"BIG FOUR" ON

Whitney, Milium and Two Wa
Urys to Defend Gup.
HAVE SHOWN SPLENDID FORM
Judging by Playing of Men In Practioe

English Team Weakened by Absence
B f A
It is nearly certain as death and tax
ation that the men who will defend the
International polo trophy will be the
same as those who won it In 1909 and
beat the English challengers in 1911.
They are Lawrence Waterbury, J. M.
Waterbury. Harry Payne Whitney and
Devereux Milburn. These men have

elation that will decide on the person
nel of the cup defenders has practical
ly made up its mind to select them.
Of course there are a few more
weeks of practice games to be played
before any definite decision is reached,
but it is known that if the "big four"
"continue to play as well during the-latter
part of the preliminary tourna
ments as they have in the first three
weeks there will be no change in the
lineup from that of 1909 and 1911.
Physical condition is the paramount
issue with the big four. Skill and
knowledge of the fine points of the
game are theirs. The one weak spot is
ust plain ordinary fat. Ail of them
are high in flesh, but in all justice to
them it must be said that they are
working hard so that they will be in
perfect shape by the time the Interna
' tionai match games are played in June
at the Meadowbrook (N. Y.) field.
The big four are great polo players.
They occupy not only the highest rank
in the handicaps in America and in
England, but they have been playing
ho long as a team that they know and
understand each other s play perfectly.
This is a big asset and is the real
strength of a team. If a new member
was introduced In the team It would
take months of practice to attain the
knowledge of just how the other polo
ists play the game. The members of
the big four are never tied up with
the red tape of team play, but each
player knows just how his mate plays.
This often enables the team as a whole
to score a victory.
if the American cup defenders are
made up of Whitney. Milburn and the
Waterbury brothers it will have a big
advantage over the English team. The
challengers for the cup have never
played together as a team. Individu
ally the English poloists are much bet-
i ij i" nsilfiitita than tha taa m thi t rama
over here in 1911. Captains Edwards
and Cheape were members of the 1911
team and have played together. They
understand each other's system of
play.
The English team received a terrific
blow when Captain Buekmaster an
nounced he would not be able to ac
company the team to America. Buck
master is considered the best poloist
in England Captain Ritson, who has
replaced him. is a crack player, but
not in the same class as Buekmaster.
: Captain Vivian Lockett the uewest
fcfinhc? of the team, is a clever player,
hut is not in the same class with the
other three.
The fourth member of the English
team has not yet been decided upon.
He will not be selected until after the
eight members chosen by the Hurling
ham club of England have played a
number of practice games here In
America. It is known, however, that
Cheape. Edwards and Ritson will hold

GRANGE MEETINGS
OPEN IN ALBANY
ALBANY, Or., May 13. (Special)
Over 200 delegates from all sections
of the state gathered here today at
the opening of the fortieth annual
session ol the Oregon State Grange,
held in Moose hall, Second and Lyon
streets. C. E. Spence, of Oregon
City, presided over the ritualistic
work that opened the morning pro
gram. Mr. Spence made a brief address of
welcome to the visiting delegates, af
ter which he introduced Oliver Wil
son of Peoria, 111., national, master of
the Grange, who addressed the con
vention for over an hour. . Mr. Wil
son's address was along the lines of
grange work, what it had accom
plished and what it planned to do in
the future. He was given an ovation
at the close of his speech.
Horace Parsons of Portland, a fra
ternal delegate to the convention
from the Oregon Federation of La
bor, addressed the meeting and made
an encouraging address that was re
ceived with applause by the dele
gates. The credentials committee, consist
ing of Mary S. Howe, Mulino; W. L.
Whitby, Corvallis; H.R.Findley, Port
land; Mrs. Nellie Peterson, Mist; J.
G. Jarvis, Hood River, and Mrs. F.
E. Butler, Knappa, reported shortly
before noon, and the delegtes were
all seated.
.The afternoon . program was con
fined to the reports of committees,
and in the evening a public reception
was held in the state armory, Mayor
Gilbert delivering the address of wel

