GIGANTIC
SEWER
WORK IS OUTLINED
COUNCIL HEARS EXPERT REPORT
ON RROPOSED SEVENTH ST.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
236 ACRES INCLUDED EOR $54,069
Robert Dieck Describes How lm
provement May Best be In
stalled, so Economy and
Utility Will Result
A detailed report on the problem
of draining property adjacent to Sev
enth street, and tlie territory beyond
lying at the top of the hill, through
a trunk sewer system, was made to
the council Wednesday night by Rob
ert Cr. Dieck, the consulting expert en
gaged by the city, to prepare plans
for this work. The district to be
drained is officially known as .sewer
district No. 10, and extends from
' along the creek havng its outfall in
to Abernathy creek, MieLoughlin ave
nue, the city limits, and the bounds of
former districts already established.
The total length of sewer required,
from the river at Fourteenth street to
Molalla avenue is approximately S.500
feet.
The area to be drained approxi
mates 236 acres, of which about 180
lie north of Division street and 56
acres to the south. In preparing
plans, Mr. Dieck has assumed that
trunk sewer constructiono will be car
ried back from an outlet in the river
to Division street, with branches run
nng beyond that point to care for sev
eral sub-districts. In order to expe
dite the improvement of Seventh
street, Mr. Dieck has also included in
p an the draining of that thoroughfare
irom Molalla avenue to High street.
In reviewing conditions, the report
set forth the interesting inofrmation
that a previous estimate by Mr. Mont
gomery appeared in the light of later
investigations to be much too high,
and that the Montgomery plan also
"failed to care for sufficient laterals'.
In preparing his scheme for the work
Mr. Dieck has outlined a sewer sys
tem that will be capable of earing for
storm discharges of maximum rain--fall
for one and a half hours without
strain or flooding the maximum be
ing figured as a fa 1 of an inch and a
half an hour, which is granting plenty
of margin. This allowance has been j
made because of the steep grades in j
much of the territory, which largely j
add to the amount of surface water to '
be cared for in storms. The sewer, as '
planned, will be able to discharge in-:
to the river 170 cubic feet of fluid
per second when working at its great
est capacity.
In his report Mr. Dieck said in
part:
'There is no question that the main
sewer must be constructed in tie bed
of the canyon from Fourteenth and
John Adamas' street, but beyond that
point several locations are possible.
The shortest distance from this point
is to an outfall at the foot of John
Adamas' street into Abernathy creek.
The city, however, would be forced to
construct an intercepting sewer to di
vert the flow into running water, at
a arge cost. The outfall must there
fore, tie on the Willamette river,
either directly at Fourteenth street,
diagonally across private land to an
outfall at Fifteenth street, or along
John Adams' stret to Fifteenth street,
and then directly to the river."
In discussing this problem, Mr.
Dieck reviews the values of the dif
ferent routes at great length, and con
cludes that tlie best location for an
outlet would be at the foot of Four
teenth street, and estimates have been
prepared with such an end in view.
The outlet is designed to be sub
merged at all times, both for sanitary
reasons and for appearances. The
detai s of the upper sewer system are
carefully worked out along several
possible lines. The average cutting
necessary for the sewer is declared to
be eight feet, though on certain por
tions of Seventh street a ten-foot cut
will be necessary. In the plans,
glazed terracotta piping is provided
for points in smaller sections where
wear will occur from silt, and in the
larger sewer it is planned to use a
special facing of glazefl b'ocks.
The total costs of the several pos
sible plans are set forth in detail.
The two plans most favored by the
consulting engineer will call for an
outlay of $54,069 and $35,983. The
first will embrace an area of 236
acres, while the second will care for
but 196 acres. . The first will mean
a property cost of about $447 per
acre, while the second, owing to pe
culiar construction necessary, will
cost $415 an acre. The engineer has
left it with the council which
scheme shall be adopted. Alterna
tive plans are also submitted in de
tail. To make use of the general plan,
costing $54,069 property owners will
have to reach an agreement with the
city in regard to certain details of the
work, and the manner in which por
tions of other districts are to be con
nected up with the trunk sewer. It
is thought that such p ans can be
made satisfactorily. The estimates
submitted are 35 per cent above what
may be expected in actual cost of the
work, so as to allow for contingencies,

MANY FEATURES ARE ADDED AT
LAST MINUTE TO INCREASE
ENTERTAINMENT
PARADE SCHEDULE IS INCREASED
Two Great Pageants Each Day Is Lat
est Plan Desire of Managers
to Give Visitors Best Time
of Lives
General amplification of Booster
Day features was determined upon
by Commercial c ub committees Wed
nesday, with the result that practical
ly the entire program of features and
festivities has been changed. Be
cause of this the celebration will be
bigger better and busier this year than
was even anticipated, and there will
not be a dull moment during the two
days of the week that will be de
voted to the annual Stock Show and
ifs allied merry-making.
