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. $1000 REWARD IS OFFERED FOR YODER SLAYER CAR HAS WRONG PLATES, DRIVER IS ARRESTED R.

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." Friends Surprise Pioneer on His - 30th Birthday ESTACADA, Or.,- March 14.

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 .--- - ... BRODIE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL BODY mistaken as to whether macadam or hard surface was meant. The whole question is scientific question and not a legal one." GLADSTONE PAIR OVER 80 YEARS OF AGE, MARRIED 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. E. E. BRODIE Elected President National Editorial Association at St. Augustine, Fla.

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.

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."

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. RECALL MUST OCCUR DURING MONTH OF JUNE SALEM, Or., March 11.
