"I have written to many of the con tract holders and told them tho exact state of affairs, and many have drop- pod all effort to get anything back,' (aid Mr. Randall. "Ilcsldcs the con tract holders, there are several mort gages outstanding against the prop erty of the association In the Red- lands district. I consider the chances of the men who have Invested In the association receiving anything In re turn are remote." Mr. Randall holds the books of. the association. The court has not order.ij him to total up such items as the ey Ink-ail several weeks ago and the council, hoping lo get Rl'ty off Hit Job, etopped bis , monthly salary of $7:.

"I will reply I to them and nuikri additional charges j the next time they inert."

Riley's Statement Answered. ' We also found that he would not enforce the laws ind ordinances with out some citizen made a complaint to him although he knew the law was be ing violated. When wo asked hlin whv he did not enforce the law, ho said the council hud no Jurisdiction over him, and thc only one ho looked to tor or ders was the mayor. From his atti tude, the co'imil decided he wa not the man for water s'Uicrintendent, and voted lo discontinue his kalury ufter May 1 " . Tho statement then quotes sections from the city charter, showing that the council has authority over the mar shal. "During the silver thuw in January nnd February the street lights were out for 17 das," the statement con tinues. "When siKiken to concerning the lights he said he knew nothing about It. There was a matter of $02.50 on the light hill. Was it worth know ing about? The council directed the '.nnrshal to cut dawn some trees on Thirty-second street, and to do the work himself; but instead of following his instructions, the marshal hired a ninn who charged the town $7 for the work. At this time tho marshal was engaged In trying out nn automobile with an nnto dealer, when his time be longed to the city.

Some of his Ideas arc far advanced. It is tr ic, but they nn true. He scored the school building stairway as a death trap for children. Ho ridiculed the Idea of placing a two or three-story brick building In the middle of a high-priced block of ground, leaving no room for piny grounds.

The season will Improve, according to the old-timers, who declare that the run is Just beginning. j Although the Gill act, passed by the last legislature, prohibits net fishing above the bridge the usual number of fishermen were on the river Monduv night. Hundreds walked out on the bridge to watch the lights In the boats. Each fisherman carries a red and white lan tern In his craft, and tho sight of 130 boats, each lighted in this way, Isj novel. The trolling season this year does not end with the coming of tho not fishermen, as in former yeara. The crowd on the river Sunday was prob ably 'as large as any this season. Tho number of boats filled with trailers Sunday was estimated over 200.

If a good pavement la lain ror a rraanaile figure the coun ty Intenda to buy the paving plant which It Is no uiung under a Iraar. and do mm h work during the coming iiniini-r. Th county court Intends to niovo the plant to a site near Milwaukle which would U convenient to both the S llwood and the Elghty-acou I ttreel road". With the use of motor truck the hot paving mixture conl I te moved from this site to eltbrr roa-I with little eipenae and the paving la d at small cost. The road frun Milwaukle to Sell wood has been one of thn principal sources of trou'ile to the county court in the county. It was Improved with I ultiiinlnoi-s macadam a year ago last lau, out unexpected rains prevented the correct application of the surface and the road now Is rourh, although one of the main traveled road from ortland Into thli county. The Improvement of the road frvu Oregon City to Tarkplare is largely 'n the nature of an expcrl-ient. The county will keep a close check on lh. cont of the work, receiving daily re port from Harry Worswick, superin tendent of the paving, and T. A. Roots, county roadmaster. Mr. Roots suid Friday that he bcileved that the dve inch asphaltic concrete surface would not cost over 60 cents a year, includ ing the cost of installing the plant at Patkplace. One of the county road rollers Fri day began to break up the o'd road .'or the new surface. Mr. Worswick ii rapidly assembling the mixing plant. nnd Mr. Roots declared that ho be lieved that actual paving would begin in 10 days. If the Parkplace road Is laid for what the county expects it to cost and if the county is satisfied with the qual ity of pavement, the county will ex ercise Us option and buy the paving plant for $S00 from the Columbia Digger company. The lease the county holds expires June 1, and the county court believes that the work can be completed before that date. GAS FOUND AT AMITY. EDITORS OF STATE T( SALEM, Ore., April 2S.
