The Oregon Good Roads Association
la sending out the following bulletins:
Whether or not the State Legisla
ture provides Oregon with a plan for
systematic highway construction the
Oregon Good Roads Association be
lieves that during the last year more
has been actually accomplished to
ward permanent making of good roads
than during any other period In the
State's blstJry. Thla la because of tha
widespread conviction . which It haa
Iteen possible to obtain that Oregon's
first and greatest development need
Is good roads construction.
One of the most potent factors for
the dissemination of educational mat
ter leading up to the general convic
tion df good roads need haa been
the out-atate papers (membera of the
association.) Discussions of the need
of better built highways, and of the
plan for aecurlng them have. In the
papers referred to, been full and free
and frank and effective.
The Oregon Good Roada Association
doea pot Intend to give up the fight
for highway construction whether the
good roada lawa aa adopted by the
legislature are aatiBfactory or not.
The leaders . of Ue organization be
lieve that with the help of the State
prtaa and the progressive cltlr.enshlp
unofficial promotion of the good roada
cause will be effective and desirable
either In conjunction with the enforce
ment of auch lawa as may be passed,
or if the lawa are not passed tha un
official plan It la believed will be even
more effective than legislation.

NOT ONLY SIGNS OF OIL, BUT OIL
IT8ELF IS BROUGHT TO
THE SURFACE.

well preparatory to descending further
Into the bowels tf Mother Earth.
With each bucket of aand lifted
came signs of oil and In many cases
there waa oil Itself. The Indications
were So marked and numerous that
the stockholders In the well who were
on the ground to aee what waa doing
became very enthuslaatic over the
showing. There la oil In quantity, of
that the drillers are certain, the ques
tion yet to aettle la, haa It been found
In paying quantities
As eoon aa the remaining debrta Is
removed from the well. In caae the
owners are not satisfied with the
quantity shown, the drill will again

much more oil In sight than at any
time before. The stockholders, too,
are jnore aacgulne than at any pre

after due consideration, reported the
matter back to Council Wednesday

cil Instructed the City Attorney to

8. Prohibit gambling in such li

SO. All licensed pool rooms moat
close at 10 o'clock p. m. and must be
on ground floor. .
21. Drug stores must sell only on
physician's prescription.
22. No dice or games of chance al
lowed in any store.
There was very little expression of
opinion by Council on any topic In the
within suggestions, simply a caae of
permitting the City Attorney to draw
an ordinance In accord with the sug
gestions of the special committee and
leaving the discussion and amends
tlona to the time when tba ordinance
shall come up for passage. Little waa
said to Indicate where the aeveral
Council men stood aa to favoring or op
posing the suggestions.
Many things In the proposed ordin
ance are favored by the better class
of saloon men and It la not thought
there will be much opposition from
that aource In case the new ordinance
doea really conform to the suggestions
outlined above.

ABUTTING LOS
ON NINTH STREET
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH HAS
TITLE TO THEM, DEEDEO BY
REV. ATKINSON'S HEIBS.
CITY ATTOY WHS CUfl GOT
Church's Attorney - Refuses a to B
Wiped Off the Map By
the City Attor
ney. 'The question of the "ownership of
the 30 foot strip of land abutting Ninth
street, and facing on Madison and J.
Q. Adams streets, which Is now
claimed by the Congregational church,
waa the aubject of much comment yes
terday. After almmerlng the matter
down -as- far as possible the aitttat
seema about aa follows:
Rev. Atkinson aold a half block to
the church for $1, and the deed calls
for the block from the atreet line
assuming the street to be 60 feet wide.
Later the street committee, believing
the atreet Is 60 feet wide, ordered the
street Improved. The lot owned by
the Congregational church waa as
sessed for benefits, as were other lota
aituated the same'way. But the own
ers of the other lota In that neighbor
hood owned to the middle of the atreet
and In the settlement the city waa to
pay these owners $200 each and de
duct the benefits, which were but a
part of this sum. ' Aa the church had
no deed for the 30 feet In the atreet it
waa taken for granted that It waa the
property of the city.
But aa soon as the assessment waa
set against the church property, and
the rebate made kown for atreet pur
chase. It Is avered that membera of
the church bustled out and took over
on deed the 30 feet In the street, about
which there Is now some dispute.
The report of the City Attorney,
advising the Council to gar ahead and
pay no attention to the claim made
by the church, is an Indication that
he thinks this eleventh-hour poaaea-'v
s ion of the atrip in dispute Is a anap'l
Judgment matter, and that he la of
opinion that It cannot be maintained ,
In the courta.
1 The attorney for the church, C. H.
Dye, a vera that the claim of the City
Attorney that . Rev. Atkinson moat -have
Intended to give, the strip o the
city is of little moment In caae there
la no title shown, and that 1t In no
way heads off the claims of Mr. Atkin
son's heirs, who are the ones selling -to
the church at tbla time. -
There Is little doubt that the church
feels that It does not care to pay fat
damages to other people In the same)
neighborhood and then have . 30 feet
taken from their lot and an additional
assessment levied for the work.
Mr. Dye says that In case Rer. At
kinson forgot that he owned the land
to the center of the street, and did not
for that reason convey it. In no way
estops his successors from conveying "...
It; and the fact that he did not at any
time convey It doea not argue aa to
what waa In his mind In the matter;
and If be did have something In his
mind In the matter and forgot or nag'
lected to carry it out doea not make
it Impossible for hla heirs to act as
they aee fit in the matter, and without
reference to hla promlaes or, his In-"
tentlons. . ,
Prospects for a fight In court are
good, and It is likely to be a good '
fight. The church doea not Intend to
be Improved out of Its property If It
can help It. Mr. Dye haa -no orders
for future action, but will report and
then wait action of those having la.
charge thla matter of church business.
