AN
Another Fascinating Sport, With the Place
But a Few Minutes' Walk Distant
How is this as an ideal Summer holiday f
Your family is staying at your cottage at BAY
OCEAN. You run down Saturday evening 2"
hours from the city.
' You have no "fishin' togs," but you want to
go fishing. So with the simplest of outfits you
walk to Cape Mears, dressed as usual.
There, in the surf forever pounding against the
cliffs, scurry the fish, always ravenous.
. Out whirls your line. Soon comes a jerk, and
pulling in fast, yoir bring up ""porgy," sea trout,
black bass 'or torn cod.
Don't you thrill with the pleasure of it right
now?

sChief Engineer Clarke's Main
Estimate Incorrect.
RAISED PRICES BLAMED
WaTerleigh Heights Pipe Shows Lat
est Error Totals Dlfer by 10
Per Cent Change In
Office Hinted.
A difference of 10 per cent between the
original estimate of Chief Engineer
Clarke, of the Water Board, and' Elwood
Wiles, the sole bidder for a chain of
mains In Waverleigh Heights, was a fea
ture of the Water. Board's session yes
terday morning. Mayor Simon Intends
to secure an explanation as to why Mr.
Clarke's estimates on contract work are
nearly always Incorrect. He referred the
hid to the board for consideration. J. P.
Sbarkey, (tuner of three-fourths of the
land that must pay for the mains, said
he had gone over the Wiles bid and was
unable to see how the work could be done
at a lower figure. He Is willing to pay
the rate asked by Wiles. If the board
reel fit to award the contract, he told
the Mayor and the members. Mr. Clarke
says Increased prices are the cause of
the variance.
Clarke's Mistakes Many.
Mistakes that have been frequently
made by Mr. Clarke In compiling esti
mates for various Jobs, big and little.
hiv caused the administration a good
dAl of embarrassment. During ex-Mayor
line's tenure of office, he encountered
the same trouble with faulty estimates.
Through Inability to secure proper bids,
he was obliged to order the whole batch
of estimates, covering many months, sent
back for correction. Items were not
properly quoted at market rates, making
it Impossible for contractors to submit
correct proposals.
It is evident that .the administration
will make some kind ef a change In the
war future regarding the engineer's of
fice, as it is a constant source of trouble.
One thing that Is said to. Irritate Mayor
Simon Is the fact that Mr. Clarke is
drawing a first-class salary $400 a month
yet he appears unable to compile proper
estimates. The city engineer, having
charge of the enormous Interests that cen
ter In his office, receives but $200 a month.
It Is said that the Mayor believes Mr.
Clarke's salary Is out of all proportion
to the value of his service to the city.
Winter Prevents Hurt. f .
Only the fact that it is the Winter sea
son, instead of Bummer, saved the Water
Board from a very embarrassing situa
tion with regard to the Waverleigh
Heights bid. While the district is to be
paved with hard-surface next season,
along with a vast amount of other terri
tory, this cannot be done while It Tains,
and- this Is the saving condition. Be
cause of this, the Mayor said he would
not act hastily, but submit the question
to the board for consideration. The orig
inal estimate Is $32,769; the revised $36,110,
and the bid $36,069.
The board awarded to the East Jersey
Manufacturing Company a contract for
$40,070 worth of pipe and specials for con
necting the Mount Tabor reservoirs. The
lock-bar made was ordered for the first
time In the history of the city, upon rec
ommendation of Superintendent Dodge
and Mr. Clarke.
EVEN BOAT SHUNNED HER.
Woman Who Is Dissipated Given Ten
Days to Mediate.
Mrs. Rose Ellis, who came to Portland
two weeks ago from Coos Bay, was a re
morseful prisoner before Judge Bennett
yesterday morning "In the Municipal
Court. She had come to Portland on a
shopping trip, and, falling Into bad com
pany, was led Into a period of dissipation.
She had been brought Into court before
by the police, but was freed without pun
ishment by Judge Bennett oh her prom
ise of future good behavior.
Later she presented herself at the
steamer Breakwater In such a condition
that the captain of the boat refused to
take her aboard.
"Mrs. Ellis," said Judge Bennett, "boats
have the reputation of taking anything.
You must be getting pretty low if they
refused to take you. You will stay In jail
now for ten days until you can learn to
behave yourself."
Mrs. Ellis lives in North Bend.

GRAND JUROR IS HIT
Judge Compelled to Oust
"Drunk" From Jury.
UNUSUAL CASE ARISES

ment of Man Who Persisted In

up during the last 20 days.
' Strow was formerly a barber, but is now
an iron and steel worker, and lives at 451
Hall street. It was apparent to Mr. Cam
eron as soon as he was drawn that his
propensity for Imbibing from the flow
ing bowl might lead to trouble, but noth
ing was said about the matter until
Strow's conduct became unbearable.
The grand jury as it now stands. Is
composed es follows: S. C. Pier, fore-i
man: A. B. Schang, A. L. Johnston, Ed
ward Magee. John Olsen, W. H. Phelan
and- John Schlet. This is the third
change which has been made In the per
sonnel of the grand jury this month.

to 20 years.
Judge Bronaugh said be had Investi
gated the case carefully and was satis
fled that the girl in the case was not
above reproach.
"The fact that a girl has started on the
wrong path does not excuse a man,"
said the Judge, "especially when the girl
is lacking In years of discretion. I am
extending the parole In the hope that the
young men will avail themselves of the
leniency of the court, conduct themselves
as men should, and respect womanhood,
whether that womanhood is worthy. of
respect or not."

ROBBER GETS AN EASY TERM
State's Witness Will Serve Only 18
Months in Prison.
John Wommelsdorf, who testified
against Thomas O'Rourke in the Circuit
Court recently, was sentenced by Pre
siding Judge Bronaugh yesterday to serve
18 months in the Penitentiary. He was
allowed to change his plea from guilty of
highway robbery to guilty of grand lar
ceny. The two men held up and robbed
Edward Campbell near Ockley Green.
O'Rourke was sentenced to the Peniten
tiary for three years.
Deputy District Attorney Page pleaded
In Wommelsdorf's behalf yesterday that
he had given the state every assistance
in convicting O'Rourke, and that it
seemed unjust to sentence him to the
Penitentiary for from ten years to life,
as provided for highway robbers. He
recommended that the plea of grand lar
ceny be accepted.
