Assistant State Highway Engineer
Cantlne spent Tuesday morning view
ing the work. Tho mixture, produced
at the county paving plant under the
direction of Paving Superintendent
Worswlck, Is "live" be declares and
the work first class. He contended the
bard surface Is the equal of any.
The exact cost of the paving cannot
be definitely eatlmcted until the work
Is completed and all bills received.
Preliminary figures, however, place the
cost at about TS cents a yard. Includ
ing the cost of belting. Installation
and of ninny parts which were stolen
or broken during the winter. The
actual cost of labor and material will
probably be about 62 cents a yard.
With the completion of the Oregon
Clly-Parkplaco road, the county now
will turn Its attention to other main
traveled thoroughfares which need Im
provement The alley north of the
court house will be paved and la being
put In condition to receive tbe asphal
tlc concrete now, and short stretch
of bituminous macadam on the Red
lands road will be repaired.
The paving la a county enterprise
throughout Sixty men, working two
shifts of eight hours each, worked on
the Improvement. On one day alone
2200 yards of material were laid, or
about 1200 feet of road. Only Clack
amas county men are employed.
The paving plant will probably be
moved near Milwaukie as soon as the

PORTLAND, Ore.. June 14. Fire
gutted the two upper stories of the
building occupied by the German Pub
lishing company and the Chicago Fur
niture company, at First and Salmon
streets at 6 o'clock tonight, entailing a
loss of approximately 140,000. A. E.
Kern, publisher of the Deutsche Zei
tung, with offices In the building, said
he suspecter lnccndariasm.
The German Publishing company
was the heaviest loser, almost the en
tire stock and machinery for publish
ing the dully German paper being de
stroyed. The loss to this firm Is esti
mated at $20,000, 90 per cent insured.
Damage to the building could not be
ascertained until an examination had
been made by Frederick H. Strong, of
the Ladd estate, agent for the build
ing.
The loss to the Chicago Furniture
company was mostly from smoke and
water, the fire being confined to the
upper two stories of the building.
The fire was discovered at 6 o'clock
by A. E. Kern.
The fire was extremely hard to fight
because of the amount of paper stock
stored on the top floor.
Mr. Kern bases his theories of In-
cendarism on the fact that not more
than a week ago a small fire was dis
covered on the top floor at practically
the same time in the evening as the
one started last night.
it Is easy for anyone to gain access
to the top floor," said Mr. Kern to
night, "as no one Is on that floor after
3:30 In the afternoon.
"We had a small fire that one of the
employes of the paper put out not
more than a week ago," he continued
'it was in a pile of papers that were
loose on the floor. I do not think it
possible that spontaneous combustion
could have been the cause of either.
The fire a week ago was discovered!
by accident.
"After that ' small blaze I had the
placed cleaned up to prevent a repeti
tion.' I think the fire was the work of
an Incendiary."
Arrangements were begun Immedi
ately after the fire for. the publication
of the Zeitung tomorrow. Its editor,
Maximilian Lucke, said every effort
would be made to issue the paper to
morrow afternon, even though but a
four-page paper could be got out.

Announcement of tentative plans for
a second new mill and for other
extenalve Improvements was made by
W. P. Hawlpy Sr.. president and gen
eral manager of the Hawley Pulp k
Paper company lute Wednesday. The
Hawley mills have a $750,000 addition
underlay, and with the enlargements
made public Wedneaday afternoon tbe
total cost of all Improvementa now
being made and planned will run up
to between $1.. "00, 000 and $2,000,000.
With this second additional unit
completed, tha Hawley company will
employ at least 750 men. The plant
now employes 385.
Tbe plant will turn out 150 tons of
paper dally. The mills now make 50
tona daily.
With plans announced Wednesday
carried out the company will receive
or ship dally 75 carloads of paper,
pulp, wood, sulphur, lime, niagneslte
and other material. One feature of
tbe plans ia that the company will buy
and operate Its own electric locomo
tive for twitching In Its own yards.
Option on Half Block Securtd.
The first new unit, for which execa
vatlon Is now being completed, will
extend from Third street on Main south
to the present mills of the company.
The unit announced today will run
from Third to the alley half way be
tween Fourth and Fifth. The milt has
bought the entire block bound by
Main, tbe Southern Pacific tracks,
Third and Fourth with tbe exception
of the southwest corner, which Mr.
Hawley Intends to buy, and he also
has options on the half block between
Fourth street and the alley and Main
street and tbe railroad. A recently
completed $10,000 concrete building
will be torn down to make way for
this second additional unit, as well
as several houses.
The vacation of Fourth street from
Main to the Southern Pacific tracks
and a franchise for railway tracks
along Railroad avenue will be neces
sary before Mr. Hawley can carry out
his plans. This will be brought up
probably at the next council meeting.
