OPERATION TO START
LATE THIS SUMMER
Route to Cross Clackamas at
Baker's Bridge; Logs Will
Be Hauled to Clear Creek.
Btcteasion of the Portland & Ore
gon City railway, commonly known as
the "Carver line," from Carver, in
Clackamas county, a distance of nine
miles to Viola, on Clear creek, was
.announced by incorporators of the
Viol Halfway company, headed by
Stepkea. Carver.
The tew extension has already
been started, one mile of the new rail
line having been completed and the
grade prepared for the entire dis
tance. The total cost of the project
is approximately $90,000.
" Tfce purpose of the extension is to
opea b the vast body of virgin tim
ber situated on Clear creek near Mo

in that district, including the Carvers,
Spreckfes and Swifts. r

Tie Carver line as at present con
stituted is 27 miles in length, and has
its Portland terminus at East Eighth
street amd Hawthorne avenue. Rail
road no tor car service is maintained
regularly by the line. The rail line
was originally constructed as a stand
ard gaage route about eight years
ago.
In pmshing the line through to the
new terminus in the timber, the
route jwill be across the CJackamas
river at Baker's bridge. For the ex
tension, the timber owners are to
supply their own ties.
Mills to be Enlarged
It is planned that the road when
completed will haul both logs and
milled timber. Several mills are lo
cated in the clear Creek district, and
the iaoerporators predict that en
largement of .these mills and construc
tion of others will follow the comple
tion of the rail lines.
Logs can be brought to the Willam
ette river also, according to a state
ment made by Heusner, who s.aid that
the lbte has an extension for log
dumpias purposes located between
the golf links and the Oaks.
An increase in the birth rate Jn
Clackamas county and a decrease in
the death rate, is shown in the latest
available figures, incorporated in a
report published by the State Board
of Health, which has been received
here by Dr. O. A. Welsh, county
health officer.
The statistics show an increase of
.7 in the birth rate in 1920 over 1919,
and a decrease of .4 in the death rate
during the corresponding period.
The 1920 birth rate was 16.4 per
thousand which on a population of
37,698 amounted to 619. Clackamas
county has the 28th highest birth rate
in the state. There are 27 counties
with a higher rate and eight with a
lower rate. The highest birth rate in
the state is 26.5 for Tillamook coun
ty while Grant is credited with the
lowest of 12. The average rate thru
out the state for 1920 is 19, an in
crease of 3.4 over the figures given
for 1919.
Death Rate Low
During 1920 there were 382 deaths,
representing a per thousand mortality
of 10.1. This is the 14th lowest in
the state and is slightly under the av
erage which is 10.7. :
The increase in the population of
the county during the year from 1919
to 1920 was 386 or 10.2 per thousand.
There was an excess of births over
deaths of 194, which leaves a 192 in
crease from other sources, showing
that for that particular year the gain
"was 5.1 per thousand population from
births as well as immigration.
The ratio of increase by births to in
crease -by immigration between 1918
and 1919 bears a different proportion,
being about 5 to 16 instead of 5 to 5.

day afternoon, A, La vine, 372 First
Street, Portland, is in the -. Oregon
City hospital with a broken leg. H.
Lavine, his partner, who was driving
the machine, escaped uninjured.
Th accident happened just north of
Oregon City where the east side high
way crosses the S. P. track near Park
place. II. Lavine, who was drivirife,
said that he was not running faster
than 15 miles an hour, but that the
slight rise in the road at the crossing
obscured his vision and he was just
able to swerve the truck to the
right, when the locomotive
struck it a. glancing blow, tearing off
the frame top, and hurling A. Lavine
'from the seat.
The injured man was taken to "Ore
gon City on the train. According to
the statement of the engineer, th
train had whistled before approaching
the crossing, but the driver said that
he heard nothing, probably because
the wind was against him. j
Examination of the injured man.
made by Dr. H. S. Mount, showed a
compound fracture of the leg. There
was one break at the knee joint and
one below the knee cap. At the hos
pita Monday evening Lavine was re
ported resting easily.
The driver of the car was able to
return to Portland with the somewhat
damaged machine. They were on
their way here from that city with a
load of fruit on one of their weekly
trips to supply the camps in this vicinity.

