COUNTY COURT ORDERS IN ITS
SUPERVISORS -TO A
CONFERENCE
TO MAKE REPORTS ON WORK DONE
Status of Improvement of Highways
is to be Told and Ideas Dis
cussed as to Better
Methods of Work
From every nook and corner of the
county where one of the 59 road su
pervisors is watching his little stretch
of county road, will come the officials
who are to talk good roads on Novem
ber 5, and make their reports to the
county court.
The commissioners have iBstructed
all of their supervisors to report in
the city at that time and to talk over
the question of road improvement.
The members of the commercial club
will be invited to attend the confer
ence as will the owners of automobiles
in the city and county.
The question of road improvement
has agitated the minds of the county
court since first it took office. The-
supervisors will make their reports on
the amount of work that has been
done during the year, the kind of
construction that it was, and the na
ture of the difficulties that had to be
overcome in order to put the road in
to usable shape. All of these things
are interesting to the court and to ail
boosters for good roads.
The reports will give the number of
miles of road work that his been done
during the year, showing whether the
construction was of gravel, plank,
crushed rock, or graded. The various
districts will show the total road im
provement that has been going on in
the county and will indicate just how
much this county has done during the
past 12 months toward the betterment
of the condition of the county high
ways. Already the court has ordered the
construction of one mile of hard sur
face road over a much used highway
near Milwaukie and has started to
build bridges and do other improve
ment work at various places through
the county. The hard surface high
way has been given considerable at
tention by the court and the confer
ence next month will be joined by the
commercial club and users of the
roads who will be asked for advice
and suggestion as to the best methods
of construction of the county high
ways. HER ON HUNT
FOR WATER FACTS
Seven hundred and ninety-four feet
above the reservoir site in the city
will be in the Intake of the new wa
ter supply if the scheme for the pipe
line to the south fork of the Clack
amas goes through.
H. A. Rands, the engineer delegated
to survey the upper reaches of the
stream has been at work for two or
three days with a party of five. He
has secured through the mountains
where "flows the mighty" Clackamas
and has discovered that the first falls
of the river is 794 feet above the city.
In his first estimates, he believed that
it was about 200 feet above the site
of the proposed reservoir.
This aditional pressure would send
the water rushing through the mains
at a velocity greater than that of the
city of Portland and would fill the res
ervoir sooner than the mains now
carrying the supply of the Rose City
into the Mount Tabor reservoir.
Fire pressure would be more than
the highest buildings could stand, con
sidering the growth that Oregon City
may possibly have within the next 20
years. One quarter of a mile farther
up the stream, the intake will be built
where the south fork flows into the
Clackamas. The engineer believes
that the construction of the intake at
this point would give the city a bet
ter water supply and would guarantee
the prsssure on the mains. The point
is high enough over the fals to pre
clude the possibility of fish entering
the mains and is deep enough into the
mountains and forests of the upper
reaches of the stream to prevent filth
from ever getting into the pipe.
He believes, too, that he will have
a full and complete report ready for
the committee within one month and
that he will be able to give the people
r of the city an exact understanding of
just what it would cost and the
amount of work that would have to
be done to get the line completed. He
has been investigating the cost of
pipe and now has some figures on that
feature of the expense.
Today he will go Into the country
between here and Springwater to con
tinue his investigations.

