After reviewing the trust record of Colonel Roosevelt, Senator La Fol lette declared that the former Presi dent was "not the man to find the way out now." He said that when the Re publican party, through its progres sive associates had reached a point where it would "respond to the pur poses for which it was born," an at tempt was made at Chicago to divert it. Senator Stone asked Mr. La Fol lette whether he meant the nomina tion of President Taft or the nomina tion of former President Roosevelt. "I am surprised," began Senator La Follette, "that I left the Senator from Missouri in doubt. I hope I did not leave doubt in the mind of anyone else." Then, moving down the center aisle, he continued: "On the day that Theodore- Roose velt was made President of the Unit ed States there were 149 trusts and combinations in the United States. When he turned this Government ov er to William Howard Taft there were 10,020 plants in combination. When he became President the trusts had an aggregate capitalization of three bil lion dollars and when he left the Pres idency they had an aggregate capital ization of thirty-one billion and more than 70 per cent of its was water.

Many of the persons owning property on the street have objected to its being hardsur faced, alleging that the cost would be too great. The committee on streets reported that the sreet be repaired with macadam in the belief that the property owners next. year would fa vor the laying of a hardsurface pave ment. A definite decision will be made at the next regular meeting of the board. Attention has been called to the fact that the hardsurfacing of the street would cost only about twice as much as the repairs desired. - A resolution providing that an or dinance for a sewer for the north end of the city to cost about $40,000 be prepared was adopted. Many prop erty owners have asked that the sew er be built and the council will pass upon the propostion in a few weeks. The street committee suggested that all concrete sidewalks be alike, the same width, color, etc.- It was suggested that the pavements be col ored, so as not to be injurious to the eyes. The council, however, was in formed that lampblack, which is us ed hi coloring the sidewalks injured the cement and caused it to disinte grate. The subject was discussed at length without any action being tak en. The improvement of lower Wash ington street by. the Oregon Engineer ing & Construction Company was ap proved. After the settling of a fill the company brought the grade to the desired level. PHOTO BY MATZENE.

Distrit At torney Fredericks did not conclude his final argument for the prosecution un til 4:40 o'clock this afternoon and Judge Hutton announced that because of the lateness of the hour he would not deliver instructions to the jury un til tomorrow. District Attorney Fredericks closed his argument, which had extended through a day and a half, by urging the jurors to convict the Chicago lawyer,- to set aside their sympathy for him and, by finding him guilty, put an end forever to the corruption of jur ies. "If by reason of his age," he said, "or for any other reason, you think he is entitled to consideration or clem ency, let the court extend it. "Gentlemen, I leave it with you and your God.

VALUABLE I RELICS (Continued on page 4) While workmen were excavating for the sawmill of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company on the west side, they unearthed Indian relics of much val ue. George H .Young, dealer in rel ics, has purchased many of them, which include beads, wampum, and a bayonet, probably sold to the Indians by the Hudson Bay Company. The skeletons of three Indians war riors were unearthed. It is probable that many of the Indians who died after the whites came to Oregon and before are buried in that locality.
