THREATENS TO
QUIT EFFORTS
CARVER GETS TIRED OF ALL THE
KICKS THXT ARE MADE TO
CITY FATHERS
HE INTENDS NO INJURY TO VALUES
Thinks the Town Needs New Lne and
Promises to Build Such Im
provements as Will- Make
Street Much Belter
Unless the property owners along
Water street realize the value of a
competing line into the city and with
draw their objections to the construc
tion of such a line, Stephen Carver
may quit.
At the council meeting Monday
night, the franchises of the Clackamas
Southern and the Carver line were un
der consideration, section by section.
The property owners were there in
force objecting to the construction of
the line on the ground that it would
injure their values along that street.
Finally, matters came to such a point
that Mr. Carver arose in the meeting
and declared that he would no longer
press his application for the franchise
along the street unless the owners
quit making the fight that they had
made upon him.
Not Intended to Injure.
"When I applied for this franchise,
I did not believe that the presence of
a competiting line in this territory
would so badly injure the city as the
property owners would now lead me
to believe. I thought that the improve
ment of the . street according to our
plans, the erection of an expensive
steel bridge and such other improve
ments as would be necessary for our
road would be of benefit to a growing
city. I believed then, as I do now, that
there is a big future ahead of this
city if the people but take a hold on
the opportunities for development that
are brought to them.
"I do not care to impose upon the
people. If this city council and the
property owners believe that the con
struction of such a road would be an
imposition and thatat will hurt the
town. I shall at once withdraw my
application and shall no longer make
the fight for the franchise. If such
is the case, I am sorry that I have
fooled away so much valuable time
when there are other cities that have
been asking for the road.
Logan Wants It.
"Logan, for instance, wants us to
take it into consideration. We want
to come to Oregon City but propose to
do nothing that will injure the city
nor its people. Another point has
been raised over the possibility of our
selling the franchises after we have
secured them from the various city
councils. Under the terms of our
Portland franchise, it would be impos
sible for us to sell to a competing line.
We cannot sell to the Southern Pa
cific nor to the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Co."
The members of the city council and
some of the protesting property own
ers at once objected to the charge that
they were against the entrance of the
new road into the city. They wanted
the council to provide proper guaran
tees to the people and the Water
street property owners do not like the
idea of the road passing in front of
their homes. They hope that the line
can come into the city by some other
route.

. Even if They Cost
Progressiveness was the central
thought in a short but pointed speech
by Councilman Horton at thft' fran
chise meeting of the city council and
the property owners Monday night.
Pointing to past mistakes that the
city has made in refusing to allow
competing lines to enter the territory
and throwing obstacles in the path
of new lines, he declared that he be
lieved the city would be committing
gross error if it did anything that
would prevent the construction of a
new railroad through the town.
Great Mistake.
"I believe it would be a great mis
take," said Mr. Horton, "if this city
council and the people should do any
thing that would cause them to lose
this road. I believe that Oregon City
needs a new line and that it ought to
encourage, rather than prevent, the
construction of every line that wantaJ
to enter, here
"I presume that I shall be censured
for the statement but I Iselieve that
the interests of the city are greater
and more important than those of any
individual or any sets of individuals.
The things that are for the benefit of
the whole community should be taken
into consideration .by the council even
though to push them through should
injure some individual taxpayers of
the city.
City's Interest Important.
"In matters of street improvements,
we do not consider the objections of
the taxpayers as above those of the
whole people of the city. For my
part, I would rather have given away
the lots upon which one of my houses
stands than pay for the improvement
that the city has ordered there and
which will cost me more than the lot
is worth. It is a benefit to the peo
ple of the city that such an improve
ment should be made. I suffer the
consequences of the action of the coun
cil but my interests are not as great
as those of the whole people and the
council believes the work necessary.
"It seems to me that just such an
argument should apply in the present
case. The interests of the people are
centered in this road. It would bene
fit the whole people. We ought to get
it even if it does hurt a few of us."

