THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, 'APRIL' 25, 1901". JUDGE CAKE OUTFLANKED PIACK AXDHOWERS MASTERS OP COUNTY BUSINESS. Er-Commlssloner Steele Given Fall Chnrfire ot Roads Contracts - Awarded for Stationery. County Judge Cake yesterday lost two points in the controversy with Commis sioners Slack and Showers. TV. B. Steele, ex-County Commissioner, was appointed Hoadmaster by Commissioners Showers and Mack, at a salary of $100 a month, the appointment to take effect May 1. The contract for books for the county was awarded to Glass & Prudhomme, whose bid, $732, was the lowest. The contract for printing1 was let to Mann & Abbott, whose bid was $329. Judge Cake voted In the negative on both occasions. The Roadmaster act was passed at the recent session of the Legislature, .and is an important measure. Under its pro visions, the officer is placed In charge of the Road Supervisors, all road and bridge work' and tools, and is authorized to de termine In what manner the Road Super visors shall expend the road tax. The law also provides lor Toad work by con tract, or otherwise. Judge Cake objected to the appointment on the ground of economy and that a Roadmaster was not required. The matter was sprung late In the fore noon session, when it was supposed a mo tion to adjourn would be in order. Com missioner Mack suddenly remarked: ""Walt just a minute. 1 think it is a good' time to appoint a Roadmaster, as we are allowed to do under the law passed lay the recent Legislature." Judge Cake seemed taken by surprise but interrupted quickly, saying: "I ob ject. A Roadmaster would be an orna ment in the fullest sense of the word. There is absolutely no need for one. We have 11 Road Supervisors, and we can attend to the rest of It." -Commissioner Mack was not taken aback, but responded quietly: ""Well, I want one. It is all right He will have general supervision over the roads." "If you can figure but -where a Road master is coming in, I wish you would xlo o," answered Judge Cake. "The legislature evidently wanted one," said Mr. Mack, smiling. "It's up to you, Mr. Showers," re marked Judge Cake, looking toward the other Commissioner. Commissioner Showers, who had pre viously remained still, on being appealed to, simply said: "I second the motion." Commissioner Mack was asked to state his motion for the benefit of Deputy Coun ty Clerk Swetland, who was keeping the xecord of the meeting. Mr. Mack said it was for the appointment of a Road master at a salary of $100 per month, to take effect May 1. Judge Cake then said: "I want It un derstood that the chairman refuses to sign any such order, and I protest against any such action being taken." "While you are about it," continued Commissioner Mack, "you might as well put in the name of W. B. Steele as the Roadmaster." Commissioner Showers evidently had not been paying strict attention, as he Tomalncd silent, causing Judge Cake to remark to Mr. Mack: "Are you running this yourself?" Mr. Showers spoke up, "I second it." Mr. Steele was declared elect ed. The matter being over. Judge Cake could not suppress a little laugh, and his colleagues also smiled broadly. The new act was called to the attention of Judge Cake by the Commissioners sev eral days ago and the appointment of a Roadmaster was then suggested. He asked time to read over and consider the measure, and action was deferred to per mit him to do so. The law Is a sweeping one. Section 1 empowers the County Court In each county to levy a tax of not more than 10 mills for road purposes on all of the taxable property of the county. Other parts of the act are 'as follows: "That the County Commissioners or the County Court of each county In this state may. at the first regular session after the passage of this act, and its approval by the Governor, appoint one or more com petent persons to superintend the con struction, Improvement and repairs of all county roads and bridges in their respect ive counties, wdio shall be designated the County Roadmasters, whose term of office shall expire at the first regular ses sion of the County Court In the year 1902, at which time and annually thereafter It shall be the duty of the County Court to appoint a Roadmaster or masters, who shall serve one year, or until Ills suc cessor Is appointed and. qualified, and unless said office becomes vacant by res ignation, death or removal for cause, and the County Court, wihen they appoint a Roadmaster or masters, shall pay said officer or officers a salary sufficient to jus tify a competent person or persons to devote ' his or their whole lime to the matter of roads and bridges, from March 1 to December 1 of each year." A bond of $2000 is required. "The County Roadmaster shall have the power to determine