WIFE SAYS CRAZY
Tlofmiso W f! Parker, of Milwau-
kie, talked in his sleep, and because
the prayers of an evangeieist am noi
break him of this habit, Mrs. Maria
Parker, his wife, Monday swore to
a warrant for his arrest on the
o-rnntiris nf in RATI itv. DeDutv sheriff
tnnv tho man into (Mist.odv late Mon
day night and lodged him in the coun
ty jail until Tuesday morning, wnen
lie had his hearing before County
Judge Beatie.
In court Parker gave no signs of
insanity. His breath smelled strong
ly of garlic, and on being asked to
account for it he said his wife had
given it to him s0 that he would sleep
better. She also used the powerfully
scented food as a sleeping potion, he
added; and this fact was evidenct to
court officials. Parker was able to
meet all the psychopathic tests sub
mitted to him, even bettering the rec
ords in this line made by some of
the court officers. He was able to
find the tip of his nose with the tip
of his index finger when his eyes
were blindfolded, touching the exact
spot required. Nobody else in court
could do as well.
Judge Beatie discharged the man.
and he left in haste, saying that his
wife was the person who should have
been brought up on charges.

to them and the other officials. The
plan that I submitted was more near
ly like the plan adopted than any of
the others, and I was given the job
to superintend.
I also wish to state that the work
was investigated by the grand jury,
and that a very favorable report was
given as to the prices paid for mater
ial and the way the work was carried
on. This report was published in
your paper at that time.
The investigating committee, it
seems, did not care to consult me
about the cost of the court house
when they were informed that I had
the record in detail of the entire ex
pense. I am perfectly willing to go
over the accounts with anyone that
has a knowledge of such construction
at any time.

:: News ::
The board of control, composed of
three members from, the student body
and three from the faculty, met in
the high school Tuesday and voted to
increase the requirements for athletic
work and participation in school
sports. At present is is the rule that
no student who falls below an aver
age of 75 per cent in studies, or who
uses either tobacco or liquor, can play
on any of the school teams. Efcgin-
ning with the school year those who
desire to participate in athletic work
will also have to attain a mark of 85
percent in deportment.
It has also been determined that
hereafter managers and captains of
the various school teams shall be
nominated by the board of control,
and then elected by school balloting.
The second team, otherwise known
as the ""mosquito fleet," will play
baseball with the Milwaukie high
seffool team Thursday afternoon. The
first team sometime ago defeated the
Milwaukieites by a score of 18 to 2.
The high school ball team will go
to Mt. Angel Saturday to play the
team there. A good game is expect
ed, as the Mt. Angel boys have
shown up well In work Bo far this

' but in a few days I met Mr. Mat
toon and he "told me the bridge
had been let to the Coast Bridge
Co. I asked him why they did
not let me know of the letting
said the Judge had given the con
tract to the Coast Bridge Co. be
fore he knew it."
That I did not make such" state
ment or any similar statement to
O. W. Severance as set forth in
said statement, or to any other
person at that or at any time or
at all.
Affiant further states that be
fore any bridge contract is let the
action is taken by the entire
board of County Commissioners
acting as a unit, and that was
done in the case referred to in
the aflidavit of said O. W. Sever
once as well as in the letting of
all other contracts.