The opening gun in the bombard
ment of gala features will be fired
at 10:30 a. m. Friday morning, when
the big stock parade will start on its
way through the business section of
the city. Not only will the finest of
Clackamas county farm animals be
seen in this parade, but there will
be floats and marching bodies decorat
ed and built by local fraternal and
trades organizations that wil be as
unique as anything ever seen here be
fore. Prominent among these latter
featurs will be detachments from the
Loyal Order of Moose, the Macabees
and the Bobbie Burns society, as well
as a big turn out of the "Oregon Na
tiona1 Guard.
Friday, afternoon .according to the
revised plans,- the school children's
parade will be held. It had been orig
inally scheduled for Saturday after
noon, out desiring to give the young
sters an uninterrupted holiday on Sat
urday, the parade has been brought
forward. Over 1,000 , children from
Oregon City schools will be in line,
and while on the march they will per
form various evolutions. Except in
numbers, it is expected that the chi
dren's pageant will surpass the fam
ous "Rosebud parade" held in Port
land each year as a feature of the
Rose festival. The youngsters will
form in line immediately upon dis
missal from school, and the parade
will get under way promptly at two
o'clock.
Following the parade there will be
a work out between hose companies of
the city. The difficult "New York
test" of making a run, coup ing up
hose, playing, uncoupling r.nd rscoupl-
ing, playing again and returning to
station will be put on, as well as the
simpler water test. At the close of j
the firemen's contest there will prob-!
ably be a water battle between the I
rival companies.
Friday night there will be general
merry-making and' carnival featuresk
on the streets, in which the greatest
leniency v i 1 be allowed by the police,
though no -rough' tactics will be per
mitted. ' - '
Under the new schedule there will
be a second livestock parade Saturday
morning, with augmentedej'eatures in
the line of floats and specialties. Sat
urday afternoon will be held, the dec
orated automobile parade, and in the
later afternoon there will be a base
ball game between Oregon City and
Canby.
Saturday evening, the closing hours
of the ce ebration will be observed by
a monster Booster Day dance in
Busch's hall, given by Jack Frost and
Henry Edwards. This dance will be
the most elaborate affair of its kind
ever put on here, and arrangements
are now being completed for an aug
mented orchestra .to furnish music
Everyone is invited to the dance, and
it is expected that the big pavilion
overlooking the river will be crowded
to its utmost capacity. Messrs.
Frost and Edwards guarantee that
the best of order will prevail at the
dance, and entertainment of the
classiest kind will be provided.
The big stock parade details for Fri
day morning have all been completed,
under the ski lful guidance of Grand
Marshall A. L. Geatie and his aides,
Messrs. Wm. Ruconich, H. W. Strei

With over three and arhalf million
votes to his credit, George Batdorf, of
Willamette, retains his lead in the
Huntley automobi'e contest, which
closes next Thursday, May first.
Frank Whiteman the popular mail
man on R. T D. No. 2, is second, and
the King's Daughters have a tight grip
on third place. From all appearances
the race lies between these three can
didates, and the battle is one in dead
earnest among them. The friends of
each are freely predicting that their
favorite candidate will surely land
the big Howard automobile, but'the
result is, of course, a mater of con
jecture.
- The final count of votes wil! prob
ably be made in the Commercial club,
and will be open to the general pub
lic. Three prominent citizens will ba
asked to make the final canvass of
votes.
The rivalry between the two lead
ing candidates has been keen from
ti;e inaugratioa of the contest, but
has been of a friendly nature. Bat
dorf has proven a most formidable
entrant, but the many friends of
Whiteman on route No. 2, freely pre
dict that they will have auto delivery
service after May the first, as White
man promises to usa the car on the
route in case he is declared the win
ner. . By united action the King's Daugh
ters cor.!. 1 no uor.i t set up a winning
campaign, but this would require im
mediate action as the time is exceed
ingly limited.
