Most of tho wire was taken from the

cured a promise of aid In building
up tho company from the head of the

Mr. Hchuehcl suggests that tho city
donate the block released to the city
by Harvey Cross on Monroe Btreet
near the high school, nnd that the
coutity court donate a sum toward
the trectlort of the building. Tho state
would he ca'led upon to duplicate tho
total of previous donations, which, Mr.
Schncbel believes, would be enough to
hmld the armory. He calls attention
to the fuct that the block Is large
cnoiigh to hold the armory and to al
low, room for an outdoor drilling
ground.
The only objection to Mr. Schuebcl't
proposal It that the property It too far
from Mafn street.

MILLER IS EXEMPT
FROM JURY SERVICE
MULINO MAN REMINDS "JUDGE
CAMPBELL OF LONG-FORGOTTEN
STATUTE.
Circuit Judge Campbell has learned
a new thing about law.
'The Clackamas county jury list,
from which n hew grand Jury will bo
drawn Monday, Included the nanio of
E. J. Map'e, or Mulino. Mr. Maple
works ror C. T. Howard and Is a
miller. Mr. Howard Informed Judge
Campboll that a miller could not be
made to serve upon a Jury, and the
Judge looked up tho matter to find that
early In the aUtory of the state a law
was passed exempting ferrymen ond
millers from jury service, and Mr.
Maple was excused.
Judge Compboll hod heard of the
statute exempting forrymen, but tho
clnuse applying to tho same exemption
to millers was new to him. Tho scar
city of millers In pioneer days and
the Importance of their work was pro!
ably the reason for the iavr.
Total cost J10.4SS.31
Of course, other items must figure
In the cost of the pavement. The city
withheld 15 per cent of the total
amount and that money, amounting to
about 12400. Is now on dennnlt in a
local bank. The Standard Paving ' appeal from the justice to the circuit
company also gnve a bond to the city,! court In a prohibition case,
which to them is nn item of cost, and Doysen expressed disappointment to
tho time of a man taken up In negn-la number here over the severity of

places the two courts on the same
level ns fur as ite dry law is con
cerned. Au appeal Is the act of tak
ing a case from one court to a higher
one, which would be Impossible, ac
cording to District Attorney Hedges'
reasoning, under such circumstances
as these. An appeal from the Justice
court direct to the state supreme court
is not considered possible.
lloysen's attorney will contend, on
the other hand, that an appeal cannot
be denied. His contention strikes at
the constitutionality of one of the Im
portunt clauses of the state's new pro
hibition law.

Company's Salariet High.
Five men of the Standard Paving
oompany drew $200 a month each, a
condition which greatly Increased the
cost of tho Improvement to the com
pony. Several of these men did not do
actual work on the street, but were
Interested In the company financially
or as organizers. The salary of these
five men, alone totaling $1000 a month
probably was the cause of tho com
pany's financial difficulty before Ua
affairs iu Oregon City were wound up.
Howover, It is principal with tho
per yard cost of the pavement that
the figures of Captuin Worswlck nro
Interesting. The Improvement con
tained 11,79!; square yards, and-tho
actual cost of labor and material was
79.34 cents, nccording - to Captain
Worswlck's figures
It is principally bocnuse of these
figures that Harry Worswlck told tho
county court that ho could lay five
inch asphaltlc concrete pavement of
the same class as Main street for i'0
cents a yard. The Main street Im
provement is six inches thick. Figur
ing that each square yard inch of the
Main street street pavement cost 13.22
cents, or onc-skth of 79.34, five Inches
would cost 55.10 c'tits.
The buying power of the county Is
also taken Into consideration when the
cost of county laid pavement is esti
mated. There Is no question of credit,
as far as the county is concerned, and
properly managed the county will be
able-to buy mateiials at a low cash
price believes Mr. Worswlck.
Is not Justice In this country" and
complained that the Clackamas coun
ty officials wero continually interfer
ing with his business.

