CITY WOULD SUITER HE ASSERTS r Manufacturer Favors Open Ditch, But Thinks Ono On West Side Should Bo Purchased And Improved, That the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company, which haa almost $1,000,000 Invested here will be forced to go out of business if the proposed canal on tho east aide at tho falls Is built, was tho declaration made Friday after noon by W. P. Hawley, present of tho company. Mr. Hawley also aald that It waa probable other manufacturing plants here would bo forced to close If the route that has been surveyed Is approved. "It am In favor of an open canal." aid lAtr Hawley."bul I think it should not be built in a place where the business interests of the town aro bound to bo seriously affected. Tbe proposed route of the canal cuts right through our main plant, and its building would be our annihilation. However, wo would be amply paid, and consequently so far aa I am per sonally concerned I am not alarmed. But the closing of our plant and tbe Crown plant would put more than 300 men out of work, and the closing of others would cause the loss of em ployment to many others. It is a mat ter that should bo given careful con sideration, and the manufacturing in terests here are too large to be put In. Jeopardy." Mr. Hawley saldnnatThe lad Tioard the Portland Railway, Light 4k Power Company had offered tbe existing canal and locks on tbe west side of the river at a reasonable price, and he favored the purchase and improve ment of this property. The cost, he said, would be much less than that of building a new canal, and the old canal would answer every purpose of any that could be built. A. R. Jacobs, president of the Ore gon City Manufacturing .Company said that he favored the bnlldlng-of tho east side canal. He had not seen the blueprint showing the route and did not know what effect It would have on the buildings of the company. The proposed route, however, will make It necessary to move several frame buildings nearer the main plant, and it (s understood the work will not put the company to a great Inconvenience. Tho east side pulp plant of tho Crown Columbia Pulp & Paper Com pany, It Is said, will have to be razed in order to build the canal. Announce ment was made several days ago that the company had decided to abandon this plant and build another at Camas, Wash., where It has a patter manu facturing plant. This, however, has been denied. The company is said to have leased the property for $36, 000 a year for forty-five years from the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. WIFE "I AND Charging that his wife has been "Impudent and unreasonable in her conduct." A, Jackson Delsch, Friday -filed suit for a divorce. They were married November 23, 1909, and he says soon after she began to treat him cruelly. The plaintiff avers that his wife was jealous to the point of cruelty, and that she made Ufa burd onsome for him. He declares that she was Jealous of persons he had em ployed In his office, and of acquaint ances to whom he spoke aa he passed the"m on the street. Mr. Delsch asks the custody of their children, Bruce, one year of age, and Andrew Jackson, five years of sgo. , systemmiors makes road safe Hermann, the great prestidigitator, early In his professional career discov ered the possibilities of the mirror In his legerdemain work, and it has worked wonders with Milady in her boudoir, but it has remained for M. J. I.elle and T. L. Charman to use It as a means of saving human lives. There was a serious automobile acci dent in the tunnel under the Southern Pacific track at Fourn street several years sgo, and other accidents have been narrowly averted. There Is a treacherous turn 6 the right In the road Just after the tunnel is passed, which automobillBts fear. But Messrs. Laselle'and Charman havo solved the problem, and If the city council heeds their advice. It will not be long be fore It will be perfectly safe to make the quick turn at a sharp rate of srteed. They have arranged a system of morrors which gives a clear view of the road to persons going In cither direction. It Is really a most Ingenu ous device and Messrs. Laxolle and Charman are to be congratulated up on their cleverness. Rwad the Morning ftoterprlse. .2,500 IS SUBSCRIBED TOR WORK Scenic Beauty Declared To Excel That Of Two Other Thorough fares Automobile Acci dent Is Recalled. . 8. O. rillman, of this city, declared Friday that the Central Point Road was the most feasible route from Ore gon City to New Era for the Capital Highway. A committee appointed by tbe East Side Capjtal Highway Asso ciation recommended the River Road as tbe permanent route and the South End Road for use temporarily. Mr. Dillman aaid: "While the engineers, who were ap pointed to investigate tho roads lead ing from Oregon City to New Era. have decided upon the South" End Road temporarily, and tho Riyer Road aa a permanent route, a great many have looked over the Central Point Road ard decided it was tho easiest grade and by far a cheaper road to build. Tbe residents along the road have subscribed between $2,000 and $2,500 to build the road. As far as the scenic beauty and the farming country is concerned tho other roads aro not in a clasa with tbe Central Poln,t thoroughfare. Thla road will accommodate many more people in the southern part of the county than either Um- South-End.. Road or the River Road. "There are many persons who con demn the South End Road on account of Its passing under the culvert of the Southern Pacific railroad on Fourth street. There was a serious automo bile accident at that place last year, when two machines going in opposite direction collided. Both automobllea were badly damaged, and had it not been for the occupants Jumping from one, they would, no doubt, have been killed."" ' .
