CITY MAY SAVE
BIG SUM YEARLY
ROCK-CRUSHER TEST SHOWS
POSSIBLE ECONOMY OF 65
CENTS ON YARD
MATERIAL DELIVERED FOR BUT $1.20
Competing Contractors On Record as
j Saying Actual Cost of Work
is $1.60 Committee
Has All Figures
That Oregon City will bs abla to
save at least 65 cents a yard on its
street work if it has a municipal rock
crusher was shown by figures in the
possession of the special comniiti.ee
of the council investigating the mat-
ici tiiia weeit. uia esuuiaLt; wad
based upon a lot of over 500 yards of
crushed rock gotten out at the Jones
rock-crusher as a test, so that the
economy of the plant, if operated
municipallyr could be demonstrated
before hand.
The 500 yards were gotten out for
less than $630 The actual figures
submitted to the committee show a
total of ?C31.95 for the cost of the
crushed material and that now in the
bins at the plant, but the total amount
on hand is over 500 yards. Aside
from the 500 yards delivered to th
city there remains a considerable
' quantity that was gotten out at the
same time. This excess was unavoid
able, owing to the impossibility of
. figuring exactly on the yardage of the
rock in the ledge.
- The $631.95 is made up of the fol
lowing items: Labor, $370.40; teams
and naulage, $188.55; power for
crusher, $42.00; powder and fuse, $31.
, In making the test, the rock was
hauled to the city limitjs, which is
next to the longest haul that could be
made. On average hauls the cost
would be considerably less. Express
ed another way, it cost 75 cents a
yard to get out the - rock, crush ic
and stack it in the bins, and the haul
cost 45 cents a yard, making a total
cost for delivery of the material $1.20
per yard. Some hauls would only
cost 25 cents a yard.
, This shows a saving of at least 65
cents a yard wnen compared with the
lowest figures the city has heretofore
been able to obtain. At an earlier in
vestigation of the Droblem. it was
shown that contracting companies
would not deliver the crushed rock
for less than $1.85 a yard; and wh?n
this rate was questioned the manager
of a local contracting company toil
the council tnat it cost 75 cents to
" prepare a yard of rock for the crush
er, 25 cents to crush it, and 50 cents
to deliver it. Incidentals were plac-
-ed at ten cents per yard, making the
alleged cost of the work $1.60. Wi'.h
this as a cost basis, $1.85 per yard
was not considered unreasonable.
- The test job of 500 yards, gotten out
and delivered at a cost of $1.20 per
yard, shows tnat tne city can save at
least 65 cents per yard on the $1.85,
or 40 cents, on the $1.60 cost esti
mate. When it is taken into consid
eration that the $631.95 given as the
cost of the test also leaves a con
siderable yardage of crushed rock in
the bins, the saving is still more
startling.

Wednesday afternoon at Gladstone

and so thrilled an audience of over
3000 people that she was called back
again and again. The Tyrolean Al
pine singers consisting of four dash
ing young mountaineers, three dainty
peasant lassies and Miss Mfiyerhofer,
held full sway at Chautauqua Wed
nesday. All were in the peasant garb
of the Tyrol, sang native songs, and
artistically played native instruments.
And their yoddling characteristic of
the Swiss mountaineers--was most
beautiful. It was the largest Chau
tauqua audience so far this session
and all were delighted with the quaint
appearance and the concert of the vis
itors from across the sea.
In the beautiful native aria, "My
Home,"' Miss Mayerhofer excelled.
Quietly slipping out of the auditorium
she joinod in thesong from a point
over 100 yards away, concealed in a

TELLS
HOW ERROR CAME
F. L. Staton, an operative of the
William J. Burns National Detective
agency, visited the city jail Thursday
and looked over Virgil Perrine, tho
Milwaukie bank-robber, who had been
previously identified in Portland by
Detective L. A. Ackerman and some
Burns operatives as Adrian School
over, alias "Tom Reid," a member of
the P. O. Whitay gang of safe-blowers.
After seeing the prisoner, and
having a talk with him, Staton ad
mitted to Sheriff E. T. Mass that the
identification was at fault, and de
clared that young Perrine was not
the notorious member of the gang of
yeggs.
Staton excused the mistake in
identification, which lead officers
here and in Wasco county upon a
false scent, by saying that the strong
resemblance between the two Per
rine, the boy of 20, and Schoonover
the hardened bank robber had led
the Burns people to label Perrine's
picture, which they obtained at tha
time of his arrest in Portland as a
photograph of Schooonver. Staton
said that when pictures of Perrina,
taken by newspaper photographers,
was compared with the Burns gallery,
the mistake had followed, owing to
the wrong labelling of photos. Mr.
Staton added that the Burns gallery
had now been revised, and that Per
rine was catalogued as he should be.
While at the eounty jail Staton
heard sonne rather caustic comments
upon the sleuths of private detective
agencies, but took them all in good
part. He admitted cherrfully that a
mistake had been made, and offered
the foregoing explanation. His talk
with Perrine brought out no ne
facts in regard to that youth's career
before his arrest for the Milwaukie
robbery. " - .
GIGANTIC THISTLE
PUT ON DISPLAY
County Fruit Inspector Freytag has
issued a request to all road supervis
ors, urging them to cut down and kill
any "Chinese lettuce," which is a
form of thistle, that may be found
growing along the edges of the county
roads. There is a state law that pro
vides that residents owning property
along county roads are responsible
for keeping the half of the road near
est them free from weeds, and Mr.
Freytag would like to see this en
forced also.
Aside from the spread of thistles
through neglect of this law, Mr. Frey
tag points out that when roads are
overgrown along their -borders with
weeds, .visitors passing through the
county get a bad impression of things,
and oftentimes people who might in
vest in property go elsewhere seek
ing land less apt to be spoiled by
thistle growth.
Mr. Freytag's attention has been
brought to' this matter by a thisle
nine feet and four inches high,
brought to the Commercial club pub
licity display rooms by Mr. Barney,
of Maple Lane. While this giant
thistle stalk may give startling proof
of the fertility of Clackamas county
soil, Mr. Freytag does not believe
that the growing of giant thistles is
particularly to the county's advant
age. NEW ALBANY, Ind., July 10.