when and. in what manner the Road Supervisors . . . shall expend the tax . . . and the Instruc tions of the Roadmaster in all matters relating to the construction, Improvement or repair of public roads and bridges shall be implicitly obeyed by said Road Super visors. It shall be the duty of the County Roadmaster to assist the County Court to -ipTepare- the specifications to govern work to be done under contracts, superin tend all work done upon county roads and bridges, whether done under contracts or xindertheRoacLSupervlsor; to make recom mendations to the County Court as to the method to be adopted for the construc tion. Improvement or repair of roads or bridges; to Teport in writing to the Coun ty Court as often as they shall require as to the progress of the work on the icads and bridges in the county; to inves tigate petitions for road improvements, and report his findings and recommenda tions to the County Court in writing; to have charge of all county road tools and' Teport any shortage to the court, whose duty it shall be to charge up such short age to the Supervisor of the road district which is short of any tools belonging to the county, and collect the value of such such shortage from the Road Supervisor, and when any contract shall be complet ed, he shall certify such fact to the Coun ty Court In writing, and the County Court shall not pay for the work until the Coun ty Roadmaster shall have certified in writing that the contract has been com pleted in conformity with the conditions, terms and specifications thereof.1' Section 4 provides for advertising for bids for road work, etc. Section 5 provides that the County Road master shall see that moneys are expend ed In a judicious manner, and that a contract shall be let whenever. In the judgment of the County Court, it will re sult in the most good, otherwise men and teams may be employed. The County Court Is also authorized to purchase one or more rock-crushere. A bill of this kind is said to have been framed by a committee of the Oregon Road Club, of which I. A. Macrum was chairman, and presented to the Legis lature two years ago, but it failed to get through. It is said to be in the interest of systematic improvement of roads, and that it will lessen expense, as the Road master can see that road work is done properly and expeditiously. Mr. Steele has followed the contracting business, and is said to be well qualified for the posl ' ticn. The letting of the contract for books -tfor the county, and the contract for print ing, awarded to Glass & Prudhomme, and Mann & Abbott, respectively, also brought forth an unavailing protest from Judge Cake. His position, as previously stated, was that the lowest Item or items In 'each bid should be picked out. Com missioner Mack voted to let the contract to those whose bids in the aggregate were the lowest as the correct business prlncl ple,and as conforming to the general un derstanding when bids were advertised for. A large delegation of printers and bookbinders were in attendance. Judge Cake asked if they had anything to say, but no speeches were made. Commissioner Mack put the motionr and Commissioner Showers voted with him. Judge Cake announced that he would not sign the contracts, and instructed the clerk that the order letting the contracts would be signed by the two Commission ers. This is sufficient under the law. The delay in awarding contracts for sup plies is causing some irritation among firms which have submitted bids, and fre. quent calls ate made by representatives of business houses at the office of the County Clerk with inquiries concerning when the question of bids is to be dis posed of. One person remarked that he put In a bid on hardware weeks ago, and that the figures were meant to cover the present time, and not several months hence. Objections are made to the pur-' chase of supplies by the County Judge on requisitions. It is contended that the Drls coll bill requiring bids has been declared valid and binding In an opinion rendered by District Attorney Chamberlain, and that nothing can be purchased for the county except by contract; that the law provides for bids and contracts, and ought to be strictly adhered to, and warrants is sued for supplies otherwise ordered should be enjoined. Attention is called to the fol lowing section of the act: "All warrants drawn in pursuance of any contract for public work or the pur- 1 Men Prominent in Multnomah. Driving - .Association. 