BILLS; 5 ARE INDICTED
bALLM, March- 9. Carson D.
(Pete) Beebe, who arrived at the
state hospital here a few days ago
rollowing his acquittal in the Linn
county circuit court on a charge of
murdering John Painter, today in a
confession made to Dr. John C. Evans
a physician at the institution, admit
ted that he killed both Painter and
his son William and buried their
bodies in a shallow grave soma dis
tance from the Painter home.
At the time Beebe was tried for the
murder of the elder Paiater he denied
the charge an dalleged that John
Painter killed his son and then com
mitted suicide. "For fear that, he would
be implicated in the affair, Beebe told
.the officers that he buried the bodies
where they later were found bs
searchers. The jurors, after hearing
the testimony at the trial, acquitted
Beebe on the grounds of insanity.
GOVERNMENT EXPERT TO
STUDY BROCCOLI CROPS
Seventeen bills, four not true bills,
five secret indictments and eight in
dictments were returned by the grand
Jury in the circuit court here Friday.
Four indictments were returned
against James Moore, 60 years old, of
Clackamas Heights, on statutory
charges- One Indictment against
Frank Smith and three against Jess
Poyser on similar charges were filed.
Not true bills were given in the
cases of Millard Francis charged with
larcency of dwelling; W. H. Fergn
son, non-support; Sidney Miller, lar
ceny and R. A. Travers charged with
embezzlement of $43.50 from W. H.
Harris. The grand jury was dismiss
ed to await the call of the district at
torney.
R. R. Pailthorp of the bureau ol
markets, United States department
of agriculture, is to investigate the
broccoli situation in the Willamette
valley and in southern Oregon.
Mr. - Pailthorp is here to work out
the problems of marketing broccoli
without the occurrence of yellowing
of the jackets surrounding the curd,
which has met with much disfavor
in eastern markets. Whether this
discoloration is due to improper ven
tilation, inadequate icing, unsuitable
methods of harvesting and packing
or variety of plants, will be some of
the angles of the probem to be
taken up.
Investigators will be detailed to
accompany shipments and to study
the conditions surrounding broccoli in
transit and at the unloading points.
That there will be no procrastina
tion on the part of Oregon City in se
curing the improvement of the South
End road, is indicated by Mayor
James Shannon, and Dr. H. S. Mount.
head of the street committee. -
Negotiations regarding the im
provement of the south outlet to the
Pacific Highway were given consid
erable added impetus by the an
nouncement by the state highway
commission that unless immediate
means were taken to provide for the
improvement, drastic action upon the
part of the state would follow.
Altho they, concur in the opinion
that further. delay, must be avoided,
they are not together upon the mat
er of how the improvement should be
financed. Mayor Shannon believes
that the entire matter should be left
up to the private interests as the city
is not in a position to make any ex
penditure for the work. He points
out that under the present budget
system, there are no funds for the
work and that the only way that pro
vision for it could be made would be
to float bonds, which could not be
done without a special election.
Dr. Mount, who is also head .of the
Commercial Club committee which
has the matter in hand, feels that it
is essentially the duty of Jthe city to
take care of the improvement, though
he believes that aid should be asked
from the industrial .plants and other
interests, to some extent. The new
bridge appropriations, he points out,
were -made in the face of the fact that
no way appeared open for the expend
iture, and he believes that a similar
method can be worked out in this
instance.
If the matter Bhould come to a show
down, he says, the commission would
order the improvement made, and
then, by taking it into court, could
assess the entire cost to Oregon city-
No action of this nature is expected.
because of the fact that an adjust
ment will probably be reached in the
near future.
A request has been forwarded toj
the state highway commission for ac
curate figures as to the revised costs
of the improvement along the differ
ent surveyed routes, and a definite
expression as to what portion will be
borne by the state. This Information
is expected to form an accurate work
ing basis for further negotiations.
Adopting a platform embracing
practically the same principles as
those advocated by county branches
throughout the state the Clackamas
County Tax Reduction league held its
organization meeting "here Monday,
electing delegates to attend the state
convention in .Portland the 20th of
this month. " .
The delegates are R. Scheubel, F.
St. Clair, C. E. Spence, Henry Thies
sen, Chris Scheubel and R. E. Cher
rick. ,
The meeting passed a series of res
olutions outlining the general policies
that will be followed. The non-partisan
league and the single tax system
were repudiated. Reduction of ad
ministrative salaries, the recall of the
public service commission and gen
eral reduction of governmental ex
penditures were among the chief
points covered.
Tax reduction leagues over the en
tire state were In convention during
J the. past few days," preparatory to the
state-wide meeting in "Portland. A
general resume of the policies adopt
ed, follows:" jt
Recall of public.- service commis
sion; opposition to world's fair by
direct or indirect taxation; no person
not a taxpayer should vote on any
measure bonding the state, county or
other municipality; revision of salar
ies of state officials and members of
the supreme court; to make the emer

money should be submitted to the
people except at. a general election;
$5000 urged as maximum salary for