(SEAL).
We find that the contract relative i
to this bridge is signed by Judge
Beatie and Commissioners Blair and
Mattoon.
The statements made by Mr. Sev
erance in his Affidavit reflecting on
Judge Beatie have been denied over
the signature of Judge Beatie, and
have been published but we do not
have the same on hand and submit
the entire matter as it stands.
In the matter of the charge made
by Mr. Hageman that $350.00 vas
paid a Mr. Scoggin for one-half days
time in making an expert report ou
the Suspension Bridge at Oregon City,
will say that we find that the sum
of $350.00 was paid and that the said j
Scoggin. made a complete typewritten j
report to the Court covering four or j
five pages going into detail as to j
the condition of tne Dnage, pointing
out the weak places in the timbers,
where they were decayed, the rusty
places on the cables, and bolts, show
ing the relative strength of the differ
ent parts of the bridge as compared
to a new bridge, and making recom
mendations as to the best and most
practicable manner of repairing the
same, lnis report is on nie ai me
office of the County Clerk and can be
seen by any person desiring to do so.
Mr. Eby of your committee, further
states that Mr. Schiiebel told him that
he had made some oucside investiga
tion concerning this matter and had
talked with Mr. T. W. Sullivan in
whom he had much confidence, and
that Kr. Sullivan gave it as his opin
ion that the price paid tor this exam
ination and report was not unreason
able. For further information concerning
this matter we have appended hereto
a copy of a letter from Mr. George
Scoggin bearing upon tne question.
Portland, Oregon,
May 9 ,19A3.
Mr. Eby, Oregon City, Oregon.
Dear Sir: We are in receipt of .
your letter of the 7th inst. regard
ing the payment of the sum of
$350.00 by the County Court of
Clackamas County, to our firm for -the
performance of certain .serv
ices. For your information will state
that this sum was for an exam
ination and report on the condi
tion and safety of a suspension
bridge across the Willamette Riv-
er at Oregon City, with recom
mendations as to the advisability
of the reconstruction or repair of
the same.
The report also included an es
timate with a sketch and estimate
of probable cost for replacing the
existing bridge with a steel struc
ture. The explanation and report con
cerning the existing structure,
which was but a small part of the
services rendered required assist
ants several days, and for your
further information will state that
charges for services of this char
acter are not calculated on a per
diem basis, and in view of the
services rendered the amount re
ceived was not only not extrava
gant but very reasonable.
Yours truly,
GEO. SCOGGIN.
In the matter of the charge made
that the County Court was extrava
gant in repairing the court house and
that they advertised for bids for re
pairs to the court house and then re
jected all bids and had the work done
under the supervision of a foreman
and that in doing so the cost to the
taxpayers was approximately $10,000
more than the same could have been
done at contract price. We find that
the court did not advertise for bids
but that it did advertise for plans for
such improvement, book 25, page 36,
Commissioners' Journal, to be submit
ted by architects and contractors and
that a number of plans were submit
ted and estimates given up the same.
These estimates ranged from $8000 to
$17,000.00, according to the plans sub
mitted, but that these plans were not
satisfactory to the ideas of the Court
and that they were all rejected and
the Court hired Mr. W. A. White, an
architect, to draw plans according to
the ideas of the Court and that the
Court House was constructed approx
imately in accordance with the plans
drawn by Mr. White, which were dif
ferent from any submitted by con'
tractors, and as near as can be de
termined, the" cost of this repair con
sisting of the additions made to the
Court House, the partitioning of the
rooms upstairs, a new heating plan
and new plumbing system complete,
new roof on old building and tower,
reoairs to Goddess, new wiring and
-two coats of paint on entire building,
together with the furniture addea,
cost about $20,000. This question
and the figures were gone into by Mr.
Casto of the Mass Meeting commit
tee and were never turned over to us.
In the matter of the charge made
against the Court for entering into a
contract for the cruising of timber
we find that the same was let to Mr.
M. G. Nease without bids on a price
of $0.80 per acre and that the Court
has a bond from said M. G. Nease in
the sum of $10,000.00 providing for
the faithful performance of said con
tract. We find furtner that the cruise
of Mr. Nease is being checked by Mr.
O. S. Boyles, a competent timber
cruiser, as to its exactness and we be
lieve from an inspection of the rec
ords returned on this cruise that the
same is being very accurately made,
showing the amount of merchantable
timber on each 40 acres, the amount
of second class timber, the amount of
piling, the character and contour of
the soil and the purpose for which
the soil is best adapted, also showing
the streams and roads, and that part
of the 40 acres covered by timber, the
part thereof In cultivation and the
part covered by a burn and so on, and
we believe that the amount expended
for this cruise is a good investment
and that the cost thereof wili be re
paid to the county in two or three
years time from the increase of taxes
upon the timber lands, the true val
ue of which will be shown by the
cruise.
In the matter of the complaint of
S. D. Berney that a mistake was made
by the Court cruisers on the line be
tween sections 2 and 11 T. 3 S. R, 2,
E. will say that we have not person
ally investigated this for that Mr.
Robert Scnuebel stated to Mr. Eby
that he had investigated the same
and that he found the charge untrue.
In the matter of the charge made
by Mr. Hageman that the Court had
spent approximately $800.00 construct
ing a bridge across a dry gulch or
as we remember it, a stream known
as Matlock Creek, and that the said
bridge has no road leading to it on
either side, will say that we have not
gone upon the ground to view the
bridge, but have talked with the mem
bers of the . County Court concerning
the same and append hereto copy of
a letter from said C. F. Clark, a form
er resident of Clackamas Precinct,
who now residss in Portland, which
we believe fully explains the matter
and which corroborates the state
ment made by the court. This letter
is as follows.:"
695 East Ash Street,
May 6, 1913.
O. D. Eby,
Oregon City, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your request for in
formation concerning the con
struction of a bridge across Mat
lock Creek in the Wm. Stevens
road, permit me to say, that the
said road was a regularly laid out
County Road, and that the old
bridge across said creek, to the
best of my recollection, was built
up the creek f;om the true road
way as a matter of convenience
and on private property (the
canyon across the creek being
deip at this point) with a long
grade angling down to the bridge
and another equally long from the
biidge to the top of the hill on -the
other side. This old bridge
had entirely decayed from age so
that passage across it was im
possible, and while it is true that
this roadway, in the stage of de
velopment or rather lack of de
velopment it was in, served only
a lew people, it was a short cut
off for those few into the junny
side road. To MJr. J. Nordberg
the repair, or rathe the recon
struction, of the old bridge, or the
construction of a new bridge
across said creek, was a matter
of absolute necessity. He had at
the time considerable cut wood
with no roadway over which it
was possible to haul the same.
Mr. Fred Fritz had property, also
Mr. Talbert and myself which had
no feasible outlet towards Port
land, unless this bridge was re
placed. At the time I was expect
ing to deed to each of two of my
children a piece of property
(which has since been done) ad
jacent to this roadway and that
they would need and use this ,
roadway as soon as the same
could be opened. I and Mr. Nord
berg and Mr. Talbert presented
the matter tto the county court,
Judge-Beatie and the commission
ers, and Mr. Nordberg who is a
contractor and builder, offered to
build a new bridge straight across
Matlock Creek and bulkhead and
fill the approaches at such eleva
tion (40 or 45 feet high, I think)
as would practically eliminate
grades, or most of the grade,
and cut out all the angling down
to the old bridge and saving very
much in distance. If I remember
correctly, he agreed to furnish
everything, ,and do all the work
on this long bridge for the small
sum of $750.00 or $800.00 (at
least $500.00 less than any con
tractor would be willing to build
it for) Mr. Talbert and I made an
estimate and, as near as my mem
ory now serves me, we figured
that his material cost him about
what he built the bridge for, his
labor being lost. The county
court and everybody interested in
this matter at the time knew that
Mr. Nordberg and his son gave al
most their whole summer's time
on the bridge without any pay,
because they had to have a way
out. The reconstruction of the
old bridge, if it could have been
made feasible or even possible
(being on private property) would
have cost several hundred dollars,
(and the county was under obliga
tions to rebuild the bridge or af
ford another bridge outlet to Mr.
Nordberg and some of this other
property) and it seemed more ex
pedient to the court to construct
a new bridge, since under the cir
cumstances it cbuld be secured
by the county at less than cost,
and so located as to save both
grades and distance and make a
continuance of a straight road. In
this I think their judgment will
be deemed sound after a fair and
impartial examination of all the
facts surounding this case is
made. Now it is true, that Mr.
Nordberg, Mtr. Talbert, Mr. Fritz
subscribing thereto, and myself
agreed to cut out and open up this
roadway (so that teams could go
through)' as soon as we could.
The writer circulated a petition
for labor and money to open this
road, at the time, and secured
some help, mostly promises' of
labor, and the writer and some
others have done seme work to
wards opening up the road. Since
deeding two parcels of property
to two of my children this mat
ter has been turned over to my
. son, and I understand that it is
expected that the cutting and
burning will be finished this sum
mer and other work will be done
later in the fall and next winter
when the brush is out of the way.
I know that the court acted in
good faith, and I know that there
is a bona fide intention of the