'CqUS Rosen'Slatt BEAD THE MINUTER MuD chase of any supplies or material, unless upon public bidding therefor, as herein before directed, shall be void and unen forclble, whether In the hands of Innocent third parties or otherwise." READY TO REMOVE REEF. Drill Scow Goes Down to Astoria To- day to Begin Worlc. The drill scow built and fitted up by Hale & Kern for carrying out their con tract for removlnc: the Sylvia de Grasse reef from the channel In front of tJpper Astoria goes down river this morning to commence operations. The scow Is fitted with two spuds at the rear and two larger ones In front, which can be hoisted and lowered by steam power, and which when pressed firmly on the bottom will, with an anchor put out from each corner, hold the scow securely In place while drilling is going on. The large spuds In front have a small engine on top of each for operating the drills. An iron pipe is attached to the ground side of each of these spuds, down through which the drills run. These drills are attached to a long screw, by which they can be raised or lowered. The spuds allow some play to the barge, which can rise or fall with the tide while drilling Is going on, and as she can be moved readily and can be firmly held In place, the work of drilling and blasting the reef will doubtless pro ceed rapidly In favorable weather. The drill scow Is accompanied by a scow fitted with tanks to bring fresh water from the shore for the engines and for cooking purposes, and has a house which furnishes quarters for the men employed, who will number about 16. There is also a clam-shell dredge con nected with the outfit for removing the rock blasted. The former contractor used a platform mounted on spuds for drill ing from, which answered very we'll in some respects, but much time was lost In moving it. A 25-horse power engine In the barge furnishes powr for all pur poses required. ACTIONS WERE SUSPICIOUS. Trvo Loafers Ordered to Leave Town or Go to Jail.- Two young men, giving the names of J. B. Smith and George Evans, were ar raigned for. trespass in the Municipal Court yesterday. 'Mrs. Hughee, landlady of the Rosamond lodging-house, on North Third street, swore to having found them In one of her rooms, where they had no business, and that each said he was look ing for the other. Both men ran away, however, before she could call the police, but were overhauled by Detectives Snow and Kerrigan a few hours later. Each denied that he had ever been In Mrs. Hughes' house, although both were posi tively Identified by the complaining wit ness. Both detectives took the stand and tes tified to finding a .number of keys com monly used by burglars on Smith's per son when they arrested him. The prls. oners were rooming at Seventh and Mor rison streets, and were known to be out nights and to sleep In the day time. The officers think the young men are "crooks." Each defendant took the stand In his own behalf, and stated that he was a barkeeper by profession, but had not been employed during his three weeks stay in Portland. Neither of them had any money when arested. Judge Cameron did not think they were In Mrs. Hughes' house for any good pur pose, and considered it suspicious that neither had any money nor were looking for work. He therefore suspended sen tence and advised the" accused to leave the city. SITE FOR 1901 CARNIVAL. Committee and the M. A. A. C. Have Not Come to Terms. The Portland carnival 1901 committee has not yet definitely selected the site for the fete, though the subcommittee on location reported favorably on the Ex position building and the grounds of the Multnomah Athletic Club adjofnlng, last evening. The rate of ?1750 for the Exposition building for the month was considered reasonable, but objection was made to the price asked for the Multnomah grounds, $750 for 30 days, a percentage of receipts on athletic rights, and a resto ration of the grounds to their former con dition at the close of the carnival. The subcommittee was instructed to offer the club a fiat rate of $750 and the percentage of receipts to be left to the amusement committee, to arrange further. All sub committees are to report at the next meetliigL Wednesday evening, May 1, at S o'clock. WANT ROAD WIDENED HORSE-LOVERS DISCUSS SIDE DRIVE. BITER- Mnltnomah Association' "Will Push the Matter of a Broader Boule vardCommittees. Enthusiasm over the new- project to widen the Riverside drive and plans to water the road and make the driveway one of which the citizens of Portland may be proud was the characteristic of the meeting of the "Multnomah Driving Asso ciation last night. The members assem bled at the Commercial Club for the an nual election of officers, and took occa sion to discuss the affairs of the associa tion and the need of the city with respect to having one boulevard suitable for driv ing, that could be kept in condition worthy of a city of 100,000 Inhabitants. President H. C. Breeden presided over the meeting, and called for the reports of the association's officers. Secretary Treasurer Rosenblatt reported that the total receipts for 1900 had been $1085 95, and the disbursements $955 55, leaving a favor able balance for beginning the work of. this year of $152 30. The election of officers was then held, resulting In the unanimous AREY. r ' HI in 1 -ir- ft- " VI T L .