Dlmlck's 8-hour labor bill will prob ably be railed np In the Senate Mon day on third reading and final passage. The bill which I being bitterly fought by the paper mill industry In thU State Is on the chief clerk's desk and will come up for the final vote In Its lecular order, as the committee .in labor Industries, of which trtmlck ! a member, has already made a favorable renort unon the measure, and the Sen ate has adopted th renort. The fate of the pro no Bed law Is rcmewhat In doubt although Senator Dim Irk says be Is sanguine of Its pass age thrniiKh the Senate. There Is no doubt that the bill will receive the votes or some senators who' are ut heart unfriendly to the measure, as they believe It Is class legislation and aimed at the. paner mills alone, bo these legislators have no desire ti be claimed as unfriendly to the labor in terests, snd will probably vote for the bllL H the" measure goes through the Senate, It will then go to the House where It will be referred to a com mittee. Ther Is no certainty, how. ever, that the bill will go to the House committee on labor Industrie, for n effort will be made to place It with a committee that la known to be friendly to the proposed legislation.' It Is rot known who has been select ed to champion the measure In the House. 8enator Dimlck, however, will not lose sight' or the bill when it leaves the Senate, but will follow Its course with hi usual vigor, and will see that the bill doea not become Inst sight of In the maze of legislative pro ceeding. J wo years sgo a similar measure rsssed the House, but In the Senate It fell by the wayalde. It mieht be supposed that Dimlck would consider his duty done with the bill through the Senate, but It Is ssld he will not rest on his oars after the expected per formsnce Monday, but will strain .ev ery nerve to put the measure up to Governor West for the executlv sig nature COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT T.

Todd and County Superintendent Gary, among the schools or Clackamas conn ty, has been one long continued ovation- Beginning Monday morning there has been nothing to Interfere with school visiting and many calU have boen made and each evening there has been an educational and social gathering In a school center that promised an attendance worthy the effort. There were 28 schools visited and President' Todd spoke 25 times.

JACK LODER IS .. ., BADLY INJURED BOY PLAYS. WITH A DYNAMITE CAP AND WILL PROBABLY LOSE RIGHT EYE? CREW (MESSKESS APPARENT While Parent Ar At Luncheon, Their Son' Childish CuHosity Causes Him to Play With Pow erful Explosive. Jack Loder, the only child of Attor ney and Mrs. John W. Loder, was frightfully Injured Saturday afternoon by the explosion of a dynamite cap that the little fellow found on the front porch of th Loder residence on Center street. Th fore or the ex plosion severely lacerated the right side or the boy's head and he will probably' lose the sight or his right eye and may become disfigured for life aa a result of the accident - Center street is being Improved and the 'Workmen have been using dyna mite in blasting out the rocks. Since this work has been In progress Mrs. Loder has been very careful and haa warned her aon more than once not to play In the street or to go Into al most certain danger- At 1 o'clock Saturday arternoon, while Mr. and Mrs. Loder were fin ishing their luncheon, the boy Jumped from the table and went out on the wide veranda to play. He picked up the dynamite cap and with boyish curiosity took It into the basement to Investigate. Mr. and Mrs. Loder heard a hammer pounding, and sud denly the boy uttered a terrible scream and his horror stricken par ents rushed to the scene to rind their son In agony, but conscious, and able to tell them where h found the ex plosive.,' Dr. M. C. Strickland was hurriedly summoned and the Injured lad was rushed to a Portland hospital, where his wounds received attention. It Is apparent that some one has been criminally careless in leaving a dynamite cap where It would rail into unskilled hands. It Is not known how the cap was brought to the porch, un less it had previously been placed there. There Is no susplcon, however. that harm was Intended and the un fortunate occurrence Is probably due to the carelessness of someone. UNUSUAL METHOD ADOPTED IN SENDING OUT PETITIONS TO ROAD SUPERVISORS. PROCEDURE IS RATHER REMAXXAEIE Commissioners M jit toon and Blair Not Witling to Try Now Systom Ev en in Face of Dlmlck's As tounding Statement. The fine art of moulding public sen timent la detected In the circulation -of petitions throughout Clackamas County asking the county court not to appoint a road superintendent. In vesLgatlon Saturday proved that tha petitions to the number of 35 or 40 were mailed to road supervisors snd others by George Ogleaby, supervisor , for the Marks prairie district, and Mr. Oglesby admitted that he had the pe tition printed and sent out at the sug gestion of County Commissioners Mat toon and Blair who are understood to be opposed to change In the method of constructing county roads. These petitions were received more than a week ago by many of the road supervisors and there was nothing to Indicate where they came from or by whose authority they were mailed. Several or the supervisors concluded that the county court had forwarded the petitions, and It waa then that County Judge Beatle had his first In timation of the existence of the pa pers, by receiving telephone inquiries from some or the supervisors, who wanted to know If the court desired the petition circulated. Judge Beatle quickly made an In vestigation, and about the same time Attorney H. B. Cross, who haa been foremost in urging the county court to appoint a road engineer and adopt a systematic plan of road building, ob tained a copy of one of th petitions that had been sent to Jamea Tracr, or Gladstone. It waa round today that the petitions were printed In the offlc ' -or the Valley Publishing Co., at Caaby, ror Mr. Ogleaby, who said, when called up by telephone, that his object in sending out the petitions had ba to ascertain the septlment of the anpor- . visor and farmers snd to obtain mm expression, it being expected that tho supervisor would place the petitions in circulation and file them with th county court at the time of filing their monthly road reports next Wednesday. Mr. Oglesby stated that th com missioners had some knowledge of the transaction. It Is thought likely that tne petitions were prompted by in effort that has been made her for aeveral weeks by the Live Wire to Induce the county court to name a competent road mas ter and to abandon the systom that has been In vogue for a number of years, under which th 55 supervisors are a sort of law unto themselves and ' do not work Under general supervis ion or by any concerted plan. Mr. Cross was appointed chairman of a committee of the Live Wires to pre sent the matter to the court, and few weeks ago Commissioners Mat toon and Blair met with th Live Wires and listened to arguments for the appointment of a road engineer and the adoption of a sensible system of permanent road construction. Noth ing definite came of thla meeting, ror the two ffwimlasioners were rather noncommittal and were not willing to go on record as changing the present so-called system. . , It waa at .this meeting that Formor County Judge Grant B. Dimlck made the astounding statement that during his four years' administration that haa Just ended, at leaBt one-fourth of all the road money expended had been practically wasted, because of the lack of system, and that his attempt to obtain the appointment or a road en-.( glneer one year ago had been resisted by Commissioners Lewellen and Mat toon, who did not share his views a , to road construction.