For Sale and
people there to carry out their
obligation, only it has taken long
er than was expected. I desire
to say right here and now that
it is my firm belief that if the
county would establish a rock
crusher at the Talbert rock quar
ry, which is so located, as to be
readily accessible to several road
districts, and use the said Wm.
Stevens road as a cut off into the
Sunnyside road (saving 3 miles
on each load hauled) that enough
more tonnage could be hauled,
with the same expense, to .pay the
entire cost of this bridge in two
years, and that better and more
permanent roads could be made
than is now being done with
gravel. I am satisfied that the
two or three road districts near
est said quarry would meet the
county half way with a special
tax for a crusher if the county
would entertain the proposition.
As you know, I reside in Portland
and am not now closely in touch
with Clackamas county affairs,
but I do wish to say positively
that I know Judge Beatie and the
commissioners acted from con
scientious motives in this matter
and did what they considered .
their duty. Mr. Nordberg expects
to fence and make permanent im
provements and is working there
now to that end and, until this
bridge was built he could neither
haul to or from his-premises. It
was up to the county to afford
him a bridge on a county road or
quit collecting taxes from his
property until tney could 'give
him an outlet. Private parties
were objecting to the reconstruc
tion of the old bridge, (which was
entirely gone) on their land, and
to build a new bridge in the coun
ty roadway, made it necessary to J