-r-l.i Ca E -J ' lfe ,DJ5CyS"5.D JHE SiTOATJON.,,. selection of the following: President, H. C. Breeden; vice-president, Charles H. Carey; secretary-treasurer, Gus Rosen blatt. President Breeden urged the members to keep up their loyalty to the organiza tion, and to unite in securing at least one good road for driving in the city. "Enough money Is spent In the county," said he. "to secure at least one good road In the county for driving purposes, xne jviuit- nomah Driving Association should center Its Influence on one road, and make a united effort to keep that In good con dition. That road Is the Riverside drive. "We should exert our Influence with the County Commissioners to accomplish that ond. Nature has done everything for us, and if we unite we can have a drive for at least six or eight miles that will be a credit to the city and Its citizens." Secretary Rosenblatt also made remarks along these lines. He said: "There Is hardly a citizen In the city that does not partake of the benefits of the action of the Multnomah Driving Association in keeping the " Riverside drive watered in the summer. It is used every day by funerals, and people hire vehicles and hacks to drive out there. If the Driving Association neglepted for one year to keep the road watered, the people would be so inconvenienced by the dust that th fr.t nt th nXiaH TOi the efforts of the association would be more appreciated. There should be 'a greater amount of Interest taken In the drive by the citizens, everyone of whom should take a pride In assisting to give Portland a drive that would be a credit to the city." j Regarding the project for widening the Riverside roadway, C. H. Carey said: "I I have considered the project for some time. , and believe that the time Is now rtpe to push it to a successful completion. I have discussed the matter with several of the County Commissioners and many of the property owners, and believe that they will be willing to give up the neces sary 10 feet on each side of the road to make a beautiful boulevard. The time to is widened by these donations along thei drive, the improvement dan easily be mafia the inia o-nA hnllnnrc toli-on the road graded with macadam center. and there will then be room. along each side for dirt roadways for the speeding and light teams. Then the New Park Commission can take charge of the road, beautify it and , plant beds of flowers along It, and give the city a boulevard such as we ought to have.

Inasmuch as valuable horses were often injured by nailsand spikes, it was decided to urge a vigorous enforcement this year as in the past. The Improvement of Xelly street was also discussed as advisable. Messrs. Zimmerman and Lohmlre reported that a petition was being circulated among the property owners, and that the matter would probably be referred to the City Council within a few weeks. Smelter for Standard Mine. BAKER CITY, April 24. United States Marshal Zoeth Houser has returned to Portland after visiting the Standard mine, in which he ls interested, in the Quartz burg district. It was hinted that the Marshal's visit was more In the nature of an official tour in search of offenders against the United States timber laws, but when questioned he had lost all rec ollection of any official business, and was very enthusiastic over his mining in terests. He said that all arragements had been made to move the smelter from Sumpfer over to Dixie Creek, as soon as the roads shall be In fit condition. The smelted will f be located convenient to this mine, so that the ore can be treated and so re duced as to make it profitable to ship. BELIEVE IT IS LEGAL. Views of Kindergarten Association About School Moneys. That the members of the Kindergarten Association have unshaken faith in the successful outcome of the controversy re garding school moneys for kindergarten purposes, Is being plainly demonstrated this week by the opening of the two new 'schools and by other plans for extending the work. Yesterday afternoon the su 'Perintendent, Miss Valentine Prlchard, voiced the feelings of the association to a representative of The Oregonian, giving a detailed account of the matter as it appears from their point of view. "At the January meeting of taxpayers and the School Board," she said, "it was voted to Incorporate the kindergarten as part of our public school system, and increase the tax levy one-fifth of a mill, thereby raising $5000 to be devoted to this purpose. This meeting was well