CITY TO TEST HARD
SURFACE PAVEMENT
For the purpose of making a prac
tlcal test of th merits of the
pavement as claimed by th manu
facturers, the Portland Westrumlto
company. Seventh street between
Center and - Washington streets ia
this city, a distance of on block. Is
soon tofbe paved with the new hard
surface pavement Westrumlte. The
material Is arriving and within th
next few days Contractor Harry
Jones will commence the work of
spreading It
Thla will be the first Instance
where streets on tbe hill have been
Improved by the laying of hard sur
face pavement and If the test proves
successful, it Is more than likely
that nearly all of th principal
streets will be paved in this manner.
On account of the sloping condition
of th streets, and the .rain, the city
and taxpayers have aought a demon
stratum of the wearing qualities of
the Westrumite preparation, and by
Spring they will have a definite idea
of the lasting qualities of the pave
ment.
Though Westrumite is compftra
tlvely new on the coast U la said
to be used In many of the eastern
and middle western cities St. JohnR
and Kenton are among th Oregon
communities to lay this variety of
pavement on their streets.
HISTORY OF CITY IS
MITTEN BY MRS. DYE
i Another historical sketch has been
.given to the public by Mrs. Eva
Emery Dye. . Oregon City's hoted
writer, who Is the author of "The
Conquest" "McLoughlln ' and Old
Oregon" and "McDonald of Oregon."
Her latest article Is a history or
Oregon City, which ha been pub
llshed by theS. J. Clarke Publishing
company as a part of Joseph Gaston's
"History of Portland," Just off the
press.
On account of the prominence Or
gon City enjoyed, especially In the
territorial days, the author of t!:?
new work thought that the history
of Portland would not be complete
without an article on Oregon City.
Mm. Dyo was appealed to, and the
result Is a chapter portraying ' the
early history In a' most Interesting
manner. A number of rsr old prints
are used to Illustrate th sketch

WEST DECLINES TO
CALL EXTRA SESSION
"There's not going to be any ape
cial session of the legislature to past?
good roads laws." ld Governor
Oswald West In Portland.
"I have decided that the cauwe of
good roads will be advanced rather
than checked if highway bills are
given to th lnlatlv rather than to
the legislature."
With these two sentence and a
wave of his hand Governor West
laconically dlslmissed a subj jet tbat
for two weeks has aroused deep lu
terest throughout tbe state and has
made the executive department ut
the capital a 'storm' 'center of pro
test V'
. "A special detuand for a special
session has been voiced from some
quarters," continued tbe governor.
"Many of the friends of gool
roads legislation Were ' In favor of a
special session and made as much
known to me.
"At the same time there was a
general protest against a special
session. I received an uncounted
number of . protests from every part
of the state from farmers, business
men and even many of the good
roads advocates yyere agreed that
even If a special session should be
called it would have no results.
"If a special session should result
In tbe passage of good highway laws
It might be all right but the mapor
Hy of the people as indicated by
the protests I have received, wee
opposed. ,-
"I am of the firm opinion that tho
lawa for roads should be put up to
th people. It Is a matter of the
greatest Importance, and one affect
lng the Interests of every man,
woman and child In the stat.
Therefore,. I believe tbe people
should be given the best oppor
tunlty to express their desire lu no
Important a matter. Undoubtedly
the Initiative furnishes th best
opportunity and the .people have
Indicated that thev snnrov th
Initiative rather than a special
session."