Thursday in the interests of the juve

in connection with . the state fair;
and also to urge an increase in in.
I terest for county juvenile fairs. Mr.
xid.rrmgion nas been favorably im
pressed with tha work "of Clackamas
county school children, and dasires
that they exhibit some of their ac
complishments at the Salem meeting.
In speaking of his work and efforts
he said:
"I am in Oregon City to assist if
possible, the local committees in ar
ranging for local juvenile fairs in
Clackamas county. The work here
has been placed in the hands of Mrs.
David Caufield, to have charge of the
Oregon City school exhibit, and Mr3.
E. W. Scott of the district exhibit
They will be supported and aided in
their work by County Superintendent
Gary and City Superintendent F. J.
Tooze.
"The school exhibit shown at the
Barelay school a few weeks ago was
splendid proof that hand training has
not been neglected in Oregon City
schools. All the work referred to is
in line with the state industrial con
test, which will be held at Salem the
first week in October. We hope to
have one of the most extensive and
best-agricultural and industrial school
exhibits ever made by any state. Ev
ery county in Oregon should have an
exhibit, and Clackamas county is one

of the best so far as location, diversi-
"It does not seem possible that any
proof is needed to show that this
practical educational state-wide move
ment is of value to the boys and girls
to the schools and to the state o!
Oregon. The government Bulletin
on boy'a and girls' clubs has the fol
lowing to say: 'There have been few
developments in recent years of
greater educational interest than the
work dona by associations of boys
and girls in agricultural and domestical
art undertakings. As a rule, these
have had their beginning in some
form of competitive contest for spe

"Give the Clackamas boys and girls
a chance to be recognized as active,
Industrious young people."
The folowing prizes for such dis
plays are offered at the Salem fair:

CHARGED WITH RIOT
TRIAL LASTS TILL LATE IN EVENING
Judge's Instructions Believed to be
Favorable to Prosecution -Sensations
Lacking
' Throughout Trial
At 2:10 a. m., the jury was locked
up for the night with orders to return
a sealed verdict At the time of go
ing to press no verdict had been
reached. .
At one o'clock this morning the
jury in the case of the fifteen men
indicted for rioting in tha paper mills
on June 10 was still deliberating. At
that time Judge Eakin, who has pre
sided over the two-day trial, said if
the jurors did not come to a verdict
by two o'clock, he would recall them
to the court room, instruct them to re
turn a sealed verdict and lock them
up for the night.
The trial, which never attained the
spectacular nature that was anticipat
ed, closed late in the evening, the
jury going out at 9:45. Counsel for
largely upon tha fact that no evidence
had been introduced to show that any
three of the defendants had been en
gaged in any of the riotous acts com
plained of, and insisted that the

shown that at least three men were
engaged in such acts.
In charging the jury, Judge Eakin
instructed them that while the. law
provided that there could be no riot
unless at least three men were en
gaged in some overt act, it was not
necessary that all three concerned be
doing the same thing. This was re
garded by many in the court room as
a point in favor of the state.
Both the prosecution and the de
fense finished taking testimony
Thursday afternoon about 5 o'clock,
when the state closed, its rebuttal.
Arguments of counsel were made at
the evening session of court, which
convened at seven o'clock. J. E.
Hedges, special counsel in the case,
representing the mills, and assisting
Deputy District Attorney Stipp, was
the first to speak, and outlined to the
jurors the disorders of the night of
the trouble. His address was devoid
of oratorical pyrotechnics, as in face,
were the addresses of all counsel.
John A. Jeffrey, counsel for the In
dicted rioters, made his plea to tha
jury largely upon the technical
ground that the state had not shown
that technical riot had occurred. He
admitted that there had baen a dis
turbance at the mills, but maintained
that the defendants had taken no ac
tive part in it, and that their identifi
cation was of doubtful value as evi
dence. In his speech he "waved the
fiag of freedom" to a certain extent,
but was most mild in his plea. The
only sensational feature of his clos
ing was when he referred to the spe
cial council in the casa as "the rep
resentatives of corporate power be
fore the bar of justice." .
Deputy District Attorney Stipp's
closing remarks went straight to tha
root of the matter, and outlined the
facts leading up to the arrest of the
defendants early in the morning of
Juna 11. Mr. Stipp spolie in an even
unimpassioned tone, and his words
seemed to make a deep impression
upon the jury.
Much of the trial consisted in a
battla between counsel over the evi
dence. Hardly a witness answered
more than two consecutive questions
without there being an argument be
fore the court as to the admissability.
of evidence. While the courtroom
was crowded throughout the second
day of the trial, spectators found but
little to listen to that was of a sen-