Donates Sum to Aid
. City and Its Club
After years of isolation and many
many promises of railroads, Sandy at
last is assured of a means of keeping
in touch with the outside world dur
ing the winter months.
The Sandy Commercial club, with
the aid of the Portland Automobile
club and a special tax levy, will build
a graveled thoroughfare from Sandy
to connect with the Multnomah coun
ty line. That body has raised $1000
the Portland association has donated
a like sum, and this and next year's
road tax will be 10 mills.
Actual work will be started on the
first of January and it is thought
that .by the fore part of June the work
can be completed. The highway iu
its present route is called the "bluff
road" and skirts along the edge of the
bluff which borders the Sandy river.
The view of Mt. Hood is considered
one of the best from the Sandy valley.
The length of the road will be about
seven miles.
The "present route to Portland is by
stage to Boring and then over the rails
of the P. R., L. & P. company. To
truck freight to the city, the wagons
must go over some of the poorest
roads in the western part of the state.
Most of the winter they are consid
ered practically impassiable.
In the past years this city has been
almost isolated from outside points.
Only the most determined of travelers
could make the tiresome and muddy
trip over the Boring road.
The average man may have music in
his soul, but his voice spoils it.

Argues that City Ought to be Proud
of Number of Roads it has and
Size of Traffic Running
on Its Streets
After the wrangling in the city
council chambers Monday night, it
was practically decided to allow the
two railroads that have applied for
franchises the right to double track
the portion of Water street over which
they propose to run and to build such
other turn outs and passing tracks
as may be needed.
The argument over the double track
ing of the street took up a large share
of the council session. Some of the
members and various property hold
ers objected to this beacuse of the
heavy traffic that would pass through
the street and cause a loss in value
to adjoining property.
Harvey E. Cross, attorney for Car
ver, declared that he believed it would
be a good thing for the city if the bus
iness justified the double tracks and
thought that the company should be
allowed to use all of the trackage that
"it might need in bringing into the city
such business as came over its lines.
"The queston of the number of poles
with double brackets extending over
both tracks and that this line could
be placed in the center of the street.
The council's idea was to eliminate all
unnecessary poles and to confine the
number to a single line placed at dis
tances of 100 feet, is possible.
Those present at the council meet
ing were, Mayor Jones, Councilmen
Tooze, Horton, Beard, Long, and Metz

SANDY, Ore., Nov. 24. (Special)
"I believe that Thomas F. McCabe
killed his wife in self-defense and
then, after deliberating upon his deedi
committed suicide." This was the'
statement of James Deschazer, a farm
er of Firwood and a neighbor of the
McCabes, Monday to a representative
of the Morning Enterprise. '
"I am road supervisor and when Mc
Cabe came to work on the roads for
the last time, he showed me his band
aged hand and told me that his wife
had one of her 'crazy spells' and thai
she had hit him. He said that his wife
would loose her mind and become vi
olently insane. At such times she
would go after him with her teeth
and hands.
, "Mrs. McCabe was naturally a ro
bust woman while her husband was
hardly her equal. He told me that
when she lost control of herself she
would become violent and, with all the
strength of an insane' person,- would
'go after' her husband and children."
"I saw him again, shortly before the
murder and suicide and he told me
that affairs at his home were grow
ing worse. He said that his wife was
becoming more and more violent and
that her 'spells' were wearing on him
so that he was becoming weaker. He
said, she is growing stronger all the
time. If she has another 'fit' I don't
know what I shall do. I believe that
she would over-power me.
"A bullet was found in the wall just
above the floor and I think that it was
fired during a struggle, . for McCabe
would not have missed that far.
"I have known McCabe for some
tie and Ihave always thought of
him as a mig'hty fine sort of a man.
I know that he loved his wife and his
children and would not have killed
Mrs. McCabe unless driven to it."
