CANNOT FORCE OWNERS TO PAY
County Side May Refuse to Share
Cost of Work and Officers
Are Helpless Money is
But Contribution .
Shall property owners on the city
side of Division street pay for the im
provement of the entire street or will
the residents of the county side share
the expense? This is the question
that is just now being asked by the
residents of the northeastern section
of the city.
Division street is the dividing line
between the city and county. Com
plete plans and specifications have
been filed in the recorder's office for
the improvement of the street with
crushed rock. The finished street
will cost at least $20,000 if the regular
specifications are carried out.
According to the opinion of Ciiy
Attorney Stone, the city has absolute
ly no authority over the property own
ers on the county side of the street,
and can in no way compel them to
share the expense of the improve
ment. Stone Talks.
"The only way that the city can
secure the co-operation of the prop
erty owners on the county side is by
voluntary support. The city has ab
solutely no power over them, and it
is only through what might be termed
'free will offerings' that finsncial co
operation can be secured," said Mtr.
Stone Thursday.
"The property on both sides of the
street will receive equal benefit, aud,
as a result, it is only fair that ther-?
should be equal assessment against
both sides of the street. I believe
that co-operation can be secured, al
though one stubborn owner could al
most block the entire matter," he
continued. "This is the only vay
that I see for the city."
Division street is considerel one
of the worst' streets in the city. In
the winter it is said to be impossible
to drive a team along it on account
of the mud. It has never li'.-en
gravelled, and is full of great rut3
and chuck-holes.

This photograph shows water entering the Miraflores Locks for the first time after the blowing up of the
dyke which separated the canal priwn and the Pacific ocean. It was not s. tended, however to allow the water
in the locks so soon. After the water was let in the canal prism, tjae dyke blown up permitting the water to
get into the channel to operating level, the stoney gate valve which was supposed to keep water out of the Iocs
showed a bad leak which is permitting the water to enter the locks at the rate of three inches per hour. When
the picture was taken there was twelve feet in the west chamber, lowerlocks Miraflores.
It seems but yesterday that congress was discussing whether the canal would be constructed as what is
known as a "water level" canal or is a "lock and dam" canal, and now the above picture shows the waters of
the Pacific in the canal for the f rst time. - -
The completion of this canal will mark the triumph of engineering skill over the claims that this canal
could never be built. - . -

Hunt Streets for Slit
Skirt While "Justice"
Smiles on Serenely
- Mere man was on edge Thursday
hunting for the slit skirt at the court
house that had created so much ex
citement and had interested him in
the woman with the new freak of
fashion. .
Presiding over the actions of the
courts, with her hand uplifted over
the city and holding the sword of
justice that hews to the line, the wo
man with the slit skirt stands firmly
fixed on the roofs of the county build
ing where some architect with designs
artistic, placed her when the structure
was erected several years ago. She
is not on the county pay roll, but she
is still a county fixture. She is the
representation of the justice of the
courts, a statu e of justice, in fact,
and her gown is that of the Grecian
woman of whom she is a likeness.

and its tributaries.
It put 44,800 in the pond at Esta
cada; 32,000 in the pond at upper
dam; 16,000 in the reservoir; 20,000 in
north fork of the Clackamas; 10,000
in the south fork of the Clackamas;
20,000 in Clear Creek and the bal
ance has been distributed in smail
streams running into some of these
others. Fourteen thousand were
planted in Delph Creek, a small
stream which empties into Eagle
Creek.
Aside, and in addition to what the.
club has planted the state has de
posited in Eagle Creek and in the
north fork of Eagle Creek 131,000.
In all these there were planted In
Clackamas waters about 330,000 by
the club and state fish commission.
These fish will be about nine inches
long in about one year, which will
make the fishing fine next fall. In tht
main Clackamas there have been re
leased aside from all this, between
400,000 to 500,000. This lajst big sum
was turned loose below both dams
and should make the fishing good
next year on the lower Clackamas.
The large portion of those released on
the- lower Clackamas were steelhead
trout; these fish grow rapidly and
should be at least ten inches long by
next September.
CARVER ASKS FOR
HELP ON BRIDGE
From Parkplace, a large delegation
visited the county court Thursdaj to
ask for the assistance of the county
m the construction of a new steel
bridge across the Clackamas river at
that point.
The reason for the excitement in
Parkplace is the fact that the Carver
electric line wants to cross thu
stream and feels that the county
should share the expense of the work.
The residents have, with Carver, ask
ed the county to donate $7500 as one
half -of the cost of the bridge to be
erected near the present wagon
bridge.
The matter was taken under ad
visement by the county court and will
entail an investigation into the nec
essity for the bridge before the ap
propriation is made. The new bridge,
according to the Carver plans, 'wouM
have one side devoted to the vehicle
traffic and the other to the electric
cars of the new line.

Petitions were filed m the office of
Will L. Mulvey, county clerk, Thurs
day by the faction &at has been cir

that has secured more than the re
quisite number of signatures on which
the county court may call a special
election.
The law provides that the matter
will be submitted at the election No
vember 4, when the state votes on tne
referendum laws and will be added
to the ballot at that time. There are
295 names on the Oregon City peti
tion, and 51 on the one from Milwau
kie, more than the 10 per cent of
the vote cast for justice of the su
preme court at the last general elec
tion. The county clerk has checked over
the names that appear on the papers
he has filed and all of them are reg
istered voters of the county anu are
qualified to sign such a petition de
manding that the issue be placed on
the ballot at the election. -Many
in Dry Column.
Most of the towns in the county aie
already dry and have adopted the pro
visions of the local option law. Some
of them fell into the column during
the last county election when they
voted for county-wide prohibition.
Thoiierh the matter failed tn rrv
the pecincts that voted for it have
been dry anyway, under the provis
ions of the law, and the two cities in
which the fight has now been started
are almost the only incorporated
towns that have not gone into the
column.
' The dry -forces .have been organiz
ing for several weeks and have now
formulated plans for an active cam
paign. They have about determined
on the moves that will be made dur
ing the next few weeks before the
election date.
Oregon City now has til saloons,
from which the city receives an an
nual license tax of $10,000.
