The elevator may yet cost the city

Saturday morning, the question of ask
ing the city for an additional $8000 to
meet whatever cost might later be
added was discussed, thougiino action
was taken.
Protests from 55 taxpayers in the
elevator district were received asking j
the council to rescind its action in .
creating Jhe district and levying the
spcial tax to cover the cost of the con-
demnation proceedings against th--.
property of Mrs. S. A. Chase.
City Recorder Livy Stipp was in
structed to advertise for bills at once

SAW LIVELY TIMES IN-

Edward Bruns, of Sandy, was in
Oregon City Saturday. Mr. Bruns re-,
cently returned from an extended trip
in the South and East. He first went
to California, and in turn visited in
Mexico, Texas, New Orleans, Wash

Detroit and Milwaukie. Mr. Bruns I
was married in -Wisconsin and will
leave, with his bride, in a few days,
for San Diego, Cal., to spend the win

sively in this country, this being his
third transcontinental trip. He saw
some of the stirring scenes among the
revolutionists in Mexico.

anxiety. No one attempts fo disguise
the view that the developments of the
last 24 hours in Mexico City have pre
cipitated what probably is the most
serious situation since Huerta took of

It is now thought by those in charge
that the combined amounts should
total several hundred dollars. Such
a sum would enable the woman and
her children to live comfortably
through the winter, it is believed. .
Mrs. Snyder and her two young
daughters are in destitute circum

Slush and Mud is Lot of
Carriers in Gloomy
Winter Months
The subscribers of a morning paper
seldom realize the work attendant up
on the carrier service, or the organiza
tion necessary for prompt and effi
cient delivery. Few people' consider
for a moment that the "paper boys"
must deliver their papers so early in
the morning that for most of the year
it is yet dark, or that they must go
over their routes independent of the
weather cr the condition of the
streets.
They must start on t:eir routes so
early in the morning that practically
no one is on the street. They must
see that their papers are placed on
the porches of their subscribers and
put there so that the wind will not
blow them aay or si that tie rain
cannot wet them.
They must made through slush and
mud for their papers must . be de
livered whether it rains or shines or
snows. All else is secondary to one
fact, nothing counts but one thing,
and that is they must see that each
customer gets his paper.
Then there is the people they meet
the knocks they get. But it is-these
very knocks, the very fact that they
must get up before daylight; that
moulds character and makes back
bone that is of infinite value in future
years.
DIN DEAFENS AS ALL
WHISTLES SCREECH
Whistles blew, every horn that
could be bought, begged or stolen was
in use, the sirens of the mills and the
screamers of the steamboats in the
river added to the general noise and
confusion when the hour struck on
which President Wilson touched the
magic spark that blew the last dyke
in the Panama canal into atoms and
opened the waterway to commence.
Oregon City had one of the biggest
celebrations in years. Business was
suspended and the people of the city
joined with the mills and steamers and
vied with each other in creating the
most confusion for the day. The pro
clamation of Mayor Jones had its ef
fect and the people co-operated with
the mayor in properly ushering in the
hour that opened the canal and turned
the immigration to the coast.
PAPER COMPANY TO

The Willamette Pulp & Paper Co.

will be for an eight-inch or ten-inch

Don E. Meldrum has the work in hand

BY LIGHTER TEAM
Although their opponents averaged
20 pounds heavier to- the man, and
were more experienced in the game,
the Oregon City high school football
team held down the McMinnville
eleven to a two to nothing score.
The game was close and hard
fought from beginning to end. It was
not until the last minute that the
score of the game was made when the
McMinnville team successfully exe
cuted a place kick.
Coach Wagner was highly satisfied
with (be result, considering the dif
ference in weight, the fact that the
McMinnville team was more exper
ienced and that they played on a
strange field.

The Barclay football team clearly
showed its superiority over the Glad
stone team Saturday when it out-play,
ed and out manouvered the latter team
to the tune of 18 to 6.
Although the score was large, the
game was hotly contested by both
sides. The chief fault with the Glad
stone team was the lack of team work.
They would capture the ball and work
their way down the field by mere
force and then loose their advantage

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 11. Oregon
City will be supplied with Bull Run
water from the reservoirs of Portland
provided that city, in addition to con
structing a main from tho rpfiprirnip
to the Oregon City water system, pays
rortiana a rental and help pays the
interest on bond issued by the city
to install the Portland water system.
The city commission at a meeting
yesterday agreed upon the financial
considerations to be involved in the
arrangement. Oregon Citv will he ob
liged to construct the main from reser
voir jno. 1 at Mount Tabor to Oregon
City, and will Dav a rental nt the
following rates: For the first 4500,
22 Vz cents for each 1000 gallons; for
the next 150,000 gallons, 16 2-3 cents
ior eacn looo gallons; for all over
154,500 galLons 13 1-3 cents for each
1000 gallons. In addition to these
charges Oregon City will pay ' Port
land $2000 a year to apply on the out
standing city water bonds issued for
the construction of the Bull Run pipe
line and the Mount Tabor reservoirs.
It is estimated that under the or
rangement Oregon City would pay
Portland $98.74 a day, $2962.20 a
month or $38,040.10 a year for wa
ter rentals. A meter is to be installed
at some place along the line to mea
sure the amount of water used.

"Mr. Mayor, I move that the city

standing that the city will pay for the

later determined.".-
With that motion, John F. Albright,

again after things had rather quieted
"down, in the argument between the
council and the board over the con
struction to supply the new elevator.
The motion passed. The board will
probably meet early this . week and
take some action on the council's de
mand. The motion carries with it instruc
tions to build the line from the 10-inch
main and to make connections to the
elevator main. The city is willing to
pay for the pipe and to pay a proper
rental for the water used.
The question also raised the point
as to whPther the city should make a