NEW COMMITTEE WILL
ACT ON SOUTH END ROAD
Body Lead by W. P. Hawley
Has No Recommendations;
Municipal Funds Lacking.
Accepting the report of the South
End road committee which made "no
recommendations," the Live Wires of
the local commercial club Tuesday
discharged the committee and unan
imously moved for the appointment
or a new body of men to carry on the
negotiations for the improvement of
the south outlet from Oregon City on
the Pacific highway.
The south end outlet has been pend
ing for some months, - and matters
were recently brought to a head by
the demand of the highway commis
sion that measures toward its im
provement be inaugurated immediate
ly. There is no dissention over the
routing but the matter of finance is
to be arranged before any definite ac
tion can be taken. Attempts are un
der way to secure the cooperation of
private industries in -that vicinity.
The report of the committee, com
posed of W. P. Hawley, A. R. Jacobs
and W. Brown states that they had
"Individually or collectively inter-
viewed both the county and city offi
cials, and find that there are no funds
available for this improvement. In
view of the existing circumstances,
this committee has no recommenda
tions to make and begs to be dis
charged.'" v
E. tt. Pope, newly elected Main
Trunk of the Uye Wires will an

The license grants the application
of H. Tregaskis and M. L. Hubbard
for the operation of a dance hall

lengthy petition protesting against
the moral tone of the beach. .Judge
Cross, in view of the reputation of
the beach last year and the com

refused to approve of the granting of
the license.

The appointment of Floyd D
Browne as. special traffic operative
for Clackamas and a part of Marion
county has been announced by- T. a.
Raffetyr chief inspector of the state
motor vehicle department. Browne
who is a resident of Jennings Lodge,
was formerly in the employ of the
Pacific Highway Garage here. The
problem of regulating the summer
motor vehicle traffic Is expected by
the department to be more extensive
this year than in the past.
To cope with the contemplated
condition, the chief Inspector an
nounces the dividing of the state into
11 districts and the assigning of a
special operative to each district. The
scheme as outlined by the state traf
fic department is the most extensive
highway patrol service ever attempt
ed by the state.
Mr. Raffetv said that courtesy to
the public is one of the chief re
quirements demanded by his depart
ment. Each operative has been warn
ed to obey the laws and render as-.j
sistance to the traveling public when
ever possible.

KAISER SAID DEAD
That the paper making industry has
grown to be one of the chief manufac
turing industries of Oregon is a fact
weU recognized in the trade, but lit
tle known by the general public. Yet
this industry now gives employment
to over 3000 men in this locality.
The great lumber resources of the
Northwest, with wonderful water
power, have long been recognized as
ideal for paper making, and various
kinds of paper have been made here
for many years. It has, however,
been chiefly developed in the last 10
years to the present important place
that it holds.
The greatest development has tak
en place at or near Oregon City,
where the Crown-Willamette Paper
company developed two large plants
employing about 1200 men, and where
the Hawley Pulp & Paper company,
established in 1908, employs about
600 men. However other plants have
been built at Salem, at Lebanon and
at Camas, Wash., that employ alto
gether about 1200" more men.
. Power Is Plentiful
The chief reason for the large de
velopment at ; Oregon City is the
abundant water power provided there
by the falls of the Willamette river,
in addition to the water tranBporta- -tion
available, and the raw material
near at hand. .
The plant of the Hawley company
here vconsists of a wood pulp mill, a
sulphite mill, and four paper ma
chines. The plant produces news
print for newspapers, fruit wraps in
which apples, citrous fruits, etc., are
wrapped for market, paper toweling,
tissue paper and bread wraps. The
product is largely used by Pacific
coast consumers. Chough some ship
ments are made to the Philippine is
lands, and Hawaiian islands.
The Crown-Willamette company
plant at West Linn makes nothing but
news print paper .at this mill. New
paper machines were recently in
stalled, built especially for this com
pany and it has made what is be
lieved to be a world's record for news
print production, turning out on a
continuous run as high as 1000 feet
of finished peper per minute.
New Machine Added
This run was made on what are
called the new "No. 9" machines, x
About 300 tons of paper are produced
every day. Sales of this paper is
made to many of the leading1 papers
of thg Pacific coast and some ship- ...
ments are made.to the Orient.
The Crown-Willamette company
has a bag factory and paper mill at
Camas, where about 850 men are em
ployed, and where the company fills
its orders for. paper hags and wrap
pers. Here are made all sizes of pa- -
per bags from the small envelope size
to the large banana size, about five
feet long. Fruit wrappers and tissue
papers are also made at this plant.
In the last year were produced at this
plant about 100,000,000 fruit wrappers.
The company also has a smaller
plant at Lebanon for the making of
wrapping paper or various Kinds.
Here are employed about 200 men
and use two paper making machines.
High grade wrapping paper is sold
from this plant all over the West. An
other tissue mill Is operated at Floris-
ton, CaL, where about 200 men are
employed. This plant makes wrap
pers principally for the California
citrous trade.
The Salem plant of ' the Oregon
Pulp & Paper company gives employ
ment to about 200 men and operates
two paper machines.
Other paper plants in the North
west include the two large plants in
British Columbia, one at Ocean Falls,
which is one of the largest and most
