Council Believes Public Clamor Will
Force Board to Lay Pipe and
Deliver a Supply to
Large Main
The first shipments for the . new
elevator at Seventh street have been
received and the city has been noti
fied that the goods are either on the
railroad sidingT here or in the yards
at Portland.
One car of steel for the tower,
weighting about 36,000 pounds, has,
' been received in the yards and is
awaiting the action of the contractors
before being unloaded and carried to
the ground where the tower is to be
built.
The elevator itself is now in. the
yards of the railroods at Portland
where it is awaiting the order for
shipment to the city. It is considered
useless, however, for the elevator to
be brought to the site until the steel
itself is ready for use and is in place.
The city plans to go ahead with the
construction of the tower and elevator
and to have the work rushed to com
pletion as soon as possible. It be
lieves that, should the available funds
become exhausted, the people will
authorize the council to issue bonds
to cover the amount then deficient.
The council, too, believes that the
dispute on between it and the mem
bers of the board of water commis
sioners will come to a head after the
work on the elevator Is completed. It
plans to go ahead with the construc
tion work and to wait for the water.
Should the board persist in the course
that it has now outlined and shoula
it continue to refuse the city with the
water for the elevator main, the coun
cil then could turn to the people and
say, "The elevator isn't running be
cause your board won't supply the wa
ter. We have done our share of the
work. We spent your money for the
elevator. That's all that you instruct
ed us to do. If your elevator doesn't
work, blame the members of the wa-"
ter board. It's their afult."
A. C. Howland is in Grant's Pass on

BROWN CASE GOES
OVER TO NOVEMBER
The trial of M. J. Brown, editor of
the Oregon City Courier, a weekly pa
per, scheduled for today has been
postponed until the term of court in
November. The particular charge
against Brown on wmcn tne grand
jury returned its indictment was that
be ran afoul of the libel statute when
he published a statement that the
county commissioners had rebated
their own taxes, according to the al
legation. Brown is said to have commented
upon certain items in the monthly
statement of the county court in a
way that the grand jury evidently con
ceived was reflection upon the com
missioners and the court. The case
will now be placed on the November
calendar.

The birthdays of Elmer H. Cooper
and his eldest grand daughter, Nellie
Baron, aged three years, were cele
brated at Mr. Cooper's residence Sun
day afternoon with a family dinner.
This has become an annual event
in Mr. Cooper's family and the genial

Commission is one of the youngest
grandfathers in the city, as well as
one of the proudest. He was 52 years
of age Sunday.
GOVERNMENT AGREES
TO HELP ON WATER
H. A. Rands reports from Spring
it ater that the work of survey to the
south fork of the Clackamas from Ore
gon City for water supply is progress
ing as rapidly as the rough weather
and conditions will permit. He has a
crew of five men and expects to fin
ish the work by October 30.
He reports that the wiering of the
stream showed at low water 24 sec
ond feet, while governments records
shows minimum of 27 second feet,
which will be ample for even Port
land's present needs.
The point of intake is 794 feet above
the city, while Oregon City's reservoir
is 400 feet, giving a fall of 344 feet
in 25 miles.
, It is expected that a large reservoir
for a week's supply will be found en
route, thus ensuring' Oregon City's
continuous supply of pure water at all
times. .
The chief forester of the United
States government, was seen by the
committee and says he would be glad
to co-operate with Oregon City's offi
cials and that he has a regular agree
ment tor the purpose of making per
manent reserves and the patrolling of
same for city water supplies. He
says, further, that this would be even
better than Bull Run's method of pa
trol as the whole government service
will be at the command of the city in
case of emergency.
An opening meeting will be called
at an early date.

tric Hotel are: R. Jones, W. N. Cur

ROAD FILES SUIT
FOR FREIGHT BILL
Suit has been filed against the city
by the Southern Pacific railroad com-1
pany for the collection of $32.33, said
to be due on a freight bill for one of
the filter units at the city water plant.
The suit dates baclt to October 24, i
1910, when the Pacific .Tank & Pipe
company of San Francisco, shipped to !
the -city the unit f or the plant. Under !
the agreement the shipper was to pay
the frsight. The city, however, ad-.
vanced the money in order to get the '
load off of the cars and then took the
amount out of the sum that was to be
paid for the unit.
Later, however, the railroad sent a
draft saying that" there had been an
overcharge to the extent of that paper.
The city immediately forwarded that
amount to the pipe company. Now
the company demands .more money on
the ground that there was an under
charge rather than an overcharge.
Unless the city fights the case, it has
no chance to recover from the pipe
company, it is said.- The original bill
was for $110:50 of which $78.17 Is
credited to the city account.
The case was filed in the court of
Justice John Seivers.

SUSPENSION
EDISON
OREGON CITY; WOOLEN" MILLS
CANNOT GET HELP TO
- RUN FACTORY
REFUSES $100,000 IN ORDERS ;
Lack of Workers Prevents Enlarge
ment of Plant and Cuts Down
Daily Output of Large
Company ,
Shortage of women is crippling the
plant at the Oregon City Woolen mills.
Were it not for the shortage in the
supply of female help, the company
would carry out its plans to material
ly enlarge the output of the factory
and to increase the number of orders
that it can daily fill.
The reason for this shortage is pro
ably the lack of boarding and room-'
ing accomodations that the city can
provide. The number of rooming
houses where a girl may stay and
work at the mills are limited and the
private families that will take in extra
roomers are few. The problem of ac
comodation has been one that has
prevented the enlargement of the
plant several times and now makes
it almost impossible for the concern
to triple the present output of the fact
ory. -
In the last few weeks, the outpuj
has been materially increased, in
spite of this handicap, however. It
has been more than doubled. Just
now it has 80 girls and women in its
employe, earning by piece work from
$35 to $70 a month. All of the work
is done by iriachinery even to the fin
est of sewing and the work is said to
be easy and not at all exhausting.
So decided has been this shortage
in help that the company has in the
past few weeks refused $100,000 worth
of orders that it might have filled had
there been amy way to get the women
to do the work and to keep them here-'
after they were imported.
The officials of the concern believe
that the onlysolution to the problem
is the erection of aY. M. C. A. where
the girls may board and room and
where provision can be made for their
entertainment. They believe that the
pay roll of the company would be de
cidedly enlarged if the girls had prop
er places to live ond pomt to the fact
that the factory is running all of the
year and that the employment is con
tinuous: -,.''
