T STATUE If JUSTICE ON THE COURT HOUSE ONE SCALE PAN 13 BLOWN TO GROUND AND OTHER IS IN PERIL OF EVERY GALE. Buffeted by every wind that blows up and down the Willamotte, the statue of justico on the roof ot the Clackamas county court house again has lost one of her scale pans, and the other dangles In the wind, In peril, too, of being blown to tho ground. County authorities aro finding It almost Im possible to keep her supplied with all the paraphernalia which the orthodox Justice always carried. Less than a year ago the statue was newly equlppod with scale pans and a sword, the storms ot a winter ago hav ing snapped the sword in two. Summer breezes ere not strong enough to do damage, but already this winter one scalo pan baa been blown away and the other probably will come down be fore summer comes again. The statue is placed on the highest point of the roof of tho front ot the court bouse, many feet from the ground. Neither trees nor buildings shelter It and atrong winds from up and down tbe Willamette strike It with full force. Damage done by recent storms will probably not be repaired until spring.
