STREET. WORK TO
BEDONEPROMPTLY
Contractors Will No Longer Be
Given Extensions of
Time.
FINES WILL BE-ASSESSED
Street Committee Declares That De
lays Will Not Bo Tolerated
Hpreafter and Fair Warn
ing Is Given.
The street committee of the Executive
Board, at its meeting yesterday after-
BV C. D. NAIRN, AMITV, OB.;
FEMALE COLLIE IX SHOW.
noon, acted upon a suggestion made by
George W. Simons, of the Pacific Bridge &
Construction Company, and decided to
force contractors on street work to live
up to their contracts or be fined, as per
agreement. This means the termination
on all future contracts, of the exceeding
leniency of the committee. Several results
are likely, one being that far less bids
will be received on street work.
The action was taken only after years
of hard effort on the part of the street
committee and the Executive Board to
facilitate street work and to show
absolute fairness to contractors; to bear
with the latter because of the many
features that enter into their work, and
to encourage them in finishing improve
ments speedily. Owing to the fact that
the municipality is not equipped to take
charge . of such work, in case of failure
by the contractors, it has been impossible
for the city to enforce strict compliance
with agreements.
Contractors Meet Difficulties.
Some contractors have taken so much
work that they have been unable to de
liver any portion of it promptly. Others
have met with difficulties, from time to
time, which have forced them to seek of
the Executive Board repeated, extensions
of time on the contracts. This has always
been taken up by the street committee,
the members of which are R. L. Sabin,
Richard Wilson and D. A. Patullo. Mayor
Lane being ex-officio chairman. Great
patience and pains have been the in
variable rule of the committee, and they
have never fined any contractor, each
time taking the view that nothing would
be gained thereby.
Mayor Lane has for some time favored
levying fines on certain delinquent con
tractors, especially the Pacific Bridge
Company and Harry Howard. ' This atti
tude, however, the members of the com
mittee did not uphold, and to date tines
have noUJieen levied.
Yesterday afternoon, while the members
of the street committee of the Executive
Board were engaged In the transaction
of the routine business incident to their

