COURT ASKS FOR
AN OPINION ON
HARD SURFACE
ELECTRIC COMPANY
MAY GIVE SI 0.000
FOR BLUFF ROUTE
How to get the Pacific highway
through Oregon City was discussed
at a meeting of the state highway com
mission in Portland Friday, with the
commission reserving its decision.
Four possible routes were designated
by the engineering department. The
route along the waterfront to the
edge of the basin, will cost $202,000
according to Engineer Clarke, this
sum including pavement inside and
outside the city limits, and an over
head crossing at the Southern Pacific
tracks near Canemah.
Of course the waterfront route
would interfere with the frieght and
passenger service of the Portland Rail
way Light & Power company and F. I
Fuller, vice-president and manager of
the company, suggested the company
might contribute $10,000 if the high
way were built along the bluff.
One of Engineer Clarks tentative
routes uses the present undercrossing
and climbs the cliff at a 6 per cent
grade, which is in excess of the max
imum for state roads. Another ten
tative route starts from the street
where the bridge is and goes to the
Southern Pacific -tracks, paralelling
them a few blocks and then hitting up
the side of the cliffs to the top of a
5 per cent grade. The 6 per cent
grade route is estimated at $123,000
and route No. 3, with a new under-
crossing at Fifth street, is estimated
at $198,000.

on his federal truck, and when taken
before Judge Perry at Milwaukie Gold
berg paid a fine of $28 and hal the li
cense plates conifscated. The plates
were sent in to the secretary of state
and i' Goldberg wishes to run his
truck, and Ford car, he will have to
take out another set of license plates,
according to the officers, and pay the
full fee.
Citizens o Woodburn, who Journ
eyed to Salem Thursday to see Harry
Staben, accused of murdering S. J.
Voder, garage man last Saturday night
failed to identify him as the man seei
in Woodburn who hired Yoder. Some
alleged that Stabin looked like the
man seen in Woodburn, but refused tc
swear that Staben was he.
Following the return to Woodburn,
a mass meeting was called Tnursdav
night there, and citizens attending
subscribed $1000 as a reward for in
formation leading to the arrest ani
conyiction o fthe murderer.
So far, outside of the arrest of Sta.
ben, nothing has been unearthed lead
ing to clues to the guilty party or
parties, but the police of Portland
still claim that the murderer i3 eith
er in Vancouver, Wash., or in Port
land. They point out that the stol
en machine belonging to Yoder was
found in "Vancouver, and that the kil
ler is still in the immediate vicinity.
The funeral of Simon J. Yoder was
held at Woodburn Wednesday after
noon from the Methodist church, and
the attendance was so big that the :
church was not large enough to seat
all that desired to enter. Services
were conducted by Bishops A. P.
Troyer and S. G. Shetler, of the Men
nonite church. After this service, the
Elks took charge and Frank Wright
man delivered the ulogy. Many
Elks from Salem and Portland were
in attendance.
Interment took pla'ee in the Belle
Passi cemetery, Woodburn, the Elks
having charge of ritualistic services
at the grave.
What constitutes hard-surface pav
ing?
This question has been brought up
'by the application of taxpayers m
Road District No. 48, near Monitor,
to the county court, asking that a
stretch of three miles in that terri
tory be constructed with asphalt
bound or with "penetration" method
covering.
The members of the court are in
dilemma inasmuch as the question
arises whether "penetration" method
construction would come under hard-
surface as stated in the $1,700,000
bonding act voted by the taxpayers
of Clackamas county. The following
letter was addressed to District At
torney Stipp by the court to get
legal advice on the matter."
"The court wishes an opinion in re
gard to the following:
"Under our county bonding a:
there is a provision requiring the dif
ferent bond roads to be hard-surfaced,
"At a mass meeting of the legal vo
ters of Road District No. 48, a resolu
tion was adopted recommending tha
the county court use an asphalt-
bound or penetration method on the
Monitor road. This would be similar
to the road constructed near Risley's
and also the, mile of road from Clack
amas Station north.
"We are asking if this would con
form to the requirements of the bond
ed act. At the same time, will you
please Inform us if there is any legal
definition of the word "hard-surface
in our statute."