Friends Aid Woman
Whom Husband
Left in Destitution
With her eyes burned out by over
work, destitute and deserted by a hus
band who left her in the days when
her eye sight began to fail, Mrs. Anna
Snyder's helpless condition and her
absolute dependence upon the odds
and ends that she can get to do to! -provides that on those dates when the
maintain herself and her two baby holiday occurs on Sunday the follow
daughters has aroused her friends ing Monday is declared a legal holi
and a performance will be given fori day and courts and banks may sus-
ner Denent at tne lien i neater on !
October 24.
As a gift for her Mrthday that
conies three days later, the manage-
j ment of the theater and the Burroughs
Howiand players nave donated tne !
services and use of the theater and
troupe to raise the funds. The plan
originated with the Loyal Order of
Moose and is seconded by the Wo
man's club, both organizations taking
a hand in the entertainment and the
raising of funds for the donation. j
For two years, she has been blind
and helpless. Odds and ends of vari
ous kinds have been given to her to
assist her in the effort to - maintain
herself and her two children. She has
done some fancy work for several
persons in the city who have assised
her to get all of that kind of employ
ment that she could handle. The two
organizations have, however, found
that she is unable to maintain herself
and children in comfort and that she
is actually suffering for some of the
necessities of life.
They have believed that a donation
for her birthday would be appropriate
and have undertaken to raise this by
a performance at The Bell Theater
about October 24. It is estimated that
a fund of at least $100 can be raised
in this way and the friends have
pledged their support of the under
taking in the effort to get as large a
donation as possible.
GROWTH STARTLES
CALIFORNIA BUYERS
i
For a measly little ten dollars
George Burtt of San Francisco, one of
the capitalists of that city, has bought
561 lots near the Clackamas Southern
right-of-way. Some of these lots are
near the town of Estacada. Others
are scattered along the line of the
road through the county.
From his statements while he wai
in the city and from the remarks that
he had let drop at various places that
he visited, he intends to erect large
warehouses and tenement buildings on
the property that he has bought as
soon as the growth of the communlt
ies will justify the expense..
The record of the transfer of the
title is filed in the office of County
Recorder Dedman and shows that he
paid "$10 and other valuable consid
eration" for the property. The exact
amount is not given. He left at once
for his own state and just what his
plans will be in the way of building
construction is not certain.
From as far as Manila, a buyer
came to the city a few days ago look
ing for a site for a 400-acre walnut
grove where he could raise walnuts to
his heart's content and live off of the
income from the money spent on the
original .outlay for the grove. From
other parts of the world, too, in the
last few days buyers have come to the
city and the valley looking for invest
ment and the construction of the lines
of railroad has had an important part
in the interest that these outside
capitalists have shown in the growth
of the valley and its probable develop
ment In the next fes.w years.
And the heiress who marries a title
seldom gets her money's worth.

George E. Davis, referred to as "O'Donnel," during the dynamite trial at Indianapolis, and one of the men
most actively concerned in the dynam iting conspiracy of the International Association of Bridge & Structural
Iron Workers, seated between United States Marshall Henkel, and Captain Foster of Ae Foster Detective
Agency, of Louisville, Ky. This pho tograph was taken shortly after his ar rest at the Hotel Breslin, New York.
Davis had been traced for some ti me by Captain Foster. At the Fort Pitt Hotel in ittsburg, on September
10th, Davis decided to confess. Fost er helped him to prepare this confession which involves the names of sev
eral of the officials of the association, and the pair went to New York, wher Davis was arrested by Marshall
Henkel. - - .
In his confession Davis admits destroying nine structural jobs and recounts numerous other jobs which
were planned, including the blowing up of the Queensboro Bridge in New York. Owing to his unwillingness tn
kill several men in the blowing up of the bridge, Davis gave up the job.

CONFESSED DYNAMITER AND CAPTORS
Even a Stamp
Recognize Bull
Moose Party
to
The records of the office of the
county clerk, Will L. Mulvey, show
that the Bull Moose herd is rapidly
disappearing. Even the office has not
found it necesary to buy a "Progres
sive" stamp for the register lists as
the applisatio.ns .are so few and far
between.
Seldom in the office have there calls
far the blanks with the name of the
"Progressive" parly stamped on them.
Nearly every one of the old herd has
gone back into the folds of the party
and has joined again with those whom
lie last year so vehemently denounced
in every adjective of the vocabulary.
Now, however, he alligns himself
with the forces that he opposed last
year. From indications in Clackamas
county, it will hardly be necessary for
the heads of the Republican party to
worry themselves much about the
fracture last year or to devise ways
and means to bring the sheep back in
to the fold. That process has been
steadily going on in the county and
the people that were alligned with the
party of Roosevelt and LaFollette
have drifted back into the organiza
tion that they used to call "home."
Every other party of the county is
represented in that stamp box of the
county clerk. The" Republicans, the
Democrats, the Socialists, the Prohib
itionists are all there, but the Pro
gressives have disappeared from off
! of the map altogether. - Once in weeks
there appears before the counter of
the.clerk a man or a woman who still