PORTI-AND, Ore., April 13. For
eign ships laden with grain in the
Portland harbor need 31 sailors to
complete their crews, according to
statements of Jack Grant, who is at
tempting to fill the crews.
Securing men is becoming more and
more difficult with every sinking by
submarine or mine of a neutral or
allied ship and the sailor bourdlng
house runnera are beginning to fenr
that nn unusually long wait Is in store
for the three vessels at present in the
harbor. The Norwegian bark Olive-,
bank needs five men. The Drltteh
barks Alice A. Leigh and Invergurry
need and 12 and 14 men respectively.
"Men cannot be secured to Bhlp to
Europe," declared Jack Grant this
morning. "The Alaska-Portland Pack
ers' association turned down applica
tions from 100 certified sailors anx
ious to go to Alaska on the Berlin an 1
the Levi G. Burgess, yet try as we
will we cannot secure a full crew for
the three vessels at present on our
hands."
The question of sailors has been agi
tating the Pacific coast for the past
six weeks. The Port'and Chamber of
Commerce made a determined effort,
along with other commercial bodies nn
the coast, to faU-n the blame onto tho
requirements of the new seaman's
bill.
H. l.elghton Kelly, exalted ruler f
the Elks, until recently mauler Bsh
warden, and a member of one of the
county's ploaeer and best known fam
ilies, may be the Democrat called up
on to reclaim the office of county
sheriff from the Republican party.
This is nothing but a report, it Is
admitted, b'lt it is a persistent re
port, and II. Lelghton himself last
night refused to deny or confirm It.
Several leaders of the faith in Oregon
City Thursday received the news that
Kelly may run with surprise, as if it
was news to them, and then observed
that Kelly wns a good man.
That the Democrats 'will center
their efforts upon the election of a
sheriff, an office so long considered
the personal property of the party. Is
generally conceded. E. T. Mass, at

WUPam Freeman nnd Oaear Smity
who were cruising nearby in a I iun- h.
Kiddona was 16 years of aco. an. I
! bad been living with hit uncle, W. W.
Iourle, at Greenpolnt. Ills mother
Is In Milton, eastern Oregtn. At the
time of the accident Flddont waa
Crouching in the bout, wearing a heavy
tweatrr and overcoat, and trying U
warm himself after being exposed to
the rold wind and spray that bad be.iu
blowing downstream from the falls all
afternoon.
When thrown Into the water he wat
unable to free himself of hit encum
bering clothes and ving a'lmvt nt
once. Kmployees at the Hawlcy mill
and fishermen on tho river who saw
the accident, ray that Siddomr' arm
was visible for a moment, wavin
above th eddlct In the river, and that
it was almost immediately lucked be
neath, the surface of tho water.
Siddons and Kinney went fishing
about the middle of tiie afternoon,
soon after sihool was out for the day.
At first they kept their boat in the
backwater oft tho llawley mill wharf.
Just before dusk they decided to try
the swifter water of the river beto'v
tho fa'ls, near tho dendllno for angler,
and to reach this started to cross th' -swift
current of water that poure t
foam-flecked from under the Hawlcy
mill. Their frail craft was instantly .
gripped by the swirling waters, and
whirling about like a feather wim
swept into the eddy at the end of the
tall rare. Here It spun for a moment
and then tipped over.
Kiney, unburdened by heavy clothes,
managed to fight his way through tho
cross currents to the upturned boat
and clumbored onto ita bow, where ho
hung and shouted for help. In spit
of his own peril his first thought wai
for his comrade, and when employes
of the mi'l rushed down to tho end
of the dock, he pointed upstream fc
where a few seconds Siddons' hand
waved above the water. Before there ,
was time to untie a boat from tho -mill
slip, the horrified watchers say
the uplifted hand disappear under tho
river's surface, and ail that remained
to mark the point of tho tragedy was
Siddons' cap, which floated in towards
the.dock.
Meantime Freeman and Smith,
cruising in a powerboat nearby, saw
the plight of Kinney, and drove their
craft with all speed to the upturned
boat. Kinney was taken from the over
turned fishboatand landed at the Haw-' '
ley dock, whore he was wrapped in
blankets and hurried away to a stove.
Coroner Hempstead was notified of
tho accident, but waa unable to do
more than gather tho names of wit
neses of the tragedy. Soon afterwards;
volunteers started out to drag tha
river for Siddons' body; and late Into
the night they kept up thoir work,
revealed now and then to the watchers
on the shore by the rays of tho search
light operated by game wardens bolow
tho falls. But slight hope was enter
tained during the evening for tho re- -ocvery
of Siddons' body, as tho river
bottom at the point under which he
disappeared Is cleft by a fissure over a
hundred feet In depth.
