SEVENTH STREET OWNERS DIS
CUSS IMPROVEMENT WITH
CITY COUNCILMEN
QUORUM FAILS TO BE PRESENT
Many People Interested Desire Ma
cadam be Repaired and Perma-'
nent Betterment Post
poned Until Later
If the present plans of the city
council are carried out, there will be
n0 hard surface improvement upon,
Seventh street for some time to come,
and repairs will be made with maca
am. At a meeting of members of the
council and a party of property own
ers along the street, held in the coun
cil chamber Wednesday evening, the
attitude of most of the property own
ers was discussed. Answers in return
to. the communication sent out by the
city recorder asking the attitude of
the property owners were returned to
the council by almost al of those in
terested from Center to Jackson
streets.
Along this section of the street
many of the resident owners objected
to the improvement with hard surface
and with one exception the none-ras
ident property owners only wished re
pairs. Of the owners along the street
who conduct places of business, all
hut two or three are in favor of hard
surface.
Those wanting hard surface with a
brick center are: F. H. Cross, W. L.
Little, Duane C. Ely, George Ely, Per
cy Caufield, Mrs. F. A. Ely, Th3 Pres
byterian church and W. A. Long. Mrs.
Mary Thomnsoon is willing to con
form to the will of the majority. She
is a non-resident. II. S. Stevens be
lieves sewers should be placed down
first, and then the street temporarily
repaired with crushed rock until the
ground is settled, when a permanent
improvement can be made.
Those wishing a -macadam repair
on the street are: The Welch Estate,
non-resident owners, Henrietta Wis
hart. Mrs. Matilda Charman, Mrs. Jes
sie Cooke, Mrs. M. M. Cross (opposed
to feard surface), J. H. Mattley (op
posed to hard surface of any kind),
Mrs. Summer, Jack & Albright (want
macadam on same street bed), Chas.
Caufield, Mrs. Francis Welch. Mrs.
Mary E. Strickland, Henry Schoen
born. August Schoenborn, H. Grasier,
Sarah Hughes estate, Mrs. Elizabeth
Shively, Mrs. Ann Jones, T. L. Char
man and George Reddaway.
There not being a quorum present,
the council could take no definite
sten, but the city engineer will pre
pare nlans for the macadam resurfac
ing of the street from High street to
Molalla avenue.
All of the city councilmen were
in favor of hard surfacing of the
street, believing that it the best and
hoonoat Tnpthnrl of imnrovement. but
they all believed if the majority of
the property owners were not in fa
vor of hard surface it should not be
placed.
Councilman Tooze stated that he
had made several trips to Portland
with R. L. Holman. and with Chief
City Engineer Hurlburt, of Portland,
"bad made trips of inspection to the
out-lying districts of Portland. Mr.
Hurlburt showed the various kinds of
pavement in use to ths councilmen.
In regards to macadam. Mr. Hurl
burt said that at the end of the first
year, one-tenth of the original cost of
the street would have to be "paid out
for repairs, and so on every year. He
said -that in ten years as much money
was spent upon macadam streets as
they originally cost. As Mr. Tooze
stated, he thought this estimate was
a trifle high, and so made inquiries
elsewhere, but all engineers substan
tiated tha statement made by Mr.
Hurlburt.
BIRD TALK SCHEDULED
Much interest is being manifested
in the talk of William Lord upon
"Oregon Birds," which will be deliver
ed in the high school auditorium Fri
day evening at eight o'clock. Mr.

