FEW BIDS ON
WILLAMETTE
BRIDGE HADE
CONTRACTORS DO NOT
WANT MORE WORK.
Oregon City Project Referred
Back to Engineer for
Minor Changes
PORTLAND, Or., .June 2S. Al
though a rather big project of its kinil,
there was very little bidding on the
proposed bridge across the Willamette
river at Oregon City. A. Guthrie &
Jo., bidding $213,602.50, was low bid
der. While the bid was considered
satisfactory, it was referred to the
bridge engineer for some minor ad
iustir.ents In making this explana
tion to the crowd of contractors in the
room, R. A .Booth chairman, took oc
sacion to compliment the Clackamas
county court for the fine spirit dis
played in the negotiations and public
ly thanked Judge Cross and his asso
ciates
Agreement Is Reached.
Negotations between the commis
sion and the county have covered a
long period and at the f.rst of the
year the situation was about as bad
a? it could be, but it has ail been
worked out to the satisfaction of the
parties concerned. The proposed new
structure will replace the present
suspension bridge, which Vas erected
some 30 years ago at a cost of $25.
000. The present bridge was net built
to- withstand the demands of modern
traffic .
$8,000,000 Under Contract.
There is a growing disposition on
the part of the members of the state
highway commission to apply thr
brakes on th new work for a few
months. About $8,000,000 of work is
now under contract. The reasons for
the feeling among the commissioners
can be summarized thus:
Bids opened yesterday disclosed an
inclination to( climb fthe inference
being- that the contractors have all
the work they need and are bidding
higher than if their bidding were
prompted by necessity
Much Money InVolved.
PORTLAND, Or., June 28 The
state highway commission held
a $6,000,000 session here today.
It will sell bonds valued at $1,500,
000; let contracts for bridges, road
grading and regular hard-surface pav
ing lhat will total about $1,500,000,
and it is expected that it will meet the
counties that recently voted highway
bonds of more than $3,00,00o on a
fifty-fifty basis .
Oregon City Job Big:.
The most important bridge contract
to be awarded is that for buiding a
steel and concrete structure across
the Willamette river at Oregon City
The successful contractor will have to
get his substructure work done with
out interferiing with traffic until Jan
uary 1, 1922, at which time the bridge
will be closed and a ferry will have to
be used until the work is completed.
It is thought it will take at least
eighteen month3 to do this work, per-
naps longer.
Another important part of the bridge
contracts that will be bid on will be
a series on the Mount Hood loop,
work on which is now goins on.. This
work will- consist of twelve culverts
and three viaducts.
OF LOCAL RED CROSS:
SCOPE IS EXTENSIVE
i
Bonuses Are Applied for from
18 States by Oregon
City Residents.
.Appications for soldiers' bonuses in
every state which offers them have
been made for ex-service men by the
local branch of the Red Cross.
An application for a bonus under
the Michigan state law was filled out
today by Miss C. B. Pratt, heme ser
vice secretary here, for a man work
ing in one of the Oregon City mills.
Eighteen states, according to Mis3
Pratt, are offering bonuses and some
one from this city has been entitled
to apply under all of them.
Eighteen Offer Help
Under most of the laws, residence
after the period of service is not tak
en into consideration, an(j many men
are taking advantage of state aid
from the districts in which they en
listed. The eighteen states offering
ex-service men either cash bonuses,
loans or a choice of the two in some
form are Oregon, Michigan, South Da
kota, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Mas
sachusetts, Maine, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island,
Vermont, Wisconsin and Washington.
Since the war, according to Miss
Pratt, the work of the Red cross has
been confined mainly to aiding of the
soldiers to return to an even footing.
Special care is being taken of those
incapacitated, of families-of men de
tained in the service and those in the
hospitals. Miss Pratt's work covers
the entire county and she has num
erous cases on record requiring the
constant attention of the Red Cross.
A number of Clackamas county men
who contracted tuberculosis twbile in
the service are being cared for ant'
some few cases of mental unbalance
due to being gassed are being treated
from here in the hospitals operated
by the federal government in the
state of Washington.
Training Is Offered
The federal vocational training has
been extended to a number of Clack
amas men through the efforts of t
Red Cross which has also taken caie
of a number of pressing cases which
were not encompassed by the govern
mental provisions.
Work of this nature, says Miss
Pratt still offers a tremendous field.
The association has been hampered
by lack of adequate funds with which
to conduct its activities and has con
fined most of its efforts to the gath
ering together of the loose thread
of the social fabric, rent by the world
war, and weaving them together into
the life and progress o,f the country
today. .
The Spirit of Non-Performance
A' veteran high school principal , was speaking re
cently of the great numbers of young men of his ac
quaintance who had been willing to work long hours so
as to get a start in life. But since the war, he said, people
seem to be banded together to have an easy time and to
accomplish as little for themselves as possible for the
largest pay.
There is a story going the rounds of a man who was
employed on war work during the period of inflation and
extravagance, and who was asked how he liked his job.
He said he didn't like it. "Don't you get good, pay?"
they asked him. "O, yes," he said, "I get very large
pay." "But perhaps you have to work too hard," they
asked. "O, no," he said, "I don't have to work more
than half the time." "Well, what is the matter then,"
they inquired of him, "if you get high pay and only have
to work half the time?"
"Well, you see," he said, "I don't like to be watched
so close. There's a fellow there that follows me around
all the time watching me, and I don't like to be watched
that way. Later he pointed out a mysterious and un
communicative individual who at that moment was
hanging around near by. "That man?" they replied.
"Why that fellow is your helper. He has to follow you
round so as to help you when you need it."
This story, like the reported death of Mark Twain,
might be greatly exaggerated" yet it does give some idea
of conditions as they existed during the war period
among many people. There was the sprit of doing as
little as you can for the highest possible pay. It pro
duced costly conditions of production that lifted prices
up to the highest level ever known, and which made
great numbers of people unable to buy.
This inability' to buy commodities produced on this
abnormal level, cut down consumption, and Jed to the
unemployment recently existing. This is a working
world, and unless most people are willing to take hold
and "do with their might what their hands find to do"
conditions will be abnormal and the industrial machine
will run irregularly.