BURROUGHS IS CONVALESCENT
PASADENA, Cal., March 11. John
Burrough, naturalist, who has been
in a hospital here for treatment for a
mttnor ailment, was sufficiently re
covered Friday to start for his eastern
home about March 25.
District Attorney Stipp's answer to
the above follows:
"Gentlemen: In reply to your let
ter of March 14th, I will undertake to
answer the last question first:
"The term, hard-surfaced highways,
is defined in section 44 S8, Oregon
Laws, chapter 173, section 2, Laws
1919, page 86 of the compilation ot
the laws relating to roads, highways,
bridges and ferries for the year 1919:
"The term, "hard-surfaced highways
as used in this act and in all other
highway acts, shall be deemed to
mean any state road or highway con
structed and surfaced or to be con
structed and surfaced with such ma
terials or combinations of materials as
to produce what is commonly known
or styled "pavement;" and not such
construction or surfacing! as Is com
monly known as 'macadam.' (Laws
1919. chapter 173, page 242.)'
Section 4462 Oregon Laws, cnapter
221, section 1, laws 1917, pages 96
and 9S, compilation 1919, provides for
making specifications for hard surface
pavements by the state highway com
mission, as you will notice, was passed
in 1917 and the section defining hard
surfaced highway was passed in 1919
and it is proper to assume that the
law of 1919 referred, at least to a
considerable extent, to the law of 1917.
I am not familiar with these specifica
tions as defined by the highway com
mission and I do not know whether
they include specif catons for a road
constructed by the penetration sys
tem. "So far as I myself am able to teil
from appearances, the road construct
ed by the penetration system this side
of Risleys would fulfill the conditions
for hard surface, but this is an en
gineering question, rather than a le
gal one, and is to be determined eith
er by an analysis of the specifications,
which I do not now have, or by the
results obtained, which cannot be de
termined until after the pavement is
laid. I know .of no way in which it
could be determined at this time as a
question "of law. The point at which
a surface ceases to be macadam and
becomes hard surface is, one that 1
am not able to determine as- a ques.
tion of law, except where the differ- j
ence is so great that no one could be
The Newspapers and Deflation
The great problem in a period of deflation and
falling prices, is to keep goods moving rapidly, so that
losses on any given stock will be relatively small.
Many dealers -who have been unwilling to take a 5 per
cent loss at one time, have had to stand a much greater
depreciation by waiting. The drop in prices carne so
rapidly that the business community was unprepared
for it. But many embarrassments have been saved
. by the help the newspapers have given in cleaning out
stocks.
The Automobile Trade Journal tells of the posi
tion in which many car dealers found themselves, when
the price of new cars began to come off. Many deal
ers were left with too many used cars on hand. They
found it difficult to turn these into money, on account of
the smaller difference between the used car price and
that of new cars.
A dealer at Topeka, Kan., knew how to handle
this situation. He took two good sized ads in papers
of his city, and soon had the people coming to his
store in fine shape.
In eight days of his sale of used ' cars he disposed
of 16 of these machines. And the total advertising '
cost was only $6.50 per car. The percentage of ex
pense is not stated. But according to the average
price of the cars advertised, it would seem to have been
about one half of one per cent.
If all merchants had known what they could have
done by a policy of consistent advertising to make their
stock move rapidly, the troubles of the deflation period
would have been less serious. It took jusf two things
the past season to get the public to buying : First, a rea
sonable "sacrifice in price, which had to be made any
way. . Second, the information where such sacrifices
were being made. The public are not mind readers.
When a merchant cuts his prices, they don't known it
unless he tells them about it.
The first two weeks of the ownership of a talk
ing machine are usually the hardest on the near
neighbors.
A banker may have confidence in the future, but
he wants a couple of good names besides your own on .
the note.
The world seems to be approaching the point
where it will require the decidedly unusual to create
any thrills; '. 1 .--- - ...

mistaken as to whether macadam or

question is scientific question and not
a legal one."
GLADSTONE PAIR
OVER 80 YEARS