lore, and is especially familiar with

SUJRMEIBT'EIR & ANDRE8EN,
ENGLISH SUFFRAGISTS PLACED
UNDER ARRESTS AT RAID
BY DETECTIVE FORCES
DANGEROUS CONSPIRACY CHARGED
Following Seizure of Headquarters,
Women PrePare for Even More
Startling Campaign Than
Yet Conducted
LONDON, April 30. The arrest of
eight women, charged with '.'conspir
ing to bring about a state of affairs
which is dangerous to the civilized
portion of the community in the
British Isles" is the latest move on
the part of the government to" put
dowu militant suffragism in England.
The arrests were brought about this
afternoon by a detachment of police
and Scotland Yard detectives, who
raided the headquarters of the Wom
en's Social and Political union, and
took into custody everybody in the
place with the exception of typists
and clerks. These were ordered to
vacate the premises, and to stay
away.
Following the raid all persons were
seized, the rooms locked and sealed,
and, a cordon of police left on guard.
Following the arrests of the women,
Arthur Bodkin, prosecutor for the
crown, issued the following state
ment: "I desire to give fair public warning
thit if any person makes a speech in
encouragement of this abuse, pro
ceedings will be taken against the
speaker. If any printer prints or pub
lishes literature originating from the
Woman's Social and Political Union,
he may find himself in a very awk
ward position. If those who have
money cannot find a better use for
it than giving it to this organization
for the commission of crime they will
be prosecuted."
The arrests, instead of frightening
the militant leaders, have moved them
to greater activity, and tonight de
tectives ' report that many meetings
are being held at which plans are be
ing made for a move of vengeance up
on the government. Some of the
meeing have beeji broken up and the
women attending them placed in cus
tody. There is every indication that
both sides will go to the furthest
steps in a conflict that is believed has
but just started.

Gladstone is pushing rapidly ahead
with street improvement work, and
now that preliminary rock grading
has been completed, and summer
weather is setting in, sJdewalking will
be plo'.ed with all speed. Everything
is now ready for the laying of side
walks on Dartmouth street from the
interurban station to the county road
at the Chatauqua grounds, and this
improvement will probably be com
pleted before the annual sessions
start in Gladstone" park.
Sidewalking will also be laid this
summer on Arlington street from the
river road to the city limits, and on
Herford street for a considerable dis
tance. The sidewalking of Portland
avenue, on which the interurban
tracks run, is also on the program,
and with this the street will be
bought to grade.
Board .sidewalks will be usied in
most of the work, although certain
property owners have already laid ce
ment walks in front of their lots, and
others have declared their intention
of putting down permanent improve
ment. The city will not undertake
permanent work of this nature until
the drainage system for the streets
has been installed.

Active construction and extension
of the Clackamas Southern railroad
has been resumed, and Tuesday a car
load of rails was sent out on the line.
The rain Tuesday and Wednesday in
terfered with actual track laying, but
full crews of men are on hand, and
as soons as the rain ceases so that
the work can be pushed ahead, the
rails will go down. Extension of the
line to Beaver Creek, and installation
of service, has been promised by tb.3
company by June, and officials are
anxious to keep their word with the
people of the new district which the
road will tap.
Grant B. Dimick, secretary of the
company, said. Wednesday night that
the only thing hindering rapid pro
gress on the work at present was the
weather.
"It seems as if every time we start
ed in to do something it rains," said
Mr. Dimick. "We have plenty of men
on hand to handle things, and will get
more if it becomes necessary. Grad
ing is progressing rapidly, and all we
want is weather that wil let us get
the iron down. Ballasting will follow
rapidly, and it will not take long to.
tamp material down so that service
can be put on. The people along the
line are anxiously awaiting service,
and we are just as anxious to give it
to them, for there is all the business
that the road can handle waiting -for
us. I don't believe it can rain much
longer; in fact, we are ready to go
ahead laying rail just as soon as we
get a decent sunny morning too dry
out the surface a little."
TO MAKE "FOURTH" PLANS
There will be a meeting of the
Gladstone Commercial club Thursday i
evening in the rooms of the organiza
tion. Perfection of plans for the an
nual Fourth of July picnic will be
taken up, among other matters. It is
hoped that all members and others
interested in arranging a "safe and
sane" celebration of the nation's
birthday v.-ill be on hand.