position,' several petitions for extensions
of time were taken up. George W. Simon,
manager of the Pacific Bridge & Con
struction Company, was among those
present, and ho suggested that it would
be a good idea for the committee to hold
contractors in future to strict compliance
with agreements.
Too Much Work Causes Delay.
"The reason contractors do not com
plete the work on time," said Mr. Simons,
"is that they take too much work, and
can't complete it. If the word should
go out from this meeting of your com
mittee that, in all future contracts, you
mean business, 'and intend to hold con
tractors down to the terms of the con
tracts, you will not be asked for so many
extensions of time."
The remarks by Mr. Simons nettled Mr.
Sabin, who replied that, for one, he was
ready to demand strict compliance with
the terms of all contracts in future. He
said that, while the committee had been
very lenient with contractors all the I
while, he nevertheless thought that the
members had at all times entered .into
agreements in good faith, and said that,
if it is the desire of contractors to be
dealt with severely, he thought the com
mittee was capable of accommodating
them. .
. Mayor Lane expressed himself as being
of the opinion that no further leniency
should be shown contractors: that tha
time had come when . street work must
be completed promptly or fines levied.
Mr. Wilson spoke likewise. Mr. Patullo
was absent. The committee decided that
in future all contractors must finish work
in the time specified in the contracts or
take the consequences.
Must Explain Right to Do Business.
The Portland & Suburban Express Com
pany, which carries freight over the lines
of the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company, must explain to the committee
on health and police of the City Council
what rights it has in its operations.
Mayor Lane recently took action, looking
toward ascertaining some information in
this respect, as it seemed the company
had no permit to do business. A com
munication was read from the company
at yesterday's session of the Council, in
which a permit was sought. The matter
was referred for consideration. The com
pany' has no connection with the rail
way corporation.
Pioneers May Use Street.
The Oregon Pioneer Association was
granted permission to use Davis street,
between Ninth and Tenth, during- the
coming reunion, the Council in special
session yesterday afternoon voting to this
effect unanimously. A communication,
signed by J. D. Lee, president, and
George H. Himes, secretary, was read,
setting forth the desire of the pioneers,
and the Council immediately gave its
consent to the use of the street named.
East Side Wants Decorations.
Councilman Bennett yesterday after
noon introduced into the Council, at Its
special session, a resolution appropriat
ing $500 from the general fund to be used
in decorating the streets of the East Side
for the Rose Festival. The resolution
was referred to the committee on ways
and means.
BEPIITYCLERKMARSH QUITS
KES1GXS FROM FEDERAL COURT
AFTER 17 YEARS.
Popular Official Leaves to Go Into
. Fruit-Growing His Brother
v Succeeds Him.
G. H. Marsh, who for over 17 years has
been Deputy Clerk of the United States
Court, has resigned and will become a
farmer. Mr. Marsh will be succeeded by
his brother, J. N. Marsh, who has been
employed In several local banks and has
done newspaper work.
The resignation of Mr. Marsh, after so
many years of faithful service, will be
a surprise to his many friends of the
bench and bar of the state.' From the
time that he first entered the office until
his departure he has been exceedingly
popular. Always obliging and courteous
to the host of people who have business
in the office of the United States Clerk,
Mr. Marsh has made many friends who
will wish him great success In his new
-work. Mr. JMarsh has a large apple or
chard under cultivation near Underwood,
just across the river from Hood River.
'1 don't know how I will make it as a
farmer," he said yesterday, "but I do
know that I have had enough office work.
If I had remained in the office until June,
I would have been In the office . 1754
years."
Asks $7500 for Brother's Death.
A jury in Judge Wolverton's court be
gan hearing the evidence yesterday in a
damage suit brought by a brother of
Michael Welsh, who was killed while em
ployed by the Barber Asphalt Company,
at the foot of Randolph street. The
brothers, through Attorney Henry E. Mc
Ginn, are seeking to recover damages to
the extent of $7500 from the Asphalt Com
pany. After the jury had been selected,
the members were taken to the asphalt
plant and investigated the machinery in
which Welsh was caught and flayed to
death. Several witnesses testified that
when the hoisting machinery was stopped
and Welsh had been released, every
shred of clothing had been torn off.
McCourt May Call Grand Jury.
United States Attorney John Mc
Court is contemplating asking for an
other Federal grand jury, so that a
number of criminal cases which have
come up since the adjournment of the
last grand jury may be disposed of.
The Jury will begin lbs grind some
time in May, and in addition to hear-
ing evidence in a number of minor
criminal cases, there will also be an
Investigation Into some land-fraud
cases that have been hanging Are.
Among the cases that will be heard
will be that of J. Williams, now out
on $1500 -ball, who is charged .with
opium smuggling. The counterfeiting
charge made against Steve Ramsey,
alias Norls II. Byron, who has been
held under $3000 bail, will also be
given a hearing. ThPre are also sev
eral cases against postmasters and one
against Mrs. Nellie Bauer-Ragan, as
sistant postmistress of Roystcn.
Postal Business Increases.
Owing to the serious illness of his
mother, C. A. Straus, financial clerk of
the Postoffice, will not be able to prepare
his monthly statement of the business
done at the Postoffice. Postmaster Minto,
however, is confident that the month of
April, 1908, will show a 20 per cent gain
over the corresponding month of 1907.