M. W. Knapp, of Gladstone, Ore.,
82 years old, and Mrs. Wilhelmine
Mielke of the same place, 81, were
married by Rev. Charles Baskervllle,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church at Vancouver Thursday. Their
tween the Clackamas county court witness was Mrs. Marie Streibitr. more
and the highway .commission in Port-. than 70 years old.
Commission Would
Prefer Bond Issue
Amended in June
It developed in the discussion be-
land Thursday, that the Clackamas
county bond issue isn't working out
as its originators supposed would be
the case. The law requires the road
districts to prepare the grade and
base by special levy, and when ther.e
are ready the court must, with due
diligence, proceed to hard-surface the
the road. Many of the districts now
realize that they will not be able to
get the grade and base in shape for
hard-surfacing for many years and
there is a growing dissatisfaction over
the provisions of the bond bill.
Members of the highway commission
suggested tuat possibly the people
would be willing to amend the bond
law at the June election and substi
tute graveling or macadam for "hard
surface." There is, of course, a ques
tion as to what "hard-surface" means.
County Judge Cross admitted that if
the change can be made to gravel or
macadam, the road betterment pro
gram in Clackamas county will bo
greatly simpliifed. The Judge observ
ed that some people think that th
court ha3 been negligent in carrying
out the provisions of the pavement bill,
but he declared the hands of tne
court are tied.
GAME WARDEN
MEADES HANDS
OUT ADVICE
According to H. E. Meades, game
warden for this district states the
game commission has ruled that only
three streams in Clackamas county
can be angled in out of season John
son Creek, Clackamas and Willam
ette rivers.
Meades alleges that all trout over
0 inches can be taken, but each ang
ler must have the proper license and
only one hook and line while fish
ing. '
There has been some dispute in this
territory whether or not fishing for
salmon trout comes under the closed
season, but Meaaes claims tnai tae
game commission has ruled that there
ain't no such animal" and that all
trout are trout, irrespective of names,
length or color.
It is reported that several local an
glers have been fishing for salmoi
trout in Clear creek, and that these
anglers believed that they were with
in the law in so doing. However
Warden Meade's - announcement puts
an entirely different aspect on the
matter.
Mr. Knapp said that he was well
off in thi world's goods and for
many years, has been "boarding out."
He decided he did not enjoy that so
much as to have his own home, so he
courted Mrs. Mielke, who owns two
homes. She was willing that they
get married and live in one of these
houses and rent the other, so the
match was made and they took a
little trip to Vancouver where they had
read so many young couples get
married.
Mr. Knapp served four years in the
Civil War and is yet an athlete. He
was going to put one foot over his
head to convince J. L. Garrett, coun
ty auditor, that he is yet young and
strong and i3 not an old man in his
dotage. However, better judgment
on the part of his piancee prevented a
display of athletic ability, but she af
firmed he could do the trick.
After they were married they were
as happy as a couple of youngsters
and-started for home to begin housekeeping.

FARMER'S HOGS
CAUSE OF HUGE
DAMAGES ASKED
COURT ORDERS
BRAKE SENT
TO PRISON
George Cook, living near Wichita,
this county, has been made the de
fendant- in a $14,000 damage suit in
stituted by Mary C. Hayman and E.
Hayman, of the same neighborhood.
The Haymans allege in their com
plaint filed yesterday in the circuit
court, that. Cook has about 200 head
of hogs on his place across the road
from their acreage, and that the smell
and filthy condition of the hog pens
have caused them much annoyance.
They also claim that flies are attract
ed by the smell and condition of the
nenQ and that the smell drifting in
at meal time has prevented them from
eating their meals. On this count
the Haymans ask the court to allow
judgment against Cook in the sum of
$10,000.
The second charge as stated by the
plaintiffs in the same complaint is
that they have been unable to sell
their property to prospective buyers
for the reason that as soon as the
buyer notices the hogs across the road
and smells the odor drifting from the
Cook hog peri, he immediately leaves
without buying the property. On this
count the plaintiffs ask further dam
age against Cook in the sum of $4000.
Not only was the damage suit filed
against Cook by the Hayinans yester
day, but Cook was arrested by Con
stable Fortune on a warrant sworn
out bv the plaintiffs charging him
with conducting a public nuisance
The public nuisance case will come up
in the justice court this week.