ON AND AFTER JUNE 1
CHADGE RESULT OF "AWARD PLAN'
Employees, Through Oton Efforts,
Win Shorter Time at Machine.
Legislation Not Basis
of Change
The dream of Oregon City paper
mill employees is at last realized. For
25 years the plants at Oregon City
have been operating upon a two-shift
basis, the employees on the machines
working on an average of 12 hours
per day, six days per week, the same
as in all the mills throughout the
world. One of the mill managers stat
ed today:
"For a number of years we have
been endeavoring to so equip our
plant that a change to the eight-hour
shift would be possible at rates of
wages about equal to those ruling on
the 12-hour basis, but each year has
brought about changes in a political
way which have added greater bur
dens upon the employer, to the ulti
mate loss of the employee in wiose
behalf the legislation was supposed to
be directed, but, if the truth were
known, to further their own political
ambitions.
"The last legislature passed an ab
surd law. Representative Schuebel's
house bill 38, which is another in
stance of hindrance, rather than aid
for the employee. This law states, in
effect, that anyone who works over
10 hours is not a good citizen and of
no use to the emmunity, but that if
he is paid more for time over 10
hours, the longer hours of work are
not harmful. This ia certainly a slur
upon the citizens of Clackamas coun
ty, many of whom have worked an
average of 12 hours per day all their
working days.
"Our decision to change to the
three-shift basis is the direct result of
the reward system started some two
years ago, which, by bringing about a
plan of individual and combined ef
fort on the part of our employees, has
shown that a great portion of the
extra expense can be taken care of.
The men, therefore', have by their own
efforts and good work earned the re
duction in hours, and with the re
ward system, their new hourly rates
with equally good results to those of
the past, will be the equal of or bet
ter than the present rates on. the two
shift basis. No one will receive less
than J2.00 for eight-hour work, while,
of course, a large proportion will be
far above this."
The change to the eight-hour shifts
will be made in the Willamette Pulp
& Paper mills, and in the Crown mills
on June 1. In all probability other
companies will follow suit, and the
shorter- working day will become gen
eral in the community.

Grant B. Dimick Tells People of Re
gion that Individual Effort Must
be Used as Aid to
Help Development
George H. -Gregory, the expert tea
sel grower of Molalla, called Wednes
day and reported the successful meet
ing held by the citizens of Molalla
and surounding country Tuesday
evening, at which time they organ
ized one of the liveliest and most up-to-date
Commercial clubs in. Clack
amas county.
People came from all sections of
the Molalla country for the purpose of
rendering assistance in the organiza
tion of a club that would work for the
general development of Clackamas
county, and the Molalla valley in par
ticular. .
The possibilities of the country
were discussed and in fact everything
pertaining to the general welfare of
the Molalla people.
C. C. Chapman, of Portland Com
mercial club, was present and discus
sed the benefits derived from a Com
mercial club and warned the people
in that section about sending out any
fake literature or cutting up the
farms in five and ten-acre tracts, as
it requires a larger tract of land to
farm successfully and get the best re
sults. Mark Woodruff, representing the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern, wa3
present and told of the great things
that were happening in the Willam
ette valley and the plans laid out by
the electric lines which his company
expected to put in operation in the
near future.
Judge G. B. Dimick, of Oregon City
was also invited to sit on the plat
form, and when called upon spoke of
those things necessary- to the further
development of Clackamas county,
and strongly urged that the people
put aside any petty jealousies which,
they might entertain, and all work
for a common good. He urged the
necessity of lower maximum passen
ger charges on railroads, and said
that three cents a mile was too great
a charge if they expected the best re
sults in the development of the en
tire districts. He cited Wisconsin- as
an example, and showed that its
greatest development in railroad
building happened after the maximum
passenger charge was reduced to two
cents a mile.
Mr. Dimisck also cited Clackamas
Station, on the Southern Pacific, as
an example, and showed how its de
velopment had been retarded on ac
count of the passenger rates being
three cents a mile, while on the Ore
gon Water Power line, one mile west,
T.'I?ere the maximum passenger charge
is less than two CZZti S great
develoopment is seen on every hand.
He also told them in order to develop
the Molalla country and to get peo
ple to locate there it required some
thing besides a railroad, it required a
reasonably low passenger rate so that
all the profits of the country would
not go in the coffers of the com
pany. .
He told of the progress being made
by the Clackamas Southern and the
valuable assistance rendered the com
pany by Molalla people, and said that
the first division of that line from
Oregon City to Beaver Creek would
be in operation in a short time.
