an ordor to the County Treasurer to
set aside funds to cover half the ex
pense of the construction of a bridge
across the Willamette River at New
burg, to be used provided that Yam

With a good permanent road already

to Portland, the Portland-to-Salem
highway Is assured. This highway Is
to be constructed Irrespective of one

panion to whom be made payable two
life Insurance policies, aggregating
$5,000, M. O. Wllklns, a Portland

mdaythatMt'wma-probabHS be-remains,
which, were Interred In Rlr
ervlew Cemetery, Portland, would be
exhumed In order that a legal Identi
fication could be made. T" "
According, to the lawyer- Mr. Cum.
mlngs was a nephew of one of the
largest stockholders' In the Old a mo
bile Automobile Company, and, as a
result his daughter, who is with ber
mother, is heiress to a large estate.
In order for her to obtain this prop

The lawyer says he has learned that
Cummlngs took out two life Insurance
policies in Portland, making tnem

The day after Cummlngs was killed
the- body waa ordered taken to an
undertaking establishment In Port
land by a woman supposed to be his
widow, and the following day It waa
burled in Riverview Cemetery. The
real Mrs. Cummlngs, Mr. Wllklns
says, did not know anything about
her husband's death until she read of
It In an old newspaper. Then she
employed the lawyer and he began
his Investigation. It was not until
Friday that he learned where the
body had been burled.
Body May Be Exhumed.
"I am not positive whether it will
be necessary to exhume the body,"
said Mr. Wllklns. "but there Is a pos
sibility that this will have to be done.
We shall fight the payment of the
Insurance money to any one but the
widow of the dead man, and we shall
Kurt.iniv make every effort to protect
the Interests of the daughter, who
becomes heiress to a share in the
estate of her father' aunt. How
much this will amount to I' do not
know, but It may be a considerable
sum."
Cummiags formerly lived in the
East and his family Is said to have
been wealthy. He was a demonstra
tor for the Speedwell - Company in
Portland for several months, but lost
his position a few daya before the
accident which cost hlra his life. L.
H. Young, a farmer of Damascus, was
killed at the same time, and Fred
erlch Kummer, also of Damascus, the

SENTIMENT OF CITIZENS ON
$754,000 PUBLIC WORK.
ENGINEERS TO EE GIVEN ICEFCIT
Government Will Abandon Enter
prl.e. It I Said, If Resident
Oppos Rout On '
East Sid.
To learn the sentiment In this city '
regarding the building of the canal
on the east side, around the Fall of
the Willamette. President Hedge of
the Commercial Club, baa called
meeting of citizen for 4 o'clock this
afternoon at the Commercial Club. It
will be one of the moat Important
meetings ever held In this city, and a
lively debate is expected.
Mr. Hedge has taken thia action
because of the persistent rumor for
the past week that the resident of
the cliydoJ!onrant the canal cm tbr:
east aide. Representatives of th '
United State Engineering Depart
ment will be In the city Monday, and
It la the desire of th management o
the club to give them a record of the
wishes of the people, that the govern
ment may be fully informed before
the work Is started.
Millmen Fear CanaL -
W. P. Hawley, . president of the
Hawley Pulp aV Paper Company,
while favoring an open canal, haa an
nounced that the building of the ca
nal- onghe-oute-opoaeiL.-Wlll BQ
interfere wun me duihct m uw
company that it will discontinue op
eration, and, it Is, said, the officer of
other mill fearthe proposed worka
will greatly hamper their buslneaa.
On the other band, it Is contended by .
representative citizens, that the work:
will be of little, if any inconvenience
to the mills, and the benefit to tha
rltT will be so treat that all patriotic
citizens should do everything possi
ble to obtain tbe canai on me east
side.
Representative of the government,
who have been here, have Intimated
that under no consideration will the
existing canal and locks on the west
side, owned by the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, be purchas
ed by the government. It la aald if
the canal la not built on th east
side nothing will be done, and the
$300,000 appropriation by the state
and an appropriation of the same
amount by the United Statea govern. v
ment will not be used.
Meeting To Be Exciting.
The officers of all the mills that .
will be affected by the canal have
been Invited to attend the meeting,
and, it Is understood, that some of
them will have their attorneys attend
with them. That the meeting will
be ene of the most exciting ever held
In this city is conceded.
It waa largely through the effort
of the Commercial Club that the big
appropriations were obtained, and the
majority of the members favor the
building of the canal on the east side.
The work will cost about 1754.000,
and It 1 thought the government will, .
in another appropriation, supply the
money necessary for the completion
of the project Much of this money
will be spent in Oregon City, and the
retail dealer especially are anxious
that the work be started as soon aa
possible.
City Engineer Noble, who has been
Investigating the canal plana for the
city, declares the route will not ser
iously affect the mills. L B. Thom
son, the government engineer In
.him nt tha nrorjoned work, told Mr.
Noble Friday that It was Immaterial
to the government whether the canal
Is built, and If the agttatlon against
It is continued the project probably
will be abandoned.
