LUCK TOO GOOD TO
PORTLAND FISHERMAN
The ttory of the trouble or a Port
land man who came to Oregon City to
fish I going the round here. Hit
name I Jonet.
Jone It an expert on fishing. All
year he maket plant for hit annual
trip to the fall of the Willamette
where he luret salmon from the deep
poolt near the fall.
The year 1915 wat no exception and
for two weekt he hurried the work In
hit office to that he could take a day
off for fishing. The day was finally
aet and the nlltht before he prepared
all hi equipment: spoons, gaff, line
and pole. On the morning or the day
he arrived In Oregon City on the first
car with the though of a long day on
the river.
Out ho went. He was on the river
at 6 o'clock At 6:15 he caught his
first fish. At 7 he landed another
and at 8:30 he had the limit. Luck
waa too good to Jones. There was no
iport on the river when the stern laws
or the state or Oregon Bald that hn
could rish no more. So Jones took the
9 o'clock car back to Portland, back
to the office, only because fishing at
the falls or the Willamette was too
good.

After three year of delay, Iht coun
cil Wednesday nlghl took tha first
definite step toward tha Improvement
of Main atreet with Worawlck asphat-

hat conslatently opposed a Worawlck
Improvement from the time tha El Oao
resolution paaaed, waa the only mem
ber or the council who voted against
a resolution calling for the Worswlck
Improvement.
The rirst step taken by the council
In the matter or Improving Main street
wa the killing or the El Oao resolu
tion which wat passed two weekt ago.
Metzner then moved to accept the
plant and specifications for Worswlck
pavement which were prepared by City
Engineer Noble. An ordinance rail
ing for Worawlck wa then paaaed up
on the motion or Meyer.
The rouncll must receive bids roi
the Improvement or Ihe street In order
to comply with the formalities of the
charier although it It understood that
W. H. Worawlck will do the work for
$1.15 a square yard. The specifica

ment although that name la not men

the Worawlck resolution, aald that hi
wanted two thing: a provision In the
contract with W. H. Worswlck pro
hibiting the use of machinery belong
ing to the Warren Construction com
pany or men now In their employ and
a provision that the contract should
Include all costs, or, In other words,
that there should be no extras. The
total cost or the Improvement, accord
ing to the estimate or Engineer Noble,
will be $15,513.75.
The council Instructed Recorder
loder and Chief of Police Shaw to put
men serving time In the city Jail to
work on tha streets under the super
vision of C. C. Rabcock, superintendent
of streets. Mr. I-oder asked that he
be Instructed to do this. He declared
that Instead of being a financial bur
den to the citr, the prisoners should
work to pay for the expense of keep
ing them In Jail.
Warrants on various street funds,
totaling In value $0998.72 were trans
fered to the general fund and pay
ment will be made in general fund war
rants.
The council Instructed City Attor
ney Schnebel to prepare an ordinance
appropriating money to buy rock for
roads In Mountain View cemetery. An
drews of. the cemetery committee rec
ommended the use of gravel Instead
of crushed rock, claiming that it was
$175 cheaper.

OUT RISLEY SUIT
COUNTY WINS IN ATTEMPT TO
FORCE CONTRACT SYSTEM IN
HIGHWAY WORK.
A demurrer riled by District Attor
ney Hedge tor the couLty In the tult
or C. W. Risley hat been sustained by
Circuit Judge Campbell. J. F. Clark,
attorney for Mr. Itlsley, said that prob
ably no effort would be made to press
the action by filing an amended com
plaint Mr. Itlsley contended that under the
state law all road work In districts
where over $1000 wat spent annually
must be done by contract and under
the supervision of the county surveyor
or a county roadmaater.
Mr. Hedges round that the caluae
refered to by Mr. Risley had been
amended to read that all permanent
road work amounting to over $10)0
must be done by contract and Judg-4
Campbell held that as In none of tho
districts the county court bad made an
appropriation for permanent work, the
law was not applicable here.
APPOINTMENT OF ROAD
EXPERT IS NOT LIKELY
COMMISSIONER SAYS HE SEES
NO REASON FOR NAMING
ENGINEER.
Although two months ago It was
considered probable that the county
court would appoint a road engineer
during the summer months. Judge An
derson and County Commissioner
Knight said Saturday that such action
was now highly improbable.
Up until the first of February, the
county court employed a road engl
neer, whose duty it was to supervise
road work although his authority was
not equal to that of a roadmaster un