VOTERS TO FACE
SIX ISSUES AT
JUNE ELECTION
SALEM, Or., March 15. All meas
ures, constitutional amendments and
resolutions referred to the voters at
the recent session of the legislature,
a total of six, will go on the ballot
at the special election scheduled for
June 7, according to I. H. Van Winkle,
attorney-general.
These include measures authorizing
the state to use its credit to the ex
tent of 3 per cent based on the valu
ation of all assessable property for the
payment of the so-called soldiers' bo
nus, mental and physical examination
of all persons applying for marriage
licenses, jury servisce for women, 60
days' session of the legislature and
increasing the compensation of legis
lators from $3 to $5 a day, and single
item veto by the governor.
The attorney-general in another op
inion given to the secretary of state,
neld that chauffeurs, under the exist
ing laws, applies to all persons operat
ing a motor vehicle, whether it be a
motor truck, touring car or motor bus,
transporting or carrying passengers,
freight or any commodity of merchan
dise for which a charge is made.
An appropriation of $20,000 author
ized by the last legislature for carry
ing on the work, of the state child
welfare commission, will be available
after May 25, 1921, the date on which
the law becomes effective, according .
to a third opinion.
Relative to the appointment of
judges and clerks constituting the so-
called counting election boards ap
proved at the recent .legislative as
sembly, the attorney-general said:
"It is my opinion that in precincts
where appointments were made last
January the law as amended will be'
effective at the June election, but
that the precincts for which such ap
pointments were not made in January
1921. cannot avail themselves of the .
provisions of the amendment for the
reason that no means of appointing
additional judges prior to next Janu
ary is afforded."

FAKER OPERATES
AMONG BUREAU
MEMBERS HERE
It is reported that a stranger is
now working among the members ot
the local Farm Bureau taking subscrip
tions for a publication, which he rep
resents as the official "Farm Bureau
Bulletin" and is duping many farmers
by collecting $1 per year in advance
for the magazine. It has been dis
covered that many dollars have been
collected by the solicitor, and that
many members of the Bureau are not
aware of the deception.
Since the recent drive for members
by the Clackamas County Farm-Bureau,
the membership was increased
to over 2000 and the solicitor, working
in this county may reap a harvest if
farmers are not warned..
According to a n official of the Farm
Bureau, every member pays a yearly
fee of $5, which includes a year's sutv
scription to the Farm Bureau News,
he official organ of the Bureau, and
any member taking another magazine
with the understanding that it is the
official paper, 13 being deceived.
The solicitor in question has not
beenru nl down as yet, but the
officials have been put upon his track
and he will be brought to account if
he has not already left thi3 county.
Two yeggs, known as James Steele
nd John Mabus, were arrested by
Portland detectives Thursday after
noon at St. Johns and both of them
are accused of looting the three
stores in Estacada on the ngiit of Feb
ruary 26. When the police captured
them in a rooming house in St. Johns,
number of war savings stamps, caps.
drills and nitroglycerine were found in
their possession. After the Portland
uthorities telephoned Sheriff Wilson
here of the capture, that official im
mediately went to Portland and iden
tified the war savings stamps taken
from the Estacada hardware store on
February 26, when three different
stores were entered by the yeggs' oi
that night, and one safe blown open
and cash taken from the hardwaie
store. ,
Police allege that Steele and Mabus
have a long career for safe blow
ing jobs over the country, and that
they are two of the best cracksmeo
in the business. They are also ac
cused of blowing the safe of the Olson
Roe Transfer company in Portland on
the same night that the Estacada rob
beries were pulled off, and about $500
in liberty bonds and war savings
stamps were taken. Portland police
allege that Steele has served time in
California prisons, and that he is well
known among police circles as a safecracker.
Sheriff Wilson and Portland police
have been working together for some
time in tracing the yeggs down, and
Thursday a clue was discovered which
ied the detectives to the hiding place
of the yeggs in St. Johns.
The prispners will be brought to
Oregon C.ty atfer the Portland police
are through investigating the Olson
case.
