber on the lower Columbia
and by bringing It to the Mllwaukle
mill, he is able to save 20 cents per
thousand feet In the cost of towage
alone.
Mr. Hawley worked out his prelim
inary plans carefully before launch
ing his new project He secured a
carload rate of 50 cents per thou
sand over the Oregon Water Power 4
ailway lines, from Mllwaukle to Ore
gon City, and spurs will be run from
the main line into h!3 sawmill and the
blocks will be thrown from the cars
at the sulphide mill directly into the
choppers.
All of the machinery in the mills of
the Portland Flouring Mills Company
has been removed and the building
will be turned over to the new com
pany in a few days. The main build
ing on the west side of the street
will hold the beating engines and
the second floor will be the finishing'
room. In the old grain warehouse on
the west side of the street there will
be two digesters, 12x25 and the nec
essary equipment, for a producing ca
pacity of 25 tons daily.
It is in the big paper machine that
Mr. Hawley takes a special pride.
He went all over the east Inspecting
the various machines of the many fac
tories, noting the best features of all
of them, and then went to Milwaukee,
lsconsin, where he spent two weeks
in the draughting room with experi
enced men. A huge machine waa
mapped out to the finest details, and
Mr. Hawley will have the first paper
machine In the world for the forma
tion of a perfect sheet at any speed.
This is a 122-Inch machine, with a
capacity of 30 tons of newspaper and
20 tons of manlla paper every 24
hours. To house the big machine
there will be constructed a building
40x204 feet, directly alongside of the
east side pulp mill of the Crown- Col
umbia & Paper Company, and It Is
possible that a party wall will be built
for both these buildings.
The dock will be extended 12 feet
on the north side to reach to the
river and will come straight up to
Main street, within a few feet of the
woolen mills.