many dowel rods used by Mr.
Nordberg in construction of the
bridge were about twice as long
as those commonly used for the
purpose. I only mention this to
show, that although he lost mon
ey on the job, he carried out his
contract faithfully as per his
agreement with the court, even in
minor details where he might,
and others (found themselves
losing money) would have rt
trench. It is easy for those who
have a good road built right past
their front door to criticise the
county court for affording relief
to those who have no road, but if "
their positions were reversed,
their story would present a dif
- ferent tone. I have gone, into
this matter at some length in or
der to give you a fair understand
ing of the facts as I understand
them, and while the court grant
ed this bridge somewhat reluct
antly, I am satisfied that it did
so with the firm convicton that
it was the most expedient thing,
and the only thing to do under
the circumstances, that it was
honorably bound to do so. Any
questions you may desire to ask,
I will gladly answer to the best
of my ability, and trusting this
will cover what you wish to know,
I remain,
Yours truly,
C. F. CLARK,
P. S. By referring to the coun
ty map you will find that the Wm.
Stevens road is connected on the
3outh with the road which passes
over the hill from Sunnyside to
Clackamas, and on the north with
the Sunndyside road near Gaff
ney place.
In the matter of the charge of
George Lazelle, that the county court
is withohlding the special road fund
of 1912, in Canemah precinct, refus
ing to spend the same upon the roads
of that precinct, and further that the
court has wilfully misspent such spe
cial money in the construction of 700
feet of roadway which cost $800.00.
We find that the year 1912 a special
tax levy of 6 mills was made in this
road district and that at the meeting
where the same was levied, it was
agreed that the special tax amounting
to about $2700.00 be divided into three
parts about $900.00 each to Canemah
road, South End .road and McCord
pended there, leaving approximate
$865.00 of the $900.00 belonging to the
South End road now has been ex
pended there on leaving approximate
ly $35.00 in the treasury belonging to
said road. And that there is yet in
the treasury of such special fund
about $1375.00, 900.00 of which be
longs to Canmeah road, and the bal
ance thereof less approximately $35.
belongs to the McCord road. Mr.
William Fine the road supervisor of
this district as stated to the commit
tee and particularly to Mr. Eby that
the court has in no way interferred
with him in the expenditure of this
special fund and that the money be
longing to the Canemah road has not
been spent for the reason that the
people of Canemah held it back to
use upon the road through Canemah,
where the track of the P. R., L. & P.
Co. is being removed, but that recent
ly Canemah people have been success
ful in reaching an agreement with
the P. R., L. & P. Co. whereby this
road will be repaired at the expense
of the P. R., L. & P. Co. and the
money belonging to the Canemah
road will be saved. Mr. Fine also
stated that the people of the McCord
road did not desire that all of their
money should be evpended and want
ed some of it held back for repair
and this statement is corroborated by
the statement of Mr. T. C. Thomas
who lives at said district sW' is in
terested in said McCord road.
In regard to 700 feet of road cost
ing $800.00, this is approximately cor
rect and is a fraction over $1.00 per
foot. This particular road is located
towards Oregon City from the resi
dence of Geo. Lazelle and is one of
the best roads in Clackamas county,
and taking into consideration the
kind of road and construction of same
in our opinion the cost of same is not
unusual.
In regard to the charge made that
the court paid D. C. Robbins $2.60 a
barrel for cement when C. W. Knott
ingham of Portland, had offered to
furnish the same material for $2.00
per barrel, we lind that the price
those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs. Use
recommended by
quoted by-Knottingham was $2.00 per
barrel net f. o. b. cars Portland, which
means that in addition to this price
will be added $.10 per sack or $.40
per barrel for sacks and an additional
$.20 for freight making the price laid
down in Oregon City $2.60 per barrel,
which is exactly the same price that
the court paid.
In conclusion, we beg to say that
after our appointment, .we began work
with the joint committee in good
faith, as hereinbefore stated, and that
since the joint meeting in the .court
room hereinbefore described, there
has never been a meeting of the joint
committees, although it was fully un
derstood and agreed that each mem
ber of the joint ..committee would use
his best effort in making a full inves
tigation and that we would then hold
a joint meeting of the two commit
tees for the purpose of making a report.-
We have stood ready at all
times to make such report, and sev
eral t.mes asked for such , meetirtg
but were not granted the privilege of
meeting with the mass meeting com
mittee to make a report, and finally
on Saturday morning, the day on
which we were to report to the mass
meeting, we were told that we could
make our own report and that the
mass meeting committee would make
its report. That we knew nothing of
the contents of the report made by
the mass meeting committee until the
same was read at the meeting.
The mass meeting committee stated
in their report that we have been of
no use whatever to them and as soou
as they found drift of our intentions
they decided to let us work to suit
ourselves and make our own report,
and that they would do the same. Mr.
Schuebel further stated orally, that
Mr. Eby in particular : had hindered
rather than assisted in the work. We
submit the foregoing report and
statements of facts and ask that you
read theTn-aadjuoge for yourselves
as to what the7ac"ts"" are- and as to
the truth of their statements concern
ing us.
Respectfully submitted,
O. D. EBY,