Work on the new school gymnasium
here, the contract for which has been
let to the Hord-Erooksi Company of
Portland, will be done largely by local
contract, acording to the announce
ment of R. W. Jones, representative
of the company who was here Tues
day. Carpenters and other laborers will
be employed locally and different
parts of the job wil be done by con
tract, the work going to local firms
wherever possible.
The contract for the construction
of the building amounts to $29,957.
The company, according to Mr. Jones,
is anxious to receive bids en the work
of evcavating, the painting and plas
tering. Material, as far as possible, will be
purchased locally. The lumber for
the building will come from the Wil
lamette Lumber company. It is pos
sible that the briolr lietor? will lin

cations. The contract for the plumbing and
heating, aggregating $6500. is already

up in order to give the local concerns
a chance to bid on the work.
Control of the Canada Thistle in
Clackamas county is to be accomplish
ed b5 concentrated action under the
offical jurisdiction of the county court.
The court Thursday issued an or
der declaring Clackamas county a
weed-control district, appointing Sher
iff Wilson weed inspector.
This action was taken at the re
quest of the Farm Bureau, which has
been receiving complaint from far
mers, who say that their crops are
endangered by persons who have been
allowing the weed to spread on -their
land.
The court is invested with the right
to declare a weed-control district and
force the destruction of all obnoxi
ous weeds.
Upon notice from the weed inspec
tor the farmers are expected to de
stroy such weeds upon their premi
ses.
The Canadian thistle pest is one
which numerous counties in Oregon,
especially on the coast, have to con
tend with. Once started, the weed
is difficult to eradicate snd is prac
tically ruinous to pasture land. The
only way in which it can be controlled
Is by united action througout a dis
trict, preventing its spread into pas
tures and plots where it has already
been eradicated.
The court two years ago declared
the county a weed-control district and
the county agent was appointed weed
inspector. Pue to the fact that the
organiation was inneficient, no strides
were made in the eradication of the
pest.
On this account there was consid
erable .hesitancy on the part of the
county court to re-establish the dis
trict here, but they were prevailed up
on by petitton from the Farm Bureau
and the aimers which they represent.

It will be seen from these figures
that the amount of money being spent

REALTORS PLANNING TO
BOOST ENTIRE COUNTY
Advertise all of Clackamas county.1
This was the policy adopted by the
Realty board at their regular meeting
Monday night when final plans were
laid for the sending of a represen
tative east to accompany the home
seekers' special back to Oregon.
Gordon S. Taylor has been selected
to make the trip. He will leave here
July 6, coming back on the train made
up of 300 easterners looking for farm
ing locations in the west, which leaves
Omaha July 19.
A pamphlet on Clackamas county is
to be Issued, dealing with the advan
tages and resources of the entire coun
ty. In outlining their policy, the
realtors decided to conduct their ad
vertising along broad lines, embracing
and benefiting the entire county.
The expense pf sending the
representative to Omaha will be born
by the realtors, but the expense of
publishing he general pamphlet will
fall upon the communities or the
county in proportion to the benefit
which will attain from it. The cost.
which is to be slight, will be met by
subscription.