The Big Howard touring car, which
is the grand prize of the contest was
driven to Canby last Sunday, and
proved a splendid machine in every
particular. The many "hills to be
found on the newly discovered route
to Canby were as accessible to the
big machine as were the few stretches
of leverroad.'
The big Howard will take a prom
inent part in the Booster automobidle
parade Saturday.
The Enterprise is the official con
test newspaper and contains all the
important announcements regarding
the contest.
CARNIVAL STUNTS .
ARRIVE IN TOWN
The equipment of the Arnold Carni
val company arrived in the city Wed
nesday morning from Portland, the
winter quarters of the outfit. Mr.
Arnold stated that he did not bring
much of the concern's equipment, be
cause there are no suitable p aces
near the business section of the city
to accomodate the shows. Mr. Arnold
has brought a meryy-go-round, a Fer
ris wheel and the high dive. The Fer
ris wheel will be erected on Sixth
street, the merry-go-round on Fifth
street, and the high dive on Seventh
street. Mr. Arnold has also provided
a number of tents for the use of the
committee. The tents will be used
fo" housing the stock.
Captain Henry Kerns will make the
high dive of 94 feet.
The Arnold company has exhibited
in this city before and has given gen
eral satisfaction, every time it has
appeared here,.

TO FREEDOM IN NIGHT

Charles Bennett and Harry Walters
Execute Neat Getaway, Utiliz
ing Knives and Saw Tem
pered in Stove
Charles Bennett and Harry Walters,
both inmates of the Clackamas county
jar, escaped Tuesday evening, and
have not been apprenhended. The
men, who were both serving year sen
tences, were confined in cells be
neath the tax collecting . office. Ac
cording to other prisoners, who did
not make their escape, the men took
pocket knives and small pieces of
iron, whicii they heated in a stove,
and then proceeded to bore holes
through the wooden ceiling, and also
through the floor of the tax co.lect
or's office. The blade of the buck
saw, which had been used in sawing
wood, v.as taken from the framework
or s office. The blade - of a buck
and a iiola about 18 by 24 inches was
sawed out through two thicknesses of
flooring.
The two prisoners climbed out, and
thence went through the office and
out of a window irn the open. No
attempt was made to take gun's or
other weapons, which were in the
sueriif's office adjoining, and in easy
i reaca ofr the men. Otner prisoners
made n0 attempt to escape.
The break was rot discovered until
Wednesday morning,'- when the jani
tor noticed the nolo.
Bennett was serving the fourta
month of a year's sentence. He was -convicted
of stealing diamonds and
other valuab.es from employees of the
Clackamas Southern railroad. Wal
lace was serving a year's term, being
convicted of contributing to the de
linquency of a minor. At the time
of nis sentence he was given parole
which he broke in Salem about a
month ago.
Other prisoners in the jail say the
break was made about nine o'clock,
hut the authorities discredit this
story, as it is believed that at such an
early hour the noisp made in cutting
through the floor would have been
heard on the street by passersby. It
is thought that the two man made
their getaway when one of tne night
trains was at the depot, knowing that
at such a time tne night patrolmen
would be at the station, and that they
thus would have a clear field.
ACTION ON PAVING
7TH STREET WAITS
Aside from, the Consideration of
plans for the Seventh street drainage
system, vveunesaay night's council
session was a reasonably tame and
quiet affair. There was none of the
fireworks that have enlivened recent
meetings, and even Councilman Tocze
seemed to take less interest in the
proceedings tiian usual.1' It is true
that Mr. Tooze was on his feet about
as much as usual, but most of the
time he merely rose to ask questions
that would shed further light uuon
j matters under discussion. There was
barely a quorum present, and this
added somewhat to the eerenity of the
occasion, for the warring factions
i were without leaders
j Plans and specifications for the im-
provement with hard surface paving
j of Seventh street were submitted, but
action on the matter -was deferred un
til the sewer question was settled.
There was also a display of paving
bricks, and property owners and coun
cilmen joined in a discussion of vari
ous forms of hard surface material.
Routine matters were taken up, and
went mostly to committees.
A final quietus was placed upon
the saloon question that has lately
disturbed the council by a report from
City Attorney Wilson, who informed
the lawmakers that the city could not
grant special short-term licenses to
three saloonmen recenty denied li
censes, and who added the informa
tion that if these men still retained
their federal1 license they could sell
liquors in quantities of not less than
one gallon nor over four and seven
eighths gallons, provided the matter
was not absorbed on the-premises or
resold later.