LA CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER.
wth the skill and finish of adultmu
sicians. Mr. Roney of "Roney's Boys" Con
cert company was once waiting ror
a train the morning afteta concert,
when a man sat down beside- him and,
after introducing himself -as an at
torney, delivered himself as follows:
"I didn't get out to your concert
last night, but I've heard some mighty
good tnings about it. Now I'm some
thing of a musician myself and I've
thought out something that would
make an immense hit if singers would
only profit by it. Now this is en
tirely my own idea, and I want to
see what you think of it.
"If singers were only trained to
speak their words distinctly, so, that
people could understand what they
were singing, it would be a great im
provement and make them more pop
ular and please the people better.
Now, what do you think of my new
idea?"
Mr. Roney told him that the "new
idea" was certainly a good one, so
good, in fact, that he had been trying
to put ii. in practice in all his train
ining of singers for the past twenty
five years, and that if there was any
one thing more than anothsr in which
he was mercilessly exacting in his
training of "Roney's Boys" it was in
their distinctness of enunciation.

cian of Paris, once said: "I believe
we shall one day rid the world of all
diseases caused by germs."
' Dandruff is caused by germs, a fact
accepted by all physicians.
Dandruff is the root of all hair
evils. If it were not for the little de
structive germs working -with a per
sistency worthy of a better cause,
there would be no baldness.

germs and remove dandruff in two
weeks or money back.