adver tised beforehand In the dally papers, about 500 printed circulars explaining the sit uation were also sent out by the associ ation to taxpayers, and with these. were notices requesting their presence at the January meeting. If the taxpayers were not there In full force, therefore, no one can be blamed but themselves. The re sponsibility of deciding the question BREEDEN. ELECTED PRESIDENT... clearly devolved upon those who were present, at the meeting. "Soon after this a meeting of the School Board was held in which a com mittee from the Kindergarten Association offered to turn over to the board the three kindergartens, with all their furn ishings and supplies. But the School " ""," "'", ""AH,. v X the remainder of the year, promising to support them. It Is supposed that the School Board was led to make this re quest, knowing that the association had conducted the work during 15 years, and therefore might reasonably be expected to understand the needs of the schools better than the School Board could un derstand them at such short notice. "At the regular meeting of the School Board early In March, a committee of the Kindergarten Association again went before the Board and that body agreed to furnish the association the use of the $5000 as it should be collected from the taxes. Acting upon this assurance, and belevlng then, as now, that the action was legal In every respect, the association decided to establish two new kindergart ens, to adopt and partially support one at Third and Harrison, and also furnish much needed supplies and repairs for the three original kindergartens. All this has "fT"lS T fif wnnSJ a 1; opened last Monday, April 22. In Case Money Is Refused. "Unless notice Is received from the School Board that they will not furnish money already promised, the work will be continued. But should such notice be given the six kindergartens will be closed, as the association Is not In a condition to support them. In that case, doubtless. friends of the kindergarten movement wnnlH foil It n(noocnrv tf Virlncr If in the point of litigation, feeling confident of their legal right to receive support, This matter of adjusting the kinder garten question to the public school sys tem Is not a unique question, but has been met and decided by some 200 school boards In our larger cities, which now u tn!s s?biech And !t Toud ? a ?reat puy, l arP " nw ony " taK,e it up tj" m u lew jc-cua, aa me uitv win naturally wish to do If it is to keep pace with educational progress In other cities. The kindergartens are a part of the public school system of Portland, made so by the action of the Joint meeting of taxpayers who are 'qualified electors' and the School Board; and legalized by state law passed some three years ago, as set forth In section 1 and section 46 resulted In adapting the kindergarten. provlngthat It has not only the moral and educational, but also the legal right to be Incorporated as part of the public school systepi, and receive support from public funds In cities of such states as have cast laws regarding the kindergarten. - Plan of Co-operation. . "Many cities have taken the kinder garten directly under the control of the SSSLflfSlS. TffV,",0''"? Z co-operate with the Kindergarten Assoc! atlon, as in Pittsburg and Allegheny City. Pittsburg contributes $25,000 and Allegheny City $12,000 of the public school money for the support of the public school kin dergarten; and In addition to that each district contributes $150 for furnishings. I The work In each city ls controlled by theKindergarten Association. This is one of the most successful plans of public school work In any of our American cities. Separate buildings for the kindergarten are not necessary nor desirable, both be cause of the additional expense, and be cause If occupying the same building with the other grades, a closer connection can be made between the kindergarten and the primary department. This ls the plan adopted, in almost every city. "Concerning the subject of certification, whenever the kindergarten is adopted into the public school system the klndergart ners In charge expect and are willing to take - the necessary steps to obtain the required, certificates In order to draw pub lic money. And this matter is being at tended to here. Superintendent Rigler and, Mrs. SItton are the committee ap pointed to look after this and they have asked me to co-operate with them. ' "The members of the Kindergarten As sociation feel that they are now conduct ing the kindergartens of 'this city in trust for the School Board, and will be prepared to render a full report of all work ac complished and all money expended, and to turn over to the Board the full control of r the work whenever they shall de slrp It."