publican State and Congressional Con
ventions May 14, and dictate the selec
tion of delegates to the National con
vention, will be contested vigorously.
Senator Bourne for some time has been
working with a view of sending an un
lnstructed delegation to the Chicago
convention from this state, but the
anti-Bourne Republicans declare they
have an organization that will not only
defeat the Senator's plans In that par
ticular direction, but -will prevent his
selection as one of the delegates if he.
becomes too insistent in demanding the
privilege of dictating the Oregon dele
gation. Of the eight delegates, four
are to be named by the state conven
tion and two each by the Congressional
conventions of the First and Second
Districts, w;hlch will meet simultane
ously with the state convention In
Portland May 14.
The state convention will consist of
239 delegates and of that number Mult
nomah County's 47 representatives not
being included, the anti-Bourne people
claim a total of 115 delegates. The
opponents of Senator Bourne assert
that they have the assurance of full
delegations from 16 of the 33 counties
of the state, representing a total of
101 delegates, as follows: Benton, 5;
Clatsop, ' 7; Douglas, 9; Gilliam, 3;
Grant, 4; Josephine, 5; Klamath, 4;
Lake, 3; Lane, 12; Marlon, 13; Polk, 6;
Sherman, 3; Wasco, 8; Washington, 8;
Wheeler, 3: Yamhill, 8. To these
should be added seven each of the eight
delegates that will be selected
In Jackson and Union Counties, and
which are claimed by the anti-Bourne
contingent.
This total of 115 undoubtedly will be
increased sufficiently by the Linn
County delegation of nine members, a
part of which will be opposed to
Bourne and his tactics, to give the
enemies of Bourne the control of the
state convention- This condition may
result not only in the failure of the
convention to send an unlnstructed
Bourne delegation, but it is within the
range of possibilities that a delegation
will be named with instructions to
work for the nomination of Secretary
Taft for the Presidency. At any rate.
It Is apparent that the state conven
tion will not accept the slate that
Bourne, has prepared, and it is alto
gether a question whether or not
Bourne will be included among the
four delegates that are to be named by
the state convention.
The attitude of the Multnomah County
delegation of 47 members as to Bourne
Is a disputed- question. Primarily they
are friends of H. M. Cake, Republican
candidate for Senator. A majority of
them, it Is understood, will be governed
altogether by the wishes of Cake In any
action that will redound to the 'advan
tage of the Republican Senatorial candi
date. That loyalty may extend to the
Indorsement of Bourne as a delegate to
the Chicago convention, but It does not
Involve the support by the delegation or
a majority of it of the proposed Bourne
unlnstructed delegation. These delegates
may be induced to accept Bourne as one
of the delegates, but they will rebel. It
is said, If any attempt is made to force
them to swallow the Bourne slate.
Bourne's strength In the Multnomah
County central committee is not Hercu
lean by any means, as may be deduced
from the election of six delegates-at-large
at the meeting of the committee
Wednesday night. By direction of the
executive committee Chairman Kennedy
was authorized to appoint six delegates
to the state convention. But Chairman
Kennedy did not care to assume the role
of dictator, and when he had announced
his selections, invited further nomina
tions. The names of other prominent
Republicans were suggested and a bal
lot was taken, with the result that
George H. Williams and T. M. Dunne,
two of the candidates nominated from
the body of the committee, were elected,
defeating George M. Orton and Thomas
McCusker, who had been named by the
chairman of the committee. McCusker
is one of Bourne's principal lieutenants.
Friends of Secretary Taft in Oregon

in the interest of his candidacy, but it is
understood that a systematic campaign

campaign will bo Inaugurated in a few
days, when Taft headquarters will be'
established in this city. In this way
Taft's friends expect to assemble in the
state convention sufficient support to in
sure sending an instructed Taft delega
tion to the National convention.

W. M. CAKEpENIES DEAL
Says He Made Xo Concession to Se
cure Election.
W. M. Cake, chairman of the Republi
can State Central Committee, yesterday
vigorously denied that his selection as
state chairman was secured in considera
tion of any 'sacrifice on his part. He de
clared that the office came to him with
out solicitation and that the adoption of
the Taft resolution had nothing what
ever to do with his election as chairman,
Mr. Cake Insists that the election of him
self as chairman was not in considera
tion of his acceptance of the resolution
directing the state convention to name a
delegation to the Chicago convention
favorable to the Secretary of War for
f resident.
The information that Mr. Cake agreed
to the adoption of the resolution indors
ing Taft as a candidate for President in
consideration of his election as state
chairman came from members of the
committee. It is believed they were not
only in a position to know of what they
were speaking but that they did know.
Furthermore, the report of the proceed
ings of the State Committee as published
in yesterday's Oregonian have since been
corroborated by other members of the
committee.
